•TART UP THE MILLS.
We can’t but think U’a had policy
on the part of some of the tnllln to
abut down for a month or no In the
summer Fixed charges, salaries, de
preclattcfh. etc,, go steadily on. while
the mill la cloned down. As a rule,
the only saving Is In the wage* paid
to the hands —two pitiful payrolls.
The amount of this saving Is <mall In
the year’s business, but It means a
whole lot to the mill worker. It means
he must he Idle one month out of the
year and use up what small saving
he hae made In eleven months work
to find himself and family In enforced
Mime*?.
in C4inr hr ban not mivM enough tn
eleven months work In the mill to tide
him over the month of enforced Idle
ness. he must go In debt and mort
gage his wages when the mill does
start up.
If the mills are going to shut down
one month out of the twelve they
ought to pay wages during the eleven
months that will enable the operatives
to support themselves during this
month of enforced Idleness. Some
years ago the Oranltevllle Mill adopt
ed a policy something like this: When
the mill shut down the operatives
were given half pay while the mill
was Idle. It la a good policy. An In
dustry that igui't pay good wages and
give steady employment all the year
round isn't much htlp to a commun
lly.
Just now with the markets of the
-world cut off from new supplies, with
new trade and new markets open to
this country, with the competition of
English. French, German and Russian
mills removed, there Is every reason
why the cotton mills of this country
Should be running on full time and
with dav and night shifts. START UP
THE MILLS.
SUGGESTIONS FOR SAFELY
STORING AND FINANCING
THE COTTON CROP.
Here Is ths practical plan proposed
for safely storing and financing the
cotton crop of the South this season.
It applies to every town and village In
ths South. It's worth your sitontion;
First. Thst every town In the
ootton section, through communi
ty effort, rstebllsh warehouses
adequate to safely store one-half
of the crop normally marketed at
such place, and that frame build -
inns destKued for this purpose be
covered with metal so ns to In
crease protection end reduce In
surance rates.
Second That the cltlmena of a
town establishing a warehouse,
organise s warehouse company
for the purpose of Issuing au
thoritative receipts for stored cot
ton. to be used ns a basis of credit
with the local banka.
Third. That Ihe local hanks
make liberal advances on cotton so
aimed and protected, and use
their national bank correspond
ents freely for re-dlacounte—thus
malting It possible to limit offer
ings 10 commercial demand.
It le manifestly Impossible, even
though the means wer# Immediately
available, to construct elaborate and
permanent brick warehouses In urns
to meet the present emergency, but
this limitation only accentuates ths
necessity for utilising avery possible
resource, and frame structures prop
erly protected by metal covering
could probably he mede to provide
temporary relief Moreover, many
localities would doubtless find It prac
ticable to convert large buildings Into
storage space, and It la believed pos
sible. with prompt and energetic
action, to provide storage facilities of
the character Indicated In time to pre
vent a serious decline In Ihe price of
cotton
This Is a mailer thst concerns every
cltlsen pf the South, and efforts to
provide the necessary means for pro
tecting our great staple should find
a ready response from all classes
without regard to vocation.

A NEWSPAPER IS A PERSONALITY
(11. J. Haskell in the Outlook.)
It might as well be admitted frankly
that the nweapaper Is a personality
rather than a common carrier of news:
In fact, that It cannot be a common
carrier of news because it would be
swamped with Its freight. All that
can he expected of It is that it report
the news honestly as a person of a
certain altitude and viewpoint might
a pervasive and extended person,
but still a person.
War May Benefit South
The European wsr news has brought
considerable optimism Into the Rtr*
mlngham district in regard to pig Iron
market conditions. Iron makers here
are practically unanimous that noth
ing could have happened better for
the American pig Iron market than
the European war.
It Is pointed out first that all dan
ger of imports under the Underwood
tariff Is eliminated for the Immediate
future and probably for years to come.
It develops that local Iron men had
felt considerably apprehensive of the
possible effeet of competition between
local pig Iron and Iron Imported ns
ballast In ships and earning In under
the low tariff. All danger of this
competition they now consider gone,
at least for the present and they,
therefore, regard the home situation
In Itself as holding a very much bet
ter prospect for the future.
The second consideration, however,

Telegrams have been received from
the following places In latln America

Reports, stating that the merchants In
thoee cities are desirous of‘securing

Colon—Cheap laundry soap, cotton,
piece goods, canned intiks. rice.

This conception of the newspaper
may be verified In the experlenoa of
any reader. The world aeen by the
New York Evening Journal Is essen
tially different from the world seen
by thh New York Evening Post. The
difference between these two worlds
is the difference between two person
alities that see them. One newspaper
personality may be cynical, clever,
frivolous; another coarse-grained,
flashy, bluffing, with all the attributes
of a confidence man; another sober,
sedate, cultured, conservative; another
breesy, entertaining, radical, delight
ing In new things. The new* reports
as well as the cdtlorials of any news
paper will be determined In large
measure by the sort of personality that
It has developed.
JUSTICE.

not say)
Two trav'lers found an oyater In their
way;
Both fierce, both hungry, the dispute
grew strong.
While, scale In hand, name Justice

