Cotton Mills in tile South.
Savannah Xeve.
A Year of Cyclones.
Savannah Xews.
p§m
The rapid increase in the nam-
ber of cotton mills in the South is
calculated to make thinking men
wonder how long it will be before
the cotton which is grown in the
South will be manufactured into
cotton goods in Southern mills.
And why should not the South con
sume the bulk of her cotton crop
in mills of her own? She ought to
be able to manufacture cjtton
goods cheaper than they can be
manufactured elsewhere, because
she has good and cheap labor that
can be easily trained to tend the
spindles and looms. She has
genial climate and she produces
food products in such quantities as
to make living as cheap within her
limits as anywhere else in the civ
ilized world. Her mills can get
cotton for several dollars a bale
less than it can be obtained by the
mills in New England or in Europe,
According to an authoritative
report, which the Morning Neivs
published a few dajs ago, the
Southern cotton mills consumed in
the year ending Aug. 81, 546,368
bales of cotton, and in the previous
year 481,245 bales. The increase
in the consumption of Southern
mills, therefore, was 65,118 bales—
a very gratifying increase, but not
as great as it ought to have been
yet great enough to show that the
South is waking up to the fact that
there is great wealth for her
manufacturing her cotton crop.
The number of cotton mills now
in operation in the South is 270,
having 1,665,191 spindles. Thir
ty-nine new mills have begun work
ing this year, and they have 241,
864 spindles. Fifteen more' mills
will be completed this fall, and will
be in operation before Christmas.
Quite a number of mills are idle
now from one cause and another
but it is expected that nearly all
the idle ones will soon be in oper
ation. The total number of mills
iu the South is 336, having 40,819
looms and 1,819,291 spindles.
It is a noteworthy fact that the
increase in the number of-spindles
in the South during the last year
is equal to almost half the number
that was in the South ten years
ago. This fact shows that cotton
manufacturing in the South is
creasing at a wonderful rate. It
justifies the conclusion that within
a comparatively few years the
South will be the cotton manufac
turing, as well the cotton produc
ing, section of the country. The
future of the South certainly looks
promising.
The list of disasters and fatal
ities resulting from cyclones has
been so large this year that 1890
will be memorable, probably, in
history as the cyclone year. The
total number of lives lost in this
country so far this year by the
agency of-eyelones is 915, as com
pared with 163 in 1889, 350 in
1888,18S in 1S87, 272 in 1886, and
111 in 1885. It would not be sur

1S90 would show an aggregate
larger than the last five years com
bined. The old world’s record is
even larger than ours. It adds
3,531 victims.to the list. The
course of the cyclone is queer, and
its distribution is indicated in the
following statement of the signal
service bureau:
From observations made by the
signal corps in the last score of
years, together with such data as
that body has been able to gain on
the subject for previous years,
Missouri and Kansas are more sub
ject to attacks from the cyclone
than any other states. In the
seventy-eight years covered by the
statistics which the corps published
a year or two ago, Missouri has
been visited 156 and Kansas 153
times. - It would naturally be ex
pected that some state m the im
mediate neighborhood of these
would stand next on the list, but
this assumption-is shown by the
records to be groundless. After
Kansas Georgia, with 128 calls, re
ceives more attention tha nany oth
er state, followed closely, however,
by Illinois, with 127, and Iowa
with 118. Then a skip must be
taken to the far south again, where
Alabama stands with 102 to her
credit. Nearly or. quite every
state east of the Rocky Mountains
has a place on the cyclone records.
We, in Georgia this year have
been almost exempt, fortunately,
from cyclone visits, but the north
ern and western states have suffer
ed severely from the cyclone’s
fury.

Chief of Police Crowley, of San
Francisco, who has been at tbe
head of the police department for
eighteen years, say the Chinese
there commit more crimes in pro
portion to their number than any
other race, and are the most diffi
cult of detection.
Undeserved praise is of double
import ; we feel it is unmerited, and
we feel also that it might have been.

Old Bad Blood may yet be con
quered and disease driven from
the citadel of life. Yo • have not
used the proper remedy, or long
ago you would have felt a change.
You have tried this and that, a
hundred bottles of this specific and
fifty bottles of that sarsaparilla,
and feel you might as well have
used so much raiu water for all
the good effect they had. Why
have you not tried B. B. B. (Bo
tanic Blood'Balm) made iu Atlan
ta, Ga.? Because it isn’t adver,
tised so conspicuously as other
remedies? Well, that’s a pooi-
reason. The greatest humbugs can
afford the largest advertisements.
Ask for B. B. B.; try it, and if six
bottles don’t do you more good
than all the other blood medicine
you have ever taken, call it a hum
bug, a name that has never been
applied to it by any one.
Walter Bridges, Athens, Tenn.,
writes: “For six years I had been
afflicted with running sores ancl an
enlargement of the bone in my leg.
I tried everything I heard of with
out any permanent benefit until
Botanic Blood Balm was recom
mended to me. After using six bot
tles the sores healed, and lam now
in better health than I have ever
been. I send this testimonial un
solicited, because I want others to
be benefitted.”
A good story is told on Judge
H. G. Struve, one of the prominent
citizens of Seattle. While the
great fire was raging he rushed up
into his office to save some of his
most valuable books. It- is well
known that he had accumulated a
vast amount of material which he
purposed working up into a histo
ry of Washington. This material
and some of his books were very
precious to him. So as the fire
came sweeping down ‘toward his
office lie rushed np-stairs and be
gan to select the books most valu
able. “Ah, this one I will save.
No, I guess this one is more valua
ble.” Thus he hesitated, and
among his many books, which were
all dear to him, he was unable to
decide which ones to save. Just
then the cries of the firemen were
raised, and the judge was urged to
come down and save his life.
Being thoroughly alarmed, and
still undecided, he turned and
grabbed the -first book within
reach, and rushed out of the build
ing. Reaching the pavement he
found he had saved—the city di
rectory.
Hannibal Hamlin, who has lived
under every president but three,
when asked recently why he did
not write his memoirs, said he
could not trust his memory, and
he had failed to-keep a diary du
ring his political career. He is in
perfect health at 81, because of la
bor in the fields.

A Scrap or Paper Saves Tier Life,
It was just an ordinary scrap of
wrapping paper, but it saved her
life. She was in the last stages of
consumption, told by physicians
that she was incurable and could
live only a short time; she weigh
ed less than seventy pounds. On
a piece of wrapping paper she
read of Dr. King’s New Discovery,
and got a sample bottle; it helped
her, she bought a large bottle, it
helped her more, bought another
and grew better fast, continued its
use and is now strong, healthy,
rosy, plump, weighidg 140 pounds.
