The secret of agriculture is to
constantly stir the soil.
The same is true in a different
sense. whenever the success or at.
attainment Of any object is desired.
| believe that success, in any OBJ
iect, is due, in a great measure, to
the constant agitation of the public
mind.
Keep the matter before the peo-
BILE, it it is a worthy cause, never
give up until success crowns your
efforts.
The principal object Of this arti>
cle,is to start the ball to rolling to-
ward the consummation of cotton
factory in Marietta, and l hope the
ball will grow as fast as the schools
boys snow ball did when he started
it down hill. He said when he
started it, it was the size of his fist,
and when it got to the bottom, it
was bigger than the school house.
The way to get a cotton factory in
Marietta is to build it, and the most
feasible plan that suggests itself to
my mind at present is the INSTALL
ment plan.
One citizen of this city, Mr.. John
Yale, starts the ball to rolling by
agreeing to furnish very desira Bile
site fora location Of the factory as
stock, at Tess than one half The ac-
tual cash value of the property.
Mr.. Yale will sell $50 feet front on
the public street by $50 feet deep
for 100000 and take it in stock.
He also assures me that all the cit.
liens residing and owning property
near the contemplated site will take
several shares of stock, and further
more to make the factory success.
Now, my idea is not to build o
cotton factory equal to the Phoenix
Mills at Columbus, Ga, but there
is no reason why Marietta cannot
build and successfully operate a
mill here, equal to several I could
cite in the South, and increase the
capacity whenever advisable to do
so
My plan is to organize compa.
ny with capital stock of fifty
thousand dollars, in shares ofS10Q.0C
each, the stock to be paid in month.
ly installments of 2 or dollars per
month. That plan would give the
farmers, and also citizens in moder.
ate circumstances, chance to take
one or more shares of stock.
| The more people directly intel est.
ed in an enterprise Of this kind, the
more likely is to be successful. Ar
rangements could be made for the
farmer to pay his subscription in
cotton, besides realizing a better
price than the market could afford
to pay in the future by selling direct
to the consumer.
The site spoken Of is situated a
short distance from the w. & A. R.
R. and easily accessible With a side
track. There is an abundance Of
pure spring water within 100 feet of
the plat, while it is only few hun
dred feet from the main line of the
water works. Nature has so pro-
vided, that if necessary, with but
very little grading, the first story
could be a basement structure.
Now few reasons why we need
and ought to have a cotton factory
in the city. Because it is one oil
the most important factors toward
the future prosperity of our city.
The capitalists need it; the mer-
chant need it, and above all else
the laborer needs it.
You hear the Cry upon our streets
every day, ''hard times" business is
dull, there is not money enough in
circulation, &c.
Why is there not more money in
circulation Who is it and what il
it that increases the circulation OIL
