Tlhis sugges Lion wals wiamly steconded by a numnbol ~of mtil-owner-s, but it was in 'advance of the Limes. T1he idea itself *, was, howeverI, rig ht, hut thu imo was nol propitious. Any ieurioful student oh Sotthern bust ies condi itions is forced to the conclusion thatL the spirit of un rest an~d dissatisfaution hits been large ly dIuO to the fact, that the South's bost bankable assets-its cotton, r'aw and manufactured, and its cotton-mill stocks-have not been good co~lateral for loans at moderate r'ateis of initerest, Raiilroad stocks and bonds canI COmn mantid mIonety at all times, but thi South'su money is not, largely invostet inl railroad secu~rlties. Thie inabilits to uso0 cotton--itinisically, oInc of thi best collteralsu in the wo2rldl--is til ' reason for the great unthuosiasm with which the South has recto~d the idoi of b)ondedl cotton wareho~uses. Now conmes anlother' plan, as outlinet in 0ou' nows~ columins, for tihe purposi of purchasing for cash the stocks of I Slarge number' of Southern cotton milli ~W an dby com'bliing themi into oneO corpo ration, to ureate a market for their so curitlos in all loading financIal centers Bo far as the Manufacturers' Recor< CanI sue, this plropositlon has in it, man1 strong advantages for the South, -withi out any serIous grawback anrd withou any danger to the best intetiosts of thu whole Southb. It simply, means that good many millions of dollars, all o which,, we are inlormied, has beei guaraneed by the foremost financior of New York, will be put into Southa era mills, and thus 3burn' loose tha amount of local capital now investod i these mills, increasing to that.ext~et *J' available money of the Soti the $5,06o,00O of capital thus supplar ed, which would mean a -wonderful-a ditlon to the wealth of that plac And se it would be elsewhere. Mor over, a combination of this kin4 backed by vast capital, could bull many now mills, enlargo those pu chased and push the product of il mills into all foreign markets. Th scheme scoms to be one of vast benef to the South, and, so far as the Mimn facturers' Record can learn, the me who are behind it have not horotofoi boon investors to any large extent I the South. This vast enterprist wh0b, it, is thought, may run up t from $50,00C,000 to $100.000.000, wi mean a 1deep Interest in the South b the foremost linanolors of the countr It. will probably mean the full turnin of the title of capital southward, an its, intienco must be felt in overy lin of o iness. In a rucent issuo of the Manufactu rers' i cord it was stated that the roa battles of the world today are the bat 0Aes for iIdttlustrial iupretmacy, and t! a if the South wants to gain power I must do ,o on the lield of economic pro duction.

Frmers aire forced to rush teir cotton Io market and by the ap irent glut to depress the market fur ter. When the first rush is over it is ually scen that tile early predictions cro exaggerated and prices - begin to end. By the time tie cotton has wsed out of tile hands) , of the farmers to the possession of the traders and occulators it has icached much better ,ures than the farmers received.

You cannot do our people a eater service than to constantly ad so thin to hold every available balo cotton they call. It is just as sure bring intich better prices as the sun to rise.

It is an old expression with the old >ttoni men that ,cotton is a fool,' and ic fellow that claims to be cocksure >out what the cotton market is going do at any time is not wise, but we hope that, our farmers who have the isfortune of a poor crop in this terri 'ry will at least have the satisfaction receiving the advanced price for ceir product, and not let it all pass ito the hands of others before remun :ative figures are reached.-Augusta hroniclc.
