The American Wool and Cotton Re- porter says that during the first six months of the past year there were 261 new textile mills projected or constructed in the United States, while during the latter half of the year the number was 203, making a total of 464 mills. as compared with 5a1 during 1900. decrease of sixty seven mills. The number of new woollen mills has increased, the total for the year being eighty-one, as compared with forty- three last year. There has been mark ed falling off in the construction of new cotton mills. owing, in part, to the les sened demand for cotton goods in China. No less than 11o new knit goods mills were built last year. The Reporter says that "the number and magnitude of the enlargements and Improvements dur ing the past year have been phenomenal" The Hartford Times notes the interest ing fact is that Northern construction has increased this year. while the falling off has been chiefly in the South" This is pretty good evidence that the spirit of manufacture of cotton into cloth has not died out in the Northern States.

The Advertiser has kept no tab of the Iynchings in the United States during the year 1901. The Chicago Trib- une seems to have done so, and puts the number at 135, which is an increase of twenty over 1900. Of the number lynched, 107 were negroes; twenty-six were whites, one Indian and one Chinaman. The crime of rape did not cut the figure sup posed, as there are only nineteen lynch ings reported for that cause. The follow ing are the other causes given by The Tribune: Murder. 3s; theft, F: murder ous assault, g; attemp,e criminal as- sault, 8; cattle and horse stealing, !; com plicity in murder, 6; quarrel over profit sharing. 5; arson. 1, suspected murder, 3;

WATER OR MUD.

The people of Montgomery are in posi- ton to congratulate any of their fellow beings who are blessed with good water, and to. sympathize with those who are deprived of that blessing. Probably there is no city in the world more fortunate in this respect than Montgomery. Of course there are other cities which have them the supply comes from outside sources which may be. and usually are, contaminated Here We get it from the very bowels of the earth and contamina- tion is practically impossible.
 As a specimen of the just cause of take this extract from a recent editorial in The Lancaster (Pa,) Intelligencer:
 The mud in our water again reminds us of our inefficient government; and coming on washday morning. we assume that there is not a voter in the city who Is head of a household who has not been upbraded by the mistress of the house with the condition of the water; and with good cause, for the women, who do not vote, know that 1t is the men, who do vote, who are prim 1~ily responsible that their water is mud; since it has been mud for so many years, during which it might have been cleaned if the voters had insisted on it and elected proper councilmen.
 Such condition of affairs as herein set forth is both lamentable and discred- itable We do not know the character of the mud in Lancaster, but even if it were as white as chalk it would not be suit able for all domestic uses, and we sus- pect from the tone of The Intelligencer' s article that the mud of Lancaster is none of the cleanest or sweetest. It is bad enough for men to have to drink water thick with earthly matter, even when they can mix something else with 1t, but when the women are forced to depend on such an alleged fluid. for all house. hold purposes. it is high time for vigor- ours and effective kick. If the fault is all in the city government, the female population of the city should make it So warm for the voters that they would force the officials to strain the water, at least.

The esteemed Montgomery Advertiser states that General Miles only 'tacitly expressed his disapproval of the injustice to Schley." Would our contemporary please inform us what it is to "tactly' do a thing? It strikes us that General Miles and his friends are now "tacitly" regretting that he was not more "tacit" in expressing his opinions.-Chattanoog Times.
 The esteemed Times is an adept at hair splitting. Whether General Miles tacitly or positively expressed himself on the subject really makes little difference. so far as the American people are concerned, for they are with him in this instance. That he may have been guilty of viola ton of strict military decorum is possi- ply true. but If it is he did not make half so great blunder as the President did when he publicly censured him. That was wholly inexcusable.

The Norfolk Landmark says:

While the Constitutional Convention is pond ring ov,r the suffrage question, who does it not devote some thought to the admil able qualities of the voting machine, as plainly demonstrated in New York and Michigan? The Yoting-machine Is scrupulou-ly honest itself and is very hard for a dishone.t election officer to lead astray. It l. sinpl quick, and &C., GU ate. If it wol k in New York, where they have the most honest elections In the country, why can il not be usld with success in Vi ginia?
 The Virginia Convention could hardly 60 a better thing than to make voting machines obligatory at all elections. We have all along regretted that such pro- vision was not inserted in our own Con- stitution, for we look on these machines as the best prevention of ballot-boX frauds of anything yet proposed. The plan would work in Virginia or Alabama as well as it does in New York, and it ought to become general in all parts of AhA country,

