Learning that cotton grown in In
dia was being offered freely to all
the American mills and that’ one of
the representatives was in town sev
eral days ago *and sold some of this
cotton to the Trion Mfg Co., thought
it would be of interest to investigate
this cotton. About fifty thousand
bales of last year’s crop has now
been sold to the Southern mills. The
hew crop Will be open for sale in Jan
uary and it is estimated at 5 1-2 mil
lion bales. This cotton’s staple is
hot quite so long as the American
button but the individual fibre is
Courser and stronger. It has more
of a woolly appearance, but a good
color and for napping in cotton flan
nels and cotton blankets it is supe
rior to our American cotton.

SOUTH’S CROP VALUE

Prominent Southerners Discuss Sub

States.
Washington, Dec. 7—The second
day’s session of the Southern Com
mercial congress began at 11 o’clock
this morning, with Harvie Jordon, of
Atlanta, Ga., in the chair.
Among the large gathering were
many delegates to the National Riv
ers and Harbors congress, which is
to begin its sixth annual meeting
here tomorrow.
G. W. Koiner, commissioner of
agri dture of Virginia, spoke on
“N i Agricultural Opportuni
tie: ;■ t* South." Mr. Koiner said
in part:
“Ti..- greatest need in the agricul-
ture in the South today is better
farming. The opportunity to do bet
ter' farming is ever present all over
the Southland. Many of the South
ern farmers are doing better farm
ing now than they have ever done be
j fore. The value of the crops grown
in the South during the past twenty
years has Increased from $675,000,000
to $2,500,000,000, and her mineral
output has increased from $15,000,000
to $300,000,000. But by doing better
farming these values will be doubled
!in the future in a much shorter
time than the uninformed about the
resources of the South would suppose
“Seventy- five percent of the pop
ulation in the South are farmers.
Each farmer is feeding himself and
three osiers, and under present con
ditions ho will be called upon to feed
more. Better farming must feed the
ever increasing population.”
General Julian S. Carr, of Dur
ham, N. C., spoke on “Manufact
uring Opportunities in the South.”
General Carr contented that the field
, of manufacturing opportunities in
the South had been barely scratched.
While comparatively a great deal has
been accomplished,” he said, “the
total achievement might be faintly
imagined for the future in view of
the fact that within the last 30 years
the value of the products of South
ern manufacturers hafc risen from
$347,000,000 to $2,600,000,000.”

SUMMARY OF THE
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
Washington, Dec. 7. —Opposition to
the proposed immediate congression
al investigation of the sugar import
scandals in the New York customs
house and likewise to any further re
j vision of the tariff at present, ab
j sconce of any specific recommends
’ tion regarding the crisis in Nicaragua.
I and actual recommendation of legisla
-1 tion to forbid the issuance of judicial
I injunction without, notice in labor con
i troversies, and for the establishment.
, of a system of postal savings banks,,
may be considered the most striking
features of the first annual message
of President Taft to congress.
The Nicaraguan question, conserv
ation of the nation’s natural re
sources, needed amendments to the
anti-trust and interstate commerce acf
and the contemplated revision of the
federal statutes governing the or
ganization of the armed forces of flto
nation in time of war are all re
served for possible treatment later in)
special messages.
In his message, which bulks some
17,000 words, Mr. Taft reports the
country to be “in a high state of
prosperity,” and he adds that there
is every reason to believe that we
are on the eve of a substantial bus
iness expansion and we have just gar
nered a harvest unexampled in the
market value of our agricultural prod
ucts.”
The president expresses entire con
fidence that the duty imposed upon
the executive of enforcing the maxi
mum rates of the tariff law against
nations unduly discriminating against
the United States will ‘ not provoke
any tariff war, and he favors no
further tariff tinkering, at least un
til the new tariff commission shall
have completed its work of gathering
information as to the relative cost of
producing dutiable articles in this’
country and abroad. This task, ho ex
pects, will occupy two or three years
Projects recommended by the pres
ident in addition to those mentioned
above, include.
A ship subsidy to encourage Amer
ican shipping.
Publicity of campaign contributions
in election of members of congress.
Civil pensions.
A larger rate of postage on period
icals and magazines.
A fund of $50,000 to aid in sup
pressing Jhe “white slave” trade.
A commission to evolve a plan to
expidiate legal procedure and mitigate
, the “laws delay.”
Construction of an artificial island
and fortification in the entrance to
Cheasepeake bay, two battleships and
one repair ship for the navy and tho
, establishment of an extensive naval
, base at Pearl Island, I lai wall.
A national bureau of health.
Statehood for New Mexico and Ari
. zona, and an appointive governor
and executive council for Alaska.
Civil control of the lighthouse
board and separation of the national
astronomical observatory from naval
control.
Celebration in 1913 of the semicen-
R tennial of negro emancipation and
H reinbursement of the depositors of
t the defunct Freedman Trust and .Sav
ings company.
I, Consolidation of the buraus of man
ufactures and statistics in the de
partment of commerce and labor.
s ( Jailing attention to the crisis in
Central American affairs brought
, about by the summary execution in
f Nicaragua of two Americans, the
, president announces that this govern
( ' ment has terminated diplomatic rela
, | tions with the Zelayan administra
j tion in Nicaragua, and intends to
; take such further steps as may bo
. I found most “consistent with its dig
nity, its duty to American interests
f | and its moral obligations to Central
America and civilization.”
In opposing any immediate investi
, ■ gation of the New York custom house
scandal, the president takes the
ground that such investigation “might
by giving immunity and otherwise,
prove an embarassment in securing
conviction of the guilty parties."
A proposal submitted by the secre
tary of the treasury that the execu
tive department’s deficit for the cur
rent fiscal year, estimated at $73,075,-
620, be met by the issuance of Pana
. ma bonds, authorized by congress, is
. approved by the president. He ex
. plains that in order to avoid a de
, ficit for the ensuing fiscal year end-
I ing June 30, 1911, estimates had been
cut to the bone and instead of a de
ficit there will be a surplus of $35,-
, 931,000, excluding payments on the
Panama canal, which are expected to
1 be taken care of by bonds.
