GOVERNORS BASK
IN TAFT'S SMILE

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Governors of
majority of the states of the Union
met in the national capital today and
were given a chance to bask in the
sunny smile of President Taft. who
expressed his hearty approval of the
purpose of their conference. which is
to discuss national resources and plan
for their conservation, The first
meeting was called by President
Roosevelt, and the results achieved
by the gathering of the state execu-
tives were so great that it has been
determined to make the conference
an annual event. Governor Hughes
of New York, Wilson of Kentucky
Swanson OF Virginia, Fort of New
Jersey and Weeks of Connecticut are
among the leaders of the movement
to bring about a closer intimacy be
tween the governors, to the end that
they may exchange experiences, not
alone on conservation of resources.
but on other phases of state govern
ment.
The National Civic Federation !;
conference on uniform state esisla-
ton, now in progress is naturally OF
much interest to the assembled gov
errors, and their presence in the capi
tai will be of great assistance in
spreading the movement for greater
uniformity in state statutes. The es-
Enlistment Of House Of GoY"rn-
ora." which has met with favor ii
some quarters. does not receive the
approval Of a majority Of the state
executives.

COTTON MILLS
FOR THE SOUTH

Richmond. Va, Jan. 1S.-Reports
from all over the cotton belt
indicate that 1910 will be a
banner year for the textile
milling Industries of the South.
Cotton manufacturers will doubtless
make a great stride during the com.
ing twelve months, and before many
years it is predicted that New Eng.
lands Wanted supremacy in the tex.
tile line will be in danger.
Additional spindles and looms are
being added to mills all over the
South, while many of the strictly
new companies are formed wholly or
in part by men interested in estab.
lished and successful cotton factories.
These enterprises require the expend
iture of millions of dollars, which
add to the wealth of the South and
provide employment for many thous
and of her people. In many instan
ces the construction of a new mill
entails the establishment of an en-
tirely new city, with water supply
sewer system, electric lighting equip
ment, improved streets and sidewalks
modern cottages for the operatives
and other facilities for the health
comfort and contentment of the EN-
ployes, as well as the schools for the
education of their children, churches
for their religious training, etc.
An important feature in Southern
cotton milling is the adoption of cleo
tricity for power, and many of the
new mills are equipped for it's use
while number of the existing plant:
have changed their power equipment
to the electrical drive.

A Word For the Tjuhtwad.

In France they have an expressive
phrase. Liquid money" 1t means that
part of the family income which is
used for the necessities and luXuries
of life. 1t is quite apart from and
kept apart from the more serious. sub
stantial part of the income. which is
the saved part. In America the entire
income is liquid. and the man who at
tempts TO make part of it solid is
called "tightwad." \ "tightwad
