SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS
There was once a theory up New
England way, fifty or so years ago,
that providence had so arranged
the Industrial scheme In this coun
try that the Southern States would
continuously grow the raw materials
and that New England would turn the
raw materials into manufactured prod
ucts and resell them to the South at
a large profit, says the Baltimore
American. It was a reciprocal scheme
which has worked to the satisfaction
of New England through more than
three quarters of a century. The sys
tem of shipping cotton northward to
be turned into yarns and textiles is
working yet, but with striking modifi
cations.
The annual reports showing the out
put of American cotton mills have in
dicated from year to year during the
past decade that the South has been
rapidly gaining upon the non-growing
States in the manufacture of cotton,
and last year and this the reports
show that more raw material has beet
turned into fabrics In the South than
in the North. According to the sta
tistical information gathered by the
secretary of the New Orleans Cotton
Exchange for the commercial year
which ended August 31. 1909. South
ern mills consumed 2,560,600 bales
of cotton, as compared with 2,500,000
bales consumed by the Northern mills
But during the same period foreign
mills used 8,056,000 bales of cotton
or about 3,000,000 bales more than all
the mills in this country. It is there
fore apparent that there Is still abun
dant opportunity for the expansion of
the cotton manufacturing industry In
the United States.
The rebel yell resounded through- !
out Athens Tuesday, when more than i
1500 Georgia veterans of the Con .
ft-deracy gathered for their annual
state reunion.
An amaclable compromise has been
reached whereby tile authorities of
the Berry School will grant rights
of way through their property to tho i
Rome and Northern railroad, now
building north from Romo to Gore. .
The compromise was reached while
the board of assessors, summoned to
fix the damages to the school prop
erty, was In session. Under the
terms of the agreement, the railroad
win run through the rear portion of
the farm belonging to the school and
will not pass through that section of
the grounds where Miss Berry con
templates the erection of a settlement
school and the carrying on a work
for the girls similar to the
industrial training now given boys
in the famous institution.
Congressman Lee Visits Dade County
Hon. Gordon Lee has been spend
ing several days in Dade county,
where his friends are numerous and
always delighted to see him. He
is one of the few public men who fill
an office because his citizenship de
mands it. and his record is one which
makes the people proud of their rep
resentative. His personality is such
that he may be approached by any
man, any time, any where and in
Washington or elsewhere his treat
ment of his most humble constitu
ent would be of that easy courtesy
and cordially which marks a man of
worth and character.
Mr. Lee declined to discuss politics,
however, he is being importuned by
his many friends in Dade to again
enter the congressional race, and in
case he decides to do so. he will find
no doubt, that his friends in Dade
have not diminished in numbers. —

Hon. W. H. Felton.
News of the death of W. H. Fel
ton whs received with sadness by
many friends in Chattooga county
who gave him their sympathy and
support in 1874, during his memora
ble race for congress in the Seventh
• district, as an Independent candidate.
It has been said of Dr. Felton,
“As minister, physician, congressman
orator, he filled many roles, but
he filled them all with brilliant dis
tinction,”
It was due largely to the Hercu
lean energies of this statesman from
the mountains, that the Western &
Atlantic railroad was saved to the
state of Georgia, and leased for an-
• other term of years at an increas
ed rental. The result was an ex
tra #120,000 per annum for the
: common schools.
The brilliant woman who for
more than fifty years had been his
loyal helpmeet and companion, who
had shared his warfares, who had
divided his laurels, was at his
side when the end came. And the
tenderest sympathies of the entire
state are hers in this hour of grief
i and loneliness.
Mrs. Rebecca Latimer Felton is
remembered here with gratitude and
affection for her helpful service ren
dered the cause of prohibition in our
county several years ago, while we
struggled against the power of the
legalized sale of liquor.
She is a noble woman and was a
fitting helpmeet for the “grand man
of eloquence” who has been called
■ up higher.
The war department has awarded
to a Granite Co., of Boston, a con-
I tract for the erection ol a monument
at Times Point. National cemetery,

shaft will be of Pennsylvania mar
ble, 83 feet high, and will cost $83,-

Commissioner T. G. Hudson of the
State Agricultural department, has
just issued his new fertilizer bulle
tin, for this season, and all farmers
, who had their guano inspected last
season, will soon get 6ne of these
bulletins, and they can see the true
■ analysis of the guano they bought.
J The amount of guano tags sold rep
resented 884,295 tons of fertilizer
and cotton seed meal, which repre-
■ sents an income to the department of
! SBB,OOO. The season just closing has
( been unusually heavy, as there were
2,264 brands of fertilizer inspected
I during this season, as against 1,822
. last season, and made the heaviest
I labratory work of any one year in
! the history of the department. Mr.
Hudson makes a splendid address in
'the bulletin, and congratulates the
! farmers of the state on improved
i conditions all along the line. He
makes a patriotic appeal to the larm
iers to place their farms on a busi
-1 ness like and self-sustaining basis.
! Some 20,000 bulletins have been is
sued to be distributed among the
farmers of the state.
Atlanta, Ga.—The question of re
ciprocal demurrage—upheld by the
supremo court of Georgia in an opin
ion handed down Saturday in which
the state raillroad commission was
! sustained—blds fair to furnish the
basis of one of the greatest legal bat
tles ever waged by the railroad in
terests against state authority. Al
ready preparations are being made
to take the matter into the federal
courts and not until the United
States supreme court passes upon
the question will the contest be con
sidered ended. If the decision of the
Georgia supreme court is upheld in
the federal tribunals, the railroads
will have to pay claims in this state
aggregating $20,000. But the decls
i ion is more far reaching and under
it the railroads will be compelled to
furnish cars to shippers upon demand
or suffer penalties in the way of de
murrages charges. It is customary
for the railroads to charge demurrage
of $1 per day per car after being
placed at the shipper’s disposal and
before it is loaded. For years the
shippers of this and border states
have fought for a reciprocal demur
rage. The order of the Georgia rail
road commission reqires the railroads
to pay the same rate of demurrage as
ter demand for cars is required of
the shippers.

In a newspaper interview sent out
1 from Atlanta it is predicted by Hon.
Harvey Jordon that more than SIOO,-
000,006 in cash will he distributed
among the people of Georgia during*
I the next six months through the mars
I keting of the cotton crop. Mr. Jor-
Idon is very optimistic, taking the
[view that the south is on the eve
i of the greatest prosperity it has ever
, known. “With spot cotton selling
1 at 12 1-2 cents at interior points and
(cotton seed at sl9 per ton, the fall
season is opening with a tidal wave
of prosperity that should make glad
the hearts of every farmer in Geor
gia, says Mr. Jordon. ‘“A bale of
cotton with the seed will now sell
for more than S7O, one-fourth more
than the price commanded a year
ago. The staple is being sold at
these prices, debts are being liquid
ated and the money put into circu
lation is rapidly finding its way into
the trade. While crops may be short
er than last year’s yield the differ
ence in price will far more than
make up for the deficiency in yield.
