Herald of Aug. 1st. J& VicKSBUBG,Iis8 YJiily 28, 1881. Perhaps nq industry ever inaugiir a ted ia the j Soathem 8tat8 was more' rapidly developed than the mauufaeture of cotton yarns and coarge oods h& been ia . the past ten years, and the "boom" is Btili rolling on.r From Carolina to Texas the demand is far greater than the Btipply lor J&kflled labor; improved niadbinery And : more capital. The statistical reports of last year show the average annual dividend -of the prlnulmilli Bodth to b 22f per cent. The result is thai Eastern capital ia seeking Hob class of invest ment, t Southom, miUs on, a small scal Jiating, paid wU tbeir proprie tors desire to double their capacity. Accordingly in a great number of places new mills are being started. At Huntsville, Ala., for instance, a year since there was no sign of a mill. Now both a cotton factory and a cotton seed oil mill are being built there. The superintendent of the cotton mill comes from Rhode Island and invests his capital. With in the past six months an Ohio man has started the spindles humming at Tuscumbia. Ala., spinning yarns di rect from the seed cotton, and says he will make twenty five per cent on his investment the first year. A 5,000 spindle mill is being erected at Montgomery, the capital of the SLite. The Tuscaloosa, Ala., mills huve more orders than they can fill, and want to double their facilities. The Seiina, Ala., mills are a success, and others will shortly bo erected there. Huntsvillo is the handsom est, the most healthy aud one of the wealthiest cities in the State, and if poieiionceJ New England mauufac turers would go there they could en list $500,000 in factories. Arkansas has several successful factories which imve been built in the last few years. The largest and most successful are at Little Rock. Pine Bluff, Arkan sas, has a $200,000 cotton factory movement on foot, with more than one half the capital paid in. Fort Smith is building a -SlOO.OOO cotton seed mill. At lloyston, in Pike county, is the oldest will in the State. it pavK uanasomeiy ana tiie owners t . 1 1 1 1,1 are annous to enlarge it. Capital ists have just advertised at little Rock for bids to erect another mill there to contain 500,000 bricks. MAxrr .vcTrrBrso ix-teeestsi in geoboia Georgia, the Etnpire State of the South, is now and probably will con tinue to De tue leader m manufacto ries among the Southern States. At Columbus, upon the finest water power in the land, are now the larg est cotton mills in the South. Am oner tne enterprises there is a cor porauon wnicn nas grown irom one L ' 11 t little mill of $200,000 capital, in the past half dozen years, to a company of nve mills to-day, with a paid up cap ital $1,250,000, paying twenty per cent Other mills have been built up oiouna mem ana are euioyino' a T 1 , . successful career. Next to Colum bus comes Augusta, with her splen did canal water power. In 187U she declared a dividend of twenty-eisrht per cent on 5800, OOO invested m cot ton factories. What was the result? Since that time a company has been organized there with a capital of $1,000,000 to manufacture cotton goods, with privilege to increase its capital to 3,000.000. Another manufacturing company of the same city have increased their capital from $600,000 to $1,000,000. The mills at Macon are being enlarged. An other splendid factory is to be built at Atlanta, where there is one of the finejst in the South now. Dalton, Gra., has within the past year organ ized a movement, and a philanthro pist of Rome, Ga., told thef writer a short time since that he would start the Rome cotton frctory with a sub scription of $100,000. The Chatta hoochee mills at West Point, Oa., recently destroyed by fire, are rising Phsnix like from the ashes, and will soon be in operation again. Colum bus has the only bagging factory in the State, which makes ten mills in all in that city. The Enterprise mills of Georgia Lave recently doub led their capacity. There is the finest water power in the South in this State and room for more mills upon it 13at while Gaorgia enjoys this advantage Alabama can boast of the finest coal mines in the South, which supply all her factories of every kind with good coal at from $1 to $3.50 tir ton. DIVIDENDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. Xeit to Georgia comes South Car olina, and while the iormer are proud of the largest mil;s iu the South the latter can boast of having the small est cotton factor)', not only iu the South, but the smallest iu the United States. This manufactory, located at Westminster, S C, u not only the smallest factory in the country, but, according to its report, is the" most Iprontaole. lhe capital employed is hands. This spins cotton direct from the seed by a new process, and reports a profit of forty per cent Her largest and best mills built with in the past few years are paying twenty-one and twenty two per cent. The average dividend of all the miila in South Carolina is 22 per cent. The moat marked result of this is Thursday, that; within the past half year, sinee