ADDITION TO COTTON MILL
TO DOUBLE CAPACITY

Albany, Sept 22.-Dirt was broken
this morning for an addition to the
Flint River Cotton Mills which will
double it's present capacity. The adj
dition to the building will cost about
$3.50 and the additional machinery
will cost about $156,OOO, making a to-
tai expenditure of $181,OOO.
When the mills were erected five
years ago the power plant, ware
houses and other buildings were built
large enough to accommodate mill
double the capacity put in at that
time The main factory room Of the
building, which is three stories high
was boarded up at one end, making
it possible to build on to it at small
cost. This three-story building will
be doubled in size, the addition being
1O6 by 100 feet. The addition will
be left so the mills can again be en-
larged at any time.
The mill is now running 26O looms,
900 spindles and "a cards. This
equipment will be duplicated in the
addition, giving the mill just twice
the capacity it has at present. The
present power plant of the mill is of
sufficient capacity to operate the new
machinery.

In the pursuit of Villa and his bandits through
the arid regions Of northern Mexico the United
States troops traversed a region whose only vege-
tation is the barbed and forbidding cactus. To
any but cowboy or a trained plainsman of the
Southwest, inhabitants themselves of the "cactus
belt" this plant seemingly has no more value than
the veriest weed, but 1t may well be that 1t may
prove Of great value to the troops in the absence
of water, fodder, or even food for human beings.
In the punitive expedition there are many COW
punchers of the "cactus belt" serving as scouts
and in the cowboy and the Indian of the South
west the lowy cactus has its greatest admrer, for
they know what game struggle for life this plant
has to make against an unlaved desert soil. Even
desert know of these uses of the cactus for water
and fodder, says the New York Herald.
There are some thousand varieties of this mon
strous vegetable family, not counting the 800 va
rieties of the agave. or century plant-incorrecty
included by many-in northern Mexico. The va
rieties of the yucca palm and all other forms of
vegetation known to the arid region have the same
faculty of sucking up from the soil every drop of
the all too little moisture in 1t and storing it up In
their tough and leathery leaves and roots.
OF the many varieties perhaps the most remark
able Is that member of the family known to those
schooed in desert craft the water barrel" This
plant is shaped somewhat like a beer keg and is
about the same size. Through all the years of Its
growth 1t has been sopping up what moisture the
famished earth contained and retaining it. It Is the
sole reliance of desert dweers In time Of drought
and the troops. far from water holes and with wa
ter scarce, may yet be obliged to drink from It

He reflected that across the Atlantic millions
lof human beings were at that very moment en-
gagged in the dreadful task of killing other human
beings with every invention which ingenuity and
lnkll could bring forth from the laboratories of
science and the workshops Of industry.
/ In other lands at that very moment tens OF
thousands upon tens of thousands of helpless
t60lk-feeble, aged men and women. mothers with
babes clinging convusively to their breasts little

So he that considered all this wickedness that

lof his heart that no God ruled over such a maniac
