C0,GCO is represented in new cotton
mills, i'm the South and in additions
says the Manufacturers Record i'm its
Issue CT this week. The plans calle3
for II total of i56,732 new spindles and
13,0S9 new looms. Among the an
nouncements have been those of two
mills that will each he capitalized at
$1,OOO,000 each with an equipment of
10000 spindles and complement of
looms for manufacturing a fine grade
of cotton goods not heretofore pro
duced in the South. and of another
iine-goods mill that will be capitaliz-
ed at 100000. The million dollar
mills mentioned will be locate at
Greenville S. c., and one OF the 4 is
to manufacture India lawns and lin
ons, while the other has not as yet
announced the exact character of its
output except that it will be grade
OF cloth not now manufactured any
where in tic country Outside of New
Bedford. Mass.
Features of the years news have
been the continuation OF the move
ment toward the production of finer
grades of cloth, the use of electricity
as motive power, and an increasing
interest of Northern and New Eng
land cotton manufacturers in South
ern cotton milling. For instance the
two big Greenville mills mentioned
are being made possible largely
through the investment of New Eng
land capital to the extent of $500 900
and 100000 respectively. The lawn
and linon plant will be known as
the Wcstervelt mills. and it's active
manager is j. /. Wester:clt of Green
VILE for many years known as sue
cessful cotton manufactures in the
South. The other Greenvile mill will
be known as the Duncan cotton mills,
and it's principal promoter is Capt
Ellison A. Smyth, another eIi-known
Southern cotton manufacturer. An
other instance is a Georgia mill capt.
talized at 100000 almost entirely by
Northern manufacturers, who will
ship the plants product to their
Northern mills for conversion into oil
cloth. Still another instance is the
100000 mill. with about 20 900 spin
dies and $50 looms, which o. 4. Rob
bins of Charlotte proposes to build in
the Piedmont section.

If had a motor car, splendid and
bright.
Do you think would see it at rest :?
Indeed, I'd be riding from morning to
night,
First north. and then east, south
and west.
I'd say to the children I'd see by the
way:
Want to take a nice ride in my car :?
Then run and ask mother if she says
YOU may
We won't go so awfully far"
I'd say to old ladies, with hair white
and thin.
Old ladies with faces so sad:
viii you go for a ride? Let me help
YOU get in;
To take you I'm awfully glad.
I'd promise myself that once every
day
A cripple should ride in my car.
I'd take the tired women who faint BY
the way,
The ones who must work and walk
far.
I'd take the worn fathers, who toll
until late,
And Id give them fresh air and a
rest;
They'd go to their desks in fine
rested state
When an hour they had been as my
guest.
I'd take the tired mothers whose chill
dren are cross.
And I'd ride them, and feed them
up. too.
Don't you think that If I had a big

BUSINESS PRINCIPLES PAY.

When il was 9nnOunced that Frank
Hitchcock w0uia run the psstoffce
department. on business principles. il
was not expected that his management
would result in the saving of eight and
a half millions a year. but as we
stand in the middle Of President Taft's
administration We find that ne has
wiped out a debt of ST., 500, geo and
that a man of great achievements
he has as bitter enemies as any Of his
predecessors
Right in the face Of this betterment
u is apparent enough that many Leak
ages have been stopped. which means
that soft snaps" have been cut out
and that "posticsl pulls" are fewer
than ever before.
The severe criticism he has had to
endure was to have been expected. for
the way Of reform in such a great
government department as this is not
the way Of popularity. The man who
holds to business principles is always
regarded as a ty'rant by employees who
ara -unsyrnpat hetic and slack in their
work. and Postmaster General Hitch
cock has not made good without taut-
ening business lines and enforcing in
small things the strictest economy. 1t
Is to be remembered that the saving
on twine was about a million a year.
which does not broaden the smile or
increase the favor Of the Irvine manu-
facturers toward such an administra-
ton.
Mr.. Hitchcock ranks second to none
in his management OF the affairs of
this extensive business department.

ORIGINAL LITTLE STORIES,
Harry's Decoration Day.

Harry felt very sad because he
could not go to the cemetery on Dec
Grafton day to put flowers on his
fathers grave.
His father, Captain Morgan, had
been killed in the battle Of Gettys-
burg.
Harry had been expecting to go to
the cemetery until about week be-
fore, but his little sister Grace became
very i'll with the scarlet fever and
the house was quarantined; SO he
could not go out.
On the morning of Decoration day,
when Harry saw the soldiers march
ing past the house and heard the band
playing, he could not keep back the
tears which rushed to his eyes.
Then a sudden thought. came to him,
which made his face look brighter.
L will go and help mother instead
of grumbling. konw it would please
father if he knew
Harry helped his mother do the
work and when he was through she
said:
Il am glad my little boy bore his
disappointment so oheerfu1ly.'
When Harry went to sleep that
night he dreamed that he saw his
father smiling at him and heard him
say:
God bless my little SON.
And on the next Decoration day
Harry decorated his fathers grave

CITIZENS OF pANsuRY.

The senate of the United States is
aware that "sundry citizens of DAN
bury are out against the arbitration
treaty with Great Britain in most res
olute form. Washington correspon-
dent writes: In the senate Tuesday
Vice President Sherman presented
memorials of sundry citizens of Dam
bury protesting against the ratifica-
ton OF the proposed treaty of arbitra-
ton between the United States and
Great Britain. This is the fourth time
within the last ten days that the petit
tions of 'sundry citizens of Danbury'
have been presented to the senate.
First, by Senator Brandegee: second,
by Senator Mclean; third, by Sena-
tor Cullom of Illinois, chairman of the
committee on foreign relations; and
fourth, b. the vice president yester-
day. It goes without saying that the
views of 'sunsry citizens of Danbury
are well known in the senate by this
time"
The "sundry citizens of Danbury'
just now must appear to the nation to
be the heavyweights of Connecticut.
