FACTS ABOUT COTTON.
A Manufacturer's View- as to Present
Outlooks for Ginning.
Mr. D. A Tompkins, of North
Carolina, a cotton manufacturer
of long experience, has boon
spending some time among the
factories of New England. While
there lie had impressed upon him
some facts that will be of interest
to all Southern cotton growers.
In a published newspaper inter-
view he
years ago there was no
Egyptian cotton imported into
the United States. Within ten
years its importation has
ed from nothing to bales.
or about pounds, val-
at about These are
tho figures given by the United
States consul at Cairo- Egyptian
first came into here in
the manufacture of
hosiery- It is this cotton which
gives the peculiar brown color
and silky to some knit goods
The popular color of much of the
best knit underwear is duo to the
Egyptian cotton from which they
are made- All efforts to imitate
this by dyeing tho American cot-
ton have been unsuccessful. The
price of Egyptian cotton is only
from one to two cents more than
the American cotton. Some
have been expecting that the
South would demand protection
against Egyptian cotton. While
it is far cheaper than our Sea Is-
land cotton, it is better than our
ordinary upland, and has a better
color and than our best
grade of improved upland.
is said that the improve-
in tho production of cotton
in Egypt is greatly due to the
Confederate officers who were en-
gaged in this country by the
dive to reorganize his army. These
officers in many cases gave
to other things besides
affairs. Among these things
was the importation from the
States of quantities of Sea Is-
land cotton seed, which were used
in the valley of the Nile- The
good quality of tho cotton now
brought to this country from
Egypt is said to be the outcome
of the work in improving
cotton culture in Egypt by those
ex Confederates.
Egyptian cotton has
most entirely token the place of
American cotton abroad for the
production of goods.
The extent of its introduction in
this country would be enough to
show it most be making even
greater headway abroad. Out-
side tho United States it is now
largely where American Sea
Island was used formerly.

States the tendency down here
has been to gin the cotton
after it is picked It is a
known fact that better cotton
was made before the war, when
the seed cotton was stored as it
was picked, and then ginned at
leisure. It U believed that
before ginning gave time for
the to absorb just a little oil
from the seed, which gave it some
of that brown color and silky
peculiar now to Egyptian cot-
ton. Prior to the war, too, cotton
was ginned by mule-power, a
much slower process than that
now in use, so that tho was
less cut then than it now is by the

color and gained by
the from the oil in the seed
while in storage are not the only
advantages gained. The dry and
cut cotton as it is now ginned
generates thus
each so that it
tends to stand on end. This ten-
in some cotton has been
found to be so great as to almost
prevent its use for spinning. The
Egyptian cotton is said to be bet-
in this respect, and it is
thought a great improvement
could be made in the American
staple by holding the seed cotton
in storage from one to three
months then ginning it care-
fully, it is probable that by these
means our improved upland
can be made to serve all
poses as well as the Egyptian cot-
ton, and thus the South may get
back some valuable trade lost
the markets both of this country
and abroad. Certainly, if the
South desires to continue to hold
the markets, as, of course, she
does, we must make better and
cheaper cotton and put it on the
market in the best possible shape.

