The Philadelphia Record says: E. II.
Coates q o., Of this city, are about to
erect cotton spinning factory In Au-
gusta, Ca, with q capacity Of 10, ,O0O
spindles, which will be cempleted this
winter. This 10 practically q removal
OF . portion Of the firms enterprise
from this city, which has been de.
termtned upon because OF the cheap
ness Of labor aud of motive power In
the Southern city. A member of the
arm said yesterday that IL was no indi-
cation ofa general movement OF indus
trial enterprise South, because there
were special reasons In this particular
case. The very low wages paid In the
South is, he said, however, . matter OF
considerable importance. In the South
days work means twelve hours, and
the labor on q "cut" OF forty picks
costs there 10 cents, 30 against 90 cents
In this city.
He did not think that capital was
particularly seeking Investments In
manufacturing interests In the South
now, and rs o matter of fact more mills
were being started In New England
than anywhere else In proportion.
There is 10 per cent. more capital being
Invested in cotton and wooden mills In
the New England States than In any
other section Of the country. None but
white labor 10 employed In the mills In
the South, but the operatives are very
frugal-living In many instances on
cornmeal cakes and oil-and they work
for surprisingly low wages. There is
little. II any, advantage In being near.
ar the raw material, because the manu.
facturer is thereby further from the
market for his goods. The only advan-
tages which the South possesses are the
cheapness Of labor and the fact that
strikes are not rs yet in vogue there.

Claim for Damages.

In 1881, the charter of the Delaware
Western Railroad was purchased by
the Baltimore q Ohio Company, and
the name changed to the Baltimore &,
Philadelphia Railroad. The B. & o
Com, then went to the. Legislature and
succeeded In having the charter amend
ed, 30 that tho new road would run
north Of Newark. A com mission was
appointed in Decem ber, 1881, to Assess
damages for lands belonging to Will
liam Dean, which had been taken by
the railroad company. This commits
sion proceeded TO condemn lands of
William Dean on the north boundary
line OF the town, as well as on tbe north
side OF the boundary line. Mr.. Dean re-
tanned Ignatiuo y. Grubb, Esq. and he
objected TO the condemnation Of the
land south OF the boundary line, but
the commission proceeded, and awarded
Mr.. Dean 81. 800 for 51z acres OF land,
which he declined to accept. The mat
ter was then taken before Judge Woot-
ten, 1t Dover, and after hearing arRu-
ment, he decided that the commission
was illegal, and he then appointed Ma
thaniel Williams, Serick r. Shallcross,
Charles G. Ash, Zadoc A. Poole, and
John PuRh In their place. The COM
mission met In the Law Library ct the
Court House on Friday, to examine
witnesses In relation 10 the value OF the
ground taken. The railroad company
is represented by Levi O. Bird, ESQ !,
and Mr.. Dean by Ignatius G. Grubb
and George v. Massey, Esqs. The action
OF the commission will be final and end
