COTTON ANI) COTTON MILLS. Facts and Comments of Interest to Everybody in South Carolina Textile World. The cotton crop for this season is superior in nearly all of its qualities to that of lasl Reason. As near as wo can ascertain from numerous inquiries from the largest cotton buyers for the New Kngland mills, the crop, in clean linens, is 1 per cent, better than last year, in length of stapled per cent.better, and in spinning qualities, 10 per cent, bettor, while the average grade is about the same. It seems now pretty conclusive | that we shall have a cotton crop j this season of 10,300,000 bale-, j ! Kstimat. - have b a made r wie jinn from 9,650,000 to 11,000,0001 bales.

Should the factories of tho south ever lose their hold upon j tho native population for their help, they will have tho negro > population to fall bark upon, which will be more desirable for factory employes 10 to 20 years hence than it is today. Tho southern factory population may pass through similar phases as has been experienced in New England, where 30 years ago the factory population was made up principally of the tons and daughters i of New England farmers, but now their places are taken by foreigners. first,mostly by Irish and later by French Canadians, while in y some of our manufacturing centres there has prown up a considerable population of 1*0108 and , some of tho least 'desirable from tho central and southern Europe. ?Messrs.
