by WALTER EDWARD HARRIS.
WASHINGTON. y. c., July 27.-In
1905 the capital invested in cotton
manufacturing In Virginia amounted
to se.6s4.856. In 1880. the total capital
invested in Virginia cotton mills was
Bs1,646,Ss0. This increase OF six hun
dred per cent. In quarter OF a CEN
fury is one OF the most striking evil
dences that Virginia has been hustling
in an Industrial way since she begun
to get firmly on her feet after tho
close OF the War Between the States.
The figures contained In bulletin
on the cotton textile industry. issued
to-day by the Census Bureau, from
which the foregoing are taken. tell
wonderful story Of development Of
cotton manufacturing In the Southern
States. It Is story which tells OF the
gradual transfer OF the centre of tex
tile manufacturing from New England
to the vicinity OF the cottonfielCs,
when the sceptre will have departed
and fallen into the hands Of the South
ern manufacturers.
AS stated above the capital invests
| ed In cotton textile manufacturing in
Virginia in 1880 was about s1,600000.
In the ten years to 1890 this sum had
| Increased to $4,0s9,511. In 1900 the
| total capital In the Industry in Vir-
giria amounted to $6,769,667, which In
the next five years increased to $9.694,-
S56.
Value of Textile Products.
IN 1880 the total value of the cotton
textile products of Virginia amounted
to only $1.61S.93o. In the next ten
years the value of the output of the
\
i the value Of products was $5,f62,329.
4 In 1905 the value had jumped to So
S20,s2s.
1t is a striking fact that there
/ were moro cotton mills in Virginia
] in 1850 than there are at present, al
/ though the total capital invested is
4 so much greater and the total annual
output 1t of such greater value. In
1850. there We're Sc cotton manufacto-
ries in Virginia. In 1890 the number
decreased to Al, butin 1900 the number
Increased to SO, In the five years from
1880 to 1905 the number decreased to
i So.
In 1905 there were $50 salaried Off
Gals and clerks in the employment
i of cotton mill companies, receiving
total OF $161,577 annually
4 The number of wage-earners en-
ployed IN Virginia cotton mills in $50
was 6,6l9, receiving s1.647,7s98 a yeal
i Manufacturing In North Carolina.
The capital invested in the cotto
manufacturing industry of North Gar
olina In 1905 was S61,002.030. In 100
/. the total investment was $34.45s,42;
and $11,105,122, In 1880 1t was onl

minister" sarrett's story.

John Barrett, the new director of
the Bureau of American Republics,
tells good story on himself. Some
years ago he was asked by friend to
make a speech at a big barbecue
which was to be held at distant
town, says the Youths Companion
His friend was to have been the
principal speaker, but owing to illness
was unable to attend; so he sent Mr..
Barrett instead. He telegraphed the
chairman Of the barbecue that John
Barrett exminister to Siam, would
deliver the address of the day"
The chairman. being acquainted
with ministers Of only one kind, was
somewhat astonished that Mr.. Barrett
should be sent When the time came
for the speech he went to the front OF
the platform to Introduce the speaker
After consulting the telegram again
to be sure of the name, he said:
1T gives me great pleasure to intro
duce the principal speaker of the day
The Rev. John Barrett, ex-missionary
to the benighted heather of Siam, will
now speak"

THE ROOSEVELT GUN.

Beyond question sort OF surprise
wave has swept over the country fol-
lowing the spread of the information
that the President carries q gun in his
right hip pocket But the surprise will
doubtless subside upon due reflection.
The hip-pocket shooter is entirely in
accord with the Rooseveltian ideals Of
speak softly, but carry a big stick; !"
1.-THE surest guarantee of peace is to be
constantly prepared for war" etc. That
the President himself is constantly
prepared for war must not be taken
as sign that he is not, all the same,
an ardent lover Of peace. 1t is a sign,
however, that he is not an acceptor of
the Tolstoi doctrine of nonresistence.
He is not the kind of peace advocate
that is disposed to turn the other
cheek. Early experiences have much
to do with forming habits of think.

Mr.. Roosevelt was ranching and living

eranaers on Good Roads Work.

At the state convention of the
grangers at Binghamton the special
committee on good roads work pre-
sented lengthy report in which 1t
was urged that the state should not
continue the work of constructing good
roads until an equitable basis of ap-
portionment between the counties has
been adopted. To accomplish this, a
law is recommended which will allot
to each county its share of any ap-
preparation made from the $50,OOO,OO0
to be used by the state for good roads
work. They would have state aid for
good roads rated according to the as
sessed valuation of the towns.
