Farewell Address.
“ Cotton and its Manufacture.’'
The New York Times, of the 15th,
has a very interesting article under
the above caption. The writer had
just read the report of Mr. Wm. E
Jackson, President of the Augusta
Factory, showing the operations of the
Company for the first six months of
the present year. The profits of the
factory, as shown by the report, and
which it is unnecessary for us to pub
lish in detail at this time, are alto
gether too satisfactory to suit this
Northern writer. He jealously at
tempts to explain away its success,
and to imply that no other company
in the South could be successful.
Read what lie says of this suc
cess :
The Augusta Colton Factory is an excep
tion. Ils sucsess has been wonderful. We
know of nothing like it in the history of
cotton manufactures. Until is obvious that
the showing of its success is not a fair crite
rian by which to come to the conclusion that
cotton can be manufactured at the South,
during the next generation, cheaper than it
can be at the North. Within the past five
years we know of cotton mills in New-Eng
land that have failed, while there are others
that have paid for themselves twice over,
besides affording fat dividends. The suc
cess of the Augusta establishment is due en
tirely to skillftu management. Its President
is one of the best business men in the coun
try, and its Superintendent is equally as ca
pable. If we are not mistaken, t hey are both
Northern men, and consequently they have
infused Yankee ideas into all their operations.
The goods of the Augusta Factory command
from one-half per cent, to one and one-half
per cent, more per yard than those of other
similar mil's. The best of stock is used, be
cause its buyers tire right at home in the
market, and they always take advantage of
the prices; but they are not more shrewd
than some of our Northern buyers have
been. During the war, when the Augusta
mill was using cotton which cost eighteen
cents tier pound, there were several mills in
New England that had a six months’ supply
at the same price. It is safe to say that the
comparison of the Augusta Factory is an
isolated one, so far a*the cotton mills of the
■South are concerned. The testimony of
many of its manufacturers show that the
dividends of the cotton mills are generally
small, and that during the past, three years
many of them have passed their small
dividends.
There etui be no doubt that the
compliments paid Messrs. Jackson
and Cogin are well deserved ; but it
does not follow that other companies
cannot secure capable men to manage
their factories. And even if other fac
tories arc not so conspicuously suc
cessful as the Augusta Factory has
been, it docs not follow that -they will
not be reasonably profitable.
The Times next mentions some of
the advantages of the .South for the
manufacture of cotton, as follows :
No one will pretend to dispute the fact
that certain sections of the South offer ipccial
advantages for the manufacture of cotton.
They have climate and wages in their favor.
For three months in the year the totalcost of
fuel is less than one-tenth of a cent per
pound on manufactures of those months;
and, as to wages, land is cheap, and the
manufacturer is enabled to give each family
of operatives a large garden, large enough to
enable them to raise their year’s supply of
vegetables. Wages arc consequently low.
Then there is the matter of freights. The
Southern manufacturer can save the freight
on bagging, rope, and waste, and he can sell
his waste to local paper mills at quite North
ern price’s. If tiie freight on one bale of
cotton from Charleston to New York is
$2.50, for instance, on yarn, worth say $1.20
a bale, it is only GO cents, there would be a
difference of about two and a half per cent
on the value, providing the cotton was worth
SBO. The Southern manufacturer, too, pur
chases of the producer or his agent, thus
avoiding commissions, brokerage, and other
charges paid by Northern mills.
The writer says that what the South
now wants is capital and skilled
labor. That she needs these is unde
niable ; but her greatest want is confi
dence that she can make manufac
turing profitable. Confidence in our
selves is what we greatly need. There
is more money in the South than
many seem to have any conception of.
The trouble is that its farmers have
not been able to see a fact as trans
parent as noonday, to-wit: that labor
and the cost of living being even
cheaper here than in New England,
and the raw material at our doors,
cotton can be manufactured at less
cost in the South than in the North.
As to the skilled labor—money will
bring that. We are not of those that
have deceived ourselves with the idea
that Northern capital and skilled
labor uill come South fur the simple
glory of developing our resources.
No, if it comes at all, it is because
more money is to be made here than
there. That more can l«e made here
being self-evident, we regard an influx
of Northern capital and skilled lalmr,
| sooner or Inter, n« certain.
In the meantime, we would most ear
nestly suggest to our farmers that
they can turn their surplus dollars to
n profitable account if they will invest
them in the erection of cotton factories.
