COTTON MILLS OF THE SOUTH.
Statistics Show How They Have In
creased in Ten Years,

According to statistics gathered by
census men there are 100000 cot
ton spindles in the south, and south
ern mills are valued at $24O,OOO,-
900. There are about 100 mills in
Georgia, which have a total of O.
100000 spindles, and the aggregate
mill capital is $40,00O,O00. Georgia
ranks third among the states in the
manufacture of cotton goods, South
Carolina being first and North Caro-
lima second.
Since the last census ten years ago
the number of spindles in Georgia
have increased 100000, and capt.
talization has increased $27,OOO,OOO.
There are now in Georgia 100000
looms, an increase of 10000, in ten
years. 1t is said that the report will
probably show that operators wages
have increased 35 to 40 per cent. in
the space of ten years. In the south
male mill operatives average $1.35
to $1.75 per day, while in the north
the average is $12 to SIS per week.
Owing to child labor laws there
has been a very marked decrease in
the number of children employed in
southern mills, and it is shown that
a great many mills now maintain
very fine school systems.

TWO FISH STORIES.
One Angler Catches Jewish That
Weighs 40 Pounds.

This is the prolific season for fish
stories, and they are being evolved
now and then. Two fishermen in
Florida were out fishing, and one of
them hooked jewish that proved
too strong to be brought near the
boat; whereupon his companion
sliced a harpoon and impaled the
fish at the distance of forty yards,
and it was pulled in and landed in
the boat. 1t was thirteen feet long
and weighed four hundred and fifty
pounds. How many Jews would it
have required to consume the fish?
But two boys in New York beat
this exploit easily. They were fish
ing in the Hackensack river when
one of them drew up a strange look
ing object that proved to be a roll
of bank bills secured with a rubber
band-$42 in all. That lucky Incl
dent will make the boys inveterate
fishermen.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO

Strong and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about 500
grains of impure matter daily; when
unhealthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-

BY the intermediate plan of insur-
ance, taking the lowest amount of

Sentiment Developing.
Another feature which argues we'll
for the success of the Georgia COM
pany is the fact that a strong -senti-
ment is developing against sending
life insurance premiums away from
home. The south in 1907 sent $685.
100000 in life insurance premiums
to New York, and the idea that this
money had best be kept in the south
instead of sending it to enrich other
sections is rapidly gaining ground.
The incorpOrators of the company,
in view of the class of business to
which they propose to pay particular
have chosen we'll in the Sc
lection of its location. Southwest
Georgia is the coming section of
Georgia and the south, and Dawson
is in the heart of it.
Backed by some of the strongest
and best known citizens of the state
whose financial standing and bust

success of this latest home insur-

which she had flown in that little fly
ing machine of the management of
which she seemed to have no knowl-
edge? Why had she refused to learn
his name. and concealed her own?
Whose airship was it from which she
had been lost overheard, and who was
the girl?
He wondered whether her people knew
of the chance by which he and Captain
Harrod had rescued the fair castaway.
Probably they believed her lest. The
helicopter had scarcely paused when
she struck the dune, but had shot out
over the Gulf like a flying gull. They
must mourn the girl as lost. Doubtless
they were filling the air with wireless
messages from Pensacola, calling upon
vessels to look out for a runaway hell
copter carrying a young girl to her
death in the warm waters of the Gulf
of Mexico, somewhere off at the limit

ter from his mind, and went into the
house. where a colored nanny was
shutting leisurely about. but assumed
an ant-like activity at his demand for
breakfast.
But If he was so hungry, why. n
thought, did he let her delicious coffee

eral, a system by which to beat the
game-and he had a girls name to
discover.
The Roc, according to Theodore's
forecast. came coasting back in the
same tardy dawn that lamped that
young somnambulist to his home. Mr..
Silberberg lighted and smoked count
less cigarettes. Mr.. Shayne nervousiy
walked the deck and debated the ques-
ton of letting Mrs. Shayne know of
her niece's tragic death at once, or of
waiting for a personal interview. For
the Roc had had no word of either the
h%elieopters or the girl, n they saw
no CLEAN of hope for her. She was a
dependent, and something of a prob
lem for Mrs. Shayne. Any ordinary
circumstance that would hav separat-
ed the aunt and niece would not have
been mourned ineonsolably by either OF
