COTTON MILLS IF THE SOU I’ll.
No branch of industry in the
south has grown more rapidly than
the manufacture of Cotton, and it
is not strange that it is so. The
south commands superior advan¬
tages for the manufacture of cotton
goods. Labor is cheaper than in
other sections, the cotton is within
easy reach of.tlie mills, thus saving
the expenses of transporting it long
distances, and the mills may be rnn
theyear round.
It was stated at a public meeting
in Boston the other, day the manu¬
facture of cotton was increasing
more rapidly in the south than in
New England, and that the pros¬
pects of a still greater increase were
excellent. Ten years ago there
-were about 150 cotton mills in the
southern states. Now there arc
235 in operation, seventeen are
nearly completed, and work on
forty more has been, begun. 1 be
south is not going to rest on her
achievements, She is going to
push ahead in industrial matters
until she occupies a position sec¬
ond to that ot no other section.
There is no reason why the south
should not manufacture the great
er part of her cotton crop, All she
needs is the necessary capital. Mill
operatives can live cheaper in the
southern states than any other
section of the country, because the
climate favors cheap living. The
soil is productive and all kinds ot
food products can be .grown i n a
bundance. The rapid increase in
the number of routhern cotton
mills seems to indicate that the day is
not distant when the cotton crop of (he
south will be largely exported in the
shape of manufactured goods instead of
the raw material. 4 lie capital is co*tnig
to accomplish this result and labor wili
f dlow capital. —Savannah News.

ONLY A WOMAN.
Only a woman, shriveled and
old!
The prey of winds and prey of
the cold !
Cheeks that are shrunken,
Lips that were never o’er bold.
Only a woman, forsaken and
poor,
Asking for alms at the bronze
church door.
Hark to the organ ! roll upon
roll
The waves of its music go over
her soul!
Silk rustles past her
Faster and faster—
The great bell ceases its toll.
Fain would sue enter, but not for
the poor
Swingeih wide open the bronze
church door.
Only a woman, waiting alone,
Icy cold on an icy cold stone,
What do they cam ior her?
Mumbling a. prayer for her—
Giving not bread but a stone.
Under rich laces their haughty
hearts beat,
Mocking the woes of their kin in
the street.
Only a woman, In the old
days
Hope caroled to her the happiest
lays;
Somebody missed her;
Somebody kissed her;
Somebody crowned her with
praise;
Somebody faced out the battle ol
life;
Somebody for her sake who was
mother or wife.
Somebody lies like a tress of her
hair
Light on liis hca l where the
death shadows are.
Some!) )dy waits for her,
Opening the gates,for her;
Giving delight for despair;
Only a woman—nevei inoie!
She is dead in the'snow at the
bronze church door!

The honors which have been
heaped upon Carl Sehurz in Ger¬
many, where he once was denounc¬
ed as a ievolutionist, may well
gratify the Germans of America,
who have so steadfastly supported
him in his many military, political,
literary ambitions. Few men have
been so versatile, Mr. Sehurz
made a fair soldier, an efficient sen¬
ator, and a pure Secretary of the
Interior. Of this last office it may
he well to notice that it has scanda¬
lized many other incumbents. The
Herald has praise for Carl Sehurz
because he was brave and generous
enough, during the recent campaign
to speak for freedom of trade He
thus proved that he could not af¬
ford, even by silence, to aid the
cause of ignorance and misunstand
ing. He did not dodge, although
far removed from the scene of con¬
tention. The thing to be praised
in Cleveland is equally praisewor¬
thy in Sehurz.
There is a good deal of quiet
swearing at Brother Blaine in t e
republican party, especially in the

some comes from the direction o f

great republican giascutus. Chain¬
ed, he is dangerous; unchained, he
is ju^t aow euasing greatenffariass

suddenly become leaders since Gen¬
eral Harrison’s election.

John Knox, the Scotch reformer,
had many enemies, who sought his
destrution. He was in the habit of
sitting in a particular chair in ids
own house, with his back (o the
whidow. One evening, however,
when assembling bis family, he
would neither occupy his accustom¬
ed seat nor allow anybody else to
do so. That very evening a bullet
was sent through the window with
a design to kill him. It grazed the
chair lie usually occupied, and
made a hole in the candlestick. It
is related of Augustine that he was
going on one occasion to preach at
a distant town and took a guide to
direct him on his way. By some
means the gui le mistook his way,
and got into a by oath. It was af¬
terward discovered that a party of
miscreants had designed to waylay
and murder him. and that his life
was saved through the guide’s mis¬
take. toward, the philanthropist,
was once preserved from death by
what some would call mere chance,
but which was no other than a
special providence. Ho always set
a high value on Sabbath privileges
and was exact and careful in his
attendance. That tie might neither
increase the labor of bis servants,
nor prevent their attendance on
public worship, he was accustomed
to walk to the chapel at Bedford,
where he attended. One day a man
whom he reproved for idle and dis¬
solute habits, resolved to waylay
and murder him. That morning.'
however, for some reason or other,
he resolved to go on horseback and
by a,di(fcrent road. Thus his ’life
was preserved.—Christian Advo¬
cate.
The concealed weapon evil is
gradually disappearing. Among
(he better class of people the man
who carries a deadly concealed wea
pon is an exception. Most men of
standing and respectability are now
ashamed.of carrying, habitually, a
pistol or a dirk. The practice
seems to indicate a desire to spill
somebody’s blood, or a constant
fear of danger. Vigorous prosecu¬
tion of those who violate the law
against carrying deadly weapons
and a healthy public sentiment will
soon put an end to the deadly wea¬
pon evil.
Rev. T. Pickett will most likely
contest the election of Col. Candler
to Congress on the grounds of fraud

been employed or spoken to to pros¬
ecute the contest. Col, Candler
will probably be legally served with
notice of contest tho latter part of
this week or the first of next, at
any rate before Dec. 6.
A saddle colored negro, claiming
to he a lawyer from New York, ar¬
rived at Powder Springs a few days
ago, and on the strength of Harri¬
son’s election told the neirroes that
he was sent out to buy up all the
lands he could and sell them to ne¬
groes on twenty years’ time at 6
pereent.^»His charge for inspecting
a farm was from $10 to $12, which
every one that wanted to buy had
to pay in advance, and he was to
meet them in Marietta Saturday and
make them deeds to the firms. He
picked up a few hundred dollars and
skipped by the light of the Moon.

Two Good Planks,
The Alliance folks teach among
others two pi in eipbs that this pa¬
per cordially endorses.
It is doing all in its power to in¬
duce its members to abandon the
credit system. Then again, it is
well know that it insists that its
lumbers. if so unfortunate as to get
in debt, shall pay such obligations
promptly.
If the Alliance taught nothing
else it could be excused and ap¬
plauded for its existence. The next
best thing to keep out of debt is to
discharge those debts promptly.

sacramental use, to piovide for the
regulation ot the same and for oth
purposes.’’ If Newton goes “dry’’

realizes that the piosperity of the state
