Cotton Mills and Coal Mines.

The Charleston News and Courier
points with pride to South Carolina's
city of Greenville as an example of
what cotton manufacturing does for a
town. Before the day of cotton mills
Greenyille was a dull up-country town
holding about 25OO people. "The oc-
casional apple and cabbage seed and
chestnut wagons" adds the News and
Courier, driven in from the mountain
country to the primitive stores, mired
to the hub in the soft and sticky
streets, which under the influence of
the summer sun became hard, but
dusty, painting the town red" This
is picture of Greenville in its pre-
cotton-mill days.
The Greenyille of today contains
$4,000 inhabitants, and within a ra-
dius of twenty miles are 665, 154 cot
ton spindles. tended by 1866 opera
tiyes, who support by their labor 81
658 people. 1t is useless to add other
statistics relating to Greenville. The
cotton mills caused other industries to
spring up. The story of Greenyille Is
in short story of cotton mills.
Alabama has a Greenville up in the
Tennessee valley, and perhaps twenty
years from now our Huntsville after
securing cheap fuel will have out
grown South Cardinals Greenyille,
which is about three hundred miles
from a coal mine. The mills at Green
vile burn coal, not one of them util-
izing water power, and 1t will be
strange indeed If big cotton mills do
not yet hover about the coal mines
as do the mills at Cordova and Ala
bama City.

LARGE Attendance.

THE attendance at the game this after
noon in Birmingham was larger than the
combined attendance in the other three
Southern league cities where games were
played" said fan last night. More
than $500 people witnessed the game here,
and they were all paid admissions, for it
was not even ladies day.
In Nashville the home team and Mont
gomery only played to $50 people. In Little
Rock, New Orleans won the game before
$50 fans, and In ShreveI ort only 750 peo-
pie saw DUNCAN clean the bases with a
two Dagger and win the game for Mem
phis.
birmingham, Atlanta and New Orleans
have been the only cities to draw crowds
of any size this year, and these three
cities will run a close race. If the Baron
management will put one, two three
team in his city the attendance here will
surpass that in any other city in the
league. New Orleans has the advantage of
Sunday games, but with a winning team
in Birmingham the attendance here
would be even larger than New Orleans,
including the Sunday games. As it is
birmingham has a larger daily average
than New Orleans if the Sunday games
arr not counted.
Il think that such attendance demands
baseball team that should finish in
the money to use race horse eX-
preston and the management should
loosen its purse strings to the limit If
necessary and secure team that will
beat anything in the league"

MY SHADOW,

BY Robert Louis Stevenson.
1 have a little shadow that goes In and
out with me,
And what can be the use OF him Is more
than I can see.
He Is very, Very like me from the heels
up to the head;
And / see him jump before me, when
jump into my bed.
The funniest thing about him is the way
he likes to grow
Not at all likes proper children, which
is always very slow;
For he sometimes shoots up taller, like
an india-rubber ball.
And he sometimes gets so little that
there's none of him at all.
He hasn't got a notion Of how children
ought to play,
And can only make a fool of me in every
sort of way
He stays so close beside me, he's cow
ard you can see;
I'd think shame to stick TO nursie as
shadow sticks to mel
One morning. very early before the sun
was up.
rose and found the shining dew on
every buttercup;
But my lazy little shadow. like an arrant
sleepy-head
Had stayed at home behind me and was
fast asleep in bed.

PERPETuAL.MoTloN MACHINE.
Man nvents a Clock That viii Run
a Thousand Years.

DR.. Henry Smith Williams in Harper's
Weekly.
It was recently announced that Mr..
Richard Strut, son of Lord Rayleigh, had
invented a clock that will run for two
thousand years. The invention Is based on
the fact that radiations from the strange
new chemical, radium, have power TO cleo
trify metals with which they come in con-
tact Two pieces of gold-leaf joined at one
end, and suspended in the presence of
small quantity of radium, gradually be-
come electrified and spread apart through
mutual repulsion until they touch the
walls of the receiving vessel, when they
discharge the electricity and fall back,
only to repeat the process again and
again. Obviously such a mechanism
would continue to operate until the ma
terial of which it Is composed Is worn
out or until its radium rays are ex-
hausted. According to the rough estimates
thus far attained, a quantity or radium
would require at least 1000 years to ex-
haust it's substance through radiation;
hence it being assumed that the other
portions of the mechanism can be made
sufficiently durable, the ceasless rise ana
fall of the gold-leaf would continue with
absolute regularity for at least 1000 years.
1t Is said that Sir William Ramsay has
declared that a practical clock can be
constructed with this motive power
Such a mechanism as this in its pres
ent stage, Is obviously only laboratory
toy, but 1t suggests interesting posi-
bilities. Such a clock is an engine in min
iature. Supplied with its quantity of prac-
tically inexhaustibe fuel, 1t sets to work
and becomes for all practical purposes a
experimentation machine.

LEE DIDN'T DIE.

From the Washington Post:
MANY years ago, when, during a fight
with Indians on the Texas frontier, an
arrow shot by redskin pierced the body
of Fitzhugh Lee, it was thought by his
tall" said an old friend of the lamented
Virginian, at the New Willard.
"A terrible hemorrhage setup, and
Lees face took on a death-like pallor.
which was taken as a sign of imminent
dissolution Still he preserved conscious
ness, and in feeble tones made some
requests of his friends about sending
word to his family.
while in this desperate situation, one
of his comrades in laundering effort to
impart cheer, exhibited his hat to the
wounded man, and showed where a bull
let had perforated the crown.
=. The Indians came pretty close to
getting me, too, Fitz.' he said.
"A sickly smile played over the features
of Fitzhugh Lee, and in a whisper he re-
marked: oh, come Off now George,
hat. You know very we'll that you went
off down yonder by the creek and put
that hole in yourself One who was pres
ent and who was on the verge of tears
told me afterward that when he heard
this jest from the lips of a man sup
posed to be dying, he Immediately took
comfort Any man who could joke at
such a time wasn't going to die. and
he was right for in a little while Lee
began to improve, and 1t wasn't long be-
fore he was chasing Comanches as mer-
rilY as ever

Preparing for Picnic.

Extensive preparations are being made
to entertain the Red Men when they have
their picnic at East Lake park May 49,"
said Manager Semon of the Bijou, who
will also have charge of the park this sea-
son. 1--WE anticipate quite large crowd
OF Red Men and their friends. In order
to make the day as pleasant as possible
I am planning to give a special perform
ance at the Casino the night of the 23rd.
IL possible, we will move the play holding
the boards at the Bijou out to the aquat-
ic theatre.
Improvements are also being made
in the Casino In order to handle the
large shows that will be put on at the
lake this season it has been found neces-
sary to add to our stage facilities so that
heavy scenery can be manipulated
THE lake is already becoming quite pop
ular, although the summer theatricals
season has not yet opened People are
going out every night and the crowds
will increase as the warm weather adj
Vances.
THE Red Mems picnic next Tuesday
week will be the first of a series of these
events that will be held at the lake this
summer"