There is nothing peculiar in a North
ern dollar. One of our dollars will do
AS well, although the mord there are
in the section the better for the coun
try.

Miscellaneous Editorial Items.
The New York .fiun says of the
bill introduced by Gen. Bi ti.ei: on the
I Illi, to enforce the laws of the United
States in Georgia, that it “provides
that all acts of the present legislature
shall be set aside, and that Governor
Bullock shall call together the Legis
lature elected under lhe new constitu
tion, which includes those members
who were expelled by rebels and rene
gade Republicans. In case of any
disturbance the Governor is author
ized to call upon the President of the
United States for troops, which troops
arc to be at the disposal of the Gov
ernor. Any person who attempts to
exercise the duties of any office, with
out first taking the iron-clad oath, is
to be punishAl with imprisonment at
least one year, ami forever disqualified
from holding any office of profit or
trust Any false swearing in taking the
iron-clad oath is to be punished as
perjury under the laws of the United
States. It is the intention of Gen
Butler to push the measure, and get
it before ihc'Housc at the early day.”
To snow how little some of our
most successful business men actually
know of their business, it is only
necessary to mention a little “sell”
which a reporter for the Macon 7c7c
graph recently perpetrated on the
cotton buyers of that city. He ex
hibited samples of sea island upland
cotton, which sold readily for 30 cents
per pound, while New York mid
dlings would only command 22|a23
cents. < Inly two merchants of the
entire number visited offered the re
porter more than the ordinary price.
The reporter says the eyes of two old
chaps sparkled like diamonds when
they examined the samples, and were
anxious to purchase at 28 cents. They
understood their business.
Tile National Bank of the Metropo
lis, of Washington, I). C., went into
liquidation three years ago, with
§IOO,OOO bonds deposited with the
United States Treasurer to secure the
Government deposits of over half a

no office, yet it draws semi-annually
interest upon their bonds and upon
§202,000 of bonds deposited to secure
§IBO,OOO circulation. Wo get this
statement from the New York Hinn.
It is a most shameful and dishonest
proceeding. The plain English of it
is, that the Government is paying in
terest on §IOO,OOO to parties who owe
it over half a million. *

Romance of the Hash Factor -The
Waiter Girl Experiment in San
Francisco.
.Some weeks ago, writes a San
Francisco correspondent, a shrewd
Yankee arrived here from the East,
and after looking around for a time,
and finding that fully two-thirds of the
people of .San Francisco boarded in
restaurants, concluded to go into that
business. He had observed that all
the restaurant keepers employed fat,
lazy and dirty Irishmen, Dutchmen
and Chinamen for Cooks and waiters,
and he conceived the idea that if he
employed girls—neat, tidy, quick-wit
ted and good loooking girls—for
waiters, he would secure a large cus
tom immediately.
He accordingly ransacked tho em
ployment offices for recruits, and final
ly secured twelve pretty girls; two of
these he placed bejiind the counter for
money-takers, and the remainder wore
instructed to “pass around the hash.”
The novelty of lhe thing made it take
immediately. I’hc restaurant was
crowded from morning till night. No
one thought of eating less than twen*
ty-iive cents’ worth (you must know
that a person can get a fine meid for
fifteen or twenty cents), and when
they devoured thirty-seVen cents’
worth they would toss the money-tak
ers a fifty cent piece and walk away
with a nonchalant air. The proprie
tor was in ecstacies, and walked about
rubbing his hands with unctions de
light.
Many of the customers would call
for ice-cream, and ask the fair wait
resses to join them. They wore conse
quently filled chock full of nice things
all the time. Matters progressed
finely for several weeks, when the
proprietor began to find that his
waitresses were not so attentive as
they ought to be. They would serve
some “good-looking fellow with what
he would order, and would then sit
down and chat with him while other
customers were waiting to be served,
lie reprimanded the girls several
times, but without any effect; so he
determined to secure another lot, and
discharge the whole caboodle.
He began his search for substitutes,
saying nothing of his designs. Yes
terday, however, lie was staggered.
If Johnny Morrissey or Johnny' Hee
nan had struck a blow below the belt,
he could not have been more aston
ished, “for, after duties of the the day
were concluded, and the cash counted,
he was asked to attend church with
tho girls, as one of them was going to
get married. Os course he would go,
and give away the bride. If she had
only given him notice in time, he
would had given them a nice wedding
supper.
