Boston, July 8.—A record pre
pared by the American Wool and
Cotton Reporter shows that tex
tile mill construction during the
first six months of the year 1901
was considerably greater than the
last half of the proceeding year.
The number of southern mills con
structed during that time has
shown little change, compared
with the number built during the
* last half of last year. In the
north, however, the increase in the
number of new mills built or pro
posed has been remarkable.
During the first half of the year
1901 the number of new mills - con-
s true ted or that are intended to
be constructed amount to 261, a
gain of 87 over the last six months
of 1900.
Of the 261 mills, 148 are devoted
to the manufacture of cotton, 35
to wool, 58 to knit goods, hosiery,
etc., and 25 to .miscellaneous . pur
poses, such,as silk, linen and jute
manufacturing and bleaching, fin
ishing, etc . *
The number of woolen mills
constructed shows the greater in
crease. Relatively speaking, there
was an increase of 250 per cent,
compared with the number erected
during the latter part of f900.
The knitting industry is also
increasing rapidly. Our knit
goods are being exported in larger
amounts each year. In Germany,
and mpre extensively in England,
goods made by American manu
facturers can be found in the very
centers of the hosiery .manufac
turing towns, and prices, as a rule,
are in favor Of the American pro
duct.
;In the cotton manufacturing in
dustry, the demand has not war-
rented as many new mills as in
other years. Yet, since the first
of the year the number of new
mills constructed only lacks one
of being equal to the number
erected during the latter part of
last year.
A table gives in detail the loca
tion of the 261 new textile enter
prises, and shows that North Car-
olin a leads with 45 mills, Georgia

No Ciiange, Says Mr. Bryan.
Roanoke, Va., July 2,—Wm. J.
Bryan was here a short while this
afternoon on his way to Pocahon
tas, Va., where he is to lecture to
night. He made a shprt speech
here on the station platform,
Mr. Bryan said the questions
that several years ago dominated
the Chicago platform he had stood
for because he believed in them.
He had not changed his mind when
the Kansas City platform Was en
larged to suit certain conditions.
The democratic party was all right
when it came to addition, jbut not
in subtraction. No backward step
would be taken, but whether it did
or not it would be the same with
him. He had said the question
was not whether the3 T should win,
but whether they should do what
was right. ^He would do the right
Peaches Improved.
Elberta peaches, the finest of the
Georgia orchards, President John
M. Egan ot the Central railroad
said yesterday, will begin to move
the latter part of this week. . By
the latter part of next week, Mr.
Egan expects the moving will have
assumed considerable proportions.
For the last four, or five days,
there has been decided improve
ment in the condition of the peach
es throughout the peach-growing
section that is traversed by the
Central/ This has been due to
the more favorable weather con
ditions. The trees do not hold as
many peaches, as last year, reports
to the Central show, but the fruit
is larger and finer.
It would be a good thing for the
Georgia peach growers, Mr. Egan
said if no early varieties were pro-
duced. Some of the early peaches
have been good, but the majority
have hot. Growere, as a rule, find
that the early Varieties -are not
adapted to shipment, and the fruit
when it is received by the com
mission men, is npt in good con
dition. Some of the returns from
the commission houses to which
early varieties have been shipped
have been fairly, good, Mr. Egan
said, but the experience of the
growers this year has been such as
to show clearly that it would be
better for them if there were no
early varieties of peaches.
An effect is produced upon con^
sumers, Mr. Egan said, by faulty
early varieties, that does not re
dound to the advantage of the
Georgia growers. Because the
early peaches are not good, it is
inferred that those ripening later
will be in the same fix. The mar
ket is affected in that way, and the
growers do not make as much from
their elbertas and otheV late var
ieties as they would if there were
no early varieties to prejudice the
consumers against Georgia peach
es. Buying early varieties, "Mr.
Egan said, is like a man buying
early green corn. He is disgusted
by the poor stuff he gets, but, on
trial, will find a little later, that
the product is all that it should be.
Mr. Egan was greatly encour
aged yesterday by a letter he re-
ceived from ,Mr. O. B. Stevens,
commissioner of agriculture for
Georgia. Mr. Stevens wrote that
he had just been on a trip
through southwest Georgia, where
he had found that all crops
were in much better fix than he
had thought, and that the yield
will exceed expectations. Tobacco,
Mr. Stevens wrote, is now produced
in large quantities in that section.
The farmers are producing crops
of greater diversity than formerly,
and tobacco . has been tried by
many of them as an experiment
and found profitable.—Savannah

• In All Ancient Stupidity.
London, July 2.—Early Russell,
accompanied by the Countess(Mrs.
Somerville), drove to the house of
lords this afternoon and appeared
at the bar. He was formally ta
ken into custody, on the charge
of bigamy, by Black Rod Gen. Sir
Michael Biddulph.
Early Russell made many obe
isances in advancing to^ the bar.
Formerly it Jwas the custom to
to approach the bar in a crawling
position, on hands and feet, but
this has been modified. On reach
ing the bar Lord Russell sank on
•his knees and remained there until
the Lord High Chancellor, Lord
Halsbury, told him to rise. When
asked if he had any application to
make, Earl Russell requested that
the trial be postponed beyond July
18, in order to enable him to pre
pare his defense. His application
will be heard July 4.
The Earl was released on bail.
The proceedings were private.
Odd Uses for Eggs.
Not a few uses are found for the
egg besides serving it for food.
For example, the white of a raw
egg makes a most satisfactory
paste, and for some things is bet
ter than any prepared mucilage
or paste one can buy. Dip it into
the white of an egg the papers in
tended for covers to tumblers of
jelly or jam, and they will hold
not only securely, but will be air
tight. In making mustard plas
ters mix in the White** of an egg,
and there will be no danger of
burning theffesh. The white skin
that lines the shell of an egg is .a
cooling application for a boil. It
is claimed that a raw egg swal
lowed at once, when a fishbone is
caught in the throat, will dislodge
the bone. A better remedy, how
ever, is to fill the mouth with
bread crust and s'wallow without
chewing any more than necessary.
Hoarseness is often relieved by
taking the white of an egg that is
well beaten with loaf sugar ‘and
the juice of one lemon. Besides
serving to make coffee clear an
egg beaten up with the grounds
before they are put into water will
act as a good tonic. To prevent
inflammation m a severe burn or
scald, apply the white of an egg.
This can be done quickly, and will
relieve the stinging immediately.
Some people have difficulty in tak
ing a raw egg when prescribed by
a doctor. Break the egg into a
cup. Be careful not to break the
yolk. Gfaie upon it a little nut
meg, add a few drops of lemon
juice, some chopped parsley, a
little salt and a dash of pepper.
This will make the egg so palata
ble that it will not seem at all like
medicine.
How He Found Him.
. The following story is told con
cerning two sailors, who happened
to be ashore, says Spare Moments.
One of these decided that after
visiting his own friends he would
spend a few days with * his mess
mate. Arriving in the locality
of his mate’s home he was hor
rified to find that he had forgot
ten the number of the house.
After asking in vain policemen,
postmen and pedestrians he caught
sight of a toy windmill man, and
hailing him he offered twopence
for a “blow on his bugle. ”
The man agreed, and jack tar
then gave the ship’s call. A crowd
quickly gathered and stared, at
the musical shilor.
Immediately a window was
thrown up, and a well-known voice
exclaimed:
“Ship ahoy ! Why, mate, your
pipe’s been waiting hours!”
Amid great cheering of the
crowd he very quickly joined his
friend &i d his pipe.
