OPPORTUNITY FOR CAPITA

To the State Herald.
 see by the Boston Journal of Com merce that your paper has been advocat- 1rB the establishment of a bleachery at Birmingham; and must say this is a step In the right direction. If capitalists in the south only knew what profits there was in the bleachery and finishing busi- liess they would not be long in organizing a company. l. myself, have been trying to induce southern capita lists to go into this enterprise for the past six years, but they seem slow to grasp the situa tion and reap the large profits that they are pour ing into the aaps of the northern bleach- cries stockholders l. myself, am a man Of twenty-siX years practical experience in bleacherW. dyeing and finishing all classes of cotton fabrics from the finest lawns to the heaviest bed spreads and conld erect a bleaehery and equip it ard run it so that 1t would pay from 25 to 30 per cent. on the capital invested. A ten- ton per day plant could be erected and run night and day. thus making it a 20- ton plant with a capital of $50,000 and fhere is work enough sent from the south to the northern bleacheries to keep six To- ton pla nts running steady the year round. If l was capitalist I should not lose much time in starting a bleachery in the south. and if any of your readers want to invest their money in 8 good and safe en- terprse they could not do better than put II in a bieachsry. I. myself. will under take to- raise $5,000 for such a works. Hoping to hear from some of your read e1's. l remain yours truly.

ss = PECK IN FICTION.

Samuel Minturn Peck has entered the domain of fiction. and bids fair to win as enduring laurels as he has in the field of poesy. In Leslie's Weekly he contributes a stony of dramatic interest. With pa triotic motive he lays the scene in Ala bama, al Oakvflle. in the western part of the state. An anna teur theatricab enter tainment, pre ebably for the benefit of the church. is being arranged. It is difficult to arrange the caste. for the young men desire the part of the hero and the young ladies that of the heroine. Jack is asked to play the part of the lover. but as the heroiria is his sweetheart. he de- clines preferring to make love in secret. Nellie, his sweetheart, becomes offended and smiifs upon Ned. Jack gets furious ly jealous and attempts suicide on the night Of the-play. The pistol he uses has a plank cartridge. He realizes all at once that he has loaned the loaded pistol to the amaItsn,rs.

The persistent manner in which the Anrtston Hot Blast is urging that na- tionai issues be ignored in the state cam paign is causing many to stop and con- sder whether this is due altogether to the earnestness of the Hot Blast editor or whether there is a hidden hand that grasps strongly the party lever directing this move. As time advances it might be we'll to keep an off eye on the Hot Blast and read between the lines.

It was hinted. that the operators in the Pittsburg district did not really want uniformity agreement, and that the call for meeting was put out for effect. But they have met with the joint arbitra- ton committee, and Dearmitt is among them. If a uniform agreement is reach ed 1t will be null and void unless a guar antee is given that the rate agreed upon will be honestly paid. The operators of the Pittsburg district have used many devices to keep from paying the agreed rate The meeting should and doubtless will keep this point in view. The miners will no doubt give their honest support to a fair and just uniformity agreement.
