OSCEOLA, ARKANSAS, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1S, $780,

The cotton growers who put up
the buildings would be entitled TO
stock IN the spinning null, and a
dividend thereon annually, to be
added to the profit above.
Where are the cotton spindles I
In Europe, cotton spindlcs. 10000

OF the G0,000,000 Great Britain
owns 100000 and the continent,
20,000,000, and of these Germany
and France own 100000 or one
half.
In spinning for very finc goods
and good domestic the product per
spindle varies very much, as fol,
lows:
United States, per spindles, 6Sl lbs
Germany, per spindle, SO lbs
France; per spindle, III lbs
Great Britain, per spindle, % lbs
The southern cotton mills,
per spindle, 100 lbs
The above statement sho ws that
our spindIes, when put up, will con-
sumo three times as much cotton as
the same number in France and
England.
With 100000 spindles IN the
cotton fields we could spin 2,OOO,.
600 of bales of cotton into yarn
from seed cotton. This would re-
quirc an average OF 200 mills to
each cotton state Of 5000 spindles /;
or 400 mills with 2500 spindes each.
The latter size might be best TO be.
gin with, and enlarge afterward.
Arkansas has twenty five cotton
counties. Then sixteen to the
county would give the number of
mills IN the state, omlttng fifty
counties of the state. Suppose the
planters begin and build houses for
the spindles, only five year, in
three years they would have the
number required for the county.
These mills after put into operation,

ners, of great value to them and the
country The profits then should
bc appropriated TO the extension
and improvement of the mills and
machinery, and erection of new
mills, until the COTTON STATES had
mills to spin 3,5O0,000 bales, being
the quantity we are compelled to
gin and bale and compress and sell
to go to Europe.
Why are we compelled to send IT
to Europ,? Because they have the
spindles and We have not. The
spindlcs are four thousand miles
from the cotton fields now, and we
the cotton growers, have it in our
power to put them up III the cotton
states, and spin the new cotton in
to thread and make bales of your
yarn worth from $50 to 500 a bale.

Cotton SpiHdiCs.
Editor Gazette

The south owns the greatest cot.
ton district in the world. The cot
ton climate Is fixture, and is i'm
movable. 1t is the basis of its fu.
ture wealth aud power. There are
10000 owners of cotton plantations
in ten states, composing our cotton
belt. They nave now AN income Of
5000, 600 of bales Of cotton worth
1925. 900 600 in its raw state, and
worth S450,00O,O00 spun into yarn.
The most important movement
for the south is for every planter in
it 70 turn their attention to the sub
ieet, and aid the removal of the
spindles to the cotton fields, and
spin the cotton into yarns and dou.
ble its value, and thereby double
his income.
What can the planters do in their
present condition
They can combine and put up
wooden buildings suitable for the
Clement attachment IN every state,
every county, every town and eve
ry township IN all the cotton states.
These buildings can be put up out
of the common lumber OF the coun-
try at Il cost OF $1,000 to $4,000. |
am informed that the buildings will
be accepted by the owners of the
card and spindles, and the neocssa-
ry machinery put into it at their
cost, and they will superintend the
operation and machinery and di-
vide the profits.
What else can the planters do ?
They can grow all the cotton the
mills can spin and deliver ii at the
mills at their cost. No capital will
be required by the mill to purcha o
cotton, which is the largest item ot
expenses in a spinning mill.
What else can the planters do Z
They can receive the yarn in bales
at the end of every month and pay
q or 3 cents pound tor spinning
it to the mill, which keeps them
in funds to pay operatives aud 9th
er expenses.
Bales of yarn. for domestic,
weighing 450 pounds, is and will be
worth from $50 to $50 Il bale. in
short-secd cotton enough to make
100 bales, when run through the
! Claimant attachment in tho cOtt IN
fields, is worth $4,000, aud the
planter has only paid $3.50 n bale
on it, and deduct from thats3 a ble
for ginning, and 1t leaves $1,000 q

OUR readers should carefully read

weigh it carefully. We believe in
progress-in everything calculated
to advance the material interests OF
the south and the adopting OF the
Clement Attachment throughout
the south, we believe would do
more towards relieving the south
from the oppressive policy of the
north in regard 10 the exchange Of
products, than anything we wot Of.
With these attachments connected
with every cotton gin in the south,

could snap their fingers at their
