CHAS. BERGSTROM, Ciuwro vDVILU , ga. A Cotton Mill asan Adjuiict to a Country Bank. „ The following address was delivered by B. S. Walter- Pres * „kmt i 4 of The rpu r . Mouroo \Tr\nC’ottOQ Cotton Mills and Vice-1 resident > , Bank of Monroe Georgia, before | the Banker's Association of Georgia, at their convention held at Warm Springs, Ga., on the 0 th inst. We hope every citizen in Taliaferro county will read and remember it, and that all will go to work and let’s manufacture our cotton in the county: There are in almost every town in Georgia merchants who fume and fret every time a new merchant locates in their town; doctors who criticize and slander the new pill-roller as he comes fresh from the medical college with his new crisp diploma, pre pared as he thiuks to heal all the diseases to which humanity is subject; lawyers who pounce upon the new limb of the law, and in a sneering manner adver tise his mistakes in his first cases and predict his failure in places likely to do him harm; bankers who groan in disgust every time they see Mr. Witham has opened a new bank. There are cotton mill men in this state now roll ing in anguish, fretting their lives away because they see now and then a new cotton mill pro jected in some Georgia town; and, if by chance they are ap pealed to for advice by those in tending to build a new mill, they tell the parties to keep their money out of cotton mills, that there are already too many in the country, those now ruuning do not pay and often times they defeat the buildingof the mill. I am thankful 1 do not belong to this class of croakers. I am one ol those who believe every hale of cotton produced Georgia, in (jh or ia should be spun in There is no such thing as too many mills in Georgia, or in the South, so long as a single bale of cotton is shipped to New Itmgland or across the water. I am Ured of seetng our farmei s sell their cotton. at *25; 1 ™ bale to formgu manufactuters and b UJ !I ** efvi m*jItfio JJc" 1 l state . at fiom *b to 3v5. fhe the rb f ference between the price rece. v ed and price paid having gone to pay freight, to ic manufacturers and feed and clothe the poor of otliei couu pie are left to spend their lives cotton r T»T»^ew m dare H ^!r'^ several hundred of his operatives ."nTyKing w.uv Dassiii‘ r out n"<1^cWMng of his mill- thJ “I poor people more than I enjoy all the money I've made.” If by what I shall say here to day I can arouse one dead, sleepy towu to action; if I can cause one honest Georgia widow with her helpless children to leave the cotton field, where they are not making expenses, and move to j a new cotton mill to be built in her county town; to move from tno old dilapidated cabin in the country to the liew, white wt null village neuib. * where they will make moJV tlioy c ] ear have money made ill Olie iu twelve month j months on the cotton farm, l will he delighted and will welcome the siure and abuse of those selfish, narrow minded men Who. be¬ cause they own a few shares m some cot n mi l or perhaps) hold an o.iicc in one. will shower upon iny head their harshest epi*. hets. I a n almost prepared to say wherever there is a bank in u Georgia town and no cotton mill, the bank has not done its ditty. I will say most emphatically the bank has neglected a most im¬ portant opportunity for increa¬ sing its own business and the bu • ines> of every individual iu i.i> community, from the iargestuier chant- to the most insignificant washer-woman or wood chopper. For the proof of this assertion I have but to refer you to my own town, Jackson, Monroe, to Harmony Toccoa. j Grove, to to ; and to Eiberton. in each of which i atvrdomi | 1 X 1 **$*££• ™ those towns.

You will be surprised to see how nobly they will respond. weeks banker Not many ago, a in a Georgia town suddenly awoke to the fact that the manu¬ facturing towns around him were out stripping his own town, and determined to build a cotton mill. He appealed in vain to the only wealthy in n in his town to subscribe. .-if ter exhausting every argument and failing to move him to action, he finally proposed to go to Monroe to .see the new mill. They came. The doubting Thomas was convinced; he subscribed £15.000 to the new mill; others followed in quick succession, and the amount needed was soon raised. The mill is now organized and the man referred to is itsenthnsiastic vice-president. If you tind such a character in your town, try this remedy on him. If you are charitably inclined and would mingle philanthropy with your business investments, how better could you act than by gathering several hundred of the worthy poor of your county into a new cotton mill village? If belong to that class who believe all the ills of tnecountry are due to the over-production of cotton, why not show your laith by your works and take from the fields se’veral hundred laborers and put- them to manu facturing cotton instead of producing it. [Concluded on third page.] English “Society for the p eution of Consumption > t rev presided over by the Prince of Wales, was recently addressed by Sir William Broadbent, who stated that it was definitely known that every case of con began with a germ communicated from some other r J?here is no such thing as n h e rited consumption. There may be local weakness which tends to consumption, hut the germ has absolutely to be planted in that weak spot before constunp tion can ensue. This ought to comfort thousands of people who have “weak chests” or “weak lungs.” They are not foreordained victims of this dread disease. All that is needed to bid absolute defiance to this deadly scourge, is to be able to strengthen the weak lungs, and build up a strong body.

G. Moore, about it, Crawfordvi!le, Ga. Mr. H. N. Warner, of Minden, Neb., said: “ In 1894 I was attacked with paralysis in my left side. You might stick a pin to the head into my left hip and I would not feel it. I was unable to do any kind of work and had to be turned in bed. I made up my mind that I could not be cured as I had used all kinds of medicine and had tried many doctors. I was ad¬ vised to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills^for Pale People, and com meacled their use last September. Before I had finished my first box I felt better, and by the time I had used six boxes the disease had en¬ tirely disappeared, and I have not been so free from pain since I w-as a boy. The paralysis also disap¬ peared, and although two months have passed since I finished my last box, there has been no recur¬ rence of the disease .”—From the Gazette , Minden , Neb.
