SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS
SHOW BIG INCREASE,

There was great activity in adding
to the Southern cotton-mill industry
during the second quarter OF 1916 as
compared to the first three months of
this year. This forward movement in
adding to the spindles and looms of
the cotton-growing section during
April, May and June resulted in ar
rangements for installations aggregat-
ing 157, $50 spindles and 1851 looms,
requiring an estimated Investment Of
$685. 400. This amount is more than
double the investment for the first
quarter. and nearly all of it is the in
vestment of established cotton manu-
featuring companies for additions to
their mills, nearly all being located III
North Carolina. The total Of additions
amounts to 94,72O Spindles and 1461
looms, the estimated Investment being
$2s368,000 comprising Is separate en-
terprises. Nine of these plants are in
North Carolina and the other four are
in Alabama. Georgia and South Carroll
ma. All the new companies, nine in
number. are in North Carolina and to-
mentment. All the quarters enter
prises (both new and ~enlarging) are in
North Carolina except four, these being
in Alabama and Georgia and South
Carolina, with 1880 spindles and 131
looms, a $974,OO0 investment The
nine new and the nine charging North
Carolina enterprises have a total OF
1856 %spindles and 1880 looms, re-
Quiring an investment of So, 9644OO.--

SOLDIERS PAY
TO ONE DOLLAR PER DAY.
Letter to Majority Leader i'm House of
Representatives From Former
Soldier of the COnfederacy.

Hon. Claude Kitchin:
Dear Sir-A bill in the Senate to in
crease the pay of our soldiers to $50
per month was rather incontinently
side-tracked. May / address you as
the floor leader in the House in favor
Of the passage of such measure.
1t cannot have escaped notice that
throughout the Union the progress in
recruiting the National Guard up to
the war standard has been very slow.
Our young men are-no less patriotic
now than in all the previous wars,
when they f1ocked to the standards of
the Republic. There is a reason for
this slackness to enlist.
The young men who go to war risk
their lives and their health from pa
triotism as the chief motive. But
when ord-~ary unskilled day-laborers
are getting 81 per day on the farms.
and on the railroads, and in many
cases even more, it is not reasonable
to ask the most patriotic young men
of the country to serve for half that
price, with risk Of life and limb andSin
every discomfort.
OO"C VI. I1ISoO yOuIS WOu nave 1dl4-
lilies, and most of them probably ex-
pect to become family men. It is not
fair to ask them to spend this import
ant time of their lives in serving the
government at half the price COM
manded by unskilled labor. The BUSH
ness interests of the country recog-
nize the injustice for many leading
employers are offering to pay their
employees the difference between the
pay they are now receiving and that
which the government offers to pay
them, thus making a gift to the gov
eminent of the difference.
The only possible objection to this
increase Of the soldiers pay is the
cost. The Canadian government is
paying men whom it sends to war 81
per day. The pay of any command
goes about one-half to the men, and
the other half to the officers. from
General to Lieutenant. To increase
the pay of the men to 81 pc day will
therefore add only about SO per cent
to the pay account, and that account is
but a small part of the expenses of
the war. the largest proportion of
which is for guns and ammunition and
supplies of all kinds, out of which
great corporations make enormous
profits. The men who do the fighting
and risk their lives are asked to serve

PRESERVE HEALTH OF SOLDIERS.

1t is fondly hoped by the Carranz-
istas that our soldiers will die like
flies of typhoid malaria. Our methods
of sanitation will be despised in Mex
leo, and if our preparation are no bet
ter along the border than they are re-
ported to have been at some of the
concentration camps in several states
the hopes of the Mexicans may be re-
allied. Our soldiers are entitled to
the best Red Cross service obtainab4e
and we should spare no efforts or re-
ources to equip u doctors and sur
geons and nurses properly. The great
task Of Col. Goethals in Panama was
less than that which we shall have to
handle in that scorched and parched
land, hot as hades during the day and
chilly to the shivery degree at night,
with poisonous insects vermin and
rattlers adding to the general misery.

THE MEXICAN SITUATION.

The infinite patience and diplomacy
OF President Wilson is largely respon-
sible for the fact that we are not to-
day engaged in an actual bloody wal
with Mexico-a war that would COST
in life and treasure many, many times
he advantages and fruits that would
be gained by the United States in the
inevitable victory which our soldiers
would win. And, therefore, this u
try. all of us, owe him much. Since
preparations for actual war, apparent
ly, began a few weeks ago, public
sentiment has undergone a noticeable
change. When the flower of u
young manhood was called upon to
take leave of home and loved ones,
probably never to return alive. many
who had been ''clamoring" for inter
vention in Mexico began to realize
what the horrors of war might mean
to the country. And reasonable peo-
PIE are praising, instead of berating,
President Wilson for his matchless
diplomacy in steering the old ship OF
state around the danger signals which
the lack of caution might have easily
beset her.
But the Republican leaders and
newspapers will hurl hostile criticisms
at the Democratic administration for
doing the very things for which it
should be most strongly COM
mended. They will do it, are already
doing it, for purely partisan reasons,
as usual. in an effort to elect a Repub-
lican president whereby they may
again secure possession of the relish
sble flesh pots stored in the Federal
stock-room and turn out the Demo-
Gratis" who at present hold positions
in the government service. Here in
North Carolina we all know that few
active Republicans have any higher
ideal than the vsulting ambition to
grab Federal of1ce-that is the sum
and substance of the activities OF
many of the party leaders," while the
ether active members of the party are
led to believe that some clerkship, Or
its equivalent, will fall to them or
friends in whom they are interestd.
Of course there are some exceptions,
and many plodding voters vote the

present, at least, will reduce the
