It is for tho farmers to organize compa nies to build and operate cotton factories. It is said the plan is LVVIU IU U jUl ilj , Ull-U till - ready companies havo , been formed in several counties. 1 Tho building ot mills by farmers alono will give opportunities for investing surplus- money, and will enable tho cotton growers to work up their own products. The Charleston News and Couri er says of the movement: "The plan as described is for the farmers in a certain district to subscribe money enough to build a mill. The mill is to use the cotton grown by its owners and will, therefore, be able to savo many hundreds of dollars on the pnee of the cotton alone, by gettiug it direct from the farmers. This will enable the farmer to gin his cotton and take it to the mill like so much hay; so escaping all expenses for baling it, , sampling, insurance commissions, pressing, etc. , .This muvement will attract at tention . no doubt : among the planters, and will follow in per haps all the States. Small mills pay well when. ..well managed There uro small mills in North Carolina that have paid the in vestors with good profits. We suppose mere are small -nuns now operating that pay not less than 8 or 10 per cent. The Bos ton Journal of Commerce noting this new Texas movement, thinks it must prove satisfactory, show- ng good returns in dividends, It says that the experiment , will be closely observed, "and if it proves as successful' as present ndications; seem to promise, there will probably be many more farmer mills running in the southern states before the end of 1900, The states of Geor- ia, South Carolina and North Carolina offer most excellent op portunities for such mills. - Oue hundred thousand dollars is all that is necessary for the starting of a first-class cotton mill, and one capitalized at that sum which obtained its cotton from its own ers could easily pay for itself in five years' time." .; '-v It may be really a new road to cotton planters' independence ot the men , who ?, have practically controlled the price of. cotton. his will supplement well the idea hitherto advanced for fac tories in counties to be equal to consuming the raw cotton pro duced in such counties. We gave from r tho Raleigh News and Observer a few days an ex; ample of a mill paying higher for cotton than the regular buy ers would pay -Wilmington Messenger. .

A representative will be sent to Paris to take charge of it. Hold on to Your Cotton. Nothing whatever has oc curred to change the statistical situation. There is a short crop in the South as the reports from all the seaboard and ' inland towns show, and there is a very short stock in Europe. If hold ers of spot cotton become panic- stricken and sacrifice their Hold ings, the loss will be theirs. To compel them to make this sacrifice is now the object of those who aie working in con ceit with the Liverpool ring. That this ring is very powerful is shown by tho unprecendented caper of the firm of speculators. wno nave aoue taeir utmost to upset the market by ' means of telegrams in which they give the lio to their own statements made only a week or two ago. - VVe do not hesitate to advise holders of cotton to 'hold on to it until necessity compels the Euro pean mills to pay a decent price for it.
