IRWIN COUNTY COTTON
MILLS AND THE MERGER,

Last week the mill made
.23,343 pounds of yarn on
$500 spindles which is the full
capacity for the machinery, and
about 5000 pounds more than is
expected from day and night
work.
The Enterprise, read by every
subscriber to the Irwin County

that enterprise, publishes for Ne

merger or com bine in to which we
are now about to eutcr.
A correspondent Of the Manu-
facturers' Record writing from
New York, gives some details re-
garding the southern cotton mill
com bination. This has been or.
ganized on the basis of $4,000, 900
of bonds, S7,0OO,000of preferred

and at present includes about 70
mills, but the plan of organization
is made sufficiently elastic to pro-
vide the money to take in large
numb ber of additionalmills, a good

goes without saying that when

degree to the growers benefit.
The financial plan is very
simple. One of it's features will
be to add several million dollars,
all Immediately available, to the
working capital of the mills con-

south from New York and other
northern cities, leaving the pro-

word unlucky advisedly and on
the theory that no man can pre-

of good luck, good management

MISS MARLoWE's VIEWS.

In view of the fact that Miss Marlowe
Is said to be reading play day in an
effort to find one that will please her, and
one that may be put into immediate use,
her own views of what a great play should
be like are worth considering. In Pitts
burg she spoke thus to an interviewer:
Il believe that the great play OF the
future, how soon or how remote would
not care to hazard a guess, will be one
dealing with the question of capital and
labor. OF course, we have some of that
kind now, but they are not great plays.

and besides there are also the distinctions
of birth and of education. OF course,
everyone has an equal chance here, but
