PICKINGs AND BoR1NGs.-We read
in the New Orleans Picayune, of the
Sd inst, a commercial statement of
the Cotton received up to that date
which closes a sort of annual statement
concerning that staple. And we must
acknowledge that we were shocked at
its perusal, and perhaps but few, ifany
of our poor planters have ever known
the real facts of their destitute situa-
ton and dependence on the Factors of
New Orleans. Certainly we never for
a moment imagined such dealings. The
Picayune, in the article alluded to
shows there were 100000 bales of
Cotton, and that the Cotton Factors
and Commission Merchants received
in addition to p per cent commission,
per cent brokerage, and other ficti-
tious items, amounting in all to at
least six dollars and fifty cents per
bale, the enormous amount of 1864
bales of Cotton, gathered from "pick-
ings, borings etc. taken from the plan
ter without consideration. Planters
and Cotton raisers of Rapides what
think you of this new tangled catapil.

leans in the counting room of your
merchantsq Can you believe that you
are thus wronged, where you look tc
for protection? 1t is a sad, palpablt
fact and we give it to you as officially
promulgated in the Picayune! Do YOU
not think it is properly named "pick.
ings and borings9" Ponder on this
fact and see if you too cannot form
"Granges" to meet and fight these
"pickings and boriDgs."

The SCIENCE OF ADVERTISING
Judicious advertising always pays.
If you have good thing advertise
it. Ifyou havn't don't.
Large type isn't necessary in ad-
vertising. Blind folks don't read
newspapers.
Don't be afraid to invest in prin-
ter's ink, lest your sands of life be
nearly run out.
Never run down your opponents
goods in public. Let him do his own
advertising.
Let your advertisements have some-
thing of the dash in them, without
great exaggeration.
You can't eat enough in one week to
last you whole year, and you can't
advertise on that plan either.
It's as true of advertising as of every
thing else in the world-if it is worth
doing at all, it is worth doing we'll.
Handbills and circulars are good of
their kind, but they cannot take the
place of newspaper advertisements.
No bell can ring SO loudly as q good
advertisement. People will believe
what they see rather than what they
hear.
Small advertisements, and plenty of
them, is a good rule. We were all

IreR IIrrLE Rock REPUBLICAN

EprreR IIrTLK Rock REPUBLICAN:
Your article this morning on "Our Manu-
featuring Interests was not satisfactory and
think the great trouble in the matter is the
people do not understand IT, ! would like to
ask who is Mr.. Callahan, and what Is his rec
ord on the successful management Of cotton
factories. that We should be asked TO give him
the use of $4,000 for three years. 1t seems
to me il we furnish ground power and build
lngs we can furnish spindles and success
ful man TO run them
Why should We spend five or six thousand
dollars for two or three lots in the city, when
We can get twelve lots on the Cairo and Full
ton railroad for nothing? where we can have
living water and "A side track. and tie chance
to buy the property surrounding cheap.w which
will give the operatives chance TO get
home? Who ever heard Of a cotton factory
being located in the business portion ofa city.
Cities build around the factories, but seldom
a factory located in city. When the people
see that such enterprises are so managed, of
course they are backward In coming forward
In taking stock. will venture to say that If
the board of directors will drop the name of
callahan, vacate their present location and
conclude to consider donations, as well as sub
scripti0ns, and will discard the idea OF old
machinery, the $4,000 additional, or 100000
original could be made up without difficulty.
do not think YOU can drive men with pen
ell to subscribe the stock. lfcotton factories
are such soarCes of wealth, the $50 900 men
should have the profits from the start.
LoNG ENOUGH.
Little Rock, after asking and accepting
propositions from 4. Nj. Callahan ofthi, place
to establish Cotton Mill at that city and af-
ter canvassing for subscription Of $4,000
and falling to obtain it, "A correspondent of
the Republican, rather sneeripgly asks "who
Is Mr.. Callahan" We can answer, that Mr..
Callahan is one of our best and most respect
ed citizens, whose word il as good AS his bond,
and who has managed successfully a Cotton
Mill in Van Buren,, for the past five or six
years, which we should very much regret to
see removed to Little Rock or any other
place. 1t comes, however, with very bad
grace. aftcr a three months canvass of this
Cotton Mill question, and n probable failure
of all efforts for its establishment at Little
Rock, that the question should new be asked,
"who i, Mr.. Callahan" SO far as Mr. Gala
han and his Mil is concerned, we are glad
that the project il a failure for we would not
like to lose him and his business from our
town,and feel almost sure in a pecuniary view,
he wonld do bctterin the end to remain where
he is better known, and his universal efforts
in all enterprises tor the benefit of the town
would be more fully appreciated We con
gratulate ourselves on the failure.
The entcrprI-n,g gentlemen at Little Rock,
who have taken hold Of this matter, deserve
better success, and the failure is not for the
want of hard aud active work on their part.
