After return from a tour of South

Il found that many of the spinners are
doubling their capacity. and in doing so
they are putting in improved machinery
and preparing to make the finest classes
of goods They will no longer be content
to manufacture the cheaper fabrics, but
will go into the production of the high
est grades on an extensive scale. Espe-
clally is this true in the case of wooden

ton of Jeans"

THE BIG TOURIST MOVEMENT.

Jacksonville Times-Union Illustrating
the magnitude of the tourist movement
this year and the facilities which the
transportation companies are offering to
handle it, it may be stated that there
were arriving and departing from Jack
sonville yesterday sixty-three passenger
trains. Among these are not included
mixed trains or trains, carrying freight.
This will be about the number during
the season-that is. for some ninety days.
While the trains are not always crowded
to their capacity, the railroad companies
in determining the amount of passenger
accommodation to be offered must have
in view the demand for 1t, so that this
movement of trains furnishes some data
from which the extent of the travel to
and within Florida may be guessed. Es-
timating three coaches to train, sixty
three trains could comfortably carry more
than 1lOOO passengers a day. and while
ii is not claimed that the movement actu-
ally approaches this figure, the general
inference may be had from it that the
travel is enormous, even beyond prevail
ing Impressions with regard to it.
