Some Of our best business men
are taking hold Of the cotton fac
tory idea with considerable enthu,
siasn, but We regret to see that
Others; merchants particularly, are
holding aiOOf. This is surprising
because no one class is likely to b.
benefited more than they, by the
local prosperity which a cotton fac,
tory will bring. Any enterprise,
which brings money into the com
munity, is Il benefit, to al clasaes
and trades, but 10 the merchant
first of AL, because to him the wage,
Garner goes for the necessities of
life. This good effect has been
noted here in the operation Of the
oil mill. One merchant says he caIl
tell hy his trade if the oil mill stops
for Il single day. How much more
then some other enterprise, like a
cotton factory for instance, employ,
ing better class of operatives,
whose eavinsS and whose expendi-
lures would be alike beneficial tn
the community. The merchant
or any one elSe for that matter in
any sort Of business who takes
shares i'll cotton factory will rea-
lie Oh his investment, even if he
should never draw u dividend on
his stock, though there is not the
reason to suppose that
the enterprise in itself will not w
successful in general and also re
munerative to tho stock holders.
The fact that one local enterprise
proveda loss 10 the projectors is no
sign that An entirely different under
taking should meet with the same
fate. Let us take courage and go
forward, working with unaliul!t!Y
for the industrial salvation of our
farmers and our section of country.

among them, there arc pagans AMI
MA homn,e,ams among them, but as

extent civilized, and as they will no
