COTTON IN THE SOUTH.
The Acreage Is Increasins from Year
to Year with Improved
Machinery.

The cotton acreage of the south this
year will not be far from 26.0OO,oGO
acres, the largest on record. says the
Cincinnati Enquirer. Good prices are
expected by the raisers for the rea-
son that the crop of India last year
was almost a total failure, while ours
was small, and the present Egyptian
crop is far from promising. Both the
cotton raiser and the textile manu-
facturer are consequently expecting a
boom. There are now about 100 mills
in the towns along the western parts
of North and South Carolina, Alabama
and Georgia, either built or in the
course of erection. Many will be of
large capacity and business in them
will begin before the close of the cur
rent year.
Out of the $50 mills now in opera
ton there are 46 wooden mills and
about the same number of knitting
mills. The number of looms foots up
95316, aggregating 1899 COZ spindles.
About one-third of them are run by
water power for as yet the south is
not fully utilizing its abundant wa
ter supply. Most of them are run by
steam, while some use electricity.
When towns like Augusta are blessed
with good water supply they de
pend on this motive power exclusively.
Visitors to the south are surprised
at the number of these mills. which
are visible everywhere after crossing

| IN collected by the Southern railway
furnish interesting information along
this line. which shows that there was
a gain last year of 1896 looms and
422.049 spindles in the mills Of the
south. These new mills are distrib-
uted as follows: Twenty five in Ala
bama. A in Georgia, , in Kentucky
in Mississippi. 1928 in North Caro-
lima (Which bears off the honors as
the cotton manufacturing state of the
south). 65 in South Carolina, 9 in
Tennessee and 8 in Virginia. They
make all sorts of common fabrics
such as tickings. sheetings. prints
shirtings. drillings and so on. but
only a few make the finer grades

underwear are manufactured by the
knitting mills and a South Carolina
plant makes art squares and ingram
carpets, while others manufacture al
kinds of cloth for suitings. including
hannels and blankets. AltoGeth her the
future looks attractive for cotton mil
settlements in the south. where OPP
eratives have the advantage over their
colleagues in the north. inasmuch as
nearly every family has few acres
planted in cotton. which they fine
time to cultivate. \ large and re
munerative trade is expected with the
orient in cotton goods and the farm
ers are confidently expecting eight
and ten-cent cotton.

The citizens of Shadyside held q
meeting Friday night and formed q

thieving that has had such full sway
In that village The citizens mean bus

think they know who the guilty par
ties are.
The firm of Rosser & Castoe have re-
ceived number of good contracts in
the last sixty days, amounting to over
$3.50, 900. They will build a complete
water works at Elkins, w. Va, costing
$25, 900. At Gallatin, Tenn, they have
secured the contract for building a
water works amounting to $40,500, and
this week they were successful in Sc
curing similar contract at Takoma,
Md, amounting to $65, 000. This, with
their present Pittsburg work, is keep
ing them very busy, and at present
they have about all they can do.
The political situation in this city
is rather perplexing. The Republic
cans have the majority, and they also
have to answer for the ills and mis-
management of the city, affairs which
is charged against them, as they are
the party in power. The Democrats
have nothing to do with these ills, as
they are not in power. The campaign
SO far has been very quiet, and the
work being done is on the quiet order.
From the casual observer it is easily
seen that the Democratic ticket grows
in strength each day, and from the
present outlook it will be winner.
The ticket is a deserving one and is
exceedingly strong.
This city is now verging on its
most progressive era, and it would be
difficult to predict the prosperity that
is in the future for the citizens. At
present every industry is running and
employing their full force of work.
men. In few weeks the Century
Glass Company will be in operation,
giving employment to number of
men and boys. Also the addition to
the Bellaire Bottle Company will give
employment to about 200 men and
boys. These two additions will be of
great benefit to the city. When these
two plants are ready for operation,
there will be a great demand for dwell
ing houses, which the city at present
is already short of. With all of these
improvements comes the large coal
deals south of this city, in which over
$4,000 will be paid to the property
owners. Then, with all, comes the
building of the dam, which will result
in much benefit to this city and will
be permanent one. With all of these
true facts, this city is surely only on
the eve of its greatest prosperity. In
addition to these facts, there is a per-
sistent rumor that the Bellaire Steel
Company will build additions that will
double their capacity. While this city
was once known as the Glass City, no
one will be reluctant to change it to
the BUSY City on the Ohio"
