SMALL COTTQN FACTORIES,
Many people think it takes several
hundred thousand dollars to start a
cotton factory, when in reality a prof
itable enternrise of the kind can be
operated on a comparatively modest
capital. says an exchange. A short
" time ago the New Orleans Picayune
sent a correspondent inte North Caro
lina to investigate the question. He
came across a number of mills with a
capital of $25,000 that were paying
handsome dividends. In hundreds of
places in the cotton states there are
cities where transportation facilities
are ample and freight rates reasonable,
where water power and fuel are abun
dant and where labor is plentiful and
cheap. With the raw material at their
doors small mills Intelligently super
intended ought to pay from the start
and easily compete with the heavy
milling properties that are being op
erated in New England under abnor
mal conditions and with the elements
of distance, transportation and chmate
against them. .
Dawson could easily raise $25,000.
Then why not a cotton factory here?
ITaLy wants an apology from China.
If it is not forthcoming Italy will send
over some great warships and shoot
the stufling out of China. What is it
that Pig-tail has done to. Macaroni?
Why, the outrageous heathen has said
that he does not care to lease a certain
bay, San Mun bay, to good chrisfan
Macaroni, which bay the aforesaid good
christian needs in his business. Hon
or demands that this dastardly insult
shall be avenged. Nothing will wipe
out the stigma but blood—or the con
cession of Sau Mun bay.—Savannah

A Mg. E. F. Axprews wants hang
ing abolished in Georgia, and writes
an article to the Washington Chronicle
against the taking hence of criminals
by the rope route. One trouble in
Georgia now is that there are too few
instead of too many hangings. Senti
mentalism causes too many criminals
to escape their just deserts, and theres
forg encourages and is responsible for
much of the erime that is committed,
ALBANY is making extensive prepar
ations for Chautauqua, which will
open April 2nd. The program is an
urusually interesting one, and the ap
proaching session promises to be one of
the most brilhant and interesting 1n
the history of the institution. The
railroads will run special trains, and
the usual large number of visitors from
Dawson and Terrell county will at

THE effort to haye Governor Candler
discipline the Griffin military company
for turning out to protect the citizens
of that town from a regiment of rowdy
negro soldiers will fail. Your Uncle
Allen is a Georgian and understands
the situation. And above all, he is
possessed of an unsommon amount of
hard, practical sense,
Tue Hon, Babe Bailey has resigned
the leadership of the democratic side
of the lower house of congres. The
Hon. Babe appears to have been
a leader only in name, and therefore

had about it. :
IN the retirement of Dr. . M. How
ard from the Early County News the
state press loses one of Its most
forceful and fearless writers. Mr. A,
J. Fleming assumes entire control
of the paper and will keep it in the
front rank of weeklies.

Wuy shouldn’t Terrell take that
$l,OOO premium offered for the best
county exhibit at the state fair? Here
isan opportueit-y for some live citizen
to ‘‘grease his palms’ and render a
valuable service to the county at the

most. It will give elastic endurance to
the entire delicate organism involved in
motherhood. It will make the coming of

free from pain.
It will insure the baby’s start in life by
imparting, through its influence upon the
mother, that sturdy infantile vigor which
gladdens a mother’s heart. It is the only
medicine which can be implicitly relied

Georgia keeps on educating more law

than there are patients and more preach

the east is turning out men who can
build and run engines, who can build

Kidney trouble has become so prevas
lent that it is not uncommcn ‘or a child
to be born afflicted with weak kidneys.
If the child urinates to often, if the
urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the
child reaches an age when it should be
able to control the passage and is yet
afflicted with bad-wetting, depend upon
it the cause of the difficulty is kidney
trouble, and the first step should be to
wards the treatment of these important
organs. This unpleasant trouble is due
to a diseased condition of the kidneys
and bladder and not to a habit, as most
people suppose,
If the adult has rheumatism, pain or
dull ache in the back, if the water pasces
in irregular quantities, or at irregular
intervals, or has a bad odor, if it stains
the linen or vessel the color of rast, if
the feet swell, if there are puffy or dark
circl 8 uncer the eyes, your kidneys are
the cause and npeed doctoring, Treats
ment of some diseases may be delayed
without danger, not so with this disease.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the great
kidney, liver and biadder remedy,
promptly cures the most distressing
cases. Its mild and extraordinary effect
is soon realized. Sold by druggists in
