THE COTTON MILL MASS MEETING.
 It has too often been the case in the past that Southern boom town would organ. iZe some scheme and subscribe a limited amount of stock, and then start commit tee out to pull the legs of capitalists in some Eastern town. The committee al- ways searched for q town inhabited by cen- tipedes, and their success was in propor- ton to the number found. Quite different was the spirit displayed at the cotton mill meeting yesterday afternoon. The deter imitation to build the mill with home money and run it with home men was plainly expressed. Every man present was convinced that it would be such good thing that outsiders should not be let in. Yet, after warm discussion, it was finally agreed to admit few outsiders, but not enough to get control of the mill.
 The meeting had business air about it, and every man present went away con- vinced that the cotton mill would be built. It was developed that there was g, ,000, GOO lying idle in the banks of Birmingham. Only S150, ,000 of this immense sum is nec- essary to build the mill. It is desired to put up mill of 10000 spindles, as a smaller one does not pay so well. Land was offered free. Brick is cheaper in Bir- mingham than elsewhere. Much of the material can be obtained by payment in stock. The cotton mill towns in the State stood the financial depression better than those dependent on anything else. An niston's cotton mill made money while her iron industries languished.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.


 The teachers of the city schools still await payment for last months services, though payment has been due since last Saturday. The present. Board of Mayor and Aldermen have made no provision TOT the support Of the schools this year, and seem to be waiting to see what will 'turn >ep.o Mayor VanHoose is in Montgomery making an effort for relief, but all seems to be in the direction of patchwork. He ought by all means to turn his whole at tentiou to au effort to have passed the bill imposing a State tax of ? mills for the sup port of the Birmingham schco S, and with this temporary relief we can hold up until permanent relief is afforded by u constitu- tional convention. It is said that about S5O00 is in the State Treasury for the Bir- mingham schools, but Superintendent Phillips very wisely declines to draw this amount for use until the city signifies what it proposes to do. It has been a custom for years to hold the State and ounty appropriations in reserve for stringent times with the city, after all license has been collected. Mayor Van. Hoose insists upon the State making it's payment and offers no guarantee that the city will do anything. The AGE HERALD would suggest to the teachers that they call upon the city for interest bearing script or warrants, to be carried until the authorities determine what they can do. A suspension of the public schools will never do. They must be kept open.

They BecOme Alarmed and Flee
without Amy Booty.

Stockton, Cal. March 9.-The Southern
Pacific eastbound overland passenger train
was held up between here andLodi shortly
before midnight last night by three
masked men. The robbers compelled the
engineer and fireman to stop the train and
accompany them to the express car, which
they forced open. The messenger would
not open the safe and the robbers were
unable to do so. After working fifteen
minutes on the safe, the robbers became
alarmed on account Of the Oregon express
being due and left the scene on the en-
CINE. The engine ran into Lodi with no
one aboard, the robbers having deserted IL.
A posse of detectives with bloodhounds

acting on the presumption that the case
would not be reached to-day, returned last
night. AS long as the injunction holds
against the Nashville Chattanooga and
St. Louis the associations boycott on
the Seaboard is ineffective. The &eaboard
people are confident that for the Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis to take part
in the boycott would nullify the Western
and Atlantic lease contract with the state
and, therefore, feel sure of a permanent. in
junction when the case does come UP.
