The Advantages of Southern Mills-
More Light for “Spinner.”
CKarleetm Courier.
Mr. W. H. Young, president of the
Eagle and Phenix Manufacturing
Onapany, of Columbus. Ga., whose
recently published etntement that a
southern mill consuming fifty bales
of cotton a day, would have an ad
vantage of ¥350 daily over a northern
mill of like capacity wis impugned
by “Spinner,” has wriveo the follow
ing letter to the N<-ws and Courier,
reiterating his stateor at and giving
some additional intolrua'ioo on tin
advantages of the scut turn citron
manulactuier ovet manufacturers in
the north:
Your letter of th' 3! instant re
ceived with slip encl ed, signed
“Spinner,” on the subj ct of tariff,
etc. He takes in q iestion my nsser
tion made in a letter to our t >pre
seotative in congress, Judge Buch
anan (written by requ s ) that the
Eigie and Pnenix Mills have a daily
C' rtain advintage of $350 over a New
E gland miii u-.itig the same amount
of cotton on the same heavy-wight
goods as this comp its y produces.
He says our case may be < xceptlonal,
but he evidently doubts it, and adds
that such statements are hurt
ful at beat. Truth I cannot
understand to be hurtful in any case,
and I reiterate my statement to be
true, as far as tms company is con
cerned. baaed on tne prices at which
New England spinners buy in this
market; and they do buy (liiect f om
the south ab ut half of their con
sumption, tand buy very largely in
this market. ‘Splatter” ;ays in his
letter to the News and Courier:
I confers to a very limited knowl
edge of the laws of political,econ >a v
and of their application in any given
case to the multiplicity of conditions
envolved; but as o'her southern
spinners have, much to my surprise,
boldly asserted their opinions in
favor of free trade, I trust I am justi
fied nj entering a warning word
agai' scthis ptopos»-d sailing in un
known seas, under charge of such
indifferent pilots; and to illustrate
and prove the re-is tnableness ot my
position I call your attention to a
statement published in your issu ■ ot
Mateu 22d, where you quote Dr.
Young, ot the Eagle and Ph-nlx
Mills,Columbus, tla, as making th'-
assertion that on the item of cotton
alone their dally advantage on the
consumption of forty bales of emton
is $350 iver New England mills using
the same quantity. N, w such state
ments art nurtfui if not correct. They
can neither help the bad cause tor
which they are uttered, or really and
trulv redound to the advantage of
the sou ti. His may he somewhat
an exct-p tonal case, but certainly
does not apply to southern cotton
mills generally, and no one should
know it. D tter than himself.
I aid sirou-’of making mantifac
tui ing in the soutn a a id I

ments Btiould not go U'b halienged;

follow and depend on 'hem. I hap

of mills consuming forty bates of cot
ton iaily, and if you or your readers
hav. any interest in tbe toliowing

Th' only i xplauattou necessary is the
rem.it k that it is based on very cioe
apprt ximate working facts, and will

Different localities or varying con

This mainly upsets Dr. Young’s
only tangible argument; his others
are mere matters oi opinion—con
clusions from considerations of, at
best, indifferent or unknown circum
stances, operating to produce un
known results.
“Spinner” makes his advantage oq
40 bales SB3; but he charges the
soutbrro mills with freight on goods
and waste, SIOO. I ask. what has this
to do with the question ? Certainly
nothing, so tar as ibis company is
concerned, as we do not consign our
goods to New York, nor to any place
We sell all our products from our of
fice, and when they leave it they are
consigned to the purchaser whose
goods they are, and are shipped to
his place of business, wherever that
may be. If “Spinner” sold his wares
as we do, he could add SIOO to his
stated advantage of SB3. Our waste
we sell in Augusta, Ga., where w« do
quite as well as to ship It to New
York—in tact, better. As regards the
arbitrary prices he fixes on cotton in
New York and here, they would give
nim a further help if his standpoint
is the same as it is here. I have pre
pared a statement showing., the
detailed expenses on a bale of cotton
shipped from here to a New England
mill and on a bale purchased from
this mill. The following is the cost
of a bale of cotton bought, in Colum

