Cotton Mills in tile South. Savannah Xeve. A Year of Cyclones. Savannah Xews. p§m The rapid increase in the nam- ber of cotton mills in the South is calculated to make thinking men wonder how long it will be before the cotton which is grown in the South will be manufactured into cotton goods in Southern mills. And why should not the South con sume the bulk of her cotton crop in mills of her own? She ought to be able to manufacture cjtton goods cheaper than they can be manufactured elsewhere, because she has good and cheap labor that can be easily trained to tend the spindles and looms. She has genial climate and she produces food products in such quantities as to make living as cheap within her limits as anywhere else in the civ ilized world. Her mills can get cotton for several dollars a bale less than it can be obtained by the mills in New England or in Europe, According to an authoritative report, which the Morning Neivs published a few dajs ago, the Southern cotton mills consumed in the year ending Aug. 81, 546,368 bales of cotton, and in the previous year 481,245 bales. The increase in the consumption of Southern mills, therefore, was 65,118 bales— a very gratifying increase, but not as great as it ought to have been yet great enough to show that the South is waking up to the fact that there is great wealth for her manufacturing her cotton crop. The number of cotton mills now in operation in the South is 270, having 1,665,191 spindles. Thir ty-nine new mills have begun work ing this year, and they have 241, 864 spindles. Fifteen more' mills will be completed this fall, and will be in operation before Christmas. Quite a number of mills are idle now from one cause and another but it is expected that nearly all the idle ones will soon be in oper ation. The total number of mills iu the South is 336, having 40,819 looms and 1,819,291 spindles. It is a noteworthy fact that the increase in the number of-spindles in the South during the last year is equal to almost half the number that was in the South ten years ago. This fact shows that cotton manufacturing in the South is creasing at a wonderful rate. It justifies the conclusion that within a comparatively few years the South will be the cotton manufac turing, as well the cotton produc ing, section of the country. The future of the South certainly looks promising. The list of disasters and fatal ities resulting from cyclones has been so large this year that 1890 will be memorable, probably, in history as the cyclone year. The total number of lives lost in this country so far this year by the agency of-eyelones is 915, as com pared with 163 in 1889, 350 in 1888,18S in 1S87, 272 in 1886, and 111 in 1885.

The old world’s record is even larger than ours. It adds 3,531 victims.to the list. The course of the cyclone is queer, and its distribution is indicated in the following statement of the signal service bureau: From observations made by the signal corps in the last score of years, together with such data as that body has been able to gain on the subject for previous years, Missouri and Kansas are more sub ject to attacks from the cyclone than any other states. In the seventy-eight years covered by the statistics which the corps published a year or two ago, Missouri has been visited 156 and Kansas 153 times. - It would naturally be ex pected that some state m the im mediate neighborhood of these would stand next on the list, but this assumption-is shown by the records to be groundless. After Kansas Georgia, with 128 calls, re ceives more attention tha nany oth er state, followed closely, however, by Illinois, with 127, and Iowa with 118. Then a skip must be taken to the far south again, where Alabama stands with 102 to her credit. Nearly or. quite every state east of the Rocky Mountains has a place on the cyclone records. We, in Georgia this year have been almost exempt, fortunately, from cyclone visits, but the north ern and western states have suffer ed severely from the cyclone’s fury. Harvard studen t.

Old Bad Blood may yet be con quered and disease driven from the citadel of life. Yo • have not used the proper remedy, or long ago you would have felt a change. You have tried this and that, a hundred bottles of this specific and fifty bottles of that sarsaparilla, and feel you might as well have used so much raiu water for all the good effect they had. Why have you not tried B. B. B. (Bo tanic Blood'Balm) made iu Atlan ta, Ga.? Because it isn’t adver, tised so conspicuously as other remedies? Well, that’s a pooi- reason. The greatest humbugs can afford the largest advertisements. Ask for B. B. B.; try it, and if six bottles don’t do you more good than all the other blood medicine you have ever taken, call it a hum bug, a name that has never been applied to it by any one. Walter Bridges, Athens, Tenn., writes: “For six years I had been afflicted with running sores ancl an enlargement of the bone in my leg. I tried everything I heard of with out any permanent benefit until Botanic Blood Balm was recom mended to me. After using six bot tles the sores healed, and lam now in better health than I have ever been. I send this testimonial un solicited, because I want others to be benefitted.” A good story is told on Judge H. G. Struve, one of the prominent citizens of Seattle. While the great fire was raging he rushed up into his office to save some of his most valuable books. It- is well known that he had accumulated a vast amount of material which he purposed working up into a histo ry of Washington. This material and some of his books were very precious to him. So as the fire came sweeping down ‘toward his office lie rushed np-stairs and be gan to select the books most valu able. “Ah, this one I will save. No, I guess this one is more valua ble.” Thus he hesitated, and among his many books, which were all dear to him, he was unable to decide which ones to save. Just then the cries of the firemen were raised, and the judge was urged to come down and save his life. Being thoroughly alarmed, and still undecided, he turned and grabbed the -first book within reach, and rushed out of the build ing. Reaching the pavement he found he had saved—the city di rectory. Hannibal Hamlin, who has lived under every president but three, when asked recently why he did not write his memoirs, said he could not trust his memory, and he had failed to-keep a diary du ring his political career.
