Cotton Mills in the South.

A gentleman from Atlanta.
who is an authority in all mat
ters pertaining to cotton manu-
factory, tells the Wool and Cotton
Reporter that there is invested
at present in nearly 500 cotton
mills of the South about $685.
ooo, 900.
Fifteen years ago all the man
ufactories in the South, of every
description, had invested III
them $4,000 900, which in ten
years had increased to 66o,ooo,-
900. AS nearly Or fully one
third Of the cotton mills have
been built within five years, or
since 1890, tie present capital
investsd in manufacturing IN the
South must very nearly approach
one billion dollars (I,oOo,o ,ooo,-
ooO).
The Courier Journal, i'll refer
ring to these facts, very proper~
ly says that the South has only
begun to manufacture its raw
products. It's natural advantages
are III every way superior to the
West. In a few more years 1t
will be a commercial absurdity
to sell cotton to New England
instead OF to the mill that adjoin
the fields where it is grown.

4 COTTON TRUST NEXT.
a Genuine Sensation Sprung by
the Progressive Farmer.
To Make Cotton Bales Round
4 NEW SCHEME WHICH WILL RE
OUIRE THE COMBINED Eff
FORTS OF PLANTERS TO
DEFEAT.

The Pyogrrssive Farmer, the
organ Of the National Farmers
Alliance, published at Raleigh,
has the following:
"We have just learned of a
gigantic and diabolical combine
about to be effected to control
the price of cotton.
The plan is to secure charters
and establish gins with compress
attachments at as many points as
possible III the cotton States.
The bales are to be round ill
stead of square. Cotton buyers
wall CO operate and force farmers
to have their cotton ginned at
these new gins by refusing to
pay as much for cotton put i'll
the ordinary way. This will
compel the present owners of
gins to go out Of business.
S'TEe railroads will haul round
bales cheaper than square bales.
The cotton seed oil mills will
like the new gins and compress
es, be located mainly Oh railroad
lines, and the seed men will al>
ways be Oh hafa to get bargains,
as many farmers would sell seed
cheaper rather than haul them a
long distance home.
"To defeat this scheme it will
require the united efforts of ali
the farmers in the cotton States.
1t is probable applications will
be made for charters for such
enterprises in the present and
all legislatures held III the near
future"

country at large, this year, and
we venture to assert that the
pack dees not exceed three-hfths
of an average one, and that, too,
in the face of little or nothing
being carried over from last
season. Most of our own pro>
ducts were sold before they were
canned. or whilst being so, and
the supply left here is a mere
bagatelle. You can furnish
fruits, vegetables, oysters and
fish of finer favor than the east
or north. You can furnish
these goods whose superiors do
not grow anywhere III Uncle's
Sans dolninions.
There have been failures OF
canning factories in the south
It has not been brought about by
natural circumstances. 1t was
caused by lack of economy and
painstaking care and co-operat-
ion. These are Indispensable
elements of success III any bus
mess. The farmer is slow to
plant for these factories, even
when the canner tells him he
can realeze more for the product
in one season than the land it is
grown on would sell for. Let
the Gamers 60 ahead and demon.
strate to the farmers by actual
tests that the growing OF these
products is not any harder to
cultivate than an acre of 6cent
cotton; and that the same land
that makes him in good season
one half bale of cotton to the acre
will grow him on an average
200 bushels of tomatoes at 25
cents per bushel, seventy-hve
BUSHES of peas at 90 cents pei
bushel, or 100 BUSHES OF beans
at 50 cents per bushel, and so Oh
and not impoverish his land te
the extent that cotton does. One
farmer related to me III lndlans
some years ago, when he recelv'
ed a check for $50 for tomatoe!

land that it "was so easy that it!
like picking it up i'll the road

There is another feature o
, the canning business that deser

: the employment it furnishes a
good wages to every class of peo
5 pie, male and female find it plea
SAINT and profitable work. Can
ming machinery costing from
$50 to $500 would give employ
ment to at least forty people
directly and about the same
number Indirectly. 1t is pecul
larly adapted to the smalle
towns and cities. Yes, canning
will pay in the south; you have
, the things which with gooe
management and perseverance
will make canning factories pay
in the south as they are paying

states. I will be glad to give
your people any further informa
ton in reference to this industry