A bale of 475 pounds yields in goods
404 pounds, (lees 71 pounds,) and a
nor'aeru mill pays freight on this 71
pounds, an expense of say 64 cents,
which is not incurred by any southern
mill.
Another Item Is that of ginning.
This company has a public gin. We
buy cotton in toe seed or gm for toll
(tut do not pack in bales,) We buy
planters’ remnants and lightweight
bales, and as this is done (saving
weight of bag and ties) the gain on
all our consumption equals 1 8 cent
p r pound, or 60 cents per bale.
These two items, therefore —that of
freight saved on the 71 pounds lost
(64 cm.ts) and the saving in ginning
(50 cents)—reduce the cost to the
s uth rn null $1.24, making the total
only $46.81

it in ur pi< ker-rootn to m >rrow, and
thus gain (.a time) say fifteen days
interest. There are other local ad
vantages that I have not cited. It is
proper to add, fiewev. r, that (in the
past ndavs) the r wars nave
re :uced rates 15 100 cents per pound.
It is not considered permanent, but
if it should be it would redw e our ad
vantages bv 15 IO c-nta per pound

ing our deiiv advantage $337 50. •If
’’Spinner” tn a eout fit.n mil, cannot
utilize tne advantages of kis southern
mill, it is clearly his fault, or nls mill
Is badly located.
Ou the subject ot Tariff I see no
reason to alter my views. I know
there is (and it is to beexpected)a dif
ference of opinion on the subject. I
hnve received many complimentary
letters fiom tne senate and bouse of
representatives and others agreeing
with my views. I respect honest dit
rert ces of opinion ;at tne same time
I claim to hold my own views of
what is better for the sou’h,
,nl the whole country. I have
spent a large part of my life in
unremitting labor for the success of
manufactuiing at the south, and
it I possess any knowledge from long
i xperier.ee that would be useful in
the furtherance of this subject, I am
willing to communicate it, but not
through newepap j r controversies, as
I am opposed to them, and have not
the '(me to devote to such purposes.
Respecfuliy yours.
W. H. Ycung.
Tins statement is so clear, so con
vim lug, and goes so thoroughly into
details, that there can no longer be
any question of rhe extent of the ad
vantages possessed by southern cot
ton manufacturers over northern
manufacturers. By figures that no
one is likely to dispute successfully,
Mr. Young shows that the saving of
a southern mill, by reason of its
proximity to the cotton fields, is $373
a dry on fifty bales, or $111,900 for a
year of 300 working days. This is
equal to 7 per cent, a year on a capi
tal of $1,598,561. The advantage is so
great that it is not surprising to see
so many new milisgolng up in every
part of the south. Capitalists are
quick to learn the advantages of one
locality over another, and a steady
stream of gold would flow into the,
south if the tariff wall were lowered
or taken down altogether, so that we
could have the world as a market.

The Fifteenth Amendment.
Rome Courier: Jonathan Norcross,
one of the leaders of the Republican
party in Georgia, and lately the can
didate of that party for governor, de
clared in hie "white men’s conven
tion” on Tuerday, that f.he negroes
and the white republicans “must
work together to a common end, but
separately.” Is there any difference
io principle between this and the
railroad regulations which provide
for carrying both whites and blacks
to the same destination, but in
separate cars? The difference is that
the latter is merely a social line of
separation, but the plan of the white
republicans’ convention make a po
litical distinction, and is therefore re
pugnant to the 15th constitutional
amendment,

COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 15, 1884.
Blaine’s Electioneering Dodges.
Coming now to the presidential is
sues on the republican side, says a
Washington letter to the Cincinnati
Enquirer, Mr. Blaine is writing his
book to the extent of four minutes a
day, and gives the real ot his time
to bls campaign. He has a house on
the president’s square and a power
ful telescope trained on the white
house, and is making an effort to
study bow many drinks a day Ar
thur takes In order to be able to
carry on nis government. Every
nightortwo Arthur give? a dinner
to about 50 members ot congress and
their wives. Blaine has his scorns
out and thev capture all the republi
cans and effective men, it is said, at
dinner, and briugthem over to lunch
afterwards. Blaine has got a brand
new set of monied supporters. The
only one of the old set who sticks to
him is Steve Elkins, who is down in
Washington, 6J feet high and nearly
4 feet broad, looking three or four
ways all at once, but every way tor
BUine. If anybody should inquire
for Blaine during these times, ue is
told that he is just finishing the
ninety-fourth chapter, and in proof
of it a beau,iful extract is brought
out and slipp» d to the newspapers,
where be pays a high compliment to
all the deceased statesmen, of both
parties, such as Jerry Black and
George Washington.
A Rumseller** JSxperien
A man named Stacy, the owner of
a splendid drinking saloon in New
York, signed the pledge recently and
closed his house. Heating that a par
ty of lads Ind termed themselves
into a temperance society, he gave
his experience as a rumseller.
"I have sold liquor,” be said “for
eleven years—long enough for me to
seethe beginning and end of its ef
fects. I have, seen a man take his
first glass of liquor in my place and
afterwards fill the grave ot a suicide.
I have seen man after man, wealthy
and educated, come into my sa
loon, wno cannot now buy
their dinner. I can recall
twenty customers worth from
$lOO,llO tu $500,000 who are now with
out money, place or friends ” He
warned boys against entering saloons
on any pretext. He stated that he
had seen many a young fellow, a
member of some temperance eocv ty,
come in with a friend and w-.it while
he drank. “No, no,” he would say.
“I never touch it. Thanks ill the
same.” Presen'ly, rather than seem
churlish, he would take a glass
or cider or harmless letnonad-.
“The lemonade was nothing,” said
the rumseller. “but I knew how it
would end. The only safety, boy ,
for any man, no matter how strut r
his resolution, Is outside the door<f
a saloon.”
Why he Wouldn’t do,
Arkanxaw Travel cr.
A highly recommended young man
applied for a position in a dry goods
establishment.
“I like your looks.” said the pro
prietor. “and do not doubt that the
recommendations given you by such
emin-nt gentlemen are richly de
serv-d, yet I cannot employ you.
the main duty o? tne position widen
la now vacant is collecting bills
You nover would do for a bill col
lector.”
“Why not. sir?”
“Because you walk with a limp.”
“Very true, but I can get around
actively.”
“Oh, yes; but you see a lame man
never makes a succ-ssful bill lollecl
or. Now, for instance you were to
call on a man; he would notice your
limp, and would imm 'diately size up
your footsteps. Your thimp, thimp,
thamp, thamp, would soon become
familiar to his ear and he could get
out ot the way. A bill collector
should be able to disguise his walk.
A lame man cannot do this. Excuse
me for a moment,” and the mer
chant disappeared. A moment after
ward a lams man entered and asked
for the tradesman, but learning that
be was out went away. When the
merchant reappeared he said:
"That young fellow was a collector
but you see I have got onto his walk.
lam glad that an example has been
presented eo opportunely. Good
day. If you should ever get over
your lameness, come around.”
Montezuma Record: “It seems
that ‘trouble ni-vercomes singly’ with
some of the people of D ioley county,
and those who suffered so severely by
the ravages of the recent cyclone
were visited last week by the Are
element. The debris of the cyclone
on the plantations of Messrs. Bell
flower and Sheffield, near Snow, was
being gathered and burned when the
wind storm of last week set in, and
the Are got beyond control and
spread so rapidly that houses, fences
and everything in its reach was con
sumed. Mr. Bellflower lost all of his
houses and saved nothing from them
but two or three beds and some bed
clothing. The houses and fences of
Mr. Sheffield and others livingtin the
settlement suffered the same fate.
Those who witnessed it say they
never saw anything to equal it before,
and that it looked like a prairie on
fire. It followed the track of the
cyclone, and cleaned up everything
of a light, inflammable substance.”
For some time it has been suspect
ed that the prohibition law of Ran
dolph county, as well as the internal
revenue law touching the sale of liq
uor, was being violated. One of the
guilty parties came to grief last Sat
urday. Mr. Oobb Adame, against
whom several true bills were found
by the last grand jury for selling liq
uor illegally, was taken to Macon
Saturday night under arrest, by Mr.
Wells, deputy United States marshal.
Several parties went with him as wit
nesses. When the federal court has
disposed of his case, he will be
brought before the superior court of
Randolph county, under the same
charge and also for carrying conceal
ed weapons.

