|Capitallsts Should Build Cotton
Mills in the South.

Mills In CQ0 6Outus
The reasons for this are so patent
thatitis almost an idle waste OF
words to cite an argument in favor
of the proposition. In the midst OF
the most fertile regions throughout
all parts of the cotton growing
States there is sufliciency of un-
failing water supply, which can be
readily utilized to give motive
power to all the spindles and looms
that will be required to turn all
| their produce into cloth. On many
| of the streams in Mississippi, Ar
kansas, Tennessee, and Texas; the
Tsngipahoa in Louisiana; the War
riOr in Alabama; the Chattahoochee,
| in Georgia, and on. the splendid
mountain torrents of North and
South Carolina, thousands of mills
can be placed and operated SO
cheaply with indsgious motive-pow-
Ter and labor, that tAey can. turn the
staple into cloth and send it to the
Orient and Celestials at cheaper
prices than New England or Old
England could.ever possibly do.
Besides these inducements offer-
ed in this particular, there are many
others which invites capitalists to
operate in this field, with the most
positive assurances that they will
secure very profitable returns for
their investment. In the material
item of cheap labor and steady re-
liability of workman, facilities for
transportation, and conveniences
for shipping to the North or foreign
countries, many portions of the
South are extensively provided with
the necessary means.
Hence, there is positive guaran-
tee to capitalists that the will make
larger and more certain profits from
investments in mills that are loca-
ted where the staple grows than
they can possibly do in places far
away from the scene of production.
These truths have been made pal
pable by enriching those who have
been so fortunate as to occupy the
field in the South already, and their
success is melting many others to
similar ventures.
There is no excuse now for any
builders of cotton mills to waste
time and money in experiments, or
unnecessary display of fancy build
ings, for the business has become a
science, and experience has devel-
loped and produced means and ma
chinery whose quality and produc-
tion are positively determined and
can be relied on in making accurate
calculations of what the results of
their productions will amount to-

Mother.

Mid lifes emotions, dismal fears,
Mid cares and woes and floods of tears,
How sweetly breaks upon the ear
Some word of comfort or of cheer;
Yet, of our friends, there's not another
Who speaks as gently as our mother.
Here disappointments crowd each day,
Here brightest hopes soon fade away,
And friends long trusted oft deceive,
We scarcely know who to believe;
Yet, though we fear to trust each other,
We're not afraid to trust our mother.
Yet, here where there is so much deceit,
Some friends we have We love to meet.
There's love we know that will endure,
Not sordid, selfish, but all pure;
But though beloved by sister, brother,
There's none that loves us like our mother
Among the names to mortals given,
There's none like mother, home and heaven
For homes no home without her care,
And heaven, we know she will be there,
Then let us, while we love each other,
Remember and be kind to mother.

Some southern Investments.

Touching the enormous amount
of money now seeking southern i'm
yestment Gen. Logan, Of Virginia.
who was one of the pioneers in at
tracing capital southwark, said:
"About three years ago l went
into the first railroad movement
with which l was ever connected.
l had for a year been paying es-
pecial attention to railroad law, and
was called on for an opinion con-
corning bonds of the Petersburg
and Weldon road, . little branch
enterprise in which some Richmond
men have invested. l soon saw that
the safest course Of procedure was
to buy up certain bonds and !
thought could raise the money to
do so. 1t only required about $780,
900, and 1 went to New. York to see
about it. The bonds were offered
for SIS on the 800, and yet found
more trouble IN getting the money
to get them, SO great was the fear
and distrust that northern capital
had of southern investment, than l
found few weeks ago in raising
millions of dollars in New York
with which to organize the exten-
sion company that has the contract
for building the Georgia Pacific.
1t is very much easier now to raise
million dollars in New York for
southern investment than it was
three years ago to raise $5O,OOO.
Instead of the distrust and fear
that formerly existed there is now
actual eagerness to get southern in
vestment, the eagerness being bas-
ed on the belief that there is great
margin for development in the
South, and on the success that has
attended investments already made
there. To show you to what a low
pitch southern securities was re-
duced through the lack OF conf
dence among northern capitalists
and lack of money in the South, the
very bonds that went begging for
SIS three years ago, and that /
could hardly raise money to buy at
that figure. have since sold at q $3.50.
The South has needed capital wo-
fully, and has been calling for it for
years. At last it is coming, and
is coming IN by millions. If the
southern people will only meet it in
spirit of fairness, give it a hearty
welcome rather than distrust and
suspicion, and offer it fair chance
rather than prescribe and outlaw it,
there is q decade of development
and prosperity ahead Of the South
that she little dreams of. Capital
has been all that she needed, and
this she is now getting"

The Senatorial Fight.

Latest reports from Albany are 10
the effect that little progress is being
made in the election OF Conkling aud
Plat'ts successors. The general opinion
seems to be that no choice will be
made, and that the Legislature will
adjourn, thus placing the whole mat
ter before the people in the fall cam
paign.
Conkling said TO an intimate frie nd
al feel very sangnine rs to the result
of my fight. was never more hope
fui. I shall return to Albany the
moment my friends think my pres
ence- necessary, and remain there dur
ing the struggle"
One of the Stalwarts. who has been
managing the contest in Albany, and
who ought to know everything that
bears upon the contest, said to a
Times reporter "All the money in
New York will not defeat Conkling.
l know three half breeds who are
ready to go over TO him when their
votes will. elect him, and we have
only to secure six more votes to make
our success assured. I believe We
will get these six votes during the
coming week, and If we do, you will
see a stampede for Conkling which
will astonish you. II we don't get
them, the stalwarts will stand firm,
and there will be an adjournment
without an election. Gov. Cornell
will then call a special session of the
Legislature just before the election
next fall, and then if the half breeds
dare risk the success of the Republi
can party at the polls, they can carry
this question before the people and
continue the fight in a popular cleo
ton. On them will rest the odinm ol
turning the Republican State of New
York over to the Democrats. Reck
