Cottttu Factories.
It seems that the capitalists of this Stub'
seem to be at last waking up to the impor
tance of home manufactories. As is prop
er, special attention is being given to the
erection of cotton factories. Cotton is the
great product of this State, and if its
growth and manufacture receives proper
attention it will prove a source of almost
boundless wealth to our people. We may
now hope to see the day when our staple
will !>** manufactured into fabrics in the
very land where It is grown, and no long
er sent over thousands of miles of railway
to come back for our use*, made costly by
freight monopolies and outrageous prof
its. Atlanta is fully awake on the subject,
and a cotton factory with a strong capital
is certain to lie built in thatdty very soon.
The factories at Augusta have done won
derful things in the past two years. Their
dividends are so large and thoir stock so
good, that many capitalists would be glad
to be interested in their success. We be
lieve another large factory i# soon to be
built In that city.
Columbus, iu the quantity and variety
of her manufacture, is undoubtedly lead
ing the Stab 1 . Our factories are an honor
to the city, and there can lie no telling how
much they contribute to its prosperity.
We hope that the proposition to build
another large factory here may meet with
all success. There is no reason why Geor
gia should not have as many cotton facto
rics as any of her sister States; there is no
roasou why Columbus may not maintain
her present position, and always Ik* the
manufacturing city of our State.
Wo believe that when the capital of our
people Je invested in projects of this kind,
and when wo receive a reasonable amount
of aid from foreign capital, our pristine
prosperity will on**** more begin b> return.

I.adieu’ Memorial A oclut lon.
The. billies tended and cared for the sick
soldiers, and when some died and were bu
ried, in the cemetery, they determined to
keep the graves in as good order as possi-
Wo,Hiid have a cenotaph upon which to
enroll the names of the dead, until a
monument could be ereetod. When a
committee of young men were requested
to collect from citizens, several gentlemen
sent the ladies word that they did not like
anything of wood, which would last only
a short time, but would subscribe large
amounts for a marble monument. The H< >-
ciety determined b> keep that in view, col
lecting whenever possible, and putting
it all out at interest, except actual expen
ses for each annual decoration day, (which
had lx*>n proposed by Mrs. Charles J. Wil
liams, and adopted by the Society.) As
there is now more interest felt by ladies,
and many new memliors, who have not
known the previous receipts and ex
penditures of the Memorial Association,
the Treasurer desires us b> publish the re
cords of former years, and hereafter all
will Im* published after each Decoration
day:

The proposition to redu.v tho )Mlloc

proval. •
The present force consists <>r fourteen
men. Mm-on, with a population of sever
al thousand more people than we have,
has only elftht. The prop.tr proportion
for Columbus, takinK this as a standard,
| would be about six, eight less than are
j employed at present, lly this large dim
inution of tlie force, the eity will lx> savixl
fully p-r year. Ti.is amount is
nearly suflleicnt to pay the into rust on the
eity del.t. The subject is of at least suf-
Hetent importance to demand the atten
tion of our City Fathers. If the cit y van
lx. saved so large an amount every year,
and the public peace well preserved, it
should by all means be done. There is
certainly no more lawlessness here than
there is in Macon, and if eix'ht policeman
can preserve the peace nf thnt eity, six
cau do tlie work hero.
If the force is reduced, the men who arc
.put on It should be the very best, tits! van

Incorporation l (li anl end Brownevlllc,
CREEK BRIDGE, AC.
Mr. Editor: Homebody, signing himself
“Marshall," turns up his pious nose,
through your columns, In holy horror at
the Idea of incorporating lower Girard
with Browncvillc as one town, to lie called
Marshall. Such an association, in his eyes,
would be horrible. If we of lower Girard
could stand tlio affiliation, the writer and
his friends might lenr it. J don't think
that the people of either village are anx
ious for incorporation, but if they are, I
think both sides of the creek should be
included; as, with aIJ the widely stuttered
population, it would be onerous to support
much of a municipal corporation. The
corporation ought also to include a small
portion of Lee county, as many of the liest
citizens of Marshall or Brownovflle live
beyond the Western Railroad.
But the writer went out of hi* way to
say that Girard wanted ineorjKiration iu
order to force Marshall to assist in build
-1 ing a crock bridge; and further, to ven
-1 tur© the assertion that said bridge is not
|in I*l led. The citizens of Girard beg leave
' to differ with the gentleman. Wo want the
bridge, arid want it badly, and hope the
Commissioners’ Court, of Russell will pro
ceed at once to have it rebuilt. If the
county is too poor to rebuild it, let a
special tax lie levied for that and other
bridges in the county, which are so badly
needed. All good citizens should lx* wil
ling to lx* taxed to keep up county bridges.
It is untrue that a gixxl foundation cannot
be obtained at the old site; nor is the creek
more hazardous than others in the county.
The lost bridge fell because its principal
; pier was in the sand, and was 11 jxxr affair .
any way. The one before that, fell byj
criminal neglect of the county. Already
property in the vicinity lias depreciated
far morethau would be required to build ;
another bridge.

returned lie found his whole yard open.
He wishes to know if those parties hare

will l>e much obliged if they will be so kind
as to return the-hinges. The people in

the authorities do not relieve them they
will take the law into their own hands,
and see what relief can be had fn that

1 Mr. Editor— Allow me, as a philanthropic
act to those whose lives arc languishing
under the effects of rheumatism, dyspep
sia, cancer and other chronic Dis<*ases, to
direct their attention and recommend
their application to Dr. David 1L Benton,
of your city. Dr. Benton is a gentleman
and skillful physician in his peculiar line
having devoted much of his Lime to the
nature and treatment of chronic diseases,
esfx*clttlly cancer, in its multiform phases.
"I s|xuk that Ido know.” Although my
self an humble follower of the noble art
of healing, and it may be (as I am human)
a little jealous of those who havo “knocked j
into thin air” my youthful aspirations for
i Ixjooming the monarch of medicine, yet !
; sheer justice to Dr. Benton, and, Mr. Ed-:
; itor, a firm conviction that I can thus do 1
1 greater service to the unfortunate sons 1
, find daughters of affliction than by any !
! other means in my power, constrains in**
I to come forward in this public manner
and say that I have for several years
watched Dr. Benton’s mode of treatment,
and have Ixjen most wonderfully aston-
IshtM'l at his success in every case of can
cer a disease which my medical authors
and teachers, from Hypocrates down,
iiav3 taught me as incurable. If the 1
amount of gocxl he has accomplished if !
th* wearing, agonizing anxiety he has re
lieved; if tii<* tears wrung by pain from j
the heart of affliction he has dried, or |
rather changed from bitter, scalding, 1
heart-withering agents, to gentle drops of
jov, gratitude and hope—oould be com- j
puted, a monument high as Heaven and
durable as the handiwork of God, would
rise to ids name spontaneously from the
hearts of those who have boon beiieiitted
by ids works.

in our land, who may be suffering in any
way iHN-uliar to their sox, may be able to
procure a bottle, and their sufferings may
not only be relieved, but that thev mav Ir*
r<*sUred to health and strength.
