Given under my hand and official sig nature, this 11th day of March 1901. 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.

It has. been pur , , experience that apologies to thf .public oeunt for very 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.

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 ed, preserved In *Lcoh6l or given an oldfasbioned burial.
