The Boy With One Eye Open.
South’s Advantages.
A well known cotton manufacturer
of Massachusetts who recently made
A_Wl' through the South sets forth the
reasons why tne cotter, mills of New
cannot compete with those
of this section of the country in the
production of the coarser grades of
goods. In an interview with the Bos¬
ton Herald lie says:
“A modern brick cotton mill in an
average southern location can be
built about 20 per cent, cheaper than
in the North. There is no lack of
water supply, and as a rule this is
cheap. In Alabama coal is obtained
at $1.50 per ton, rendering the cost of
steam power about one half that of
the average New' England mill. The
item of wages show from 25 to 50 per
cent, in favor of the South. In the
matter of transporting the raw cotton
from the fields there is a substantial
saving, and in many cases the haul¬
ing made direct, without the necessity
and expense of the compress. Taxes
are low, and tempting premiums are
frequently offered, either by towns or
through the medium of ‘■Rate laws.”
A Pleasant Duty.
■T feel it my duty to give you a truth¬
ful aecountof what Chamberlain’s Col-
ic,Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy did.’
writes J. S. Collins, of Moore, S. C.
“ I bad a child about two years old
that had the diarrhoea for two months.
I tried all the best known remedies,
but none gave the least relief. When
this remedy came to hand, I gave it
as directed, and in two days the child
was completely cured.” Sold by J. II.

Eugene V. Debs draws this moral
from a recent event: “What does
great wealth do for a man? Look at
the fate of Barney Barnato. He fell
a victim to a system which is crushing
thousands of poor men out of exist¬
ence. It is a system of gorging one
and famishing the other, with the
dreadful penalty for both, one driven
to insanity and suicide, and the other
to starvation and crime. Our rich
men are living abnormal and unhappy
lives, and so are our poor men. The
burden of the present system is too
great for both.”
A Grateful Letter From a Baptist Min¬
ister.
I was suffering from rheumatism
when I was advised to use Chamber¬
lain’s Pain Balm. I now desire to
attest to the happy results. A few
applications of this liniment proved of
great service to me. It subdued the
inflammation and relieved the pain.
Should any sufferer profit by giving
Pain Balm a trial it will please me.—
Respectfully and gratefully yours, E.
