Cottum Manufacture in the Boulh.
To the often repeated question : “Can
1 the South manufacture cotton goods
oh caper than the North ?" the boston
Advertiser, a well-posted journal, replies :
This question ia often aud anxiously
asked, aud every item of faot, bearing on
the question, is worth catcbiug and hold
iug. Here are two, both favorable to
Southern manufacture. Machinery is
being put in the third cotton mill owned
and operated by the Lsgle aud Phenix
Manufacturing Company of Columbus,
Oa. The new mill is as large aa the other
two of the company ; will be devoted to
making checks and stripes; will have
20.00W spindles, SOu looms and IGOoarding
machines . will use twenty bales of oottou
a day, and will employ 700 hands.
“The company has paid good dividends
and has a large reserve fund. Second :
At the recent semi- annual meeting of the
Augusta (la.; Factory the profits of the
oompauy for the six months were said to
be above $13,000, and a two per cent,
dividend was declared—not large for a
semi-annual, to be aure, but oottou milla
are not, many of them, doing as wall aa
that. During the time the factory made
416,1*00 yard.: of goods, ehiefiy for South
ern consumption. Two swailows do not

MAYOR'S COVHTB
“Consistency, thou art a jewel." “Was
evar book containing such vile matter eo
handsomely bound ? O, that deceit should
dwell in snob a gorgeous palace!" and wo
add inton*i*Uncy. My ! how the “Prosy
Editor of tbo Tune*, who calls us the
“Poetic,' let bin foot slip. He thinks the
Mayor s Court too obscene and trifling, as
a general thing, for his readers and
grossly indecent that it is aoaroely delioate
to write her name where it can be se
Now be is a nice one to preach sneb doc
trine when almost in the same breath and
in tbs same column he exhales that foul
matter, “Utah on the war-path." (sincere
ly we would publish it, bat it is too low
and obscene), a pieee which conld not be
more abhorrently offensive to common
decency, or more suggestive of the lowest
degredation. Wed like for “Prosy" to
read “Utah" and ask his morals,
which he has been preaching, if
the tenor of it is consonant
with them. Is there a spark of consia
teucy in the precept and practice? We
would liko to even give an idea of “Utah
on the war path," but we can't do it with
out even alluding to it. We can't ex
plain it without writiug things more ob
scene than we have ever been guilty of
writing. It surely must be that this
“Prosy Editor," who writes without re
gard to consistency, envies the “Poetic
Editor" who write* without regard to foot
or rhythm. He oughtn't to let his defi
ciencies worry him so. If he is not in
spired; it is no fault of ours. If we have
a better get up of Mayor* Courts than
he, it is not oar blame, for it is only a
superiority of talent whiob wo possess
over him. He is “too slow" for the Times
anyway, and the Times is loo far behind
'or the people.
Ho speaks of complaints being raa«lo
about the reporting of these courts, aud
says that.he doesn't think that there
any on his subscription
who desire to read them. This
is a very forcible idea, and so strikes
Now, many oomplAints have been made
to ns, but always by those whose name*
are to be published. This explains it,and
accounts for the “shortness" of bis sub
soriber*—entirely too aristocratio ic
their notions; can't bear to nee such un
becoming things in print. Wo haven’t
auy of these fastidious people as subscri
bers, for tbev don't pay—not even their
floes.
FEBRUARY—THK WEATHER.
February (Lat. Feb m arias, from ftb-

the festival of expiation and lustration,
which was held on Ibo 15th of this month),
the second month in our prosont calendar,
containing 28 days ordinarily, and 2!) days
in leap year. It was not in the calendar
of Uomulus. N'urni added two months to

I HILLY RADCL1FF VS. CEMENT
AND A l VTA OSEEH.
Yesterday morning, just as Hilly Ked-
clilf hau mounted his little wagon and
was easling a happy look all around, pre
lusive of a jolly soug, he discovered at
the corner of the Georgia Home building,
withiu twenty or thirty feet of him, a
ubiquitous human, like unto himself,
making preparations to sell the great
“London Cement." Billy couldn’t help
but smile, aud it came simultaneous with
(hose of the crowd around, but prompted
by differeut feelings. The spectators were
tickled with the idea that Billy would
have to give away to the fellow, who waa
suspending a one hundred and fifty
|H»und rock to a cemented plate hang
ing from a red honcoutal bar. Billy
was smiling beoause, thought be to
himself, “I'll fix that fellow
as soon as h# get* his rock to swinging.
So he did. His melodious lip* begsu to
quiver, and the banjor strings to rattle off
ths “Poodle Dog" in unison. The oe
inent waa awful strong, but it wouldn't
hold 'em. It wouldn't stick—they sur
rounded Billy thicker than ever. Things
ware now lively. One of the boys hal
looed, “Shoot the cement!" and another,
“Go home with your tenacious truck and
red bar. Hilly was now delighted and
on casting his eyes towards C. S. Hern -
son's auction stand, he discovered that he
was crying to about three men for the
sale t>f an old gray mole, we think, and
the cro wd Hocking to him (Billy.) The
auctioneer is a man of “push and en
ergy, waa determined to sell and con
tinued to cry, but in a louder voice,
thinking that he could draw them back,
but alas! he had to descend and cease his
toil and tumult, lb* scene* created
great laughter.
For tho Orphan’* Asylum.
He mem ber that the “pound" for the
benefit of the Orphan Asylum will open
this afternoon at 5 o clock in the Ganby
building. Suraly there is no one who will
mot o<•Atribate—even if it be “the mite.'
