Sticking: to the Point.
A friend of mine, who was in busi-
liess, and in need of a clerk, advertised,
but out of the whole number of those
who presented themselves, only one
shut the door tight as he went out of
the office. This one was immediately
called back and employed.
A little while afterward another
friend, a successful lawyer, advertised
as follows:

one seemed silently pitying the poor,
afflicted family. But one boy sat un
moved through the whole story, and
aid nothing. And now that the nar
rative was finished, and a pause had
come, he deliberately looked into J£r.
Smith’s face in a straight-forward man-
ner, and asked—
“ Did he hit the owl?”
This was the youth that stuck to the
point, and the one that the lawyer se

simply been manufactured for effect.

It was the conviction of my friend
thnt what is most desired in a lawyer
is a certain cool judgment which holds
on to the main point in a given case
and allows no sid: issues to warp the
mind from its anchored position,
have often heard him say, “ In the
end, the lawyer who, having hit the
rail on the head, keeps driving it in
until it is countersunk in the conviction
of both judge and'jury, is the leader
who succeeds best at the bar of justice
I always select for my students such
young men as have this quality, and
almost invariably find it lodged in
minds that are incline J to stick to the
point.”
On the day following the publication
of the above notice, Mr. Smith had in
the forenoon a dozen applicants in per
son. He bade them wait his pleasure;
then when they were all seated around
him, he addressed them as follows:
“ Before we proceed to bu siness, my
young friends, I wish to tell you
story.”
Of course no one objected to this.
“ On Deacon White’s barn,” began
Mr. S., “theie perched one evening
an owl. The Deacon was slightly su
perstitious, and not fancying the hoot
ing of the lugubrious visitant, he took
his gun, stole out softlv, got within
range, leveled his gun at the ominou
intruder and fired. Now, the bar
was oltl and full of cliineks and hole
and it being n very dry time, the trench
crons wadding immediately set fire to
the hay inside, and in an instant die
entire-fabric was in flames.
“ O dear ! dear !” cried the deacon
“ how can I release all my cows, oxen
and yearlings, anti my sheep and horses,
in season to save them ?” for the wind
was high, and, as it always happens,
I increased in freshness a : ; the fire gained
in fury.
“ Help! help 1" he shouted.
“ Did the folks hear him in the
house asked Alfred (I shall call the
applicants by their Christian names)
“ Not direotiy,” said Mr. Smith.
“ The deacon lost no time in getting
out the cattle. He found them frantic
with terror and unmanageblc. While

the latter suddenly turned his horn:
and pierced him. ‘I’m gored! I
gored !’ he exclaimed, just as his terror-
stricken wife came to the rescue.”
“Did he die?”
“ He was injured seriously,” resumed
Mr. Smith. “ Feeling feint he was
obliged to go and lie down. The wo
man ran for a doctor. When she re-
tuin'd, the piteous bellowing of the
tortured and dying cattle fell on her
ears. The thrilling thought quickly
struck her, was her husband possibly
in the burning ruins ? Had he ven
tured beyond his strength again, and
fallen a helpless victim ?”
“ O, my husband! my husband!”
“ Did he answer?” inquired Charley,
with anxious face.
Was he in the fire?” asked David.
There was no reply,” continued
Mr. Smith, “ save from the crackling
timbers and moans of the doomed ani
mals. Presently she hears the voice of
her only son among the flames.”
“ Help! help 1” he cried.
“ The mother’s heart was ready to
break. She hastened to rescue her
darling boy.”
“ Did she save him ?”
“ O. I hope she didn’t get burned
herself,”, said Frank.
“ Please tell us, sir, whether they
were burned to death,” pleaded Grant.
“ Well,” resumed Mr. Smith, “ the
poor deacon died of his wounds.”
“ Too bad,” said Henry. “ He was
a brave man.”
“ And his son was badly burned. 1
“ O, awful 1” exclaimed Isaac.
“Andthe widow’s clothes caught
fire, but, luckily, one of the neighbors
(there were none living veiy near) ar
rived at the scene of destruction just in
season to extinguish the flames.”
“Good! good!” exclaimed James.
“ He threw the buffalo iu the wagon
over her, I suppose?”
“ You are right,” ssid Mr. Smith.
“ And lie released one of the best
horses.” .
“Was he burned at all * asked
Karl.
“ Only a little scorched," said Mr.
Smith.
And so the narrator went on until
he had depicted the consequences in op s *
detail of the sad event. Then lie paused.
His audience was silent—their syrapa-
ness of selling goods instead of cotton.

