haven't to go some other state

not a long story published in
Missouri Valley about a resident
in Kalamazoo, Mich, or Tampa,
Florida. It's about resident
of Missouri Valley and given in
his own words. No stronger
proof can be had.
H. S. Cox, retired druggist,
says: "For several years I
have had attacks of a dull ach-

They were always more in evil

about Doan's Kidney Pills and

they might at least help. Going

THE COTTON INDUSTRY
(COntlnued from Page One )

South. Despite the efforts made in other countries to develop cotton grow ing, which are but repetitions of sim tliar efforts made during the last three- quarters of a century. actively pushed between 1S40 and 1850 and again be- tween 1860 and 1865, the South will continue to hold a practical monopoly of the worlds cotton production. It had the energy to create this industry an energy equal to that which created the cotton mill interests of New Eng land, and 1t will have the energy and capital, backed by a century of expe- rience, to retain control of cotton pro- duction. The South is adding to it's cotton production. now and likely for many years to be on a profitable ba- sis, great cotton manufacturing in- dustry.
 "Of this growth so much has been said, and 1t has, indeed, been so rapid that the question has often been asked if it has not reached its limit. The answer is found in the simple state ment that supplying three-fourths of the cotton for the 10000, 900 spindles of the world, the South still has only about s,000,O00 splndles and the Uni ted States only about 23.000, ,0O0. We are still shipping to Europe 60 per cent of our raw material every year. al- AiAOSt tlS uHGCOHOHllC dS IL WOuId De to ship our iron ore instead of turning 1t into the finished product here While it may take a few years to adjust the conditions in the South to enable that section to largely increase It's cotton production by an increased supply of labor and improved machinery. 1t may be accepted that the South will within a few years be prepared to meet the utmost needs of the expanding cotton consumprive requirements of the world.
 Tt is not to be expected that the South will ever manufacture it's en- tire cotton production. for when 1t has reached the point where it consumes in It's own mills the 10,500. .000 bales which now measure it's average crop the world will be demanding of it, and 1t will meet the worlds demands of probably 20,0O0. 900 bales But the util- lzation in it's own mills of 100000 bales would mean the employment of million operatives, the investment in mills and textile machinery plants of not less than $2,O0O. 900, 900. and the an- nual output would be worth $2, ,O0O, ,0Oo.- 900. Then. indeed, would the South be the dominant factor. the centre of the worlds cotton mill business. The South sees before it this prize, prize great enough to enrich an empire. and for it's control it has entered the race. That 1t will win admits of no dues- tion."

 Tho judges replying to him have assured him that they would heartily cooperate with him in having such prisoners given an immediate and speedy trial when tEere was danger of mob violence.
 IL wfli be recalled that after the lynch ings in Baldwin and Autauga County and after Judge w. s. Anderson of the First Circuit had declined to order a special term of the Circuit Court of Baldwin County the Governor addressed letter to all the Circuit Judges of the State drawing attention to she great evils of lynch law and asking their cooperation in securing speedy trials of prisoners chsrged. with certain offenses in order that lynching might be abolished in Ala bama.
 The Governor intimated that If 1t was necessary he would cail the legislature to- gether in special session to clothe the Governor with power to order a special term of a Circuit Court to give pris- oner a speedy trial. The replies received so far except that of Judge Anderson indicate that the Circuit Judges of the State are in accord with the Governor in. his efforts to reduce iynching in Ala bama.
 Judge T. s. Sayre of the Autauga Coun- ty Circuit Court has not replied to the Governors letter in reference to the lynching of Gaines Hall. a negro in that County.
 At the Capitol yesterday it was said that the Governor was powerless to do apvth;xr about tho ivpchiuuz fY, Raldxvin County in the face of the refusal of Judge Anderson to investigate the crime. Judge Anderson holds that 1t Is the duty of the Governor to order special term of the court. Governor Cunningham has been advised by Attorney General Wilson that there is no valid law under which he may order session of the court.
 Governor Cunningham has not indi- cated what course he will pursue.
