Gould, who was in Green ville Monday representing Harper's Weekly, and engaged in preparing data for a special Southern edition of that paper, gave a reporter for the Greenville News a number of in teresting faots. At the beginning of the year 1903 the wealth of the South was as great as that of the entire United States iu 1860, and all of this has boon oreatod sinoo the Civil War. There are now over one thousand two hun dred million dollars of Southern oapital invested in manufacturing enterprises alone, and the annual out put of the same exoeeds ono thous and five hundred million dollars. The South produces 75 per oent of all tho tobacco raised in the United States. The annual product of tho cotton fields is more than ten million bales, against about half that quantity 20 years ago. With twenty-two million dollars invested at that poriod she manufactured less than two hundred thousand bales of her own cotton. To-day, with one hundred and lifty million dollars invested capital, sho is manufacturing moro than one mil lion fivo hundred thousand bales. In 1880 tho South had only forty cotton seed oil mills, with a oapital of throo million five hundred thous and dollars. To-day she has more than five hundred cotton seed oil mills, with a capital of nearly fifty million dollars, and a produot of about ono hundred aud twenty-five million dollars. Tho annual consump tion of cotton seed by those milla is about two million five hundred thousand tons. Tho South is producing two hun dred million bushels moro grain than twenty years ago. Her agricultural products exceed in value those of 1880 by more than six hundred million dollars. There- are $12,000,000 of capital invested in rico industry, which was only in its infancy twenty years ago. Tho South produced in 1901 more than 3,000,000 tons of bituminous coal, moro than eight times thc out put of tho entire country in 18G9. Tho annual pig iron product is about 3,000,000 tons, and is more than eight times the output of the entire country in I860. Twenty years ago the Southern States had but little more than 20, 000 miles of railway ; to-day there are 55,000 miles. In 1890 there w re but 400 miles of street railways in tho entire country ; now the South has about 3,000 miles. Tho output of thc furniture in dustry in 1902 exceeded $15,000,000 and a largo quantity of it found its way to Grand Rapids, also to Europe and Australia. Within twenty years thc South has added 7,000,000 spindles to her milln, while tho additions to all other sec tions of the United States has been 2,000,000 spindles. In 1900 tho petroleum output of the whole country was 500,000 bar rels ; now the South is marketing over 20,000,000 barrels a year, the output being limited only by trans portation facilities. Since 1890 tho capital invested in manufacturing has increased in the South 348 per cent against an in crease of only 252 per cent in tho entire country. The increase in tho value of thc products of tho South has been 220 per cent against 142 per cent in thc nation. Tho increase in value in farm property has hoon 92 per cont in the South and only (57 per cent in thc United States. Moro than ono half of all the standing timber in the United States is in thc South. About 75 por cent of the world's cotton is raised in the South. Greenville Nows, September 16.

Selfishness, or living for self, is one of the many sins that is draging so many people down to death and hell. Oh, but some one says oharity roust begin at home. I say so, too. But living for self, and not looking out to soe what we may do for others to help them along, ia not oharity. Charity is tho love of God in the heart ; therofore wo have to receive it in our hearts before we can extend oharity to others. Giving things wo do not need, such as old olothes and many other things we oould mention, is not charity. Charity is pure love, is kind to every one, is not selfish nor stingy, but is always ready to lend a helping hand in every way possible to those in need of help. In First Corinthians, 18th ohapter, we read that oharity never faileth and is always kind. But look at the people who claim to bo living for God that have no oharity or sympathy for those in dis tress or trouble and are so stingy it is almost liko takin'g an eye tooth to. give tho woary and hungry a meal, or do an errand of meroy. We should examine our lives daily and see if we are living in obedience to the commands and will of God. We need not be afraid of doing some kind act to comfort others. We do not gain the favor of God by being all for self. Just think of what Ho gavo for us, His only begotten Son to die for us, and then so many peo plo not willing to give a poor, worn out pilgrim a morsel to eat without grumbling about it. I feel it is high time for ono and all to put on the whole armor and live for God, so wo may get home to heaven. We can not be a Christian and live just for self. So if any who read these lines think that let them read First John, ii and 17, and also Bcaroh the whole book, whicL will knock all such props from under them. Mrs. Lucy J. Rogers. Newry, S.

The Macedonian organizations, says a dispatch of a recent date from Sofia, Bulgaria, aro preparing a memorandum to be presented to the representativos of the powers, in whioh they will declare that the insurgents intend to resort to reprisals for tho Turkish atrocities. The memorandum gives detailed information of villages destroyed and the massacre of their inhabitants. It declares that 05,000 mon, women and ohildren have boon slaughtered and 120 villages burned. In tho list of villages given only two are in tho vilayet of Adrianoplo. Others aro principally in tho Monastir vilayet. Tho memorandum repeats tho statement re cently issued by the insurgent general staff at Monastir that the Turks, instead of fighting the insurgents, havo insti tuted a gonoral massacre of tho Chris tians. The organizations doolaro they aro issuing the present momoraudum because they aro no longer able to re strain tho bands from retaliation and henceforward . the responsibility will rest with tho great powers.

Now York, Soptember 14.-Reports from tho entiro ootton belt the past fow days havo boen of such a oharaoter and unanimity of opiuion with regard to tho ?letei ?oral ion of the cottou crop that oon viotion is strengthened and wo feel tho necossity of sounding a warning note to the cotton world, opposing all estimates of a largo yield and standing firmly by the heretofore oxprossod opinion that oouditions to-day do not warrant boliof iu a crop oxcoodiug 11,000,000 balos, ox treme maximum. There are many rea sons sustaining this view, aside from tho deterioration now going ou, tho critical stage of tho plant goneraliy admitted, tho limited period for rocovory and prox imity to frost; but tho most potont of all | is tho indisputable fact that Texas will find it a physioal impossibility to pro duce in excess of '1,000,000 bales, so long as tho boll woovil holds full sway and its ravages rcmaiu unchooked. Tho rest of | tho country will have to yiold 8,000,000 bales in order to exceed our estimate. Tho most hopeful, thcroforo, must real izo tho seriousness of the situation for the spinner who does not take hood and acquire his supplies from tho earliest possiblo moment and on a basis that will moot his requirements for the year.
