another cotton mill.
griffin fast becoming a man
ufacturing CENTER
The Spalding Cotton Mills Will be
Built as Soon as Charter Is Secur
ed—Capital Stock SIOO,OOO-
Griffin is to have another large cot
ton mill before the end of this year.
The application for charter will ap
pear ii» the Evening Call tomorrow,
and work will begin upon the building
as soon as possible.
Tho Call has known for several
days that the mill was an assured fact,
but not until today wire the plans
sufficiently matured to warrant its an
nr,uncement.
The new mill will be known as the
Spalding Cotton Mills, and will have a
paid up capital stock of SIOO,OOO, with
the privilege of increasing it to $200,»
000.
It will be built almost exclusively
by local capitalists, among the num
ber being Douglas Boyd, Seaton I
Grantland, W. J. Kincaid, .1. D. Boyd,
J. J. Mangham, H. C. Buir, J VV
Mangham, G. J. Coppedge, N. B.
Drewry, R. W. Lynch, L S. Earley
and others.
As soon as the charter has been
granted the stockholders will meet
and elect officers, but, who will be
placed at the head of the uew mills
could not be learned.
Tbe promoters of the enterprise
have the option on several bodies of
land near the city, but have not fully
decided where tbe mill will be locat
ed.
Messrs. J. J. and J. W. Mangham
have been untiring in their efforts to
to secure this mill for Griffin, and to
them is largely due the credit for its
early erection. They, like many nth
ers, realize that Griffin to be a city
of any importance, must build man
ufacturing entrrprises, and they con
tripute liberally of their means to
secure them.
Tbe Call congratulates Griffin up
on securing this mill, and hopes its
stockholders will find it as profitable
as the two mills-now in operation.
Americans as Fighters-
Our two wars of 1898-99, with Spain
and with tbe Filipinos, have proved
wonderful educators. We have learn
ed more of our own power and 'esour- :
ees than we ever knew before, and
Europe has learned that we are a pen-;
pie to be feared and respected. One |
consequence will be that we shall ;
hereafter be treated with more defer
ence by tbe other Bowers, because
those Powers have now witnessed a
demonstration of the capacity of the
American as a fighting man in foreign
lands and on foreign waters, and they
now know that be fights anywhere
with about as much dash and daring
and intrepid courage as he does on hie
own soil The great civil war gave
the world an illustration of American
valor and endurance that will never be
forgotten ; but in that conflict the con
testants were on home ground, and it
was only natural to suppose that
Americans would fight more desperate
ly at home than abroad.
That seems to have been about the
general idea entertained in foreign
countries In some parts of Europe
tht re was a disp.isition to make light
of the United States as a military
power, because we kept such a very
small standing army. It was thought
that the fighting spirit would die out;
that the nation would become effemi
nate ; that volunteer troops could not
be depended upon to fight successful
battles, if called on short notice to the
defense of the national policy, all such
ideas have been abundantly disproved.
I ne battles of Manila bay and Santia
go proved that the American navy is
manned by sailors who keep cool and