Harris Good Appetite

The novel sight of a man eat
ing, with seeming relish, nails,
glass, screws and other indiges-
tible articles was witnessed a
few days ago by the faculty and
studeuts of the Baltimore Medl-
cal College. The man was Sam
uel Harris, p years old, OF
Syracuse, n. Y, who calls him
self the "Ostric11 Man." who has
been exhibiting himself to the
students Of medical colleges
throughout the country for the
last seven years. After eating
Is tacks,. 3 lath nails, two inch
screw, three inch horseshoe
nail and a portion of a lamp
chimney, he bit piece off the
blade of a pocketknife and sWal-
lowed it. Several members of
the faculty examined Harris
without finding anything to give
him unusual digestive power
Harris then permitted one of
the students to pull him by the
hair, which appeared to be as
strong as iron. Harris said his
secret was i'll the fact that he al y
ways ate hearty meal of beef
and bread before taking an all
lowance Of the other articles.

LET ME REST.

In the land love the best,
|, SO weary, let ME rest.
After toiling, oft in vain
Baff1ed, yet to struggle fain;
After toiling long to gain
Little good, with muckle pain,
Let me rest but lay me low,
Where the hedge-s1de roses grow;
Where the breezc-bowed cedars nod,
Where the old woods worship God
Where the welded tlrostle sings.
Where the young bird tries his wings
Where at times the tempest roars,
Shaking distant sea and shores.
There, beneath the breezy West
Tired and thankful, let me rest
Like child, that sleepeth best
On its gentle mothers breast.
So let lie rest.

4 NORTH CAROLINA KING.
\ STORY WHICH READS LIKE A
ROMANCE.
TNeWberuc journal. |

Two or three years ago q
young North Carolinian named
Hobbies went to New York, re-
sided there some time, met a
young lady with whom he fell
in love, tie passion was recip-
rocated, and the twain became
engaged, Hobbies source Of in
come was somewhat precarious
and not what he deemed satisface
tory upon which to commence
housekeeping and he determined
to seek. his fortune. After VOW
ing eternal constancy he set sail
for Europe and IN course of time
from there he brought up III
Australia.
He there procured a position
on a local paper and i'll his pro
fession displayed so much enter
prise that his employers ii,
course Of time sent him to iuves-
tigate the slave trade in the In
dian Ocean.
The vessel Oh which he sailed
was wrecked and every soul on
board except himself was drown-
ed. He was found insensible Oh
a coral reef by party of cannl-
bal islanders who took him pris-
oner and he was rese-vedsto be
served az a state dinner.
The daughter of the King, a
dusky but comely maiden sought
his liberty at her fathers hands
and used such argt1ments'she sue
ceeded.
About this time formidable
rebellion broke out in the dusky
Kings dominlons, and our Caro-
lima boy, with his inherited war~
rior spirit, advised a plan of
campaign to put down the re-
bcllion, which being followed
was so enine1ltly successful that
the Kings foes were almost an
initiated and as a reward for'his
genius and valor Hobbies was
made Prime Minister.
Tie dusky Princess was very
much in love with our hero, and
did not fail TO let the fact be
known, but Hobbies eloquently
and patiletically related how he
loved his New York sweetheart
and could not, therefore, share
his love or be untrue to his
American fance. The Princess
accepted the situation, but she
was sore stricken and pined away
and soon died.
Her death was a severe blow
to the King, who grieved inten-
sely and soon after died.
Hobbies had in the meantime
become SO popular with these
island people that he was unani
mously elected to be King and
is now King Maletoc.
. The equal is as interesting as
any part Of the story.
A few weeks ago King Male
toe landed in New York, sought
out his lady love, had g. roya
j wedding, and after 4 few week:
of civilization departed for hi;
island kingdom, where, let u
! hope, he may forever reign ii
peace, the brave and &C 'stnturous
constant, North Carolina King.
