SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS.
Nearly a Million Mew Spindles
Added Recently and a Good
Business Being Done.
Baltimore, April 25.—The pres
idents of four leading southern cot
ton mills are in Baltimore on their
way to New York on a business and
pleasure trip. They are: Col. Jas.
L. Orr, president of the Piedmont
Manufacturing company, Green,
S. C.; Capt. E. A. Smyth, presi
dent of the Pelzer Manufacturing
company, Pelzer, S. C.; Capt. J. H.
Montgomery, president of the Pac
olet Manufacturing company and
the Spartan mills, Spartansburg,
S. C.; Maj. J. A. Brock, president
of the Anderson Cotton mills, An
derson, S. C.
These mills are located within a
short distance of each other, and
are in the greatest cotton manu
facturing center of the south. The
Piedmont mill at Greenville is one
of the oldest mills in the country,
and is the pioneer of the bustling
manufacturing section which now
surrounds that city. It has 60,000
spindles, and 75 per cent, of its
product goes to China. The Pelzer
mill is the largest in the south,
having 107,000 spindles. Os the
other mills, the Pacolet has 52,006,
Spartan 72 000, and the Anderson
■12,000. All of them supply foreign
interests. Col. Orr, of the Pied
mont mill, in discussing the cotton
manufacturing business, said:
“While southern mills have late
ly not made as much money as
they did in years past, they never
theless are making a good showing
Compared with New England mills,
the profits are larger. During the
last eighteen months there has
been about 800,000 new spindles in
stalled in the south. The develop
ment of new mills, while not as
active as it was a year ago, is still
going steadily forward. In the
south the proportionate increase in
the number of spindles has been
probably ten times as great as in
New England, but there is still
room for development. Looking
at the growth of the cotton manu
facturing business in the south 1
people forget that in Fall River,
Mass., alone, there are more spin
dles than in all the southern states.
There is a pronounced tendency
toward finer goods in the south.
New mills are built with this in
view, and where additions are built
to the older mills, provision is made
for the production of a better class
of goods. The steady growth of
the cotton manufacturing business
in the south is due to a better rec
ognition of the advantage of our
section. Water power is being ex
tensively used, and, as we do not
have to contend with the ice which
compels many northern mills to
have steam plants as well, this is
an important advantage.
“It is the Best on Earth.”
That is -what Edwards & Parker,
merchants of Plains, Ga., say of
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, for
rheumatism, lame back, deep seat
ed and muscular pains. Sold by H.
H. Arrington.
The Acworth Post claims that
Charley Floyd, a negro man of that
town, placed the “shed skin” of a
snake in his hat to keep his head
cool —that after wearing it there
for some time, that pains attacked
him in the head, that he grew
worse —doctors could do nothing
for him —a real snake formed and
grew under the negro’s skin the
“outlines of the real snake could be
felt and seen crawling downward
in the body of the negro; from
cheek to thigh it went; it appear
ed to bo 12 or 14 inches long and
as big as a man’s wrist.” The leg
burst and the negro died a horrible
death. Now, what do you think of
that for a “snake story?” Acworth
is said to be a “dry town,” too. —

Mexico and the Jap.
. Charleston News and Courier.
The peaceful invasion of Mex’co
by the Japanese colonists is the
marvel of recent efforts at success
ful foreign colonization. The Mex
icans believe they have a good thing
and have given the Japs land at 10
cents an acre with freedom from
all kinds of taxation for the first
ten years of occupation . Mexico
expects to have a population of
40,000 Japanese within two years.
But Mexico may have to deal with
the jealousy of the peon, when he
sees the Jap comfortably quarter
ed and surrounded by a prospering
farm. Populism in Mexico would
be a unique .political feature in
deed.

A funny story comes from North
Georgia about a tall gentlemen of
60 years, who carries the dignity
of an ex-railroad president. A few
months ago, he stepped out of
doors one morning when the
ground was covered with sleet. As
he put his foot on the side walk
and straightened himself up, he re
marked :
“Ahem, some old fool will get
his arm broken today.”
He had taken three steps when
his feet flew up and the rest of
him went down. He rose with a
broken arm. Then the words he
had spoken returned to mock him.

Best Remedy for Rheumatism,
From the Fairhaven (N. Y.) Reg
ister.
Mr. James Rowland of this vil
lage, states that for twenty-five
years his wife has been a sufferer
from rheumatism. A few nights
ago she was in such pain that she
was nearly crazy. She sent Mr.
Rowland for the doctor, but he had
read of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm
and instead of going for the physi
cian ho went to the store and se
cured a bottle of it. His wife did
not approve of Mr. Rowland’s pur
chase at first, but nevertheless ap
plied the Balm thoroughly and in
an hour’s time was able to go to

er she feels an ache or a pain and
finds that it always gives relief.
He says that no medicine which she
had used ever did her as much
good. The 25 and 50 cent sizes

Will the merchant who is wise
ever cease to advertise? Yes—
when the trees grows upside down ;
when the beggar wears a crown;
when ice forms on the sun ; when
the sparrow weighs a ton; when
gold dollars’get too cheap; when
women secrets keep; when fish for
get to swim; when Satan sings a
hymn ; when girls go back on gum ;
when a small boy hates a drum;
when no politician schemes; when
mince pies make pleasant dreams;
when it’s fun to break a tooth;
when cold water makes you drunk;
when you like to smell a skunk;
when a drummer has no brass—
when these things come to pass,
the man that’s wise will neglect to
advertise.
