BISHOP GALLOWAY.
Imphatically Denies that He is to Succeed
the Late DIR. Curry.

Memphis. Bishop G. B. Galloway
of the M. E. church, South, has de-
MED that there has been an official
tender made to him of the post of
secretary of the Henry Slater fund,
held by the late DR.. J. L. M. Curry.
Bishop Galloway said that he pre-
sumed the rumors of his probable
appointment to succeed DR.. Curry
were doubtless due to the fact that
he was member of the board of di-
rectors of the Slater fund and that
his views on the question of the ed
ucation of the negro were generally
understood throughout the South.

PLAN TO FORM COT
TON MILL COMBINE
A Most Important Item in South.
ern Manufacturing Interests.
COMPANY HAS 100000 CASH.
And at Present 20 Mills are Represented
While Others are " Under Scrutiny
With View to Purchase. ".--Financial
Plan Outlined.

Baltimore, Md.-A correspondent
of the Manufacturers Record writ
ing from New York gives some de-
tails regarding the Southern cotton
mill combination. This has been Or
gained on the basis of $4,000, 900 of
bonds. $4,000 of preferred and
100000 of common stock, and at
present includes about 20 mills, but
the plan of organization is made suf-
fciently elastic to provide tie
money to take in large number of
additional mills, good mary of
which are now under investigation.
The company will have $4,000, 900
cash in it's treasury and contem-
plates the establishment of finishing
plants and the handling of the en-
tire business on such a basis as to
reduce the cost of production and
the marketing of cotton goods as
much as possible. AS this combina-
ton put about $6,000,000 of fresh
capital into the cotton mill interests
OF the South. 1t is regarded by
many as one of the most important
steps which have beer taken in the
textile development of the South.
''From a commercial aud indus
trial point of view this merger may
be considered the most important
Southern transaction that has up to
this time beer closed. It means the
introduction of modern economical
methods, access to the worlds
mony markets, as well as labor
saving and money saving mechan-
ism. reaching the worlds cotton
goods markets. and. what is of more
Importance. ability to employ the
best business talent afforded by the
worlds best brains markets. Every
one at all familiar with the history
of cotton spinning in the South
knows that the greatest dific'
many Southern cotton mills
We had to contend with has been
of working capital. Many mills
lat on their merit were entitled to
all credit they required in buying
raw material and carrying stock
have been unable to obtain it ex-
~cept at exorbitant rates of interest,
by reason of remoteness from the
money centers; and another great
difficulty has been that in hard
times the isolated mills were abso-
lutely at the mercy of the middle
men in fihdinsg a market for their
output. That the Southern mills,
Handicapped by all these difficulties
have with few exceptions been able
to pay dividends is demonstration
of the extent of these inherent and
inalienable advantages which nat
ural conditions vouchsafe.
1.-THE financial plan is very sim
pie. One of it's features will be to
add several million dollars, all i'm
mediately available, to the working
capital of the mills concerned. This
will come into the South from New
York and other Northern cities,
leaving the properties intact and in
actual possession of the original
owners. who will continue to control
the majority of the company's Sc
curities. A strong underwriting
syndicate in which may be found
names that are seldom found outside
of the very largest enterprises,
standing pledged to provide all the
cash Required in perfecting the or
ganization.