POLITICAL NICKNAMES.
How Senator Ewing Cam i to be Call
ed “Solitude.”
Cincinnati Enquirer.
The nicknaming of prominent
men, particularly of those mixing in
politics, is practiced in this country
more, perhaps, than in any other,
and as a rme, the recipient takes to
it kindly. Thus General Jackson
was as well knownfcs “Oid Hickory”
and more readily recognized than if
called President Jackson. Senator
Benton in his lifetime was almost as
well known as “Old Bullion,” so
called from his advocacy of a gold
and silver currency and his inveter
ate opposition to banks and paper
money. The late Thomas Ewing, of
Ohio, while a senator tn congress had
his nickname of “Solitude,” and it
bo stuck to him that even now, long
after his death, the prefix is still giv
en him, to distinguish him from bis
son and name-sake, Gen. Tom
Ewing. Senator Ewing made a
speech in the United States senate
which fastened the “Solitude” upon
him. It was during the national
bank agitation, when the support
ers of that institution were active in
picturing the ruin that would come
upon the country if the bank’s char
ier was not renewed. Senator
Ewing in debate spoke of the me
chanic being out of work, and that
the busy hum of industry is heard
not in this, the busy season of tne
vear, and wound up with the asser
tion that “our canals are a solitude,
our lakes but desert wastes of water.”
A number of congressmen—several
of them senators, and more than halt
of them di moorats—made up a par
ty to return to their homes by the
wayofN-'W York canal. The west
was then sending its produce to the
east via lake and canal, and the con
gressional party found that the canal
trade, if judged by the number ot
boats met, was immense, and it was
a st mdmg joke with tne democratic
members when a fleet of boatshove
in eight to call Mr. Ewing from the
cabin of the pack-boat to look at hie
“solitude.” At the lower end of the
canal there had been a break, and a
large number of boats were usually
insighi. Os course there was fun to
see them and to point them out to
the Ohio member, but the fun was
not on his side nor to bis liking. A’
Rochester, just as the packet-boat
landed, a freight boat was discharg
ing Cargo, and Mr. Ewing and She
other congressmen were lookers-on.
By some accident a hogshead filled
with molasses bad its head burst in,
and the contents poured into the
canal. An Irish laborer standing
near to Mr. Ewing, without knowing
who he was,exclaimed: “Jabers.mon.
that must be solitude swatened.”
The other congressmen roared with
laughter, and Mr. Ewing was forced
to j m them. The democratic mem
bers told the j oke and it got into the
newspapers, and it aided in perpet
uating the sobriquet ot “Solitude”
on Senator Thomas Ewing. I tell
the tale as it was told and printed at
the time.
GOV. STEPHENS’ MONUMENT.
THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA SH »W HIW
SOON A G lOD MAN IS FORGOTTEN BY
THEIR LAXNEsS IN HONORING HIS
MEMORY.
Augusta, Ga., April 9.—When the
late Gov. Stepnene died a movement
was put on foot to purchase Liberty
Hail, in which the dead statesman
bad spent bis life, and erect upon
the ground a monument to hie
memory. After most strenuous el
rorts rue amount collected thus far
is only $371 95. So it is very likely the
project will nave to be abandoned.
What makes this apathy toward the
collection of money for such a monu
ment more remarkable is the fact
that hundreds of young men in
Georgia owe all they have to the late
governor’s generosity during his
life. For the last forty years Mr.
Stephens never had less than ten
oeneflciaries receiving education for
which he furnished the whole means.
These mon have gone out into the
world, entered the trade of law,
many of them amassed fortunes,
while all of Them are well to do.
Notwithstanding all this, when a
modest sum is asked to commemor
ate the name of their benefactor most
niggardly replies are received. This
shows how much gratitude this peo
ple have. The body of the late gov
ernor, which yet reposes in Atlinta,
will be removed to Crawfordsville in
a few weeks, where it will be placed
beside that of hie mother, whom he
never saw. Mr. Stephens used to
tell when a boy it was nis wont to go
to the grave of his mother, and, lying
upon bis back there, he would look
up into the passing clouds and en
deavor to catch a glimpse of his
mother’s face there. Now he is to
repose by her forever.

