 The Cotton Mills
 The Avondale and Cordova cotton mills are rapidly progressing and will be ready for manufacturing the incoming crop.
 The second story of the Avondale mill Is nearing completion. This mill covers a space 127x296 feet. excluding the tower and the wing for the engine room, which is 56x10S feet. The reservoir, which will furnish water, to the mill has capacity of 7O0,OOO gallons. The plant will have HOO looms, 35,000 spindes, with a daily output of 5o.00O yards, being the fourth largest plant of this character in the south. The mill will employ 800 laborers. Every suburb and adjacent locality has taken on the same spirit of enter prise. and dozens of homes of both mod est and pretentious proportions are be- ing buih. at East Lake, Woodlawn. AvondaIe. Elyton and Besemer. Substantial Growth
 This growth is substantial and without imitation. Prices of real estate on pop- ular residence streets are possibly more reasonable khan they have been for years past.
 These reports of improvement have gone out over Alabama, and our real estate firms are, receiving numerous communications relative to investment and Improvements

the iron and steel schedule (except in a very few instances) practically un- changed from that fixed in the Wilson bill. 50 that if there is any advantage to be derived from the high tariff dutiss. none have been given to the producers of iron and steel.
 "But if the Dingley bill does not in- crease the price of our Iron and directly benefit us. how are we injured by it?'
 'The cost of labor is very important factor in the ultimate cost of productoin of any manufactured article. The Amer- ican miner and iron or steel worker must receive wages, on which he can live and support his family in comfort. If you greatly increase the cost of the II eessl ties of life, you must either increase his wages or he must be deprived of some of thos= home comforts that he is aeeus- toned to- If you increase his wagss you necessarily increase the cost of produc- 'tfcn of the article he manufactures, and 10 that extent diminish the ability of the home manufa ctu1ers to compete with his product in the markets of the world"
 "The drastic features of the Dingle'y bill are, that the highest tariff taxes are levied on the necessities of life. In oth- CT words, it is strictly a bill to raise rev. enue by tax on consumption-.he most abominajble of all classes of taxation.
 '-The average tax on wooden goods that i,f d oIJ ia -4A 101 per cent. IA revenu= of s44.OO0,0O0 is to be raised by a tax on wool and wooden goods. And ahe highest rates of duty are levied on the cheaper grad=s of these ing people of the country.
 "It has enriched the Sugar Trust by. fixing the average duty on raw sugar at abou; 151 and the duty on refined su- gar at 1875 cents per pound.
 "It has put tax on some grades of linoleum of from 100 to 200 per cent.
 Tt has put duty on knives and forks, such as are used by tdhe plain people of this country, from 50 to 1571s psr cent.
 'It has put a duty on floor mating, a necessity in our warm climate, of 200 per cent
 Lamp chimneys from 100 to 40 per cent, and the glassware schedules nun up as high as 120 per cent.
 ''It is unnecessary to go into an enaim- eration of all the schedules suffice it to say that on shose, hats, clothes, bedding, glassware. school books. miners tools, sugar, salt and almost every necessity of life, the highest tariff duties have been levied that were ever known in any tar tiff Legislation in this country. I there fore contend. uhaa whereas. our people derive practically no benefit from these enormous taxes. we are made to pay them. do put money in the pockets of people who live in other sections of this country. who are net endowed with our natural advantages. but who force us to make them rich by means of tariff duties levied for their benefit"

The Fly Gets the Spider


 Samuel Simon. ST.. a well known resi- dknt of Neshannock township, while strollng near his home one day recent 1y, noticed a fly about half an inch long and of a dark blue color. The fly crossed his path and laid his load down. It then went about eighteen inches in another di- r+ctioU and commenced digging a hols in the ground. Smons curiosity being excited, he stopped arsd watched the work. After the fly had the hole dug about half the length of himself he went to where h- had left the spider and took its dimensions. After going back to the hole he found 1t was not big enough. and commenced digging again. After taking out quantity of earth he again went to the spider and again took his di- mensions. He did this eight timss. and as often enlarged the hole When the busy little fellow had the hole too -desp for him to throw the earth clear out, hs would go on the bank and force it back with his feet. After he had the excaya- ton large enough for this purpose he went for the spider and brought it to the grave, for such 1t proved to be. and dragged tt to the mouth of the hole. Af- ter he had the body in he covered 1t with fine earth f1rst and finished by plac1nr a small piece of cander on the top When he had finished the work he flew away. The whols time consumed wes exactly fifty-hvv ni6nutes as 1Gr. Simon eAys ha sat and Nptched ths WhnAs performance
