WANT OF CO-OPERATION.
A gentleman who came to
Washington some years ago and
is now thoronghly identified
with our interest, said: "Wheu
I first came to your town the
first thing that struck me forci
bly was the many natural ad
vantages surrounding the place
and the observance of a varied
manufacturing interest. Ever
since that time I have been care
fully studying the situation co
see if I could not find the caus-'
and awaken an interest m the
remedy. I believe after wait
ing these many years I have
found the cause and am now
able to suggest the remedy.
When I first made your little
city my home and asked the ques
tion which I frequently did, wh
had not the town embarked in
manufactures? I was told th
people thoroughly believed in
manufactures, and believed one
or two cotton factories would be
followed by great results, but
the people simply did not have
the necessary capital, and un
less outside capital could be in
duced to invest in a cotton plant
the building of a cotton mill
was just simply impossible. A
the first I admit I was struck
with the force of this argument
and believed it true, but since 1
have been a resident of the town
and seen the large number ol
buildings for rent erected (and
by the way many of them are
vacant now) by individual capi
tal. I am convinced the absence
of a cotton factory is not by rea
son of the lack of iunds, but
from the want of co-operation,
and if the amount of money tha
has been invested in tenament

nouses which are not now pay
ing a sufficient sum to keep them
in repairs, had been invested in
a stock company to build a cot
ton factory, we would today have
a factory second to none in the
State, the business of our mer
chants would have increased,
and instead f the whole com
munity crying hard times we
would be rejoicing in renewed
prosperity. So you cm see
from the above that I have come
to the conclusion that it is not
for the want of funds that Wash
ington has not taken her place
among the great manufacturing
centres of the State, but the
whole cause is because our peo
ple refuse to co operate and pool
We -have just been highly, and
we hope, profitably entertained
by the reading of a neat little
volume lately issued from the
presses of the Southern Method
ist Publishing House, Nashville,
Tenn., called "Spiritual Life,''
by the Rev. L. L. Nash D. D.,
and an introduction by Bishop
Fitzgerald. The author divides
his subject into twelve chapters
beginning with a description oS
Man's Spiritual Sphere, and
step by step takes his reader
along the path of true Christian
experience until the end is ac
complished and the saint enjoys
the full fruition of the Spirituai
life in the resurrection state,
and closes with a thrilling des
criptionof the Millennium period
which js alone worth the price
of the book. So impressed are
we with the merits of this work
and knowing the author inti
mately as we do in this day of
false doctrine and error, we be
lieve this book should not only
be in the hands of every ad
vanced Sunday school scholar,
but every one who is seeking a
higher Christian living. The
venerable Dr. Kingsbury, editor
of the Wilmington Messenger,
u refering to this book says in
part:
"Bishop Fitzgerald, a pious
and able man, and formerly a
git'ted and distinguished journ
alist, a native of oar State urn.
most worthy every way, intro
daces the little volume in words
of decided approval which are
worth more, because better, than
anythiug we might say. We
quote a few sentences: "These
twelve chapters are written in
good, strong English style.
The spirit of the writer is rev
erent and earnest his buoy
ant faith uplifts the faith of the
reader. I can and do hereby
commend it to the reading
Christian public as worthy ol
their friendly consideration.
Its spiritual suggestion and
stimulation will not be small to
him who reads thoughtfully and
prayerfully.
The price of the book is $1.00
which can be ordered from au-
Lheir money.'' We admit this I thor, whose postoffice address is
