Cotton Mills in Other States.

The American Wool and Cotton Re- of March Is, presents a telling picture of southern progress. It has department bearing the title "New Mills,' and in that department no mention is made of north ern mill-not one. But a score of new southern projects are briefly mentioned and planned. Mention is made of the proposed Merrimack mills at Huntsville, in this state; of a new flannel cotton mill at Greensboro, N. C., which Is to be com pleted in seven months at a cost of $500 900; of Col. Carrs new mill at Durham, N. C., which is to cost s7OO,O00; of the rebuilding of Cobb Bros. hosiery mill at Suffolk, Va, having a capacity of 10000 pairs day; of a knitting mill at Greenville, Tenn to be finished within six months the machinery for which has been purchased; of a new mill at New London, N. C., which is to be of large proportions; of the spinning mill of Willngham Bros, which is in course of erection at Macon, Ga, and of the 25000 spindle mill at Houston Falls, N c.
 Of lesser mills there are mentioned those started or about to be started at Swift Creek, Va; Weldon, N. C.; Lincolnton, N. C.: Little Rock, S. C.. Arcadia, La.; Pan- ola, Hawkinsville and McDonough, Ga. Opelousas, La, and Marion, S. c.
 All of the mills mentioned are in one weeks harvest. and each succeeding brings a similar story This weekly serial of the American Wool and Cotton Reporter plain ly shows that the drift of cotton manufac- turing Is wholly towards the south, but it also plainly shows that Alabama is not a favorite state of the seekers of new sites. It also shows that Alabama towns are not springing very rapidly into the new move- ment. Why there should be such a differ ence between the lesser towns of Alabama and the lesser towns of Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina 1t is difficult to explain. That there is difference, every number of the Wool and Cotton Reporter furnishes ample evidence The towns of Alabama should wake up. They are not keeping up with the procession.

renomination scheme. Alger's administra- ton of the war department resulted in the death of ffty-two hundred American sol- diers by disease. The belief is that they fell prey to disease through the want of invigorating and strengthening food. and every days evidence before the court of inquiry Is turning that belief into fixed conviction. If Alger be carried down in a tide of righteous popular indignation, the man who put him in office cannot escape. If Alger be guilty of maladminstration, MT. Mckinley also Is, for he put him in office as a part of a political deal, and he has kept him there when the country has demanded his dismissal
 renewal of MT. McKinley's candidacy brings before the people the entire conduct of the war, including the care of the volun- people in that event. The republican party will invite it. Alger as a scapegoat, will not suffice. MT. Mckinley himself, who bargained Russell A. Alger into the war uepdt lmenlb must nlmSelI answer DeIOre the people for the terrible blunders and mistakes connected with the handling of the volunteers. Two hundred thousand young men were sadly mistreated. Five thousand of them went out never to return. Many thousands more came back with shattered health and constitutions. For this William Mckinley must answer to the people, if he become again the candidate of his party, and the clearest heads in that party are beginning to think that some one who cannot be charged with such terrible mistakes may be, after all, the stronger candidate. The man who can command the most votes is the man, a rule, who wins, and just now it looks as if William Mckinley is not that man in the republican party.

THE "REsTT BUSINESS EXPLAINED

From the New York Evening Post.
 Such glowing reports have gone out of the presidents success in finding rest" in Georgia that all the politicians will soon be in Thomasville to rest, too. Vice Presi- dent Hobart is already there, but, pshaw! it is only to breathe the piny air. Senator Tom Platt is en route, but he is man of too delicate perceptions to intrude upon MT. McEkinley's rest by lisping one word of politics. Then there is Mir. Kohlsaat of Chicago-he, too, suddenly finds it neces- sary to go to Thomasville to recuperate. But we may be sure that the nearest he will come to saying anything political to the president will be to thank him for ap- pointing his own brother federal judge in Illinois, over the protests of Senator Mason. They are all resting in Thomas vile. Hanna is playing golf like happy boy, and the president goes to drive and into the idyllic circle no thought of re- nomina ation ever enters. The baimy breezes may suggest raising the wind for the next campaign, but all such thoughts, we give our word for it, are sternly put by.

The Palmetto Butchery.

The duty of Governor Candler was not by any means completed when he offered re- ward-not large-for the apprehension of the twenty cowardly butchers of Palmetto. He owes it to the entire south to take the customary steps to ferret out the ruffianly lot. Detectives who are detectives should be put on the case until the last one of them is brought to justice. A good detec- tive could speedily locate every one of the rustic rufiians.
 The attorney general of the state whose duties are chiefly ornamental, should be sent to Palmetto, and required to live there until the twenty are apprehended indicted and tried. Such term of exile would be apt to sharpen his wits.
 Palmetto is in Campbell county, a county of small farmers, who are not murderers at heart. They are honest, respectable peo- pie. The Age-Herald declines to believe that juries cannot be found among such people who will do their duty. We believe good juries can be selected in Campbell county. If Governor Candler will do all that in his great office lies, the brutes who have outraged humanity, and particularly the good people of the south, can be brought to trial and promptly punished. But if on the other hand, Governor Candler permits the matter to remain in the hands of the terrorized county authorities, nctil- ing will be accomplished. The v!ndication of the south turns upon the course Gov ernor Candler pursues. He proposes to pre- vent a recurrence of such barbarsm There is only one way to do it-detect and punish

THE SCIENTIFIC FARMER.
Secretary Wilson Says That He is the Ono Who Will Succeed In the Future.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 New York-James Wilson, secretary Of Agriculture in President McKinley's caDi- net has written for New York paper about the New Farmer" He says he is the result of a revolution in agricultural methods and has already arrived. Part of MT. Wilson's article declares:
 "A new era is coming for the farmers of the United States, and those Of New forK and the Mississippi Valley in particular. It will be the new fashioned farmer who will bring it about. He is the Moses of modern agriculture. The farmer of the future must be a practical scientist The man who does not understand the science of the soil has no business on the farm. If a boy wants to be farmer it is just as necessary that he take a course in an agricultural college as 1t is to the boy who wants to be law yer, a doctor, preacher, to have uni versity education. There is no lesson as good as an object lesson. The dairy farmer of the United States is going to be a great factor in the future. I will tell you why. Because we have learned the secret of Dem marks butter and cheese keeping so well in tropical climates.
 "The farmers of New York state and those of the Mississippi valley make as good butter as is produced anywhere. Dem mark makes good butter. We send our butter to China and 1t cannot compete with the butter from Denmark Why? Because it won't keep There is a splendid market in the Orient, but we are shut out of it practically, because our butter will not stand exportation to that sort of climate.
 "I sent a man to Denmark to find out about it. He learned that the Danish dairymen fed their cattle food that con tained the same substances as the waste of our beet sugar factories-nitrogenous pro- ducts. Now, then, all we have to do in this country is to make butter Just as good in the tropics as that of Denmark Is to raise the sugar beet and feed the waste of the factories to our cows.
 q sent man to the steppes of Russia because heard there was a grass there that months of winter could not kill. I got 1t, experimented with it here, and found that what I heard was right. It will stand all sorts of winter weather and yet be in a condition that as quick as moisture strikes 1t it will grow like a weed. That is not a particularly scientific fact, but Is shows the beneficial results of investigation for the farmer in almost any direction. The new fashioned farmer the scientific farmer, must study the feeding of cattle Not a pound of cotton seed was fed to the 400, 900 cattle that we exported last year, although the south raised 600,000 tons of it. That cot ton seed was mostly wasted or made fer

CHANGE MODE OF ELECTING SENATORS

From the Chicago Tribune.
 When the election of senators Is taken away from the legslature there will be no more vacant seats. No political ad- venturer will be able to deprive his party of senator. When congress meets in December there will be but one senator from Delaware and one from Utah. There may be but one from California and Penn sylvania. When legislatures cease to elect senators one incentive to legislative gerry mandering will disappear. Legislatures will have also have more time to give to their regular duties. But so difficult is 1t to amend the constitution that years may be required to secure the transfer of the election of senators to the people. There will doubtless be many more legislative scandals before the change is made.

William Jennings Bryan.