big as a half dollar. At one time a report
went around that I was dead. I gave up
hope, but a friend told me of DK. WIL

THE CUBAN REVOLT.
HUNDREDS JOINING THE STANDARD OF
AGUERO.
Madrid, April 12.—Official advices
have been received from Cuba by the
war department to rhe following ef
fect : The Augira band remained on
ly one day near Cardenas, and ait is
now quiet at that place. After land
ing near Hicuco, the insurgents were
followed to the east in the direction
of Norena, where they were joined by
several persons. Thence they went
towards Wacoga to the south, in or
der to reach Puerto Principe and the
old revolutionary district ot Bazamo.
Augero did not dare to attempt a di
rect landing there, because he knew
that the southeast coast of Cuba was
watched with especial vigilance,
THE BAND INCREASING,
Hiefband was greatly increased
during the march of eight days, and
is now not far from 1,400 strong. Ac
cording to the latest advices, the
force irrived on the 10th Inst., in the
neighborhood of Cfego de Anila.
They psssed on the preceding day
throughout the district ot Santo Es
piritu, The insurgents were received
by acclamation in the villa
ges where the potracinados
(freed slaves) themselves joined the
column, after having set fire to the
four plantations and sacked the safes
of the receivers of teas The gover
nor of Trinidad, whow s making his
round from the direction of Santo
Eapireta, accompanied by an ordin
ary escort of 20 casudores. fell into
the hands of the insurgents, who
overpowered his guard and took from
him several thousand dollars, which
he was conveying to Trinidan. Aguero
and his army will reach, early in the
week, the mountains of the last Tunas
and of Boyamo, the old seat ot the
late insurrection. Captain General
Castillo holds two councils ot war a
day. A later dispatch states that the
Cuban affair has been exaggerated.
Aguero is a common bandit, who is
known to have committed many
crimes. His expedition nas no politi
cal character. Agu?ro, with his band,
is inclosed in a corner of the island
and will soon be captured. Cuba is
perfectly tranquil.”
WHY BADEAU RESIGNED.
Havana, April 12.—Gen. Adam Ba
deau, late United States consul gene
ral here, declines to state his reasons
for tendering his resignation, and
says he may see fit later to give hie
explanations through the press. The
impression prevails that bis resigna
tion is in some way connected with
the Aguero expedition.
A great many people feel themselves
gradually falling. They don’t know just
what Is the matter, but they suffer from a
combination ot Indescribable aches and
pains, which each month seem to grow
worse. The only sure remedy known
that will counteract this feeling and re
store perfect health is Brown’s Iron Bit
ters. By rapid assimilation it purities the
b ond, drives out aisease, gives health and
strength to every p inion reached by the
circulatory system, renews wasted tissues
and restores robust health and strength.

proportions, and with flowing robes
and a small baby, boarded a Third
avenue elevated train at the Grand
street station last evening. She se
lected a place with two vacant seats
on i aeh side, and, in sitting, covered
with her dress the low wooden parti
tions separating the seats. Then she
tried to make the baby lie down by
ber side, with its head in her lap.
Not succeeding on one side, she tried
the other, but each time the small of
tne baby’s back met the hidden par
tition, and i* couldn’t be made to fit.
The baby resisted the .endeavor and
raised a noisy lamentation. The
mother, after many efforts, conclud
ed that its perverseness was not to be
subdued, and snatched it into her lap
with the remark:
“Veil, ven you can’t keep dot back
bone straight, I tink it’s petter you
sit up.”
Then she looked around to see why
all the passengers were laughing.

