There is, in a corner of far south
ern state, little factory town, built
in the heart of radiant nature, where
blue skies, shining water and wood
crowned hills form a brilliant back
ground, against which the colorless
life of a cotton-mill people stands in
startling contrast.
Hurrying to and from the mills at
early morning, noon, or evening, you
can see here a throng of weary women.
boys and girls, young in years, and
old in faces-one and all stamped
with the mechanism of work which
has crowded out of their lives beauty,
sweetness, ambition and aspiration.
They live in dreary little houses.
cramped in space, without books, or
pictures. or music, or social enjoy
ment. They have no recreations, no
comforts, and their ignorance of all
domestic science is truly deplorable.
Their homes are seldom we'll kept.
Night workers from the mill sleep al
most all day In many of the houses,
and Saturday afternoon, the half-holi-
day at the mill, is the only available
time for some of the women to attend
to domestic duties. They are always
poorly clad. The flimsy cottons and
cheap worsteds for which they spend
their hard-earned pittance are usually
gaudy receptions. which never wear,
and lose all semblance of color in the
first washing.
Wash-day, by the way, is a movable
feast in this district, for the women
are bound by no fossilized traditions
concerning Monday.

and the house frocks of wool and
silk were trimmed with hand-done
white embroideries, braid, gimp, and
the like. 1t is easier TO wear white in
Paris than in London, for Paris is as
clean a city as can be. and such is the
"contrariness" of life, 1t is also the
city of the cheapest and most perfect
cleansing. The Parisienne may put on
her white frock with light heart.
But even in cities not so clean, white
serge and cloth, carefully worn, keeps
fresh longer than the uninitiated could
believe, and cleans again like new. As

Graceful praperies.

The mirrored gagras, the pictur-
esque skirts of the East Indian women,
make a graceful drapery. One can
buy the genuine skirts that have been
worn by the natives, but not, of
course, so old that they have grown
dingy or faded. Oddly enough, the
skirts are all a-shimmer with squares
of mirror inset, a relic of the crude
decorative instinct of half civilization.
There is q peculiar fascination in
adopting. now and then. one of the
unguided customs of barbarity. The
fascination grows, too, II the element
Of the picturesque crops out The
phulkorries are shoulder shawls worn
quantity over the shoulders of the East
Indian women, and these shawls are
used for graceful drapery to fill an
empty looking spot in the nook.
Such nook with the odd draperies
and equipment named, valuable be-
cause they are genuine importations
from the Orient, would approximate an
expenditure of modest amount. One
may make lifetime hobby of adding
to Its treasures, and eventually an
enthusiast may make its extravaganza
run into the hundreds.

HOUR FOR CHURCH SLIPPED BY

The Minister, Absorbed in Book,
Was Needless Of 1t.
The morning service at the First
Congregational church was delayed
in a somewhat peculiar way Sunday.
The hour for the opening came and
passed, and no one appeared in the
pulpit. The congregation waited, ex-
pecting every minute to see the Rev.
Charles II. Williams, who is occupy
ing the pulpit until the arrival next
month of the new pastor, the Rev,
Albert ]. Lord of Hartford. VT.
Several of the Rev. Mr.. Williams
friends began to grow a bit anxious,
fearing that he was i'll or had met
with an accident. Finally a messen-
ger was dispatched to Mr., Williams
notel. There sat the good man, earn
estly perusing a book, wholly oblivi-
GUS of the passing of the time. He
was greatly surprised when told that
G congregation was anxiously await
Ing his appearance. Hastily tying his
cravat and changing his coat, he hur-
ried to the church.
Mr.. williams in few pleasant
words apologized to the worshipers
for keeping them waiting and causing
any anxiety, and stated that for the
first time in his life he had allowed
the hour to arrive without his knowl'
edge. It would also be, he said, the
last time. AS Mr.. Williams is the soul
OF punctuality. his lapse was some
thing of a joke on him.-Meriden

in Captivity.
An animal is almost as demonstra,
tive when he is hungry as when he Is
in a rage. They are both natural
feelings, and he sees no reason for
Disgusting them. Human beings, who
are affected in the same way as ami
mails by hunger, pay tribute to civili
zation by not letting this appear. Az

occupants of the cages get very wild

vegetables is wheeled around. Long
before 1t gets to their cages the lions
act as if beside themselves over tho
inaddening prospect OF food. The
cages arc very small, and yet a lion
and lioness will often be In one. They
tear from one side to the other, the
lion jumping over the body of the
lioness, rather than make 'longer
trip around" Though they ought to
have learned that each will get a
share, they both plunge for the great
chunk Of meat. Once they get at II,
they eat with certain intensity, but
elaboration.

To remove ink stains from linen
rub the spots with salts of lemon,
keeping it rather moist, and the stain
will disappear without injuring the
fabric. After the stain disappears

be removed from nickel by immersing
the article in kerosene oil for few
days. The rust will become so much

Vicious Campaign Methods.

