Mills and Cotton.

The State OF South Carolina ia still far
in the lead in the matter of the cotton
manufacturing industry in the South.
Inc TACT Is, this State has in operation
moro spindles THE year than any other Of
the thirteen Southern States. North Car
| oilna takes second place, though, as here
toiore, she has many more mills than
either this State or Georgia, and Georgia
takes third place.
careiul study OF the figures gotten
out recently for this year by the Com
mercial and Financial Chronicle and tho
new Orleans Cotton Exchange, shows
that the movement of cotton manufactur-
ing enterprises TO the cotton has been
most marked during the past year. The
ngures include all mills started up during
the year, all those continuing in opera
tion having been previously established.
ana lew mills IN operation only por-
ton of the year. No account is taken of
the many mills now in course of erection.
which will be in operation within the
next six months time.
According TO the Chronicles report
South Carolina has 81 mills in operation
now, operating 994,740 spindles, consum-
ing for the year 148, ,767, ,O42 pounds of cot
ton. According tc the Exchange report
South Carolina's cotton crop this year
Will be, In round numbers, 500, 900 bales,
OF which the homo mills will consume
S2S, CAB bales. or about 40 per cent. OF tho
entire crop. The port shipments are put
down at 270,22S bales. South Carolina
has over 100000 more spindies in opera
ton than any other of the thirteen South
ern States and consumes over 20 OOO. 900
pounds more cotton than any other State
in the South. North Carolina has 147
mills at present. There are 375 mills In
the Southern States this year, having
3,l97 ,545 spindlos and using nearly 4si,-
100000 pounds OF cotton, against 352 mills
last year with 2,77O, ,2s2 spindles, using up
43O. .543, $3.50 pounds OF cotton.
Taking into confederation the fact that
the North this year has but IL, ,OOO. .OO0
spsndles, and the total inoroase in the
number Of spindles In the United States
amounts to 543,341, the showing cannot
but attract attention, for OF the 54S, BAL the
South has 427,36l. These figures chow
beyond any question that, 90 far as the
erection of new mills and the enlarge.
ment Of plants is concerned, this work
has been confined almost entirely to the
Southern States.
The Chronicle gives few other
figures OF interest. The entire CONNER
c!el cotton crop Is place.: az S,7i4, oil bales.
or this the North will consume 1885, 200
bales end the South 1924 ,482 bales, the
North using only slO,5l8 more bales than
the South. The entire cotton crop for this
year in the States Of Georgia, South Caro-
lima and North Carolina is $500, 900 bales,
the mills In these States consuming 8l3,-
2S3. The percentage of consumption in
these three States is 3I.3: The Southern
mile have s2,873 looms in addition to
their spindles
The New Orleans Exchange report says
the average consumption per spindle of
the Southern cotton milln for the wear
1896 II is 14O.16 pounds.

up god Of their own invention. After
having seen that example of nineteenth
century liberal Judaism Qiberal in the
sense Of giving away what did not be-
long to them), he had visited one of the
orthodox synagogues. There was no
rationalism there, but the old religion.
There the congregants were proud that
they were Jews, and rejoiced in the fact,
and as he was seated to the left Of the
ark, and facing the congregation, he had
the opportunity of noticing the devotion
and reverence with which the services
were conducted. 1t was among the Or
thodpx Jews that the national movement
was most powerful. The national
movement was a reality and fact. 1t
was not epasmodic movement, but one
that was being carried on with great
practical business-like skill and deter
mination. 1t was young blood that was
wanted. Young Judah must rise, and
the daughters of Zion should help. God
himself was preparing their way by the
circumstances by which He was making
the nations of the world, more ready for
the issue of such glorious event. He
had in his mind a motto which he would
like to see written in Hebrew: "Judaea
given back, and Jerusalem restored
would be the glory of the world"

I met him for the first time about twen-
ty years ago, which was long before the
snow birds had begun to practice the
Terpsichorean art in his whiskers. The
hand Of time had not put the middle-age
touches upon him, and yet, though un-
ripe, he was as mellow in spirit as a
peach.
Every one liked him. In fact he was
a prime favorite and was sought on all
sides, until he became so omnivorous that
he could appre ciate the esoteric beauties
of the humble red herring quite as
keenly as those of the patrician red
snapper. People of speculative, fanc
full turn often wondered which was the
greater, his thirst or his appetite, while
conservative, long headed judges gave
it as their opinion that if they could be
brought together in trotting race the
thirst would win in straight heats.

