The Day OF the Small
Cotton Mill.

U. S. Witbam, of Georgia, who
has had much to do with the de-
velopment of Southern cotton
mills, says of the Georgia mills:
"Theye is no reason why the
south should not get from $75 to
400 for a bale of cotton worked
up, instead of $40 for the raw ma
terial. Labor is plentiful and
cheap in Georgia. The success of
Geoigia cotton mllls has proven
that southern men know how to
run them. From personal expert
ence l know that cotton mills of
from 5000 to 10000 spindles pay
much better dividends than mills OF
larger size. As many years ago
the West attracted the attention
of capitalists and business men, so
now the eyes of this class are
turned to the South. / can name
half q dozen mlils In this state
(Georgia) having 1000 to 10000
spindles which show net earnings of
Is TO go per cent during the past
year. / am . stakeholder and
know. I am now organizing three
new cotton mills"

We wonder why the New Or

ADDRESS.

To the People of St. Tammany Parish:
as the day OF the second primary
draws to close, my friends, whilst
confident OF success, deem it
proper that I .hould refute . mum.
Der Of campaign lies that have been
circulated by . number Of the par.
ties who are opposed 70 my candi-
dacy, and will stoor to say anything
in order to bring about my defeat.
l. l am charged with being 4
member Of the Board Of Supervis-
ors OF Election in 1896, when the
ballot box of the Ninth Ward was
thrown out and not counted.
z. That I am . drunkard, and
that I drink as much whisky as any
other man.
8. That l have flooded the parish
with money aud bought all the votes
ct two and three dollars . piece
that received, and other charges
too numerous to mention.
These questions Can all be answer.
ed very easily. In the first pla ce,
my long residence of more than six
teen years in the First Ward OF this
Parish, where my wife and five chill
dren were born, ought to answer
many Of these questions, and in all the
bitterness Of this political campaign
there has never been any one who
has ever had the slightest word to
say about me personally, and it Is
therefore clear that they attack me
simply on political grounds.
Now let me answer these ques-
tions, l will say that l was not q
member Of she Board OF Supervisors
OF Election 10 1896, as my commits
sion will show me to have been ap.
pointed June IL, 1897. AZ to being =
drunkard, l will say the man does
not live in St. Tammany Parish who
has ever seen me take single drink
OF any intoxicating or spirituous
liquor at any time or place,
nor does the man live who
will dare 10 say that I have given
him i've cents by way Of influencing
him to vote for me. And
the vote | polled in my ward ought
to answer all ~ 10 the cp,uion the
people have Of me. This epeakt
louder than words, and is something
any man should feel proud Of. for .
man is bes. known At home, and It Is
to my neightors I can refer you a.
to my worth. and not to . set OF lying
aud political schemers.
Respectfully,
r. E. BREWSTER.

The Situation In Cotton.

Spot cotton yesterday reached
8 cents in this market, which repre-
SCENTS m advance OF practically three
cents per pound over the low figure
OF last season. An advance Of fifteen
dollars per bale is . very consider
able appreciation In the price Of
cotton, and means that the South
will receive actually more money
for the present short crop than it
did for the enormous crop Of last
season.
Although prices are now at the
highest point Of the season. the out
look is actually stronger than ever.
Foreign consumers now realize The
full extent Of the shortage Of the
crop, and. Is their supplies are far
short OF their requirements, they are
purchasing eagerly, and must con-
tinue 10 do 90, Notwithstanding the
advance in values. It is worthy
Of note that, despite tue great ap.
probation in raw cotton, the manu-
featured goods trade is still very
prosperous in Europe, and there is
profit In spinning, even with cotton
at eight cent?, in this market.
II is now generally believed that
the crop will be approximately the
same as that Of 1862, namely.
$3.50, 900 bales. According to the
monthly report Of the cotton move
ment. issued BY Colonel H. 9.
Hester, OF the Cotton Exchange,
yesterday, the amount OF cotton 10
sight to date Is still 275, 1000 bales
behind the amount in sight at this
date in 1897, the year Of the 8, $780,
OO0-bale crop. That this deficiency
viii be made up during the balance
OF tue season is quite possible, and
even probable; but no one now
believes that the movement will be
sufficiently large to bring the crop
above the l896-97 total.
According to Secretary Heste:'s
figures, the exports for the five
months OF the season have decreased,
with last year, .909. 900
bales, whereas the total available
supply has decreased 1853, 900
bales, showing that foreign spinners
have not taken their full proportion
of the amount of cotton marketed.
On the other hand, American spin
ners have increased their taklngs
l66, 600 bales. Az trade has been -xs !.
ceplicnally good 10 Europe, foreign
'pinners must be extremely short
u supplies, and tile manner in which
hey have been reaching out for ,
:otton within the past few weeks
proves that they have become
thoroughly aroused to the necessl-
les OF the situation.
The American cotton producer has
certainly had his inning this season,
