What is true of the cotton factory, is
also true of all other staple products
now being raised in the south. For
several years there has been but lit
tie profit to the farmer i'll producing
the raw material. The manufacturing
industries have thrived and annually
increased in wealth.
South Largely Agricultural.--The
population of the South has been
largely agricultural, and has taken
but slight interest in manufacturing
This condition of affairs has resulted
i'll developing a prosperous system OF
manufacturing industries in other
parts of the country. New England
many years ago, gave up the business
Of farming, embarked in manufacture
ing, and has prOspered and grown rich
by the change. We have it in our
power, unlike New England, not only
to develop a magnificent industry
perity our agricultural resources, but
to devlop magnificent industry
through the general distribution of
factory plants all over our Southern
land. l believe that combination of
the two Industries working harmOni-
Ously is absolutely essential in order
that such prosperity as we desire may
be fully realized, and established on Il

Gus farmer should gradually become
in part the manufacturer as we'll as
the producer. l believe that these
small factories could be operated 80 a
better advantage where local capital
is employed, by combination of in
terests the farmer joining hands with
the business men in local communities
and small towns. Fifty. or sixty thou
sand dollar factories are now paying a
dividend of 30 per cent on the invest
mnnt.
United Action Essential.-There
should be more cooperation between
the town and country by which this
highly desirable state of affairs may
be more fully brought about. There
has long existed a certain prejudice
between town and country to a great
er or less degree, which has been large
ly detrimental to the interests of the
farmer and the merchant. We would
like to see those Objectionable features
eliminated from the future conduct of
our business relations. All of our
people should unite interests, putting
their shoulders together, working in
harmony and accord for the future
upbuilding of the agricultural and in
dustrial resources of our magnificent
country 1t is the small factory locat-
ed in the smaller towns, which will
be most beneficial to the farming
classes. Million dollar factories lOcat-
ed in the large centers of population
are too remote from the cotton fields
to bring about that perfect state of
mutual cooperation that we desire so
much to see go into effect.
The splendid textile and technology
cal school, now located at Atlanta,
should be fully patronized by the boys
of Georgia. Each county in the state
is entitled to six free scholarships, and
each county should at least send up
their full quota of students, that our

in contact with the manufactured ar
ticle, which represents a highly priced
merchantable commodity from the raw
material grown by the farmer, the
nearer we approach that ideal coop
GRAFTON of common interests which
should universally exist between the
commercial and agricultural classes.
The wide distance which has hereto
fore so largely existed between the
field upon which the raw material has
been grown and the factory plant as to
render the producer unable to enjoy
any of the benefits which should right
ly accrue to him from the manufac-
ture of the raw material after it has
left his hands. An illustration of the
position which | take on this subject
to cotton, the great staple product of
the South. | contend that the farmer
who produces the raw material which
gives to the factory a means of doing
profitable business should be allow
ed every opportunity of sharing in the
advantages presented for lettering his
condition by reason of the favorable
conditions which surround the estab-
lishment and operation of every fac
tory. The large number of operatives
with their families employed in the
factory have to be supplied with ne
cessary food and fuel.
Local Home Market.-A local home
demand is at once created for all the
surplus food crops which can be rails
ed on the farm, and the farmer has the
best inducement offered for engaging
in the business of diversified farming.
There should be located in every coun-
ty sufficient number of factories to
work up all the raw material grown
by the farmers of that county and al
low all the profits in the business to
be kept at home Let the shipment of
our commodities go, in the shape of
the manufactured fabric. direct to the
consumer Of the world.
When the farmer can pack his cot
ton into bales and deliver it from his
own wagon into the hands of the spin
ner, the fair and just value of his
product will be obtained. The enOr-
nous expenses now paid out to mid
dlemen in the shape of spectators,
and the heavy cost of freight and in
surance rates will be reduced to a
minimum. 1t is estimated that when
we ship three hundred thousand dol
lars worth of raw cotton abroad that
the same material, after being spun,
woven and manufactured into a high
ly desirable shape of cotton goods, is
sold for eighteen hundred thousand
dollars, just six times the original
value of the raw cotton. AS matter
of fact we are now selling our cotton
at n price which does not represent
the cost of production.
Bad Business Policy.-We are per
hitting people in other parts Of the
world to come into our midst, and
through the avenues of unscrupulOus
agents. buy up our cotton at ruinOus
prices to the producer, transport ii
across the waters, there raise it's value

Sacramento has the reputation OF
being the best baseball town in the
State outside of San Francisco. and
as a rule the attendance here is not
much behind that of the metropolis.
Just now unusual interest is felt in the
game, because the Sacramento team
is at the head of the procession and
playing the kind Of ball that wins pen
nants. That's the kind they are accus-
toned to, for this city has held the
pennant for a long while.
This afternoon and tomorrow the
local men will have as their adversa-
ries their old enemies, the San Fran
ciscos, the fellows with whom they will
have to fight out the struggle for the
baseball honors of 80. The San Fran
cisco team has absorbed some Of the

Drowned In the Adno River In
LuzOn.

Late dispatches from the Philip
pines announce the drowning of Lieu
tenant Max Luna of the Thirty-fourth
infantry and two members of his es-
cort, while crossing the Agno river
No particulars are given and even the
date of the distressing accident
is not mentioned. Lieutenant Luna
was attached to the staff of
General Lawton. His death viii
be learned with regret in Phoe-
nix where Lieutenant Luna be-
came well known last summer as re-
cruiting officer for the Thirty-fourth.
The regiment landed in the Philippines
only a little more than a month ago
and his quick advancement to the po-
sition of aide to General Lawton was
probably more on account of his ia
miliarity with the Spanish language.
The Agno river is one of the longest
in the island of Luzon. 1t rises in the
central northern part and flows in
curve southeast and east and north,
emptying into the Gulf of Linguayen
near Daguapan. The most important
towns on the river near which the
American troops We're operating last
week were Rosales and San Nicolas. 1t
was probably near the former where
Lieutenant Luna was drowned. The
Thirty fourth, when last mentioned in
dispatches, was in two detachments
at a considerable distance south of the
Agno and northeast of Tarlac. How
ever, the location of the regiment
would have nothing to do with the
whereabouts of Lieutenant Luna, since
he had been temporarily detached.
Lieutenant Luna leaves a wife and
family at Albuquerque. He was quite
a young man, but had held several
offices of responsibility in New Mexico
and was at one time a member of the
territorial Legislature.
When the war with Spain broke out
he Joined the Rough Riders and be-
came captain of a New Mexico contin-
gent He served before Santiago and
during the negotiations for the sur
render was General Skaters official
interpreter. When the Thirty-fourth
infantry was being organized he was
commissioned first lieutenant and was
appointed recruiting officer for this
territory.
