COTTON FACTORY N SIGHT
1t Now BehoOves Our Citizens
to Show Their Hands.
We MUST HAVE THE MILL

A Meeting Of Merchants and piantcrs IA
Be Held Tomorrow to Consider n p,o,-
| ositioh From nn Espc ricnccd Mill Man
! Who Offers to Take Large Interest.
Our new cotton mill is now an MS.
sured fact If our people will only rally
to its support In their hands and not
ours rests the responsibility of its loss
For months we have lahored earnestly
and well for the establishment OF such
an enterprise in our city, and ON sev.
elal occasions we We're told 10 get the
man who understands this wor, and is
willing to take Sl0, 600 of the stock and
the rest viii be raised among our peo
pie This man we have secured and
he will add $4,000 more to the sln. 600
making 5000, and he is willing TO
bank on its success. This gentI.,,an
will be in the city next Saturday to
close the deal so that the work can bc
started at once that buildings may he
erected to be ready for the new crops
There is not planter in the county
but who should have stock in the on.
terprise for it will not only enhance the
value of his property but it will bring
higher price for his cotton. There il
not a merchant or propertyowner in
our city but who should take AS many
shares as possible IN the mill to yet It
here for it will be returned IN trade or
valuation. There are towns in our
state today eager to grasp the offer
made ms, and, mark our prediction,
II we let it drop, West Point Canton
or some other town no better off
than Greenwood, will get it. Build
this factory we are assured "a Hosiery
factory will Immediately follow, and
with the advantages our city offers in
freight, fuel, labor, etc, on their heels
one after another will lind location
here. There are cotton mills in the
state doing well, are paying invest.
ments, and with the golden opportunity
presented there is no reason why Green.
wood should not have one. Such a
business brings money South or holds it
there, for the profit between the raw
and the manufactured article represents
the loss Of our cotton farmers.

the band struck up Dixie, he was gone,
but he was never halted, for second
more all was in his rear Judge Robt.
Powell the Madison county beauty was
soon brought and int, oduced with his
nose under the wire. He was the
favorite of the pool men and his few
minutes actions before the stand proved
him coming favorite. From his ac-
tions yesterday he shows he had re.
ceiyed splendid training and the one
who gets the stake will ind him at his
neck when he crosses the wire. Owing
to washout on the road the pride of
the praires Judge +. A. Critz could not
start with the rest but that afternoon
he got in the race and was gaining
on the first quarter Lefores grand
charger, James X. Vardaman who the
state sent to Cuba to win honors for
herself has not returned but when he
does, it early his supporters say he
will prove Lexington in the race
Starter Hill then arose and announced
the Washington county favorite,
Judge A. H. Longino, who came for.
ward showing that he was not in the
best condition, but was determined to
win. He was carrying light weight
and showed good attention. The
judge has also strong following
who will back him to the last. Now
with all in their places, Starter Hill
dropped the flag, the band struck up
Dixie. Handkerchiefs and hats went
in air and the pride of the counties
were off. The crowd then disbursed
for dinner and on assembling that af-
ternoon the great Mississippi match

announced, 1t was at first thought
that Yazoo would enter one in the race
the Hon. John Sharp Williams, but
while he showed every good reason
and quality to win he Withdrew and
left it between Allen and McLaurin,
Starter Hill introduced the Lee county
charger and he showed from the start
he was going to hold his place on the
track. Governor McLaurin was then
introduced and though not in good
conditions took his stand and com
menced kicking at the Lee county
