The directory in O4k the erection of an addition existing plants and President titgomery was about to yield to eir views, when intervention -me! was from the young son of the resident, Mr. -tor Montgomery. "I had been tninking over the cot n situation for a long time," said e, and I had formed some ideas of y own. The Pacolet mills as they ood manufactured all the cotton cally grown, and was forced to re enish with shipments from abroad. o build another mill there only eant an increase of shipments to at point, and the question naturally se: Since we have to get cotton shipment, why not cut off some of e freight rate by moving nearer in the unoccupied cotton field? What *true of cotton supply was equally e of the labor market. If you will kat the map you will see that the i-th and South Carolina manufac ing districts, so congested, make 'at demands on labor, while the r market back to the Tennessee between Atlanta and Gainesville ractically as untouched as is the on to the South. Somewhere in region then, where there is local very, cotton and a waiting labor ket, is the scene for the success cotton operation for the future. -further considering the question, r views arose.

I felt a doubt in urging ement against that of my at when he saw the figures ted them, and the directory to b)uild at Gainesville. eeling of duration was of aion however. My father '9t New York to complete a I ( IgLaIIUtlZ IUr tilU 1Rlinosvillo mill, but I had a prosontiont that at the last moment he would be prevailed upon to change his mind. Mooting my brother at the depot at Spartan burg I told him of my foars, and said: "I fool that I ought to be with father.' 'If you fool so strong ly,' ho replied, 'you should go. Take the first train.' Just thou the north bound vestibule steamed in and with out change of raimont or even time to purchase a ticket, I swung on to the platform. and was on my way to Washington. There I mot father on his return trip, his first greeting was: 'We will build at Pacolet.' I urged opposition so strongly that ho sug gested I might koop on and see the New York stockholders. This I do lined to do unless he would accom pany me. The question was reopened, Gainesvillo was canvassed and the result is what you see around you today." And truly a magnificent sight it is! There stands the o*d New Ilol land hotel, telling of summer joys and gala times in days past, when childron romped through the woods, and beauty sat upon the galleries. The springs from which so many quaffed the liquid draught alone will be continued in service. By the railroad there has been sunk the bed for a lake to hold 15,000,000 gallons of water. By the edge of the lake there rises into air the immenso six story factory, with i,ts monumental furnaces two hundred and fifty feet in height, approaching the gran deur of the Washington monument. In the building there are 9 3.4 acres of floor space. The contract for painting might have been given out by the acre instead of by the piece of live mile lengths. From wall to wall in the great spinning room there is a vista of 586 foet. Half mile further up the hall stands the water tower, a monument in itself, the first 40 feet holding 60,000 gallons of New Holland spring water for domes tic use, while the 175 feet above is filled with service water pumped in from the lake. Surrounding the wa ter tower, covering the distance to the suburbs of the city, and extend ing beyond Now Holland, is the now operatives' city. Two-story, white painted houses, with fifty feet land fronts to each, and running along wide well-paved streets and avenues. Under such surroundings with light, air, a garden, and family isolation, the operative community of a south ern cotton mill can vie in ambition, socially and otherwise, with any other business in the land. There are already one hundred more in course of erection. They are not operatives' tenements, but beautiful and substantial homes, in which pride may be as strong as it chooses to be. "I have already applications to run my mills three times," said Mr. Montgomery, as he looked over the scene. That is, on the same calcu lation already used, if ho wvould put up two more mills he could add 16, 000 to the population of the city. Gainesville wvill not fail to under stand this fact, nor should other towns in the State. The wvay to get population is to furnish work. "And as long as we export cotton," said Mr. Montgomery, "we cannot lose money in manufacturing it.'' As we drove away from the scene, which arose almost in a night, Dr. E. E. Dixon, the heaviest druggist in northern Georgia, said: "That man is worth more to Geor gia than all her politicians com bined." '"It is a wonderful change from the old timae," said Colonel U. C. San dors, "to see dancing feet give way to industry. I do not take much stock in comparing the now against the old South. It is the same South, which has abandoned one field in which it was a success to take up a new one, in which it is bound to be of eqaal success." Meeting Mr. Montgomery a lit,tle later he was induced to say a little about himself. "Where were you educated ?" he was asked. "I would not take an education," he answered. "When I was four teen I would stay about the mill and iuo store, and fatier put mo to work at 35 cents a day, and I had to earn my money, too. Some time later I went into a littlo store with i partnor, and then got married, whon I dis covered that it took more to support two than one, and the store was not oqunal to tho load it was called upon to carry. I went to my fathor for work, and ho put mi1 to work in the mill at '75 coWts a day with twoothor country boys. I thought it was mighty rough at the time, but I now see that father know what ho was doing. Ono of the boys became su perintendent of the mill within three years at a sala,ry that made my hair stand on eid, but father would say that I should get the experience to manago the business later on." That wa.s the story, simple, plain and direct. Ho had a business head, and in the industrial university con ducted by his father he got the best possible education, so that I quite agreed with the enthusiasm of Dr. Dixon that a man who could plant a million dollars ' , Georgia at a drop is, indeed, mor .o be preferred than those whose solo business in the country is the agitation of the massos. Nor is this all that the two Mont goiories have done for lainesvillo. In the distribution of a surplus somo years ago the Pacolet mill built the Vesta in Charleston. This was in the hope of securing abundant labor, in which they were so disappointed that they called in negro labor, think ing that in this way the mill might be kept running. That experiment attracted universal attention, and was generally misunderstood. Colo nel Montgomery had no desire to em ploy negro labor, and was only forced to that alternative in this instance to save invested property. At the same time, though not so intended by him, it furnished the opportunity for test ing the negroe's capacity for endur ance and vigilance. The experiment proved a failure. The whirring of the machinery set the operatives to sleep; pay day scattered the force until all the money was spent and the mill had to submit to the vagua ries of negro character. It was in this emergency that Col. Montgomery proposed to the citizens of Gainesville he would give them a second mill if they would subscribe for a small share of the stock. At one meeting $100,000 was raised and the mill was assured, and is now be ing erected at the junction of the Southern and Jefferson roads. This mill, to be known as the Gainesville, to equip which the Vesta has been dismantled, will cost about $600,000. It will run 25,000 spindles. The two mills will work up 42,000 bales of cotton per year, and their united payroll will be $30,000 per month. Another white city of about 150 two story houses is being built at this point, so that the traveler from the South, entering the white city of the Gainesville mill, will pass through the commercial city of New Holland, passing through a blaze of electric glory in keeping with the hopes of our rejuvinated section.