‘lemon who is rather given to story-tel
ling, relates the following:
When I was a young man I spent
several years in the South, residing
for a while at Port Hudson, on the
Mississippi River. A great deal of
litigation was going on there about
that time and it was not always an easy
matter to obtain a jury. One day I
was summoned to act in that capacity,
and repaired to court to get excused
On my name bang called I informed
his honor, the Judge, that I was not a
tree-holder, and therefore not qualified
to serve.
“I am stopping for the time being at
Port Hudson.”
You boardat thehotel, I presume?’
I take uiy meals there, but jjjOje
rooms in another part of the town where
lodge.”
“So you keep bachelor’s hall?”
“Yes, sir.”
“How long have you lived in that
manner ?”
“About six months."
“1 think you are qualified,” gravely
remarked the Judge; “for I have never
known a man to keep bachelor’s hall

not dirt enough in his room to make
him a freeholder! The Court does not

tent argument in behalf of foreign in
vestments and Northern emigration.
Northern and foreign capitalists will be
forced eithpr, to avail themselves of our
superior facilities for manufacturing
purposes, or in a large measure, sur-
This is a question of prime import
ance. The present and future prosper
ity of the South demands its solution.
Through the free use of fertilizers our
cotton supply begins to exceed the de
mand ; and, a= a legitimate result, the-
profits of planting are on the wane.—
The high price of labor, the heavy out
lay for fertilizers, with the low price of
cotton, 6its on his breast like a night
mare, and disturbs the farmer's slum
bers. The peace of Europe will not
bring the desired relief. It is not the
tread of hostile armies that appreciably
lowers the price of cotton. The open
ing compared with the ruling price may
be merely nominal. It cannot be shown
that war causes the preseut depression,
then ’twere folly to expect peace to pro
duce a rebound. England and Amer

tions, are still pursuing their peaceful c
the South, os 'no nation of people, if
we avail ourselves of recent improve
ments, can successfully compete with
us.
We will now proceed to present, un
der oue view, the practicability and
profitableness of the manufacturing en
terprises to the people of the Cotton
States. The work can be done either
by individuals or by firms. Where
large mills cannot be built, then small
ones may. And I will just here assert
excuse you.
A Most Delightful Man.—Mad
ame tie Stael was a pitiless talker.
Some gentlemen, who wished to
teach her a lesson, introduced a person
to her, who, they said was a very learn
ed man. The blue-stocking received
him graciously; hut, eager to prodee
an impression, began to talk away,
and asked a t h >u -and questions, so
engrossed with hcrsel that she did not
notice that her visitor mauJe no reply.
When the visit was over, the gentlinen
asked Madame de Statel how she liked
their friend. “A most delightful man 1”
was the reply; “what witand learuingi”
Here the laugh caiue in—the visitotr
was deaf and dumb.
Rubbing the hands after doing a
day’s washing with a handful of fine
salt, takes out that withered look and
all the soreness. This is worth rc-
memliering, as all know the discomfort
of stiff, clumsy hands.
Here are two small jokes about the
river, which gives its name to the port
ofLiverpool:—A wag crossingto Wood-
side Ferry, aud observiug the rnud-
diness of the water, remarked that
Shakespeare was quite correct in stmt. *
ing that “the quality of Mersey is not
stained.” A Liverpool pilot, adrift is
the Irish Sea during a dense fog, is
said to have fervently uttered two lines
from a well kuown hymn:—
“That Mersey I to others showed,
That Mersey show to me.”
A few nights' ago, Mr. Bodkin—
who had been out taking his glass aud
pipe—on going home late, borrowed an
umbrella, and when his wife’s tongue
was loosened, he sat up in bed and
suddenly spread the parachute.
“What are you going to do with
that thing f said she.
“Why, my dear, I expect a very
severe storm to-night, and I came pre
pared.” Mrs. Bookin retired.
Complimentary.—An editor down
east thus speaks of a contemporary
He is too iazv to earn a meal and too
mean to enjoy one. He was never
generous but once, and that was when
he gave the itch to his apprentice. So
much for his goodness of heart: Of his
industry, the public may better judge
when we state that the only day he ever
worked was the day he mistook castor
oil for honey.”
A lady recently said to an Irish
man-servant, “I wish you would come

minutes with the information that Mrs
Jones was seveuty-two years old,"

