HOW SOUTHERN FACTORIES
PAY
The president of the Graniteville
Cotton Manufacturing Company at
Augusta Ua. submitted a report at the
annual meeting which rmutt prove to
-all who have at heart the success of
manufacturing enterprises in the South.
The OranitevUle And Vancluse facto-
ries are under the management of the
Graniteville - Cotton ' Manufacturing
Company with an aggregate of 34064
spindles and 880 looms. The product
. of goods for the year ending March 1st
last was in pounds 46t96G3 and
in yards. 1830309 in which 12383
bales of cotton averaging 450 pounds
to the bale were consumed. ' ' The pro-
fits were $137190 and the expenses
including insurance taxes ; schools
churches interest -tire.- $46383 leav-
ing a net profit of nearly $91000 be-
ing a net earning of over 15 per cenjb.
on the entire capital stock. ' .Of this
$48600 or 8 per cent. was paid in
dividends and the balance 43000
carried to the surplus fund which now
Aggregates $168543. ..The loss.of run
sing time during the entire year was
only 10 days and this was on account
of low water. The requisite machine-
ry'has been introduced in the Vancluse
mill for making and printing flour
sacks and other kinds of bags out of
cloth manufactured in the mill and
the president says the experiment has
proved a complete success giving good
promise of becoming a valuable source
of profit and an important market for
the consumption of a largo portion of
the products of the mill. ff f f '?
Tfee'ttttention of southern people iS
called to the items above that i from
12303 .bales of ; cotton the market'
value of which is say $50000 there
was manufactured $137196 worth of
cloth or nearly three times more' than
raw cotton sells for. Suppose we had
the mills and the machinery to turn
all our cotton into cloth! Our annual
recipts from that source would amount
up to ten or twelve hundred million
instead of three or four hundred as is
now the cose. We would quickly be;
come the wealthiest and the mostin de-
pendent people on the whole face of
the earth. . . V ' ;' '- "
There is a feeling abroad all ' pver
the South to establish and to encourage
their growth. j They are springing up
all over the South Atlantic States.
Let us give them a unanimous welcome
And yea more than that; let us put
our surplus capital into manufactories
They pay better than anything else
directly in 15 and 20 percent dividend?
and indirectly in keeping our money
at home. We will in the next five
years have all the railways we ; want.
The next grand move will be in the
above direction. - f ' t '
THE COTTON CROP OF 1881.
The Planter's- Journal.. Vicksburg
publication has the following about
the present cotton crop: '
"The season has been thus far most
propitious for the growth of our great
staple. It is also far advanced and
our reports are so accurate that it is
well assured what the extent 'df the
crop will be. Many persons estimate
it at'neirly 7000000 bales and this
furnishes a text on : which though it
be futile to discourse yet it may serve
to teach a lesson of wisdom and com-
mon sense on the part of our planters
in the future. Mr. F. C. .Morehead
president of the National Cotton
Tlanters' Association Col. KUlebrew
and many others who have given the
question much study have stated as a
warning that the crop of this size
means impoverishment and ruin to
cotton-growers. Edward ; Atkinson
and other writers of note have shown
trprv nWvlv that an excessive pruduc-
tion of the staple causes a lessening of
- . . . . i t
the prices tor best grades ana almost
total rejection of inferior qualities."

How to Utt a Certificate.
Andrew Jackson Davis along-haired
reformer of New York is tryiug ttfget
a law passed thut will raise the very old
Harry. He with other lunatics me-
moralizeR the Legislature to prevent
the continuance cf "the present un-
scientific and vicious system by which
any two of the opposite sox however
ignorant or however diseased and how-
ever incapacitated for the renponsibili-
ties of parentage may obtain the sanc-
tion of priest or squire to consummate
what should be deemed the most holy
and delicate of all relations known to
human nature." Then they ask the
Legislature to provide for the appoint-
ment of a Board of Commissioner of
Hygiene Morality and Beneficence to
consist of an equal number of ethically
and medically educated men and wo-
men who shall have power to investi-
gate the antecedents of the individual
and shall examine the present condi-
tion phTsical and mcaUl of each can
didate for matrimony. Without a cer-
tificate from snob a board no one is to be
pormitted to marry. Well such a law
as that would depopulate New York of
all exoept married people in five years.
