The movement Of the cotton mills Of
theEEsst to Southern fields constantly en-
gages the attention OF editors throughout
the country. The Savannah News, II
discussing the farm life of New England
and the loss Of her cotton mills, says:
life IN New England is proverbi-
n;nyiting. The farms are rocky
andSgterile, the climate is harsh, and re-
turns for the filling Of the soil are mea-
ger. Fully one-third Of the year must be
spent in an effort 10 keep warm, and the
remainderof the time to laying aside 8
store against the winter months. The
hardships of a New England farm life
have had the effect Of driving people to
the cities, where there are factories. and
where even meagre factory wages give q
comparatively better return in amuse-
ments and educational advantages, if not
really in the necessaries of lite, than the
tell on the stony farms. But Massachu-
sets is gradually losing her factories.
They are coming south, where mill
streams are not frozen for three or four
months. and where 1t is unnecessary to
burn immense coal piles for tho heating
of the factory building. Her cotton mills
are coming to the Carolinas, Georgia and
Alabama, and her iron and steel a
featuring plants are coming into compe-
tition with similar, though better, plants
in the Virginias, Alabama and Tennes-
see. Louisville and other Southern cities
are now making the agricultural imple-
ments that used to be made In Ameshury
and other New England cities. The mill
are coming TO the fields and mines where
living Is cheap and comfortable, and
where the laborer may work the twelve
months through. The tendency is logi-
cal, and the result Is inevitable"

will he seen that there are cotton mills in
q. These mills have been capitalized at
SIT, 993, 60D aud operate 1926, 629 spindles
and 40,0S9 looms. Cotton mill statistics
show that in the manufacture Of cotton
goods South Carolina leads the Southern
States, and Spartanburg has q big lead In
South Carolina, having nearly one.third
of the cotton mill capital and operating
nearly one.t third Of the spindles and the
looms of the State. There are seven
counties in the State in each of which
the cotton mills represent in the aggre-
gate Investments of more than q million
dollars. In capital invested these seven
counties rank as follows Spartanh burg,
Anderson, Aiken, Greenville, York,
Richland, Union; in number of spindles
as follows: Spartanburg, Anderson,
Richland, Union, Aiken, Greenville,
York; and in point of number of looms
as follows: ~Spartanburg, Anderson,
Richland, York, Union, Aiken, Green
Vile.
A careful examination of the above list
reveals the fact that of the $4,000, 900 in
lima more thsn 5000, 900 are placed In
the Piedmont Region. This coupled with
the further fact that the mills located IN
this Piedmont region are successful from
a financial stand point, proves conclusive
ly that the Piedmont region of the South
is the natural home of the cotton mills,
and that %Spartanburg is in the very heart
aud centre of this great manufacturing
territory.
Ia addition to the list given above the
following companies are now being or
panized and most of them have been COM
missioned since January l, 1896, with the
view ofbuilding mills during the coming
summer:
Clearwater Bleachery, Aiken County,
$780, 900; Branchville Cotton Mills,
Branchville, S25. 900; Beaufort Cotton
Mills. Beaufort, $4,000; Calhoun Cotton
Mills, Clemson College; Broad River Cot
ton Mills, Columbus; Seaview Cotton
Mills, Charleston, 800, 900; Enterprise
Cotton Mills, Chester, 100000; Pee Zee
Cotton Mills, Marion, 100000; Eagle Cot
ton Mills. Rock 81 II; Hurry Cotton
Mile, Horny County, $780, DOC; Clio Cot

Mills, Marlboro County; Hampton Cot
ton Mills, champions; Beaver Dam Cot
ton Mills, MoColls, Sl5O,OOO; Tiger River
Cotton Mills, S~partanburg County, $780,.
600; Woodruff Cotton Mills, Woodruff,
SIOO, QUO.
These companies will invest more than
81, 500, 900. When these build mills and
when the mills in process of construction
are completed anu in operation, 1t Is
claimed that the cotton mills will con-
sumo more bales of cotton than the en-
tire State now produces.

Referring to the tendency OF country
boys and girls to desert the farm for the
city, the New York Superintendent of
Schools asks: "Why cannot orr schools
give valuable assistance in this direction?
Why can there not be incorporated in
our courses ofstudy provisions for teach
ing something OF the principles and phi
1osophy of agriculture? There are many
interesting topics which could be studied
with profit, notably The composition Of
ths soil, the nature and use of fertilizers,
shsrotatior of crops the care and dispo-
aition of animals, the destructive insects,
Tie service rendered by our birds as the
blends Of farmers and kindred subjects,
which, If intelligently taught and faithful
studied, will enable orr boys to seethe
b~rightside of farming and make them
more contented and happy in this work."

THE TINE IS RIPE.

In our issue of last week we called at
tention to the possibilities awaiting Us, II
the development of several thousand horse
power contemplated at Portmsn Shoals is
practically carried out. 1t would place
Anderson in a position to secure more in.
dustries, increase her population, create a
demand for property, and perhaps, within
q few years. slime, cause such transfcrma-
lions 10 the way of diversified industries
as the most sapguine dreamer cannot even
contemplate today.
Instead of abusing other sections Of the
Union which have grown rich through
thrift, application ana a united effort In
tho building up of industries, let US move
in the aame direction, utilize our present
opportunities, develop our natural re-
sources, and resolve to build up our coun-
try through our own efforts II we wish to
accomplish what others have under less
favorable conditions.
II would be useless to cite back to pre-
dictions of the past twenty years, but look
at what is being actually accomplished in
the building of textile works alone
throughout the Piedmont belt, and we can
not help from reaching the only logical
conclusion, that where the greatest efforts
have been employed, the most successful
community exists.
Sumo six years ago the great Thos. a.
Edison, in speaking of the great Piedmont
belt, said: 'iThat here, where available
streams are 30 numerous. and where un-
failing water power can be secured, large
and powerful industries ere sure to spring
up" Now We are witnessing what has
been foretold six years ago, and our most
conservative business men no longer con
elder the utilization of electrical energy or
its transmission problematical, but have
demonstrated their faith in the coming
motive power by taking hold Of the pro.
ject and subscribing literally to the bonds
to be taken BY Anderson.
MOI only Anderson will be benefited by
the development of:eve,al thousand horse
power which will be on the market foF
about one halfof the cost of steam, but
every town within o radius of twenty
miles or more in this and adjacent coun-
ties will reap the benefit of this cheap
power.

ing South has been ripe for several years
past in the Northwest; large numbers

bringing about conditions that will cause
prosperity to smile upon us. Every ril-
lage or section in this County should feel

The Texas experimental station tells
how to eradicate nut grass: do not lot
the seed mature. Stir the soil frequently
during the growing period. The best
time to fight both is between midsummer
and frost during a dry time. Choke 1t
out with a vigorous growing crop. After
one crop is harvested in the summer pre-
pare the land Immediately for another
vigorous growing crop" The plan, it is
seen, is very simple. Choke it out with
q vigorous growing CROP" Bermuda grass
and Johnson grass are vigorous growing
crops. Choke out the nut grass with
Bermuda grass, and then choke out the
Bermuda with Johnson, and the Johnson
with something else. The best plan,
however, would probably be to SOW the
nut grass land with Bermuda and johnson
seed and ~fertilize them well. They would
probably choke each otherout. The plan
is worth trying at any rate, ii only to see
what would come Of 1t.
