TIRE SETTERS.

Everyone who has carriage a wagon, a cart, a truck or any kind of light or heavy wagon, or any number of them is invited to come and see the greatest inven- tion of the period. Exhibition free, charges for setting tires as low as anywhere. Tires set cold while yon wait. Can finish full set of four heavy tires in about 20 minutes -or on a rush, one tire in five minutes It is simply wonderful. Old methods are very funny in comparison. No fire, no muss, no injury to wheel or paint. Tire is put on in every way better than by any other process. One can hardly believe it without seeiug it. I have the sole right for this section, and am ready to set tires for any and all manufacturers, repairers, business men. firms or individuals. No waiting, no imperfections in hot or cold weather. Old or new tires set to order |. All wheels handled are beautified, im- proved and strengthened by the process. Come and see the machine and read the many glowing testimonials.

"a movement destined to be-
come popular among Mississip-
pians,' says the Carrollton Con-
servative, "was inaugurated at a
meeting held last week at Nitta
Yuma. where many prominent
planters from the delta were in at
tendance. 1t was the passage of
resolutions fixing the laborers'
wages for the coming crop season.
The pay of the best male laborers
was fixed at 50 cents q day or s.
per month, with rations. Female
wages were fixed at 20 cents q day.
According to this scale Of wages,
the crops will be laid by at a cost
of $3.50 per acre. The present
low price of cotton forced the plan.

be had in this community without any
difficulty.
I do not think it is feasible fer any
community to get much outside capi-
tai where mill has not already been
successfully opera ted. Capital is al
ways attracted by the best premiums
of returns. Very considerable sums of
New England capital seek investment
in Charlotte and in the vicinity of
Charlotte, because the natives here
have made complete success of
manufacturing. Capital always seeks
investment wherever it is returning
dividends in the line of investment. In
fact, capital works very much upon the
principle of helping those who help
themselves. Any town might wait in
definitely for mill to be built with
Northern capital in it, while another
town that goes ahead and makes sue
cess for itself, attracts the attention of
the capitalists.
A $5O,OO0.Oo mill would employ 80 or
40 hands, would utilize about 20 bales
of cotton per week, and would pay out
in wages about $3.50 per week. All
there figures would vary according to
what was made.

and fifty out Of each crop for four
years.
A mill built on this plan, when
once finished, is just as good prop
erty for the stockholders and does
a town or city just as much good
as7if it had been built with money
brought from elsewhere. In fact
it is more advantageous as it's con-
struction develops a latent re-
source, out of which further devel-
opment is sure to come.
The preliminary preparation for
the organization Of such a compa-
ny in the way Of preparing tho
right sort Of a charter, bylaws and
subscription list should be left to
the engineer selected to make plans
and guide the company in the con-
duct of it's affairs.
1t is very important for a COM
pany of inexperienced people to
select good engineer and then re-
ly upon his knowledge, skill and
Judgment. Any attempt to build
a mill without good counsel will
be troublesome. Advice picked
up here and there, free of charge,
is worth just what it cost, viz,
nothing. A good engineer will
charge good fair price and will
handle the matter just as good
lawyer would q lawsuit or as a
physician would handle a ease of
sickness. There are plenty of
good engineers in the country
whose records for successful work
become a guarantee of the success
Of whatever they undertake.
BY the plan herein explained
those towns in which the people
are waiting for soma capitalist to
come and build mill, may help
themselves and build mill with
out outside help. Capital natur-
ally seeks Investment amongs,
tpeople who have themselves ex.
hibited resource and capability
When a cotton mill has been built
on this plan, the result is not only
a manufacturing plant for th'
town but a savings institution has
been worked out in the mariner o
raising the money to build mil
with. Every one of the towns anc
cities OF the southeast that are nov
4 well known as manufacturing
places built their first factory ou
of native resource and without out
side help. AS result wheneve
New England money is looking TO
investment it is likely to go to on
of these places where success ha
already been demonstrated.
In one or two cases another fea
ture has been introduced, viz
! subscribers give notes for th
amount of their subscriptions. B.
this the company has the notes t.
use for collateral ia case of borrow
ing money, and if the notes ar
made interest bearing, then tn
= burden Of interest falls on the sub
scribers and not on the treasur
of the company.
! AS soon as the mill is in opera
ton the matter ofinterest balances
provided the profit equals or eS
: ceeds the interest account. If tn
stockholders pay the interest the
: the mill ought to pay a diyiden
from the time it starts up. Bat
the mill carries any interest az
count ON account Of any unpai
subscriptions then the stockholder
ought not TO expect any dividen
until the stock is paid in full.
The factories built with capt.;
raised on the above plan have bee
all successful and are now doin
well.n

Only Il Question of Time When

Petition to Build South Granted
by Legislative Committee.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 23.-The
executive committee on mercan-
tile affairs gave a hearing yester-
day afternoon at the State house
on the petition Of the Boott and
Merrimsc Mills, of Lowell, for
permission to manufacture good.