forms of catarrh, whether in the head, throat, bronchial tubes, or in stomach and liver.
 The remedy is in tablet form, pleasant and convenient to take and no special se- crecy is maintained as to what it con- tains, the tablet being a scientific combi- nation of Blood-root, Red gum and simi- lar Valuable and harmless antiseptics.
 The safe and effective catarrh cure may be found at any drug store under the name of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets.
 Whether the catarrh is located in the nose, throat, bronchial tubes, or stomach. the tablets seem to act with equal suc- cess, removing the stuffy feeling in head and nose, clearing the mucous membrane of throat and trachea from catarrhal se- cretions, which cause the tickling, cough ing, hawking and gagging so annoying to every catarrh sufferer.
 Nasal catarrh generally leads to ulcera- tion, in some cases to such an extent as to destroy the nose entirely and in many old cases of catarrh the bones of the head become di seased Nasal catarrh gradually extends to the throat and bronchial tubes and very often to the stomach, causing that very obstinate trouble, catarrh of the stomach.
 Catarrh is a systemic poison, inherent in the blood, and local washes, touches. salves. inhalers and sprays can have no effect on the real cause of the disease. An internal remedy which acts upon the blood Is the only rational treatment and Stuart's Catarrh Tablets Is the safest of all internal reme, les, as we'll as the most convenient and satisfactory from a medical standpoint.
 pr. Eaton recently stated that he had successfully used Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets in old chronic cases, even where ul ceration had extended so far as to de- stroy the septum of the nose. He says. II am pleasantly surprised almost every day by the excellent results from Stuart g Catarrh Tablets. It is remarkable how effectually they remove the excessive se- cretion and bring about healthy condi- ton of the mucous membranes of the nose, throat and stomach"
 All druggists sell complete treatment of the Tablets at 50 cents and a little book giving the symptoms and causes of the various forms of catarrh, will be mailed free by addressing F. A. Stuart Co.,, Marshall, Mich thu-sa-su.

THE OLD GIN HOUSE.

SWaying pines have grown around it. Trumpet vines with garlands bound 1t. Yellow jasmines climbed and crowned it,
 Laughing down their green and gold; Tendrils through each crack escaping Hide the worn roof widely gaping. Every hole with beauty draping
 In the gin house gray and old. In the morn the squirrels peeping, Der the rafters lightly leaping, With a bark awake the sleeping
 Owl, who blinks up, drowsy- -poled; And at night with sudden stirring Fl om the caves, the wan light blurIiug, Fit the bats With dusky whhring
 Round the gin house gray and old, Oh, the days well-nigh forgotten. When along ;he floor now rotten Waves and waves of snowy cotton
 oft in billowy beauty rolled, While the toileIs wrought a-singtng Mellow Iays that yet ringing Ger the tide If time still winsing
 From the gin house gray and old. Oh, those songs with sweetness teeming. Chasing care and pain Ieleeming! Often still they sOothe my d canning,
 By sad memory softly trolled; And at eve their echoes dying Haunt me meath the pine-tTees lying, Listening to the wind low signing
 Round the gin house gray and old. Lorn is now the old plantation. Fairest spot in all creation; Teardrops choke the sad relation,
 And its sorrow can't be told. Poets lit of ruins hoary over sea in song and story; All must yield in Beauty's glory

rNnEcrNr PLAYS.

The Sacramento (Cal) Bee Is having some discussion on the subject of "In- decency on the Stage" and lays all the blame on the managers of the theatres, asserting, among other things, that the people have to take what is thrust be- fore their noses or stay away from the theatres"
 We do not agree with The Bees con- clusions. The stage is just what its pa- irons make it. The argument that they must patronize indecent plays or stay away from the theatres is without foun- dalton. Let us suppose. for example, that the managers of the Montgomery thea tres should present lot of really inde- cent plays. and that the people should refuse to patronize them. Does any one suppose that the managers would repeat the experiment next season with the prospect. or certainty before them of seeing their houses again boycotted? Would not. their business sense, if they had no better motive to govern them. lead them to book only such plays as the people of Montgomery would patronize? Most assuredly. Those who control our play-houses have two objects in view. They want to mako their business pay whose patronage they depend for support. As The Stockton Record puts it.
 The people have it in their power to elevate the stage. The all-effective boy colt would bring the mercenary mana gers to their senses very suddenly. If the exhibitions and soiled actresses did not pay, they would speedily disappear from the footlights. In theatricals and current literature, the people are given about what they indicate by their patron age they want.
 :: That is the correct argument. The the atre-goers of Montgomery have had little cause of complaint on this score. We sometimes get plays here which are hard ly worth the trouble of going to see, but it is rare that anything like an indecent show is put on the boards. If the people of Montgomery demanded such shows, it would be good business policy for the managers to give them what they want, but we do not believe Montgomery au- olenceS ueSlre Sucn SHOWS or that they would patronize them to such an extent as to make them profitable.
 The Bee argues in support of its posi- tion, that some of the best actors and actresses in the profession act in these indecent plays, and that the people must patronize the plays in order to see the good performers. That argument is as fallacious as the other, and depends on the same false premises. If the people would boycott those actors on account of the character of the plays In which they appeared, how long would they continue thus to drag their talents in the mire? Not two, or at most three, seasons would they allow their names to appear on the play bills if the people would refuse to patronize them. These same good actors. male and female, depend on the patron age of the public for their support, and would fall out of these filthy plays in short order if they had to play to empty benches.
 And so we come back to the starting point, that the stage is just what the people make it.
