ADVANTAGES OF THE SOCTII IS THE COT¬
TON MILL INDUSTRY SET FORTH.
Ti.e Tradesman, of Chattanooga, has
instituted au exhaustive inquiry into the
cotton mill indu-try of the South, and
has received reports fr<m all leading
mill* of the southern states. The actual
number of mills in operation is of 339
against 142, in 1880, an increase 232
per cent, since the census year, The in
crease in mill consumption been of raw cotton
in the same period has 253 percent.
South Carolina is the banner state;
132 319 bales were consumed in that
statc last year, against 120,963 bales in
Georgia. The consumption of increased raw cot
ton m South Carolina has
33 p<r cent, in two years. The
concensus of opinions of leading
manufacturers of the South in their
written reports to the Tradesman, is that
the South possesses advantages over any
other portion of America for cotton m m

sustain all those who obeyed his princi¬

W. Taylor commended the people to give
obeisence to the priesthood, “These

for God. I bear my testimony that
President Woodruff and his counsellors
are hand prophets, seers and revelators. The
of God is over this church, and no