shoot straight; in short, that it is one
of the fitest and most efficient organi
zations of its kind in tbe world.
And in the lar.d battles in Cuba last
year, and in the Philippines this year,
the soldiers, regular and volunteer,
have proved that for coinage, fortitude
and accurate marksmanship, they are
the peers of any that ever went into
the field, and the superiors of many of
the crack troops of the European na
tions. A number of Englishmen, Ger
mans and Spaniards who have recent
ly witnessed the lighting about Manila
and Calocan are quoted in a letter to
the New York Evening Post, as ex
pressing ‘ unbounded astonishment,
not only at the bravery of the men in
battle, but the fortitude and cheerful
ness of the wounded ” "It was a rev
e.ation to them," continued the cor
respondent,'‘these two traits of the
American soldier, which won their
admiration and made them respect
the niiiit< ‘ r . T potentiality of
1U,000,000 such people as these.” We
are a peace-loving people but when
it becomes necessary to fight, we can
• trike quickly and as hard and often
as may be required io achieve our
desired ends—Savannah News.
I
. ADMINISTRATION CRITICISED
It Has Not Dealt Honestly in Regard
to the Volunteers in Philippines-
& W a sll iNoTuN, May lt>.—(Special j
The administration has not dealt hen
estly’with the country in regard to
the volunteers in tbe Philippines. It
has given out one thing about bring-
■ ing home these men, who have been
worked and fought so continuously
■ that many of them are now unfit for
> duty, when it knew that another thing
> | was to be doue. Il has told the coups
try that Gen. Otis had been ordered to
I send the volunteers home as fast as
, transportation cauld be secured for
’ them, when Otis had really been in
structed to keep the vo uutcers as long
as he needed them and could make
1 them appear to stay willingly. This
1 has been suspected for some time, but
when two transports left Manila for
J San Francisco last week, with only
sick and wounded men aboard, and
I two more with no soldiers aboard, it
became a certainty. It is now private-
Ily acknowledged by members of the
| administration that it had, from the
first, been the intention of Otis to
keep the volunteers until the Filipinos
surrendered,and that the bluft' about:
bringing them home as fast as vessels
could be made available was thrown
out because it was thought that ths
surrender wouffi occur before there
111 1
would be any opportunity to send
them home. A government of tbe
people can never add to its strength |
or popularity by deceiving the people.
Every such deception is an itnnnon.
r o 1
meat of the pratriotism of the peeple. (
Tbe disappointment felt in admin- -
istrat ion circles over the failure of the
expected surrender of Aguinaldo to
materialize, is so acute that it cannot
be hidden, and officials who have been
so glib for several weeks past, in pre
dicting the speedy finish of Aguiualdo, j
cannot be coaxed to talk about the
probabilities there at all.
Admiral Schley has accepted an in ! (
vitation from ex-Senator Manderson,
to pay him a visit at bis Nebraska!
home, and will leave for the West at j
1 I
once. He will probably take advan- i
tage of the opportunity, while in that I .
section, to visit a number of other t
Western points, to which he has been : ;
cordially invited.

