of forest. On nearer approach he finds
q Gotten factory running to its full ca
pacity in a clearing in the pine woods
with no other building within a mile of
it. On railroad switch before one of
its doors are several freight cars loaded
with coarse or fine sheeting ready to go
to New York. On the other side of the
long low building are a half dozen mule
carts, each with bale of cotton, picked
perhaps within two miles of the mill,
literally white as snow. It goes into the
receivers. presses, carders, is taken up
by the spindles, wound on the rapidly
revolving spools, passes to the looms
and perhaps in "a hours is ready for
shipment as cloth.
Sometimes one finds clusters of mills
in sections perhaps Is miles square,
such as CASTOR county, N. c. In the
northwestern corner of South Carolina
is what is called stcotton mill belt, -
which includes about 20 of the best
plants in the south. The many water
power sites and the fine grade of cotton
attracted such a number of COMPANIES
to this point. The Pelzer, the largest
plant in the south, is in this group. It
comprises two mills with about I05, 900
spindIes. The first mill was built in
1883 and has 55, 900 spindles. The Sec
ond was built almost entirely from the
profits made out of the first. The com
pany earned from 20 to 20 per cent net
for a series of years, which furnished
the surplus to build the mill mention
ed. Another of these companies-the
Piedmont-started with $3.50, 900 cap
ital. In six years it cleared $3.50, 600 for
a surplus to enlarge its capacity, be-
sides paying stockholders 6 per cent
dividend yearly. In this belt So, $780,
600 capital has been invested, princi-
pally by southern men, in the mills,
which have earned dividends ranging
from 8 to % per cent, although these
dividends are not declared, part of the
money being used for fund for i'm
provements, etc.
Every southern cotton mill is operat-
ed by white labor principally There
are not 100 negro spinners or weavers
in these 3 states Occasionally one
finds a negro fireman or engineer, but
only occasionally. The whites are most
~ natives of the south, less than 10 per
cent being foreign born. In the coun-
try districts they usually have one house
to each family, with a garden patch
and possibly a cow Pure air, good
food and healthful surroundings make
their lives worth living and bring
about that satisfaction with their en-
ployment that causes labor troubles to
be unknown in southern mills.

THE Clay Center Times, referring to
the STATE JOURNALS remarks concern
ing the dismissal of Prof. Garfield from
the state university, criticises them as
follows:
Kansas did not turn him out because
of prejudice. 1t let him GO because his
days of usefulness in this state were over.
He was not in harmony with the faculty;
not in harmony with the sentiment of the
state on political matters, and he was Of
fensive in the PRONUNCIATION of his
theories; he WAS a natural breeder of dis
sensions; petty in his methods where his
antipathies were aroused. He learned
something in Kansas. which he is wisely
working to his profit, and it is just posi-
BILE that he might be successful in other
states, at the same time tail in Kansas if
tried; this not to this disparagement OF
Kansas, eithsr, as the JOURNAL would
seem to insinuate.
The Times knows, and every body
knows. that Prof. Garfield was let out be-
cause of his advanced views on certain
questions; because he did not plod along
in beaten paths and follow the theories
of old fogies, as laid down in musty old
books; because he insisted on thinking
and acting on a line dictated by his own
reason and common sense. On what does
the Times base its statement that he was
not in harmony with the sentiment of the
state? He may not have been in har
mony with an element of the Republican
party. but are our schools political or ed
vocational institutions? Are they estab-
lished for the entire state or for persons
of certain political opinions? The only
proper standpoint from which to view
Prof. Canfeld's work is, did he teach
the truth? Until the Times is able to
prove that he did not its criticisms are
not entitled to consideration.

