TEXTILE MILLS AWAIT PROOF
Orders Held Up Pending Assurance
Of Which Way Markets To Go.
Conditions in the textile industry
throughout Georgia are not as bright
as they were a few weeks ago because
of the low price of cotton at this time
and the uncertainty as to what the
farmers are going to actually do ni the
way of acreage reduction, according
to the Textile World, of New York,
the report originating from the repre
sentative of the Journal.
P. E. Glenn, secretary of the Gf:'orgial
Cotton Manufacturers Association, was
quoted in the Textile World as declar
ing that the mills of Georgia are op-l
‘erating at the present time more on
‘their nerve than anything else, with
‘but few orders being received. This
condition, he declared, will exist untill
it is definitely known what the Georgia |
farmers, and the farmers throughout‘
the South, will do in the way of cot
ton acreage reduction this year.

“Poor Whites” of Porto Rico.
Nor was servitude confined to Afrk
cans. Spain long used Porto Rico as
& penal colony, and when public works
no longer required them, the convicts
‘were turned loose to shift for them
selves. Most of them took to the moun
talns, where the “poor white” popula
tion is numerous to this day. Yet the
later generations are no more crim
-inal than the Australiana; If there is
lmeh petty thieving, it is natural in
'8 hungry, overcrowded community.
