There is also class Of Editors who
claim to be iu full sympathy with the
Alliance and at the same time tack le
every move taken by it. We are un-
der many obligations to the Atlanta
Constitution for the unsolicited advice
concerning the marketing Of cotton,
also the Lancaster LEDGER for the
same. We have men for the purpos
ofinforming US in regard to selling
cotton that probably these Editors
know not Of, and whose business il is

We patronize the LEDGER ourselves,
as matter of choice. so does the Ali

that anything that leads directly or

unwisely taken. We make no assault

Second. What would we do with

Second. What would we do with
out the negro?
10 the first place, what possible
object is there in ridding ourselves OF
this useful clan of people. The negro
ia the best possible laborer for the
South. He can stand the heat of our
climate, and the miasma of the low.
country does not affect him. As a
rule he is docile and peaceable, is ac-
customed to our ways and habits: he
was faithful during four years Of war,
tilling the soil. and caring for our
wives and children. The sudden
change from slavery to freedom was
acqulesced IN without revolution and
hardly without exultatiop.
Secondly. Suppse that the negro
smigrates. who will take his place ?
Tie Chinese can't come, but suppose
he did he is not a desirable laborer,
nor would he assimiate with our peo-
pie. The Northern and Western
white man does got want to come
South, and if he came he could not
stand the climate. The Irish, Ger.
man, Scandinavian and Italian emf.
grant wont come South in spite Of all
possible inducements offered by em-
igraEt societies and agents. But sup-
pose the white man came from any
section OF the world, would he be
content to till the soil for the same
wages as the negro, or would be be

Now, iostead of this constant dis.

Chester's Enterprises.

The Chester correspondence of the
Columbia Register, says:
The Chester Manufacturing Com
pany have unfortunately met with an
imPediment p. the progress of work
on the factory building After the
sn okestack AZ reached an altitude
of eisnty foe { was discovered that
near lIe hase ae structure hGd CON
neDcei to bulge. Toe cause of this
is attributed to the smallness of the
base--it being only fifteen feet. The
Fork of tearing 1t down is now going
|bn, which is necessarily slow. But ten
feet more would have completed the
work. The building otherwise is
nearly ready for the machinery.
The brick structure used as the
Moffatt shops has been torn down and
a force of hands are engaged remov-
ing the rubbish and arranging the
foundations of the Moffatt Manufac,
turing Company buildings upon the
same site. The Richmond and Dan
VILE Railroad Company have graded
q side track alongside the building for
the accommodation of the company.

A largely attended meeting of
local and out of town capitalists
was held at Lowell, Mass. and
organized the Denison Cotton
Manufacturing Company, with a
capital of 100000.
The company will issue 5000
shares of stock at 500 per share.
They intend to build a mill of
25,OO0 spindles in Denison Texas.
Among those present were Coli
NJ. ii. French, of Texas, and w.
L. Rice, Of Alabama. It is claim.
ed that cotton of the best spin
ming quality can be laid down in
Texas for six dollars a bale less
than in New England. The op-
eratives will be from the white
native population of Texas.

The Palmetto State Ahead.
South Carolina the Banner Manufae-
\ turing State of the South.

HATTA NooaA, October 4.-The
ksman has instituted au exhaus>
Hiry in the cotton mill industry
Apth and received reports
e leading mills Of the
Yes. The actual mum :
St341lb0 30, an increase of
15z per cent. since the census year.
The increase in mils consumption of
new cotton in the same period has
been 253 pr cent. South Carolina
is the banner State; 1920 bales
were consumed in that State last
year, against 12O,9SS bales in Geor-
gia. The consumption of raw cot
ton in South Carolina has increased
thirty.three per cent. iu two years.
The concensus of opinion of the
leading manufacturers Of the South in
their written reports to the Trades
man Is that the South is in possess
sion of advantages over any portion of
America for cotton manufacturers in !:
First, proximity to raw material i;
second, superior climate; third, cheap
er power |; fourth, lower cost of rent
aud living fifth, lower wage scale !;
sixth, less ii"oility to strikes; seventh,
cheaper buildings eight, less expense
for heating mills /; ninth, saving Oh
freight.
Exports show that the South has
abundant material with which to de:
velop an excellent labor for the indus>
try. Nearly all force is native, and
although the expansion Of the indus
try since 1880 has called for an IN
crease in the number OF hands amount
ing to fully 200 per cent, there has
not been in that period a single
strike in one Southern mill town and
but one of considerable duration in
any mill. The reports also show that
operatives do not lack high degree Of
skill.
The Tradesman has received re-.
turns of dividends from twenty five
leading mills, in the South, located in
six differen, States. These dividends
run between extremes of 4 and %
per cent, and the average of the
twenty five is III per cent. per an
mum. These twenty FIVE fairly repre-
cen. the whole.

Lancaster has as fine timbered
lands as can be found anywhere
in the State. We have plenty of
room, plenty of cotton, and plen-

they admit the fact, to their
shame, that the blame lies at
their own Hoor? We tell the
real estate owners of Lancaster.
in all sincerity, that if they do
not act, and that quickly, that
their wealth will dwindle into
almost nothing in a few more
years. Then why not view things
as they really are, take the lead
and invite those of small capital

in the place of small capital but

will think High Bob is alternating,

Cat we heard preacher say in the
pulpit not long since) we do not know
what the preacher meant whether he
was severe to preach, fight or sound
like tinkling cymbal, but we propose
to deal with only few facts and re-
ports which, like mules, are stubborn
things. The first which presents it.
self to our mind is an element that has
been treating the Farmers Alliance
contemptuously and coolly ever since
its introduction into this State; and
until recently the order had to bow
its head in humble submission, leav-
ing the floor to its scorners and perse.
cutors. But we are glad to say that
that day has past and the Alliance is
standing on It's own sure footing and
foundation. Not IL months since q
man asked the writer" "Ain't you
one Of the head men of the Alliance Z"
and nothing but what little modesty
we have about us keeps US from say
ing yes and we will venture to say we
are sitting astride Of the neck and
holding to the horns anyway, and il
we, like the great, get burdensome we
will stick right on anyway. The or
der has gotten where it can travel
and ,ohere IL ,oiH travel despite the i'll
wishes OF some unprincipled undeserv-

class of men that we think might as
