New Plant of Anniston Knitting Mill
 Ready to Open Up.

Anniston, May 16.-(Special. .)-The new plant of the Anniston Knitting Mill Com pany is almost ready to begin operation, and the mill will be in full operation by the first of next week. This company was recently formed in Anniston. the stock holders being A. l.. Tyler, Jr., w. W. Stringfellow and E. L. Tyler. all of this city. MT. A. l.. Tyler will manage the plant, having resigned his position as manager of the local plant of the Central Foundry Company, and being succeeded by E. P. Cooper
 When the new knitting mill starts up 1t will give to Anniston her ninth textile manufacturing industry. Five of the nine textile plants have been started here this year, and are now in full and successful operation. The textile mill of the Annis- ton Manufacturing Company, the mill of the Woodstock Company, the mill of the Anniston Yarn Mills Company, the mill of the Adelaide Company, the cordage plant, the carpet mill, the bag mill and the knitting mill.
 The products of these plants are ship ped to all parts of the world, thus great ly advertising not only Anniston, but the State of Alabama as well. The carpet mill was started up here two years ago as an experiment by persons in Philadel- pha. Since then it's capacity has been more than doubled, and it is now thought the mill will again be greatly enlarged. Nine large and prosperous textile plants, to say nothing of the large number of iron industries, would make big show ing for any city, and the fact that An niston has them at once demonstrates the truth that capitalists are fast seek ing places in the south In which to in- vest. Every investment here on textile lines has paid good returns. It Is not at all improbable that several other large textile plants will soon be located in An niston.

WiIl Broaden the Guane.

Mexico City, May 16.-It is reported on excellent authority that the Ma tional railroad between this city and Laredo will begin to broaden the guage, making the road a standard guage, which has long been cher ished idea of President Caroul.

Florence. S. C., Nov. 2s. 1900.

I was first advised by our family physi- clan In Charleston to use TEETHINE with our baby when she was but a very young infant as a preventive of collie and to warm and sweeten the stomach. Later 1t was useful in teething troubles, and its effect has been found to be so very bene- ficial and so free from the dangers that are consequent upon the use of drugs and soothing syrups that we have come to re- gard it, after use with three children, as one of the necessities when there is a new baby in the house and until the teethng troubles are over, and we take pleasure in recommending 1t to our friends instead of the horrid stuff that so many people use to keep their babies quiet.

THE STATE PRISON.
Report Of warden smith and the Other
0faeiaIs.

In his annual report Captain Hillman
Smith. warden OF the Maine State prison
at Thomaston, gives his reason why the
Institution lie not seIf-supporting ~ the
fact that so many OF the prisoners are
sent for short terms. He says that the
majority OF his boarders do not stay in
the work shops long enough to become
efficient workmen, and do not earn their
salt, so - speak. He points out the fact
that two-Jears man is not worth much
In carriage shop, and the same IL true
Of the harness department.. and so they
are sent TO the broom mandatory. He
also calls attention to the need OF sum-
Client funds in order that he may take
advantage OF discounts as any successful
business man must do In these days Of
close competition. He says that with
sufficient money at his command TO pay
caah for oil purchases he could rave sew
sral hundred dollars each year.
warden smith estimates that more tnan
so out CT 90 sentenced to the prison during
the year 1889, are OF no benefit to ths
State.
Tbs carriage department shows a gain
of $i426 81; the harness department Of
t<nots4J, but DfOun ucpNFtincut, Fstut.Ol !
the furniture department, Sl692 ~.
The prison inspectors report that not SO
many goods have been manufactured In
the different departments owing TO this
fact that this average number OF oonvicts
has been t37 less. While the gains have
bsen fair, far better results could have
been obtained had the warden enough
money to conduct the different branches
ON business principle. The legislature
will be asked to appropriate enough
money 70 meet all outstanding obligations
next two years,
The inspectors strongly recommend o
matron for the prison to serve in the
female department., stating that $500
Should be added to the appropriation ana
set aside for this purpose, the appoint
Inent OF the matron to be left with the
