F went out at daybreak with their
guns loaded and their best marksmen
on the flank. When the soldiers
passed the crowds of strikers on the
street deliberately turned their backs
to them. However, there was no
hooting or ieering.
Supplementing his order of last
night General Goblin has directed Ma.
jor Gearhart in command to arrest
all women and girls who insult the
troops in any way. The opinion
seems to prevail among the officers
and citizens that the lull in the riot
ing will last but a short time. The
fact that more men went to work to-
day than yesterday is not calculated
to improve the temper of the strik-
ers.

His most special work in Samoa,
however, from a practical point Of

OFFICE OF J. r. LASSITER.

Mr. A. B. GIBARDEAU, Savannah, Ga
DEAR SIR:-SOme years ago | operated float
ing saw-mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
influences. | employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out ofit For this reason, in August and Septem-
Der there was great loss Of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnsons Chill
and Fever Tonic and I determined to give the
medicine trial procured 1t, and those who
sick were put on this treatment and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
well and reported for duty; and from that time
on l used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
J. r. LASSITER.

Southern Memorial Day.

The Ladies' Confederate Memorial
Association of New Orleans is endeav-
oring to have all the Southern States
select a common memorial day upon
which the dead heroes of the Confed-
eracy are to be Remembered. At pres
ent Florida, Georgia and Alabama
decorate graves on April 90; North
and South Carolina, on May 10, and
Tennessee, on May 9. Louisiana has
already shown honors to the dead.
There is lack of unanimity among
the States that made up the Confed-
eracy, and the adoption of a day as
the Southern Memorial Day is now
urged, and it is hoped that some action
will be taken at the Confederate re-
union which meets soon at Dallas.
The ladies of the Memorial Associa-
ton of New Orleans invite all the
States to accept June as a Southern
Memorial Day. This day is the ami
versary of the death of Jefferson
Davis, the first and only President of
the Confederacy, and the suggestion
is certainly good one. There is no
reason at any rate why there should
not be a Southern Memorial Day. If
the reunion accepts June 8, there will
be little trouble in securing its adop-
ton wherever it is customary to honor
the memory of the Confederate dead.
The proposition deserves considera-
ton, and no doubt it will receive it at
Dallas.

Politics.

Now that primaries and candidates are
being discussed, an old observer naturally
reflects upon the uncertainty of politics."
said man who once hed an office.
Politics is very much like poker The
politician plays in luck for while and
then bad luck comes. He is up today and
down tomorrow. In playing poker the
man who has stacks of blue and red
chips almost pities the fellow who has
few; but later in the game luck changes
and the other fellow does the plying.
1.-THE men who were leaders In politics
yesterday are not heard of today. Or
rather. that is the way it often goes. We
have many such examples in Alabama.
EARLY in life l coveted political honors
and my ambition was partially gratified
for a short time. But when L lost out
never tried to regain my hold the
party. l have got used to going along as
private citizen, but somehow or other
cannot help envying the politician who
keeps on top year in and year out-the
exception to the rule.
Now, to cut my remarks short, not
one politician In a thousand who Is called
successful is able to hold his popularity
indefinitely. Defeat will overtake all of
them except the phenomenal successes,

New Southern Mills.

The returns for the first three
months of the present year show a
gain in the South of projected mills
of 42,500 spindles and $50 looms, rep
resenting investments aggregating
SS50,000. The new mills projected
number sixteen. At the same time
fifteen old mills made plans for addi-
lions of 70 1884 spindles and 1928 looms.
to cost altogether $1,5S7,6S Putting
these figures together we see that in
the three months plans were made In
this section for adding 121 1884 spindles
and PATS looms, all to cost about 49,
437 $50.
OF this handsome aggregate Ala
bama is credited with only 1880
spindles-5000 in the Ellawhite mill
at Uniontown, and 12,ov0 in the Lowe
mill at Huntsville. At least dozen
other mills are in contemplation in
this State, but at the best Alabama
moves slowly in cotton manufacturing
in comparison with Georgia or South
Carolina. Georgia planned additions
in the first quarter of the year that
call for $4,000 spindles, and South
Carolina for $4,000. In South Caro-
lima the industry is becoming SO large
that Investigation is creeping in. At
Gaffrey a 100000 plant is going up
that will mercerize cotton cloths, the
first mill to do this work in the South,
and another mill is to be built to make
waterproof and heatproof cloths, such
as are used in the making of gun
cases, pads and the like
There is no reason why Alabama
should be a laggard in cotton manu-
featuring, for she holds fine examples
of successful mills, whether built on
the cooperative plan, as those at Tai
ladega were, of on the capitalistic
plan. as those at Huntsville have been
built. There are successful mills in
all parts of the State, and these mills
should inspire the counties that have
no mills to organize similar ones. No
Alabama county should be without a
cotton mil, not even Winston.

Cecil Rhodes University Gift.

The great bequest of Oxford scholar
ships to Germany, the United States
and the British colonies by Cecil
Rhodes is the work OF dreamer. He
saw in the distant future the Teutonic
nations united for the good Of the
world, and he wished to hasten that
day by bringing their young men to-
gether at Oxford. He saw that such
a combination would become necessary
in order to repress the Slav or per-
haps the Chinese, and preserve the
highest and best civilization. This
may be dream, but in the long run
the Teuton, the Slav and the Chinese
are to possess and dominate a world
that Is becoming smaller every day.

uniting the Teutons at Oxford. As
contribution to the work he provided
for about 100 American scholarships
there, or two from each State and Ter
risory. There will soon be two young
athletic Alabamians at Oxford at all
times hereafter. The will of the dead
man calls for athletes. and Alabama
has them on hand.
The American bequeat really pro-
vides for 1913 scholarships, each at an
expense of $500 year. Here is an
annual outlay of 100000, and when
that sum is capitalized at 4 per cent
it means a bequest Of $4,050,00O. The
magnitude of the gift as we'll as its
far-reaching meaning thus becomes
manifest.
The expenses at Oxford are high,
and it is said the allowance of $l500
a year will scarcely be sufficient to
provide for vacation expenses alone.
If this be true, educational expenses
at Oxford are much higher than they
are in this country. The average
necessary expense at Harvard ranges
from 1915 to 1925; at Yale, from $270
to $500; at Princeton, from $3.50 to
$3.50; at Columbia, from 1887 to 1878;
at Cornell, from $315 to 1865, and at
Johns Hopkins, from 1857 upwards.
These figures are official. At the lesser
colleges still lower figures are posi-

Tho point Of interest relates TO tao

The Nationalists are out of the run

every one in France, or out CT it for
that matter, is awaiting the polling in
the French cities with deep interest.
In nearly all European countries So
cialism is a growing force, and France
is not exceptional.

lawyer reluctantly accepted Office and
formed a ministry June %, 1899, and
he has been at the head of the gov

far exceeding that of any other min

other ministry since the days of Louis
Philippe All indications now point
to a continuance of this ministry. All
have confidence in M. Waldeck-Ros-

Loubet is unbounded, and France will
probably decide to let well enough
alone, even if the Socialists do elect
a dozen or more additional members.
