TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 20, 1907.

If the amount of money that has been kept out of the State Treasury in the last ten years by exemption of cot ton mills from taxation was in the treasury now, 1t would be a great help in paying the appropriations to the schools. Take the value of the cotton mills in Huntsville, Alabama City, Av- ondaIe, Sylacauga and many other points and count up the tax even on the basis that other property Is assessed and it will be seen that 1t amounts to a considerable sum. Now it is pro posed to exempt for another ten years new mills and old mills that put in additions to amount of S50.000 on buildings or new machinery. In other words every old mill in Alabama can build new ones, and be exempt from taxation to the value of the new ones. Why not exempt great industries which employ thousands of high priced, skilled mechanics who get enough wages to take care of their wives and children and send the little ones to school. Cotton mill men are as able to pay taxes as any other class of citi- sens. Every other industry Is just as much entitled to exemption from taxa tion as cotton mills.

The brave taiiors who met recently in national convention have undertaken a fob beside which the triumph of the prohibition party Is a substantial hope. They have decided that the dress suit must hereafter he either gray or blue and must be made up in a new fashion. some years ago they decreed that men were to wear velvet suits Tn the even Ing. with knickcrbonkcr trousers. They were shown in many cOlors and were real works of art. beautiful to the eve and graceful to the form. The only thing tho matter with them was that the men refused 10 wear 'em.

STILL ANOTHER WONDER.

It has long been the dream of scien- lists and inventors to perfect system of wireless telegraphy. To send and receive messages without the use of wires pole and other cumbrous and troublesome contrivances has engaged the attention of inventors and others for years, and now it is claimed that these efforts have been successful and that the air itself is all the wire or conveyance that is needed,
 But having accomplished this won derful feat they are reaching out Tor something still more remarkable, and what is more, they claim that they will succeed. That object Is Wireless con trol of Mechanism as the term Is used. The object to be attained, in short. is to obtain convey and utilize electric power for driving machinery without the use of wires, just as they now obtain messages.
 In the March issue of The Technical World Magazine there is an illustrated article on the subject contributed by pr. Alfred Bradenwitz, of Berlin, show ing the methods employed in the initial experiments and the results that have been accomplished. No mere descrip- tion of the methods used would be un-' derstood without reproducing the illus trations, but the doctor says the meth- cd "can be used for multitude of pur- poses" which we may easily believe He declares that "a steam engine or railway train may be started or stop ped by its means, the lamp in light house lighted or put out, as subma- rines can be controlled without crew, torpedoes launched, mines exploded etc"
 This gives promise of something really more wonderful than anything that has yet been accomplished. but who, in the light of past results. can undertake to say that 1t is impossible So many things that were looked on and considered as impossible have proven not to be so that it is not safe to doubt anything that is claimed or predicted for electricity. The 'impos- sible" comes to pass with dazzling fre- quency, and human Knowledge so often falls short of comprehending the att tainable that we should not be sur prised at anything that comes to pass or that modern skill and science can accomplish. Latter day man is never satisfied with what has been done but is constantly reaching out for other worlds to conquer in the domain of science and invention.
 It would be difficult to even imagine all that this invention or discovery means If it proves the success that is claimed for it. To do away with poles and wires in telegraphing is a wonderful improvement on old meth ods, but when the time comes that machinery may be operated, cars run, lights maintained, and all the other wonders that electricity can do will be done by conveying power unseen and unheard through 'the viewless fields of air." as the poet says, we may well woder if anything is impossible
