A- COTTON FACTORY.
As the people of our town are
just now exercised, and laudably
so, upou the question of a cotton
factory, the following latter- will
not be amiss. This letter was
written by the secretary and man
ager of the Bamberg cotton factory
to the editor of the Colleton Press
and Standard :
"Time will not permit me to
write such an article as you should
have-for your, paper. I am glad
to see that ypur people are coming
to the front, and hope the time is
not far distant when every town in
the State will have her cotton mill.
We need diversified business, and
there is no enterprise which will
help your town more than a cotton
mill.
"It is the characteristic of opera
tives to spend all they make, and
to open up the pay-roll of $1,200
to $1,500 per month in your tow?
will increase^0 *h?:'\

^V%^ have three or
t_3-^s^rTjurand then not have as many as
the Eastern States have, which
have to import their cotton.
"You can put up a nice mill for
$100,000. This would give you
5,000 spindles and 165 looms, as it
should not cost you in excess of
$20 per spindle. Should you put
in spindles and no looms you could
put in 10,000; but I would advise
that you put in looms and a few
extra spindles for the purpose of
working up your waste. I would
further advise that your weaving
- be on fine cloth, say 4 and 6 yards
to the pound. The number of bales
of cotton consumed will depend
largely upon the class of goods
you make-the finer your goods
the smaller the amount of cotton
consumed.
"Such a plant as you contemplate
would consume from six to eight
bales per day.
"It would be well to locate your
mill as near the railroad as pos
' sible, and at the same time, con
venient to water. This would save
you hauling your goods machinery,
and coal, should you use coal,and I
advise that you do nnless you can
get 4-ft wood delivered at $1. 25
per cord.
"If you can give a good strong
note, you can buy your machinery
for one-third cash, balance in one
and two years at 6 per cent in
terest. .
"It would require about 115
hands to operate the above plan.
As to the average wages paid I am
not in a position to say accurately,
from the fact that they vary from
10 cents to $2.50 per day owing to
the skill of the operative. Most
operatives are paid by the piece.
Slubbers,speeders,spoolers twisters,
and spinning are all piece work,
also weavers andso on throughout
the various- departments. You
may open up with a few experien
ced operatives and draw on your
surrounding country for the resi
due, as they are more likely to
remain in your employ and are
generally more reliable than the
floating class common to all mills.
"Much of your expenses can be
saved by a well-constructed and
convenient building. I would ad
vise that you build a one-story
not over two at any rate-brick
building. One overseer, with his
various assistants could superin
tend all, where, if you had a three
story, it would require one for each
?tory.
"It will take 200 to 225 horse
power engine.
/ "If I can be of further service
to you I shall be pleased to serve
you. In the selection of your
. machinery and the plan for your
building I might give you some
points or assistance that would be
of benefit tb you.
Yours, very truly,

BESOMS OF WIND AND FLAME
The Prairies of the West

INCALCULABLE LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY.
[The Winds Sweept Over Min

OMAHA, NU., April 8.-The
gale which swept" over ' Nebraska |
yesterday bore before it great bil
lows of flame which swept from
thousand of fertile acres every
[ vestige of vegetation. The ^limta
I of the fire which has raged during
the last ten days have become al
j most state wide and the destruc
truction that was thought might
be small has become enormous.
It is too soon to get any idea of |
how much the exact damage is,
for the places most affected are
remote from telegraph lines. It is
known, though, that muon grap
and hay in store together with
many barns and other out
buildings, miles of fences, dozens!
.of dwellings and many bridges)
have bten^licked'up. Whether any
[lives have been lost is? not repor
ted, though it seems almost de
yond doubt that some Bettlers who |
are located away from easy assis
tance must have perished.
In-Banner county the village of j
Ashmore is supposed to have been
completely destroyed. , Word was
brought to Harrisburg last night
by the driver of the stage that
the town was directly in the path
of the fire at4 o'clock, and that the
entire pupulation of the village
was engaged in a battle to save
their homes. The stage driver re?

CATTLEMEN LOSE EVERYTHING.
North Platte. Neb., April 8.-I
A disastrous praire fire broke out j
south of Sutherland in this county
yesterday. The loss will probably
reach $1.000.00. It is claimed that
the fire was started by a passing
engine. Never has such a dis
astrous prairie fire devastated the
valley. Everything fora distance
of twenty-five miles is in ruins and
the width reaches from three to
four miles. Everything, corrals,
barns, fences and haystacks are in
ashes The fire started south of
Sutherland ? . ah ort ly; before noon
and swept everything before it
travelling at the rate of from
30 to 50 miles an hour. Shortly
after 12 o'clock it struck the city
of North Platte wheie only by
almost superhuman efforts the
town was saved. The fire com
panies responded to the alarm as
soon as it was known the fire was
I raging west of the city and when
they reached the outskirts of the
city the fire was upon them and
fought them back within the
water limits. Almost everything
beyond the water limits was licked
up in a few minutos by the
flames. The faimers and
ranchers in this neighborhood will
lose everything.

