Cotton Factories in the Fields.
ATLANTA Constitution.

The communication which we recently
published from Mr.. D. u. Sloan, of Nor
cross, in regard to the cotton factory at
Westminster, S. c., has attracted con-
siderable attention not only at the South,
but all through the North, and many
persons have visited the mill, whose tcs-
timony induces us to believe that the
people of the South now have the oppor-
tunity to take long step forward i'll the
direction of that prosperity, which must
spring from diversified industry Among
those who have recently visited the
South Carolina factory is Capt. Z. r.
Akers, of Lagrange, and in all article
printed in the Reporter OF that place he
confirms every statement Of the CORES
poudent of tue Constitution.
The machinery Of the mill is simp lie
and cheap, and by setting it up in the
| neighborhoods throughout the cotton
belt the value of the staple can be in
creased nearly 100 per cent, particularly
when we take into consideration the
amount of money saved on bagging,
ties, packing, weighing, storing and
shipping. The factory now in operation
at Westminster, ofwhich we shallspeak
more at length in another article, spins
the cotton direct from the seed by means
of machine known as the Clement at
tachment, and is run by seven women
and boy. Its capacity is between four
and five hundred pounds ofseed cot
ton per day, and the yarns manufac-
tured sell in New York at an average OF
164 cents. The cotton is taking from the
gin and brush on card and comes out
in roll, and New York dealers say
threads made by this process class a
great deal higher than threads made
from compressed cotton. Not a par
ticle of lint is left on the seed, as i'll the
ordinary gin.
We are inclined to believe that this
method of preparing the staple for mar
, ket solves the problem for the South. II
enables the planters of each neighbor
hood to add the industry of manufacture
ingEO the business of cotton raising, an(
at lproft that will more than justify thu
small investment to be made, and with
in the course of the next year or two
if we do not mistake the purpose and Ell
terprisc of our people, there will he a
least one hundred of these factories il
r opeiation in Georgia. Wherever Their
, is grist mill, planning mill or saw mill
yarn factory can be added without al
, increase of power, and at very littl
increase of cost.

Two tho usand two hundred votes were
cast on Saturday, the 4th inst, at the
primary election, to select the district
and parochial ticket. Over one thousand
Of these were cast by colored men who
pledged themselves to support the nom,
inees at the general election. We take
this as an evidence that the mass of oul
colored population are convinced that
Democratic government means protec
ton to the rights and liberties Of allmen
and the maintenance Of law and order
in the parish and State. Having hat
the privilege of voting for the men Of
their choice, we do not doubt that the,
will show themselves worthy ofthe con

RADICAL REJOICINGs.-On Thursday
evening, the news from Ohio and Iowa
stirred mp the enthusiasm of the Repub-
licans, SO that number Of them gave
vent to their joy by firing salute in
honor of the victory gained by their
Northern allies. These demonstrations
shonld serve as a warning to our people
that we must be united in the approach
ing campaign, in order to prevent, even
the possibility Of a return to radical mis-
rule in Louisiana.

TIE U. S. BARRACKs.-This valuable
property, belonging to the National Gov
eminent, we are sorry to say, is fast go
ing to decay. Tho troops have been
moved to other points, and though Ser
/geant Ferguson, U. S. A., the lone sol
der left in charge, does his utmost, rank
weeds are gaining possession Of the
beautiful grounds, and the handsome
buildings show that their neglect will
soon bring total ruin. We cannot un-
derstaud why such magnificent post
should thus be abandoned to the ravages
of time. Surely, there is not in thi:
country better appointed nor hand
somer military establishment than arr
the Baton Rouge Barracks.

SCOTT GoRDoN-Last Monday night,
while this well-knOwn colored Demo-

preceding n buckshot, which lodged it
self in SCOTS right forearm. 1t is be-
lieved that the shot came from toy
cannon that was fired off by some boys
across the street. The wound is very
slight, however, and will not prevent
Gordon from doing duty in the approach
ing campaign. The authorities have
been unable SO far to discover the per.
petratOrs of this accidental and very
reprehensible practice. The police have
been instructed to take the necessary
precautions against repetition.