that report was published, a half million dollar cotton factory has been started at Charleston, $400,000 of the stock being already subscrib ed, much of it from Boston. One of the mills built this year is at Orange burg, S. C, and reports a profit of over, twenty per cent. A large man ufacturing company at Columbia, S. C, desire to doable their stock from $200,000 to $-100,000. A well known firm of Providence, R. I., are expending several million dollars in developing the grand water power of Columbia and expect to erect boy eral large mills on it. An extensive manufacturing company has just ben organized at Sumter, S. C, and thecompMiy have ordered improved machinery from Lowell. Mass." Gaff ney: City, S C, is a new town, yot they have subscribed 840,000 for a factory there. North Carolina is making rapid strides iu the line of factories. The manufacturing company in operation at Graham, N. C, are building a new mill; to be called the Glencoa A few years ago the falling waters of the Little North River flowing through Gaston county; N. C, rolled on uninterrupted through that beau tif ul valley, their roar making the only music that fell upon the ear of the honest farmer. Now, within a radius of seven miles and in the triangle4 or three railroads, those same waters are utilized to make thousands of spindles hum, and the six cotton factories nre all prosper ous, making from fifteen to twenty per cent upon their investment Ten thousand spindles began to Ring in a beaatiful new mill at Charlotte, N. C, early the past spring. All the machinery embraces . the very latest improved, and it is really a thing of beauty. A much larger mill is be ing built near the same city. SXGBO FACTOBV LA BOB A FAILURE. Louisiana is increasing her facto riea. Unlike the other Southern States, she builds only large mills. The mills in New Orleans have proven so successful and profitable that others are being built in the crescent City. Lately $300,000 has been sub scribed and the work begun on a new mill in the city, to contain 10,000 spiunles and 300 looms. Louisiana tried the experiment of negro labor m cotton mills. The State built a mill at Baton Rouge to employ con net labor, and mads a signal failure, so lar ai tne colored labor was con cerned, but she found ready hands to take tho mill and operate it with white labor. No colored labor is employed in cotton mills that I know of at all. Mississippi is moving extensively in developing her manufacturing m terests. The history of her Wesson Cotton Milis has been profitable to her. Starting with one mill and $300,000 capital only a few years since, her good3 took a premium at the Centennial Exhibition. Another mill was built and the stock doubled xortune stnl smiled upon her and prosperity crowned the work. About thirty per cent was made, and then another mill was built and the stock increased to about $1,000,000. The president of the company last allud ea to says it is tne Dest paying in vestment of his life. In May, 1378, the sound of the steam whistle and the clash of the shuttle announced to the people of Natchez that a cotton factory was in operation there, and the people gathered around to see it start. One year proved to be a pay ing enterprise, and at once the foun dation stone of the second mill for Natchez was laid, and it is now abtut completed. So successful are some of the principal mills that they are lighted with electricity and run a night set of bands. This speaks well for Southern enterprise. Some of the larger mills use 6 team power. Many of the mills have more orders than they can fill. The new mill building at Corinth has been bought by a new company, and will soon commence business. PROGRESS IK MISSISSIPPI. At Vicksburg, the largest city in tne State, a large cotton factory movement is on foot Nearly $200, 000 has been subscribed in the city, and it is expected to raise as much more East and have the Eastern stockholders take the management, build, equip and operate it. Colum bus, Miss., has a new cotton seed oil mill, and is raising stock for a cot ton factory. If she would do so and convert the 30,000 bales of cotton she handles by spinning into yarns, instead of gotting a million and a hali dollars for her crop, she would realize $2,700,000 for it as thread. A New Orleans company is starting a large mill at Canton, Miss. At Water Valley the machinery has arrived for a Bmall mill, and to be enlarged if successful. Mississippi takes the palm for lino cotton. The Vicksburg mill for instance, will use a staple one and three eighths inches long, buying direct from the planters' wagon, will save all incidental expenses and will secure a year's supply of cotton in getting the crop of a few planters around the city. Many of these mills are specially exempt from ail taxes. lennessee, though not as large a cotton raising State as the three just south of her, is yet increasing her cotton manufactories. One of the largest mills in the. South is lo cated at Nashville and a dividend of fourteen per cent was sufficient in ducement