Cotton Mills in Madison.

Huntsville has three cotton mills and the
construction. The Oldest mill. established
many years ago, has recently declared
semi-annual dividend of 10 per cent. Semi
annual dividends of that size are very rare
in any industry, but the Huntsville Mer-
curry goes on to show that other dividends
went with the 10 per cent just divided
among the stockholders of the Huntsville
cotton mills corporation.
A dividend of two dollars a bale was paid
to the growers of cotton in Madison county
at the same time. 1t is still in the course
of disbursement That is to say the mills
of Huntsville are paying that much more
for middling cotton than would have been
paid if there had been no mills in Hunts
Vile. This is, says the Mercury, a dividend
aggregating $4,000, which is distributed
from day to day to the farmers of the
county. There are other dividends. As
matter of fact there is scarcely a man,
woman or child in Madison county who
does not receive in some form a dividend
from Huntsville's mills.
Towns in Georgia and the two Carolinas
ere freely securing such dividends but the
towns of Alabama are very backward in
industrial development of this nature.
Every county town in the three states
named is moving to build cotton MILL
If it already has a mill, it organizes
movement for another on, perhaps, the
instalment plan. The indications are that
Georgia will in the course of few years
crowd either of the Carolinas for first
place. But Alabama is not crowdlng Geor-
gia or North Carolina or South Carolina.
Small mills are not complated in this state
In Georgia they build a 3,OOO-spindle mill if
they cannot build a larger one They build
from local capital which is much better
than building from foreign capital If the
Alabama towns would study the history of
Huntsville they would have a key to the
entire story, and this article would not
need moral.

prosperity which 1t has hitherto had to
view from affair.""
1t is difficult 10 see how any harm can
come from holding back cotton at this
stage Of the seasons marketing. Mr.. Neil
was at last accounts still reiterating his
belief in great crop; the prevailing dry
weather is opening the bolls rapidly, and
heavy receipts would be at once utilized
for the purpose of forcing down prices.
Enough cotton will be brought in by those
whose circumstances compel them to mar
ket without delay their crops, and every
producer or merchant who can hold back
even a single bale should do SO until
level is established that is satisfactory to
producers instead of spinners We see no
harm in all the holding back that IS feast
BILE and possible. Not a bale should be
brought in that can be held. If it can not
be held two months, hold it back one
month. If it cannot be held thirty days,
hold it fifteen days, or any other number
of days. The Niellites are looking for
heavy receipts as their own justification.
Don't let them have such basis to crawl
out on.

THE CURE FOR MONEY sQUEEzERs

From the Richmond Times.
Here we are with such prosperity as the
country has rarely enjoyed, with mex
haustible resources and credit, with the
government vaults overlooking with
money, and yet there is a squeeze in
Wall street and a clamor throughout the
country for currency which cannot be sup
piled Such a condition is hardly less than
dsgraceful to a great government like ours
and it brings the people to reflection. Our
currency system is wretched and it all
grows out of the fact that the government
is trying to do the banking business of the
land instead of permitting the banks to
perform all their proper functions. 1t is
marvellous to us that with such facts be-
fore them men will say that the banks
should be prohibited altogether to issue
money and that all the money of the coun-
try should be issued by the government
The government has no direct means of
issuing money to the people, but the banks
have. If the government would only go
out of the banking business altogether, re-
move restrictions from banks and let them
issue currency to the people In response to
the demand of trade there would be an
end to money "squeeZes' in New York and
to currency famines throughout the coun-
try.

war in the Transvaal would affect
every nation almost every individual, in
the world. for much over one-auarter Of
the worlds output of gold comes from tho
mines about johannesburg The estimated
product Of the present calendar year has
been $loO,0Oo,OQO, but the industry is now
in a sadly disorganized state. Miners are
leaving, and every department of the vast
work is in a disturbed condition.
In the case of the outbreak of actual
hos lilltles it is difficult to see what the
effect upon the gold mines would De. Ths
Transvaal organ in London has threatened
the mines and reduction plants with de-
structlon through the use of the dynamite
A vast deal of damage could be accom-
plished with a few charges of dynamite;
but the Beers will scarcely care to kill the
goose that lays golden eggs if they can
hold the mines. The chances are that they
will not destroy them in any event.
If the British troops can hold Laings Mex
tunnel, they can quickly send troops 10
johannesburg, and can thus hold and pro-
tect the gold mines and gold plants, and
this is the more probable course of events
1t war come it is reasonably certain that
England will endeavor to make it short,
both on account of the great expense, and
of the output of the gold field. Any pro-
longed suspension of gold mining in the
Transvaa would disarrange English
finances very considerably, and no other
nation would wholly escape on the same
account monetary disturbance OF some de-

Holding Back Cotton,

There is says the New Orleans Times
Democrat in the course of discussion of
the rise in cotton. "a certain danger that
the disposition to hold back may be carried
too far, but any tendency in that direction
will cure itself OF course, one extreme Is
quite as bad as the other. Every merchant
and planter should have care, lest he I'M
dertake more than he can perform, and
thus place himself at the mercy of his

The present advance will greatly change
the aspect of affairs throughout the south.

THE TUNE THE OLYMPIA PLAYED

George A. Beckenbaugh in the New York
Times.
o Piper with thy whistling reeds, Ia
And lip so lightly curled.
Now prithee tell us of thy deeds
Since wandering through the world.
/
And the Piper made answer, as the air
Came up from the sea and tossed his hair;
'Where the mermen swim in the tepid sea,
And the sirens wave their wands;
Where the Mongol grinds his snickersnee
Meath the palm-tree's feathered fronds;
There | took my way beneath the moon,
When the night was sweet and still,
And ] played upon my reeds a tune
That did their marrows chill"
And what was the burden of that lay
You piped to the folks of far Cathay?
" Twas medley: low and sweet at first,
AS nightingale at eventide;
And then it changed and grandly burst
AS a Cossack singing to his bride:
And then methought to make it seem
As pack of wolves that howl at night
And the folws which waking rise and
scream
AS they dart away in troubled flight.
Nor did | cease; blew again;
I Knocked the thunder with my notes
Till now it seemed million men
Did burst from hell with shriekng
throats."

What did they say those folks, to you?

Four State Elections.

If there be those who think the coalition
ticket in Nebraska for judicial officers will
be beaten in November. they should study
tie reports of Mr.. Bryans campaign adj
dresses He is stumpng the state, and his
speeches show that he has lost none of MS
matchless skill and power. He is every
where met by great audiences, and he puts
before them the issues of the day, both old
and new, with a shrewdness of skill thai
his opponents cannot approach. Even In
Republican circles it is conceded that he
will again carry Nebraska, for the pending
campaign is practically regarded as pre-
| liminary movement of the presidential race
next year.
Mr.. Mckinley is also doing his best TO
carry his own state. He is fully aroused
to the dangers that beset the Nash ticket
in Ohio. The Republican party in that
state is full of uncompromislng dissensions,
some of long standing, and some SO recent
that they are directed chiefly against Mr..
Mark Hanna. Mr.. Hanna is indeed
frlghtful load to the party. He has as
sumed the office of boss again, and this
alone will cost the Republican party thous-
can victory assured, although that party
ed by about ten per cent in the last cleo
ton.
The Kentucky election would be a walk
over for Mr.. Goebel if Governor john Young
Brown had not promoted a split, finally
accepting the nomination of the boilers for
Governor. The Republican nominee, Mr.
Tyler, is a country lawyer of little force or
prominence He will not poll the full Re-
publican vote, and it is not believed that
Governor Brown can win enough votes to
over a weak Republican nominee. M.
Goebels election by majority reduced be-
low customary figures is anticipated.
"A Democratic victory in Maryland seems
