SOUTHERN COTTON FACTORIES.
Mississippi is Awakening to the Ne
cessity of Building Factories.

Columbus, Miss, invited Hon. ID.
A. Thompkins, the Charlotte, N. C.,
millionaire, to address the citizen OF
that place as to cotton factories,
and we have his address in print
before us which is too long for pub
lication in full, but we reprint the
most telling points.
Mr.. Thompkins says in part:
ut has been found that the peo-
pie of the South can make cloth OF
cotton quite as readily as they can
produce cotton from the soil. Hav-
ing the cotton at say six cents it
can readily be turned into cloth at
twenty cents before it is sent out
to the markets of the world.
Take the production of an ordi-
nary Southern county at 10000
bales we would have the following
values:
10000 bales as cotton at 6 cents
yields $500, 900.
10000 bales of cloth yields 81, ,OOO,-
600.
If We employ our people for labor,
use our wood for fuel, we send very
little money away-so little it need
not be considered.
The profit to the county is $780,
900.
I estimate the division of this
profit as follows:
To farmers for food stuff $3.50, ,OOO
F" &" +" wood 10000
" stockholders 100, ,00O
:" merchants $50, 1000
public improvements 10000
lawyers, doctors, &c 10000
banks, savings, &C $4,000
OVER PRODUCTION.
The increase of our factories in
the South would not so far equal
our increase in cotton production.
Besides this Southern make goods
are competing and making head
way in foreign markets-notably in
China. In this competition the
mills that are furnishing goods for
export trade are in very prosper
Gus condition.

WANT wRIsKEY TAX REDUCED
|DIsTILLERs ANXIOUS FOR FOR
MER FIGURE OF NINETY CENTS
A GALLON.

Whiskey distillers and wholesale
dealers are making strenuous efforts to
push through Congress a bill reducing
the distiller's tax on whiskey from Sl.10
a gallon. the present rate, to 80 cents,
che figure that prevailed prior to 1894.
Many liquor men all over the United
States are bending every effort to in
nuence the Ways and Means Committee
at the national capital.
4 IL is thought likely that their en-
deavOrs will be successful. and the
United States internal revenue service
lagents expect to hear at any time that
ithe bill has become a law. Not only
among distillers and wholesale dealers.
but among the retailers as well is the
lproposed reduction creating widespread
Interest. The kentucky distillers are
waiting patiently, hoping that the un-
lmst burden, as they term It. placed on
their shoulders in 1894, will be removed
at last.
When the tax was increased the
| Kentuckians asserted and proved that
the old tax rate was sufficient to cover
the annual pension list of Sl53,00O 900
and so unpopular was the measure that
1.-THE internal revenue collectors we're Of
Item in danger of their lives in the puT-
lsuance of their duties. The sudden in
crease bankrupted many of the distill-
ers. as the retail price was not raised

Ii was thought that the new law
would have been operative on Friday

suance of prizes, pictures or coupons
with cigarettes, cigars or tobacco In
any form went into effect. This law
affected the liquor dealers as well, az
fer years the distillers and wholesale
dealers have been in the habit Of Civ

of saloons with each certain amount ol
liquor purchased from them. Clocks
