COTTON MILLS CLOSING DOWN,

Following the policy of some of the
English cotton mills, several of the Au-
gusta cotton mills have decided to shut
down until there is a fall in the price of
cotton or a rise in the price of cotton
goods. It seems that at the present
price of cotton goods there is no profit
for the mills.
There has been little rise in the
price of cotton goods recently, and it Is
probable there will be still further
rise. There Will undoubtedly if many
of the mills close down. The reason
there was such fall in the price of
cotton goods short time ago, after the
great rise, was overproduction. Dur
ing the time that the high prices pre-
vailed all of the mills were run at their
fullest capacity. The consequence was
that the marked was overstocked.
There is no probability apparently
that there will be fall in the price of
cotton-at least such fall as will ma
terially affect the prices of cotton
goods Indeed, the indications are for
a higher price of cotton. Before the
Texas storm the estimates were all in
the direction of crop as small as that
of last year, and it is probable that
the Texas crop has been damaged to
the extent of hundred thousand bales
or more. In fact, some of the reports
place the damage at much larger
number of bales.
The crop last year having been a
short one, and the outlook being that
the crop this year will also be short,
there is no reason why there should be
a decline in price of cotton.
The shutting down of large number
of mills for time will produce scar.
city of cotton goods, and bring about q
rise in the prices of them. The mills
that have closed Town will then be in 6
position to resume operations.
The price of cotton is higher than il
has been for ten years and the cotton
market is strong It the Chinese trou.
BILE were to be settled within the next
month it is pretty certain that cotton
would advance considerably beyond its
present price. Savannah News,

EDUCATING THE NEGRO.

In the abstract, every man, white or
black, would be better citizen and
more useful to his race if he were given
as broad and thorough an education as
he can assimilate. This may be con-
ceded as truism which cannot be dis
puted. Yet it is also truism, which
experience has established beyond
question, that the field in the South
for educated negroes is limited, I'M
less the educated black is a teacher or
skilled mechanic. Those who have
had the advantages of high schools,
however, do not, as rule, fit them
selves to be mechanics, and labor on
the farms and wharves is not to their
taste. A certain number can be util-
lied as teachers in the public schools,
while some will become preachers or
lawyers or physicians, AS matter OF
fact, however, the negroes prefer to
employ the services of white lawyers
and physicians for obvious reasons.
On the other hand, the skilled negro
workman or the industrious negro lab
orer need never be without employ
ment IN the South. The demand If
always equal to the supply and fire.
quently exceeds it. If all Intelligent
and industrious negro workingmen
were grammar school graduates If
would possibly be better for them. for
their race and for the community in
which they reside. Unfortunately these
conditions seem impossible of realiza-
ton in the South, perhaps because the
grammar school graduates regard me-
chanical or agricultural labor beneath
their dignity. -Baltimor Sun.

Mark Hanna and his patners on

have about given up the efforts to in
duce Thomas B. Reed and Benjamin
Harrison to take the stump for Nc.
KInley. Having failed to lure these
two able, but willy politicians from the
brush heap by siren voices, Hanna has
tried the more heroic expedient OF
jumping on the brush and trying to
brighten them. They will neither be
coaxed nor frightened, and the Repub-
lican campaign, IN the interest of the
trusts, and the Cuban, Porto Rican and
Far Eastern Development Company
will have to be carried on without them.
