mill man, the solution OF the cot
ton mill problem for Texas. No
industry ever succeeds that has to
import both capital and skill, as
we have had to do in the mill bus
mess in the past. Now we can
/ furnish one OF both OF these essen
tials. There are a hundred or
more towns in Texas with plenty
OF idle capital to build a good cot
ton mill, and there is now no rea-
son why a young man from one of
these towns cannot come here and
take this four years of training and
then 90 back TO his people and
raise a hundred thousand dollars
and start a successful mill. We
had to grope in the dark and the
Lord took care Of US almost as by

A. AND N. AND COTTON MILLS.
Annual Meetings OF Mil Men Will be
Regularly Held al College.

A writer in The Battalion conf
ments entertainingly on the recent
visit OF the Texas cotton mill men
TO the A. and NJ. College
!. He says: They seemed greatly
pleased with the machinery and
equipment of the building as well
as the work Of the school. In fact
they seem to look upon the school
with something OF the pride with
which a fond father regards his
child, for, as one member explain
ed to the writer. the cotton mill
men are responsible in large meas
nre for the establishment of the
textile school. II was a member
Of the association who drafted the
resolution inserted in the Demo
cratic platform of 1902 demanding
that such a school be established,
and the association sent a man to
the third house at Austin TO see
that the measure was put through
the Legislature. And they do not
propose TO stop with having estab-
lished the school, but are doing
their part toward supporting it.
One of them has a son here as a
student in the department and
others have announced their inten.
ton OF sending their sons here. In
addition they have offered to give
employment during vacation to all
students in the textile school, thus
giving them much valuable exper-
fence in the practical operations Of
cotton mills.
