$9O8, 4O1 81, and their sales
have amounted to $5,179,612-
SO. The net earnings we're
$79O,5O0 SO, and the dividends
paid amounted to 100000.
These figures indicate a remark
ably profitable business. The
profits, moreover, did not impov-
erish the city of Augusta. The
community in which the mills
stand, on the contrary, was greatly
benefited by its presence. The
great prosperity of the business is
due to the fact that the cotton was
procured from neighboring cotton
fields, thereby saving the cost of
transportation which our northern
manufacturers are forced to add
to the cost Of the products Of their
mills, while the finished article
was sold in a market whose prices
are adjusted to cover this additi-
onal and unnecessary expense.
According to the Chronicle the
simple cost of transportation alone
costs the Lowell manufacturer
nine dollars and sixty cents a bale,
or, reckoning in the cost to the
Augusta manufacturer Of bring
ing his goods to the city, there is
a net difference in favor of the
Augusta mill Of Sc 81. Apply
this to the western markets, and
the net difference in favor Of the
Augusta manufacturer is $40 90.
In the first case the advantage to
the southern mill amounts to
nearly seven per centum, and in
the second to more than ten per
centum.
These figures, to which others
of the same purport might be ad.
ded, are more eloquent than words.
They appeal with particular force
to two classes Of people. To
Southern citizens they are a direct
argument to build up manufactur.
ing establishments. To northern
artisans, with or without capital,
they point out field for their
skill and industry such as cannot
be found in this part Of the
Union.-[N. Y. Post.

DISCOURAGING.-The Cou>
shatta Citizen gives the follow
ing discouraging view of the
agricultural situation in that
locality, which, indeed, may
apply to many other portions
of the South:
The cotton crop throughout
Red River parish, as a general
thing, will fall far short of pre-
vious calculations. Unfavor>
able spring and summer, de-
struction by caterpillar, the ex-
tremely sickly season and the
numerous heavy rains since
picking commenced, have ope-
rated terribly against the peo>
pie in their efforts to raise and
gather the present crop. tire
ally does seem that they have
struggled against more disas-
ters, undergone greater hard
ships, and lived harder and had
less credit this year than ever
before. But in spite of their
efforts to make ends meet, the
large majority OF the agricul-
tural class will fall far short of
the demands upon them for
supplies, ETC., furnished them
by their merchants to aid them
in raising their crops. And the
great trouble is that after they
have exhausted their produce
especially their cotton, they
will have no means with which
to purchase supplies another
year.
Four-fifths of them have
made scarcely corn enough to
do them, and nineteen-twenti-
eths of them have not raised a
single hog, and will not be able
to put up a single pound OF
meat. Now, the question is,
what are they to do7 Our mer-
chants here have already closed
down on the credit system, and
if they furnish anything on
time to a farmer another year,
they will not feel safe in doing
so until late in the spring, when
they can see what will be the
prospects of another crop.

Enulish Immigrants.

The recent announcement IL the
London Tin Is that ten thousand
English families will migrate to
this country in the spring has set
the leading men OF Virginia to
work to secure to their state a
share of the immigration of which
this is supposed to be the precnr-
sor. II English agricultural la
borers on the advice Of Joseph
Arch are about to remove to this
country to better their. condition,
they will probably come in colo
MES, purchase large tracts Of land
and form communities. They will
be valuable acquisition to any
state, and if any considerable
number of miners and artisans
come with them, they would find
an inviting field in Virginia or
Missouri. A good many of the
new immigrants will,it is thought,
settle in Virginia, but many other i
will come farther west, and not a
few, We may presume, will find a
hating place in our state.-St.

Cotton Manufacturing in the South
ern States.

