Cotton Manufactures In the South.

The report of the president of the
Eagle and Phoenix Manufacturing
Company of Columbus shows an en-
inently satisfactory condition of af-
fairs. The total investment of the
company is now 81, 1925, 722.14. Last
year they made $54 ,446.36, declared
$4,000 in dividends, credited $685.
1867 to the machinery account, and
passed to the reserve fund $4,000.
DR.. n. j. Bussey. who is the head of
the company, gives this account in a
letter to a Texas friend, of the work
in his well equipped No. mill,
built in 1877. He says: "In 1880 our
new mill consumed 100000 pounds
of cotton. The cost for all labor,
from cotton in the bale to yarn ready
for shipment, with average numbers
of yarn, No. 16, was 10Y cents per
pound. The cost of shipping this
yarn from Columbus to Philadelphia
is 30 cents per 100 pounds-or, half a
cent per pound. We could, therefore,
lay this yarn down in Philadelphia
at 1.67 cents per pound-not figur-
ing cost for waste i'll manufacturing,
or general incidental expenses,
which would be about the same both
North and South. 1t cost 1.96 cts. per
pound to lay cotton down in Lowell,
from Columbus, more than the cot
ton cost us at the mills. Figures are
very simple to show that on this
cost of manufacturing. the entire
product of our new mill could be
made into yarn and placed in Phila-
delphia ready for sale for $4,000
less than the raw cotton would cost
at mill in Lowell before it is COM
menced to be manufactured. | will
enter into no argument to answer
statements made by Northern pro-
fessional writers who decry our adj
vantages. No argument is neces-
sary to sustain established facts, as
these are. You wish to know
the condition of our operatives
now and previous to employ
ment. Our operatives are all native
whites. Before our mills employed
them they were either without en-
plOyment, or their labor was in COM
petition with the other labor of the
country. This was the general con-
.dition, with only special exceptions.
About 400 of our operatives are
females. and without employment in
the mills there are few places open
to them. They gladly avail them
selves of opportunities given for en-
ployment in the mills, and the sup
ply is very abundant. If our mills
employed 5000 instead 1900 hands,
there would be no difficulty to Sc
cure them. No effortis necessary to
induce them to work. They flock to
our mills whenever they are wanted.
They are intelligent and very prof.
cient, and more desirable than the
average operator at the North. La
Dor leagues, short hour strikes, and
all the attendant evils so common in
both New and Old England, are IN
known here, and will long remain
so."-NeaO York Cotton.

A special to the Erpcsss, from Da la S

prietress of house of ill-fame proved to

patents to lands In nearly every county OF
Texas, and n number of powers of attor-

He was member of the military, and
of course visited Galveston to participate
in the Mardi-Gras festivities. On reach
ing the city he repaired to the fremont.
and feeling dusty and worn out with his
long. weary ride, concluded to brush up
and put on clean collar, etc. He asked
the immaculate clerk who presided over
the destinies of Mardi-Gras visitors and
assigned them to their respective rooms.
If he could get room in which to wash
and overhaul his toilet. A room was selec-
led, and the clerk, beaming with deep ad-
miration upon the soldierly-looking young
man, directed him where TO go. He was
pointed to the elevator, and stepping in

he was comfortably inside the room as
signed TO him. he commenced to dis
robe. and had just succeeded and was
looking round for soap and water
when the elevator suddenly started
on its upward trip. The young man,
never experiencing anything of the
Kind before, was startled, and hurriedly
throwing open the door jumped
from the elevator and landed in the hall.
to the very great astonishment of the
walters and others who were near by
He was in deshabille, and TO make matters
more unpleasant, the elevator had glided
out of reach and the conductor tickled
half to death forget to lower it. Expla-
nations were made and a couple of UNI
brellas procured and held over the young
man to hide HIM from view until the eleva-
tor was lowered. He stepped in .donned his
clothes, and mentally swore never to get
inside an elevator again. 1t is said the
umbrella scene in the hall wasvery solemn
and impressive.

That Railroad Connection.


Grading on the Missouri Pacific Rail-
way has commenced near Waco and will
be pushed rapidly IN the direction of
Hillsboro. The city council of Waco, with
commendable zeal and enterprise, held n
call meeting Monday last and granted the
company right-of-way through the city.
1t was different with the city fathers of
this blessed city. Some time ago the Cen
trail and International railway companies
In order to divert trade and travel from
the Sunset route, determined TO form n
connection here in this city and build a
union depot. They asked permission of
the city fathers to lay their track through
the stteets, and not doubling for a moment
any difficulty about a matter of so much
Importance to the city and her business
men, the Central road Immediate
ly secured the services of Mr..
Everett who was instructed to purchase
certain property through which to run
their line. He did so and paid cash for
several lots on Cedar street, but il seems
the company was little too previous,
and most too hurriedly took time by the
forelock, and time with the cheerful as
sistance of the musty but amiable
city fatlars got away with them.
The night arrived when the question was
to be considered, and the venerable city
fathers with that impressive solemnity
that ever hovers around them when in
dignified session called up the matter and
gave it their most earnest attention. 1t
was too much for them. The idea that a

millions of dollars having to appear be-
fore them in the attitude of a supphant

too much for the average city dad of this,
the capital city, and he was ut once filed
with pride and virtuous self-importance.
The wants, the wishes and all the de-
tails OF the proposed connection was
fully set out by the railroad company, but
the ordinary aldermanic vision before
which cocktails, mask battery punches
and soup, to say nothing of future may
orship probabilities, ever float could not
see them, and n committee was sent out
on a voyage OF discovery with Instruc-
tons to make explorations, and report
as soon as possible.
They did so and taking the proposition
of the railroad and adding condition to
it that any reasonable man, save he be an
alderman, could see at glance
no railroad comany, private corpora
iion or individual would accept
for n moment. framed an ordinance grant
ing the company right-of-way through
the city. The exploring party did
this and the city council not know
ing what in the mischief else to do concur
red and the ordinance was adopted. The
company rejected 1t as every sensible
man in the city expected. The result is
that the Central and International. so we
are informed, will build depots and form
n connection at Hearne, and all the bene-
fits of travel and business, that ever con-
gregates around junction of two great
railways, will be resped by the above
place. 1t Is also said that the Cuero road
will make its connection with the Inter
national ut Kyle, and there are brilliant
prospects ahead for this blessed city to
become n way station
