Tbs following ?ddres? wai delivnr ad by B S Walker, president of the Monroe Cotton Mills snd vice preei dent of Bsnk of Monroe, Gs , before lbs Beukere' Association of Georg is, at their oooveoiion held st Wsrm Springs, Os.

I em tired of seeing our farmers sell their oottoo at $26 per bale to foreign msuu'scturer* and boy it baok ie its losaofsctured eiste st from $60 lo $75, the difference between the pries received <aod price paid having gone lo pay freight, to es hob foreign manufacturer* ?od to feed sod clothe the poor of other ooontries, while our worthy poor people are left to apend their lives in misery sod went. A noble old Georgian, who hss made s large fortune by msnnfscloring oottoo, said e few dsys sgo, as several hoodred of bis operatives were paeeiog out of bio mill: "1 eojoy feeding and cloth leg Ibeae poor people more than I enjoy ell the mooey I've msde " If by what 1 shall ssy here lodsy 1 eaa aroeee one dead, aleepy town to action ; if I eaa cause one honest i Georgia widow with bsr helpless children to lease the cotton field, where Ihey are aot making expenses, aad more to a eow oottoo mill to be built la her county town ; lo move from the old dilepidslsd cabio in lbs ooaatry to rt?e new, white oottsge io she mill village neerby, where tbey will msks more clear money in one moeth theo they have made in twelve moo lbs oa the jotton fsrm, 1 will be delighted eed will w leome the slurs If Oed shoes of those c elfish, usrrow minded men wio. because they own a few shores io some oottoo mill, or per hope hold sn office lo one, will shower upon my heed their bsrshest eprthsts I em slmost prspsred to ssy where ever there is a bank ie e Georgii town and do cotloo mill, the bank has Dot done ita duty. I will aay moat esophetieelly the bank has neglected a moot importaot opportunity for in creasing its own business andof every individual in its commu ?ity, from the largest me reboot to the nost insigni fleeet wsshsr woman or w;od choppsr For the proof of this assertion I hsve but to rsfsr yor to my own town. Mooioe, to Harmony Grove, to Jeeksoo, to Toocos, and to filber toe, la each of wbiob places pros? perous, dividend paying cotton mills beve been buHt under the supervision of offioers of tbe locsl bsnk, snd sre oow beins* opersted most successfully to tbe great good of tbs bsnk, snd for tbe benefit of every toeo, woman aad cbiiJ ie these towns Do aot uodetstsad ms lo ssy the books sre io partnership with the mills This is not true, and it would not be advissbls, hot tbe milla are i oeder tbe foetering cere of tbe books, ea officer of lbs bsnk being sn officer of the mill The mills need mooey to buy their sepply of cotton in the fsil sod winter, jaet wbsn tbe bsnks srs full of money. Tbey use tbe benk's money, say from November ootii Msy, snd psy it back in lime for the fsrmers to use it in msking their crops. Tbe cotloo is folly insured snd is held and owned uy lbs bank and is psid for before it is span by tbe mill. It is stored rrgbt st borne, not sll is one large wsrehoose subject to one fire, but io seversl warehouses holding from ooe to three hundred bsles, snd per hep* in?sheds in the mill yard, tinder the protection of eicellent weterworks. There is no belter peper or collstersl There is not s bsnker within my braving who hss atee* bis seek s letter paper tbsn tbe rote - I either of the cotton milla 1 bare mentioned, with a warehouse isceipt far cotlcn sttsched to it A ccsuiiy lark with s cotton satt) ttder Its csts nsed never bsve ?ii idle dollar Not so with a bank without a mill io its vicinity It **ade its money in October and November to ita city depository, where it remains without interest till the spring of the year Another gteet advantage to a country bank in hating a cotton mill in its care, is the fact that the stock owned by the oitizsns of the town and farmers near by affords such ex collect collateral Stock in any of the mills I have iucotioned, is as good collateral ass government bond. If there is in Georgia a village cot? ton mill which ander proper manage moot, aud has been kept up to dste io all modern improvements, whose stock is not worth par, I do dot know it Not so, howeveK with some of (he larger mills io toe cities, where high salaries, high taxes, labor unions stid tramp labor have rained their profits Wheo these advantages which the villages, hove over the cities io the manufacture of cotton become fully koowo and appreciated, the new mills will all be ioosted fo villages aod the country bank well prosper as never before Bat it is io the eoostraotion of the mill that the banker oao do the most good for his community, aod at the same time reaeh a rieb harvest for himself What eao he better for a soootry baok, with ooe of its effioers presideot of ao iooipieot cotton mill, than to bane io its asssts se7eral tboo j saad dollars of eubsoriptioo ootes for stoek to the mill oo whioh one-half, < r ooe third of the amooot has been paid ? How oobly the baok eao assist tbe struggling mill bv advaooiog tbo oasb oo aolveot subscription notes! With tbe aid of tbe looal baok, a mill oao be easily built io many a Georgia town wheo without snob aid a mill wiii be ao impossibility.

