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. the civil war the 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 steam gins- . 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. Great Old Man.

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. our Regular 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.

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. A Swindler on His Rounds. The Richmond Dispatch has a special telling of the operations of a swindler at Windsor. He was dressed the habiliments of a Roman Catholic priest, and came into town with a lot of patent medicine which he to give away, but he succeed- ed in getting about a hundred dollars from the audience which he promised be would return, but having secured what he could he struck his and left in a run- He victimized the people of Edenton out of and about at Plymouth. His name was not learned. No doubt this is the same fellow who several people in Greenville a few months ago. educated Japan In a mission school directed by Congregationalists. I 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 home, and I went to their home and lived for a little while to this country. My father thought I might better do so to get used to American food and learn to cat with a knife and fork and to wear the American dress, etc. No, I do not think it is so pretty as the Japanese dress, and the waists of your dresses I do not like. do not wear any corset, you know, with our Japanese dress, and we are so much more com- I all the time, especially in the summer. But the lower part of your dresses seems better to me; tho underwear and skirts of your dresses Hike; they easier to get about In. Oh, really, very much I like America, what of it I have seen.

Especially Do Red Wig Rejuvenate the Elderly Society Woman. Byzantium, Russia, and Egypt have all been in turn borrowed from by Sarah who Is as eager on pictures and sculptures at both salons as If she were not the hardest- worked actress In Europe, and never went to bed before two o'clock In the morning. She Is Rosicrucian In her hair, the shades of which vary to the prevailing Of her get-up. Of course, her locks are borrowed. 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 to fifty almost seem young. met the other day a leader of fashion who danced at the fancy ball given thirty-three years ago by Empress Eugenie in her In the Champs which was then known as the Hotel It was the fancy ball to which Princess Mathilde went as an Indian, wearing robe This fashionable person might have easily passed for being any age from thirty to She keeps a good fig- and bright eyes, and the snow of years is hidden by a red Truth.

There were four temporary columns for each span of the bridge, connected by light gird- The columns were hollow, three feet two Inches in diameter, and constructed of twenty-four rails arranged with the heads Inside. They were placed so as to break joints, odd lengths being used for this purpose at the top and bottom, and were bound together every five feet by flat iron bands. The lengths of rail were jointed by fish-plates, and as they were in any way they were laid In the main track after the bridge had been finished. i ii A FAIR JAPANESE.

Many barns that were cur- have been ruined by water rising in them and putting out the fires in the furnaces.

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.

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- over to this country, ate characters of all sorts ; and if it is not stopped soon, the very worst consequence will follow.

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 crops on the same soil. When we buy 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 clovers, cow peas, and soy bean are the best of these crops.

Few grasses can with crimson clover. Common rye. or even Italian rye grass may be sown with crimson clover when the design Is to cut for green food or hay. These can about keep pace with the clover. We would use one half bushel of rye one bushel Italian rye grass per acre with eight to twelve pounds of the seed. Clover finds Its own nitrogen by ex- traction from the atmosphere aided by- peculiar microbes of the soil hence only phosphates and potash, or lime to set these free in the soil would be needed. The needs of the particular soil should be consulted as to the element it lacks which is needed to produce a bountiful crop of clover. Hence trials of potash, and the two combined would e In order wherever it is desirable to use chemicals for this crop.
