MILLS IN TEXAS.
Cotton Should be Manufacture
ell Here. Home Capital
Should DO the
Work.

Texas has 1875 cotton seed oil
mills, with more being constantly
added. but only four cotton fac
tories. This disproportion is made
more glaring by the fact that
while the increase in the local
demand for cotton seed, conse.
ouent upon the growth OF oil
manufacture, has largely advanced
the price Of seed in first hands, the
cotton itself is still sold at prices
fixed in New York and Liverpool.
The competitive demand for cotton
seed has recently forced the price
up to $40 per ton in some locali-
ties and when it is considered that
the seed cotton necessary to make
A bale 600 pounds OF lint will

will be seen how much this means
TO the farmers, to whom only d
few years ago,thc seed was entirely
waste product and most cases an
accumulative nuisance. The man

great industry, employing 2O,OOC
laborers and disbursing TO the far
mers of the state nearly $1,000,
600 annually. Why does not Tex
as convert more Of her staples into
yarn and cloth? The cotton sh'

sells in the raw state for $50 a
bale could easily be made TO bring
from $50 to 800, besides giving
employment to thousands Of men,
women and children, earning good
dividends on the capital invested
and adding TO the general prosper
ity Of the state. The advantage
which the farmer would reap
from it is easily to be seen. If
there is home demand for the
staple it must be met before out
side orders can be filled. When
outside demands are urgent the
price must advance. During the
past six weeks or more cotton has
been sold at the mill doors in
Georgia and the Corolinas at higher
prices than were quoted in New
York. In the Carolinas there are
mills enough to manufacture prac-
tically all the cotton produced
within their borders and they would
naturally prefer to pay little more
/ for il from first hands than 20 let
| it 90 to New York and afterward
have to buy it back with freight
both ways added. When Texas
shall be dotted over with cotton
mills the same effect will follow.
OF course enough mills could not
| be built all at once 10 manufacture
the enormous crop Of Texas but the
sooner an earnest movementin that
direction is inaugurated the sooner
the desired contamination will be
reached.
] II has long been apparent TO US
and we commented on it edi,orially
nearly year ago, that the main
reason why Texas is so far behinc
other southern states in cottor
manufacture is that her people
have been waiting for outside CAPT
tai to come in and build the mills
They advertise tirelessly the mani
fold advantages offered by thei
state as field for the manufacture
of cotton, goods but they do no
prove their faith by their works.
Bryan morning eagle. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1898-1909, 1899-12-31

Their whole contention is discredit-
ed by their failure TO show by put
ting money into it themselves, that
they actually believe what they say.
They see every day published ac-
counts Of millions Of dollars being
invested in cotton mills in other
southern states and think some Of
il ought to go to Texas. But they
forget that some Of the other states
already had cotton mills in success
ful operation and that the outside
capitalists only came in to get a
share in a prosperity already at
tanned. Capital is proyerbially
timid and rarely ventures into IN
tried felds-especialLy when there
are 30 many fields at hand which
have been tried aud proven.
The thing for Texas to do il TO
60 to work Immediately and build
a lot Of cotton mills in every cot
ton producing section of the state.
If you are not able to build large
ones, build small ones. Get com.
petent managers for them and
operate them carefully, judicious-
.ly, and economically. When it
can bee shown that they are pay
ing good dividends there will be
