THAT BIG MILL
At Alabama City-Some Idea of the Im-
 mensity of the Structure.


 mensity of the Structure.
 A representative of the Gadsden Times News went out to the site of the cotton mill at Alabama City last Friday and was surprised at the push and progress evidenced in every department of con- struction. One hundred and seventy men were at work in the morning and more were to begin at noon. Everything goes in hustle now, as the work is pretty we'll systematized.s
 On account of the recent rains and gen. eral bad weather the building has been retarded, but these bright sunny days afford the contractors an opportunity to whoop things up, and in a short while the main building will be up so far that the weather will not materially hinder the contractors.
 The basement window frames have been placed and a part of the bottom floor sills are up. A small amount of ex- cavating Is yet to be done and when it is through the basement will be concreted. The boiler, engine, dust and heating rooms are assuming definite proportions also.
 Some idea of the immensity of the mill may be had from a review of the size of the buildings to be erected. The main building will be 130 feet wide and 300 feet long-three sixteen foot stories and ten foot basement.
 The cotton warehouse will be in fire proof compartments and 4o0x500 feet.
 The cloth warehouse 150x200 feet.
 Water reservoir to hold 5000, 900 gall Ions of water--a lake covering two acres of ground.
 Boiler house and engine rooms 10Ox2OO feet.
 Smoke stack of brick 25 feet square at the base and 200 feet high. And water mains, drains, sewerage, etc.

REVIVAL OF "THE HAVERSACK.n

From this time forward a regular feature of the Sunday Age-Herald will be column devoted to the thrilling days of '60-65. Every man who had the honor to wear the jacket of gray is in vited to- contribute, whether the story he send be personal experience or war lore" of that time.
 It has been said that the South in general has not yet found out that the war is over, but he who makes the state ment merely shows himself unaware of the existence of the New South, bristling with enterprise and unfurling as a stand ard the broad ribbon of progress.
 We know the war is over; we have no wish to keep alive spirit of hostility between the sections. It is no longer North and South, but the United States, governed by like impulses and similar ambitions. But there is another thing. The children of the boys of '65" are fall ing into the habit of speaking of the late war as the rebelion," and of the sol diers who fought for the South as 'reb- els" This should not be. Even if senti- ment alone dictated a protest it would be a sufficient reason why some effort should be made to change this mode of speech. Leave 1t to the other side to use so objectionable a word when speaking of the late Confederacy and her children.
 Thoughts of gallant Stuart, intrepid Jackson and Albert Sydney Johnston do not bring to mind the word rebellion; but rather of men who knew what they were doing and who did their duty as they conceived it, caring nothing for conSe- quences to themselves. Again. Robert D. Lee, the idol of "a storm-cradled nation that fell" Does his face suggest rebel lion? Rather the earnest, forceful power of man whose whole nature was bent to meet the requirements of his con- science.
 The South of today does not realize the magnitude of that struggle. To young ears it sounds like the tales of the days of chivalry when anything wild and Quixotic was deemed jexcusable if it brought the idoer into a passage of arms, or else young America character izes 1t as the action of lot of old fo- gies who did not know what they were about. When we come to think of the fact that the fathers of the aforesaid young America shed their blood in behalf of the cause the need for literature that will inculcate a right spirit is readily seen.
 It is not the bravest spirit that speaks lightly of serious things; it is not the earnest nature that professes contempt for institutions of history. The question is, is the boy who characterizes his own father as 'reber' the sort of material that in ap emergency shoulders his mus ket and, rebel or not, is ready to do his duty in defense of his country?
 We are not pleading for sectional spirit or hostile feeling, but for respect that should be shown to our memories. We wish our children to be good citizens of the general government; to be that they must. first of all be true to their home traditions. In other words, 'it Is not nec- essary with us. as with the Hottentots, that a man should prove his manhood by beating his mother"
