$4,000 NEW SPINDLES.
FULTON COUNTY COTTON MILLS TO
DOUBLE THEIR C4PACITY.
Thousands of Dollars to be Spent-work to
Begin at Once-Mr. Elsas Gives Evil
dence of His Faith in the South.

The cotton mill agitation is not concern
ing itself alone with the movement of New
England cotton mills southwark
Cotton mills all over the south have open
ed their eyes to the great advantages which
this section possesses for the manufacture
of cotton and from nearly all of them have
come announcements that their capacity is
to be doubled.
Following close upon the heels of the
announcement made by the Exposition
Cotton Mill Company that it had decided
to double the number of it's spindles. there
came the announcement yesterday that the
wel-known manufacturing iirm, the Fulton
bag and cotton mills. had decided to more
than double its capacity for the manufact-
ure OF cotton III Atlanta.
From 1900 spindies this well-known fac
tory is to be increased to 10000 spindes. and
right away. The work will be done just
as soon as graders, mechanics and brick
layers can do ii.
AS IL practical evidence of the strong
faith that exists in Atlanta as a manu-
featuring site among manufacturers who
have been located here nearly a score OF
years this action of the Fulton bag and
cotton mills will appeal to the thoughtful
as being highly significant.
Mr.. Elsas Talks.
at is merely an increase in business ca
pacity warranted by present trade and the
outlook" said Mr.. Elsas last night. I'VE
believe that the south is the place for the
manufacture of cotton. That is our abiding
faith, strong enough to induce us to put
a large outlay of money in making large
additions to our mill.
lit is our purpose to have the work done
right away. The plans are being prepared.
We will build a new mill on the same lot
on which our old mill stands We will have
sufficient accommodation on the grounds
for 1900 people-operatives and their fami-
lies.
II have no idea now how much money
will be required to make the increase we
have decided upon, and will not have until
j get the plans from the architect.
Eyes, the south is undoubtedly the place
for cotton mills. This section mas every
advantage that climate, labor convenient
access and natural advantages can afford.
We are merely putting our faith into works
when we make this extension"
VIII he Ready by the Exposition.
BY the opening of our present exposition
Mr. Elsas, the president of the Fulton bag
and cotton mills, will have erected cot
ton factory double the size Of the other,
having a capacity of 25,00J spndles which
is 5000 more than the Exposition mill will
have when completed and the product
of this new mill Will also be used by him
in manufacturing cotton bags, which viii
be sold all over the country.

Whr not Have a CIV Park :

Point Pleasant is up-to date in
many particulars and there is no
reason why we may not be modern
even in the sense of having a pub
lie park, especially SO, when we
have ground that would answer
the purpose nicely. The people of
this city and the county have
grounds that are utilized in not the
least of ways, but through some
ambiguous idea have been enclosed
from public access, as if they were
private property and belonged to
no one but the county court and to
those directly connected with the
offices and annexes of the court
house. These grounds around the
court house, as they now are, are
doing no one any earthly good and
it does seem that the real owners,
who are more or less taxed to keep
the same in proper order, should be
privileged to enjoy them. Country
people who come to the city these
warm days have no place, whatever,
to rest their weary bones, nor to be
protected from the broiliDg rays OF
the sun We reiterate the question,
why should the city not have a
park What better place have we
than the court house yard? By
all means let us tear those fences
away which are such strong bar
riers to health, comfort and pleasure.
Convert those grounds into a de-
lightful retreat where the weary
may find rest, where the overtaxed
brain can flee from busin ess cares
and where the sick may breathe
a free air rather than the stified
atmosphere within the mar
row sick chamber. Let the citi-
zens of Point Pleasant urge the i'm
portance of this matter without
ceasing until we have accomplished
this and then let US all join together
in the enjoyment of our labors.

The ChiId,s Mind.

Child instruction should in the
first instance proceed ',pon the
principle that the young mind is
an incalculabIe possibility, and
schooling should be of character
to carry that possibility just as far
as may be toward its realization,
writes the Rev. Charles II. Park
hurst, D. D., in the Ladies' Home
Journal. The child's mind is as
thickly studded with interrogation
points as the sky is with stars. The
primary genius of child is the
genius for asking questions. There
is a natural affinity between the
mind and the TRUTH Inquistive-
ness is as natural to intelligence as
hunger is to the stomach. One OF
the most common effects of current
schooling is to destroy that affinity.
Intellectual stuffing in the nursery
or in the school room is worse and
more wicked than gluttony in the
dining-room. Children who COM
mence going to school when they
are six and continue at it till they
are sixteen hate knowledge a good
deal worse than they do sin, and il
they had the courage of their i'm
pulses would assassinate their in
structors and practice nihilism on
their school-rooms and text books.
The distinct symptoms of nihilsm
are discernible in every school
room that has been used for edu-
cational purposes more than six
months. This intellectual demon
alization of the school-room will
pursue its present course till teach
ers are selected who have enough
of the genius of Froebel to under
stand that the mental constitution
of the child is itself prescriptive OF
the course followed in its develop
ment, and that the proper Office OF
the school commissioners and
school committees is to help the
teachers to carry out the intentions
of nature rather than to compel him
to embarrass and controvert those
intentions.
