to keep* tbfir mooey oot of cottoo
millo, that there ore olreody too
mooy \o Iba country, those now
toaoiag do not pay ood often timeo

1 am thankful I do not belong to
this Claas of croakers I om one of
those wbo believe every bole of
oottoa produced io Georgia oboold

Georgia, or io the Booth, oo loog oo

Now Eeffaad or aoroao tba woter.
1 am tired of sssing oar formero tell
tbeir cottoo ot $26 per bole to
foreign meuu'ecturer* ood boy it
back io ito uBsnofactored etote ot
froea $60 to $75, the difference
between tba price received?and prioe
paid boviog gooe to poy freight, to
eahob foreign manufacturer* add to
food ood clothe the poor of other
ooontriee, while oar worthy poor
people ore left to opend their lives in
misery ood wool. A oobls old
Georgien, who boo made o large
fortune by manufacturing cottoo, seid
a few doys ogo, sa several hoodred
of bis operative? were poaeing out of
bis mill : "1 eojoy feeding and cloth
log tbeea poor people more theo 1
enjoy all tba mooey I've mods "
If by wbot 1 aboil soy here todoy
I aaa aroaee one deed, oleepy towo
to sotioo ; if I aaa oaaaa one booeot
i Georgia widow witb ber belpleoa
children to leave the cotton field,
where tbey are aol making expenaea,
aad move to a oow ootton mill to be
bailt io bar county town ; to move
from tbe old dilspidsled csbio io the
ooaatry to rhs oaw, white oottoge io
aaa mill village aearby, where tbey
will moke more clear money in oos
moetb theo tbey have mode io twelve
moaiba oo tba jotton form, I will be
delighted and will w leome the oioro

minded men wio. beoaooe tbey owo
a few obarsa in soma cotton mill, or
parbops bold so office Io one, will
sbower opoo my bead tbeir borsheet
eprtheie
I am slmost prspared to ooy where
ever tbere is s bask io a Georgio
towo oad oo cotton mill, tbe bank boo
not done its doty. I will say moat
emphatically tbe b?nk has neglected
a moat important opportunity for in
creasing ito owo busioees eodof every
iadividool in its oommo iity, from tbe
largest msr^boot to the r*iost insigni
fioeot waaber woman or wood chopper
For tba proof of tbie oeaertion I
bova but to refer yon to my owo
town, Mootoe, to Harmony Grove,
to Jacksoo, to Tssaoa, ond to Elber
too, la each of which placea pros
peroua, dividend paying cottoo mills
bove been buHt under the aopervision
of offloers of tbe loco) bank, aod are
oow betas* operated most succeeofully
to tbe great good of the bank, ood
for tbe benefit of every wao, woman
aad cbiiJ in tbeea to woe
Do oot undetataod me to eay the
books ars io partnership witb the
mills Tbis is oot tros, snd it would
oot ba advisable, bot tba millo ore
? under tba foalering core of tbe books,
sa officer of tbe book being on officer
of the mill
Tba mills need mooey to buy tbeir
sapply of cottoo io tbe foil aod wioter,
jaat when tbe banks are full of
mooey. They uae tbe book's money,
ooy from November uotii May, ond
poy it bock in time for the fermereto
asa it io making their crope. Tbe
cottoo io folly iosored ood is hsld snd
owned 'uy lbs bsnk aod is paid for
before it is spun by the mill. It io
storsd rrght at borne, not all ia one
Isrga warebooae aobject to one fire,
but io eeveral warehouse* holding
from ooe to three huodred bales, and
perbape in.sheds in the mill yard,
tinder tbe protection of eicellent
waterworka. There ia no belter
peper or collateral There is not o
banker within my bearing who lias
eWj? bis vault a letter paper than the
nwteof either of the cotton millo 1
bovs meotitind, with o worehouee
iscsipt fsr rotten sltached to it
A ccsoiiy lark with o cotton
aaitt stder its csts need oever bove
?ii idle dollar Not so with a bank
without s> mill in its vicinity It
sende its money in October and
November to its city depository,
where it remaios without interest till
tbe spring of the year
Another gleet advantage to a
country bank in having a cotton mill
in its care, is lbs faot that the stock
owned by tbe oitizane of tbe towo
and farmers near by affords euch ex
cellent collateral Stock in any of
the mills I have u*?otioned, is as
good collateral as a gove-nment bond.
If tbere ia io Georgia a village cot?
ton mill which ander proper manage
ment, aud has bssn kept up to date
in sll modern improvements, whoee
stock io oot worth por, I do dot know
It Not so, however^ witb some of
tbe larger millo io tbe cities, where
high oslsriee. higb taxea, Isbor unions
snd tramp Isbor hsve roined tbeir
profits When tbsss advantages
wbiob ths villages, bsvs over tbe
cities in tbe manufacture of cotton
become fully koown snd appreciated,
tbe new mills will sll be ioosted fo
villsges snd tbe country bank well
proeper os oever before
Bot it ia io the oooatrootioo of the
mill that the backer oao do tbe moat
good for bia community, aod at tbe
same time reaeh a rieh harvest for
bimaslf What eao be better for a
ooootry baok, with ooe of its effioera
praaideot of ao ioeipieot ootton mill,
I ban to bars io its asssts several tboo
aaod dollars of sobsoriptioo notes for
stock io tbe mill on wbiob one-half, <r
ooe third of tba amount baa been paid ?
How oobly the bank eao assist tbe
straggling mill by adveooiog the oasb
oo solvaot subscription notes! Witb
tbs aid of tbe looal baok, a milt oao be
easily; built io maoy a Georgia towo
wheo witboot aoob aid a mill will be
so impossibility
To those preaeot wbo are iotereated
io tbo upbuilding of their towns I
would aay, aeieot tbe very beat man io
your community aod aothorise him to
say to your people that tbo book will
advanae tbe money at a low rate of
toteres: oo tbair sobsoripliooa to a mill
after ooe third has been paid. You
will be aorpriaed to aee how oobly tbey
will rsspood.
Not maoy weeka ago, a baoker io a
Georgia towo aoddeoly awoke to tbe
faet that tba maoofaotoriog towns
art.nod him were outstripping bia owo
tnwo, and determioed to build a ootton
mill Ha appealed in vain to the ooly
wealthy mao in bia towo to subscribe
After exbaustiof avsry argomeot aod
failiog to move bim to aotioo, be finally
proposed to go to Mooroe to see tbe
oew mill Tbo; oame. The doubting
Tbomas was convinced ; be eubseribed
$15,000 to tbe new mill ; others fol
lowed io qoiek suooessioo, aod tbe
amount oeeded waa soon rsised Tbe
mill is oow orgaoissd aod tbe mao
referred to ia its enthusiastic vice presi