Chattanooga Timet.
a Times reporter a few days since
had an interesting interview with a
leading dealer concerning the demor
alized condition of the pea market.
He states that the crop was unusual
ly large last] season. The country
merchants bought very heavily and
invested all available money, expect
ing there would be a great demand.
Th< price paid was from $1.25 to
$1.75 per bushel. When they made
arrangements to market their peas,
the price had dropped almost fitty
per cent., with no demand. New
Orleans is the principal market, but
is overstocked with the crop of
1882, and not more than $1 could be
obtained for choice peas. The result
of the speculation in peas in this
section it is feared will be very disas
trous. Several failures have already
occurred, and more will doubtless
follow.
The Stephens Memorial.
Augusta Chronicle,
Our enterprising friend, Mr. Joseph
Myers, has worked up considerable
interest in the Stephens memorial
and has done some good canvassing,
having raised something like four
hundred dollars amonv a few friends.
It is understood that Liberty Hall is
about to be sold, aud the friends of
the Great Commoner are exceeding
ly anxious that a good amount
should be raised forthwith to justify
their bidding on the property. The
feeling in the city is strong and grow
ing—that the association must not
be allowed to fall through, and it is
understood that Major George T.
Barnes has formulated some valuable
plans, which he will carry through it
assured of sufficient, aid and support
from our people. By all means let
the good workgo on.

Political Weather Predictions.
Recently a Washington correspon
dent of the New York H raid con
structed a table to show how closely
the “Solid North” and “Solid South”
match each other. Sixteen southern
states make up the solid south, and
sixteen northern states make up the
solid north, the six remaining north
, ern states making the real debatable
ground. The sixteen southern states
! counted as the solid south cast 153
electoral votes; the sixteen northern
states which form the solid north cast
153 electoral votes. The following
table ranges the members of the two
opposing sections in opposite

THE CURRENCY.
A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CON
STITUTION RELATING TO THE CURREN
CY.
Washington, April 9.—The sub
committee of the House Committee
on Judiciary has agreed upon a joint
resolution proposing a constitutional
amendment relating to the currency.
The proposed amendment is as fol
lows.
The legislative powers granted
congress by the constitution shall
not be construed to include the power
to pass any law making anything but
gold and silver coin tender ia the
payment of debts except after a dec
laration of war, or in case of a rebell
ion or invasion, when the public
safety may demand it.

The English prejudice against
masquerade balls is so deeply rooted
that it will never be removed. Pub
lic masquerdaes are not permitted in
England. After ths restoration no
attempt was made to revive the court
masques, and the few public affairs
held in the Georgia era were soon
frowned down by public opinion. Os
late years masquerades have been
disallowed by tbe magistrates, and
nobody regrets it. The English say
that intrigue and mystification are
tbe essentials of Italian and Spanish
masquerades, and such amusements
are, therefore, inc unpatibie with the
spirit of the English people. In fact,
tbe preachers and novelists seem to
agree in regarding a masquerade as
tne shortest possible cut to Tophet.
Mr. G. H. Calpln, Wadley, Ga., says:
“My wife used Brown’s Iron Ritters for
weakness and debility with good effect.
Mr. L. B. Battle, Wadley, Ga., says:
“Brown’s Iron Bitters cured me of poor
appetite, general debility and sleepless
ness.”

The Kidneys act ss purifiers of the blood, and
when their functions are interfered with
through weakness, they need toning. They be
come healthfully active by the use of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, when falling short of other
sources. This superb stimulating tonic also
prevents and arrests fever and ague, constipa