There Is not one marriageable couple
ont of five hundred that would go be-
fore a board to be examined to see
whether they know enough to get mar-
ried. Don't people who have sparked
and been sparked know whether they
are competent to marry as well as a
board oomposod of old back numbers
who sit around asking conundrums T
Such a board could be bribed to furnish
a diploma to parties .that were incom-
petent as well as our boards of medical
officers are bribed to Rive certificates to
pork packera to practice surgery.. No
refined woman would want to go before
a board and answer questions as to
whether she bad ever bad the mumps
of worms or. what; she would give a
child that kicked up is row at night be-
sides a spanking. (; You couldn't get a
bashful young man to go before the
board and tell whether he had ever been
exposed to matrimony before and
whether he thought he know enough to
get married without the assistance of a
guardian No when people ara ready
to get married too board of hygiene
chaps can tell 'them anything. They
know it vail. 16 would kill them dead
to go before a Supreme Court and have
their cases Sqt on by a Coroner's jury
to see if they wore compos mentis.
They would put off getting married un
til it was everlastingly too late before
they would submit to ! such interfer-
ence;" or 'get' married in defianoe of
law and after they had got settled ask
the board what it was going to do about
it. : There are some people of oourse
who should. be clubbed for thinking
about getting married but take it on an
average and the marrying we get now-
adays averages pretty well and it is best
to let well enough alone.-r-PecJr'.1r Sim:
Red-Headed Ulrls. .
A lady correspondent who ought to
know writes from NewTork trf say that
red-headed girls are all tho' rage. Those
who have nery heads ry nature now ao-
count themselves ucky. Lemon blones
have lost their grip and black heads join
them in envying the reds. '.'.Red hair is
attainable but with considerable trouble
for bleaching must bo followed by dye-
ing and the process requires frequent
repetition. Moreover ' the peculiar
complexion that 1 usually accompanies
red hair cannot be simulated. It has a
clear pallid hue for a groundwork (and
this might by itself be counterfeited)
but on it appear pale reddish freckles
and to paint them in would be too deli-
cate an operation . to undertake. Red
hair is becoming common on the street
and in public assemblages but the real
is So easily distinguished from the false
that the fashion is not likely to last long.
In the matter of hair-dressing while it
is no longer correct to wear the hair
high on the. head and in voluminous
puffs braids aud frizzes as was fash-
ionable only a year ago it is neverthe-
less evident that the close .flat style of
coiffure is going out : of date.. Curls
and loops are added from week to week
and gradually we are returning to the
elaborate style of hair-dressing which
is really the only one suitable for the
complicated details of the general toilet
of to-day J When done in red hair the
business is effective. Women with red
hair are called "rossas." . When attired
with taste they are bewitching if they
have fine pomplexionH good features
animated and intelligent countenances
and eyes blue gray dark brown or
bronze-tinted; they should dress in
either very dark; or very light' colors.
Grays drabs yellows bright blue
bright green mauve lilac and rose do
not become them. They may wisely
wear black dark blue dark violet pearl
and cream white water blue and the
palest tints of Nile green.
i The . Atlanta "Cotton Exposition
which comes off in October is being
well advertised. There has always
been a good deal of humbuggery and
blow about that town i . Her press and
people are distinguished for great en-
mity toward Texas. We don't see
wherein Texas is specially called upon
to help out this show. The "delegates"
drumming it up didn' come here al-
though they went' everywhere else
pretty much. Texas will not be rep-
resented there either by representative
men and women nor by productions.
Its none of our funeral and we are not
even sueciall v. invited to at.-- . Were
Texas to send there a few specimens of
her farm productions accompanied with
facts aud figures it would result in a
hegira from Georgia's worn out and
worthless lands. And that's what the
manipulators of the Atlanta show are
afraid of. '

D bad wood Dakota Aug. ' 18. This
section of country has been undergoing
its annual stampede spasm during the
post three or four weeks; and the attack
seems to show no signs of abatemont
up to this time.
