The Distribution OF Labor.

A study of the development of the cotton
industry in the south, and the other indus
tries also, disclosed several very interest
ing facts. In the first place, the number
of manufacturing establishments in the
rural districts is much larger in proportion
than in the northern states, and the pro-
portion of factories in the cities and the
great centers of population is much less.
This is due to the distribution of labor
Nearly all the operatives in the southern
mills belong to the class known as poor
whites" and small factories are scattered
throughout those sections Of the states
where this labor can be found. Taking
Georgia as an illustration, you will find
mostly small country mills; in 1905
of all the factories in the state was
only $46,922. There were 1853 establish
ments in 1905, with an average output of
less than 100000; while only ten factories
more than a million dollars.
The same is true in South Carolina. Out
of a total of 1889 factories only 22O are
in cities and centers of population, while
proportion appears in North Carolina. This
popularity has appeared ever since manu-
featuring was introduced into the South
Atlantic states. The proportion of fac
show comparatively little change during
the last thirty years. The actual increase
has been In favor of the rural districts In
the number of hands employed, in the
wages paid, and in the value of the output.
This holds good not only of cotton mills,
but of every class of manufacturing.
The mills have been located almost actu-
ally in the cotton fields, and they have
utilized the water-power of the mountain
streams, but they must have traHsporta-
ton facilities to get their products to mar
ket. Without them they could not exist
The late Samuel Spencer, president of the
rail ruh uyico nh;
pher as well as skilled engineer and a re-
markable business man, made a speech q
few weeks before his death In which he de-
scribed the Industrial situation as follows:

greeted by great applause. When he could
be heard he said, he would never forget
the manifestation of goodwill which his
friends had made. He had striven, he
said, to do his duty by his state. his coun.
try and his party, and had no cause to bo
ashamed of his record. In conclusion, he
again expressed his gratitude and renewed
his fealty to the republican party, which
had honored him, and to his personal
friends, whose devotion he highly priced.

Progress in North Carolina.

North Carolina. as 1 have already said,
ranks third in the list of cotton manufac
turing states, and the increase there is
quite as rapid as in South Carolina. In
1880 the capital invested in that industry
was 81 $50, 800, which in 1905 had increased
to $57 41341S. The increase in the five
years from 1900 to 1905 was more than
SO, 100000. The number of wage-earners
has increased even more rapidly than in
South Carolina, as the following table will

w. P. Hubbard and Private

Mr.. Hubbard is Mr.. Dovener's successor
in Congress. In the course of his letter
to Mr.. Shinn he spoke of his predecessor
in the highest terms, expressing his ac-
acknowledgements for the courtesies which
Mr.. DOvener had extended and the aid
given him in preparation for the duties
he will assume the 4th of March.
Senator Scott was introduced as the right
sort of republican; of equal pose in vic
tory and defeat, and one who holds the
umbrella over friend when it is neces-
sary.'
He is now goin out of Office said the
senator, but he may want to return to Of
flee. Perhaps, he may want to be judge
and If the time comes when he needs
me to hold the umbrella. 1 will be there"
At the conclusion of Senator Scott's re-
marks all drank to Captain Dovener's good
health and prosperity.

Water Supply Menaced.


South Carolina has more cotton mills
driven by electricity than any other state
in the Union, and the manager of the
General Electric Company told me the
other day that they are now building ma
chinery for five 5.0OO-horsepower plants for
that state. Waterpower is abundant, con-
venient and easily applied in both North
and South Carolina, although 1t is abso-
lutely necessary that something should be
done very soon to protect the sources of
the streams, which are being ruined by
cutting the timber from the mountains.
There has been a bill before Congress for
several years for the purchase of that great
forest which lies at the intersection of
five state and is the source of nearly all
the streams that water the south. 1t is
proposed to make the Appalachian noun
tans a great national park On the same
basis as the Yellowstone Park, to furnish
a playground and a health resort for the
people and preserve forever the springs
that feed the rivers that necessary
to the mechanical industries of the south
Atlantic states.
In addition to cotton goods South Carolina
produces Il large amount of hosiery and
knit goods, the increase in that line of BUSH
ness during the last five years being 1873

HONOR THEIR FRIEN b
WEST VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS
TOAST MR.. DovENER.

