Soaihern Cotton Manufacturer.

Fho Southern cotton manufacturers have
formed protective association for their
common benefit. During the last year the
cotton spinneB in the Southern States
have not been very prosperous, and few
Of the leading manufacturers united In
calling a meeting which was held at Az.
lAntA, Ga, last week, These gentlemen
thought that bad management and not
oyerproduction was the principal cause oil
the depression In their trade. When the
meeting took place permanent organlZl.
ton was effected, officers were chosen, and
and a committee was named 10 draw up a
report loi the information Of the cotton.
spinning trade In all the Southern States.
The report, which has since been circulated
through the mails, explains the evils thatare
70 be corrected, and the methods by
which the association hopes 10 make the
business Of cotton manufacture once more
a healthy and profitable industry In the
States In which cotton Is grown and those
adjoining them. The report says that the
mills, hitherto, have been carelessly man
aged, and that selling agents have reck.
lessly cut prices 10 suit themselves, and
