Collisions? Yes, of course there

said in favor of the bicycle: if one

Cotton Mills Sonth.

The remarkable development of
cotton manufacturing in the South
is truly astonishing, the true extent
of it not being generally apprecia-
ted. There was great growth in
this industry between 1880 and
1890, but during the past four years
the increase in the number OF cot
ton spindles has been greater than
during the previous decade. Ac-
cording to a special issue of the
Manufacturers Record, in 1890
there were 254 cotton mills n the
South, with 1,712,93O spindles and
39,231 looms. representing an ag
gregate investment of SCI, ,124, ,C9G
At the end of 1894 there were 425
mills, with 3,O23, $50 spindles and
IS, 25O looms, representing capital
estimated at slO7, 900, 900. The new
mills under construction or pro-
jected, and the additions to old mills
that are now being made, will add
about 100000 moro spindles, repre-
senting al investment estimated at
about sI2, 100000.
The South will probably not soon
outstrip New England in the man
utacture of cotton yarns and fab
RIGS, but every intelligent student
of Southern industrial conditions
recognizes that tremendous posi-
bilities for cotton manufacture exist
there, and that a very large proper
tion of the cotton industries must
eventually centre in the midst of
the fields in which the fibre is
grown.-Wheeling Register.

IL Really

would be pity if Point Pleasant
canpot have telephone exchange.
1t would be great convenience to
business men, as well as all other
people a reporter of the Register
had talk with Mr.. Snyder, who is
trying to get up an exchange for
this place. He told us that he was
not meeting with the success in
getting subscribers for the boxes
that he had anticipated, nor what
he was led TO believe he would get
when he organized the exchange,
He stated, however, that he intended
to keep at it until the people were
convinced that they could not afford
to lose this opportunity to secure a
telephone exchange. We trust that
the people will give him sufficient
encouragement to secure the build
ing of the exchange. This town is
getting too big to do business on
old method plans. We must keep
up with the times.

the fact that the arguments advanced

the country has gotten out book,
which lacks both readers and pur-

to leave the impression that there
is world of mysterious ridicule
under this title. Abuse and denun-
citation are always the resort of those
who have no argument to support
their position, and feel impelled to
do or say something to stem ris-
ing tide. In all controversies now
being carried on concerning the
financial question the facts, the
logic, the argument are on the side
of silver. The only strength against
it, and that is almost all powerful,
however, is the power of money.
The sum and substance of all ar
guments advanced by the oppo-
nents of silver is that the money
changers must be cared for, their
interests must be protected, and the
value of their financial investments
must not be impaired. Other af-
fairs may come aud go and be sub
