Landowners south,


F~lttsDurgh P0st.l
Landownership at the South, espe
cially Of the valuable land in the cot
ton belt, is following the rule of the
day in all important fields of human
activity. That is, the tendency is
towards consolidation and monopoly;
the driving out of small operators and
the concentration Of business and
capital in a few hands. This has long
been apparent in the manufacturing
and great transportation enterprises.
and at last it has entered the field of
agriculture. Land monopoly in the
South and West is about as pro-
nounced and promises in time to be
as sweeping as railroad monopoly.
After the civil war, the impoverished
planters of the South, lacking the
labor and means TO manage their great
plantations, divided them up into
small farms and rented them out on
shares to those who would work them.
The system was not a good one, but it
was perhaps the best that could be
adopted under the circumstances. 1t
worked so badly in many cases, owing
to the fact hal the tenants were as
poor or poorer'than the landowners,
that the latter resumed the cultivation
Of the plantations on their owa ac-
count, and, as confidence in the future
increased, fell back upon the per-
n%icious custom OF obtaining advances
of money, provisions and fertilizers on
mortgages of their lands and liens on
their crops. The result in not a few
instances was what might have been
fOreseen. A writer in the New York
World, who has studied the subject in
several OF the Southern States, thus
recounts what has occurred:
As the process of division has gone on
a counter process Of absorption has begun.
The career Of Mr.. Richardson, o fJackson,
| Miss the most extensive cotton planter in
the world except the Khedive Of Egypt,
will illustrate this tendency. AT the
close Of the war he was not a planter, but
a commission merchant His mortgages
continued 10 bscome lands until now he
owns and cultivates nineteen plantations,
which are enumerated as nineteen farms,
and not as one. Yet he produces more
cotton and employs more laborers than
any slave holder ever did. There are
other cases Of 1.-THE same kind. AT places
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1882-01-12

along the E.sdssippi river many Jews
nom 9 starting point Of cheap clothing,
have become wealthy landholders. In
Georgia h swallowing en- of estates by
commission merchants has been so great
that the cries OF alarm have recently been
frequent. Timber companies, railroad
companies and Spectators are buying
large tracts of land in Mississippi. Ala.
bama and Georgia, and the tendency to-
ward a consolidation of small farms is
general.
These changes of OWNERSHIP indicate
that large bodies of Southern land are
passing out of the possession of their
old owners into the hands Of new men,
or are being swallowed up by great cor
porations. Thus the policy Of absorp-
tion and consolidation is slowly making
its wsyin agriculture or in other enter
prises. The case of Richardson, the
great cotton planter of Mississippi has
its parallel in the Glenn wheat farm in
California and the Dalrymple and
other farms in Dakota. Large capital
invested in systematic agriculture,
especially in the production Of such
as wheat directed with skill
and judgment, makes big returns.
There may be matter for alarm in this
tendency to land monopoly, but we do
not see how it can be helped. 1t re-
suits from individual enterprise, am
and capacity, and these are
qualities that cannot be fettered.

Sale of the StansbuFy Cotton
Mills i'm Carroll County, Miss,

Sale of the Stansbury Cotton
Mills In Carroll County, Miss.
Jackson Comet
Colonel Walter S. Gordon, of Ala
bama, one of the projectors of the
Georgia Pacific railroad, has purchased
the Stansbury Cotton Mills, located at
Carrollton, Miss. The papers were all
signed at Carrollton on Wednesday,
the 4th instant, and Colonel Gordon
paid the purchase money cash.
We have not learned the price paid,
but we know that Colonel Gordon has
purchased one Of the most valuable
pieces Of property in the South The
building is a magnificent brick struc.
ture, built upon the modern plan, and
it is said that if the machinery was
moved out a regiment of we'll drilled
men could be drilled in the main room.
There are two powerful Corlis engines
and a large lot of machinery in the
building. The building and machinery
originally cost $2l0, 600.
We learn it is the intention of Colo
mel Gordon to purchase a large amount
of machinery, and run the factory to
its full capacity. 1t should prove a
mint, as it is located near the healthy
town Of Oarrollton, on the hills within
a few miles Of the Yazoo delta, where
cotton is made cheaper and can be
purchased cheaper than in any section
of the country, The Georgia Pacific
railroad will run almost by its doors,
and will give competition in freights.
The cotton mills in Mississippi have
proved bonanzas for the owners. The
one at WessOn pays rs per cent aivi-
dends, and the stock is worth over 100.
Those at Enterprise and Natchez are
said to pay as we'll. The cotton fac
tories Of Georgia and Alabama are
immensely profitable, and the stock in
them, as almost a universal rule, is
away above par. This is not I'M
natural, either-where the cotton is
produced is the proper place to
manufacture it. Enough cotton is
made neal Carrollton to supply
the Stansbury Mills, and sales for
the manufactured fabrics can be made
without going out of the State. We
wish, as we predict, for Colonel Gordon,
great success in this, his new enter
prise. He is brother Of ex-senator
John B. Gordon, of Georgia, and Of
Major Eugene Co. ordon,o o Columbus,
Miss. These three brothers have been
wonderfully successful in all their
undertakings, and we are glad that
this section Of country is attracting
their attention. Let our Legislature
do all in their power to encourage
manufacturing. The Stansbury Mills
will be hereafter known as the Gordon
Cotton Mills.

The only reasonable answer would be
that the act must be repealed