marked Jimmy the Genial, when ones
friends will supply one with the neces-
saries of life?"
And soon thereafter he began working
upon this plan, which he reduced to an
exact science. He knew men not by the
company, but by the bottles, they kept
and associated their names with the
brands of their liquor and the number
Of times he could imbibe at their boards

| criticism.
| One man, who certainly had a singular
| idea Of the relations of host and guest,
| said that Jimmy the Genial would never
depart until the bottle was empty, and
| that he would remember that he had an
| important engagement only when a
| clothes wringer could not squeeze an
other drop from the fiagon.
He would hunt whisky like an Indian,
and when once on the trail he, was sure
winner. I have known him to meet a
man on the street and accompany him in
any direction. in the hope of being re-
warded with liquid refreehment. One
day he started with a friend from the
Battery and walked to Forty-second
street. The friend had made up his
mind that he would walk the Genial un-
til he died of thirst, but he evidently had
a sufficient supply, like the camel in the
desert, to bear him in triumph to the
end of his journey. By the time Wall
street was rgached Jimmy the Genial
began to complain of catarrh, and the

The Rev. Father Ignatius on rising to
deliver the lecture received an enthusi-
astic welcome. He said that the subject
on which he had been askedto speak was
one on which he felt very strongly. AS
a kind of substratum, he would take as
his text passage from one Of the grand
Jewish poet-prophets, Isaiah xliii:10:
"Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord
and my servants whom I have chosen,
that We may know and believe me; and
understand that I am He, before whom
there was no God formed, neither shall
there be after me. Therefore, we are
witnesses that I am God" 1t was diff
cult to believe that the people to whom
those words were spoken by the Most
High, should be the subjects, of anti
Semitic movement throughout Europe
at the present time-a movement which
was perfect disgrace to European civil
ization, and above all, to the Christian
religion. AS a Christian, he was heart
lily ashamed that such a movement
could possibly exist among Christian
nations. The present position of the
Jews was blot upon civilization. The
words of the old-time prophet held good
to the present day. The Jews were God S
witnesses to the nations of Europe. All
true religion and the highest civiliza
ton were founded upon the revelation
of God to the Jew. 1t was magnificent
phenomenon that the Jew held in his
hand the revelation of the Creator, and
when he attended synagogue and saw
the Chazan take the Sepher Torah from
the Ark and spread it on the Almemar
he wondered, because it was miracul-
Gus sight. The Jewish race was the
greatest chronological phenomenon that
modern history had to face. There was
no other people that occupied such an
unique position as the Jews, and, as a
child, that idea had SO impregnated him
that when he met even Jewish cid
clothes man he had never passed him
without raising his hat. The Jews were
the royal family of humanity. There
was no Disgusting the fact that the Jew
had already morally half conquered the
world, and before long the Jew would
entirely conquer. Then the words of
the old Hebrew prophet would be real
lied. The Chovevi Zion association
seemed to him to be raising the first finger
pointing to that magnificent and glori-
Gus time when the Jews shall receive
back their own. If it were not for the
Jews there would be nothing to satisfy
the reason of Christians as to the exist
ence of God. They might have the idea
evolving from their minds, but there
could be no distinct knowledge of what t
It is. That revelation hadibeen deposited
in the hands of the Jews. If only the
nations had borne that fact in mind the
regard for and treatment of the Jew
would be totally different from what
1t is But he was sorry to say that the
magnificent truth respecting the chosen
people had been set aside by certain
Jews themselves. There were some who
were unconscious of the miracle of the
preservation of the Jewish race, in spite

At last that point was reached and the
host said:
TITS about time to take drink"
"Ill take John Collins!" shouted the
Genial before the friend could conclude
his remarks, and before they had entered
the place.
The expression OF peace and joy that
combined to light the Genial's face as
he looked upward into the glass would
have placed the deathless laurel upon
the brow Of the painter who could have
transmitted it to canvas. In the subtle
silence of the moment his features shone
with a roseate passion that breathed
like the melody Of dream. When the
glass was put back upon the bar, the
Genial swiftly said:
"Good-bye," had almost forgot that
I have an appointment with a man in
Forty-third street."