1910 the WnOle numUef OF
manufacturing establishments
for cotton goods iu all the
Southern States where cotton
is grown is one hundred and
forty. The whole number of
similar establishments in the
Northern states Of Connecti>
cut, Maine, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island ond Vermont is seven
hundred and tifty-four. The
reason Of this separation OF the
mills for the manufacture of
cotton from the place where
cotton is produced is a purely
artificial one, growing ont of
the system Of slavery and fos>
tered by the social condition in
which the Southern states were
left by the destruction Of that
system.
There has been a too CON-
mon tendency on the part of
the Southern people, aided, it
is true, by politicians from
other parts of the country, to
regard the political recovery of
their states as of greater im-
portance than their social and
industrial reformation. This is
putting the cart before the
horse. The social condition
under which the people habitu-
ally live, and the occupations
in which they busy themselves,
are OF the most Importance 10
themselves and to their neigh>
bors. Their political institu-
tons rest upon their social and
industrial institutions. Not
only do the latter support the
former as a foundation wall
supports the building which
stands upon it, but the relation
is more intimate. Our political
institutions take form and color
ftom the ordinary personal life
and vocation of the citizen.
The political state is the legiti-
mate and inevitable product OF
the home.
The true friends of the
Southern states, therefore, res
gard their social and industrial
growth as of paramount impor-
lance. We have already given
in these columns some facts re-
lating to the business of manu-
featuring cotton in the states
where the cotton grows. The
Chronicle, printed at Augusta
Georgia, furnishes us with some
new facts. The Augusta fac
tory" a cotton mill situated in
the city of Augusta, was pur-
chased by the present company
for $4,000, on ten years
credit, at seven per centum in
terest, the stockholders paying
in 100000 as commercial CAPT.
tai. This amount was nearly
all expended in putting the es,
tablishment into a working con-
dition and improving it. Since
then, without calling on the
stockholders for another dollar,
the property has been paid for,
additional land has been pur>
chased and new buildings have
been put up, 100000 worth

SENSIBLE REMARKS BY AsENsI-

SENSIBLE REMARKS BY AsENsI-
BILE KENTUCKY EDITOR.
That portion devoted to
country journalism is very good
SO far as it goes, but then it
stops short of the sore that
works more harm to and crip>
pies and ultimately kills more
country papers than all othe,
causes combined. Our expert
ence has been long and varied,
and what we have to say about
country newspaper publishing
is based upon knowledge dearly
bought by years of hard and
thankless toll and no little wor-
ry OF body and mind and vex~
alton OF spirit.
The greatest enemies to sue
cess in conducting a country
paper are the credit system and
gratuitous advertising or puff
fng."
The dues ofthe country pubs
Usher are necessarily small. If
be credits a couple Of dollars
here to A, and a couple Of dol~
lars there to B, and so on
through the alphabet of subs
scription, these credits will
amount to a handsome sum in
the aggregate, Of which a fear
fully large per cent. invariably
proves to be a total loss.
The publisher who will credit
subscriptions, transient adver>
Using and job work, knowing
that he is compelled to pay
cash for his material, has no
right to complain that bis busi>
ness does not pay, and of all
men has less cause to he aston
ished at the necessity that CON-
pels the suspension Of his
paper.
Another thing to avoid {:
Gratuitous work for party or
candidates. They have no
right to expect it. Office is in
separately connected with SAL
airy. And the salary is what
nine out of ten candidates are
after. The candidate has as
much right to expect his tailor
to keep him in clothing with>
out charge as to expect his pube
Usher to devote his paper to his
glorification before the people
without any pay therefor.
Make the politicians pay the
same as other advertisers; anC
never allow a line of "puff' to
appear in your paper without
pay. Your merchant or grocer
does not expect to supply your
family from their stores with-
out pay, and they have no
right to expectyou to advertise
for them without remuneration.
Selling goods or groceries is
their mode of making a living.
They cannot give their goods
away without loss, and you
cannot give away space in your
paper without loss. That which
will beggar them will beggar
you. That's the whole truth
of it.
In the days when we used to
devote column after column to
the business of elevating Tom,
DICK and Harry to office simply
because they belonged to our
party, and never dreamed of
asking a cent Of pat for our
services (; so long as we filled
our papers with puffs on This,
That and the Other, because
they were good, clever fellows,
and did ittor nothing,we found
it the hardest matter in the
world to get along. But, since
we turned over a new leaf, aud
made a real business ofpublish-
ing a paper, just as Tom, Dick
and Harry make a BUSINESS Of
running for Office for the em>
Oulments, and This, That and
