Wedmea&Jkj, Mar?k 38, -- 1909 r C?XTKOLX.IXG COTTOX. The American G-ianer and Cetton Beptrtinf Agea?j te?s great dinner to the formers in the 'establishment of warehouses for the storage ?f cotton. It S88BK3 underneath the system a secret scheme to control the cotton aarket and oppress the farmer. It admits that this is not the avowed purpose of the "Napaleons in the domain of business," ptblicly expressed, bat that i 'the iavasioB has gbeen undertaken" and "is insidious in its approaches. " This is abeut the way the scheme will be worked accordiag to the ?inner: "The cotton will be taken to th* wapfl^nn&A hv fhn fareftrs when the pries of cotton Is cot satisfactory, and the farmer will want a little money on hit cotton. He will take his warehouse receipt and negotiate a loan approximating the value of the eotton at ths time of delivery. The warehoate concern will probablr advance the money itself. When the cotton declines a margin will be demanded, but the farmer has spent the money he borrowed and cannot pet it up. He loess his cotton, and the warehouse concern has his cetton." This, of eourse, may set apply to , local warehouses ownei by home people, but the trusts have a way of crushing oat loeal competition. They have swallowed so nearly all the cotton seed oil mill;, and they mav get central ef the warehouse. The farmer has within himself, 4 however, the pewer to be independent of the trusts. If he will raise his own supplies and cotton as a surplusage, . he can hold his eotton himself when nUatu ?rif) mre\r\'t Vi*jrm tr\ hni'PltW - ??w money on it. The trouble with the farmer is that his methods of doing business make him an easy prey for the trusts to devour. "TOWS BUILD3EXS." In reund numbers $S,000,000 have been invested in cotton mills in this State since the first day ol January. We regret that not one cent of this amount has been > .vested in Wiuns* boro. The future of Winnsbore, as is the case with nearly every little town in tbe South, depends upon cotton manufacture. The following from the if r a .) t> j ... . rv?tura xe? pvi uugut. Not only do cotton mills bring profits to stockholders, they bringjprofita to *11 in a commanity by building up the towns in which they are located. They are emphatically the town builders of this sectien. They &T6 filling the Carolina* and Georgia with prosperous towns. Columbia, which was sleepy *\ and unpromising, bas sprang.; from a v- population of 10,035 in 1890 to 20,000. It is now wide-awake and fall of promise. Griffin, in Georgia, & town midway of Atlanta and Macon, sapped by both, was in a state ot decay, out cotton mills bare placed it in a prosperous and substantial condition. Greenville, in South Carolina, had 3,607 people in 1890; it will show in the new census orer 15,000. Spartanburg, which had 5,500 in 1890, will show 12,000 this year. Gafiney, which consisted a few years ago of a railroad station and a lime kiln, has been * turned by mills into a ^prosperous litV Ue city of 3,000 people. Pelaer, which was a spot on the map, now contains - N < 3,000 people. North Carolina is lull of similar examples of growth from and through cotton mills. WVion rtna ianctitMni Krinai ir> deads and general prosperity, it is no wonder that towns from the Rio Grande all around to the Potomac are gathering capital and building many mills, and large mills, too, in some cases. The cotson mill movement in the South is the wonder and glory of these times in the Cotton States. It cannot be carried too far. Baild mills in big towns and in little towns, and even at roa,d crossings, for every welinan&ged mill is a gold nine alike to stockholders and to the public. We need more of these "town builders." One mill has done a great deal lor us. We ought to have a half dozen in less than fire years. Thx Japanese are closer to the Philippines than we are, and probably know more about them. A Japanese yiawowamav* VkACT rtOOffKf kmnAr Af t ucnauapci vu^uu iuv umuvt v* the frequent report# that the war there is over. It says: "Manila papers continue to report the annihilation of the rebels, the complete desertion of A^uinaldo and other excitements. * * . - It wiii aaionnt to this, that when Agaiaaldo is taken?if he 8ver is?and when the Philippine army is smashed people will not believe it. Most people will wink ths other eye and say the Americans maet be getting badly corncred again." By the way, what has oecome ox Agein&ldo? Has tbat chase after him ever ended? The Spectator (Londos) thinks that afler about three years the United States can give the Philippines "as much profitable business as is good for the morality of any Asiatic people." The Administration it has observed it imbued with European ideas. The Puerto Rican tariff bill, in its opinion, will give the people of that island "as much profitable business as is good for their morality." Sjfer~* ' r or Over jrtzvj x ears.
