many years to come, If ever, con-
sumo in its own mills all of its
cotton crop, but if the future in
crease in cotton manufacturing
can be centred in the South it will
mean a very rapid rate of growth
in everything connected with our
industrial interests.
1.-THE increase of the cotton mill
means the building up of indus
trial towns and cities-the crea-
ton of a home market for the di-
versiied agriculture, thus making
Southern farmers more indepen-
dent than they can in any other
way become. 1t also means steady
and profitable employment for
thousands of bands that would
otherwise be forced to remain in
idleness. No other industry in the
South is attracting such general
attention. While the South has
coal and iron and timber in great
er abundance and more suscepti-
BILE of utilization than. any other
section, nevertheless if does not
have a monopoly in the raw ma
terial in these industries, but in
cotton the South has an absolute
monopoly in production so far as
America is concerned, and it is al
most a certainty that it will for all
time to come be able to maintain
it's present position as the chief
cotton producing region of the
world.
"With the development Of indus
trial towns furnishing a .ocal
market for farm products added to
the very general increase in the
production Of food products du-
ring the last two years the South
is steadily strengthening it's abili-
ty to produce cotton ata low cost,
thus insuring future against for
eign competition. Under these
conditions it is Of the utmost i'm
portanc2 that the South should
devote it's energy and capital to
the development of its own textile
interests and thus prove its faith
in its own business. This will be
the strongest argument that can
be advanced to the capitalists of
other sections to prove the South's
pre-eminent advantages"

CIeOra Happenings.

Mr.. EDITOR: On Monday last
Miss Emma Foss gave her pupils
holiday and they spent it down on
old Turkey creek fishing. I was
asked to go with them to keep the
little ones out of the creek. Miss
Emma having a severe sore throat
could not accompany them. Well
we met at the lower bridge and
fished up to Rocky creek and then
back to the bridge for dinner. We
all enjoyed dinner and then for
fish again. We went up the creek
to Mr.. Steve Morgan's fish trap
and there we found a large catfish
which one of the boys went to
get, and his foot slipping he went
into the water. You never heard
such holIering and it broke up the
fishing and we spent the balance
of the day gathering wild flowers
and playing games.

LAWYER No. 2 Disagrees With
Lawyer and Maintains That
lie has Something Better.

Mr.. EDITOR: In the last issue
of your valuable paper "Lawyer"
suggested a provision for our Con-
stitution that he believes would
preserve white supremacy. | am
satisfied his provision would be
-7z==-.: :------.z7zz 7sTzsS.S151aT al Tor two
reasons: 1st, Because his criterian
does not relate to physical form.
End, Because the courts would de-
clare it unconstitutional as being
against public policy: in that it
would induce baldheadness, which
encourages disease. Moreover,
cuffee would shave his head and
be as much entitled to ballot as
any naturally baldheaded white
man and there would be an cpl
demic of baldheadedness. Isuggest
the following provision as the only
safeguard:
"That no person, white or black,
with thick lips and flat nose be
ever allowed to exercise the right
of suffrage in this State. !"
The leopard cannot change his
spots nor the Ethiopian the shape
of his nose or lips. The courts
watch with a Jealous eye whatever
is against public policy. The diff
ference between the United States
and the State Constitution is this:
Under the former the people
have no rights except those permit
ted or granted by that instrument;
under the latter the people have
al the privileges and rights not
prohibited by it. We have de-
prived women of suffrage because
of physical form; now by analogy
we can likewise deprive men of
suffrage because of certain physi-
cal forms.

have been successful in making a
good crop each year."

Another at Sparta, Ga, grows
upland rice solely as a forage crop.
He plants it quite thickly cuts it
like oats-heads and all-after-
ward feeding the sheaves. He
makes at least 40 bushels per acre
of seed. His cattle are more fond
of it than oats. He considers the
rice a better food, and be can make
more of it than of oats.
In the March number of the
Southern Cultivator is most ex-
cellent article on the culture of
upland rice in southwest Georgia.
Before the war, and several years
after, when we planted in that sec
tion of the state, the industrious
negroes on the various plantations
had their patches of rice from
which they not only added to their
own family stores, but had a sur
plus for sale, and the oldfashion-
ed mortar and pestle by which the
hull was separated from the grain
was not at all an unusual sight.