What Bad Roads Cost 1
Country*
The Board of Trade in a Tenn
see town, in a recent memorial
the Legislature, demonstrated tl
bad roads were costing the p
pie of that commonwealth nv
than .$7.000.000 annually.. Pi
W. W. Carson of the University
Tennessee after careful investi]
tioii, found the average cost
hauling to the Knoxville marl
by wagon to be $7.50 per ton
aggregating $1.250.000 a year
the total tonnage hauled. ]
maintained - that this hauli
could have been done for half t
sum over good dirt roads and J
one-sixth of it over good macadi
roads, saving 31.000.000 annual
Prof. Richard T. Daly of the Joh
Hopkins University and Secreta
of the American Economic J
sociation affirmed that poor roa
cost this country over $20 a hor
and Prof. Jenks of Knox Collei
111., thinks $15 a horse a low esl
mate for the loss. From pape

been able to obtain of the cost <

what is understood to be agrien
tural products fully $135.000.0(
annually. I think it a modera

an equal amount, making a tot;

WILL GOOn ROAUS PAY?
Mr. Stephen Favill of Madiso
Wis., in an article on highway
says: "Butthe question of whei
her or not it will pay to build an?
care for our country roads i
fortunately not all theory but th
practical demonstration has bee]
worked out. England, France,
Germany, and many other of thi
European countries have col vet
this problem to their entire satis
faction, and some parts of ou:
own country have tried this matte]
far enough to prove that as a busi
ness venture it is one of the ven
best for the farmers. There hat
been no general taking hold ol
this matter in this country as in
European countries, but some ol
the States have laws allowing
counties to bond and borrow moue j
to build roads. My time will al
low me to give only one or two ol
the many good results that have
come from good roads. In Union
county .JN. J., the road improvement
fever got hold of the people and
they expended $350.000 in ma
cadamizing their roads, and the
testimony of those best qualified
to- know is that the increased
valuation of their lands would
more th au six times pay the cost.
Just one case of a mah owning 123
acres that he valued at $65 an
acre and could not find a buyer at
that, had since the advent of
good roads, refused $200 an acre
for the whole tract. I do not
claim that rate, but I am confident
that the increase in the value of
our farming lands that would fol
low the advent of good roads in
our State would very much more
than pay all the cost of buildug
them, to say nothing of the con
venience and luxury 'of having a
road that could be used at any
season of the year."
The experinonce of every well
informed man teaches that in each
and every case where good roads
have been constructed, property
has advanced to such an extent as
to make the improvement cost
absolutely nothing.

-THEE
Union Mutual Life Insurance Company,
OIF1 IFO^TLAJSO), I1VLAXN"DS.
Incorporated, 1848.
Its Policies are the Most Liberal Now, Offered
to the Public.
IB l he only existing Company whose policies are, o: can Le subject to the
MAINE NON-FORFEITURE LAW.
WHAT IT IS. -
The Maine Non-Forfeiture law protects policies from forfeiture
by reason of default of payment of premiums. It provides that, after
three years' premiums have been paid, failure to pay any subsequent
premiums shall not forfeit a policy, but it shall continue in force for
its full amount until the reserve (iess a small surrender charge) upon
the policy is exhausted. |
The reserve is a sum made up of portions of each and every pre
mium paid upon a policy in anticipation of its, maturity. Beginning
with a small portion of the first premium, it is increased each year by
the addition of each subsequent premium, and grows larger year by
year, until, at maturity, it oxactly equals the face of the policy. When
a policy is discontinued therefore, there is in the hands of tho Conch
pany a reserve, greater or less, according to the character and age of
the policy. Instead of permitting the Company, upon non-payment
of premium, lo confiscate this reserve, the Maine Non-Forfeiture Law
requires the Company to continue the policy in. force until the policy
holder receives un equivalent for it in extended insurance.'
How IT WORKS.
If a perron, aged 35, pay6 three years' premiums upon a twenty^
payment Life policy and then discontinues payment, th? p?Jicy will
be continued 4 years and-257 days longer; if he pays five premiums,
and then discontinues, the insurance- will continue 7 years and 357
days longer.
If the policy is a twenty year endowment, same age, three years'
payments will give an extension of 8 years and 150days; five years'
payment 13 years, 300 days. If the policy is a l&Tear Endowment, !
($1,000) same age, three years'payments will secure insurance to the %
end of the endowment period and $13.68 in cast if insured lives till
that time, and in like manner ten years' payments secures insurance
for the full 15 years and $592.17 in cash. ^
These extensions vary with the age of the insured, lhe class of ;
oolicy, iu years and days, for each number of payments, so that the
olicy-holder knows ata glance exactly what he is entitled to if he
?8continues his payments at any time.
What It Has Done.
The Company Has Paid over Two Hundred Death Claims, in con
sequence of this law, aggregating in sums insured more than Four
Hundred Thousand Dollars.
In every case there had been a default in *he payment of pre
mium, and, except for this law, the policies would have been of little
or no value. Instead of this, the insurance in cachease was extended
to the time of death, and the Company was required to pay to the
beneficiaries under the policies the sum of $418,335.77.

It is the custom of many companies to provide in their policies
that, upon discontinuance of payment of Premium, paid-up policies
will be given, without the option of extension. This was the practice
of the Union Mutual before the Maine Non-Forfeiture Law was en
acted, but it now substitutes for paid-up values the more advantage
ous plan of extended ineurance. The<pbjection to the paid-up system
is that the amount of paid-up insurance which is given upon the dis
continuance of payments upon a policy, unless it has been in force a
great many years, is insignificant, and of little or no value as protec
tion ; and it leaves the insured who ceases payment without adequate
insurance at the very time he needs it the most. >
The great advantage of the extended insurance afforded by the
Maine Law over the most liberal paid-up system is strikingly shown by
the following comparison, and it will be observed that the. paid-up
value is insignificant in cornparieou with the amount actually paid by
the Union Mutual. The result of two hundied aud twelve policies
was this:
If the insured had received paid-up policies instead of ex
tended insurance, the Company would have had to
pay in settlement of the claims only. $98,197.50
Whereas, in fact, it did pay under the Maine Law, $418,344.77
Making a difference in favor of the beneficiaries under Two
Hundred and Twelve policiei of $320,147.28