tracing the friends attention to spec
linen in window near Fulton street.
Very curious indeed"
That's a peculiar West Indian bottle
that always makes me sigh for hot rum"
1T doesn't make you sigh for hot rum
on day like this, does it?"
mo, not for hot rum; but Santa
Cruz sour would be just the thing for
this kind of day. 1 tell you there is rot
another drink that can touch Santa
Cruz sour for mellifluous rosiness. 1t IS
like dreaming in rainbow"
1T must be very fine" said the friend
moving on slowly, while the Genial
coughed a husky cough that plainly in
dicated the horrible conflict that was
raging within.
They walked on ir, silence, the Genial
coughing and expectorating f1akily,
while his neck became CONSTRUCTED from
the ineffable thirst which was slowly
but surely gaining the upper hand. A.
Spring street he leaped and said:
I'm very glad I cleared that yellow
dog?"
(which yellow dog?"
"Why, that yellow dog I just jumped
over"
"You didn't jump over any yellow dog;
there wasn't any yellow dog"
"Well that's singular to say the least
I'll swear I thought I saw yellow dog
fit by like living omelette, and the
popularity of this yellow dog was that
he was just like a yellow dSg I used to
know up in Winsted, Conn. Can you
guess what this dogs greatest peculiar
ity was?"

"Well, it was this: He had wild pas
sion for beer; sometimes he would break
into bark trying to blow the foam off
this rich imported beer. He would drink
beer all day, and that's what made him
so yellow. If he could not get yellow
beer he would take the dark. Which dc
you prefer?"
IT like both"
| Here the Genial was sicklied Ger by
the pale cast of his disappointment. He
| seemed a convulsion in repose, while
his facial muscles stood forth as if to
| illustrate the music of his agony
"Its wonderful how all these places
thrive and do such a rushing business
continued the Genial. Here we are
right in front Of the Continental, ther
there's the Fifth Avenue, the Hoffman
house, Delmonico's, the Imperial" The
names fairly dazed him, while he con-
tinued:
LAS I said before, here we are at tht
Continental. Have you seen the grea
works of art they put in last week. Jus
imported from Paris at great expense
No man can afford to say that he hasn'
seen them"
Il saw them yesterday"
"And don't you like to look upon thos
beautiful works of art more than once
Now, know a man who never fails t.
look at them whenever he is in thi
neighborhood. Sometimes he takes
cocktail or a fizz, or an absinthe gourme
or a Collins, or any other civilized drinl
that happens to strike his fancy. tn
only way to thoroughly enjoy grea
work of art is through glass p-tilte'
lat an angle of forty-five degrees. Di
+ understand you to say that you ha
already seen these new art importa
tions?"

BELIEVED IN AN AERIAL OCEAN
Queer Tales of English origin Which
illustrate an Old Superstition

The curious superstition that there
is an ocean above the clouds is illus
trated by the following strange story
by an old English writer: "One Sunday
the people Of a certain village were COM
ing out Of church on thick, cloudy day,
when they saw the anchor of ship
hooked to one Of the tombstones-the
cable, whickwas tightly stretched hang
ing down through the air. The people
were astonished, and while they were
consulting about it, suddenly they saw
a rope move as though someone labored
to pull up the anchor. The anchor, how
ever, still held fast by the stone, and
great noise was heard in the air, like
the shouting Of sailors Presently sailor
was seen sliding down the cable for the
purpose of unfixing the anchor. When
he had just loosened it the villagers
seized hold of him, and while in their
hands he quickly died, as though he had
been drowned. About an, hour after the
sailors above, hearing no more of their
comrade, cut the cable and sailed away.
"In memory of the extraordinary event
the people of the village made the hinges
of the church doors out of the iron OF
the anchor" 1t is further stated That
"these hinges are still to be seen there"
bit of evidence much like Munchau-
sens rope, wherewith he once climbed
to the moon. If you doubted the story
you were confronted with the rope.
There is another queer tale about this
aerial ocean. "A merchant of Bristol"
it is said, "set sail with his cargo for
Ireland. Some time after, while his
family were at supper, knife suddenly
fell in through window on the table.
When the merchant returned and saw
the knife he declared it to be his own,
and said that on such a day at such an
hour, while sailing in an uxSnown part
of the sea, he dropped the knife over
board; and the day and the hour were
found to be exactly the time when 1t
fell through the window" All of whicn
was once implicitly believed by many,
and regarded as incontrovertible proof
of the existence of a sea above the sky.
One is at loss to conjecture how that
unknown part of the sea" connected
with the rest of It, A physical geogra-
ply showing this would be no small
uriosity.-Science.