Borne time ago an old prospector
named Redpath found some float-rock
on the hills about ten miles from this
city which he thought was pure carbon-
ate. He brought it to the city bad
it assayed and found .it went up to the
thousands of ounces . of silver to the
ton. He also etliibited some specimens
to old Colorado miners who pronounced
it the pure stuff and were very anxious
to find out where it came from. There
was a great deal oL-myaiery at first but
in a very shorttlme it took possession
of averybody and the stampede of the
season was inaugurated. 1
The ground on wbioh the find was
made was in a wild portion of country
about ten miles from here that had
apparently never "beeii prospected.
There were no roads to the point and
the first crowd i of . treasure-hunters
made their way on horsebaok or afoot.
They came back laden with specimens
of marvellously rich rock and with
tales of the beauty of this section of
golden or rather silver promise. In a
few hours tho towns of Deadwood Cen-
tral and Lead were almost depopulated.
All hod gone to the new camp. - V
A town - was laid' ont' lots 'drawn for
by all present rules for the government
of the new district agreed to a town re-
corder elected and the Eldorado given
the name or West Virginia City. In
forty-eight hours West Virginia City
contained a population 1 of froni five
hundred vto one thousand people in
quest of wealth. Nine saloons were in
operation on the third day supplying
the thirsty multitude with oorn-juiee
nnd "sich;" aeouple of faro-banks were
open to amuse the t boys'! restaurants
wero started-; and tb pap the climax
on the fourth day a 'newspaper was is-
sued called the Carbonate Reporter
by Dolph Edwards arid the Pinneo
brothers. At the time I write the city
has reached almost metropolitan pro:
portions more than fifty buildings hav-
ing been erected. "As high as $500 has
been paid . for lots to' build on and
everything looks .as if the town would
las- - . . . ..
About a dozen ' mining companies
have been organized here in Deadwood
for the purpose -of developing the
country and finding out just what their
is in it before inviting in Eastern capital.
Very high prioes have been paid for
claims with scarcoly any development
whatever. A third interest in the
Jefferson mine with a hole only ten feet
deep was sold for $2000 which will
give some idea of the richness of the
prospects. The laigest body of ore
yet uncovered a four-foot ledge was
loeatad by two printers named A. i.
Parks and William Jumea who were
among the first on the cronnd. i :

Robert Chestnut an old wagon-master
6n the plains who came to Coffey-
ville about eight years ago with consid-
erable money and who as every one
had supposed had gone through with
it surprised the natives last Saturday
night by digging up $5000 in cash
tlmt he had buried vhen lie came here
in Mrs. Crittenden's 'lots next block
north "of the Eldridge house. When
Bob came to Coffeysvlle he deposited a
considerable sum of money in the bank
and drew from it as often and as much
as was necessary to meet his expenses.
He was addicted to strong drink as al-
most every man of his class is and went
through with quite a sum in several
years. During the lost year he has
mode several attempts to reform in the
matter of drinking' but whiskey had
6iicn a strong hold upon him that as
long as the stflff was to be had he could
not keep away from it. Since the new
law went into effect Bob has. appeared
different his carriage; is more erect and
a new and brighter gleam is in his eyes.
During the last year he was strapped
most of the time. Last Saturday night
in company with one of his friends Bob
went to the house (where he once lived)
mentioned above- ith aspadeand gained
permission to do some digging in the
garden. He measured off from the
place where he had buried the money
and dug a hole a number of inches
deej) reached his hand down and pull-
ed tip a large roll of something which
after taking the- wrappings of oilcloth
off was found to be a fruit jar. Open-
ing the jar Bob took from it a couple
of wallet which were filled .with green-
backs. The money was counted by one of
our business men aud there wasexactly
$5000 mostly in 100 bills. Itissaid lli.lt
when Bob buried the money he renOlvcd
tint ho would leg for a living liefore
he would touch it so long as he' was
! diinking whisk v and he faithfully kept
his resolve. On list Tuesday morning
Bob rt irted for the Territory to pur-
chase cattle fur shipment.
