the state board of health, vet 1t is
hard to see wherein this mill is a
deathtrap as 1t is said to be-" The
conclusions of The Mail are perfect
ly natural after its admission as to
its knowledge of the causes of diseases
under discussion. Now that The Mail
has undertaken a discussion of the
subject, we would suggest that 1t
write letter to any member of the
Board Of Health who stand for the
doing away Of the mill and ask him
why the board takes the position that
1t does. If The Mail will do that,
writing to DR.. Robert Wilson, Jr., for
instance, who we believe stands for it's
abolition, we believe that The Mail
will como to realize that the hosiery
mill is really just what it's enemies
have pictured it.
OF course the hosiery mill seems to
have as it's chief champion our pres
ent governor, but we believe that this
should be overlooked and the question
given the consideration that it de-
serves.
If Governor Blease conscientiously
has the welfare of the convicts at
heart when he recommends the aboli-
tion of the hosiery mill, The Advertis-
er commends him for his stand and
doesn't mind saying so.

Miss Caroline b. Schrenk, a dramat-
ic soprano of superior merit, is an
American by birth. Her musical stud
les began early, and her first public
appearance as vocalist was made at
the age of twelve years. Even at that
early age her musical talent gave a
rich promise that has been richly real
lied, After several years spent with
the best vocal teachers of America
she went to Germany, studying at
Stuttgart, afterwards completing her
musical training at Berlin. All her
training, from first to last, has been
with leading instructors. Upon her
return to America she appeared in
opera and concerts and met with in
stant favor and success. Her voice is
of exquisite quality, possessing fine
carrying power, particularly on high
notes, which she reaches and holds
with perfect ease. Her repertoire is
unusually wide in scope and embraces
principal roles in German, Italian and
English Opera. Her repertoire also
includes the great Oratorios as we'll as
lighter forms of song cycles.

THOSE COTTON pmLANTHROpIsTs

OF all the getrich-quick Walling-

the most braZen yet. 1t really is anus
ing to think about such a proposition
being made to sensible people. The
they have been called, might fool a
few people with wool pulled over their
eyes, but when such people think that
they can fool the whole South, they
must think they are treating with peo-
pie entirely without business sense.
Listen to this: 1T is not our plan to
warehouse this cotton, nor to withhold
it from the channels of trade, but we
want to get it out of competition, so as
TO permit the market to go up" Did
anybody ever hear of such a thing?
Get it out of competition so it can go
up If anybody can see any sense in
that sentence. please come out and
explain it. Competition with what?
The only competition that we can see
evident now is the competition between
the cotton growers to deliver it to the
spinners and that is exactly what this
syndicate says the intend doing Real

the whole thing is that the plan is ex-

With the cotton rushed into the
hands of the spinners out OF the South

the price up. Nothing. The plan is
hardly worth discussing at length. Its
