nnl.boro,. Plan n Good Ono.

Hillsboro is to start cotton factory
with local capital. Many of the stock
holders are clerks laborers and wage
earners who pay their stock In monthly
installments. 1t is needless to add that
the factory will be a success and that
Hillsboro is business-like town. AS
long as Texas people wait for outsiders
to come In and build factories, just SO
long will factories be located elsewhere
The cotton mills of New England would
not now be complaining OF the competi.
tion OF Southern mills II Southern capital
had not built them. Let the state begin
to do its own manufacturing and 1t Will
cause outside capital to be invested In
similar enterprises.

Twelve Thousand Per Cent.

New I Ork journal.
The Franklin syndicate In Brooklyn
has come to sudden end. Miller. tho
manager, was indicted. He closed up his
establishment and has disappeared His
face. How the people could have been
fooled so long and Sd thoroughly Is a
mystery. 1t has been said that Miller's
interest rate of 10 per cent week would
amount to $40 per cent year. 1t would
at simple interest, but there was MOTH
ing to prevent its compromising. If the
investor, instead of drawing his 10 per
cent week, reinvested the money In the
business. the returns would amount to
about IL, 800 per cent year. Money COM
pounded at 10 per cent per year, pei
month or per week doubles itself in lit
tie over seven years, months or weeks as
the case may be.
Miller says that he has earned the in
come for these interest payments by spec
ulating in Wall street. II he could make
money for other people In that way he
could make as much for himself. Suppose
he had taken $40 of his own money five
years ago, and had invested it in such a
way as TO bring him in 10 per cent a
week, reinvesting the profits as fast as
earned. he would have accumulated ap-
proximately the following amounts at the
periods named:
In one year ............ $3.50
In two years .............. 163,S40
In three years .......... 20,971, $50
In four years ......... 1854. 1854. $50
In Ave years ......... 343. 597, 3S3 $50
Having thus acquired something like a
thousand times the value of all the prop
erty on earth Mr.. Miller would probably
have been content to retire at that stage
of the proceedings and give somebody else
chance That he is willing to forego
theze riches and put his marvellous
money making capacity at the service of
