Georeias industrial history for the
past ten years contains no brighter
mage than that devoted to the records
of cotton mills in her small towns.
The mills owned and operated in our
towns and villages by our own citizens
have been uniformly successful 10 a
remarkable degree, and the pronte
from such mills as have been careiullY
and conservatively managed nave peen
large. The causes OF this success De-
ing more clearly understood than are
the widespread benefits derived IRON
these enterprises, it will be the prov
ince of this article to deal largely with
results instead of causes.
The general distribution of raw ma.
terial and it's abundance, the price OF
labor and of fuel, place both the large
and small cotton mills of the state on
something like an equal basis as tothe
cost of production. The large mills en-
ioy some advantages not possessed by
the small mills and vice versa; but the
maximum advantages are enjoyed oY
the small mills in small towns. A
small mill may be erected almost any
where in Georgia with the assurance
that it will not be handicapped by its
unimposng size.
AS to the benefits accruing to
small town from its cotton mill, they
are numerous. If the mill is erected
by local capital, as it should be, it fur
nishes a safe and re munerative place
of investment for the surplus money OF
the community. 1t also furnishes en-
ployment for large number
of it's citizens. This is often
true of large section of country sur
rounding the cotton mill town. Thus
the congestion of labor In the agricul-
tural districts is largely relieved.
This relief creates demand for farm
labor with a consequent rise in prices,
which in turn benefits the town, for
the country is the basis OF the small
towns prosperity.
Naturally and inevitably the popula-
ton of the small town and its trade
are increased by the cotton mill. The
mill makes the town higher priced
cotton market, because higher prices
can be paid for cotton delivered at the
mill than for cotton on which ship

Judge ST.

From the Cuthbert Liberal.
AS Judge Sheffield has no opposition
for reelection to the judgeship of the
Pataula circuit the fact that he is to
be voted for in the democratic primary
of June seems to have been lost sight
of by our people. Judge Sheffield has
made one of the best and ablest judges
that has ever presided over the Pa
taula circuit, and some of the ablest
iurists that Georgia has yet produced
have preceded him. A Judge of the
law. he has the moral courage to en-
force 1t, and every man in the circuit
who desires the law of the state en-
forced should esteem it a great privi-
leee to cast ballot for H. G.. Shelf

VALUE OF COTTON MILLS TO SMALL TOWNS.

pinp charges must be reckoned. The
effect of this is mutually beneficial to
town and country. The mill makes
the town a better market for all kinds
of tarm produce, especially for milk,
butter. poultry, eggs and vegetables.
1t is not: cable that phenomenal devel-
opment 10 diversified farming always
follows the erection of new mills in a
community.
All the above statements are con-
firmed by the experience OF citizens OF
this county who have been engaged in
the organization and management OF
cotton mills. Walton county now has
five mills within its borders, two OF
which are situated in Monroe. Since
the erection in 1895 of the Monroe cot
ton mills the industrial and agricul-
tural development of the county trlbu-
rary to Monroe has been rapid and
continuous. Winder and Social Circle
have caught the inspiration and erect
ed cotton mills, and our own people
have completed another new one with
in the past year. The building OF
these mills has wrought wonderful
revolution, not only in the volume or
business done in Monroe but in the
appearance of the town itself. From
place of 900 people we have developed
into city of more than $500 popula-
ton. There has been corresponding
increase in all lines of business.
The surrounding territory has kept
pace with the growth and develop
ment of the town, and everywhere the
hand of progress is revealed in the i'm
proyement and progress of the coun-
try. In assigning the cause for this
transformation in the appearance OF
our town the people of Nom oe in
variably say: "The cotton mills have
made Monroe"
So long as bale of cotton is shipped
north or across the ocean to be manu-
featured by foreign mills just so long
will the active need of industrial de-
velopment exist in the south. Until
that condition is reached no small
town should hesitate to put its surplus
capital into well equipped and we'll
managed cotton mill. The great need
of this section today is more mills

GEORGIA 6LEANIN6S.

From the Georgia department of
agriculture it is reported that 10000
tons of commercial fertilizers have
been sold in the state this year against
ATS, 900 tons sold last year. The gen
eral impression is that the acreage of
the cotton crop in Georgia is practl-
cally the same as last year, with the
indications in favor of a slight in
crease.
A bout 800 citizens of Valdosta and
vicinity attended the exposition at
Charleston, s. c., last Friday, and it is
said that besides enjoying the exposi-
tion they did good work advertising
the Georgia state fair TO be held at
Valdosta next October.

A BATTLE ROYAL.

From present indications, and unless
there shall be an immediate and a rad
ical change 10 the situation, the Unit
ed Mine Workers will shortly walk out
on a general strike. This will mean,
as the Associated Press says, practi-
cally a tying-up of the industries OF
the country. 1t will be 6 paralytlc
stroke to business, and will generally
inconvenience the people throughout
the United States.
The struggle, should it come, will be
great in proportions and Titanic In in
tensity. When two such powerful foes
as unlimited capital and strongly Or
ganized labor come into contact 1T is
indeed battle of giants. At first
blush the former has the advantage,
but opposed thereto will be 45O, 600
men financially prepared in a large
degree for the fray, firm as adamant
in conviction, having with them such a
potent factor as public sympathy-men
already Injured to hardship, and who,
though hesitating long, will become
wildly desperate when the struggle
wages warmest.
1t is to be HOPED that the strike will
be averted Both sides hope so, recog-
nizing its seriousness. A fight between
the operators and operatives in the
great anthracite regions is far from
being child's play.

Will be in this great ballot hght.
Where will you stand, for wrong or
right?
We need no microscope to see
On which side whisky men will be
All christian men Will take delight
In voting what they know is right.
The moral scales should balance well,
For one ends hanging over hell,
And oh how sad II in this hight
Your ballot should defeat the right.
Let's Law the candidates aside
And look with broader, deeper pride
ON Georgia-in disgraceful plight
Unless We cast our ballots right.
The widows wall, the orphans cry
Condemn US all unless wetry
To know our duty in this fight
Anu vote for what we know is right
We beg the good men of the land
To stir themselves and take u hard
In this the peoples greatest fight
And let's put down the wrong for right.
We have our choice Of candidates
So far as personal friend relates
But lay these all aside TO fight
For what We feel so sure is right.
God gave US all the power TO think
On this accursed demon drink,
And yet the nations greatest blight
Is caused by men not voting right.
We see this demon in disguise
of human form, with blOated eyes.
Invade our homes into blur and blight
And put the innocent TO flight.
He SCOTS at mothers daily prayer
Where's my wandering boy, oh
where?"
He knows the boys are in this plight
Because their fathers wont vote right.
How long will such war be waged?
How long shall justice 0e outraged!
And all because mer wont unite
On this tremendous moral fight.
No matter who may be your choice
OF men, in this fight lift your voice
And cry aloud with all your might
For mothers, children, home and right.

things have come TO pretty pass
when a prominent divine accuses her
of profanity. That she has been thus
accused is only TOO true. A leading