: miral Dewey is as well received all ! ,
over the country as it has been ini
1 Washington, enough money is likely -

town, instead of a eing.e bouse. Dewey .
has notified the navy department that f
he will leave Manila in a few days, ,
aud get to tbe United States in about ; ,
four months, which indicates his in»
' e
tention to make the homeward voyage
in a very leisurely manner, as the trip .
could easily be made inside of two
months. His friends say that the ad- .
miral wishes to give himself a chance (
to get good and strong, and the cool
weather of fall to arrive, before he

tackles ovations which await him in

Race Question- I
When some fool injected the race 1
question into tbe International Suu- a
day School convention in Atlanta last 1
week, Vice President Green, of that
c
city, fired this shot at him: 1 A e life ]
here among these people. We respect
them. We treat them right. We
treat them as nicely as we do our own
color. But we do draw tbe line when
it comes to sitting together in the
same pew. So long as the negro re
mains a quiet, honest, law-abiding cit
izeri, he is treated with the utmost re
spect in. the South.
"The real friends of tbe negro are
those who seek to make him better,
more industrious and law abiding citi
zsns \V hen the negro is what he
should be in the way of a citizau, there
will no longer be a race question to
solve in the south ” Hurrah for Green!

A Rival for Ice Trusts
The liquefaction r f a t - t u.r
! the ('ream nf rci - .i ,-ij : ii
complished fuel. id ..i ihe
liquid are being [ reduced iu th iabtflr
atoryof.Mr Tripier, in New York,
every day. I pto thi« time, however,
the demonstration has been more of a
laboratory triumph than anything else.
!\o method of producing the liquid at
a cost which would make it available
for commercial purposes has yet beeb |
perfected, though it is promised that#;
plant now in process of consirnctiop
iu New York will be in operntiojb
probably tbe latter part of this month,
when, if the aims of the inventor are
reached, liquid air will be produced
more cheaply than and as easily as ice
is made. And it is the purpose of tbe
inventor in Question, a young man of
the name of Ostrager, to bring liquid
air into the market in competition !
with ice,
Mr, Tripier, concerning whose iu« j
ventionsand wonderful experiments;
with liquid air we have printed several!
articles, uses an apparatus in v. bicb an i
initial pressure of 2,000 pounds to the !
square inch is necessary to the lique
faction of the air. Ostrager, who is
said to ba an inventor of ability, has 1
invented an apparatus of different pat
tern which, it is claimed, will perform '
I■• -
lhe same functions with an initial
pressure of GGO pounds to the square
inch. It will readily appear from this
statement that the latter apparatus
can be operated much more cheaply
than the former. Mr. Ostrager has
been able to convince several capital
ists of the correctness of bis experi
ments and deductions, and they have
furnished him with money to build a
$30,000 plant, which will be finished
during the latter part of this month,
when a number of scientific experts
will inspect and study it.
Il is the purpose of Mr. Ootrager
and his friends, if the apparatus per
forms what is expected of it, to go at
once into the market with liquid air
as a refrigerating agent. Its tempera
ture, it will be recalled, is 312 degrees
below zero. It is to be placed in jars
covered partially with a line film frmn ,
which a tube will extend, permitting I
a slow and safe evaporation of the
liquid air. 'l’he jars are to be delivered I
to hotels, residences and elsewhere ‘
that a cooling agent is desired, and j
they may be placed inside refrigerators .
or ice boxes, just as a lump of ice is. j
The cost, it is believed, w ill be lees I
than the cost of a quantity of ice!
necessary to perform similar service.!
The liquid air, meantime, would be
not only cooling but a purifyingagent
in the refrigerator. All impurities are
removed from the air in the process of
liquefaction, hence the pure oxygen,
hydrogen and ozore that would be lib
erated in the refrigerator in the pro
cess of evaporation would absorb the
impurities in lhe chamber.
There is, to be sure, an element of
doubt about the perfect success of
Ostrager's apparatus, and the ice trusts
may not be threatened with serious
competition on the part of liquid air
makers this year but it seems altos
gether probable that the time is not
far distant when the newly discovered
liquid will be made available for gen
eral use as a cooling agent, and prob
ably alsoasa motor power—Savannah

Gov. Flower and Trusts.
Former Governor Roswell P Fluwer,
who has come to bis untimely enc,
had some particular ami very di finite
ideas as to trusts and trade combina
tion)!, He was a very rich man and
was much engaged in the administra
tion of properties of an industrial char
acter. In the course of an interview
held with him, a short time before his
death, Mr. Flower said he believed
that "so far as they are operated on
the principle of reducing il.c pi ice of
product to lhe consumer, so far as they
i are to cheapen the cost of production,
i They are a growth of the times They
i are here to slay. Combinations of
capital that are made for the purpose
i of reducing the cost of production and
reducing lhe price of the finished pro
duct to the consumer are all right.’’
But this does not present the case
fully. The trouble is that, trusts are
not organized for the mere purpose of
reducing the price. As surely as fate,
the moment the trust shall find itself
in a position absolutely to control
prices there will be an advance in
prices. This is inevitable, for it is in
accordance with human nature.
Many persons believe that there is
not enough cohesiveness among the
projectors of trusts to make them en
dure permanently. This may be true,
, But how much better it would be for
| manufacturing to ba earned on in the
old way without the contest imminence
of a great financial crash'.' It cannot
1 bo wise to smother competion no mat
j ter in what way it may be attempted.
, The liberty of the people is safe only
las prices shall b ■ left to depend upon
! the demands of the market. Business
' predicted upon the ability to stifle
.' competition cannot be regarded as
being upon a sound rpt q>er business.
