one I refer to served its purpose.
Our letters came from school

Since we became owner and !
proprietor of Thb Union, three
years ago, we have labored
hard and earnestly for the bet-
termont of the county and the
up-building of the town, and
must say that a good deal has
been done without reward or
hope of reward. We have la
bored for all alike, our friends
and our foes. The .newspaper
is an index to the life of any
town, and through it manv
customers and friends are made
for the town in which it is pub
lished, and just .why 'many busi

efforts of their local paper to do
good, we are unable to under
stand. Certainly it can't 1k3 a
lack of home pride for men void

not to be counted thus. We

Cure for Lockjaw-
To the Editor of The Atlanta

I have noticed several deaths

from
have
a nail stuck in the foot. I
olten thought 1 would tell the
public of a seemingly strange
remedy, j Several! years ago I
had in my service a girl who
stuck, a nail in her foot. It was
very much swollen and I knew
nothing to do. Some bnej told
her to smoke the wound iwith
yarn. Ijhad no faith whatever.
My father being a physician,
I had been, taught to look on
such a thing as ridiculous.
Simply to please her I go( the
yarn and; after burning it blew
the blaze! out . and smoked the
wound. Well, while I held the
smoke she would say she fe!lt it
drawing.; To my surprise the
swelling was gone next morning
and there was no more trouble.
I usetl it on another occasion
and the wound gave no trouble.
In this case they also complain
ed of "thcr "drawing sensation."
I think the press would do a
kindness to copy jthis remedy
extensively. It may Ve the
means of relieving jsome suffer
ing mortal. I! ask every one
who may ihave occasion hot to
fail to use this remedy. It will
be impossible to find one with
less faith than myself before I
used it.

The Bright Manufacturing Out
look in the South
Mr. Samuel C. Martin, a
prominent cotton merchant of
South Carolina, was in the city
yesterday, stopping at the Met
ropolitan. Mr. Martin is en
thusiastic over the manufactur
ing outlook in the South. When
seen by a Post reporter, ho
said :
"The State of South Carolina
tops all the States in the South
in the cotton manufacturing in
dustry. There arc 1 more spin
dles in this State in operation
this year than in uiy of the.
others. North Carolina stands
second in the list while Georgia
runs third. South Carolina has
54 mills running to-day, opera
ting in all nearly 1,000,000 spin
dles, and consuming yearly
148,7(57,042 pounds of cotton.'
South Carolina's cotton crop
this year will be, in round num
bers ,"800,000. bales, of which
the homo mills will consume
327,643 bales, or about 40 per
cent, of the entire crop. North
Carolina has 150 mills at pres
ent, but the number of spindles
is not so large as South Carol i- .
na's.
"Yen few people have any
idea of the enormous business
done in the South in this partic
ular industry. This year it is
estimated that! there are 375
mills in operation in the South
ern States, having 3,107,5-15
spindles antl using nearly-181,-000,000
pounds of cotton. That
the industry is not yet full .
grown is apparent from the fact
that last year there were but 352
mills, operating 2,770,282 spin
dles. And thcrq are many more
mills in course ;of erection."
