Turkish towels and other fine goods. They
do beautiful coloring, and this notwith-
standing that the cotton men of New Eng
land used to claim that the south could
never do fine work, because the southern
streams Were muddy and would not bleach
the goods properly. This is The case with
many of the streams, but the Swift mills
got over this by bleaching their water
Columbus is on the ChattahOochee river
the water of which is something like pea
soup. This is the water used for eachrng
the goods. 1t is clarified by running it into
an enormous tank and then putting a little
alum in it. The tank contains 10000 gal
Ions of water. and it is filled every after
noon. Into it at intervals every week is
dropped about forty pounds of alum. This
precpita ties the dirt and makes the water
as clear crystal, and the cost. all told
is not more than 80 cents per week.
Another great cotton making center in
Georgia is the city of Augusta. 1t has
twelve factories. with q capital stock of
more than $1,WD.t.n 1t pays out more
thGn S',Mn.'Hr, year to its factory en-
pioyes, aud during the hardest of times its
mills nave H6en running at fuIl speed AMI
paying full wages. They have all along
raid dividends of . per cent and upward.
and they are making big money today.
Some of these mills make shectjngs and
different kinds of fine colorei goods. Some
of the Augusta cotton goods go to England.
and part of their output is sold in Boston.
one of the reasons the south can make
money in manufacturing is that there are
practically no labor organizations here.
Trades Imicns are almost unknown. There
are nut few strikes and you hear no talk of

year, and they give employment to thou
sands of people. The Eagle and Phoenix
factories there have eighteen hundred
hands, and they use fifty bales Of cotton
every day. These mills paid good divi-
dends for years. and since their organiza-
ton they have doubled their capital stock.
They ship tickings to Canada and other
parts of the north, and they compete with
the New England mills, am told, in the
different markets. 1t is said that the
Swift mills of Columbus made more than
IL per cent above the dividends of per
cent which they declared last year. or a
profit Of about 10 per cent on their invest
ment. These mills make cheviots. dem
inns. hickory stripes, fancy skirtings
and other goods Of like nature. They make

The company which owns these two mills
has other factories at Pacolet. within a
few miles of here. and when the ncS mill
is completed their pay roll Will be about
10000 Fer month. At Pacolet they have
built a town for their factory employees.
1t is much like Pullman, near Chicago
and is managed much the same way. The
President tells me that their laborcrs are
as good as any You can find in the Union,
and says that his worknlen equal to
any OF the north.
Now that Mckinley is elected there will
he an enormous increase in cotton mann
fGcture iii the south. New mills have been
going up steadily during the hard times.
Within the past five years more than S6n,-
eH.n0 have been invested in southern fac
tories for the making of cotton goods This
is an ave"osa of more than a million COL

Georgia has mills which are making all
kinds Of cotton goods. These southern
mills are surrounded by che cotton fields,
and the cotton is brought almost directly
from the plants to the factory. The mills
here are shipping goods to China and tie
output Of manufactured cotton is steadily
Increasing. l find in fact. that times
rot at all bad in the south. This section
of our country is growing as a manufacture

manufacturing of different kinds amounts
to more than s1o".To.o'" every month. y
l.rge part of this product is made up of
cotton. and dis:nteres;ed parties tell me
that the business is still in its infancy.
Zig Money in Cotton.
I find 1T very hard TO get the mill men 70
give any information about the cotton
business. They don't seem to want the
rest of the United States to know how
much money they are making. and they do
what they can to keep other factories from
coming south. The truth is, there are few
businesses in the United State, which are
paying so well that of the cotton fac
tories. Such mills as are ordinarily we'll
managed are making all the way from to

pany to build these mills. 1t is safe to say
he is now very close to being millionaire
and his salary as president of the works
is, / am told. greater than that of the
chief justice of the United States He very
kindly had me shown through his mills,

He told me that the China trade was be-
coming a great one for our cotton mills,
and if our Chinese exports We're entirely
cut off. some of the mills would not be
working. He complained about the low
freight rates which were awarded to the
New England mills, by the ships which
carry the Texas cotton from Galveston
and gave me to understand that the COM
petition in making cotton goods was be-
coming so great that 1t would hardly raw

farms. 1t is largely made up of what used
to be called the poor white trash. of people
who are accustomed to living off of little,
and who did not see 80 bill from one
years end to the other. 1t was like the
millennium for these persons to get their
wages regularly twice a month. and they
are happy in their work, although their
pay Is much less than that of the northern

Old domestic. who thinks that his dull ears

the play is over.
1t Is all very clever. but apart from the
genius involved in the planning 1t Is hard
work of the bitterest and severest sort.
For nearly two hours the man is doing a
half dozen things at time. TO keep it all
straight and to avoid all mistakes would be
enough, one would think, to drive a man
crazy. To WELD a pick and shovel twelve
hours day would seem a small task in
comparison.

have all gone on a strike. and Fregoli. the
manager, agrees to give the whole show

parts and proves himself far above the
average along many different dramatic
lines.
His Official Family.
fregoli Is a young Roman, twenty eight
years of age. Sitting In an upper box
last evening was a beautiful Italian lady,
handsomely costumed and wearing beauti-
full jewels. 1t was Mrs. Fregoli She was
the only person in the theater who did not
look interested. Fregoli has fifteen people
in his official family. There is one woman
who works all day long repairing he ccs-
tunes which Fregoli tears or soils during
the evening. The pianist, who furnishes
the music from behind the scenes, is a
Weil-known Roman music teacher. Freq oil
even has with him young Italian Journal
1st who keeps the home newspapers ac-
quainted with his successes on This side of
the Atlantic. They all seem passionately
devoted TO the young actor. and almost all
OF them have been associated with him
Tor a number of years. They speak of
themselves as members of his family and
the best of feeling prevails behind the
scenes. Their constant fear is that their
ideal will break down under the :remend-
Gus strain TO which he is subjected. AS
one OF them said to The Star man last
evening: Our good friend is already in n
bad way He does not eat, he does not
sleep. He IS getting very thin, and for
TWO months he has been in fever All
day long he works about the theater f wing
up electrical devices of his own invention.
why, some days it costs US as much as $40
to supply Mr.. Fregoli with his toys All,
but now can any man sing with four voices
forever! HOW can any man do SO ouch
work as that and keep il up for long? IT
Is too bad. He is the most lovely man
that ever lived. He is great. He is a