A western paper noticed the open
ing of a new whisky store, and the
next day apologised for the brevity of
its local columns, because “ the report
er was ilL” He had assisted at the
avocations, and will now doubtless in
crease their force, run day and night,
and thus, by their greater efllrts, con
sume what would otherwise have been
manufactured by the belligerents.
But, to whatever extent our present
depression may be traceable to Europ
ean commotions, one thing must be
•patent to every thoughtful mind, viz:
That our present application of labor
is destructive of the best interests of
our couutry. So long as the great op
erative force of the South is engaged
in cotton raising, on the simple princi
ple of supply and demand, the price
must be low. Were only one-half
raised the plauter would receive a
heavier return than he now realizes for
the whole.
This fact personified, with smiling
face invites us to the consideration of
the practi’ability and profitableness of
manufacturing our cotton crop at home.
First, that manufacturing is practi
cable at the South, will appear from a
simple statement of facts. Our water
fills are numerous, powerful and never-
failing. Our climate moist and salu
brious. Building materials abundant.
Labor never wanting; for demand al
ways creates supply. While, to crown
all, the raw material is grown on every
side. Nor is capital wanting: Rail
roads are built, mercantile firms estab
lished. houses erected, and farms culti
vated. Thes^ enterprizes require capi
tal, and show that where there is a will
there is a way. Indeed, it is not too
much to say that our facilities for man
ufacturing are unrivaled. To us be
longs the great cotton-growing belt of
the world. Why not, then, like other
nations, reap the full advantage of our
favored position? Why not prepare
our staple for use, as well as commence
its manufacture, as we do, at the
gin ? Why not create among ourselves
the entire wealth of which the raw ma
terial is susceptible ? In seuding our
staple abroad, and buying it hack in
fabrics, of all civilized nations we stand
alone. Are not Prussia and Ireland
as famous for their linen fabrics and
bleach goods as for their flaxen fields?
They grow the flax, and export it only
when white as the lily, and ready for
use. In their lapping rooms the linen
receives the finishing touch. Does
Englaud export her wool ? No, only
in the form of the most profitable cloth.
Does Great Britain export anything
from beneath or above her soil until its
fullest value has been created ? Will
the farmer sell his wheat to the miller
to buy it back as flour ? No; but the
Southern planter sells his cotton at fif
teen cents per pound, and buys it back
at a dollar; and in this way millions
pass from the South to enrich other
sections. Such action is but the di
vorcement of real aud natural rela
tions ; and being continued, will im
poverish any land.
What is to be done to arrest the
growing evil? And how shall our
waste places be built up ? Foreigners
refuse to avail themselves of our great
na:ural advantages because of the
heavy per cent payable to the Federal
government in the shape of tariff dues
on their machinery. They naturally
feel disinclined to make investments

" '** There are individuals in Georgia aud
many in the South, who grow cotton
enough to supply an establishment of
the above capacity. And such a plan
ter and manufacturer could keep his
cotton in the seed until wanted for use
in the factory. This would render nec
essary ware-house room for seed, in
stead of bale cotton ; but the disadvan

ton States that cannot build and ope
rate a small factory by its own lnbor as
successfully as any Northern factory—
not only so, but declare a larger divi
dend on the capital invested. I will
specifically show what may be done.
As a trial, I would recommend a
small factory of twelve hundred spin
dles and forty looms. Such a mill is
within the reach of any planting com
munity, and such an establishment
could be ran successfully by either
w iter or steam. It would give profita
ble employment to all the neighborhood
unfit for field service. The product of
such a factory in 4-4 sheetings—a stand
ard article, used by all sections of this
and other countries, and in demand at
all seasons of the year, and never get
ting out of fashion—will command ad
vances, if not sold, as readily as the
raw material.
The cost of a cotton mill and factory
village, complete, of the latest and
most improved machinery for manufac
turing four-quarter standard sheeting,
consisting of twelve hundred spindles
and fork- looms, with all the findings
complete, (except water-wbeel or steam
engine,) the machinery put up and
made ready for operation, and guaran
teed to produce two thousand yards
per day, will be twenty-five thousand
dollars. The cost of site, factory build
ings, water-wheel, ware-house and ten
ement houses for operatives, 810,000.
To carry on the business, a cash capi
tal would be necessary, to purchase
cotton, pay labor, and purchase sup
plies. say 85,000—making a total of
840,000. Should the proprietor or
company wish to odd merchandising to
the business, (if the location was in the
country, it would be desirable,) that
would require an additional capital for
store-house and stock of goods, which
would pay on its own merits, and serve
as a convenience, like any other mer
cantile establishment in the country or
town. * L '
To operate such an establishment by
water, and turn ofi 12,000 yards of
four-quarter^ standard sheeting p;r
week, weiffcg 2 35-100ths yards to
the pound—allowing 12J per cent,
waste net, would require 4,800 pounds
of cotton, which, at a coat of fifteen
cents per pound, would be $720 00
Torun such a cotton mill would
require also, the following
employees, ct about the
wages annexed. Their num
ber and wages in the aggre
gate would not vary mate