Sixty West Virginians, including some of
the most distinguished men of the state, sat
last evening about the festal banquet
board at the Cairo at a dinner given in
honor of Representative b. B. Dovener of
the first West Virginia district. who retires
the 4th Of March. Mr.. c. M. Shinn, presi-
dent of the West Virginia Republican As
ISOLATION, was POSTMASTER. The guests as
sembled at the Cairo shortly after 8 o'clock,
and for one hour they talked of the past,
in which they took much pride. and of the
future, regarded as filled with hope to the
state. Shortly after the guests had be-
come seated at the banquet, about 0 o'clock.
Mr.. Shinn introduced Senator N. B. Scott,
and the affair lapsed into Republican love
feast. One after another of the war horses
Of the party in West Virginia were toasted.
Before Senator Scott made his address, in
which he stated he would always be found
backing 1.-The boys" when they needed his
aid, letter was read from Private Dali
zell. in which the senator was doomed for
the presidency. The suggestion. though
evidently somewhat embarrassing to the
senator, was greeted with cheers. The
Private also paid a high compliment to
his friend and comrade. Capt. Dovener. In
every speech Representative Dovener was
lauded for the great work he had done
while in Congress, and particularly for the
effort he has made and the results &C.
complished for the work upon the rivers
of the state of West Virginia and of the
country. His army record was referred to,
and 1t was brought out that at the-age of
twenty he commanded company Of sol
diers in defense of the Union. Since then
he has been an ardent republican, ranking
high among the leaders of his party.
speechmaking Opens.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Mr. Shinn an
pounced that speechmaking was in order.
The object Of the gathering. he said. was
to do honor to man who has served his
state in Congress with honor and success
for twelve years. He referred to the great
work which Capt. Dovener has done as
member of the committee on rivers and

Tributes by Others.

Ex-Governor Atkinson was introduced
and paid high tribute to Capt. Dovener's
record as soldier of the civil war and
later as a member of Congress.
Il want to say" he continued. that no
one can write the history of the republican
party in the state of West Virginia during
the past thirty-five years and not mention
the name of Dovener." The former gov
ernor then told of Capt. Dovener's learning
in the law and declared that he stood at
the head of the criminal bar of the state
of West Virginia.
Don't you think" he concluded, that
man of such ability as Dovener is going to
retire. He will certainly be heard from In
public life before long"
Representative Gaines, who was the next
speaker said the POSTMASTER made a mis-
take in his introduction when he said that
Gaines is all wool and yard wide"
Il am" said the representative. "all
wool, but you can plainly see that / am
not yard wide. 1t gives me pleasure to
testify to the good work that the guest of
honor has done for the state he has repre-
sented. No republican In West Virginia
can party came into the ascendant In our
state, and the credit for the victory in
large share Is given to Capt Dovener."
"In conclusion" he said, II wish Capt.
Dovener much success.
Speeches were also made by Gen. w. w.
Scott of the West Virginia National Guard;
Mr.. George, M. Bowers, United States fish
commissioner: Mr.. Alex Clohan of Mar
tinsburg, Capt. ]. NJ. Pipes OF the govern
ment printing Office, Gen. Van H. Bukey of

Similar Strides in Georgia.

Georgia is making similar stride in the
cotton industry. The number of spindles in
creased from s15,545 in 1900 to 1,316,573 in
1905, and the number of looms from 1888
to 1910. In 1870 the capital employed
in the cotton mills of Georgia was So, 433, =
PCS; today it is s42,349,61s. The increase
during the last five years has been "A per
cent. The increase in the number of wage
earners in the cotton mills has been 70 per
cent; in wages paid, 4S per cent, and in
the value of the product, 50 per cent.
The following table will show the figures
for Georgia. which may be compared with
those of North and South Carolina:
