MANUFACTURESBRINOCBOWTH Very significent is the fact of the growth of eastern cities as Shown by the last census, when previously the west has been showing up as the section where the most notable jucreases of population were real - '2ed. Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New England cities have s town a population gain that should be gratifying to the people of those sections as it is surprising to the general public, while tie western section which bave had thejr large scopes of rich lands tO parade as wealth makers to the would be settler have experienced the reaction natural from quick spurts of growth, and have fallen behind general expectation, it does not require a thofbtigh Investigation to learit that it is the manufacturing communities alone In which the populations have in creased at anything like the per ceutages of iSqo* l' l all others the lowering of the rate of increase has been remarkable. Cities like St. Paul, Minneapolis, Omaha, Lin coln and others in the west which depend chiefly on the agricultural traffic for their prosperity have not continued the growth of the pre ceding decade, while Milwaukee, Detroit and Cleveland, with grow ing manufactures, have about maintained their former rate, and eastern cities have made surpris ing gains. Volunteers from the Philippines are on their way home. All of them who do not re-enlist will probably reach home by the ist of July. There will be between 40,- 000 and 50,000 that will have to be transported across the waters. Others will go from the United States to take their places.

THE LEGAL ADVERTISING -111 a recent issue of the Courant American Mr. R L. Griffin, sheriff of Bartow county, stated in a com munication in regard to the legal advestisements, that “I am a pub lic servant and my desire is to serve the public as best I can.” and re quested both of the city papers to state their positions upon the 3011- tinuapee of the arrangement to publish the legal advertisements in both papers and divide the fees. The Courant Atneiican stated in the same issue, that the arrange ment was satisfactory, but if the News would not agree to a contin uance that the Courant American would publish the legal advertise ments of the county for one-half the regular legal rate. The News stated that it would discontinue the arrangement at the end of the present month. For our next issue which was last week, Mr. Griffin handed us the following card: OFFICIAL NOTICE. Editors of Courant American and The News. “Gentlemen: After full consulta tion with my deputies, I do hereby name The News, a paper published in Cartersville, Ga,, as the medium iii which the Sheriff's legal adver tisements for Bartow'county, Ga., will be published after March ist, jqoi,until we see proper to make a change. "Please insert this communica tion in the next issue of yonr paper, Fed. 15. 1901, 1 K. l). 6kiffin, Sheriff. N. M. Adams, W. S. Bradley, Deputy Sheriffs.” In his selection Mr. Griffin ar bitrarily overrides the question of cost to the people, who pay for these advertisements, and ignores the recent reccommendation of the grand jury, which was as follows: PUELICY OK LEGAL, NOTICES. “Our people are to be congratu lated upon the present arrangement for publishing the legal notices advertisements of the officers and court, as it now exists. All these advertisements are printed in both the papers at the county site for the one rate prescribed by law, thus gi n_j the widest circulation and publicity to these important notices, at no greater cost than it published in one paper. The public appre c.ates tins unselfish act on the part of the Courant American and the News, and we recommend that the >resent arrangement be continued as one very beneficial to all the people.” idle arrangement to divide the fees between the two papers was entered into while Mr. Griffin was the deputy sheriff, and at the re quest of Mr. Burrough who was tie sheriff at that time, and we have no doubt Mr. Griffin had full knowledge of the arrangement. Mr. Griffin does not attempt to state why he ignores the recent grand jury, and neither does he at tempt to snow' why it will be ntc cessary for the people who pay the cost to pay twice as much as lie could have obtained the work for in the Courant American. The Courant American publish ers, after Mr. Griffin had notified us of his change, told him in person it would publish his advertisements free of cost if he would continue this paper as the official organ of the county, and this he refused to consider at all, and to recognize as i proposition, saying the matter had been decided. Now is there anv one in the county who believes that Mr. Grffin would pay twice as much for an ar icle in a private business trans action at one place as he could obtain it for at another ? We do not believe that any one would charge him with such a lack of sagacity, and yet this is just what he has done in a business transac tion for the public. We will further state that we in tend to publish the sheriff's adver tisements, and if he refuses to give us half of the fees, the work will be lone free to those who pay the cost, and if the sheriff demands the advertising fees, it is that much :ash out of your pocket to pay foi omething which you have obtain id without cost.

Whelpley, writing from Birmingham, Ala., to the Globe- Democrat presents this cheery view of the cotton and mill situa tion and outlook in the south: “The real advantages of the south in the matter of cotton manufactur ng are climate, w r ater power and raw material at the door. The climate insures twelve months of operation, cheaper living for the operatives and a thousand and one economies iu the running of the mills. Water powers are a! undant ly distributed througnont the gulf states. They are found in never failing streams of convenient size, free from freshets, owing to the long and gradual watersheds. Thee water powers never freeze or block with ice, as do the mill streams in the north. The raw cotton is to be had at the door of every mill in the south. The advantages of this is shown in the fact that ti e average freight rate paid by Massachusetts mills to secure the raw material de livered is more than the rate upon the manufactured goods from Co lumbus, Ga., to Boston or New York. “During 1900 the number of spindles increased in the United States by about 1,500,000. Of this increase only 197,000 new spindles are credited to all the states outside of the south. In brief, the great growth’of the cotton manufacturing business in the United States in 1900 was practically all due to the progress made by the southern states. There will not be such an increase in 1901, nor will the in crease as it does appear show such proportionate gain by the south over the north. There will not be as many new spindles in the south this year and several large mills are being built in New England, whose spindles will figure in the growth of the industry in the north in 1901. If cotton continues to hold its present price of about 9c there is 110 telling where the stimulus to the industrial south will end. At the present figure cotton is 1 rofitable in all its phases of growth, sale and manufacture. Conservative men expect a drop in the price, but no one believes it will ever go as low as it was three years ago when or 5 cents was all the farmer could get. It seems to be the gen eral opinion that cotton prices will in time find their way down to a basis of about 7c and there will *>tay, subject to the usual slight fluctuation*. The cotton crop of the current year will bring to tilt taimersof the south over $500,000, too and still not one-third of the < ~ f * - ..

It is hard to make state or municipal laws that will work an absolute fairness in this line. There is one class of property that has little chance of escape from the fullest levies, and that is teal estate. The new city license law will remove, it is believed, some of the heavy load that real est te h s had to carry The law now is seemingly recognized as a good thing. Those who once pay the trifle required as an annual license will soon dismiss the matter, and seeing the benefits in the way of protection, will in most cases feel glad they contributed iO so whole some a result.