[Now.York Sun.] Tho fino toxture of Mr. McKinley's sbort address to the people along the line of his travels has boon observed by most Americans. When a prosi dont of the United States speauks on such occasions lie speaks through tho telegraphic lineis and the nowspaper press to all the millions in overy part of the land. Thero is a fierce light upon overy part, of every sentonco ho uttars, down to the conjunctions and the semicolons; and it is undoubtedly true that his success or failure in giving pleasure to his hearers aid readers, in stimulating thought en1 great questions without incurring re proach for partisan advocacy at aun improper time, and generally in avoiding offence without resort to platitudo, contributions vastly moro to tho popular idea of his individual quality than all the elaborate State papers lie writes from the beginning to the end of his tern of service. Mr. Kinley's mastery of the art of saying the right thing from the roar platform is not (loubted now by any person. It may he interesting to compare his methods of waysido oratory with those of some of his predecessors who have attempted the same diflicult and delicate job. It is well known that "s,.inging around the circle" originated with Andrew Johnson, who during his stormy term made several journeys characterized by much rhetorical in tercourse with his follow-citizens. It may not be so well known that in its original sonso the phrase did not refer to the geographical progross and route of Mr. Johnson, but was employed by him in one of his spoeches to describe his political career; he remarked to his audienco that he had swung around the entire circle of oflices, from alderman to president. The principal "swing" of Andrew Johnson was in the late summer and early autumn of 1S6, when he wont to Chicago-to attend the ceremonios at the laying of the cornorstone of a monument to Stephen A. Douglas, returning to Washington by way of Springfield, Ill., and St. Louis. Everywhere that he spoke he dis cussed the leading measures of his administration and the action of con gress, denouncing his Republican opponents in the senate and the house with a freedom and bitterness that were unexampled. We present as a specimen of Mr. Johnson's itin erant rhetoric part of the speech which he delivered on August 30, 1860, at Albany. "In being before you I do not ap pear in an official character. I ap pear-arid thank God I can state it! -as a fellow-citizen ar I as a citizen of one of the United States. In standing bdfore you tonight, I (10 so as an American citizen, claiming p)ro tection and resp)ect as a citizen of the United States. I know, fellow-citi zens, that enduinny and slandl.-r-thle fowl whelps of sir--and a merrcenary and subsidized press have attemp)ted to poison thio public mind in advance of those who are coming among you and prepare the public mind for an unfavorable reception. Fel low- citi zens of the United States, what is it I have done thus to expose me? What crime have I committed ?" And so on. T1he specimen is suffi cient. For eight years under Grant, there was silence on the rear platform, and on swinging around the circle. Mr. Hayes had not been in office six months before he started off for New England upon a oratorical circuit. He mrde many speeches, distin guished about equally by poverty of thought and an affection of conde scending familiarity toward his audi tors. The series was very flat. Per haps as intellectual a speech as any of them was that which Mr. Hayes delivered at Well river junction, on August 20, 1877. "It will bo impossiblo for us to stay long enough for us to havo a general shaking of haindu, for the audienco is too largo and the dis tlanco to be travelled4 by its too "rot to admit of. You must be sIttisfied with living Iho sai'lo advaniitages that I lve, that of seing.

He had laboriously preparod it 2ollection of readymado imprompitus in advance of his departuro from Washington oil his circular tour of 1887, an1d had m1nployed, to an in iutious extent, th ass"istainco of the American Cyclopedia inl the attompt. to impart local color to his intended remarks. Mr. Clovoland's ;irst. two itopping places worO Indianapolis aind Terro Haiute, and thoso points he proceeded with great personal satisfaction to instruct the inhabi tants about the early history and in dustrial resources of their respectivo towns. At Indianapolis, for e:am. ple, he said: "It seems to me that not the least cause for an Indianian's pride should bo his Stato capital. First settled in 1819, 0110 year therelLfter its popu lation numberod fifton families.

Forty years' growth has given it a population of at least 100,000, and all the business activity that clirac terized it prosporous American city." This astounding familiarity with the dates of early local history, and the rapid fire of facts andi statistics from the rear platform which was temporarily Mr. Cleveland's pulpit, ats thbe train hauled up for a few minutes to allow t ho president to speak, led to suspicion and1( inivesti gat ion. i s oratorical style wats so much like that of a hook reference that there was little difliculty in trate ing his eloqluenco to its source.
