COTTON MILLS IN ALABAMA.

One OF the surprising Industrial de-
velopments in the South has been re-
vealed in the building and operation oe
many cotton mills in Georgia, Alabama
and other states. It is an economic
axiom that manufactures can best be
established and maintained whore the
raw ma terials are found other sfings
being equal. This explains the new era
3 in the South. A survey of cotton mills
being constructed, in contemplation
and in operation in Alabama makes a
I Wonderful showing, when it is taken
into consideration that not more than
five years ago the industry wes yet
: In its incipiency The number Of cotton
mills, yarn mills, knitting mills and
hosiery plants is becoming larger and
larger every year and in the past two
years has presented itself to the at

more progress in this line OF industry
than any other southern state, with one

plants have been built in that state,

HOW 1T ALL HAPpENED.


The official canvass of election re-
turns establishes the fact that the con-
stitutional convention to revise the con-
stltution OF Iowa must now. be held. In
this there is great danger, for the peo-
pie not wanting any change will pay
little attention to the convention, while
the corrupt corporate interests of the
state will improve the opportunity 10
get in their work andzlet down some of
the bars that have heretofore existed in
the constitution for the protection of
the people. The public should watch
out and not be caught mapping.
The entire vote on the convention was
q mistake. Hardly a soul in all Iowa
wanted a convention to revise the con
stitution, as it is good enough but the
voter mad heard of the biennial election
amendment and wanting to vote for it,
thought he must vote for the conven-
ton, too. since 10 was or the same yell
low ballot. The biennial election was
passed
successfully thru two sessions of the
Iowa legislature and was submitted 10
the voters for adoption.
The convention proposition is one
that is submitted every tenth year. Sec
tion Of article 10 Of the constitution
providing At the general election to be
held in the year 1870 and in each tenth
year thereafter, and also at such times
as the general assembly may by law
provide, the question, Shall there be a
convention to revise the constitution
and amend the same? shall be decided
by the electors qualified to vote fol
members Of the general assembly anc
in case a majority of the electors Sc
qualified. voting at such election fo,
and against such proposition, shall de.
eide in favor Of a convention for suct
: purpose. the general assembly, at ii.
next session, shall provide by law TO
& the election of delegates to such CON
vention." The proposition had nothing
to do with the biennial election amend
rnent which was tosbe voted upon with

BEST DEBATERs IN CONGRESS-.

IFTUlI 7tfIHsItF7 NIaSdZfne.1
The best debaters in the senate are
Chandler, of New Hampshire, and
spooner, OF Wisconsin. Chandler is the
keener and more caussic of rhe two.
spooner has the advantage in the spec
.tacular surprises Of running debate.
Chandler is more feared as an oppo-
nent than any other man. He has a
genius for discovering the vulnerable
point in the enemy's armor, and he is
merciless in sending his weapons home.
Both he and Spooner are invariably
good natured. Neither Of them was
ever known to lcse his temper in de-
bate. The best debaters in the ho,ise
are Cannon. OF Illinois, and Moody, OF
Massachusetts.

GREAT DEBTS SWEPT AWAY.

The present bankruptcy law has been
effective in sweeping an immense num-
her Of dead claims from the boards, and
has released from obligations many
who have since taken new heart and
new courage in life in being relieved
from burden Of debt they never could
have discharged. Many OF these debts,
in fact the most of them, We're just OBJ
legations that ought to have been paid,
tho 1t is not the purpose here to consid-s
Ell the ethical features Of these claims
The law is as nearly equitable to all in
terests as a statute could be framed, and
1t Will probably be continued for some
time to come. As a general feature of
the statutes, however, a bankrupt law
should not be permanently retained. 1t
ought to be an axiom ground into the
fiber Of all business men that all obliga-
tons should be met and every debt
paid; that every individual must niain-
tain his financial Independence by his
own efforts, with out having debts swept
For this reason there is ground for the
belief that it is good policy to repeal at
stated intervals and re-enact laws Of
this kind, but that the rule must be d
basic one that debts shall be paid
To show how the present bankrupt
law has worked and what it has accom-
plished in the short time it has been in
force 1t is stated that during the past
year down to Oct. there have been APP
proximately 20,000ip etitionsiin bankrupt
cy filed in the country. The liabilities
in about $4,000 voluntary cases reported
by referees amounted TO the enormous
sum of $3.50. 100000, and the aggregate of
assets scheduled in these cases was the
small total of s3S,ooo,000 This will give
some idea Of the outworking of the Law.
An Official in Washington has suggest
ed some am endments' to the law to ma ke
it still more equitable and to prevent
subsequent attempts to take advantage
OF the statutes upon the same plane as
the first. These features will probably
be- adopted and the In w ,.et ei,,,d 3sai.s

was considerable difficulty experienced
in getting sufficient number OF hands,
but this trouble u fast wearing out,
and 1t will not be long before there will

are now considered we'll established
plants.
There are innumerable plants thru
out the state in operation, costing from
100000 to 100000. There are now build
ing cotton mills at the following places
in Alabama: Huntsville, Talladega,
Sylacauga, Uniontown. Opelika, Roam
oke, Admission, Mobile and Athens.
These plants will be completed, or
rather majority of them, before next
spring. Other places are also figuring
on the erection Of mills
1t is figured out that in cotton mills,
