 There are some errors in this list, but Boston paper could scarcely keep up with all local movements in Ala bama to the polnt of absolute accur- acy. It fairly presents the textile ex- tensions of the first six months of the year, and it shows that Alabama is one Of the/ Big Four in the great industry in the South.-
 . In the six months named 45 new mills were started in North Carolina, 36 in Georgia, 31 in South Carolina, and 27 in Alabama. These four are fast becoming the cotton manufactur- ing States of the Union. Texas is fifth in .ne list far as new enterprises of the first six months of the year are concerned, and luel oil will be apt to promote the building of new mills in that State hereafter.
 Alabama is another State of cheap fuel, and there is no reason why every
  one of the sixty-six counties in the State should not have at least one cot ton mill For some reason county towns in this State are not as ready to build cotton mnls as such towns are in Georgia and the two Carolinas There will soon be as many mills in lne State as there are counties, but they are clustered here and there, leav- ing many counties without a mill, whereas every county should have at least one. Unless every Alabama county begins to take steps to build a mill, Texas will outstrip us after while, and this State will no longer be one of the Big Four.
