Payina Cotton Mimi.


Here at Tupeio they had one of the best
paying cotton mills in the south as well
as paying knitting mill. These plants
pay because they are situated right in
one Of the hest cotton growing sections
of the south. builded right in the cotton
fields with the inexhaustible coal fields
of Alabama close by to furnish cheap
fuel. ter
At Amory we found the same great In
terest and here 1t was said to be one of
the greatest sections in the south for
growing watermelons. sweet and Irish po-
tatoes. Yet here found sweet potatoes
retailing at $3.50 per bushel and there
were not near enough to supply the de-
mand. Here, too we found the Messrs
Allen brothers, who are furnishing object
lessons of what the country is capable of
producing under scientific methods of
cultivation. for they are growing pota-
toes fruits and vegetables. but cannot
produce enough for home demand.
Our next meeting was at Nettleton,
where we had the greatest meeting of all
so far as attendance goes. Here was also
shown great interest In many farm'topics.

by some of the veterans of the Union
army, while others oppose it. Their
main criticism of the plan is that it
federate flag and thus arouse animosi-
ties which are now generally buried
and which will remain so if no occa-
sion is given for re%surrecting them.
They fear that such a peace nye
ton as proposed might defeat the very
object for which it would be held.
On the other hand, those who sympa-
thize with the plan of General King
hold that much good would come from
such a gathering of the men who
fought each other forty years ago.
General King is one of the best
known of the veterans of the civil wal
and is in much demand at meetings of
old soldiers, as he is well versed in the
history of the war and is gifted as uu-
thor and speaker. He has always been
active in keeping up the memories that
pertain to the struggle for the preser-
walton of the Union. He was born in
Portland, Me-, in 1887 and graduated
from Dickinson college, Pennsylvania,
In 1858. He was admitted to the bar in
New York in 1861 and the next year
entered the Union army, leaving it in
1865 with the brevet of colonel. He
has also received the medal of honor
which congress grants on account of
deeds of conspicuous heroism and is a
member of the Medal of Honor legion.
General King has been successful as
lawyer. journalist and lecturer and
has talent also as a musical composer.
He was associate editor of the New
York Star and publisher at one time of
the Christian Union, later called the
Outlook. He also published the Chris
tian at Work. He is the author of va
historical works.