If you are abaritably inclined aod

busioess iovestmaota, bow better eould
you set tbao by gatbariog aaveral

If you baloog to that class wbo believe
oil tbe ilia of tbe ooootry are doe to the
over pro J notion of oottoo, wby oot
show yoor faith by yoor worka and
take from the fields several baodred
laborers aod pot tbsm to maoofaotoriog

A oottoo mill with ooa baodred

eoosist of say fifteen meo, tweoty five

than 300 balaa of oottoo worth $7,500.
wbile io tbe mill tbe valoe of tbeir

Another Boer Victory.
AMORED TRAIN ENTERS
A BOER TRAP AND
SUFFERS HEAVILY.
London, Nov 17 ?Misfortune
steadfastly pursues British employ
meot of armored trains, the fascina?
tion for which has given tbe Boers
their first and latest victories The
British seemed to have walked into a
deliberate trap, with the result that,
according to the best accounts, 90
men are either killed, wounded or
missing. Of these the Fusiliers
claim 50 snd the Durban infantry 40.
It is believed that few escaped, and
that the others are prisoners in the
hands of the Boers Many of the
wounded were brought back ou the
locomotive and tender of the armor?
ed train Cant Haldane of the
Gordon Highlanders was attached to
the Fusiliers and other officers were
with them The list of casualties is
awaited with great anxiety. In time
of trouble Lieut Winston Churchill
has proved himself more a soldier
thso a correspondent, and his gallant?
ry is highly praised on all sides
Tbe 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 Pinter
Oiaritzburg 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 Ladysmitb for tbe Free
State
The Cape Town correspondent of
the Standard says he has heard from
an old resident, who has just left the
Orange Free State, that the war is
very unpopular tbere ; 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, Natsl, Wednesday, Not
15.?Ao armored train, having oo
board a half company of tbe Durban
voluoteere aod a balf company of the
Doblio Fusiliers, steamed to Cbieveley
esrly this morning. On its return it
was shelled by tbe artillery of tbo B<jers,
plaoed io four positions Two trucks
io front of the engioe left the rsils,
toppling over. While the traio was
tbos helpless the Durban* aod Dublioa
faoed tbe Boers io skirmishing ordor
od the Boers poured shot aod shell
into the orippled traio. Tbe derailed
wagooa were witb great diffiooity re
moved, ood the iioe was cleared, wbeo
tbe eogioe and tender steamed baok.
Duriog this juncture, Lieut Win
atoo Churchill of tbe Foorth Hossara,
aod soo of the late Lord Randolph
Chorobill. displayed much oourage, as
did also tbe driver and fireman.
It is fssred tbe Dablioe aod Durbana
fared badly.
A Red Cross party bss gone oot
Nov 15 9 30 o m ? At 6 o'olook
this evsoiog the H?d Cross traio re
toroed. Dr Bristoe reported that oo
meetiog the Boers* patrol he was baited
aod aekrd what be wanted. He replied
that be bad some with the traio to re?
move tbe killed aod wouoded The
Boers told bim to make hi? request io
writing aod Dr. Bristoe complied
After waiting for two boors, another
Boer came aod ioformed Dr. Bristoe
that, as Geo Joubert was very far
away, oo answer to the request could
be furnished optil tomorrow morning.
Tbe Boer said that if Dr. Bristoe would
return with a white flag be oould count
opoo a reply from Geo Joubert. Dr.
Bristoe inquired if there were many
woooded He deolioed to give aoy in?
formation regarding Lieut Wiostoo
Chorobill.
London, Nov 16?Speoial dispatches
from Eatooort estimate the woooded aod
misaiog of the armored traio contingent
at from 100 to 150 Tbe missing in
oludea Capt. Haldane It is hoped that
some esosped over tbe veldt aod will
retoro to E^tcourt in a few days.
