Atlanta's Beaaars and Iramps.
Tn The Age-Herald's news eolmuns Ehis paragraph recently appeared:

III AO A5C-4ACtoAd 4CHo his paragraph recently appeared:
 Since the chiefs ultimatum to the beg gars and street fakirs there has been fresh list of arrivals. and most of them hail from Atlanta. Chief Austin com mented at length yesterday afternoon on the number of bad characters he enter tains from Atlanta, and In conclusion stated that, he had no intention of allow : ing the people of Birmingham to feed Att ilauta's indigent population.
 The sending of the poor and worth less back and forth between the two towns is an endless and really pitiahle task, and yet if Atlanta persists in sending to this town it's heggars and tramps no other course seems to be feasible. unless indeed Birmingham establishes quarantine against At, lanta.
 The evil is beyond State control be. cause it involves interstate travel if nOt ldllC, anu IuuS DeCOl1eS d SuD- ject that calls for federal action. The shipping by one State of beggars and tramps to another State is really an important question, and a federal law concerning it is desirable if one can be devised that would not bring in moro evils than it would terminate.
 All who are brought in contact in cities with the submerged tenth" know that the evil is very prevalent that ons city ships away its beggars and tramps, with now and then a known criminal. to the nearest town, with a warning against return under any circumstances. No return coupon is of course furnished. They are billed straightgto the next town. This 'prac. tice should be stopped. Atlanta may be the chief wrongdoer in this respect, but other towns are guilty of the dis reputable and indefensible practice. It should be stopped, and if there is no other way to stop it, let quarantines be established at State lines.

Virginia Politics.

T read a paragraph fin New York paper relating to Virginia politics, which was very misleading" said Richmond drummer at the Hillman.
 Ut was stated that Governor-elect Montague was not the first choice of the Virginia Democratic organization for Governor. It is true that he was not the choice of Senator Martins machine. but many members of the state commit tee supported him and he had walk
 over in the primaries.
 Montague will probably be candidate for the United States Senate against Martin. He is aggressive and popular and while he might not be able to beat Martin he would give him close run. Senator Daniel has never had opposi- tion since 1885 when he defeated the late John S. Barbour, who was elected two years later. Ever since 1855 Daniel has been elected by the Legislature by ac- clamation. But there is an anti-Martin faction which seems to grow in strength"

New Cotton MilIa.

 fers to group all textile mills, and it Is necessary to separate the figures representing new cotton mills from the rest in order to see what progress has been made in the present half of the year 1901. In that time 76 cotton mills were constructed or planned in the country. This is 22 less than the output of the last half of the previous year, but it is fair result when the unsettled condition of the Chinese trade is considered
 Where were the 76 new mills placed? Eight are credited to Ala bame. This list purports to show all new enterprises of this nature in the closing six months of the year:
 Alexander City knitting mill contem- plated by Benjamin Russell.
 Athens, Limestone hosiery mill, cost s15,OOO, capacity 200 dozen pairs per day
 Birmingham, knitting mill contempla-
 
 ted by w. J. Oswald.
 Birmingham. a new knitting mill by J. H. Fowle, J. A. Yates, ct al., capacity, 300 pairs hose per day, capital, s50,O00.
 Childersburg, new cotton mill by Frank Rich and associates.
 Dothan, new cotton mill proposed by D. c. Carmichael and others, to run 300 looms and 10000 spindles.
 Gadsden, company formed with $25,O0 to build knitting mill.
 Huntsville new cotton niill the tenth for the town, proposed, plant to cost up- wards of $5OO.OO0.
 Huntsville, Eastern Manufacturing Company, new mill, with $50,0oO equip ment.
 Huntsville a 5000-spindle mill for hosiery yarns by the Madison Spining Company.
 Pell City, new cotton mill to cost s6O,OOO, under construction.
 Scottsboro, Broadus cotton mills, in- r 'corporated, capital, s5O,0O0 new mill Sheffield, new 5000 spindle cotton mill assured.
 Talladega, new hosiery mill, 25 knit UnS, SIX rlDDlnBs tWO SeWinB iHuCnllSSt by w. M. Franks and others.
 But the Demopolis mill is not named, and the Pell City mill is much under rated. However, Alabama is given credit for mills; Georgia, with 10; Mississippi, with z; South Carolina, II; North Carolina, II; Louisiana, 8; Texas, T; Virginia, 8; Tennessee, 8; Arkansas, 8; Indian Territory, la to- tai of CT, leaving just 9 cotton mills to the rest of the country.
 The Wool and Cotton Reporter, published in Boston, seems to find great comfort in the statement that the comparative loss falls wholly upon the South" The South can stand the loss while it builds 67 out of 76 mills, for it shows which way cotton manufacturing is drifting.
 The figures presented do not in- clude knitting mills, of which 52 were built or projected in the closing six months of the year. Alabama secured 5 of these mills; Georgia, 4; Florida, 9; Maryland, 1; North Carolina, 10; South Carolina, 2; Texas, i; Virginia, s; West Virginia, 1-total, 31 This is more than one-half. and 1t goes to show that all kinds of cotton manufac- turing are drifting this way.