Landmark;
ELECTING U. S. SENATORS BY
THE PEOPLE.
It seems as if the people were
already prepared to vote on the
question of providing by
amendment for the
of United States Senators by
themselves. The indications are,
however, that the main question
will be fully discussed in the
States before, if ever,
it is submitted to the judgment of
the people at the polls. We mean
by tho use of the phrase
main that the Sen
ate is so conservative a body that
it may decide not to consult the
voters on this subject at all. Tho
members of that body are no
doubt well satisfied with the
constitutional provision on
the subject.
Mr. Hoar a long time ago
an able argument in the United
States Senate against tho
contained in Mr.
proposed amendment-
Mr. Hoar proved that Sena-
tors ought to be chosen by tho
State Legislatures. But his
was based upon the as-
that as the Constitution
and laws now stand United States
Senators are elected by the Leg-
of the several States,
whereas the fact seems to be that
they are chosen by party
or men of long purses, or rail-
road companies, or trusts, or mo
of some other kind. In
other words, it may be said that
if the theory of the framers of the
Federal Constitution were always
or generally acted upon and car-
out by the State
it would be well to let the
provision in the Federal
on this subject remain as
it is; but that inasmuch as the
facts prove that that theory is no
longer respected or acted upon,
the proposed amendment ought
to be incorporated into the Con-
One of our exchanges says that
ton State Legislatures, or at any
rate a number of them, have
ready acted favorably upon tho
proposed amendment. But of
course nothing they could do
the amendment was formally
proposed in the manner prescribed
in the Constitution would
be entitled to be considered. Tho
ratification must necessarily take
place after tho question of
cation is submitted to the several
State Legislatures.
The Springfield
says that having a candidate
endorsed by the votes of the
before he is elected by the
Legislature is same as
having him elected by the people-
As long ago as in 1858 Stephen
A. Douglass and Abraham Lin-
took the stump in Illinois,
and each presented to the voters
the reasons why he should be
elected to the United States Sen-
ate. Mr. Douglas carried the
State. That is, a majority of the
members elected to the
were chosen in his interest-
It was a remarkable canvass which
Lincoln and Douglas made.
We do not think that the
will be willing to continue the
present mode of electing United
States Senators. Having been in
on the subject, and
seen for themselves how the
existing law is perverted from its
original purpose, they will
the subject until they have
compelled their public servants
carry out their wishes. To refuse
to change the Constitution would
be to approve indirectly the
methods now in use in con-
with the election of
States Senators, and give to
the trusts, monopolists, and
charter illimitable
as the wind to blow on whom they
or to elect whom they
might choose to elect, in defiance
of the will of the
the other extreme.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, D- C, August
The
Democratic Senators have it in
their power to end the tariff dead
look an hour, but they have so
far declined to make use of their
power. It is now apparent that
the Democratic conferees on the
tariff bill can easily reach an
agreement on the bill if they
could be assured that the agree-
would the votes of
the Senators necessary. The
lack of that assurance is the only
stumbling block at this writing.
They naturally hesitate to
an agreement when they are in
doubt whether it would be ac
or rejected by the Senate,
that its rejection would
mean the failure of all tariff leg-
However, the pressure
is becoming so strong on
or-ruin Democratic Senators from
the outside that it is the general
belief that they will soon consent
to give to a sufficient extent
to got a bill through that can be
accepted by all good Democrats-
So strong is this belief that the
House Democratic caucus, which
was to have been held Thursday,
has been deferred for a few days,
when it is hoped that an agree-
will render it unnecessary-
President Cleveland very prop-
declined to officially receive
the commission sent to Washing;
ton by the ex-Queen of Hawaii
for the purpose of trying to
vent the recognition of the Haw-
republic. They saw
Gresham, but merely as
individuals. This whole Haw-
business will probably be
left the hands of Congress,
whore President Cleveland placed
it many months ago, and when
Congress directs the formal re-
cognition of the
resolution to that effect is now
pending in tho will be
done, and not before.
Senator who has
been too ill to take part in the
tariff conference, is now much
better, although not yet well
enough to resume his duties.
Representative Hutcheson, who
is a lawyer of high standing in
addition to being a Texas Demo-
of deserved prominence in
tho House, has grown tired of
every attempt to control
or abolish trusts, by a national
law, wrecked by collision with
the Constitution; and has offered
a joint resolution proposing this
amendment to the Constitution
and monopolies dealing
in agricultural products, or other
articles of prime necessity, shall
not exist the United States,
Congress shall have power
to enforce this article by
This is short,
but there is no doubt of its cover-
the ground, but, in view of
recent exhibitions of the influence
of trusts in Congress, there is
much doubt of its receiving the
necessary two-thirds vote of Con-
Representative Bryan, of Ne-
has received a letter from
executive committee of
Democratic Free League
of that State, asking him to an-
his for the U-
S- Senate and to make a personal
canvas of the State. While Mr.
Bryan has not himself yet so
there is little doubt
among his friends that he will
in a few days accede to the re-
quests of the committee.
There is one reform that
should be forced on Congress by
public opinion, and that is the
absolute prohibition of the at-
of new legislation as
amendments to the general
appropriation bills- No better
example of the viciousness of tho
system need sought for than
was presented by the Senate this
week when an amendment to the
Sundry Civil appropriation bill
providing for tho of the
upon which to
build a new government Printing
Office, was adopted, It would
be impossible to get the House
to agree to this purchase if
in a separate bill; hence
tho action of the Senate, upon
which Mahone has a to
force the House to agree or to
see an important appropriation
bill fail. It is generally admitted
that tho Mahone lot is unsuited
for tho and in
price, and were it not for the
lobbying of Gen- Ma-
hone it would never even have
seriously considered as
among the eligible sites. It
remains to seen whether the
will allow itself to be
bulldozed into voting a gratuity
of public money to Gen- Mahone

