Southern. Cotton Mill Man Looka for
''BetteT-Tinm1 ' -
: Sunday's New York Sun contained
ttie 'followinef'.-'; -rZ,i--..
L. W. Brander, who is a manufact
urer of table damask and-mercerised
mills of the feonth had been suffering
from poor business; he thought there-
were evidences of a ' coming - revival, ;
though, it hadn't got to the point
where the mills had begun to benefit.
" There are twelve: cotton malls in
Concord, ' ': said ; Mr. Brander, "and
one of them is the largest towel manu
facturing plant in ,the world. No col
ored labor is employed, for the reason
that experiments -m that direction
ifpoved unsatisfactory. . We get our
best labor from the mountain districts
of North Carolina. ; . . .
"The South is " supplanting (New
England in the manufacture of coarse
cotton goods, and it is not because
Northern capital has come in and ta
ken nold for local people have taken
up the industry. The farmers of the
State have made a great deal of money
in, the last few years,ibut what they
have acquired has not begun to seek
the usual channels' of; business as yet,
since it is being used to pay on mort
gages and to buy -more- land. ! The
Southern farmer is now employing
more Scientific methods than ever be
fore, and now -practices rotation of
crops. I think that the increased pro
duction of . cotton that is bound to
corns in the South will, ; be from
raising more cotton to the acre rather
than front increased acreage." , - .

- Mr. Hutehins made, a most appro
priate .Halk on the words, "For we
knew that all things work together

was a message of comfort io tbe un

in a plain, forceful and direct way that

Mr. Jesse Earnhardt led in an earnest
prayer; and after a song was sung the

nave improved things wonderfully
there, nd they . would do still greater
things jf the county authorities would
place ' jjhe means at thier command.
The buildings need whitewashine, and
this would not only add immensely to
their appearance but. would do much
towardcleanliness and the promotion
of better health for the inmates. '
