Cotton Mills in the South.

The convention Of Southern Cotton
SpinncrS at Charlotte last week brought
ont some interesting and significant state
mcntS.
The convention was attended by a mum
bcr OF cotton manufacturers from New
England, as well as many from every
part of the South.
one OF the most prominent of the east
ern men present was MIR. Arnold i. san
ford, President Of the American Cotton
arm Exchange, BOSTON. In an adtrcS
to the convention, he said:
THE United States has now u ,OOO, 600
SpindlcS, 5,25O,OuO of which are in the
South and l3H15,OOO in the New England
States. by the end Of this year The South
will have 21,UOO,OUO invested in the cot
ton industry.
"IhiS remarkable result is splendid
tribute to the energy and enterprise of
the Southern people, and challenges the
admiration of the business world"
Mr.. Leonard b. raulSon, a leading New
York cotton manufactures, said;
'As to the price Of cotton yarns, am
not prepared to say what the future will
be, but can tell you this nearly all the
SpinncrS of the South, as wcll as those
ct the East, have their products sold Scvr-
raj months ahead, some being sold until
September. Most Of the wcavcrS are also
sold up.
"l he S'nth is qualified to compete for
foreign yarns business. Formerly Il
great many of the yarns YOU are now
producing were m;lHu by the Sew i.nm-
land mills only.
"Thc southern mills are now turning
ont yarns equal not only to those Of New
England, but of old England also, while
IN coarse yarns the South can beat he
wOrld.'
These tributes to Southern ENTERPRISE
as exhibited in the increase and improve

experts and men whose investments and
interests do not lie in the South.

The Legacy Tax Valid.

The most important decision Of
the Supreme Court of tho United
States has rendered since it decided
that the income tax was unconstitu
tional and few weeks afterward
startled The country by reversing its
own declaration, is the decision
handed down last Monday in the
case brought to test the validity of
the Federal legacy tax law, passed in
1898. This case was brought by the
heirs of the late Cyrus Mccormick
and several other millionaircs who
have died since the passage of the
act referred to. The Supreme Court
sustains the tax on inhcrtanccs and
gives very strong reasons for doing
SO.
The first and most important point
established by the decision is its
vindication of the progressive or
cumulative principle in taxation.
The second is the renewed assertion
OF the right of the Federal Govern
mcnt to tax SUGGESTIONS in spite Of
the fact that the transmission
OF property by death is exclusively
a subject of State jurisdiction.
Third, the Court holds that legacy
tax is not Il "dircct tax" and there
fore is not required by the constitu-
ton to be apportioncd among the
States according to population.
The Federal legacy tax applies
only to personal property; the Su-
prcmc Courts decision has no bear
ing on the transmission of realty.
The decision does, however, cstab-
lish the general principle that the
rate Of taxation may Justly vary
with the amount Of property, 80 far
as personally is concerned.
In the decision which was
prophecy Of the more general one
delivered last Monday, namely, that
in the case Of the Illinois Inheritance
tax, Mr.. Justice Mclicnna held that
the Illinois law did not deny the
equal rights guaranteed by the four
tccnth amendment, though the cx-
clause was $500 for distant
kin and $4,000 or near, and the
tax rose for the former, with the size
of the estate from 3 to per cent.
The legacy tax decision will cause
quite commotion among heirs to
large estates bcqucathcd since the
enactment OF the law OF 1898, and
will cause the contribution Of several
million dollars TO the Federal
treasury Atlanta Journal

The Southern on Record.

BY way of answering all carping
criticism the Southern Railway
Company declares its position re-
lativo to the treatment and payment
Of the employees of that system. In
these days of greed and gain, it is
refreshing to read such declarations.
Let no one say hereafter that all
corporations arc soullcss. The
Southern in the person of one of its
chief officials says:
If we have man OH the road any
where who is not properly paid for
what he is doing, as compared with
the general run Of men, or il we
have men ovcrworkcd or badly
treated, we want to know it. We
attach greater Importance to the
loyalty OF our men than We can cx-
press in a money value. We want
the men to be satisfied with us as
much as We want to be satisfied with
them. We attach large value to
the loyalty and contcntmcnt of our
men. There may be places here and
there that will take us long time
to find where some fellow is under
paid or ovcrpaid, or where some
good, worthy fellow is being kept un-
der a cloud. We do not want aman
is in a small place to be under the
power of any one but his proper au-
thority, and then only while he is
properly treated by those proper au-
thoritics. We will cspousc the cause
Of any man, from water boy or en-
gine wiper up, when he establishes
case OF i'll treatment. 1t is no salts
faction to us TO grind anybody; it
is no satisfaction at all to ovcrwork
anybody. The Company is disposed
to treat its men fairly, and will treat
them Justly.

Save the Esy Shells.

Egg shells are valuable. They
should not be thrown away. They
are particularly valuable in the
spring when young broods of chicks
are to be provided for. Little chicks
need grit. They need it from the
very moment they are put out OF
doors with the mother hen. 1t is
the common practice then to stuff
them with dough mixtures cxclu-
s'vcly, and great armies of them are
slain every year by this method Of
feeding. Comparatively few people
know that the addition of some
gritty material at this time would to
a great extent stop this slaughter.
The poultry supply houses have
for sale chick grit, and it is an cx-
ccllent article to keep on hand but
egg shells make pretty fair substi-
tutc for it. Place the shells in the
oven Of the kitchen stove and sub
jcct them to a slow heat until they
are thoroughly dried. They will then
be quite brittle and can bo crushed
into small PARTICLES. Place some Of
this near the coop where the chicks
can get it every day. 1t will save
the lives of many youngsters which
would otherwise fall victims to stom-
ach and bowel troublcs.- Farmers

wander within reach and his long,
glutlnous tongue flashes out so
quickly that the eye cannot detect
it and the victim is gone. The toad
swallows once or twice, winks his
eye placidly, seems to smile and is
ready for as many more of the same
kind as may come his way. Half a
dozen toads in a garden will keep it
free from most of the ordinary gar
den pests. They arc easily tanned
and spend the day in some shady
nook along the fence or under cab
