oomnuttu heard a different story today
of the condition of manufacturers and
out )*]*;$' t<a in Massachusetts, from that
given at the previous sessions of th*

was stamped its bugbear by ex-Senato?
Robert Howard, of Fall River, who ap
peared as the representative of the Fall

Mr. lUward mi id, in brief: "1 hacc

of the people throughout the length

and Massachusetts tonrtioulurly^ ti
seems to me that thyse who are (do' n.1-!
tlu* most talving posses^ more of :<
theoretical t>hnn a practical lcnowledgi
of cotton manufacturing. The majority
of the manufactures of Massachusetts
depend more for success upon skilleit
operatives, and climatic conditions 1
the Hue of floods they are engaged .n,
than proximity to the cotton fields.

no Stute in the country lias made t>Ui li

Carroll 1?. Wright says that Massac-un

Massa'-luist Its, > some operators rt
trying to impress n|x?n the country
how can y-ni account for the Increase
in swindles and looms? In 1S8J then
were 4.23ti,''M spindles in the State. T'n

that bug-bear of 'Southern cimpotitiou '
it has been stated that raw cotton is
taken by Southern railroads as 11 ft h

it as only second or third class freight.

Mew York, Feb. 22 . ? The,* aitf and the
descendants at the sons ui tuir Uixiu
gathered tonight in the banquet. ing hull
ol Sherry's to eloopate iln-a nnt.i anni
versary and ninth annual dinner, and
alsH) to il<? honor to the momory of Wash
ington. The couitpany gathered around
the bounteous t> *ard ws a truly repre
sentative one. They vrere a truly pa
triotic crowd and evety mention of thai
grand name thai had made a nation,
and who Was a son of Southern noil, wn?
greeted with i 'i ? wild s, applause.
The guests were seated around a
lituseshoosiiapcd table, fro.n Which there
branched a smaller table, going down
thd con t ro of tho hall . All about the
"Old Glory" was draped and tthe beauty
of the scene was euhan.ed with anany
rowing and (lowering plains. It was
nearly 10 oVloek, for the members ha<l
dallied long over the viand**, vflien the
president of the society ami the presi
dent of the dinner, Mr. Charles A.
Deshon, arose and in a short address in
troduced the tirst speaker of the even
ing, Hon. William Kverett. who was to
respond to t^e toast "Washington."
Mr. Deshon said that the speaker was
the son of fldward l-lverett, but that he
reste<l on his own merits rather than on
those of liis father. The remarks ol
Mr. Everett aroused, at time, the gre<t
?>st enthusiasm, and even when tin
speaker undertook to lecture the society
member, they with Southern good humor,
took it good naturedly.
There was great cheering at the con
elusion of the address and tho other
speeches were also enthusiastically re
ceived. "The Ivmpire State" was re
sponded to ihy James C. Carter; "The
Southerner in New York" by Dr. William
I j. Polk; "Southern Characteristics,"
Uev. J. J. Lafferty, "The Journalist in
Politics," John Kendrick Hangs, and
"The City of .Now York," Job II.
1 ledges.
"Dixie," "Old Folks at Home," and
"The Old Kent ucy Home" were sung
with a vim that only the Southerner
knows how to impart to these songs, and
when the ninth dining" of Uie Smithy fn
Society catme to an end, loug after
Washington's birthday, it was voted
ilie most sucei ssfful in dm Society's

disposition ?>f the State military appro
priation will |Mv>l?a<l>iy be decided on
some time this work. Governor Atkin
son has nlrea ly had several pivliniinary
conferences with the military tbpart
i hi*' ii(. Fhmi what can be learned it is
nol probable that there \vill In* any en
campment this year. The $t7.o<H) up
: preprinted by the legislature is no'
. suOicient to provide for even half of
the troops in tamp for a sufficient length
of time to he of practical value to them,
and it is therefore more than likely that
tho money will 1k> used to supply over
j coats and other equipments or oppor
! lionetl out to companies to pay armory
' rent.
A movement has been set on foot to
hold a htg military enearnpment in At
lanta dining the Imposition. C?ipt. Ilnr
nard. of the Troup Hussars, was in the
ei:y to lay on this mission. TbQ plan
of those behind the in^vriivf'.lt is to
muster all the military of the Statii here
for three days, camping on the l'l -
t ion grounds just as is done at the regie
| lar State encampment. It has been stig
! pestcil that the military opproprin?ion
eonhl l*? advantageously nsed for this
sort of nu enea tnppient, but this part of
the plan has so far received no en -onr
agement from the Governor -or mili:ary
