NO ACTION TAKEN.
COUNCIL REFERS THE BOND
INTEREST MATTER.

There was a meeting of the council
manic board last night to consider the
Judgment rendered against the city
in the federal court in the suits for in
terest on the over-the.river railroad
bonds. The total amount is els, 900,
Of which sS.2s2 was paid Monday.
Nine thousand dollars has been lev.
led this year to pay a portion OF it,
but has not yet been collected, or II
IL has, has been spent for something
else.
Solicitor worten, when asked his
opinion, showed from the charter that
the city can borrow 80 per cent of ex.
pected collections pending their re-
oeipt, and also where the city has a
right to borrow money to pay off an
unexpected judgment.
There seemed to be a sentiment in
favor Of paying of the entire debt at
once, and the matter was referred to
the mayor, city solicitor and finance
committee to investigate and report
on what is best to do.

DEvoURED BY WORMS.

Children often cry, not from pain,
but from hunger, although fed abund-
antly. The entire trouble arises from
insnition, their food is not assimilst.
ed, but devoured by worms. A few
doses of Whites Cream Vermifuge
will cause them to cease crying and
begin to thrive at once, very much to
the surprise and joy of the mother.

A GREAT PRODUCTION.

without doubt Elmer Walters pro-
duction Of Lawrence Russell's great
play is one Of the most elaborate
ever given to a play of its class.
The first act shows a typical village
depot with its trucks, moving trains,
loafers and other characteristic eq uip-
ment; the second is the Church OF
the Holy Gross, one of the handsom-
est church settings ever made; the
third act shows the exterior and also
the interior of an opera house with
the curtain up and the performance in
progress, a very unique and thrilling
effect; the last act is the interior OF
a country tavern with its grandfath-
er's clock, old.fssbioned fireplace and
quaint trsppings of past itself that
must not be overlooked, as it is posi-
lively the strongest one Of its kind in
the dramatic field. A strong story
with an abundance of comedy and the
most beautiful finale ever given to 9
play; it certainly deserves the sue
cess it has attained. Not a word ID
spoken for at least two minutes before
the final curtain. At The Kentucky
Saturday matinee and night. Seats

The New South.

It is not strange that the new south is drifting away from the dem ocratic party The young men whose energy and ability have built up great industrial empire in the southern states recognize that their prosperity has its origin in republican policies. and more and more are they turning to the re- publican party as the exponent of the modern spirit of progress. Some figures of southern advancement collated by the Manufacturers Record from cen sus bulletins present a striking and sig nificant record of material progress during the two census decades. It is shown that from 1880 to 1900 the value of products in the southern states in creased, in round numbers, from s1, 134. coo. .OOO to g. .S44. .O00, ,O00-a ratio of 157 per cent, while population increased but Al per cent. Farm property in- creased in value 72 per cent, while the farm products increased g per cent. While a considerable share of this in crease was due to the advance in cot ton prices between the census years in dicated, a large proportion is to be credited to actual expansion of agri cultural operations and the introduc- tion of up-to-date methods of cultiva tion. The advantage thus gained is permanent, independent of accidental market conditions, and a strong in ducement and incentive to industrial and speculative enterprise throughout this favored section of the union.
 Even mere interesting to the econom- ic statistician is the story of manufaC- turing development in the south. when reduced to a few columns of plain fig ures The fertile areas whence are drawn the semi-tropical products of world consumption no longer serve as mere storehouses of unfailing supplies of raw materials. Cheap transporta tion by land and water; enormous in crease of production under intensive modern methods; inventive genius as applied to machinery; the presence of q pedcSdDl6 and other scarcely less potent consid- erations have combined to attract large amounts of new capital for investment in southern manufacturing enterprises. In 1880 the manufactured products of the south were worth. in round num- bers, S451 OO6. .OO0: in 1900 they are esti- mated at s1,463, ,OOO, ,OOO During the twenty years in question the rate of increase in capital invested in manu- factures in the south has been34S per cent For the entire United States the rate has been 9 per cent Similarly, the value of products in the south in- creased 220 per cent; in the United States 142 per cent.
 These are amazing comparisons, yet they only set forth mathematically the results of a movement of industrial and commercial regeneration and advance ment that is none the less noteworthy and impressive because it has taken place under our very eyes and in our own time. And the new south is scarcely out of swaddling clothes as yet.

Saving in the South.

An inquiry made last week by a WorkinGman's wife whether any of the banks of the city receive small deposits was interpreted to be whether banks here accept or open accounts in small sums, and the answer given was that the paper was informed that the banks do not take accounts in less than $50 As this was not strictly an answer to the question asked. although we be- lieve was an answer to the spirit of the question. some fun ther question has been raised. It is well to say that the banks, after an account is opened in the sum of $50 or more. do receive ad- ditional deposits in any sum. however small it may be q nd some of the banks allow interest on time accounts.-Mo- bile Register.

Having talked themselves nearly to a standstill about the achievement of Captain Clark in bringing the battle ship Oregon through the Straits of Ma gellan (nOt around the Horn. as has been published countless times) and putting her into action at the battle of Santiago, the emotionalists for the first time should pause to consider by what means the gallant captain was enabled to accomplish that wonderful feat. A belief is growing in the navy that her engines brought the Oregon around. Who controlled the engines. kept them going. prevented journals from getting hot. governed their speed and made sure that they did not suffer the usual breakdown? l guess that genius was Robert Wiley Milligan.
 Did you ever hear of Milligan, chief engineer of the Oregon on that most famous of all voyages since Jason sought the Golden Fleece? l trow not Like Brer Rabbit, he seems to have lain low.

"The negro question seems to be in a fair way to settle itself in Cuba without recourse to the aid of philan- thropic societies or governmental reg ulations" remarks the Philadelphia Mexican Journal. Major Gorgas tells us in his report on the vital statistics of the cities of Havana and Guanaba- coa that during the month of January in those cities the native whites showed an excess of 1SS births over deaths that is the figures were 451 and 269. whereas the native negroes showed an excess of IS deaths over births; this is to say, the figures were 12S to 70. The figures for the year 1901 are even more significant. During the twelve months the native whites gained 1140 and the native negroes lost 513, making a total gain for the natives of 1927 inha The deaths of foreigners brought the though it must be remembered that the number of foreigners dying indicates
 that the city is gaining rapidly inpop-

 will soon be no negroes left in Cuba
