dustry in the Carolinaaas is in part at
tributable to labor conditions and water
powers. 1t is we'll known that only white
labor can be profitablv used in the cot
ton mills; per contra, in antebellum days.
negro labor was largely used In spinning,
carding and wsavinf' in the primitive
way, of by-hand work.
The Caroinas ana ,irsinia have had
for many ye9rs developed valuable we te-
powers. 1t is known that non-ice-locked
water powers are the best and most eco-
nomical powers for cotton spinning; the
best by reason of uniformity in the pro-
duction of a steady power for spinning.
In the tobacco sections of the Carolinaas
and Virginia the unprofitableness of to-
bacco culture, the fact that the soils
which once produced the weed when
prices were remunerative, will not sup
port the white families: that they cannot
be made to produce bread; these together
with other economic conditions have
forced thousands of families to seek the
cotton mills 1t is remarkable fact that
the growth of the cotton mill industry in
the Carolinas and in Virginia is co-eval
with the growth of the American Tobac-
co company. That the development of the
tobacco fields of Ohio. Kentucky, Missouri
and other middle and western states has
aided in the transformation.
Here in Alabama the growth of cotton
spinning has been more the matter Of

it would seem: This years crop is ,971 81
bales less than that of 1911-12, and yet
is an increase of 2047,020 over that of
1901. Striking an average for the three
years past We find that it was 1I0O0 900
bales, at an average price of 1870 cents
per pound
What of Future Production
The production per acre for many years
has varied from fraction below one
third of bale per acre to nearly one
half bale in 1889. Improved seed
more scientific cultivation, which includes
better selection of plant food and study
of soils with reference thereto will bring
the acreage production ultimately well
above the half-bale per acre yield, for
we are steadily advancing to the 2OO0O 900
bales crop, which the world needs and
must have.
The question of the near future is a
practical cotton picker. 1t has been said
that We could not pick even a 15000,00o
bales crop. Well, we did There are two
very near approaches to a success in the
matter of a mechanical appliance, motor
propelled, for picking cotton, but the goal
has not been reached as to the practical

Cotton NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
The story of the south's struggle from
out the chaos of business and agricultural
upheaval, from the shadows of a social
menace. is partly told in the spinning of
over half of the 5.5S7,00O bales taken by
mills of the United States; in her great
oil mill industry crushing the seed; in
her fertilizer factories, using one of the
bi-produets of the oil mills, converting
the raw product into millions of values
During the past eight years the con-
sumption of cotton by southern mills has
moved up from 1.919,252 bales to 2,999, ,559
over 100000 bales increase.

Approximately, Alabama is spinning
one-fifth of her average crop of 100000
bales.
North Carolina Is within 100000 bales of
spinning her entire crop, an increase of
near SO per cent in spinning in 10 years.
Georgia is spinning one-third of her

South Carolina is spinning 60 per cent
of her crop
Texas, which produces one-thirds of the
entire crop. in fact, slightly more the

Any Old Sum TO Pay the Marrying Rarson

AS the minister awaited the prospec-
tive groom's arrival with the county
documents. the party sat gigging on
the floor
The marriage was over when the
now married man stepped up in the
same room to the pastor and said,
Say, deacon. how much do you charge
for this kind of work." The minister
told the man that anything would do,
but the latter replied by saying. Well.
but how much do folks generally pay
you?"
The minister saw the situation and
said. Well Joe Barnum paid me SO
the other day and the Moran people
gave me So"
Too Much Money.
The bridegroom shook in his shoes.
and the preacher added, But many
people give me So. some 81. but you
don't have to give me anything If you
can't afford ii or don't care to-"
There was silence for a moment,
when the happy bridegroom, although
a little weary because of the snancial
condition there arising. said in a very
determined voice, Say, deacon, how
would dollar and a half strike you"
The deacon answered. All right"
The newly married man, just like a
Rockefeller, threw back the lower part
of his coat and placed his hand in the
right hip pocket. 1t was Just a second
when the worn pocketbook came forth.
and as he looked into its several sec
tons he hid it from the view of all
present
He soon picked out a two-spot, and
showing il toward the deacon, said:
Have you change for a two. Deacon
The minister gave a negative answer.
We'll, sir, / allow that you can get ii
changed at the store. Just do that.
and leave the 50-cent piece there. Tell
them that I'll call down for it" The
minister agreed and got the money
changed and the married man got his
fifty cents.
