Seven Cotton TIilh.
Those who heard of the seven
cotton mills at Griffin do not know
the circumstances .under which
they were bnilt. Col. J. W. Kin
caid, of Griffin, told the Atlanta
correspondent of the Macon Tele
graph about it recently, and here
is wbat be said:
“About the time we bnilt oar
first mill Griffin was pretty well
ran down at the heel. The spirit
of the people was lagging and the
towD was practically drying ap.
Hundreds of people were out of
employment and the merchants
were grambling on account of the
prevailing dull times. X was in
the dry goods business and bad
made a little money.' I bad a talk
with Seaton Grantland and one or
two others about a cotton factory
and we concluded to build one.
The idea was not so much that there
was money in the enterprise, but
the object of the venture was to
see if something of that sort could
not liven up things a little. We
built the mill and it paid from the
jump. Then we goi up the money
and commenced the building of
the second factory. Before the
walls were up the stock m the fac
tory sold at a premium of 115, and
the success that.these two mills
met with caused others to be built.
I am no! going to build any more,
for the simple fact that I have all
that I can attend to now with the
mills under my coutrol, bat other
companies will no doubt build oth
er mills. The building of these
industries has done a great deal
for Griffin. It has increased her
population, and in consequence in
creased her business interests, par
ticularly in retail trade.
“The truck farmers, milk men
aDd every other class, find a better
market for their products, as the
operatives need all these things,
and have money with which to pay
for them.”

When a trust can make $42,500,
000 a year on a capital of $25,000,-
000, as the Carnegie Frick com
bine has done; when the Standard
Oil trust declares a quarterly div
idend of $20,000,000; when Mr. Oar-
negie’s annual income is over $24,-
000,000 and Mr. Rockefeller’s $30,-
000,000, it is not necessary to say
that such imperial revenues can
only be derived from the exercise
of monopoly’s power to tax the
people unjustly. Neither Mr. Car
negie nor Mr. Rockefeller can pos
sibly render such service to society
ns honestly to earn wages so colos
sal. And these two gentlemen rep
resent a class wfio are daily milk
ing the public as they do, though
with less dazzling resalts. The
trusts lay the entire country under
enforced tribute—which simply
means robbery. The trusts are
looting the American people as
truly as though they were success
ful: invading armies. Their wea
pon of extortion is monopoly. The
interstate commerce commission
has been about as serviceable in
curing the abuses of railroad ad
ministration as a snub from Pro
fessor Hardley to Collis P. Hunt
ingtoD would bo. The Chicago
conference adheres to the true
principle. It strikes at the root of
the trusts tree instead of concern
ing itself with the branches. The
partnership between the railroads
nud the trusts is at the bottom of
most of the monopoly which piles
up such fortunes as Mr. Rockefel
ler enjoys. That neither Mr. Car
negie nor Mr. Rockefeller is in
uned of any government protection
is as clear as daylight.- Phil. North

Ex-Senator John J, Ingalls of
Kansas seems to possess the virtue
of perfect candor even when con
sidering his own case, He con
fesses that measured by the stand
ard of great success he has been a
failure in life, and yet be has the
grace to blame no one bat himself.
Looking back over the past fifty
years, he says he is unable to see
that he has been denied “any right,
privilege or opportunity enjoyed
by those who have drawn the
prizes in the lottery of life,” and
adds:
“If laws were unjust, all alike
were their victims. If statutes
were beneficent none were debarr
ed their advantage. Those who
climbed the highest began lowest.
None was favored by legislation or
influence. Lincoln and Grant,
neither suspected of greatness,
were waiting in homely indigence
the summons that, ten years later,
was to call them to immortal fame.
Edison, the mightiest magician of
the force of nature, was a tramp
ing telegrapher. Carnegie was a
messenger boy iu Pittsburg. Hunt
ington .was selling picks, nails and
horseshoes.- iu Sacramento. Jay
Gonld was a book agent in Dela
ware county. The Rockefellers
and the mob of plutocrats who ex
cite the envy and arouse the indig
nation of those who have failed,
all began in the lowest and hum
blest walks of life. I had the same
chance, and every boy of that
time had the same chance. The
world was all before where to
choose, aDd Providence my guide
I had the right to build railroads
or to go into Wall street and wreck
them,- to invent a telephone, to
write ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin,’ to mine
for gold and silver, to concoct pat
ent medicines, to corner petrole
um, to bull pork and wheat, like
my contemporaries. The only
thing I lacked was brains.”
Perhaps it was not so much the
lack of brains as the lack of indus
try, the lack of concentration, the
lack of tenacity of purpose. Mr.
Ingalls may be lacking in what he
calls “brains”—by which ha means
great talent—but his confession
shows that he is by no means lack
ing in good sense. His whole
some admissions should be of use
to others as well as to himself. The
discontented and envious, who are
too often also the indolent and in
capable, would do well to devote
some few moments of serious re
flection to a confession which is as
poihted as it is remarkable.
The Candidate.
“O, he’s a jolly fellow, and full
of vain conceits, and sees a bosom
friend in every man he meets. He
asks about yoar family, your hors
es and your hogs, and takes a
friendly interest iu your children
and your dogs. ■ O, he’s a jolly
gentleman, gamesome as a lamb,
blithesome as a meadow lark, as
happy as a clam. His prospects
are the brightest, aDd his chances
they are sure, and he spends his
money freely and he helps the
needy poor. He goes to church on
Sunday and his quiet traits ap
pear, but when necessary he will
then set up to beer. O, he’s a san
guine, buoyant duck, the jocund

cheerfully; ‘because that is the

he exiaimed, glaring at me, indig
nantly. “Why, you told me your

The New York World quotes
figures to show that the ordinary
expenses of the government have
increased $154,000,000 a year since
Mr. McKinley became President.
No war expenses are included in
the figures. The war is a sepa
rate matter, which has caused an
increase of the public debt of $200,-
000,000 since Mr. McKinley .was
inaugurated. The ordinary expen
ses under President Harrison av
eraged $$861,291,323 per annnm;

The largest wheat crop that Kan
sas ever raised was82,000,000 bush
els. State Grain Inspector Me
Kensie says that the crop of the
present year will be considerably
larger. He places the probable
figures at 85,000,000 bushels. Some
railroad men, however, are of the
opinion that the total will be near
ly 5,000,000 bushels greater than
Mr. McKenzie’s estimate:
each year for a loDg time past, the
cotton planters have found it the
most profitable crop for the last
decade. Tho3, for the ten mouths
ending April 30.1900, our total ex
ports of cotton were 2,898.755,000
pounds, compared with 3,478,027,
000 pounds in the same time in
1899. But such were the prices
obtained that the value of the ex
ports of cotton for the ten months
of this year, is $223,190,000, as
against $191,547,000 for the same
time in 1899- It is probable that
at the close of the year we shall
have exported $40,000,000 worth of
raw cotton more than we did in
1899. Up to Septe'mber 1 last it
was a matter of common observa
tion that the south had not shared
in the great industrial prosperity
of the country. Certaip sections
where the iron business and other
manufacturing enterprises flour
ished had felt it, but the south as
a whole had not. The figures
above given tell a different story.
