Two Mills a Month.

The Wool and Cotton Reporters
review of mill construction throughout
the country credits New York with
80 new textile mills constructed dur
ing the past year, Pennsylvania with
Sc, North Carolina with 26, South
Carolina with %, Georgia l9, Massa-
chusetts Is, Maine IL, Virginia and
Rhode Island s each. Texas and
Connecticut I each
This is a good exhibit for the
Carolinas. With about 100000
white population New York and
Pennsylvania together built seventy
four new mills. With about 1000, 600
white population the Carolinas built
forty-nine new mills That is to say,
in proportion to white population the
two Southern States built four mills to
the two greatest Northern States one.
South Carolina with 1000 white
population, built so per cent more
mills than Massachusetts with SIX
times as large a white population;
twice as many as Maine with 30 per
cent larger white population; and
three times as many as Connecticut
with nearly double its white popula-
ton. 1t should be noted that this
exibit covers all textile mills, not
cotton mills alone. 1fthe comparisons
were confined to cotton mills, South
Carolina, we believe, would show
narly as many new mills for the year
as all the Northern States put togeth-
er. This is glory enough for 1894
The comparison will be still more
favorable, we hope, at the end of 1898.

Goodbye, Old Year
Good-bye. Old Year 4,


Wrapped in the winding sheet
which you yourself have woven, you
4ake you1 place tonight in the chilly
chamber assigned you "ln the silent
halls of death" The dew Of eternal
morning is already upon your brow
those CLASSY eyes assume stare as
fixed as the fate that awaits you, and
at "midnight's holy hour your
younger brother will come and
assume the heritage which time has
thrust upon him. Goodbye, oid
Year
To day the kindly earth is slum-
bering, Tapped in universal snow
1t is well. The fakes shall be your
flowers, and the snow birds shall
twitter your requiem as they sang
your natal hymn. Since early au-
tumn the sumach, the sassafras' and
the oak have been spreading hun,
dred-hued carpet for the feet of the
raourners who shall follow You to
your last home under the hill. The
tasteful tapestry is now complete and
the burial hour is almost here. Good
bye, Old Year.
The emotions of men are not al
ways deep, and while some are whis-
pering "The year is dead !" others
will Shout Long live the year ~
Around your bier tonight will sit
motley host. Mourning and mirth
will meet on common ground, &C
cording to the gifts you have brought
mankind. Twin hearts N which the
fervent fires of affection keep hope
aglow will claps their hands and look
in pensive silence upon you as they
think of the JOY you have brought
them and then cast furtive look to
the unfolding future, wondering what
the tomorrow Of time will bring.
Thoughtless jewellers will brim their
bumpers with "a health to the dead
already and three cheers for the next
to die" Old age, palsied and wrin-
kled, will cast retrospective look
towards-"so sad,s so strange,-the
days that are nc more" and planting
their feeble feet upon the steadfast
Rock of Ages, await the hour when
loving friends will bid them, as we
now bid you, goodbye, Old Year!
In the great, wild wood of life you
have been "a companion of owls and
brother of dragons"-you have
been a half-sister to sylphs AID a
father to fauns. The gamut which
God attuned in your infant heart has
responded in symphonies of soul-felt
sorrow and thrilled with the madden
ing measures Of mirth. Tonight, like
the master Of musical masters, your
own requiem will Groom youto rest.
With smile and Itear, good
bye, Old Year.-Augusta Evening

have long lamented their inability to
secure a patient hearing or arouse
any interest in their cause when they
come to Washington. This was not
surprising, for, as rule, they have
not been Of the type to inspire re-
spect or confidence, and what they
had to propose Or suggest carried no
insurance of substantial results.
The change IN the situation has
wrought change in purpose and
stimulated hope for the future. The
South will be looked after as it never
was before. The outlines of the
improved plan of Republican CAM
paign may be briefly summarized.
Local ambitious and local interests
will be aroused, reputable men only
will be sought for to put on the
tickets, and efforts steadily directed
to still and allay local prejudlces and
apprehensions-
1.-The Democrats of the South must
be up and doing if they wish to re-
pair the severe injuries inflicted upon
them this year. If the Republicans in
the local elections next year in the
South can hold on to what they cap
tured this year, they will be happy.
Ifthey succeed in doing better, they
vii! be iubilant In either event, or
in any event, it has been determined
to make desperate and continuous
struggle all along the line for South
ern electoral votes in 1896. An i'm
portant means undoubtedly for the
accomplishment Of this end will be
the nomination of Southern man for
Vice President. The Southero
horizon will be closely scanned for "a
Republican star of the first magnitude,
aud little, if any, doubt exists that he
will be discovered.
at is not doubted he might be dis
covered in Maryland. where there are
so many Republicans Of the highest
character and ability, but Maryland
will probably be eliminated from the
range of choice, as being too far
North 1t seems to be accepted al
most by common consent that in the
distinctively Sothern States Repub-
lican of character and position is q
rara avis. This, more or less, may
liave been the case in the past. 1t is
very doubtful whether the proposition
is tenab!e now or has been in recent
periods.
"It has long been contended by
the sbrewdest politicians of both par
ties that the enormous preponderance
of the party in the South would lessen
inevitably with the diminishing signi-
6cance of the race question. "heth.
er so or not, Republican policy will
proceed on this line No distrust is
felt as TO the right man being found,
if, as now believed, party interest de,
mands him, when the moment for act
ion arrives. 1t was affirmed with
much confidence to-day that the
names of eight or ten men could be
mentioned each of whom would am-
ply meet all the requirements Of the
situation. More will come to the
front in due time. These new moves
on the political chessboard will add
gathering interest to the prel:minaries
as well as the active operations Of
the next Presidential campaign.