Birmingham News.
 In another column will be found an ar ticle from The Montgomtry Advertiser in which certain reports about the per- sonal conduct of Governor Jelks are pow en to se a vicious islander. The News cheerfully reproduceS this article in jus tice to Mir Jelks as the man rathen than as a bit of campaign literature. It is conclusively shown that Governor Jelks has been made the victim of a slander- ous rumor to all appearances for politi- cal reasons, and lest anyone should be misled by so vile method of opposition to his candidacy for Governor his atten- tion is directed to the facts as set forth. Those who have for years been acquaint- ed with Govcrnor Jelks in his personal and social life could not be misled by such rumors. for they know that he is q man of exemplary habits.
 But Governor Jelks in becoming a can didate for public office. as does every other man in similar position, becomes a target for criticism. So far as this crit iciSm is confined to his public career so we'll and so good. The people have a right to criticise in legitimate way the official conduct and record of a public servant and Governor Jelks will as q r-minded man, invite fair minded crit icism of his record as Governor of Ala bama. But vile islanders against a man s private life and individual conduct are another proposition. These islanders, while designed to injure him politically, would be calculated to damage the char acter of the man himself as high-ton- ed honorable, Christian gentleman with good financial. social and religious stand ing among his people. did not all who know him prove themselves ready to re flute such vicious rumors. Governor Jelks as Governor and Mir. Jelks as an honor able, cultured citizen of the State should be viewed from two different standpoints. and when ammunition is used in the pO- litical campaign care should be taken to distinguish between legitimate criticism of public career and lies about d man S private life. The character of Governor Jelks is more to him than any political honor the people of Alabama can bestow upon him. He built up that character with the help of good blood in his veins, an elevatng family inflRence, a whole some early training and d true concep- ton of mans duty to his Maker. to his fellowman and to himself He, there fore, has a right to protect 1t against the vicious stabs in the back of a cow ardly enemy who sneakinGly starts and spreads lie at the risk of damaging a gentleman's character wholly and solely with the hope that it may develop into a point of vantage for his own favorite candidate. It has been said that a lie travels q mile while the truth is putting on its shoes. Perhaps so but no cause can ever be justly won by methods based upon the spreading of falsehood. We had hoped that even politics were above this.

Brewton, Ala, Aug. 6. 1902.

Brewton, Ala, Aug. 6. 1902. Editors The Advertiser: In quite a complimentary notice of my speech at Evergreen which appeared in your issue of the 9th inst, is the fol- lowing:
 Tho points made by the speakers in re gard to the unfair statement of the financial condition of the State during and al the close of JOhnSton's administra- ton were received with great enthusiasm, and it was manifest that the audience realized that the ground upon which Johnston based his present candidacy was not solid
 After speaking of their own candidacy, the tributes paid to Governor Jelks to his integrity. his ability and his high sense of honor stirred the enthusiasm of the audience"
 While I appreciate the partiality of your correspondent the above quotation puts me in the attitude of a partisan of Governor Jelks, d position l have been careful not to occupy in this campaign, have never hestated to say that my vote would be cast for Governor Jelks, but being a candidate myself l did not either of the candidates for Governor. In my short speech at Evergreen l did not mention Governor Johnston or his admin istration, but did say that l thought Governor Jelks represented the cause of the new Constitution and that as 1 had heen an advo,at for years of many of the changes in our fundamental law wrought by that instrument l would cast my vote for him in the primary. The financial question or Johnston's administration of the States affairs was not di cussci or mentioned by Colonel Bulger nor me in our speeches,

THE WHITE REGISTRATION
Amounts to More than One Hundred
 and Eighty Thousand.

Tie Advertiser presents below the reg istercd vote of sjxty-three of tho sixty-six counties of the State. Tho three counties rot heard from are Cherokee, Choctaw and Winston. The registration of the other counties foots up 177,n2. The three other counties have. according to the census of 1900. 7.46S white voters. About 50 per cent of the white vote has regis tered and taking that proportion for Cherokee. Choctaw and Washington would be about 5000 and this added to the other would make a total registration of 1S,712. The registration of negroes will not foot up over 2,50O. so that we have a registered white vote in Alabama of at least 1S1,o0O. The tables below give total registration and the number of white voters by counties according to the cen Sus of 1900:

DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses cer- tain signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole field of newspaperdom which comes under It's notice. and one of these signs is the mystic symbol T0] denoting s'golden." which stands for high quality. and is thus explained:
 Advertisers value this paper more for the class and quality of its circulation than for the mere number of copies printed"
 Such papers are credited with a single sym bol; but there is a higher grade. according to this standard authority which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY, and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL toe to describe adequately their standing.
 The Adertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol 1901 and is the only paper so distinguished in this section of the South.