to build another. The mills at Pulaski, Tenu., have a specialty and are so everrun with orders that they are anxious to' double their ca pacity. At Jackson, in West Tennes see, the people intend erecting a cot ton factory, and they have already about $50,000 subscribed for that purpose. The Lone Star State has but re cently awakened to th importance of spinning sorno of her own vast cot ton crop, and it is not unlikely that several factories wid be erected, out mere soon. Already a numbr of small thread mills are in emccessfnl operation at Columbus land' other towns. Houston has & fine opening f er the right xnaff.Te"tcung and machinery are already on the ground, and there is needed only a guiding head with enough capital te put'lt in order. Dallas is inaugurating a $200,000 factory, and Sherman wants a $75,000 one. - bouthkbn AnvairrAorB.' ,f When the Northern people read such evidences as these they must re alize the vast growth of this industry in the South; but wten they gbjoVjulh themselves, no matter in what.State they may travel, they will see" such further evidences as will lead then) to exclaim, as did the Queen of Sheba on beholding the glory -, of Solomon, "The half has not been told 1" .The chief advantage in the South ia in getting cotton cheap. The .cost of getting a bale of cotton from the field in the South to the mill in the East is 87 per bale, which aggregates 13 per cent, which is 2 per cent more than the annual average dividend paid by forty of the principal mills of New England. : Agavn, while the IToi-thet n mill works ten hours a dav-sixtv hours a week many pf the Southern mills wort seventy-seven and. some eighty four hours a week. ' The cost of living is less South than East; Audi certainly when the Southern jpeople prove their friendly profession by their works and put their capital into tne hands of those they invite to co operate with them none can question their good faith. Cotton may still be king in the South, but his domin ion is no longer confined to the broad and undulating prairies lifting their snowy oosoms to tne warm summer sun; for the hum of the spindle and the clash of the shuttle are now heard in many cities and valleys. The peo pie are accordingly oegnning to re alize that one hand in the factory is equal to iour in the held, and as they gradually learn by experience the profits to be secured in the factory an oi their idle capital will be invest ed m manufacturing cotton goods, A DIABOLICAL FOBGESY. A Richmond Young Lady for 3300. Betrayed Richmond Dispatch. It is a subject of regret to the writer of this record of a most dia ooucai crime that events, have so transpired that pubhp mention must be made of the cruel betrayal of one of Richmond's noblest and fairest daughters. The victim of this nara- tive has suffered all that mortal is capable of, and the publication of the subtle means by which a fiend has withered the Efe of a beautiful and innocent character will give it the only slender earthly consolation that remains the sympathy of the entire community while it will furnish to the unsuspecting an ex ample to keep them on their guard against adventurous impostors. A Richmond young lady has been foully betrayed into marriage -with a wretch in the shape of a man, who under lying pretences and forged papers of reference and mtroduction has made her his wife simply to gain position wnereoy he negotiated a draft for $800 To think of an in nocent, confiding girl sacrificed by a- demon of mammon ia a thought as incomprehensible as it is appalling. Why a Cannibal may slay his fellow; man to feast upon his carcas or why a savage might kill an enemy from, a spirit of revenge and hatred, or a semi-savage take a human life to rob it of great wealth, are considers tions that can be readily understood. riut lor a man, ; to ; all ' purposes seemingly intelligent, to sacrrace a noble and heroic girl solely for the comparatively insignificant sum of $800 is so horribly atrocious that reason "naust single it out as nothing less than the machination of an in fernal one. To give an intelligent and' con nected history of the manner in which the betrayal was accomplished it will be well to reproduce an ar ticle which appeared in the Dispatch of the 23d ult, of which . the present sad story and recent startling re vela tion is the sequel. It is the follow ing truthful narration of ' BICHMOND ROMANCE A WESTEBN WIDOWER IN SEEKING A GOVEBNBSS SECURES A CHARMING WIFE THIS CITY.

When- the terrible reality forced itself upon'her friends here a lady of the family" started at once to join and befriend the unfortunate one in her learf ul position. On the follow ing day, Wednesday last a gentle man relative, haying gained sumcient infoi-mation to act intelligibly, started on the same mission. ... The first ! mtelhgence of their whereabouts' since their ' departure was gleaned from the telegrams of inquiry about the accident and the bank officers who had . already set detectives , iq work upon the case, telegraph'ed to Albion to have " Mar vin arrested.