Not maoy weeks ago, a banker io a Georgia town suddeoly awoke to tbe fact that tbe maoufaeturiog towns arc.nod him were outstripping his owo towo, and determioed to build a oottoo mill He appealed io vaio to the ooly wealthy man io hia towo to subsoribe After exbaoitiof every srgumeot aod failing to move him to aotioo, be finally proposed to go to Mooroe to eee tbe new mill Tboy came.

AMORED TRAIN ENTERS A BOER TRAP AND SUFFERS HEAVILY. London, Nov 17 ?Misfortune steadfastly pursues British employ ment of armored trains, the fascina? tion for which has given the Boers their first and latest victories The British seemed to have walked into a deliberate trap, with the result that, ccording to the best accounts, 90 men sre either killed, wounded or missing. Of these the Fusiliers claim 50 and the Durban infantry 40. It is believed thst few escaped, and that the others sre prisoners in the hands of the Boers Many of the wounded were brought back ou the locomotive and tender of the armor? ed train Capt Haldane of the Gordon Highlanders was attached to the Fusiliers and other officers were ith them The list of casualties is awaited with great anxiety. In time of trouble Lieut Winston Churchill has proved himself more a soldier ihao a correspondent, and his gallaut ry is highly praised on all sides The rumor of the death of Geu. Joubert is discredited / It is understood that the war office has news that be is still directing af fairs It is also rumored from Picter Diaritzburg that the Boer losses at Lady smith Thursday were heavy, and in eluded Gen Lucas Meyer, who was either killed or wounded. The report as to Gen Joubert probabiy arose from the fact that his wife left the Boer camp at Ladysmith for the Free State The Cape Town correspondent of the Standard says he has heard lrom an old resident, who bss just left the Orange Free State, that the war is very unpopular there ; that, apart from the government officials, the attitude of the people who consider themselves bound to England, is very half hearted ; that disaffection and disobedience are spreading in the* ranks of the Free State troops, and that the burghers would welcome any pretext to return to their homes. Eitooort, Natal. Wednesday, Nov 15.?Ao armored train, having oo board a half company of the Durbao voluoteers and a half oornpaoy of the Dublin F?siliers. steamed to Cbieveley early this morotog. On its return it was abeiled by the artillery of tho Boers, placed in four positions Tito truoks io front of the engine left the rails, toppling over. While the train was tbos helpless the Durban* and Dublina faoed the Boers in skirmishing ordor nd the Boars poured shot and shell into the crippled train. Tbe derailed wagons were with great difficulty re moved, and the iioe was eleared, when the engine and tender steamed baok. During this jnnoture, Lieut Win? ston Cburchill of tbe Fourth Hussars, and son of tho late Lord Raodnlph Churchill, displaced muoh courage, as did also tbe driver aod fireman. It ia fsared tbe Dablios aod Durbans fsrsd badly. A Red Cross party baa gone out Nov 15 9 30 o m ? At 6 o'elook this evening the K?d Cross train re* turned. Dr Bristoe reported that on meeting the Boers' patrol be waa baited aod asked what be wanted. He replied that he had some with the train to re? move tbe killed and wounded The Boers told him to make hi? request in writing and Dr. Bristoe complied After waiting for two hours, another Boer came and informed Dr. Bristoe that, as Gen Joubert was very far away, no answer to the request oould be furnished UPtil tomorrow morning. The Boer said that if Dr. Bristoe would return with a white flag be oould oouot upon a reply from Geo Joubort. Dr. Bristoe inquired if there were many wounded He deolined to give any in formation regarding Lieut. Winston Cburebill. London, Nov 16?Speoial dispatches from Estoourt estimate the wounded aod missing of the armored train contingent at from 100 to 150 Tbe missing in oludes Capt. Haldane It is hoped that some esosned over tbe veldt aod will return to Euoourt in a few days. BIG FIGHT AT LADYSMITH.
