rWjNDUSTRY AND BUSINESS.
■ Ku, outlook for tlic’Year um Judged
■ by th* I-*** Week.
|| |) un n’s Review for the week ending
■niiiary 13, brings cheering news.
! ■]),« business >m<l industrial situation
IO new York is reported as mostcheer-
I Kr Dunn’s New York report says:
■ Business has distinctly, improved
I Ince the new year came, and the
1 lain is no longer visible only in spec-
■laiive market!. It is the only kind
I |f improvement that has in it possi
bilities of lasting, because it is based
I Ipon actual Increase in the produc-
I’An of industries. Several large es
ments have started with part
I Wiree, hoping to increase, and more
1 Imaller works have started than have
i ■topped.”
I The reports from Southern cities
|re as follows :
if St. Louis —Many report a trade in
|s93 equal to that of 1892, and a few
! Kpm-t a larger trade. This is partic
i Hlarlv true of boot and shoe, hardware,
| | f y good and grocery lines. These re
■ort better trade thus far than at the
Ipening of last year. The milling sit-
■ Kition is also satisfactory. Manufac
luring is better than fair, and several
I ImalTplants have started up. Money
|s easy, merchants doing the same
[ business with about half the capital
' Kmployed before the panic.
I ,-T Kansas City—Business and collec-
L bions are satisfactory with grocers,
pjßmd the vear opens well in wholesale
[ A' goods. Money is easy, with light
t ■remand.
1 ffl Salt Lake —Business is steady with
■tronger demand for staples and better
■Collections. Improvement in trade
Kppears, and clearings slowly increase.
i A Louisville —Signs of improvement
■nd confidence are prevalent. Money
! Bs easy and manufacturers running,
' Koine full and others with limited force.
Nashville —Wholesale business hold's
Hits own, collections are good, and a
i ■better feeling exists.
f I Memphis—Trade seems gaining in
■volume, collections respond satisfac
! Htorily to the advance in cotton, and
I Hthe general outlook is-better.
i J? Little Rock —Continued mild
| ■weather and enforced economy make
i ■midwinter retail trade dull. Whole
j Bsale trade and collections are fair.
I ■Bank statements show favorably as to
f ■deposits, and demand from borrowers
||B increases.
Atlanta —Trade is generally improv
■jug, and jobbers of dry goods, shoes
| Mil groceries report satisfactory sales
j New Orleans —There is no change
KHin the money market, and the delay
[Bin paying the sugar bounty causes a
P B heavy drain on the banks. Sugar is
■ active and in good demand, receipts
I I being readily sold at firm prices,
f ■ Rice is in good demand for both clear
J. Band rough, with fair movement and a
I B steady market. Cotton shows im
f 1 provernent in movement, denffind, and
I I prices are fair, and country collections
Efl are good.
| Money is reported plentiful and
■ cheap. Says Dun’s: “Time money
I is also offered freely, and loan brokers,
i I acting on behalf of nearly all finan-
I cial institutions, are willing to accept
j I contracts for any length of time a
! I low rates and on any marketable col-
I I lateral with the usual amount of mar-
Rates are 2 per cent for thirty
■ sixty days, 2| @ 3 per cent, for
’ ■’Three and four months and 4 4.1
i | percent, for all longer dates. Loans
j 4 are reported to have been made until
11 a year from next May within the lat
j I ter range.”
There is a circulation of $40,000,000
in National Bank notes larger than a
j , year ago, and life reserve is about
I $90,000,000 greater than at same period
[ in 1893. There is a good advance in
’ the price of silver, despite the howl of
j the demagogue, and the money sup-
I ply seems sufficient to meet all de
ll mands.
CONDITIONS IN THE SOUTH.
I'he Tradesman, Chattanooga,
I Tenn., in its review of the industrial
| situation in the South for the week
I ending January 15th, reports that in
[ organization of new industries the
I Southern Stales have maintained the
| average during the Week, with an in-
in the number of enlargements
manufactories. Inquiries for new
continued to be unusually
I large. An advance in the price of
I rice encourages the growers, who have
I large stocks on hand, but the farmers
I who are holding their cotton for ad-
I vanced prices are not equally fortu-
I Date. The southern farmers, as a
I class, are in better pecuniary condi-
I lion at this season than ever before.
I Less money was borrowed on the secu-
I iity of growing crops, and more sup-
I plies were made at home. In conse-
I quence, thegreater part of the receipts
I for sales remain for future use instead,
I a s in former years, being paid on
I previous debts, and for corn and meat
I from the northwest. The iron and
I Coal producers are postponing any in-
I crease in their outputs until the tariff’
I question is settled. The Tradesman
ports thirty-two new industries as
or incorporated during the
together with twelve enlarge-

ments of manufactories.
RAPID GROWTH OF COTTON MANUFAC
TURING SOUTH.
A few weeks ago the Manufacturers’
Record, in reviewing the South’s pos
sibilities in cotton manufacturing,
pointed out that although the South
produces over 60 per cent, of the
world’s annual cotton crop, it has only
2,500.000 spindles out of a total of 85,-
000,000 in the world. The field for
expansion is practically without limit,
and the wealth which the develop
ment of this industry is destined to
create in the South can be estimated
in part only by the statement that it
would require an investment of nearly
$1,500,000,000 to manufacture in the
South all the cotton produced there.
