BALTIMORE, July e.--In reviewing
plans for additions to the textile equip
ment Of the South during the past
three months, aggregating nearly $780,
900 spindles, the Manufacturers Record
says:
New companies are being organ
lied and established. CORPORATIONS are
adding to their equipments of ma
chinery, and the additions announced
for established plants are about 10
per cent more than those reported
for the new companies. There Is prob
ably no more emphatic recognition of
Southern advantages for cotton man
ufacturing than the continued move
ment of the Southern manufacturers
to Increase their spindleage from year
to year. 1t is evidence that Southern
cotton-mill managers anticipate no
difficulty in retaining their present
position and eventually dominating
the worlds markets. This record of
the second quarter Of 1907 shows q
considerable increase over that Of the
fist quarter, when but 122.46s spindles
We're announced. The total for the sec
ond quarter is 227,7a6 spindles, which
means the Investment of about $6,000,-
600. The established mills will install
l57,s76 spindles, an investment OF
about $4.o00,OOO, and the new COM
spanies will install 69,s60 spindles. an
investment of about $2.oo0.oo0.

the whole division, and all Of the cuts
were drifted full. The passenger
trains from the western division were
late, and the time card was Of 10 use.
There were a number of trains moving,
and they were all calling for orders.
Collins, the night trick man, had been
doing the pest he could with the stu
alton, and he was a good man, too, but
when l came on at 4 o'clock In. the
morning the train sheet was a puzzle.
No. 4, the through train from the coast,
was received about midnight from the
west, so that when l came to work
she was pretty we'll over the district.
"She had been laid out a number of
minutes meeting a snowplow, which
vas being sent west with all possible
haste, but aside from that and a few
minutes delay caused by slippery rails
she was nearly on time. No. z, the
midnight express, going west, was,
however, v e two hours late, SO that
when Collins left the trick he had
made no meeting point between the two
passenger trains. When things are so
badly mixed up as they were that
night a man does not; make meeting
points any farther ahead than he is
obliged to, for many things are liable
to occur to spoil the combination.
II had been up during the night with
my two babies, who We're Ill, and my
wife was also sick, SO that when l
went to work in the, early morning I
was pretty sleepy. 1t was all my
fault, I presume, even though they do
say l was not technically responsible.

A Model Farmer.
Mr.. Charlie Caskey is
Making this Year--His
Method of Farming.

Editor The News: | see oc.
casional reports from different
parts Of the county on crop con
ditions. The crops in. his inn
me dia'e section, upper Antioch,
are turning out right well. One
OF our rising young farmers, @.
L. Caskey, deserves special note.
On two horse farm he will get
20 bales OF cotton, 400 bu. corn
and nearly 100 gallons OF molass-
es, besides a fine crop of sw
potatoes. And ort OF this croo.
on one of the farms cul ivated bv
himself, he will get 13 bales OF
the above mentioned cotton and
800 bushels of the corn. Deep
plowing In winter and shallow
cultivation, is his motto, and he
manures the crop during its grow
ing season. He manured his
corn at the second blowing, and
only about 800 lbs. of soluble
gaano was used per acre, and not
exceeding 800 lbs. fertilizer on
any of the cotton. Mr.. Caskey
has purchased from the Lancas-
ter Mercantile Co. the old Haeins
place, near Elgin, and will locate
there soon.
Now just a word 10 our farmer
friends: Plow deep and keep
everlastingly at it. Good luck is
the result of hard work and good
management. Don't rush your
cotton on the market, tor there is
a good price in store for it to
those who hold. Join the Far
mers' Union and help to defeat,
the gambling on cotton. There
is bright day just ahead for us
ii we take hold now and push.
So here goes bows, all together.
L..