Dear Sin
As the time for holding the
Congressional Convention is fast
and the necessity of
selecting our best man for a stand-
ard bearer in the coming Con-
campaign is becoming
apparent to true Democrat,
I desire to call the attention of
the Democracy of the First Dis-
to a true and tried Demo-
of Pitt county, who has
oftentimes served the Democracy
and the whole people of the
county in the Senate of North
Carolina with honor to
and credit to himself I has
always proven faithful to every
trust committed to his keeping.
The people of Pitt county
ally, and whole district at large,
would feel that their interest was
watched with vigilant care and
conserved with fidelity of
pose if Willis R- Williams was
our Representative in Congress.
We hope that he will be
by the Convention at
Greenville on the 15th and we
feel assured that his election
would follow. X.

do not think the denomination makes
any difference. All I care for Is the
Christian church at large, and so I do
not pay any attention at all to tho
differences in the creeds. Mr. Davis
was settled about fifty miles, that Is
about eighty of your miles, from my

What I wonder at la that wigs are
not universal. They do such good
service in sparing the natural hair.
One can dye a wig to taste without
unpleasantness to the scalp. I am
getting really to like tho wispy wig
of a hue that nature never could
have Invented. A beauty born with
red hair looks so much better in a
dark wig, or a flaxen or an amber-
colored one, than in what nature
gave her. The rod wig makes a
dark-complexioned person going on

Bethel Items.
August 6th, 1894
The meeting at the Baptist
church closed last Monday night-
Mr. L- of Penny Hill,
was in town one day last week.
Mr- W- N. Hammond was
the recipient of a fine son last
Tuesday night He is a happy
man.
The Bethel base ball club went
over to Falkland last Friday to
play a match game but for some
cause they did not play-
County Commissioner Gainer
could not go to Greenville to-day
to meeting
on account of rain and high water.
The Board of Road Supervisors
were in session Saturday- Owing
to the inclement weather the
Board adjourned to meet
day 18th at o'clock P. M.
We have had the heaviest rains
for many years, the water in Grin-
die Creek is the highest ever
known- All bridges across canals
and Large ditches in this section
are washed up- The crops are
greatly damaged-
the past week this sec-
has had the heaviest rainfall
in many years- Since
Friday there has been no
of the down pour for
more than few minutes at tho
time. Streams are all flooded.
crops are submerged, bridges are
washed away, and there is
disaster throughout tho
try. The tobacco farmers of Pitt
have suffered incalculable dam-
age. Many barns that were cur-
have been ruined by water
rising in them and putting out the
fires in the furnaces. It is feared
the standing crop will take a sec
and growth, in which case there
will still greater damage.
Joe Blow got a little excited in
tolling how fast the was
rising Monday, and said it was
rising an inch a minute. He
meant an inch an The-
Saturday rise for twenty-four
hours was five feet. Water came
in the warehouse at the wharf
Monday.
Mr- E. Back says there is more
water in Parker's run than he
ever saw before from rain. Dur-
the big freshet of the
water from the river backed up
until the run was about one foot
higher than at present.
Col. I. A- Sugg said that the
rain fall from Friday noon to
Monday noon was inches-
Monday his lowland corn was
standing in two feet of water.
Neighboring farms along the
were submerged.
The County Commissioners
could not a meeting Mon-
day because of absence of a
quorum- Chairman Dawson and
Commissioner Fleming were all
who get here, the former
having to come on the train-
Rey. J. C- said he found
so many bridges washed up Mon-
day morning that it was with
much difficulty he got back from
his Sunday appointments.
There was only a
yesterday. The indications are
that the rainy spell has broken
fair weather is looked for.
Mr. O- W. Harrington says
Great is overflowed
crops are being drowned. Water
is waist deep in his corn.
County Commissioner
Fleming said the water on his
place was higher Monday morn-
than he ever saw it-
Dr- W. H. Bagwell tells us
pie living along creek say
they never saw so much water in
it as is there this week.
Tho river was still rising rapidly
and looked as though
it would go to the high water
mark of 1887.
The star route mails between
Greenville and Tarboro are hung
up because of high water-
The water in several wells has
come even with the ground
and many have caved in-
Dies Away From Home.
The sad was
brought by telegram to bis family
here, on Saturday morning, that
Mr Wiley J. Higgs had died
suddenly at Littleton on Friday
evening. Mr. Higgs had gone to
Panacea Springs to spend a few
weeks, was in his usual health
and jovial spirits, and the
of his family were totally
unprepared for such a shock as
the news of his death brought
them. Up to supper Friday
evening he showed no indication
of sickness, but shortly thereafter
was suddenly seized with some
heart affection and died in half
an hour. Upon receiving the
telegram his sons wired for his
remains to be sent to Scotland
Neck and they took the train
immediately to meet his body
there. He was buried on Sunday
in Halifax county by the side of
his wife who died six years
ago. Mr. Higgs was a native of
Halifax county and was about
years of age. He moved to
Greenville four years ago and
had made a host of friends among
our people. He leaves four sons
and three daughters, Messrs. E-
B., J. W-, J. S. and little Rom,
and Misses Fannie, Novella, and
Emily, all of whom live here- To
these the sympathy of the entire
community is extended in their
sad bereavement.

