A Suggestion to the Farmers.

~
EDITORS MTEaLseENuER;:: The fight
the farmers aroNnoa making in the cotton
bsggiug line issaid to be against the
trust which controls jute bagging. This
is all right and proper, aud in this you
have and receive the sympathy of all
classes. but let not your zeal be without
knowledge Bs not pursuaded that you
can ever afford to entirely discard jute
aud substitute cotton covering in its
stead without loss, both now and as long
s:you use cotton covering. For you
cannot buy manufactured cotton and sell
it again at the price of raw or lint cotton
without q loss, neither now nor in the
future. This is fact so plain that any
reasonable man will not dispute it. Nor
need you be persuaded that the use of
cotton thus will increase the price of
cotton sufficiently to make up the loss,
for increase in the price ofcotton increas.
es thep price ofcotton goods. .
stCome, now, and let us reason togeth.
er." Say that you geta strong cotton
covering that will weigh pound to the
yard, then you will put six pounds Of
manufactured cotton. on a bale. Since
it takes about one hundred pounds of
lint cotton to make eighty pounds Of
cloth, you will add to the six pounds to
the bale one and a half pounds for waste
in manufacturing, and this will give you
seven and half pounds of lint cotton
to the bale used as covering. Then seven
millions, multiplied by seven and hall,
would give you the number of pounds of
lint cotton necessary to cover the entire
cotton, crop, if 100000 bales. Thus
zoe, 100000 < 74-.52,5oO,ooO, the mum.
ber Of pounds Of lint cotton necessary to
cover seven million bales. This divided
by 800, gives 100000, the number of 500,
po.3d bales necessary to cover 600, 600
bales. The thing that suggesta itself to
the writer's mind as the best and most
certain victory for the fight against the
jute bagging trust is for the farmers of
the South and West to combine and es.
tablish jute factories in the South, buy
the raw jute and manufacture their own
baggiDg, and thus keep it out of the con-
trolof the trust The victory once won
in this way is won forever. The money
lost in South Carolina this year by the
use Of cotton baggipg would probably
establish thisjute factory, and make the
South Carolina farmers free indeed Of the
trust. Think over this suggestion, and
|ifit is good one adopt it, if it is not
good reject it. Every body in this coun.
try commends you for fighting the Jute
Trust, but think carefully, calculate the
result, and 80 fight that when you have
once gained the battle you will haze won
q lasting victory over the trust. Jute
is unquestionably the best covering you
can get for. your cotton, provided you
can get for your cotton, provided you
do by building Jute Factories IN this
Country, and SO arrange them that you
can control them, and not they control
you. My heart is With you in all things
that are right, and these lines are written
in the fall sympathy ofa

Mills Amid the Cotton.

CHATTANOOGA, October 4.-The
Iradesnaan has instituted an exhaustive
inquiry into the cotton mill industry OF
the South and has received reports from
all the leading mills of the Southern
States. The actual number Of mills in
operation is S39, against 142 in 1880, an
increase Of 232 per cent. since the censrs
year. The increase in mill consumption
of raw. cotton in the same period has been
2S5 per cent?
South Carolina is the banner State,
192,319 bales having been consumed in
that State last year, against 120,99S bales
in Georgia. The consumption of raw
cotton in South Carolina increased 33
per cent. in two years. The concensus
of opinions of leading manufacturers of
the South, in written reports to the
7fadesman, is that the South possesses
advantages, over any other part of Amer.
lea for cotton manufactures, in, first,
proximity to raw material second, supe.
rior climate; third, cheaper power !;
fourth, lower cost of rent and living |;
fifth, lower wage scale; sixth, less liabil-
ity to strikes; seventh, cheaper build
ipgs; eighth, less expense for heating
mills ninth, saving on freights.
The reports show that the South has
abundant material from which to develop
an excellent labor force for industry
Nearly all labor is native, and, although
the expansion of the industry since 1880
called for an increase in the number of
hands amounting to 200 per cent. there
has not been in that period single seri.
Gus strike-in one Southern cotton mill
town, and but one OF considerable duration
in any mill. The reports show that the
operatives do not llack a high degree Of
skill.
The Tradesnsan has received returns of
dividends from 25 leading mills South,
located in six different States. These
dividends run between 4 and 28 per cent.
aud the average of the 25 is III per cent.

Mountains of the East,


Ifyou ask almost any one which is the
highest mountain in the United States
east of the Rocky mountains, the reply
will be mount Washington, in New
Hampshire" Now, according to Golden
Days, This is giving credi! where credit is
not due.
If you will lock at your atlas you will
see the Appalachian chain of mountains,
which divides North Carolina and Ten.
nessee. The average height Of the chain
exceeds 5000 feet, and the highest peaks
are in North Carolina.
Mount Washington is 6,2S5 feet above
the sea level, but in North Carolina
there are fourteen mountains of greater
altitude. Their names and heights are
as follows: Mount Mitchell, 6,717 feet
Guyots peak, or Belsam cone, 6.67l ;
Clingman's dome, $500; Sandy Knob,
6,612; Hairy Bear, 6,657; Cat Tail peak,
6,5s5; Gibbe's peak, 6,5S6; Mount
Alexander, GAIT; Sugar Loaf, 6,4Ol
Potato Top, 6,393; Black Knob, 6,597 ;
Mount Henry, 6,37S; Bowler's pyramid,
6,346; Roam Mountain, 6,3l8. These are

The monarch Of eastern mountains, it
will be seen, is Mount Mitchell, which is
432 feet higher than Mount Washington.
1t was named after Professor Elisha
Mitchell, native of Connecticut, and a
graduate of Yale College. As far back
as 1852 Professor Mitchell demonstrated
that the Mountain which now bears his
name was the highest east of the Rocky
Mountains.