BALTIMORE, April 5.-Millionaire
G. P. Huntington told New York re-
porter the other day that IL he were a
young man with 500, 600 he would go
to Africa, buy rubber and make a mil
lion.
A number Of northern people disa-
gree with Mr.. Huntington and think
they will make fortune by building
cotton mills in the south
Why?
Because they have found that these
mills are making money. It is a fact
that every plant in the southern states
today which is turning out cotton cloth
with modern machinery is paying a
profit to owners This is a sweeping
statement, but it has been verified by
careful inquiry. Dividends have been
put away by the owners ranging from
to % per cent on a years business,
while enough profit remained to add
handsome sum in many cases TO the
company's credit balance or surplus
To throw in a few figures at this point,
80 factories in eight southern states rep
resenting Sc, $50, 600 cash investment
averaged s per cent each in dividends
recently declared from a years bust
ness. Naturally such success has stimu-
lated cotton manufacturing, and the
record of new mills built furnishes
some rem arkabIe figures. For instance,
in the / 3 southern states four years
ago, or in 1890; but 255 were in opera
ton; since that time nearly 200 more
have been built. Today about 40 are
turning out dozens of varieties of cot
ton goods by the use of 3, 100, 900 spin
dies and 20, 900 looms. They represent
about 500, 900. 600 of investment, while
in 1890 the valuation of these plants
complete was between SCI, 900, 900 and
$62, 900, 900, according to statistics
compiled by the Baltimore Manufao-
turers' Record, the leading authority
on this subject.
These figures furnish the cause for
what is termed the ''cotton mill agita-
ton" which is occupying SO much
space in the daily and the trade press,
and which has resulted in the determi-
nation of several large New England
south, among them the Dwight Manu-
featuring company, Boott company
and Massachusetts Mills company of
Massachusetts,, Nashua Manufacture
ing company and jackson company

cut. These companies combined will

money in the south, and most Of them

have determined to take this step
within the last year, simply because
they have thoroughly investigated the
reason these mill companies in Dixie
can do business and have found that
they can make cotton duck. sheeting,
etc., and sell at figures which are profit
able to them.
Why can they do it? This can be an
swered in a few words. To begin with,
the mills are practically in the cotton
fields and can select the best grades at
from So to 81 per bale, estimating
freight rates to the north, less than
northern companies must pay Experts
estimate that the south has per cent
in its favor, because the temperature is
more favorable to spinning than in the
north. Ground costs much less and
building material is much cheaper than
in the north. Soft coal for fuel can be
had for SO to rs cents per ton less than
in other sections, while little fuel is
used for heating. This applies to steam
power mills. Water power is cheaper
than in tho north. But perhaps the
greatest advantage lies in time and
wages. Employees of southern mills
average 66 hours per week, or nearly 10
per cent longer than in the north, while
wages range from 20 to 25 per cent less,
principally because they can live so
much more cheaply in the SOUTH often
getting houses rent free from the COM
panies for which Fall River spinners
would have to pay SO to $15 per
month. For instance, the pay roll of a
factory near Charlotte, n. c., employ
ing 80 hands, of whom 80 are men and
boys and the rest women and girls, is
but $3.50 per week, perhaps the lowest
of any mill in this country. With these
advantages and rememb ering the fact
that the modern mills south of the Sus-
quehanna river have the best New Eng
land and European machinery, the read
er can readily see why this cotton MAX
ing question has aroused SO much in
terest.
And these mills are queer looking
structures to people accustomed to see
ing the great seven and eight story piles
of brick and stone scattered along the
rivers and creeks from Long Island
sound to the lakes of Maine. Few are
more than two stories high except in
the southern cities, and many are only
one. Land is cheap, and it costs less to
build in this way than to go higher in
the air, while fire will do less damage,
and elevators and other hosting appa-
ratus are unnecessary. Many mill
company in the Carolinas and Georgia
never paid cent for the sites of their
buildings and operate free from taxes.
Sometimes the traveller through the
Piedmont section of the south sees a
big brick stack apparently in the midst

recent interview expressed himself as
hoping that the Republican party would
adopt a liberal policy toward silver.

terms intended to deceive and nislead

get puzzled. Ii the demonstration of
silver is responsible for this low price of
wheat and cotton, what is responsible for
the high price of hogs and corn?-Ellin-

This has been explained many times.
It is because the price of hogs and corn
is not made in Liverpool, and we do not
come in competition with silver using
countries on these products. We export
little corn and our hogs have been ex-
cluded from European markets.
