Is there any value in advertis-
ing? There is a man in Topeka,
Knn., who can affirm that it does.
He is running one of the daily
papers of that town for one" week
“as Christ would run it”—or
rather, as he supposes CliVisT
would run it. The paper has
never been known out. of the
(mmediate neighborhood of its
publication. The new editor has
_ had no experience, and knows took $500,000. Including tin
Easley mill, the total capitaliza-
tion for the year is $3,775,000,
nothing about, the management of
a newspaper. But his proposed
experiment was taken up by the
press and widely discussed by it.
The pulAHr"grew interested, and
overyb*uly wanted to read a paper
that was modeled on so unusual
a plan. Orders poured ih in such
overwhelming numbers that the
publisher of the Capital estimates
his profits for the week at $65,000.
Advertising did it.

As showing the rapidity with
which the people of the South
are taking advantage of opportu-
nitios to'be found in manufactur-
ing cotton in their own mills, the
following dispatches are repro-
duced. They were printed in the
^fews recently all the same day.
Tiicse and many more companies
are forming, besides those in Tex-
jis. They are bringing the cotton

Columbia, H. C.—Three-quar-
ters of a million dollars was pro-
jected in cotton mills ih this state
the past week* The Easley mill,
capitalized at $-200,000, was char-
tered Tuesday. The YVoodruff
mill of Spartanburg county and
the Croft mill of Aiken epunty,
each"capitalized at $250,000, were
organized and the Poe mill,
Greenville, increased its capital

Next week
Valdosta, Ga.—The Tillman
Cotton Mill Co. was organized
here yesterday witli a paid up
capital of $20,000. It will make
knit goods, and work on the fac-
tory will begin at once. A yarn
mill company with a capital stock
of $60,000 has been organized. It
will begin making yarn by Sept. 1.
Waynesboro, Ga.—A cotton
factory forthis town will be char-
tered this week. Fifty thousand
dollars of the proposed capital of
$100,000 lias been taken.
Griffin, Ga.—A cotton mill
company with a capital of $100,-

It is simply a realization of the
fact by the people, North and
South, that the only true business
way in which to carry On the
cotton industry is to have the
cotton patch, the cotton factory
and the cotton seed oil mill locat- v'
Cd in the same district. It isth^ji
only natural way. Tiro cities and 11,1

That the Orient offers n splen-
did market, for the consumption
of the southern products is evi-
denced by the fact that the Indi-
an Head Cotton Mills of Cordo-
va, Ala,, only a yeah old, have
received sufficient orders from
brokers in Hhaughai and other
Chinese ports to keep the mills in
operation for the next five years.
In consequence of this the mills
arc selling iiOnf* of their output
at home, but are slopping every
pound of their manufactured
product to Asiatic .cities.