The country's first citizen will visit this city next Thursday, and he will discuss tine questions of the day in the auditorium on Thursday evening. The people of Birming- ham will then have double cause for con- gratula tion-they will have an opportunity to hear this popular leader and they will be able to get comfortable seat in house big enough to hold all corners. city that holds at once William J. Bryan and an auditorium that will seat five thousand people is city to be envied, and that will be Birmingham's position and condition next Thursday.
 MT. Bryan is an orator and a man of high capacity; no one denies him these gifts; but he is something more and be- yond-he is the peoples tribune. He is distinctively the advocate and friend of the plain people. He is in touch with them on and plutocracy find nothing in him that represents their phases of greed and selfish ness. They detest and malign him. But the great heart of the people who work in a straightforward and just manner-of those who believe in live and let live''- who are not schemers and grabbers-as with the great statesman from out of the west, who Is as courageous as he Is great, and as patient and full of self-control as ba ic coura UaoiIs
 This strong man of the people should re- ceive an old-time welcome in this city. He is not stranger here, but he deserves all the applause we can give him. It will strengthen his hands for the great battle that Is approaching. Out of office, a plain citizen, he is today the first citizen of the great republic. The very abuse that is showered upon him, the very nature of the enemies he has made, prove his pre-emi- hence. Let us give this man who has never been false to his convictions, a rous- ing welcome and reception. Let us show him that no house is too big when he ad- dresses the people of Birmingham Let us fill the auditorium from pit to dome, so to speak. Let us honor ourselves by honor- ing Nebraska's great son, the peoples best friend

Delegates to the Convention.

Six good and strong men have been nomi- mated as delegates to the constitutional convention from Jefferson county. Some of the polling places in the county are twenty miles and more from telegraph sta- tions, and from these outlying districts re- turns are not yet in. However, it Is known from the returns printed in this issue that six of eight men are surely elected, and any six of these eight would be thoroughly rep resentative. They are:
 Frank S. White,
 Hugh Morrow,
 John P. Tillman,
 Reuben F. Kolb,
 Lee c. Bradley, . .. Robert J. Lowe,
 James Weathe-iy,
 c. P. 15eddow.
 The returns to date indicate that the first six have been elected, receiving votes in the order named. However that may be, any six of the eight would make a strong delegation, and Jefferson county will be well and strongly represented.

THE CLIMATE OF PUERTO RICO

From Harper'S Weekly.
 Yellow fever need hardly be dreaded in Porto Rico. It has never taken the form of an epidemic, and but few cases are re- ported from year to year. It has made it. self more apparent, perhaps, in the bar racks of the Spanish soldiers and in the prisons than elsewhere. It has been con- fined mainly to the coast towns, and is not heard of in the interior towns of high alti- tude. It is well to remember, however, that yellow fever is disease of night, and that by taking the precaution of not going out until the sun is well up in the morning, and being in the house when the shades of evening fall and living in upper story rooms if possible. one runs but little risk of being smitten by this dread disease. Yet no rule holds good during an epidemic, and avoidance of the fever-infected districts is the only safe recourse. Always keep away from sections of a coast town in the tropics where the poor, degraded, and vicious live; keep the person clean, change the clothing often, and live among cleanly sur roundings.
 On the whole, Porto Rico has the most salubrous climate and engenders the smallest number of physical ailments among the unacclimated of all the regions of the western hemisphere within the tor rid zone In any country where vegetation grows rank and luxuriant where the suns are hot and the rainfalls frequent, disease is necessarily more prevalent, but Porto Rico has been remarkably free from the scourges which affiict the people of adja- cent isles moreover, 1t should be remem- bered, in summing up the situation, that this fair condition exists on an island where the population is. and has been for centu- ries. more dense than that of almost any other purely agricultural section of the new world.

THE NATIONAL REPUTATION HURT
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the PhIIaueIphla ReCOfu.
 The murder of five negroes and the se- rious wounding of four more at Palmetto, Ga., by a masked mob are events which furnish sad commentary on civilization in one of the oldest, most populous and pros- porous of the southern states. The negroes were suspected of the henous crime of ar son; but they were in the custody of the law, and were entitled to fair trial. The murders were the more atrocious because they were cowardly and sneaking. The poor creatures were unable to defend them selves, and possibly were not guilty of the crime of which they were suspected. Such occurrences blacken the reputation of the nation.
