The South’s cotton crop this year will be worth from $450,- 000,000 to $500,000,000, against an average of $800,000,000 of late years, an increase of from $150,- 000,000 to $200,000,000. Includ ing the seed, the value of the •cotton crop will exceed $500,000,- 000. Southern mills will consume probably 1,750,000 bales, against 1,600,000 bales last year. This cotton, which will cost Southern mills about- $75,000,000 to $80,- 000,000, will in its manufactured shape bo worth more than $225,-. 000,000, thus ndding $150,000,000 in the process of manufacture. To this add an estimate of $100,- 000,000 as the value of cotton seed oil, hulls, etc., and it is found that- the cotton crop will this year yield to the South the following: Cotton and seed - $500,000,000 Added value of cot ton manufactured in South - - - 150,000,000 Value of oil and of hulls, cake, etc., for feeding - - 100,000,000 Total - - - $750,000,000 This is one of the many stories —this one being worth $750,000,- 000—forming the foundations for the South’s business structure.— Manufacturers’ Record. <■ President Kruger, of the late Transvaal Republic, lias fled to Europe to escape capture by the English forces.

The child labor bill was de feated in the House Tuesday by a vote of 104 to 50. This Legis lature evidently believes in let ting cotton factories come Sonth before attempting to regulate them.
