SOVERSIX MILLIONS
IN NEW COTTON MILLS.
IV * xSTUD IN THE SOUTH DUE
ING THE LAST QU'RTER.
Iaeresse is Capitalization of a Number of
Sa astial Eills Indicates that the
Leaders of the Industry
Have Faith in It.
During the third quarter of the
year embracing July, August and
deptember, plans have been mad to
add to the Southern textile equTp
meat 328,068 spindles and 8,513
looms, representing an investment of
about 86,561,3860. Figures compiled
by the Manufacturers' Record in last
week's issue show 172,128 spindles
and 4,118 looms to be added by 20
established; companies and 155,940
spindles and 4,395 looms to be in
stalled by 13 new companies. Re
viewing the quarter the Manufactu
>ess' record says:
"The key-note of present progress
seme to be the determination of
Southern manufacturers to enter the
field of fine goods production. This
tendency appears in announced plans
of mills for making the higher counts
of yarns and fine cloth, two such pro
9et being especially notable. One
of these is the $2,000,000 plant that
the Messrs. Duke and their associ
ates of Durham, N. C., and New
York city will build at Dunn, N. C.
It will have 70,000 spindles and
2,000 looms for the production of
denims and camlets and about the
plant will be established a modern
mill town with every facility for
health and convenience The second
project is that of the Dan River
Power and Manufacturing company
of )auville, Va., - which will build a
" 0,000 da12 and power house on
the Dan river near Danville to oper
* ate a plant of 80,000 spindles and
* 2,400 looms. It is the purpose to
build first a mill of 40,000 spindles
and about 1,200 looms, to be followed
by the construction of a second mill
- of the same capacity, and about $2,.
000,000 jil be invested in the enter
prise. This company is closely allied
with the Riverside Cotton mills, a
*$2,000,000 corporation operating 67,
650W spindles and 2,640 looms in the
* ~ predpiotion of plaids, checks, stripes
and sheetings.
"~Another step towards fine goods
production has been taken in the
* ~ $200,000 finshed plant of the Gaff
-ney', 8. C., Manufacturing company
- now approaching comnpletion. This
* ~ addition wdll contain the equipment
-for bleaching 'and mercerizing yarns,
<and piece goods, dyeing yarns, warps
and giece goods, printing piece goods
anNoi~~washing, entering, calendar
ing and finishing cotton goods, and
will enable the plant, which contains
6 7,040 spindles and 1,400 looms to
ehagA from plain print cloths to
fanny dobby weaves, dress goods,
Waitings, etc.
"A most interesting fact about this
textile progress is that a majority of
the additions in spindleage are
planned by the successful Southern
cotton manufacturers-men 1#ho are
fully acquainted with the resources
* of their section and base their deci
*sitins to increase their investments
upon an experience of many active
years in this industry."
Bearing upos the movement in the
South toward stock..raising and pack
ig.hnns-ais a letter to the Mann
facturers' Record from Mr. Charles
J. Haden of Atlanta, who writes re
*garding the native grasses of Geor
gia and Florida:
"I know that in the West the im
pression prevails that the native
grasses of Georgia and Florida are
not nutritious, but this is a mistake.
'Nutritious' is a relative term. It is
possible that pound for pound, the
natRYo grass of the Western plains
* has more flesh producing power than
* any equal quantity of grass of the
pine lands, but there can be no doubt
* that acre for acre the converse is
true. Our Georgia and Florida grass
grows taller and denser.
* "For 60 years or more cattle and
* sheep have been successfully growni
in South Georgia and Florida with
out other food at any time of the
year than the indigenous grasses. .. .
Last week while in Clinch County,
Ga., I found the cattle were as sleek
and Iat as the best I saw in my jour
ney across the plains. The breed of
South Georgia cattle is small; so
were the cattle in the early range
days of the West. In the West they
were bred up from a 600 pond av
erage animal to a 1,000 pound aver
age, and the same can be done in of
the Southeast. The fault is in the b(
grower, not in the grass. If fires w
are kept out of the forests for two t1
consecutive years or more the volume b
of grass is very greatly increased.
When thus protected there appears
a very valuable growth of evergreen
shrubs, excellent for grazing, and
best of all, the wild oats, the finest
of all wild grasses. When the white