latter's proposition also asking for
authority to increase its capital
stock from s2,50O,O00 to $780,
600. L c Clarke, treasurer Of the
Boot mills, first addessed,the COM
mittee and exhibited samples of
the kind of goods manufactured by
the mills. These consisted of
coarse cotton goods, drillings,
sheetings and shirtings, and class
Of finer goods.
Mr.. Clarke said the Boot mills
were incorporated by special char
ter in 1888 for the manufacture of
cotton goods in Lowell. For fifty
years these goods have been made
for export and home consumption,
the only competition for the great
er part of the time, coming from
the Northern States and from
abroad. Within the last few years
! however, competition has arisen III
| tie Southern States where tuef ard
labor are much cheaper. The in
crease in the number of mills in
the South has been phenomenal,
the per cent being in the past few
years 80 per cent to y per cent at
the North. All the Southern mills
are making the same class of goods
as are being made in the Boot
mills and they are making them
, much cheaper, and if the Boot
Company is to continue to make
the goods, they must make them
where they have the same advan-
tages as the Southern companies.
At present the Southern companies
are making good profit at what
would be starvation prices for the
Boott Company, He further said
that the principal desire Of the
company in its present moY2 is to
preserve its trade MARKS, which
are very valuable, especially in
the foreign markets, notably Chi
ma.
The company if allowed to 90
South, will devote its Lowell plant
! ! directly to making the finest goods
+ by which living wages can bepaid.
The company intends to keep the
! Southern labor on cheaper goods,
l although, Mr.. Clarke admitted to

, in the South will become as skilled

Of the company is now permitted
: to be 81 500, 900 but only $780,

remains authorized to allow the

the company, said the company

THE INSTALLMENT PLAN.
Resume Of the Work on Foot to
Secure q Cotton Factory in
KOSciuskO.

Our townsman, Mr.. James, T.
Hammond, has "got move on
himself in the way Of feeling the
pulse of the people as to whether
or not they want a cotton factory
in Kosciusko. He is circulating u
list for subscriptions, placing the
shares as low as SO each. The
amount subscribed already runs
away up into the thousands, and
he has every reason to believe that
factory with 100000 capital can
be established here. Every one
he meets is enthusiastic over the
project, and most Of those sub
scribing do so with the understand
ing that they will treble and quad
ruple and even more Literally in
crease their subscriptions when the
plan assumes definite shape and
they see exactly what is to be done.
In addition to Mr.. Hammond's in
diyidual efforts in Kosciusko. he
has called to his assistance prom
inent farmers from all over the
county, and these are industrious
ly pushing the matter among thei'
friends and soliciting subscriptions
from all.

factory builder of Ch harlotte, N. G..

ton mills. Here is the reply he

have some doubt about the feasibll
ity of getting many good subscription
on the basis of $40 par value. Thes
small subscriptions are too precarlou
of collection; but, nevertheless, If yo'
are situated to get enough subscrip

all payable at once in the fall, you ma,
be able to collect the bulk of them.
We have built a number of cottol

another in Chester, S. c., etc, etc.
These shares are usually subscribe
for by merchants or salaried peopl
who make the payments once mont
or a week. This would probably b
more difficult with you than with us
as your country is chiefly farmin
country, while we have quite a consid
cradle interest in manufacturing pun
suits which gives us good many fore
men working on good salaries, and
large number of skilled laborers gettin
good wages. But our subscription
come mostly from merchants and sue
oessful business men. In poor cas-
you might get this supplementary bel
from the farmers on the basis of 81
per share.
We find that Il mill of about 800
splndles and about so looms will cos

Northern capital in it, while another
town that goes ahead and makes a sue
cess for itself, attracts the attention of
the capitalists.
A $5O,000.0O mill would employ 80 or
40 hands, would utilize about 20 bales
of cotton per week, and would pay out
in wages about $3.50 per week. All
theSe figures would vary according to
what was made.
Yours truly,
d. A. TOMPKINS.
In the mail with the above let
ter came q pamphlet entitled "A
Plan to Raise Capital for Manufac-
turing, by D. A. Tompkins " Since
in the present factory agitation,
anything bearing on the subject is
of interest, we give the contents of
the pamphlet in full, believing
that 1t offers a good method of
raising capital, or at least Of secur-
ing the remaining amount should
it not all be raised by subscrip-
ton. In the book are a number
Of pictures Of factories now in sue
cessful operation, for which the
capital was raised on this plan.
Its feasibility will be readily un-
derstood by those who familiar
with the working of our local
Building and Loan Association.
The pamphlet in full is as fol.
lows;
= Where are in successful opera
ton in the southeast q number of
cotton factories constructed with
money raised on the installment
plan as the payments ar, made in
the building and lean associations.
The writer had observed that in
many towns there was strong de-
sire among the people to build and
operate a cotton factory, but con-
ceived it impossible to raise the
capital at home because, as a rule,
few people in towns or small cities
have much unemployed capital. 1t
was further observed that in al
most, it not quite every one of
these instances, one or more build
ing and loan associations were in
operation with accumulated cash
in excess of what it was considered
impossible to raise for the con
struction of Il cotton factory. The
conclusion was therefore reached
that if plan could be formulated
by which company could be OF.
ganized whose capital stock was
made payable in the shape of reg.
ular weekly or monthly savings,
then any ordinary community
could raise the money to build q
factory.
Following out this line OF
thought it was found that with
shares of one hundred dollars par
value they could be paid In full as
follows: CD At the rate of one
dollar per week per share the pal
value would be req chsd in a little
less than two year. |2) At the
rate Of fifty cents p week the
time would be little less than
four years. (3) At the rate O.
twenty.f cents per week the
time would be a little less thar
eight years. Each of these plans
of payments have been tried at
! Charlotte, N. G., and in each case
the result has been successful.
The plan (2) Of fifty cents pei
week per share, it transplres, is
the most popular and the most
suitable for all ordinary cases and
places. At this rate the following
would be the regular payments fol
about four years:
On share (Sl00) SOC per week
or about 81 per month.
On 5 shares $500 $3.50 pei
week or about so per month.
