MUST SPIN HER CROp.
Banker Witham Says the Day OF the
Small Cotton Mill Has Come for
the South.

W. S. Witham of Atlanta, who
is president of twenty-seyen banks
in Georgia, has written the Trades
man, giving his views on Southern
business conditions. He says that
until within a few years all the in
sttutions which he represented
were forced to borrow all their
money in New York. Now they
are able to get money in the South
ern cities at New York rates of
interest. In the twenty-seyen
banks, three out of four dollars on
deposit belong to farmers. He
also says that the day of the small
cotton mill has come, and the South
has got to spin her entire crop,
There Is no reason, says Mr..
Witham, "why the South should
not get from S75 to 500 for bale
of cotton worked up, instead of
$50 for the raw material. Labor
is plentiful and cheap in Georgia.
The success Of Georgia cotton
mills has proven that Southern
men know how to run them. From
experience | know that
cotton mills of from 5000 to 10