Before her each with clamour pleads
the laws,
Explain'd the matter, and would win
the cause.
Dame Justice, weighing long the
doubtful right,
Takes, opens, swallows It, before their
sight.
The cause of strife remov’d ao rarely
well,
There take, nays Justice, take you each
a shell.
We thrive at Weatmtnater on fools
like you—
'Twas a fat oyater—live In peace—

la the war itself. It Is claimed by
furnace makers that the enormous
wreckage and waste following In the
wake of the armies will not only de
stroy forts, bridges, factories, etc.,
which will have to he rebuilt, but
that the very Iron Industry itself of
the Kuropean countries will be par
alyzed for a long time. In all cases
possible, blast furnaces, mines, foun
dries and other plants will be blown
up and destroyed. It Is claimed, before
allowed to fall Into the hands of a
hostile army. Those which are not
thus destroyed will he pul to work to
manufacture materials for war us*,
the whole situation thus resulting In
reversing what Iron men had expected
to happen and they are looking for

HOW BILLY PIG KEPT HOUSE.
One morning Hilly Pig’s mother told
him she wars going to market. "I shali
not be home until supper time,” she
said. “You can rake up the leaves
and make the yard tidy, and fill the
woodbox and bring a pall of water
from the spring.
"Put the new potatoes on to boil, for
I am going to have soup for supper,
and don’t you dare drink the pan of
milk dn the shelf in the pantry."
Billy Pig smiled as he thought of
the nice, long day he should have. "I
can do that little work in a short
time,” he said, as he watched his
mother go down the road.

< <*o*r
Billy Pig satby the window until
almqst diner time, and just a* he got
out of his chair he saw Billy Goat
coming down the road.
“Oh, oh!" thought Billy Pig *1 will
have gome fun with you, my fine fel
low.”
Billy Pig ran behind the door and
took his mother's apron from the hook
and put it on, then he took her shawl
and put that around his shoulders.
He put her cap on his head and put
on her spectocles and, taking her knit
ting the window sill, sat»
down in her chair and began to knit,
or pretend to.
When Billy Goat reached the house
he said: “How do you do. Madam
Pig," for he saw the top of Madame
Pig's cap and supposed that she was
there.
Billy Pig nodded, and said as near
like his mother as he could, "Won't
you come in. Billy Goat?”
Billy Goat accepted the Invitation
for he was very fond of Madam Plg'e
cooking.
"Sit down." said Billy Pig. bending
lower over hie knitting Billy Goat
took a seat and looked around to see
If Billy Pig was anywhere-in sight.
Billy Pig chuckled to think he was
fooling Billy Goat, and that was his
undoing, for Billy Goat saw him and
he began to watch Madam Pig knit.
‘•You knit alowly today," he re
marked, and/then he noticed that she
w»e not knitting, but Just pretending
to.
•That Is not Madam Pig at all; It
Is Billy Pig. Madam Pig has gone to
market and left him to keep house,"
he thought
“Isn't It about dinner time?" he
asked
“Yes" replied Billy Pig. hoping that
Billy Goat would go. for he was not
having the fun he expected. "And If
you meet my son I hope you will try
to be nice to him; you are always
trying to get him Into mischief, and
l do Ant like It ."
"If 1 meet him. Madam Pig." re
plied Billy Goat, “I will tell ht.n that
he has a nice mother, and that he
should try to he more like her. Then
I shall no doubt give him a good but
ting with iny horns." and he held his
head down In a most threatening man
ner.
"But I do not think I will bother to
go home for my dinner. I will take a
peek Into your pantry and see what
you have for Billy Pig's dinner. He
Is not here, and I may as wettest It."
Billy Goat ate all he wanted, which
was all of Billy Pig’s dinner, then he
filled his pockets with oookles and
drank some of the milk In the pan,
which Billy Pig’s mother had told him
not to touch.
“Thak you for my dinner. Madam
Pig,” said Billy Goat, as he went out,
“and if I meet Billy Pig I will tell him
what I think of him. He should be
ashamed not to come home to such a
nice dinner as you had for him.”
When Billy Goat was out of eight
Billy Pig took off his mother's clothes
and ran into the pantry. He was so
hungry that he had to eat somecook
les and drink more of the m4lk, so
that there was not enough to make
the soup his mother had planned to
have for supper.
When his mother returned she was
very angry.
"Go outin the yard and cut me a
switch," she told Billy Pig,
Billy Pig began to cry and told his
mother all about Billy Goat "I shall
whip you just the same," said his
mother. "You would not have got ip
to trouble If you had not put off your
work."

THE ROSE FAIRY’S DANCE.
(By Virginia Vale.)
Once upon a time the Rose Fairy
thought she ought to give a dance.
So she sent out the invitations
for next tveek. They were written
on her very best roseleaf paper
and the Golden Bumble Bee car
ried them to her friends.
It was to be given in the rose
garden and the fairies were busy
sail day gathering rose leaves and
spreading them on the grass, and
the crickets said they would give
a concern before they started £o
dance. The fire flies were to bring
all their friends so there, would be
plenty of light and every one said
it was going to be the dance of the
season. The Golden Bumble Bee
kept buzzing around helping all
he could and going on errands sos
them.
The Rose Fairy received her
guests on a raised platform cov
ered with roses and In a silver
and rose dress the spider had
made for her How they all danc
ed -and laughed and sang until
nearly midnight, then they went
to supper In an arbor covered
with all kinds or roses. There
was honey, sugared rose petals,
rose wafers and lots of other nice
things all served on a cool green
leaf. After they had eaten th«y all
walked through the garden and
tl\e Fairy showed them her prize
rose tree, and gave them each a
hloasom. When It was time to go
home they all danced the dance of
the roses and said good night.
Every one said they had enjoy
ed the evening very much and the
Rose went to her bed of
roses tired but very happy because
all her friends had enjoyed her
dance.
