SOUTH’S COTTON CONSUMP
TION.
The annual report issued by the
Financial Chronicle of the cotton
season ending August 30th em
braces an interesting showing of
the south’s progress in converting
the raw material into the manu
factured product.
During the season of 1898-99 the
northern mills took 2,247,092 bales
while the takings for 1899-1900
were 2,192,671, a decrease of 54,421
bales. On the other hand the sou
thern mills in 1898-99 took 1,400,-
026, and in 1899-1900 they took
L 599.947 bales, an increase of 199,-
021 bales.
As the northern mills led their
southern competitors during the
season just closed by only 592,724
bales, it is apparent that at the
present rate of increase in southern
mill consumption, it will be only
a few years before the southern
mills will be consuming much the
larger proportion of the crop. This
is, indeed, quite assured by the
fact that during the past season
the northern mills added only 100,-
000 spindles, whereas the gain at
the south has been 552,780 spin
dles, or nearly six times more than
in the north. This evidence of the
south’s extraordinary industrial
progress is something we may all
contemplate with pride. And the
more of these mills they are close
to the cotton fields, the better for
the farmer, who is enabled as he
is now’ doing to drive his wagon, as
it w r ere, to the door of the nearest
mill and receive a spot price of
over ten cents a pound. This lo
cal demand was a very serious mat
ter to the buyers for foreign houses
last season. For • a long period
they could not get into the market
at all at figures their foreign prin
ciples regarded as reasonable.
They were forced to face prices to
a large degree affected by the sou
thern mill demand—the foreigners
refusing to recognize the actual
shortage of the crop, while the
southern spinners admitted it and
bought accordingly.
It has not been definitely ascer
tained whether or not the accep
tances of all the presidental candi
dates are in.
Carl Schurz has declared for
Bryan. For nearly fifty years this
man has been an American eitizen,
and for more than forty years he
has been a mighty force in Amer
ican politics. He is the greatest
of the independents, and has been
one of the best abused men our
country has ever known. He is
the ablest and most accomplished
of the doctrinaires, and would go
without bread rather than take
half a loaf. He w r as a revolution
ist in Prussia, and his early career
is full of interest and romance. He
is a journalist, orator, statesman,
sage. He was a soldier, and did
his best.

In reply to the inquiry as to
military services of Capt. Barnett,
of Virginia, during the revolution’
I learn that a number of persons
have been admitted to the Daugh
ters of American Revolution
through ancestors by the name of
Barnett Heitman’s. Historical Reg
ister page 76, gives the name of a
James Barnett, who was ensign in
the 6th Virginia, March 4th. 1776.
and 2d lieutenant January ist,i777;
retired September 14th, 1778. In
the Virginia Magazine of History
and Biography, volume 7, page 25,
appears the name of Capt. James
Barnett, of Amherst, Va., who
served in the Virginia militia. If
the lady will make fuller inquiry
to ascertain the Christian name of
her ancestor, his residence and
place of enlistment I may be able
to render her iurther service. Vir
ginia records are very hard to ob
tain, in fact, much difficulty is ex
perienced in getting necessary
proof of revolutionary service in
the south because of the neglect of
state records.

THOU SANDS LEAVE COA L MINES.
Great Struggle Beginsin Anthracite
Coal Region in Pennsylvania.
Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 17. —
The great strike of mine w orkers
in the anthratic coal fields of Penn
sylvania, which represent practi
cally the hard coal output of the
world, began today.
The hard coal region is divided
into four great distric s—theLack
awana, Wyoming, Lehigh and
Schuylkill. In the first two repre
senting nearly 90,000 men, the tie
up is practically complete, only one
mine, employing a few' hundred
men, being operated, and this the
strikers say they hope to close
soon. 111 the Lehigh region, the
situation is a stand-off, about 8,-
000 of the 16,000 mine employes
have quit work,principally because
the union has comparatively little
• strength in the Schuylkill region,
und the workmen there have no
decided grievance, as in other dis
tricts the strike was not general
among the upward of 50,000 men
employed. Indications tonight,
however, point to the closing to
morrow of some mines in the last
named district that operated today,
despite the assertions of the offic
ials of the Philadelphia and Read
ing Coal and Iron Company and
other companies operating in that
region that they will keep their
collieries in operation. Naturally)
the efforts of the strike leaders are
being to organize rhe men at work in
the Schuykill and Lehigh regions-
No violence worth mentioning
has marred the first day of the
struggle, Practically no P ro '
gramme has yet been made, m
spite of the efforts of some of the
clergy to bring about a settiemen
of the trouble through arbitration.
