THE PENSION LIST.

The assertion of Pension Commissioner
Evans that the publication OF the pension
list would be against public policy is not
satisfactory. Public policy requires that
every name that is on the pension roll
without right to be there should be
stricken, and the surest way to discover
the frauds on the roll is to publish the
entire list Of pensioners.
1t is charged that there are thousands
Of persons drawing pensions who have
never had any just claim to them II
this is true, the published rolls would ex-
pose these fraudulent pensioners In every
community where they live. II the charge
Is not true, the publication of the roll
would put an end to the clamor for q
purging Of the pension list.

The extension Of civilization into the
dark places OF the world opens new fields
for cotton goods. Civilizations advance
is measured by the increase In cotton con
sumption. This increase must go on con-
stantly, and the 1900, OO0-bale crop must
be exceeded before many years by crops
OF IL, 900 and then 100000 and then
IL, 100000, as the worlds ever increasing
requirements shall demand.
With this growth, and even more rap
idly than this, will the cotton manufact-
uring interests Of the South develop.
While the increase in the number OF spin
dies in Southern mills from 687, 900 in 1880
to 100000 in 1897 was taking place, the
increase In the rest of the country was
from pose, 900 to Ia, OOO, 900, the gain In the
South being about 500 per cent. and In the
whole country outside Of the South about
30 per cent. In 1880 the South had one
fifteenth Of the number Of spindles in the
country; now 1t has nearly one-third Of
the number. Cotton mills are probably
the most popular form Of investment for
local capital in the Carolinas and Georgia
Nothing else seems to appeal so directly
and forcibly to all who have spare money
to invest. The result is that the aston
ishing advance In mill building in those
states has been due almost wholly to local
capital. The mills are In nearly al cases
earning good profits, thus steadily increas
ing the popularity Of cotton mills as q
safe place for money"
