THE WEST COMING SOUTH.

The natural advantages of the South
are at last being recognized and the
great movement of population in this
direction is growing and command
ing attention everywhere. The Grand
Army colony recently started at Ashe-
Vile, Ga, by Gen. Fitzgerald and ex-
Governor Northern is constantly re-
ceiying aecessions. The press dis
patches announce that 1875 new colo
nists arrived from the Northwest
Thursday night to cast their lot with
the people of the South.
Gen. Fitzgerald writing to the Man
ufactlrer's Record in regard to the
success of this colony says:
members are satisfied and every
thing working tremendously. Over
500 dwellings are now in course of e
rection, with 5000 of the advance
guard now upon the lands With a
membership of over $4,000 people, we
have passed the question of success and
the only question now bothering us is
to know where to get lands enough to
place them on. Within the next two
or three years, South Georgia, within
the domains of the colony, will be n
perfect paradise, for our people are
going at it with a will, and with the
intention of making future homes"
The same must soon be true of North
Carolina. She is second to no State in
tho TTnfor in natural a5..ap n oac and
offers many superior inducements to
the man who is willing to work for a
living. We are ourselves just begin
ming TO realize what rich heritage
we have in the grand old State. Other
people also are awaking TO realiza-
tion of the same fact and soon thous-
ands of people year viii be crowding
into the State in search of homes

COST or RAISING COTTON.

fine Wilmington Review takes issue
with Labor Commissioner Lacy in his
statement that it costs $22. 80 to make
Il bale OF cotton in North Carolina,
and that the cost per pound is 5I
cents. In arriving at these figures
Mr.. Lacy estimates the average weight
Of a bale to be 400 pounds This, the
Review declares, is far below the mark,
and goes on to say:
Estimating the bale at 500 pounds
it costs just exactly AZ cents a pound
to make the cotton. As proof of our
figures we visited the Custom House
here and took the average weight Of
cotton exported through this port for
the month of October and November,
1894 and 1895 and we found that the
average weight of the bale is just 495
pounds. The same bale, when it left
the farm, must have weighed not less
than 500 pounds, for as everybody
knows cotton shrinks and depreciates
in weight.
IF the Commissioners is right in his
estimate of the $3.50 as the average
cost of the bale, then thecost per
pound is certainly not more than az
cents. This may be revelation to
some but it is fact nevertheless.
