SEVEN COTTON MILLS.

Those who have heard of the
seven cotton mills at Griffin do not
know the circumstances under
which they were built. Col. J.
w Kincaid, of Griffin, told the
Atlanta correspondent of the Ma
con Telegraph about it recently,
and here is what he said:
about the time we built our
first mill Griffin was pretty we'll
run down at the heel. The spirit
of the people was tagging and the
town was practically drying up.
Hundreds of people were out of
employment and the merchants
were grumbling on account of the
prevailing dull times. / was in
the dry goods business and had
made little money. l had a
talk with Seaton Grantland and
one or two others about a cotton
factory, and we concluded 30 build
one. The idea was not so much
that there was money in the en-
terprlse, but the object of the ven
ture was to see if something of
that sort could not liven up things
a little. We built the mill and it
paid from the jump. Then we
got up the money and commenced
the building of the second factory.
Before the walls We're up the stock
IN the factory sold at a premium
of lis, and the success that these
two mills met with caused others
to be built. | am not going to
build anymore, for the simple
fact that | have all that | can at
tend to now with the mills under
my control, but other companies
will no doubt build other mills.
The bulldog of these industries
has done great deal for Griffin.
1t has increased her population,
and III consequence increased her
business interests, particularly in
retail! trade.
THE truck farmers, milk men
and every other class, find a bet
ter market for their products, as
the operatives need all these things.
and have money with which to pay
for them.

WAR MAXIMs UP-To-DATE.

The history thus far of Great
Britains attempt to crush the Boer
republics suggests a new version Of
war maxims;
Trust in God aud get the best
guns,
God is apt to be on the side ofthe
strongest positions,
Uniforms do not make soldiers,
nor does gold lace make generals,
After a raid prepare against sn
invasion.
Thrice is he armed who can shoot
straight at long range.
To underrate your enemy is even
more foolish than to overrate your
self.
Men who prepare for battle by
saying prayers and singing psalms
must not be despised because they
seldom take a bath.
Fighting colored races who wear
only a breechcloth or pajamas is a
different proposition from fighting
Dutchmen who wear homespun
trousers and carry Mausers.-POst

A Good Citizen.

The man whose house is the best
in the land, whose towa is the best
in the country, whose state the best
union, whose nation is the strongest
in the world, is a good citizen,
whether he is a resident owner, a
mechanic, 4 teacher or a day
laborer. He will do his trading at
home, even if he does have to pay a
little more. He will take his home
paper, even if it is a size or two
smaller than the big city papers
He will always say coed word for
his own town and every enterprise
it may champion; he will be loyal to
every educational cause adopted in
it and work for the success of the
same in preference to that outside
Then as a reward for all this he will
have prosperity and the highest re-
gard of his neighbors.
