COTTON MILLS IN THE SOUTH
Their Great influence ON the Social
and Industrial Life of the
People.

Despite the opposition aroused by the
success OF cotton manufacturing in the
south, the business is growing rapidly and
will continue TO grow, simply because OF
the 'souths economic advantages over
other parts of the country. and over other
countries. These conditions must operate
10 secure victorious competition. and they
cannot be overcome. Without doubt
northern mills engaged in producing spe-
cial classes ofefabrics Will be able to main
tain themselves, and to increase their
business TO meet growing demands. but
northern mills cannot compete in the
manufacture OF goods for the production
Of which the south enjoys special advan-
tages. Each section must conform TO its
conditions.
The manufacture Of cotton in the At
lantic states has been GOdsend TO a large
class Of people 20 whom no proper and
systematic employment and wage earning
was previously available People who
gained a precarious living scratching the
rugged mountain side 70 raise pitifully
small crops Of foodstuffs, and cut OF from

RECOGNITION OF BIRTHDAY
Observance of Fiftieth Anniversary
of City Government Favored
by Mayor.

Relative TO observing the nftieth ami
versary of onaha's city government Mayor
Dahlman said he was in favor OF giving
the day some substantial recognition. The
anniversary falls on March 5. and not on
the sth. as announced by someone who
brought the matter to the notice Of the
mayor. Mayor Dahlman sent the city
council a communication on the subject
and urged that the day be observed. The
council will consider the matter next Mon
day afternoon In the general COMMITTEES
meeting.
One suggestion has been to have exer-
cises at the Auditorium. while another was
to use the council chamber. Only two
members OF the first city government are
now alive Both live in the city. The
mayor thought It would be good idea to
secure the Auditorium for the occasion

Signs Noted.

The cable dispatches bringing informa-
ton that the city Of Kingston. in Jamaica,
was sinking into the sea, has recalled TO
mind that the face line of the entire At
lantic coast has changed considerably in
the last few years This fact Is noticeable
in the Chesapeake bay particularly. and
the pilots who have for years gone up and
down the waterway, and are qualified au-
thorities on the subject, say that the
Islands which have been known in the
bay for years are gradually disappearing
due TO the sinking OF the earth's crust and
continual erosion The pilots also assert
that in some parts OF the bay the channels
have been made deeper in the last ten or

Hello. BIZ. what are you doing hereY-
asked an Omaha friend OF Colonel william
Hayward when meeting him on the street
Friday.

"oh. yes, you were one OF the speakers

Yes. and that Is how I came to be a
guest OF the club this year. Il was this
way; I was 50 nervous IN anticipation OF

twenty years. and that this Is due to the
sinking OF the earth along the Atlantic
coast.
Scientists assert that as the coast line OF
the Atlantic sinks into the ocean there Is
a proportionate rise in the coast line on
the Pacific. This fact has been established
beyond doubt.
1t is figured by persons competent TO talk
on the subject that in less than 100 years
from now beautiful and fertile Kent island
will have sunk into the bay and Hoopers
island. Sharpes island. Barren island, Tay-
lor's island. Hollands island and others will
have disappeared and nothing OF them will
remain 70 remind future generations OF
these beautiful places.
Cobb's island, once a famous cunning
and fishing place. has disappeared from the
surface OF the bay. and other islands
equally famous years ago have been swaI-
lowed up in the great action Of nature.
In talking over the matter Provost
Philip R. Uhler said that there was no
doubt that the entire face Of the coast
line was sinking into the sea and that the
islands in the Chesapeake would meet the
same fate.-Baltimore American

CHARACTER AND THE HAT.

A milliner with a turn for phil osophy declares that woman's character is infallibly revealed by the hat she wears. ''There are auda- cious hats, modest hats, ridiculous hats and hats that reveal the wear CT as cautious and secretive. As a rule a woman of strong personality may be trusted to choose hat to suit her. She is strong enough to withstand the temptation to wear something merely fashionable. The vulgar, self-assertive woman gener- ally selects a 1oud,' obtrusive hat, but even that I prefer to the tunereal style of headgear affected by the morbid woman"
