Jho. E. Tools,
Mayor of theCitv of Bainbridge
"We print the following editorial
from the Albany Herald and as it i*
equally applicable to Bainbridge,
we submit it for the, serious oonsid-
eration of onr citizens:
"Cotton manufacturing bristles
with profits. Investments in South
ern mills are the beet investments.
In proportion to tbo number in.op
eration, more banka have failed than
ootton factories, and yet bank stocks
are readily purchased and deposits
made in banks every .day with child
ish faith.
"There is a ootton mill at King’s
Mountain oapitalised at only $30,
000, which has paid every year of
its operation 25 per cent dividends;
another at Yatesville, with $52,000
capital, is declaring regular 85 per
dent, dividends; another at Gastonia,
with $65,000 capital, has paid 20 per
cent, dividends for five years, the
stockholders having received in that
time every dollar invested aud hav
ing now a better mill than ever be
fore. Seventeen years ago at Pel-
zer, S. C., $100,000 was invested in a
ootton mill, and this mill paid ten
per eent, and built a second mill;
the two paid the same and built a
third and. the three have kept up the
dividend and built a fourth factory.
Dividends haye been paid 5 per cent
semi-annually, and while the orignal
investment was $100,000 the capital
ixation is now $2,000,000. Can any
other Hue of human endeavor equal
this? Excepting the latterfexample,
these are not exceptional oases. All
over the Caroliuas and in Georgia
like results have been attained.
What more does the most exacting
Investor require? Albany people
should invest in ootton milling as
the very best investment of money.’
The experimental period in cot
ton milling in the south has passed
and there is no further reason
to doubt the wisdom of
putting capital in it as
highly profitable investment; an in
vestment that will not only be
directly profitable, but oue which
will enhance in value every other m
vestmeut ( or enterprise.

little, bat when oar readers learn tbs
cause of our shoftyomings this week;
we trust that tbqy will show the spirit
of a generous popple and pardon its
for this time.
On last Thursday p. m., a sad ca
•amity befell our editor, and he was
uo£ able to lie with us the remainder
of the week. *
The editor, apsttted by one of our
printers, Mr. Biair, was placing thy
knife of our hufiC paper outting ma
chine in its plaoe^ when without q
momenta -warning the misfortune
oamo. Thelarge isyer by whiuh
the machine is,operated wae raised

ed tbat the levef must be drawn up
to the last notch to prevent its falling
while the operators! adjusting the
blade. Some how or some how Mae,
the aforesaid lever was not raised
to its full height,' 4o just as the gen
tlemen were woridng with the blade,
down oame the foyer pushing the
Blade with a crash through paper,
human flesh and all.
A piteous exclamation escaped the
lips of the bewailing editor, and n
was all ovef. Ws raised our eyes to
look upon the horrible scene, and
very much to our deep sorrow wo
mw a part of oujr beloved editor ly
iiig bleeding on M>e , floor, and the
other part of him •» the opposite
side of the machine; We rushed to
bis assistance and as we greer nearer
we found tbat the greater'half of the
editor \ga» Hsel'f up, so ws
immediately went to the rescue of
the other half. We found that the
helpless half of the editor consisted
of about one ounce of flesh, one-half
inob of bone and a thumb nail. Yes,
he had actually out off his thumb.
The ambufonbe was not oallud, as
the editor desired tg show bis nerve
and courage by walking alone to the
physician.
Dr. Toole dressed the wound and
the editor was soon on bis way home.
The remains of the severed member
have not beon disposed of yet; and un
til the editor returns, it will not be
decided whether tkpy will be cremat