man first occupied South Georgia he
found the forests covered in wild oats.
They were destroyed by annual for
est fires and cannot be brought back ti
within only one season's freedom from d
fires." ti
STATE AND COUNTY FINANCES. ti
Careless Way in Which the County Finances C
Are Usually Handled-The State a
Sinking Fund. C
[August Kohn in News and Courier.] a
i Ni deal has been written about I
the condition of the State's finances. P
The necessity of -getting the State P
upon a nonborrowing basis has here- 8
tofore been mentioned. The coun- e
ties are integral parts of the State,
but far too little is known about the 0
financial condition of the counties.
Of course the chief requirements is 3
that the counties should be satisfied ?
with their own financial condition.
The fact of the matter, however, is
that most people in the counties do
not pretend to inquire into the county 8
finances as they should. Take the
average man, and he hardly knows
whether his county is operating upon
a cash basis or not, and he is a rarity R
if he can tell how much money his h
county has borrowed, and certainly C
not one in a hundred taxpayers can
tell the aggregate- indebtedness of 1
the- county, bonded, or by notes float.
ing.
It is really a very much more seri
ous condition than might be supposed ?
Within the last few weeks in two 8
counties loans of $5,000 and $3,500, t
which ought to have been sett.ed
with funds on hand, have slipped
through the hands of those who
ought to have discove'red the irregu
larities, and the county officials did
naot know whether these claims had
been paid or not, and certainly if the
county grand juries and county offi
ials did not know of such irregula- '
rities the average taxpayer could not
be expected to know it.
The Comptroller Genierai's office ~
hopes to be able to present tables ~
from the various counties showing ~
exactly what amount of indebtedness ~
ioutsading against each of them,
It will be a difficult matter to get ~
this data up correctly, but when it C
is prepared with care it will be im
portant and valuable.
A great many counties have war
rants outstanding of which they keep I
no record, and a systematic plan on C
the part of the State authorities will
at least have the merit of getting the '
counties started right in keeping tab
of what they owe and how the vari
ons sinking funds and bond accounts
stand, and letting the public know. ~
While on the subject of sinking I
funds it may be interesting to note ~
that the State's sinking fund must
now carry itself and that its main in
erea.se will have to 'come from the I
interest account. The sinking fund a
now amounts to about half a million.
dollars. This fund was largely built
up from the royalties on phosphate '
rock in the days of the Coosaw comn
pany. More than $200,000 a year
has been paid into tbe State's coffers
from the royalty of phosphate rock, I
but since the goose which laid the 8
golden egg was killed the annual c
royalty has dwindled down year by -
year and now is only about $20,000
a ye, r, and the prospect is that it
will be even less. The state sinking!
fnd was created for t be purp"se of
retiring the State's bi1ds. It will!
be a slow process, but, the balf a
miflion t.hat is now on band will at!
least be available for that purpose
when the bonds are due.
The State now holds, having pur
chased themi in open market, about
$114,000 worth of Stt bonds. ItA
has loaned to th" State Hous. com
mission, for ttoe purpose of comnplet
ing be Stat-e Hqase~, about $175,000,
of which two instalnments of $15,000
have already been paid as agreed
upon, and subsequent annual pay.
mets will have to be paid at the.
same rate. The State has loaned to
the various borrowing counties about
B125,000, for which the county taxes
are pledged, and the counties are
paying the State sinking fund a nom
al interest. The remainder of the
aund, about $100,000, is on deposit
State banks, drawing interest at
he rate of 4 per cent.
If the income had continued as of
d from Coosaw, it would not ha
sen difficult for the State to ha
iped out as much .as a million
vo of the State's debt each time t
)nds had to be renewed.

(The State.)
South Carolinians are winni

ier and striking instance. Reee
r at the Democratic State Conve

f Merced County, Cal., was una

most certain to be tollowed by

The San Francisco Examiner si
f Judge Law:
"J. K. Law, nominee for eb

Lutil April, 1900, when at the ea

In speaking of Judge Law