THE ON JARVIS.
The friends of Senator Jarvis
can look on complacently at the
efforts of those who want to sink
him along with Ransom,
for no intelligent man can fail to
see that Ransom has gone under.
Jarvis is fortunate, inasmuch as
he is armored round with a flaw-
less record. For a man who has
been in public life as long as
Jarvis has, his record is singular-
perfect. He has made so few
mistakes that those who seek his
defeat sift and his public
life in the vain hope of
some charge upon which they
could reasonably cry for his
So far as the News
knows, two things have been
brought against him-
One is that he increased Char-
lie Vance's salary from to
per year-
The other is that ho voted
against the fast mail
If there any other charges,
we have not seen them in print.
The first charge is no charge
at all. It is a feather in
cap. We want to see every North
Carolina officeholder get as much
of Uncle Sam's money as he can,
and tho man who raises his salary
gets our It
would have been all the better
had he made Vance's salary
The money is there, and
tho more the North Carolina
officeholders get, the more will
be put in circulation in this
State- As to the second charge,
Mr. Jarvis is probably able to
defend
If Mr. Ransom is not beyond
being hurt by anything that his
friends may say or do, they are
certainly preparing to finish him
by this war they are inaugurating
on Jarvis- Had Jarvis an assail-
record, it would different-
As it is, the closer Senator Ran-
friends lay, the better it
will be for their cause. The fact
is, Ransom and Jarvis are fine
men, influential men of
brains and of excellent character,
and their exalted standing should
protect them from assaults by the
Democratic press of the State
Charlotte News.
James J- who is now
canvassing Kansas for the Re-
publicans and indulging an
descent of returning to
the Senate, finds that tho
voters of the State are very hos-
tile to him. This is because of a
letter which wrote some
years ago favoring the
of the of this country
to Africa. The letter was written
at a time when was
gusted said disgust
arising from having been recent-
beaten for the Senate. Now
wishes that he had burn-
ed that letter- is also ex-
distasteful to
Republicans, whom he has over
and over again denounced in
mannerly terms- Altogether it
is believed by many Republicans
that unless he is withdrawn from
the canvass he will do his party
far more harm than
Dispatch.
The Danville Times echoes a
note of warning which can not be
too often sounded when it
Too many com-

worst consequence will follow.
Tho Northern States are in a groat

A SERMON FOR BOYS.
We see two boys standing side
by side. Both are intelligent-look-
and kind-looking; but one be-
comes an idle, shiftless fellow, and
the other an influential and useful
man. Perhaps when they were

Some Leguminous
Crops and their Economic Value.
These crops have especial value
use they take out that valuable
gas from the atmosphere
and store it up in their roots to be
in their growth, and for future

nitrogen in a fertilizer it costs us about
cents a pound it is needed by
nearly all crops. These crops get this
material for nothing. All good farmers
should therefore be sure to utilize these
natural benefactors, for they are
of great value to mankind. The

best of these crops. Chapters are de-
