Hard times strikes different kinds
Of business at different times. III
we have a variety, while one is de-
pressed another will probably !
flourish. As il is nov, when dis
aster strikes the farmer on cotton,
it strikes everybody ON everything.
If we had industries, the farmer
himself would be more independ- |
ent. When his cotton is knocked
out, he can grow something else
for market.
The cotton planters in the Mis-.
sissippi valley are now building
cotton mills. The repeated disas-
ters to their crops and the low
price Of cotton have forced them to
look TO something else for invest
ment for part Of their means.

time since reported the following
facts concerning the present move
ment in that direction:
Ruston, La, is considering the
cotton factory question, and W. J.
Everette and B. +. Thompson are
the leaders.

question, and there is already a
three-story brick building erected
many years ago for this purpose.

cause.
