Here is some good advice
given by the Henderson Colo
Leaf:
Buy of your home merchant
patronizing local enterprises
whenever you can. The saw
ing of few cents is not econ
omy in the long run. When a
man in any business sends his
money out of town he is divert
ing that much from the chan
nels of his business and it never
comes back to him. And we
are all in che business or am
other even if that business be
the vocation Of a day laborer.

,9,5C0,OO0 Bale Crop Will be
Maximum.

Washington, Nov 10.-The
monthly report of the statistician
OF the department of agriculture
will state thai the mcst thorough
investigation of the cotton situa-
tion that bas been made since
1895 has just been completed.
Special agents from the Washing
ton Office have visited all the
principal points in the cotton belt,
investigating both acreage and
production. Pending the receipts of
the final reports as to picking, due
December 1st, no detailed state
ment will be issued, but statistici-
ans state that on the basis of the
highest estimate of the area under
cultivation for which the depart
ment can find any warrant, %, ,50O,-
600 acres, the crop cannot exceed
100000 bales. This estimate Is
based on the most complete and
trustworthy information.

cotton mills has proven that
southern men know how to run
them. From personal experience
I know that cotton mills of from
5000 to epindles pay much better
dividends than mills of larger size.
AS many years ago the west at
tracted the attention of capitalists
and business men, so now the eyes
of this class are turned to the south.
I can name half a dozen cotton
mills in this state Georgia. having
from four to ten thousand spindles
which show net earnings of from
25 to go per cent. during The past
twelve months. I am stockhold-
or and know. I am now organiz-
ing three new cotton mills"
Let the good work go on. But
Augusta the great pioneer in cotton
manufacturing, must not stand
still and lose her supremacy. II
more mills are desirable in Georgia,
more mills are desirable in
Augusta, and if small mill will
pay as 3 big one, then let US have
some more small mills if the money
and power are not available for
another mill of the King and
Sibley class.-Ex.

Advocating Cotton Factories.

On every hand there is a boom
in cotton factory advocacy, if not
in building. Savannah, Macon,
Atlanta, Rome-every city in
Georgia, and many of the small
towns ars engaged in the effort to
build one or more cotton factories.
"The building of textile mills in
the SOUTH" says that Louisville
(Ky.) Courier-Journal, "is keeping
step with the development of her
iron and steel industries and
converting her from an exclusively
agricultural to a mixed agricultural
and manufacturing section.
The south is too well
adapted to agriculture for this
industry ever to be forced into
the background, as it has been in
the sterile hills of New England,
but there is no reason why man.
ufacturing should not be equally
developed. When that is done the
south will be the richest part
of the nation"
Mr.. w. s. Witham, who is at
the head of q banks in Geol gia,
has gone to booming cotton
factories for Georgia, and says
there is no reason why the south
shouldn't get from $75 to 800 for
a bale of cotton worked up, in
stead of $50 for the raw material.
He adds:
"Labor is plentiful aad cheap
in Georgia. The success of Georgia

Learn To Save.

The abb ity to earn and save up
particularly save up-the sum of
800 by the time he is 20 years OF
sgevery largely determines the
question whether the young man
shall acquire competency for
his old age or whether he will have
to then depend upon the charity OF
friends, die IN poor house and be
buried in a pauper's grave. The
saving of the first 500 involves
all the self-denylng and economic
methods, on a small scale, which
are incident to the accumulation
of a fortune. The doing OF it will
be as hard q financial problem to
most young men as they will tackle
at any time during their lives,
The 500 is not very large sum,
it is true, still the earning and
saving of it makes it an educational
factor of almost incalculable value.
The boy who has earned and saved
this sum has learned in the first
place that most important lesson
the real value of o dollar; then it
represents denial of appetite, a
repression of purely animal tastes
and desires, which develop endur-
ance, patience, menliness; it
knocks the easy come, easy 60,
idea of money, which 30 many
young men have, all to pieces
it teaches him how to say "No"
and stick to it. Then he learns of
the cohesive power of q dollar
how one dollar-how one dollar
will draw othar dollars to itself,
and also of the cumulative power
which combined dollars have over
individual and scattered ones.
By saving $100 thus he will learn
not 30 much to love money for it's
own sake, but rather will learn
to respect money and value it
nightly as the important factor it
is in his own development as a
man. No boy who will read this
item (and a great many willy can
do better or more sensible thing
for himself than to resolve that he
will earn-honestly earn by good
hard knocks-and save not less
than $10O by the time he is 20, and
our word for it the experience and
discipline which he will undergo N
the doing it will be worth more
than s1,0( } tc him III after life
