SMALL MANUFACTURES.
How They Can be Secured.

a number of small manufactures in a
city are much to be preferred to one or
two large ones. The Americas Recorder
tells how to secure them as follows There
is not so much risk of failure and there is
greater diversity of employment and better
wages. There are no strikes OF sud-
den shut downs, throwing hundreds out OF
employment Small manufactures, prop
erly managed, build up into large ones and
build on solid foundation, for they know
by experience the wants of the market and
work to supply them. Too often all the
capital, in large manufactures, is expend-
ed in building and machinery, leaving too
little to work upon, and as the first year
is always an experiment the losses often
eat up the small working capital and work
is suspended
We need number Of small manufacto-
ries, and we can secure them at compare
lively small cost and without any great ex-
ertion. There are many small and profit
able manufactures which could be located
here if our people would take one.third or
one-half the stock. The money for this
stock could be easily secured by the organ
ization OF an investment company upon
plan similar to the loan and building ssso-
Citations. Say organize an investment
company with thousand shares of 500
each, payable at the rate OF one dollar per
month on each share. This would give
one thousand dollars per month to be in,
vested by the directors in the stock of
small manufactures The directors could
advertise that they were prepared to take
a certain proportion of stock in manufac-
tories to be located here and we have no
doubt but many could be thus secured. By
careful investment and management this
stock could be made to pay handsome
dividends, and thus not only would the
city be benefited by increased population
and trade, but the stockholders would
realize fair per cent on their investment
In eight years we would have one hundred
thousand dollars invested in manufacto-
rles without the investors having felt the
losses of the money.
Suppose some of our enterprising bust.
ness men 60 to work and get up such an
organization. We believe the amount Of
stock necessary could be secured in q
| short time

ga LOT OF THINKING.,,

Northern newspapers are begin
ming to open their eyes to the steady
progress Of the South in industrial
development. The recent agree
ment to place a contract for 3,000,-
600 yards of cotton bagging by the
Georgia Alliance with Georgia and
Louisiana mills has caused several
northern papers to make editorial
comment. In reference to this con-
tract the Philadelphia Telegraph
asks:
''Where has it 1.-THE Alliance1 gone
for that considerable quantity of
goods? To the New England mills?
Not at all. 1t might have done so
once, and not so very long ago, but
now it has no need to do SO. The
contracts were given to mills in
Louisiana and Georgia, and the In
cident is very completely illustrated
of the many radical changes which
have taken place in one of our lead
ing industries. The south has nc
longer any need to divide an i'm
portant part of its revenues with
the cotton spinners of Massachusetts
and Rhode Island. It does its own
work and keeps its money at home.
This incident will bear a lot Of
thinking
Several other similar incidents
have occurred recently that have
caused "a lot of thinking" The
letting OF contract in Boston for
iron work tor Georgia firm caused
"a lot of thinking" not only on the
part of Boston editors, but OF the
editors throughout New England.
The skirmish of southern iron men
in the north and west preparatory
to an invasion of the country with
their products has caused "a lot of
thinking" on the part of northern
mine owners and iron producers,
and the intention of English iron
and steel makers to spend s10,0OO,-
600 in building an industrial town
at marlborough, KY, is causing
"a lot of thinking" all over the
country.-Manufacturers' Record.

AN HONEST MAN
The NOblest Work Of God.

Mrs. Belle X. Abbott is sojourning at
Canton, and recently made visit to the
poor house of Cherokee county. In one
cottage she found Confederate veteran.
She writes:
Age had not bent his form, but the
bullets of the war had crippled and bent
both hands and arms. Poor old bleached
headed soldier his pathetic condition
moves me to tears as pen these iines.
He can use one hand enough to carve
walking canes which he is glad to sell to
chance purchasers. / asked him about
his pension. Il get fifty dollars year"
he said cheeffully. Il have got that much
two years. Then, with your pension,
you can manage to live quite comfortably,
l suggested.
Yes, ma'am, he replied, somewhat
timidly. II could fl had not been so
unfortunate. l was totally helpless for
two years before / came here, and in that
time got in debt. have been trying to
pay my debts for two years"
With your pension money!" l asked.
Yes, ma'am, with my pension money,
and that's why ] have not been able to buy
myself many little things would have
liked, and might otherwise have had"
This confession startled me. Here was
an old, helpless man, for twenty-five years
a hopeless cripple, fed at last by the hand
Of charity, and the first money he could
get hold of he took to pay his honest
debts Think of this man, ye whose
honest debts rest lightly on your souls /!
And when the confederate veterans home
is built let this grand specimen of an
honest man be given the post of honor
among those battered heroes. A man who
would carve walking sticks with crippled
hands, for scarcely money enough to buy
an occasional plug of tobacco with, and
then with his fifty dollars year of pension
money would pay his honest debts, is
grander than the grandest potentate on
earth's grandest throne. Let Georgia
build for him grand monument out of
her most enduring stone when he shall
have been bourne by angels into Abra-
hams bosom" up from the shadows and
sufferings OF life's battlefield

A FINE GOLD PROPERTY.

We have always maintained that the
best test of our gold mines would only be
shown when the miners began to use i'm.
proved machinery. The way to accom-
plish success in any mining venture is to
have the very best machinery.
The celebrated Halle Gold Mines in
Lancaster county, S. c., are now having
placed 60 stamp Gold Mill, using all the
latest improvements in the way of Self
Feeders, Steam Batteries, Commentators
ETC., and will use a Corless engine as
motive power.
The success of this mine is assured, for
they will have the latest improvements in
machinery furnished by the Mecklenburg
Iron Works, of Charlotte, S. c. This
firm is the pioneer in the introduction OF
improved gold mining machinery, and we
would advise every miner in Georgia to
consult with Mr.. Jno W. Wilkes, the
manager of this firm, who has made a
study of this particular machinery, and
have them erect their plants. This firm
has an advertisement in this paper and we
direct all our readers to their card.

Railroad, and five great pits have
been opened. The marble is taken
flom the pits in blocks weighing
many tons each. These blocks are
sawn into slabs by mills in the val
ley and elsewhere. The Tate
brothers are drawing a royalty Of
over $1,000 dollars month, and the
aggregate is constantly increasing.
The output of the quarries is al
ready immense, and is doubling
every year. Over 1000 men are al
ready employed in the valley. Be-
sides this, mills for shaping and
polishing the marble are running
in Cincinnati, Chattanooga, Peoria,
Marietta, and Nelson, Ga. The
Marietta mill is two stories high,
and nearly 500 feet long. 1t was
built by company of Bostonians
and Philadelphians, of which the
lamented K. NJ. Pulsifer of the Bos-
ton Herald was president. The
marble is sent all over the country,
and there have been few ship
ments to Europe. 1t is almost i'm
possible, with the present facilities,
to supply the demand.
The Long Swamp quarries are
probably the largest in the world.
