The Baltimore journal of Com
merce" in its issue of September Cd,
publishes valuable statistical paper
on the subject of cotton manufactur-
ing in the South. Georgia leads the
van with $4,000, 900 invested in cot
ton mills. The Journal of Commerce
says: "While cotton manufacturing
in the South is now attracting so
much attention, it is quite certain
that it will develop still greater inter
est in the near future. There are even
now many new projects under way
will which doubtless result in adding
large number of new mills to the 252
already in operation, SO that within a
comparatively few years we think it
perfectly safe to say that the South
will have 800, OOO,OOO invested in
cotton mills, with $500, 600 spindles
and fully 100000 operatives, and in
the not very distant future even these
figures will be surpassed.
