Money ys. Medals.

We are all rejoiced to find again our D. A. R. column, with its chapter news, and other items of general interest. May claim space there for a slight discussion Of the subject of prizes, as now offered to students for historical and other wofK' Tn our recent conference at Montgomery opinion was divided in regard to the pIize to be offered the D. A. R. many iaoies being in favor of giving sum of money. while that idea was strenuously opposed by those in favor of medal.
 Like Sir Roger de Beverley. we think s'much can be said on both sides. A medal certainly removes the "mercenary eaint'' many fear to inculcate by the xift of money, and yet grave objections have been raised against medals. GOV ernments, in conferring them for special ar distinguished service, have often caus- ed them to be made for special or dis tinguished service, have often caused them to be made of bronze or other metal not valuable in itself, lest their owners should pawn or sell them, or they De- come an attractive object of theft. Medals can never be worn unostentatiously. ana if their owner would preserve meek and lowly spirit" the medal becomes sim ply something to be locked up for safe keeping. Should it be won by a girl stu dent, 1t is ten chances to one she would prefer a more modest form of 5eweiry; something which might mean more to the wearer than would be apparent 10 the casual observer.
 The fact is students themselves would rarely choose to have prize in the form of a medal, and 1t Is by no mems the sien of a ''mercenary spirit" that they should prefer the gift of money. Think of the financial strain put on a large proportion of our homes in order to give the boys and girls a collegiate training. Can you wonder that student should exclaim, as I once heard one do dhen looking at a gold medal recently won. But if 1t had only been in money, 1t would have helped so much! It Is longing to earn something that shall lit the burden at home, or shall help to make it possible for the younger brother or sis- ter to come that makes student thank full for prize in money. doubt If 1t ss ever a mere love of the money. in itself
 Our State holds so many students scarcely able to bear the expense of college training, yet so eager for it, and these make most faithful, earnest work CTS. When it is In our power to assist them, when we can reach out to them a helping hand. shall we fear to do 1t lest we make them ''mercenaryr'
 Until q larger proportion of our stu dents come from homes of wealth and luxury that danger seems less to be fear ed than that we should withhold the help we might offer. Let us not allow an aes- thetic preference to make us blind to the real good. M. W. M.

 The Montgomery Advertiser says that one difficulty in getting foreigners to set tie in the agricultural districts of tine South is the fear of isolation and being surrounded by negroes. In the opinion of our contemporary, the remedy for this Is to locate such immigrants in small col onies, so that a number of families will be free from tSe ' Ioneson,e escm which nat

COTTON IN INDIA.
Textile Industry on the Increase Thara

There.
 Washington, Feb. 3.-(Special)-The following bulletin published to-day by the Department of Commerce and Labor on the subject of the cotton-textile industry of India Is taken from communication of United States Consul hlchard Gu'9I- ther at Frankfort, Germany: ~- The Frankfort Commercial Gazette states that the efforts of cotton-produc- ing countries to establish factories for manufacturing raw cotton simultaneous ly with it's cultivation have led to great increase of the cotton-textile in- dustry in India.
 In 1883 there were in operation 62 fac tories, with 1,554,000 Spindles and 15,OOO looms; in 1903 the numbers had increas- ed to POI factories, with 5,164.00 spindles and nearly 44,OOO looms. Of these fac tories 113 were for spinnig exclusively for weaving only, and S4 for spinning and weaving.
 Seventy per cent. of the spindles and 70 per cent. of the looms are situated in the Bombay district.
 The capital invested in these establish ments is estimated at $60 900, and the number of workmen at 17S.5OO.
 Aside from those employed in cotton factories, large numbers are engaged Tn the cotton house industry, so that in both about 100000 persons are employ ed.
 The production of yarns during the last year was 559.OOO pounds and shows small decrease over the previous year; in the finer grades. however, especially in Nos, 21 to 30, the increase was con siderable The export of yarns has caus- ed much loss to the factories in the Bombay region, and in consequence they are now restricting themselves more to the home demand
 With reference to the number of spin dles, India occupies the sixth place, and to the number of looms the eighth among the countries of the world
 The experts are principally to East Africa and Turkey.
