Very Truly Your Friends, ALM/IND, MOOR & ©O. A BRILLIANT MARRIAGE. We merely mentioned the marriage, l ist week, of Mr. Win. Jolly and Miss Menla Ham. Mr. Jolly is too well known in our town to need any commen dation or notice at our hands, and to simply state that he is one among the very best of our young farmers, is suffi cient, for everybody knows him. Mr. Jolly is a direct descendant from such ancestors as Sandford, the arithmetic man and the Whitfields, and therefore has royal blood in his veins. Miss Menla is of the best families in the land. Her father, our next Tax man, is known by all our people. Her mother is daughter of “Uncle Billy McMichael” as everybody called him, and while Dr. Gardner was pronouncing the ceremouy we noticed a life-size picture of Miss Menla’s grand father, “Uncle Billy,” overlooking the solemn proceedings, whose lips almost seemed to move an approbation of the noble step his grandchild was taking. Immediately after the ceremouy Mr. Jolly and his bride drove to the home of Mr. Joe Jolly for supper, and then boarded the train for Macon and other poiuts on a tour. We tender congratu lations.

There is not a single county in the cot ton growing belt of Georgia that ought not to manufacture every pound of lint grown in its borders and as much as she can buy from her less fortunate neigh bors. There is scarcely a county in our state that is not investing sufficient funds in building and loan associations to build, equip, and run a cotton mill. In the issue of September 2Sth of that ster ling friend of the south, the Manufactur ers’ Record, of Baltimore, appears an able and exhaustive article on cotton mills by co-operation, which conclusively demonstrates how every county can eas ily own and control its own cotton mills without the investment of a dollar of outside capital. Mr. D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte, N. C„ agitated the matter sev eral years ago and aided in the establish ment of several cotton mills in his own city, as well as many others over the south, which have proved very success ful. The plan as outlined is : To raise the necessary capital which is payable in installments as in building and loan associations in the shape of regular weekly or monthly payments. “Follow ing this line of thought, it was found that with shares of SIOO par value they could be paid in full as follows : 1. At the rate of $1 per week per share the par value would be reached in a little less than two years. 2. At the rate of 50 cents a week the time would be a little less than four years 3. At the rate of 25 cents per week the time would be a little less than eight years. Each of these plans of payment has been tried in Charlotte, N. C., and in each case the result has been successful.’’ It is stated that the second mode of payment—so cents per week—was found most suitable for ordinary conditions. The Record states : “Ou the basis of subscriptions aggre gating SIOO,OOO there would be paid into the company each year about $25,000. With this amount of money the buildings could be constructed and paid for in the first year. Inside the second year oue third of the machinery could be pur chased and put in operation. In three years from the time ot organization it would be usually entirely feasible to have the entire plant in operation, with some debt, which could be paid off as the installments were paid in the last year. , “A capital of SIOO,OOO will build a mill ot about 5,000 spindles and 200 looms, which would furnish work for about 10i hands. These estimates are only givei for the purpose of conveying the most aeueral idea. There are infinite condi- ; tions that might vary any one ot the j items given, and therefore in each special case the general result might be different according to the cost of materials and the kind of product desired to be made. Of course, there are various practical methods of utilising these instaHtne receipts in hastening the completion and profits by running the mill. 'VRIi such an organization as above described in the hands of conservative business men, tb , A weeklv or monthly dues would I " m a safe basis of credit for borrowiag ! capital to equip *• ■*. "“ der practical management would not only pay the interest on the borrowed money, but a fair dividend to tlie shareholders, thereby shortening the time and lessen ing the individual outlay. That this co operation or building and loan plan is perfectly feasible, is demonstrated by the following cotton mil's, illustrated and described in the Manufacturers’ Record : “The Alpha Cotton Mills.—Capital sub scribed SIOO,OOO. Product, chain warps and skeins. Subscriptions payable 25 cents per week per share. Capital paid in full iu a little less than eight years. Equipment, 0,500 spindles and 100 twist ers. This mill has been in operation about six years. “The Chewalla Cotton Mills.—Capital subscribed $50,000. Product, print cloth. Subscriptions payable 50 cents per week per share. Capital paid in full in a little less than four years. Equipment, 3,000 spindles and 100 looms. “The Ada Cotton Mill.—Capital sub scribed $128,000. Product, chain warps and skein yarns. Subscriptions payable 50 cents per week per share. Capital paid in full in less than four years- Equipment, about 8,000 spindles and 2,500 twisters. Been in oper ition about six years. “The Highland Park Gingham Mills.— Capital subscribed $150,000. Product, ginghams. Subscriptions payable $1 per week per share. Capital paid in full iu less than two years. Equipment, 400 gingham looms and dye house. Been in operation about two years. “The Gaffney Cotton Mills.—Capital subscribed $150,000. Product, print cloths. Subscriptions payable $2 per week per share. Capital paid in full in a little le-s than a year. Equipment, 7,000 spindles and 300 looms.” Many other mills have been built on the same plan, now iu successful oDera ti u. It is lamentably true that the south needs outside capital to develop her resources, but to get it, we must re member that the capital can only come with confidence. We must first help our selves and then outside help will cheer fully and abundantly come in. Cotton at 5 cents is certainly not remunerative to the grower, but it may be very largely profitable to the spinner. Eastern man ufacturers long contended that the south could not make fiue goods. They them selves have disproved this and they are moying this way to save their mill prop erty. Let's even up. If, as appears inevitable, we must grow too much cot ton, t-lie only economic plan is to manu facture it and save the whole profit to the producer. Every cotton plauter is vitally interested. If be will devote one tenth of bis ciop for a few years to building cotton mills he will double the price of bis cotton. It is practical: it is safe: it is ecouomy; it is wise. MACHINIST. Mr. E.