CORRESPONDENCE
A Strong Presentation Of Edge
: fields Great Need Of Cotton
Factory.

Mr.. EDITOR: I cannot remain
Silent when so important an op-
portunity for the prosperity and
welfare of Edgefeld is upon us as
q Cotton Mill. I do not wish to
assist in writing or talking an ell
terprise of so much Importance as
this to death. But the time has
come when we all must talk lit
tie, and we must work great deal
more.
If Edgefeld fails to get a Cot
ton Mill now, it is doomed. 1t
is impossible to stand still. If
Edgefeld does not 60 forward with
the progress of the times, then it
will go backward. The Banks of
our town, whose s!ock is good
and now worth one hundred cents
on the dollar or more, Will see the
day, unless we get a Cotton Mill,
that their stock will 60 begging.
Store houses will not rent for 5
per cent. on the investment above
taxes and insurance. Lands in
and around Edgefeld will bring
no more than they are worth to
produce four cents cotton. Sala-
ries of clerks will be reduced. Our
schools and our churches will all
suffer. These ar. not extravagant'
ly gloomy pictures, but are things
that we are going to realize before
a great while. In fact we have
already commenced to realize
them, and we all know it. Let ns
build this Mill and our lands in
and around Edgefeld will sell for
four times as much as they would
now; our stores will bring higher
rent (no merchant object to pay
ing good rents, if he can have a
prosperous business;} our schools
will flourish; our Banks will be
benefited; plenty of poor people
will be helped, and those who have
little property will have its value
enhanced. This is something that
requires desperate effort, and If
we all will make it, we will get the
factory.
If I had $4,000 1 would put it
in the stock of this Mill first, be-
cause I believe it would he as good
an investment as [ could make,
and second, because it would help
to do for Edgefeld what would be
it's salvation. | havn't got the
1000, but I am going to give
every cent that [ can possibly raise
and work for it to the best of my
ability. 1t would be better or ue
to sell one-fourth of our property
and give 1t to a Cotton Mill, than
10 miss getting it. If we will go
10 work and do all we can, we will
have a good Cotton Mill running

The Edgefeld ADVERTISER sug-

The Edgefeld ADVERTISER sug-
gests that the conservatives of
Edgefeld court house give an ex-
ample os equal division by elect
ing a town council composed of
half reformers and half conserva-
tives.
If four or five prominent men in
Edgefield village should get to-
gether and agree to recommend
that voters elect half and half,
that would be the Tillman-Barn-
we'll plan. 1t would probably be
flat and ineffective because citi-
zens would go ahead and vote ac-
cording to their individual prefer
ences.
If a mass meeting of the people
should he called and a strong club
should be organized which would
put up and work for Il mixed tick
ct, that would be the "Forty" plan
and would probably prevail.
We presume there ere reformers
in Edgefeld village whom the con-
servatives would be very glad to
elect wardens; but to bring about
that result some concerted, organ
lied action among the people is
necessary.

ADVERTISER can gee exactly the
difference between the Iillman

Full of Hope and Promise.

A number of Eastern Manufac-
tories and mill men have been
travelling in the South during the
past two weeks with view to get
ting the inside facts as. to the man
ufacture of cotton goods in this
section.
Mr.. r. II. Edmunds, of the Man
ufacurers' Record, who has been
with the party since it left for the
South, has given the correspon-
dent of the News and Observer
some valuable and pertinent sta
tistics of the mill situation, which
indicates that there is plenty of
room for cotton mills in the South.
He says:
"There are in the world about
eighty-fve million cotton spindles.
It is claimed that cotton Is the
largest single industry in the
world, and that it has an aggre-
gate investment of about two bill
lion dollars. The South raises
about 60 per cent Of the entire
crop of the world, but has only
three million spindles, less than 4
per cent of those operating in the
world, Southern cotton mills at
present. Notwithstanding the great
increase of recent years, consume
less than 10 per cent of the South
ern cotton crop. 1t is estimated
that the capital invested in the
cotton mills in the South aggre-
gates a little over one hundred
million dollass. These figures ell
able us to form some conception
of what the development of the
cotton industry of the South means
in the advancement and prosperi-
ty of this section. The Southern
cotton crop now averages about
three hundred millions in value,
while if manufactured at home the
aggregate value would be over one
billion dollars. 1t is not to be ex-
pected that the South Will for
