GOOD THINGS TO REMEMBER.

IT'S a good thing TO remember in
these hard times that ga mans lite
CONSISTENT not in the abundance of
things ne possesseth." Outward
possessions are not essential to hap.
piness. Indeed, Lord Bacon pro.
nounces them 1.-The baggage of vir-
tue"-impediments hindering the
march.
At any rate happiness is princi-
pie within. 1t is a mood rather
than a state. If the heart is tran
quill, the mind calm, the conscience
clear and the digestion good, and if
to them be added a sufficiency of
food and clothing with modest root,
what more is needed?
Wants increase with means, and
always outrun possession. An in
ward disturbance skaters happi-
ness, whatever the environment.
An ancient philosopher thanked
Providence, under a heather name,
when after losing his estate, he cried:
II thank thee, Fortune, which hast
now compelled me to retire and live
within my cloak"

COTTON MILLS COMING SOUTH.

=
ment of New England cotton
manufacturer that he personally
knew of six large New England
cotton manufacturing concerns that
would move their plants to the south
this year, TIE Boston Advertiser
says:
"This is an outcome of the rapid
| inroaGs which the southern mills
have made upon the trade of the
northern mills engaged in making
the coarser grades. The mills whose
product has been exported extern
siveIy to China have felt for some
time the competition of southern
manufacturers, who have been sup
plying the same market, and now i.
has transpired that the Augusta,
Ca, MILLS have manufactured goods
for Manchester, Eng, which have
been shipped there unbranded, so
that they could be stamped with the
marks of the English manufacturers,
who, it seems, find it more profitable
to have this grade of goods made in
Georgia than in their own mills"
The New England manufacturers
are beginning to understand that
cotton mills in the north cannot
compete with cotton mills in the
south in the manufacture of the
coarser grades OF goods, and, there
fore, the shrewdest Of them are pre-
pairing to establish mills in the south
for the manufacture OF that class of
goods, They think, however, that
they car still maintain their SUI
premacy in the manufacture of the !
finer grades. They undoubtedly
have the advantage in labor Tor
goods of that kind Ia the north
skilled labor can be obtained in
abundance, but this question arises:
how long will they be able to retain
that advantage? Is it not fact
that because. of the climate factory
operatives can live more cheaply at
the south than at the north? That
being the case, will it not be possi>
Bile in the near future to obtain
cheaper labor at the south than az
the north? Labor is the great fac
tor in manufacturing and slight
difference in wages in favor OF the
south will ultimately make the south
the field for the manufacture OF the
finer as we'll as the coarser grades
OF goods.
Necessarily the south will first
manufacture the great bulk of tie
coarser goods, but gradually she
will undertake to manufacture the
finer grades AS her labor becomes
skilled and her capital increases she
will be in a position to compete
successfully with the north and with
England in the manufacture of the
highest grades.
The Savannah News speaks wise
ly and the community that moves
frst'will reap the best results
A cotton factory established in Ma
rietta would be sensible move and
good paying investment. The
Dalton cotton factory pays an an
nual dividend of Is and Is per cent.
What can you invest your money IN
that will pay as we'll? Let us have
a cotton factory.

An old .adage says that "man
who has no enemies is a negative
character" In this busy, pushing
world, where little is accomplished
without aggresSiveness, devotion to
duty and given line of action, a
man is sure to make enemies. Even
his success brings them to him, with
out intending to do so. But such
enemies may be considered to his
advantage.