This industry is rapidly extending,
and every week sees some new mill
company organized or the enlarge
ment of some existing plant.
Through the severe depression of the
past year southern mills ran steadily,
turning out their full product and
finding a market for it at a profit, as
shown by the dividends now being de
clared. At present there is consider
able activity in the enlargement of
mills now in operation. Reports to
the Manufacturers’ Record for the
past week show : A Newberry 8. C.,
mill will increase its capital from
$250,000 to $400,000 and put in 15,000
new spindles; a mill at Chester, in
the same state, will add 5,000 spindles,
thus doubling its capacity ; an Annis
ton, Ala., mill will spend $50,000 in
enlarging its plant; a large mill at
Huntsville, which has .proved very
profitable, has started on double turn
and will run night and day to keep up
with its orders; a Gaffney City, 8. C.,
mill has run twenty-two hours a day
for fourteen months and is now pre
paring'to increase its capacity. At
Augusta. Ga, leading cotton manu
facturers have formed a new company
with a minimum capital of $300,000
and maximum of $1,000,000 to build
.a 15,000 spindle mill in South Caro
lina. Many illustrations of this char
acter could be given to show how
rapidly the South is pushing its cot
ton-manufacturing business, even du
ring these times.
These reports in different lines all
go to show that the country is rapidly
regaining its normal condition, and
warrant the prediction that 1894 wid
be one of the most prosperous years in
the history of the country, and that
the south is by far the most solid sec
tion of the country.
Catarrh Cannot be Cured
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you mus
take internal remedies. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts di
rectly on the blood and mucous sur
faces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is not a
quack medicine. It was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this coun
try for years, and is a regular prescrip
tion. It is composed of the best tonics
known, combined with the best blood
purifiers, acting directly on the mucous
surfaces. The perfect combination of
the two ingredientsis whatprduces such
wonderful results in curing Catarrh.

DAWNVILLE DOINGS.
A Fine Section of Whitfield With the
Beat of People.
Dawnville, Ga., January 16. —Not
much news in circulation among us just
at this time. It seems that everything
has gone into winter quarters but one
squirrel that was not found during the
Christmas holidays, and the reason of its
escape seems to De that it has gone to a
church house to live, at least there is
where we saw it. Surely no one will kill
that innocent little religious squirrel.—
We cannot give the particulars of the
services here Sunday last, as were not
present; we understand, however, that
the brethren under the diction of Bro.
Keith were moving on some. —You Mr.
Editor, we suppose have undertaken to
follow an ox wagon after it had some
little start on you, and therefore know
how hard it is to catch up. This will not
be counted boasting on our preachers by
our loved one of the Hamlet, but it will
be a timely warning to him, and us all, to
take an even start with all preaching,
and not let any gravels be cracked ahead.
—We are very sorry to note that we have
symptoms of paralysis in our right arm
and shoulder, but hope that it is only
temporary, and will be straightened out
in a few days.— We want to go to Dalton
very bad; but having only a wild colt to
ride, we have been waiting for a time,
thinking that the good city council there
with clever Sam P. Maddox at its very
head would have some racks put up at
this end of the city for us to hitch to,
and not force us a half mile farther on to
the wagon yard when, we only go in
horseback. But many, many thanks for
that wagon yard, and we know we voice
the sentiment of all Dawnville when we
say this. —ls there is crook in society
here in any line it is not known to us. —
But what ugliness there is about us, that
is not seen by us, is known to God, and
therefore known, “for there is nothing
hid that shall not be made known.”—No
new sick ones. —No more weddings, but
all lovely, save the mud. —Love to all.
Gratefully, VVm. McNabb.
Five Springs.
Five Springs, January 17. —I want to
shake hands with “The Au zi Cracker.”
He gave us such a good letter last week
about those who do not pay their debts,
that I believe I will say a few words on
this subject. We have a few of this class
of people among us, and their excuse
just now is “hard times.” Mention a
just debt they owe, and they cry out
“hard times.” A man who will lie out
of a just debt needs close watching. The
sooner everybody knows them the bet
ter; they are not fit for the church ; they
are not fit to deal with honest men.
Ami I was so glad the editor explained
and told us in true words, the meaning
of the Millennium. When they get to
Hades, they will have to hustle; if they
stop to cry “hard times,” their feet will
blister. — We had our pastor, Rev. J. N.
Myers, with us Saturday and Sunday.
To say Brother Myers preached us a
good sermon would hardly do him jus
tice . We feel that he preached us an
extra good sermon Saturday, on the old
familiar text, “The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want,” and Sunday the text
was: “Let your light so shine before
men that they may see your good works,
and glorify your father which is in
Heaven.” Many were made to feel they
would, at the commencement of this new
Conference Year, trim their lamps that
they may give more light —We had the
pleasure of an introduction to Mrs. Hall
man, of Texas, best known as Lavinia
Sutherland, a pure lady, a few days since ;
she left for her home in Texas yesterday.
