are built to the older mills provision is
made for the production Of better class
Of goods. The steady growth of the cotton
manufacturing business in the South is
due to a better recognition of the advan-
tages of our section. Water power is be-
ing extensively used, and, as we do not
have to contend with the ice which COM
pels many Northern mills to have steam
plants as we'll, this is an important ad-
vantage"
In reference to the shipment Of cotton
goods made by Southern mills Col. Orr
said that a large qurntity was being sent
overland to the Pacific coast for export to
China markets. With the development
of trade with South American countries,
which is of much promise, Baltimore
could look for a largo share Of such ex-
ports.

The present flood is the most terrible
eve known ever in the Mississippi. The
central idea of the leYee system is that if
you confne the waters Of the stream in
narrower banks its current will be in
creased in force and will scour out a deep
er channel. In practice the plan has new.
OF worked. AS a matter Of fact the high
or the 9 mbankments are built the higher
the bed Of the river rises also. The bed
of the river fills in instead Of securing
out. In time the bed of the Mississippi
will be above the surrounding country.
No embankmenrs will hold it permanent
~. The Mobile Register, speaking on
this point, says: "The time must come
that the Egyptian practice of letting tie
waters overruu the land at the Spring
season shall prevail. Unfortunately, by
the time this plan is adopted the river
may be SO elevated above its natural bot
tom that it may seek another ehannel"

A French magistrate is credited with
making a useful discovery. 1t is that
tramps make good soldiers. They are
not particularly daring or aggressive, but
they do not run away, perhaps because
they are too lazy. The French magis-
trate recommends his government to re-
cruit in numbers the better class of these
Migrants. They do not have to work
very hard in thearmy, they get their food
and clothing for nothing, and the chances
are a thousand to one against their ever
being shot or killed in battle. On the
whole, they are we'll suited with the army
life. The plan would not work in our
country, however, where there are so
many candidates for enlistment from the
ranks of respectable young men that not
ore in ten is accepted. If we could ship
our tramps off to the Cuban insurgents, it
would be q good plan.

Presidents Of Four Southern Factories

baltimore Sun, 1DriiL %.

The ,idents of four leading Southern
cotton lu,lls were in Baltimore yesterday
on a business and pleasure trip. To-day
they will 20 to New York city. The visit
ors, who are registered at the Hotel Stat
ford, are Col. James L. Orr, president of
the Piedmont Manufacturing Company,
Greenville, S. c.; Capt. +. A. Smyth,
president of the Pelzer Manufacturing
Company, Pelzer, s. c.; Capt. J.. II. Mont.
gomery, president Of the Pacolet Manu-
featuring Company and the Spartan Mills,
~SpartanDurg, S. c.; Major J. A. Brock,
president of the Anderson Cotton Mills,
Anderson, S. @.
These mills are located within a short
distance of each other, and are in the
greatest cotton manufacturing centre of
the South. Within a radius of Greenville
are more spindles than in the remainder
of the South. The Piedmont Mill at
G%reenville is one of the oldest in the
country, and Is the pioneer Of the bust
ling manufacturing section which now
surrounds that city. 1t has 10000 spin
dies and IS per cent of it's product goes to
China. The Pelzer Mill is the largest in
the South, having 107, DOC spindles. Of

Col. Orr, of the Piedmont Mill, in dis
cussing the cotton manufacturing business
in substance said: "While Southern
mills have lately not made as much
money as they did in years past, they
nevertheless are making a good showing.
Compared with New England mills the
profits are larger. During the last eigh-
teen months there has been about 500, 900
new spindles installed in the South. The
development of new mills, while not as
active as it was a year ago, Is still going
steadily forward. In the South the pro-
p%ortiOnate increase in the number of
spindles has been probably ten times as
great as in New England, but there Is still
room for development.
"Looking at the growth of the cotton
manufacturing business in the South
people forget that in Fall River, Mass,
alone there are more spindles than in ali
the Southern States. There is q pro-
nounced tendency toward making finer
goods 10 the South. New mills are built
with this in view, and where additions

AN HISTORIC LEGEND