An hour’s time sufficed for the girls
to dress, and then they all proceeded
to church, where every one of them
were married. During their brief
career of four weeks in the restaurant
they had been wooed and won by
young fellows anxious to find coni
panions for life, but who, owing to
lhe peculiar mode of living in San
Francisco, bad no opportunity of form
ing female acquaintances. This morn
ing ho was without waiters, and be
was rushing around, like a chicken
with his head off, looking for more
girls. Ilis establishment is better
than a matrimonial agency.
A Blood v Duel. —The famous
dueling ground on the Metairie Ridge,
known as “The Oaks,” was the scene
yesterday morning of a samr<p”"<j
duel between two j-o««g men ol this
which has rarely had its parallel
in the annals of the code, cither in
this country or in Europe. The anta
gonists were, the one a native Creole
of New Orleans, the other a French
man by birth ; the provocation a blow
in the face at the hand of the Creole;
the weapons were broadswords; the
hour daybreak. Arrived on the field,
accompanied by their seconds, the
combatants stripped to the waist, and
sword in hand, in the freezing air of
the morning, sprung at each other
like tigers. There was no hesitation,
or playing to try each other’s skill. A
few lunges and cuts were successfully
parried, when suddenly :m up-cut from
the Frenchman’s sword wounded his
antagonist in the right arm. The
riposte from the Creole laid open
the Frenchman’s left cheek, laying
open the inside and exposing his
teetli. Nothing daunted, the wound
ed man stepped back, had a hand
kerchief bound around his face,
and again put himself in attitude
of offence. Ilis first lunge penetrated
the breast of his opponent, between
the rib and the skin, but it was made
with such relentless force that it
passed also through the off-arm. An
attempt was made at this moment by
the seconds to stop the matter at that
point, but the man with the handker
chief around his jaws rushed at the
second, who was most anxious to set
tle the matter, sword in hand, asser
verating that naught should quiet his
animosity except a cut across his
throat. The battle was renewed and
lasted until the creole had received
eight wounds and the other six—al!
severe and painful, but none, it is
hoped, dangerous. Both men dis
played extraordinary courage, animos
ity and endurance; and during the
course of the bloody encounter, neither
was willing to give up the contest
until both had io let their hands fall
helpless to their sides from loss of
blood and the pain of their wounds.
The parties w ere carried home, after
having their wounds dressed; and
though the creole had two more
wounds, his situation was more com
fortable ami less critical than that of
his antagonist.- V. O. Crescent, 13th.

One Kiss, Maki a.—There was a
funny little episode on the car that
helped to arouse, us. At Montana a I
young man and a young woman came
on board-of the sleeping car, ami the
former said: “Seehero Mr. Conductor,
I want one of your best bunks for this
young woman and one for myself in
dividually. One will do for us when
we git to the Bluffs, hey, Marier ? (a
playful and affectionate poke at
“Marier” with his elbow, to which she
replies, “now, John quit?”) for you
see we’re goin’ to git married at
Marier’s uncle’s when we git there.—
We might a’ been married at Montan
ny, but we tobk a habit to wait ’till
we got to the Bluffs, bein’ as Marier’s
uncle is a minister, and they charge
a gol’ fired price for hitchin’ folks at
Montanny.” Maria was assigned to one
of the “best bunks,” and John was
given one not far away. After a time
the inmates of the car were all stowed
away in their berths to go through
the inevitable alternations of swelter
ing and freezing.
During a stoppage of the train at
one station the voice of John was
heard, raised in pleading accents, all
unconscious that the train had stopped,
and that tones which the noise of the
rattling wheels had drowned while the
cars were moving, cpuld be distinctly
heard by all when they bad stopped.
“Now. Ma-ri, you might give a fel
ler jes’ one kiss.”
“John, you quit, or T’ll git right out
here and hoof it back to Montanny in
the snow storm.”
“Only one little kiss, Marier, and
I’ll go; hope to die ’f I don’t.”
“John—”
Just at that interesting moment a
gray head protruded from a berth at
at the other end of the car, and an old
man cried out so that all could hear:
“Marier, for God’s sake give John one
kiss, so that we can go to sleep some
time to-night.”
It is needless to remark that a peal
of laughter rang from one end of the
car to the other, under cover of which
John slunk-back to the solitary seclu
sion of his “bunk,” leaving Maria to
the undisturbed possession of her mar
riage license, which she interpreted
to permit no license to John until ac
companied by the proper certificate. —
And Marier was right.
