OUR SOUTHERN MILLS.
No public sales of stock of Southern
companies have taken place OF late;
perhaps we should say none Is for sale;
but we hazard nothing in saying that
not a share in the Eagle and Phoenix
corporations, or in any of the we'll
managed Augusta or Atlanta mills,
can be bought at any material reduct
ion from the price of three or four
years ago, when all such stocks were
In demand. Investors in this section
Of the country have plenty OF con-
tidence in Southern mills, provided
they arc well mansged,-[ Atlanta

THE FOREIGN STRIKERS.
Tho foreign strikers propose TO their
former employers as an alternative to
their reinstatement at the wages for
mely paid, that they DO sent back to
Europe at the expense OF the company.
As they were brought here by the
company to take the place Of other
strikers, on an und erstanding, az they
claim, that the wages originally agreed
J upon should DO continued their is
nothing unreasonable in the demand.
Incidents like this are worth more
than legislation as check upon the

FAYoRITE NAMES FOR GIRLS.
What are the favorite names for
glrls-part OF course, from the
acknowledged supremacy of Mary ?
This has long been a disputed quest
ion, and there is no way of settling IL
but by going delibortely into statistics,
Such an opportunity is giving in the
long list OF names printed yesterday
-. ofRraduates and distinguished pupils
-. at the normal school. We have had
the curiosity to analyze this list of 800,
and dlsregarding pet and dimiuutive
names on principle, and throwing
aside initials OF necessity, we extract
these fairly trustworthy figures of
cases where the names are favored to
the extent of five each or upward.
Mary leads of with 30, but she is
rather closely pressed by Anna with

Laura Is good fourth with 49, Mar
garet IL and Katherine IL are the only
double figures. Then in order como
these choices OF names: Helen, o;
Emma, s. Lillian, s; Clara, 7; jana, 7;
Louisa, 81; Alice, G; Caroline, o; Flor
SO apt are people TO so in

proportions would mold in 8, 600 names