uses bale cotton lias to use what wc
term an opener, or willower, to break
up or loosen the cotton, by which the
cotton is thrown back in about the same
state as before bailing, in order to prc
pare it for the lapper or speeder. The
Southern manufacturer and 'planter
can substitute the gin for the opener
in the factory, using bale cotton, to be
propelled by the same power, and ten
der by the same hand required by the
opener.
This is not theory, hut a statement
of what I have done for nine months
in a year, and would have done for
twelve had not tho seed cotton given
out I have picked cotton iu the morn
ing ; ginned, carded and spun it the
same day, and the next day shipped it
to New York. So that a factory on a
plantation can begin to gin and use the
cotton os soon as a planter can get it
out, aud continue until his entire crop
is picked out. By taking the cotton
direct from the field to the factory,
which is no more troublesome or ex
pensive than taking it to the gin house,
and which I am now doing daily, the
care and expense ot packing is saved.
Where one man has not the ability
to build such a cotton mill, then it
should be done by forming a partner
ship or company of planters and others
in every county and neighborhood in
the cotton region.
It does not follow that planters should
confine themselves to establishments of
the proposed size and description of
good manufactured—(that beiug sug
gested as the smallest that would he
desirable)—but larger ones, up to thir
ty thousand spindles and one thousand
looms would be perferred. A factory
ot such size could be run on print goods
just as well as ou domestics, except
that the lighter goods do not require
machinery of so heavy a pattern. The
process of operation being just the same
as in making domestics, and the goods
selling next to domestics at all seasons.
It is also practicable to build on a
large scale, upon our splendid water
courses, factories, villages, towns and
cities. In the Cotton States it is even
more practicable than in the Northern
States or in Europe. 1 will taken* an
example tho fectory in Augusta, Geor
gia, presided over by a native Geor
gian, and superintended by a Yankee,
and the operatives natives of the South,
id assert that not a New England
mill running on the same class of goods
(domestics) has, since the war, equal
ed it as to productions, regularity of its
running time, or the per cent, made on
its capital. There being no advantage
in the location of the Augusta factory
over many others in the South, it is
presumable that many other commu
nities can avail themselves of the same
facilities afforded by Augusta; and
should the companies to as fortunate
io the selection of gentlemen tc man
age the business as wdlquatified as W.
E. Jackson, Esq. and Mr. F. Cogin,
there could be no doubt ofequ.il suc
cess, forltheir location is not above
the average in advantage over five
thousand others in the Cotton States.
Therefore, this splendid example should
be instanced to others as an incentive

The company having a surplus at
the beginning of the year, of $225,515-
GO, on which interest should to allow
ed, and which I add as expenses,
amounting to 815,515 60, having had
the use of it to operate the mill in addi
tion to their capital. I then add
another item, which is not definitely
stated,—viz: All the materials which
were purchased for the manufacturing
of the goods, sucli as starch, iron,
leSiher, Ac., 819,841 13, making the
sum of $35,356 73, which being deduct
ed from the previous amount leaves
the sum of $300,000, the net amount
of value created by tho company with
their capital of $600,000, being fifty
per ceut, of value added to the wealth
of the State of Georgia yearly.
Now Georgia is almost as large aa
the six New England States. Those
States are famous for their crystal
streams, affording splendid water-pow
ers in their course from the mountains
to the ocean; and have all, by the
ceaseless industry, enterprise and skill
of the shifty Yankee, been turned to
practical account. They manufacture
cotton, wool, and every conceivable
article for home and foreign comsump-
tion. In 1869 their factories number
ed 4,100, and the value of their manu
factured goods amounted to $615,009,-
000. This sum is 24 times greater
than the whole cotton crop of the South,
on an estimate of three and three-quar
ter millicns of hales, at 15 cents per
pound. What wonderful results, in a
great measure, against nature, in a cold
and inhospitable clime. From my
personal knowledge of New England,
speak intelligently when I say, that
whatever facilities she enjoys over us
at present for manufacturing purposes
are artificial. From ray thorough ac
quaintance with the tsouth, I can, with
equal boldness, affirm, that she has na
tural advantages which New England
can never acquire, unless she emigrates
to the Cotton St-'tee.

I am indobtod to \V. E. Jackson
Esq., the President of the Augusta
Factory, for a copy of his report for
the year ending June lltb, 1810, with
permission to use tho same.
Augusta, Ga., June 30th, 1870.
To the Stockholders:
I submit to you the result of the op
erations of the Company for the year
ending the 11th inst., also its financial
condition, together with a list of the
Stockholders on that day.
Third—Factory operatives can be
employed at one half, or one hundred
percent, lead than at the North, and
of this class of laborers the supply is iu
excess of demand.
Fourth—Cotton is and can to de
livered at the factory at an average of
two cents less per pound of same grade.
Fifth—A climate totter suited to the
manufacture of cotton, because more
humid, and in this respect not sur
passed by Old England.
Sixth—-A home market for tbo man
ufactured goods at a totter price—an
advautage which will continue until
we manufacture for export, and then
we compete on equal terms.
In view of these conceded advant
ages, accompanied with facts and fig
ures demonstrating our superior facili
ties for the work under review, who
will longer doubt that the inhabitants
of the South may, can, and should be
come a great manufacturing people?
