If cotton can be carried from the fields

reason that still greater dividends can be
earned by mills in sight of the fields Our
people ought TO have cotton fac
tories in every good sized community in
the state. BY proper management they
can be made to pay. Nearly every one in
Alabama has been making money the

only SO companies. with an aggregate
capital of Sip.5lS, 900, paid out IN divi-

average Of II per cent. Besides, 10 may
be taken that these mills laid aside quite
a sum for surplus aud for new machinery.

for mill property. What Is being doue

The Moody and sankey Chorus Is Becom-
Ing Too Large.
The final rehearsal Of the Moody and
Sankey choir was held last night in
West Presbyterian Church. It will lead
the singing in the services to be held
tomorrow evening in West Church and
at Grace Church on Saturday night
when Evangelist Sankey will probably
be present
The volunteers have responded to the
appeal for singers in such numbers that
now nearly 500 people have joined what
was originally intended to be a choir of
half that number.
It Is said that a number of those who
now claim membership in the choir are
but little acquainted with music and that
they applied for admission therein because
such places would insure them admission
to the Moody and Sankey services. 1t is
expected, however that only fractional
part Of the choir will be present at a
majority of the meetings.

The Evoluiion Of Comic Opera.

Edward Stephens in the New Peterson.
The great popularity Of comic opera in
this country has been deprecated by
certain plnywrights, lovers Of the drama,
and others, as indicating a decadence of
popular taste and morals A retrospec-
tive glance at the dramatic history Of
the last quarter Of a century shows, on
the contrary. that there has been a
constant trend toward refinement and
improvement in those qualities. When
French opera bouife had its vogue here,
such a charge might fairly have
heen made: for there were Objectionable
features in many of the French operas
Their plots were not always of the kind
taught in Sunday schools, and their
amusing lines would not invariably bear
literal translation nor indeed did many Of
their situations bear reproduction on the
american or English stage AS time
wore on, these compositions lost favor.
The demand for comic opera has in
creased year by year; but with It have
been exacted clean plots aud lines, a
higher class Of music, and better artists