TWO LIVES SAVED. Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City, 111. was told by tier doctors she l ad con sumpiion and that there was no hope foi her, but two bottles of Dr. King’s New Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thus. Eggers, 139 Florida st. San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold approaching con sumption, tried without result every thing else then bought one bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He is naturally thankful. It is such results, of which these are sam ples, that prove the wonderful efficacy of this medicine in coughs and colds. Free trial bottles at R. G. Bryans, drug store.

Robertson and tells of the hidden wealth of the South in a concise inter esting way. The book is made up of lettlers from northerners who haye set tled in the South and grown rich. Tne whole object of the book is to increase the present flow of emigration to the south and will do a great good for the South. The statistics show that millions of dollars worth of fruit as well as cotton is produced by the South and shows we need a factory in every town in the South.

The commitee on grounds and build ings for the Cotton States and Interna tional Exposition has just closed a con tract for the paving of-walks and ways, with broken limestone, which has the advantage of comentiug together and making a firm smooth walk. There will be about 110,000 yards of this work and very oareful consideration has been given to the material. The contract for the fine arts building is to be let this week, and especial inter est attaches to the work, because this structure may be one of the permanent features of the exposition. It is quite probable that it will be used as a museum after the exposition is over. The design is peculiarly appropriate, because of its classic style in design and ornaments. The government draughtsman, Mr. Hamilton, who came to Atlanta last week and looked oyer the site for the Government building, says the grounds for the Cotton States and International Exposition are admirably situated and beautifully laid off. He thinks the scene will be very picturesque. WHO WAS IT? In an old memorandum picked np among the waste arouud our sanctum we find this pathetic stanza : “She pinned a bouquet on my breast, What did it say—what did she mean? ’Twas only this: You have my love, You have my heart, I’ll be your queen. Then I looked down in her face, Her eyes met mine with a ” It was written in 1881 and is in the handwriting of Mr. D. J. Thaxton, the former owner of this paper. We read it and wondered what made him quit, and why the poem was never finished or pub lished. It’s now in order for brother Thaxton to iie and explain and keep this issue of the Argus away from his home. It will pay you to read the change of advertisment of the Globe Store in this issue. No matter what others pay for cotton in Jackson, the C. G. Fennell Cos. will just go them 25c better on each bale that is brought to them. Now, this is enterprise, and our farmer friends should appreciate the efforts of the Globe Store in he'ping them, by giving them a good share of their patronage. Jackson mer chants never do things by halves, and this is one instance where one of them have gone the “whole hog.’’ Tuesday last was election day. Did you do your duty and vole?

IN MEMORIAM. Willie Carl, son of Charles A. and Eu genia Pittman, was born July 2Gtu, 1888. and went to live with the Angels, Nov. 3rd, 1894. Carl was truly a bl ight lovely boy, and now that God has called him home, we can see so many flue traits of character that he possessed that were unnoticed before he left us. lie was ever ready and faithful to do little acts of service for his devoted parents, and always the untiring friend of his little brothers iu their childish needs and wants, giving them patient attention worthy of an older head. If the loving care of a fond father pa tient Christian mother, and relatives and friends could avail aught, precious Carl would be with us to-day. But God was wiser and willed it otherwise. Diar sorrowing friends let us not forget how wonderfully good God is, to save your precious darling so many earthly trials and suffering that years bring to all. One day those of us who are faithful to the end, will see and feel and know God’s merciful love in what now seems a crushing sorrow. A Fkiexd. DON’T YOU THINK SO? Everybody who is anybody takes the Argus. The reason we say so is because every issue of the paper contains some little bit of information that is worth five times the price of the paper. Read er you may think this don’t apply to you and that you have never been so much benefitted, if so, you are bound to sup port your eouuty paper anyway as much as you are your church. A man who does not support the public necessities of bis county is not worthy of any posi tion the people might give him. But if you will think you can remember some advertiseme it, if nothing more, that saved you more than the price of the paper. Besides a notice worth nothing to you might be worth fifty dollars to your neighbors. Now read this, and if it is not worth money to you it is not our fault that thefelou has not jet come; file it away it will c -me some day: “There is no use of losing sleep from a bone-felon. Wrap a cloth loosely around the felon, leaving the end open. Pour gun-powder in the end and shake it down until the end is covered, then keep it wet with camphor. In two hours the paiu will be reli ;ved and a perfect cure will follow quickly.” We are sorry to learn that Mr. Tobe Thompson entertains an idea of leaving Butts eouuty. He returned to Jackson on Monday night after a two weeks jaunt prospecting in southwest Georgia, and says he ha3 been very well pleased with his trip, and may locate in one of Geor -1 gia’s fertile southwestern domains.
