ABOUT 3IOUTC1AGI3S, The Concord Times gives some pertinent and timely advice on the subject of giving mortgages, which it would be well to read and ponder over. It says : An examination of the Register's books of this county will show that there are a great many chattel mort gages and many mortgages covering the farms and homes of the fanners. A further examination will show that, though last year was a lair average , crop year, very few of these mortgages, especially the real estate mortgages, have been cancelled. A still further examination will show that' many mortgages have been recently made. t wjll be a deplorable state of affairs for the farmers of the coun try to be shingled over with mortgages. It will destroy the independence and paraly.e the energy of the people, U is hard to get rid of a mortgage. A mortgage of $500 means a bale of cot ton to pay the interest. With many miking a mortgage is only postponing the evil day. It often happens that the mortgager will work for several years, and all his surplus has to go to pay the interest. He is simply work ing for his creditor. He gives up in despair, and his home is advertised for sale ; in proof of which look at the newspapers all over the country and see how many farms are advertised for sale. It is dangerous to make a mortgage. If a crisis in money matters should come many of the farms will be sold. Your families will be houseless and homeless. If you are in debt you had better sell a art of your land than encumber it all. Don't make a mortgage it it. is possi ble to avoid it. Let ft be the last re ort to save honor and integrity. If you do make it, it will cost you many a sleepless niiiht. ray your debts Dy all means after you have made them, but, deny yourself, sell . something, nan of the land if need be. Make a mortgage of your home only sheer necessity. Subject general lrcm 1! ABOUT MANUFACTURES. North Carolina seems to lie on a lDorn in one respect at least the build ing of manufactories. From one end of the State to the other this spirit is noticeable, especially in the Piedmont section. The Ciastonia Qazettc says pn the subject : It is gratifying to hear of so many factories in construction and in pros pect thoughout the State. Manufac turing is the consummation the South has been so devoutly wishing for, and it looks now like we are to have a vast increase in that line very soon. There is hardly a town of any size where the question of building a cotton-factory is not acitated. Other branches of manufacturing are gradually develop ing, but cotton is the. raw material we have in the greatest abundance, and we consume the product in great quantities, and it commands the greatest amount of attention. Occa sionally some one cautions our peo ple against engaging in an enterprise jn which they say wev cannot compete with New England, but arguments to his effect will have but little influence when contradicted by such remarka ble success in all parts qf the South. We shall doubtless hear the buzz of Epindlesin Gaston ia before Santa Claus returns. Charlotte has one successful factory and two others considered cer tain within the present year. Rock Hill is not satisfied with, one prosper ous factory, but demands another at once. King's Mountain has caught the fever, and Dallas is unwilling to be putdone. Gaston county now has ght successful cotton-factors and ora far many more, Under this heading the Chattanooga Tradesman has the following and we respectfully commend its careful perusal to every citizen and business man of Henderson, The Tradesman says : People in the Eastern states often wander at the rapid development and growth of Western cities. They can not understand it. In the older cities every man is on the lookout for his own personal interests, but in the West he must do the talking for his own town. If he does not have faith he must talk until it conges to In the recent work to establish a ing house here the board of rooms presented the appearance political headquarters where prominent candidates were neck and neck lor some important office. Among the advocates of the enterprise is required a long pull, a strong pull and a pull all together, and that is exactly the way they pulled. In speaking further upon this an observant exchange says : We .use the word loyal in a sense as pertaining to the country, but it is applicable to almost every phase of life. We may be loyal to our coun try, to our wives and lovers, and we can be loyal to each other in our busi ness relations. The greatness of our country, the happiness of a people and the success in our business relations all depend upon the loyalty of the indi viduals. Upon our loyalty to our town de pends its growth and prosperity. Each city and hamlet has its advantages. A loyalty to those advantages is its life. First, we must in our tradition and buying patronize those trades and business in our city instead of going to neighboring or distant towns. We are obliged to do this, because if our fellow citizen is doing his duty by us he is patronising us in our business or calling. If the clothing merchant goes to another city for hjs stoves, the hard ware man is justified in going to. the other town for his dry goods. Should such things become general in' any one town the dissolution of the town is not far off. In no other business in a city more than in the newspaper and printing business does this disloyalty show it- selt, and no other business m the city can be or is more loyal to the town than the newspaper or printing office Should a newspaper for even a short time ignore the interests of the city in which it is published, a cry and a complaint would go up from every hand. If we will for a moment stop to consider the injustice we are doing when we are going off to another to purchase our comforts and necessities: if we will consider that we are disloyal to those that have joined with us to build up a community, we will not do so unjust and disloyal an act. We be come traitors to those who are loyal to us and to whom we are under obli gations to trade and traffic. . There is another form of disloyalty to a city which more quickly and cer tainly saps its prosperity and retards its growth, that is, to live in one City and have interests in another. This is keenly felt when these cities are rival towns. Choose ye whom you will serve, for ye cannot, serve both. Each individual has a right to trans fer his allegiance from one community to another, but it is his duty to. let all parties concerned know just where it belongs. A man who lives m a town for no other purpose than to suck from that town his wealth and his fatness, and all his wealth goes to benefit some e ther and perhaps rival town, is worse then a traitor. He is a vampire which, while sucking the blood of its victim, soothes its wounds. He cov ers up his acts . with words of loyalty, while in his heart he is working lor some otner city anu will sacri fice the one to the other and the busi ness men of the one to the benefit of the other. Senator Ransom made a fjve minutes speech in the Senate the other day, and as such a thing is of very rare oc currence, it has been published far and wieie in all the Sjate papers. Coneotd WORTH!
