Thread Making,

The following, from the Americas,
Ga, Recorder, contains a significant
hint; eve have several times called
the attention of the business men Of
Americas to the profits derived from
manufacturing cotton into thread,
warp and Irvine, and urged them to
start mandatory in Americas for
that purpose. A little oser a year
ago such factory was started in
Cuthbert, and met with such success
that additional machinery had to be
ordered and is now being put in place.
To show what is being done by this
factory, we give the following item
from the Cuthbert Appeal: AS we
know of parties in neighboring
town who are watching the Cuthbert
factory, and figuring upon its invest.
ment and returns with view of starr
Ting one in their own town, we will
state that Mr.. G. n. Simpson, sec
rotary of the factory, received orders
on Tuesday last for more thread than
the factory can make tn the next six
months. These orders came by tele-
graph and mail for hundreds of bales.
One hundred thousand spindles, run
night and day, could not keep up with
the orders received. The factory is on
grand boom, and will continue to be.
The additional machinery is now at
the depot, and is fast being put in po-
sition.

The Democrat, Of Carrollton, Mo-,

few feet along the line of grain ready
to seize an armful as it fell from the
reaper, and to rush with it to the
thresher close by. The mill was just

The Holyoke (Mass. Manufacturer
says: All over the South the tone of
the newspapers denotes that a great
industrial change is coming over that
part of the country. Indeed, it must
be apparent to every one that it only
needs discovery of the South's natu.
raj advantages in cheap production to
start this change with great force.
Good profits will attract capital, if it
be on the other side of the globe.
The growth of the iron industry in
Alabama exemplifes this. Furnaces
have sprung up rapidly there within a
few years on account of the cheapn ess
with which iron can be made. A
leading furnace man from that State
said that his works were steadily pro-
ducing iron at So per ton, and that
there were plenty more doing it at the
same price. His coal, he said, need
not cost him above S1.05 per ton, his
limestone So cents and his iron ore
not much more than his coal. Penn
sylvania manufacturers asserted before
the tariff commission that they cannot
make iron for less than SIS. The
highest cost of producing iron in the
South is stated not to be as much as
S13 at any place. When the South
begins to produce more iron than she
needs for her own consumption, then
the Northern manufacturers will
forget all about England and will try
to devise some means to be protecte d
against Southern iron manufacturers,
as the New England cotton manufac,
turers have endeavored to do against
their competitors in the South.

A Lynnvile correspondent of the
Columbia Democrat says: "There
has been something tested here that
has been argued for some time, that
is, that hog will weigh more after
it has been killed than while alive.
MIR. Gray, a grocer at this place,
bought hog that weighed. on foot,
1870 pounds; after it was killed and
bled freely it weighed, on the same
scales, 200 pounds. Can some of our
scientists explain ?"
