 poster populated with rather unprepossessing young women and bear ing the legend "A Bunch of Home Wreck hers." We are reminded of it by the state ment made a day or two age by a young comic opera singer, whose Vaccinations are alleged to have estranged from his wife the manager of great manufactur- ing industry. T protest" she said, against the custom of making theatre girls scapegoats for the domestic troubles of millionaires. If wives have difficulties with their husbands, lyric artists are rarely the cause. Our calling is too exact ing to allow us time to be home wreck CTS, even were we so disposed" Not the bright eyes of artists" but the faults of wives, she declared, were the cause of martial neglect. Respectable artists" she urged in conclusion, should form a league for protection against the absurd attacks of unattractive married women"
 This spirited protest deserves to go on the record, and the party of the third part who voices it should receive as full consideration in the premises as the par ties of the first and second part. If with out due cause her name has been dragged into the matter her individual rights, which are as great as the rights of either, have been atrociously prejudieed. We put that question by. because, like every one else, we know nothing about it, and do not yet consider it any of our business. But we profess certain sympathy for the

q have often read in novels about men on horseback stopping ~funaway teams, but l saw it for the first time in Green vile, Ala. last week." said Frederick Winkler yesterday. "A truthful man from Texas had a string of mustangs in Greenvil1e and was riding from the hotel to the stable. A team of horses hitched to a carriage was running away down the street and as it passed this Texan he dug spurs into the ribs of his raw-boned animal and started out after the team.
 That little mustang fairly lay out on the ground. and he caught the runaways in about % yards. The man reached over, grasped the bridle of one of the horses and stopped the team before 1t had gone fifty feet further!
 "A woman and a child were in the car riage and they would probably have been injured, if not killed, had it not been for the horsemanship of the man from Texas"

Birmingham has more alert business men than any city of its size In the country" said John L. Parker yester- doy. One rarely hears of a Birmingham business man getting caught on any proposition.
 Many people come to Birmingham with propositions to start new industrial plants and manufacturing concerns, but they must have something worth having before they can Interest local business men. All the hundred end one fake schemes which capture people so readily meet with but poor success when tried on business men here.
 ''rhls Is illustrated by the way that business men here are recovering from the panic of some years ago and nearly all of them are making money now. They have invested wisely and are reaping the results of their investments now

Cotton MIL constructIon.

The number of new mills built or started in 1905 was 65. In the second half of the year the new enterprises numbered A. located as follows: In North Carolina, IS; in South Carolina and Georgia, each, 4, and in Texas, l. to. in the south in the second half of the year, 25. No new mill was pro jected in Virginia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, or Arkansas. while seven new cotton mills were be- gun in Massachusetts, and two each In Connecticut, New Hampshire, New Jer- sey. New York and Rhode Island. The latest figures go to show that cotton mill construction is getting Its second wind in New England, and is to some extent losing ground in the south.
 Not new mill was begun in Ala bama in 1905. Some spindles were added in old mills in Huntsville, Talla- dega and Jacksonville, but no new mill was built or projected. If the current year furnishes no better record-if no additional Talladegas arise and assert emselves-Alabama will not have a million spindles in the next census year. There is not town in this state better located for cotton milling than Decatur, and yet it does not contain a spindle. Any Alabama town that pos sesses an unfailing water power can spin cotton proftab!y, and such town

 TELL WITH THE PEOPLE. In these late days of graft and grab. Of union men and eke the scab, What does the magnate say to us Whenever we dare make a fuss?
 ''Tell with the people!' He makes and breaks the nations laws, To him mere congressman are straws; And as he robs from day to day Just listen and you'll hear him say,
 Tell with the peopler' He doesn't care what others think, He'll put the country on the blink, And when you try to block his course He shouts at you in accents hoarse,

COMMENTS ON MEN AND

lfkf SEE" remarked Col. Bin of Chig- gerville, that Carrie Nation went
 around to the Carrie Nation saloon in Houston, Tex. and used her hatchet on the place after the fashion which made her famous. The Carrie Nation saloon In Houston is well known resort and was brought into publicity several years ago when Mrs Nation made q similar attack on the establishment. At that time Mrs. Nation was an unexpected visitor to Hous- ton. Some one, in spirit of fun told her that she ought to smash the Carrie Nation saloon. She took the fellow at his word, hired a hack and went down there. She started to tear up things, but was promptly boosted by the barkeeper. Short ly afterwards-an hour or two, perhaps she was escorted to the passenger station by policemen and told to depart. She went, but I see she did not forget the Carrie Nation saloon and has wrecked her vengeance on 1t as iast''
