REFLEC TONS OF a BACHELOR.

From the New York Press. '-f7-'---'--'-
Every girl thinks a kiss is a lot more
sacred to her than 1t is to the other
women she knows.
When man has a piece of bad luck
there is always some woman around to
say 1t Is judgment.
The average woman gets Ibout half her
pleasure in life out of "misunderstand-
ings" with people she likes
A we'll dressed woman looks as IL her
clothes were made for her, but a well
dressed man looks as If he was made
for his clothes.
The world isn't near as pleasant now to
live in as 1t was in ancient times In
those days the women used to have to
kneel down and pray to their husbands
every morning.

NEW YORK's NEW RIVAL.
From the Baltimore News. /

From the Baltimore News.
The chamber of commerce of Galveston,
Tex, has issued a statement reviewing the
from 1892 to 1885, According to the state
ment, the total tonnage of the port for
eign and coastwise entered and cleared
each year from 1892 to 1895, was about
100000. The tonnage in 1897 was 2,100,00O,
and in 1858 it had reached 100000, or
double the tonnage from 1892 to 1895. The
port handled 100000 bales of cotton in
1895, while this year, up to May 1, over g.
100000 bales have been handled.
But it is not alone in cotton shipping
that Galveston has made remarkable
strides. For instance, the shipments of
corn in 1894 were worth only $500; the fol-
lowing year they had increased to 100000
bushels and last year they amounted to
5,400O 900 bushels. No wheat went out Of
Galveston harbor in 1885, but last year
shipments of wheat amounted to II zoe, 900
bushels. The railroads that center at Gal
weston own the warehouses and elevators,
as do those that center at Baltimore, and
shippers, therefore, escape the heavy
charges that are exacted by the trust that
controls these facilities at New York
We commend the figures of Galveston's
exports to New York, which is constantly
complaining that it's trade is being taken
by Baltimore and other southern potts by
means of unjust discrimination. Galveston
has become a great exporting point by
natural selection 1t has added to this adj
vantage energy and push. That explains
the position it now occupies. 1t has be-
come rival and competitor almost in a
night, and will bear watching.

the guns are packed, and we are going to
do it quickly. We are tired of waiting on
Senator Cunningham.

his friend and to keep up his own duties
also. and he has simply broken down.
We hope that those who can will see that
Henry has some attention.

Hopes for the Alabama

Alabamians show no pride of a practi-

Greensboro. Beacon has hopes:
The battleship Alabama is now out at

places over 1000 tons. May she win lau-

in command and Fitzhugh Lee president.

Sweetness of Home Weddings

The Admission Republic thus softly
speaks of home weddings:
There is sweet solemnity about a
home wedding. Those are gathered there
who are close to the bridal party, either by
ties of blood or affection. There are no

attracted simply by the music, flowers and
beauty of the occasion. There is in the
very air sympathy that sweetens and
solemnity that blesses the ceremony.

wheat to make their biscuit instead of
raising four and five cent cotton to buy
it with.

A wilderness of Growth

The Huntsville Mercury prints a some
what paradoxical paragraph regarding the

If a citizen wishes to get some idea of
the business done in Huntsville, he should
stand on Jefferson street at the corner of

Southern railway. 1t will Zoe a surprise to
him to note the wilderness of poles of eV-
cry size, class and description which line
that busy thorougllfare.

Cotton Mills in the South.

No part of the annual report of Secre-
tary Hester of the New orleans cotton ex-
change is more satisfactory than the part
devoted to cotton milling He shows that
the takings of the northern mills during the
cotton year was 095 bales, and of the
southern mills 1.999,399 bales. The number
of mills in the north remains practically
unchanged, while in the south the activity
in mill building has been unexampled.
During the cotton year 100000 spindles were
installed in the south, and there are $4,000
more spndles in plain sight 1t is not too
much to expect a large additional con-
sumption of cotton each year in the south
ern mills, and at the end of five years it is
believed the gap between northern and
southern takings will be closed. Such
remarkable result would remove from the
south stigma that has long rested upon
its energy and enterprise. 1t is surely
coming
Mr.. Hester supplies much valuable in
formation. He shows that the average
number of spindles in the southern mills is
rising, standing at the end of the cotton
year at 1904 As rule the mills of the
south are running night and day. During
the year twenty-six mills were completed,
and ffty-seven are now in course of cree
ton. The total number of mills in tho
south is now $50. The spindle record is
given as follows:

THAT BATTLE
~ BelmOmt, I'm which the
0ritisla Appear to Have
Paid Dearly for Their
victory.

LONDON, November "A, a. m.-
Before anxiety as to the situation in
Natal had been relieved, there comes
news of a great battle at Belmont.
This has Happened sooner than was
expected. Only the official account
IS vet to hand. but 50 far as can be
gathered the fighting appears to have
been almost repetition of the battle
OF Elandslangte. A dispatch of the
previous day estimated that the
Beers in that vicinity numbered two
thousand and that they had five
guns, and Judging from the absence
of any statement TO the contrary in
the official report, it is believed
the British were slightly superior
in numbers to the enemy. The Beers
had chosen position with their Gus
tomary skill and were strongly in
trenched The British were obliged
to carry three ridges in succession.
Apparently the Guards bore the
brunt in carrying the last ridge by a
bayonet charge. after its defenders
had been shaken with shrapnel.
Nothing is said as to whether the
positions so gained were held, and
the destruction of ammunition seems
to indicate that the contrary was the
case. While General Methuen can
be congratulated upon a brilliant
victory, it is again at the cost of a
heavy loss of officers and men.
