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.

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

narrow minded men Who. be¬

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

and to Eiberton. in each of which i

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.

to bid absolute defiance to this
deadly scourge, is to be able to
strengthen the weak lungs, and

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
