Africa No Rival of the South
.Those of our farmers wjio have
rend of experiments in the culture
'of cotton in South Africa ill the
past few years need have little fear
of that country offering competition
of any consequence, for at
le iF.t some years to'come.
The department of commerce
* aud labor has just published a report'
Btatiu'g'that the result of the
attempt to grtfw cotton in West
Afrita has been very discouraging,
owing to'the absence of transportation
facilities and the scarcity of
Jntjorers. In Sierra Leone the cotton
association tried American
vepcjs, but the phintntion did not
ppove a success. Under the most
fnvofahle conditions Sierra Leone
hould be expected to produce only
140,000 bales a year. Northern
Nigeria, with a population of 20,000,000
civilized people, is best titted
for the cotton industry, hut
the luck of transportation faeili
ties uinkeslt. impossible to conduct
it. The colonies Lagos, Southern
Nigeria, Clold Coast, Sierra Leone,
alia CJftnibia could, under tin? most
favorable conditions, produce 3o0,000
bales, but for the next eight
years not more thuu 100,000 can
be expected.

Aocordingto reports from Charlotte,
the Strike of 1 he union printers
Is broken and there is general
rejoicing not only among the pub

truin and Charlotte is now an
"open" towu. One union printei
and one lynotype machinist re
^turned to work Saturday and ii
was expectod that at least three
bthor printers would be in theii
bid places Monday. The employing
printers decided that they
would not refuse to take back any
competent union man who shonld
apply, but with the understanding
that they sever all relations with
the union and enter an "open
shop." The striko has seriously
handicapped the newspapers, but
bach has appeared regularly though
in abbreviated shape. The publishers-are
elated over t ln? break^ug
of the strike and the fact that
the death knell of unionism lias
been sounded, so far as Charlotte
is concerned,

I oi uiHcusBion at tne recent meet-|
, ihg of the New JC:iglutid Cotton ,
| Manufacturer's Association at At- |
luntio City. Members of the as- I
Sociatioii discussed at great length t
I tlje necessity <>f ucion lookiml: to 1
the eulargmeut of the market for '
the product of the American cot- !
ton mills and frankly exchanged
figures and experiences showing
that the mills of the South have
led in the progress of manufacturing
in the lust few years and
have made it necessary for the
New England mills to look to the
foreign fields for their products.
The concession is a remarkable
tribute to the spirit of the new
South, which is no longer content
to plant and pick cotton, hut now
raises, markets atjd manufactures
cotton. The northern spinners
for many years had all they could
do to supply the demnnd of the
home market, hut now the South,
with its materials at the doors of
the mills; with its coal holds, tirn- j
her forests and magniticent streams
furnishing a cheap and never fail- j
ing supply of fuel, water and power;
with its cheap labor, owing to
the cheaper cost of living, with all
the natural and artificial advantages
that may be pmtitahly employed
in the manufacture of the
home-grown crop is finding a welcome
in the home markets and
forcing the New England mills to
scan foreign fields for an outlet
for their surplus. That they have
been successful in this search is
shown by the fact that exports of
col ion mnnuraclures tor the year
ended last June were iu excess of
$50,000,1)00, an increase of iiOO per
, cent in ten years. The resources
i of the South are just beginning to
be understood and developed, lier
. inevitable prosperity can hardly
( be exaggerated by predictions,
Portrait of Gen. Robert E. Lee.
The fact that too frequently it
1 transpires in Aineiicau history
that no accurate and authentic
' portrait of her great men is faithk
fully preserved has caused a number
of devoted admirers of General
Hubert E. Lee to interest themselves
to cause a perfect picture of
the great general to be made and
to be preserved for future history.
This work, after a lapse of forty
years, is now under way by the
John A, Lowell Bank Note Co., of
Boston, who are using for this purpose
the exact photograph made at
Gen. Lee's residence in Richmond
a few days after the surrender,
which picture has always been
considered by the Lee family and
friends as the most perfect like|
tiesH of the general at that period.
The work, when finished will be
of the highest art of steel engraving.
so that it will thus be preserved
for all future time.

Heard the Masonic Secrets.
A very unusual cnse, the results
of which will bo watched with interest,
i? the arresting at Spencer,
N. C , a few days neo of ten young
men on the curge of trespassing in
in and upon a hall in which the
MaBonic fraternity was holding a
[ meeting. The boya climbed a ladder
to a garret and crept to a venj
tilator in the room, from which the
proceedings of the lodge could be
heard. They weie discovered and
arrested and were held under the
charge of simple trespass, but if
the more serioils charge of eavesdropping
is pushed, the result will
bo unite different. There is a law
in N >rth Carolina against interfering
with a Masonic meeting. The
youngsters range from 14 to 20
years of age and are of some of the
most prominent families in Spen

arc said to be considerably stirred
up oyer the possibility of some of
their secrets being stolen and the
meetings broken up.
