If multiplication of industries may
be considered an indication of re-
vived and continued prosperity, surely
the United States is supplying ample
testimony Of that character. There
seems to be especial activity In tex.
tiles. The official statistics show that
within six months 1876 textile mills
have been built, and since January l.,
1906, more than 1900 Of these works
have been constructed. A notable
feature is the development in the
south, and that section, especially the
Carolinas, where water power abounds,
is in the lead This is an excellent
and satisfactory showing. 1t is proof
that the south, which has the cotton
and many of the other materials for
manufacture, is learning the economic
value of concentration of effort. When
the south works up large proportion
of the cotton raised there instead of
sending the great bulk elsewhere to be
transformed into finished fabrics 1t
will have made still greater economic
gain.

DEMAND FOR FARM LABOR.

The greatest problem the farmer OF
to-day has to meet is the difficulty OF
obtaining and retaining in service
farm laborers. The trolley lines and
the steam lines of the country bring
the farm closer to the towns and the
cities, but they also bring the attrac-
tions of the city and the higher wages
Of the city workingmen closer to the
farm laborers. and in the great major
ity Of instances, finally detach them
from cultivation of the soil. The call
of the wild" is not answered by one
tenth of the number of city residents
which the call Of the city brings as re-
cruits from the farms, and the result
can be seen all over the world in the
great increase of urban population. In
the south the farmers have the advan-
tage of greater supply of farm Ia
borers than those of the north, but
even their field hands are becoming
less numerous through their departure
to the haunts of the cities in all sec
tions Of the union, says Cincinnati En-
quirer. The advances that have al
ready taken place in the wages of farm
laborers do not stop this exodus, and
there are to-day very few native white
Americans who can be properly
classed as agricultural laborers.

WATERWAY PROJECT
GETS BIG BOOST
Traffic on Great Lakes In Vessels
Drawing Fourteen Feet, and That
Depth 10 Attainable In River.

Washington, D. C.-That 40 per
cent Of the great lakes traffic is car
ried In vessels drawing fourteen feet
or less; that this depth can be had in
the Mississippi below the mouth Of
the Illinois river, and that improve
ment of the Missouri river is entirely
feasible and is desirable, were points
emphasized In the hearings before the
senate committee on commerce.
Captain w. G.. Hamilton, manager
of the Hines company Of Chicago. a
concern doing large business in lake
shipping, said that all the vessels Of
his company draw between ten and
fourteen feet.
Colonel Bixby. chairman of the Mis-
sissippi river commission indirsed the
provision of the house bill giving the
Missouri $1,000.000.

There certainly are some farms
which are not deteriorating in value
A gentleman who is in such easy cir
cumstances that he and his wife have
begun a trip around the world disposed
of his farm near Monroe, N. Y, just
prior to starting. Three years ago the
purchaser paid 100000 for the proper
ty. He received 100000 for the same
farm. And with the present price for
agricultural products no doubt the ex-
perience could be duplicated in many
other localities.

AS was inevitable, the inventors of
substitutes for the high-priced food
articles against which at present there
is such an outcry are getting busy, and
all sorts of things are suggested as be-
ing "just as good" as the others. No
doubt there is much truth in this,
though also a good deal of humbug.
But if present experience will go to
convince the public that there are
great many kinds of wholesome food
obtainable at moderate cost, much
benefit will result.

FORMER NEW YORK SENATOR
sUccuMBs WITH SMILE FOR
FAMILY AT BEDSIDE.
FIFTEEN YEARS A SUFFERER
To the Last He Had Retained His
Grasp on Political and Business
Affairs-Sought to Retire
From Public Life.

New York City.-Thomas Col
lier Plat, the Easy Boss" from 1897
until last year, United States sena-
tor from New York, died at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Gustave Abel, No. 1873
West Eleventh street, with whom he
had lived for the last four years.
The end was sudden and peaceful.
The former senator's last impression
Of this earth was the sight of his
three sons, his daughter-in-law, Mrs.
Frank H. Platt, his grandson, Livings-
ton Platt, and Mr. and Mrs. Abel, all
Of whom surrounded the comfortable
couch on which he lay. Recognizing
them, he smiled and passed away.
Death was caused by chronic and
acute Bright's disease, malady from
which Mr.. Platt had suffered for fif-
teen years. Three-quarters Of an hour
before he expired he appeared to be
in moderate health and In possession
of all his faculties.
Mr.. Platt's health had been failing
for years, but his mind was active to
the last in its grasp ON political and
business affairs. Since the political
revelations at Albany, In which his
name had been spoken by witnesses
on the stand before the senate and let
ters bearing his signature and dated
during the years he held sway as Re-
publican leader Of the state, Mr.. Platt,
through the newspapers had kept a
close watch on events.
Retiring from the United States SEN
ate last year, when he was succeeded
by Elihu Root, after twelve years as
the senior senator from New York
state, Mr.. Platt sought quiet and a
change of surroundings in order to re-
gain his health and drop out of the
public eye. With the opening Of the
winter season at Lakewood he took to
the pine woods of New Jersey, and
for two months lived at that resort
Even while there however, he kept
close in touch with his business af-
fairs-he was president of the United
States Express company-and on JAM
uary 20 last, he returned to this city.
Every working day since that time
he was at his office before o'clock in
the morning. A man who had con-
formed to the most regular habits dur
ing his life, he bore his II years with
out hardship.

W|CkEDEST CITY IN SOUTH.
KEW. j. WALTER DANIEL SAWS
THIS OF SOUTH CAROLINA
CAPITAL.
lie Draws Lurid Picture-More De.
oauched Young Men and Women in
This City, Says He, Than Any South
OF Philadelphia.

Lexington, July 24.-Using for his
theme the Home and Home Inf,u-
ence," the Rev. J. Walter Daniel of
Columbia, presiding elder of the CO.
lumbia district, preached a starting
sermon in the Methodist church here
this afternoon.
During the course of his eloquent
discourse, DR.. Daniel declared with
feeling that columbia, the capttal of
the proud State of South Carolina, is
the wickedest city south of Philadel-
phia." He said that there were more
debauched young men and young wo-
men in and around Columbia than in
any other section of the State.
Basing his remarks on the parable
where the rich mans SON had left his
nome and had wasted his money in
riotous living, DR.. Daniel drew several
pictures which touched the hearts of
his hearers. He said that almost ev-
cry day young men come to his home
In Columbia and acknowledge that
they have left their homes and have
lived lives of shame and disgrace
and seek advice" He urged the i'm
portance Of home training-the i'm
portance Of raising Alright the young
men and young women of the land.
and the Importance of parents MAX
ing their homes so attractive that
their children will not want to leave.
He deplored the fact that rich par
ents often give their children large
sums Of money and set them up in
business. This" he said, was the
worst thing that could ever happen
to any child. He said that he did not
believe in endowments of any kind,
whether for school or what not, that
every child should make his own
mark in life. Teach the heart and
mind and all else that is necessary in
life Will come" he said.
