year upon their capital stock, or
enough to give stockholders divi-
dend of 20 per cent. after allowing
for wear and tear and new machin-
cry. These figures include income
from all sources, including the rental
OF property owned by the company.
The inducements TO construct
mills have resulted in possibly
score of small plants being built ON
the installment plan. In the vicinity
OF Gastonia, N. c., are several of
this character, in which the opera
tlvcs are also stockholders. For in.
stance, 100000 company would
be organized, divided into 1000
shares of 500 each, each share
holder being allowed to pay at the
rate of fifty cents to SO per week
per share, tho idea being to have the
stock fully paid up at the end of
two or three years. AS soon as
$50, 1000, or enough had been accu-
mulated to start work, contracts
would be let for certain portion of
the mill building. Possibly it would
be finished off and small amount of
machinery installed and started, the
balance of the machinery being
added as subscriptions were made to
the capital stock. Thus employees
were actually helping to pay for the
plant out of the proceeds of the
wages received from the company.
The plan followed is quite similar to
that pursued by building and loan
associations.
at present the mills in the South
are manufacturing II per cent of the
cotton produced in the United
States, which represents nearly 70
per cent of the worlds production.
The home consumption of Southern
cotton is rapidly increasing, as might
be imagined, from the activity in
mill building, and calculations have
been made that at the present rate
OF progress fully 100000 bales will
be converted into yarn and cloth in
l90l by the plants in the section
referred to or three times the present
amount.

i'm on sight in inch ov his wuthless
life, sub hoss- whup i'm, sub !"
A few weeks afterward the county
court was in session and since Cesar
and the colonel would probably
meet there, great excitement pre-
vailed. AS expected they were both
in town when court convened, and
both were surrounded in different
parts of the village by pretended
friends, many of whom were lineal
descendants of Ramsey Sniffies.
From the middle Of the colonel's
group came continually these words
GLOSS whup i'm, sub; boss whup
i'm"
"C;csar was advised to leave town
20 prevent trouble. He replied:
'H1round's too wet tew plow, ur
else wouldn't ov a had time to do
town-goin' to-day. But my boss
needs some copperas an l thought
ez how I'd git some kalikcr an
fixin's fer the old lady, SO cum. Ef
cunel wants tew sec me Pm hyur
eff he don't, he's welcome tew look
'tother way"
Finally they met and the colonel
cut Caesar across the face with his
whip. There was sudden whirl-
ing of arms and legs. The first stu
alton distinctly realized was the
colonel on his back ten feet away
and Caesar sitting astride him hold
ing his hands.
When the colonel was let up he
said:
"Gimme ych hand, Snipe. The
rooster what kin fl Sam Suggs thet
quick is suttonly welcome to marry
his dartcr."
"MIuch ableeged, cunnel, an I've
got to be a-gwine now, COR Sapho's

The first little Snipe was named
Samuel Suggs.

THE MODERN SAPH0 AND
CICERO CAESAR SN|PE
Written by James d. Massey for The Kcowcc Courier

cred himself and family far above
the common herd, and determined
that his daughter should be woman
of culture, such as would amaze the
humber folk of the community.
Accordingly Sapho had been sent
away to a seminary for young ladies,
where she passed some years and
accumulated an amount and variety
of ignorance that was truly astonish-
ing. There she had acquired all of
the tidgets and frills which she called
fashionable, and which her more
sensible neighbors called foolishness.
1t was shortly after her return from
that institution of learning that this
little romance began.
One bright day in September
Caesar saw Sapho on the roadside
trying to shake down some musca-
dimes. That gallant gentleman, put
ting forth more physical effort than
he had ever attempted before in his
life Of thirty odd years, climbed the
whiteoak sapling on which the mus
cadinc vines were clustered and
gather for the fair one a basket of
their luscious fruit, which he pre-
sentcd to her with bow that would
have done credit to any knight Of
old. In response to this courtesy
Sapho smiled swcctly, and the fate
of Caesar was sealed.
"lIf ycw hcv hankerin' after
