The temper of leaders of the house," who are now in the city, is reported td be very urai in the directions rindi3at.ea. Commendable is the movement among the governors of southern states 'to put a stop to the all-too-prevalent practice of lynching criminals. In their messages, to their respective legislatures, many have proposed -plans by which they at least hope to reduce the number of lynchings, if not entirely wipe out the practice.

This keeps the men busy and helps pay the? cost of the maintenance of the institutions.. . ' - I THE FIRST COTTON MILL. Washington's Diary Flxest Its location a. A Beverly, Mass. Several different towns in the United States claim the unique distinction of hav ing erected the'first American cotton mill, but from the best information that can be obtained it seems that 'the credit properly belongs to the town of Beverly, Mass. The circumstances leading up to this discovery may be of interest to our read ers. Some years ago Mayor Rantoul of Salem, Mass., was invited to Pawtucket, R. I., to attend the centennial .exercises held at that place in commemoration of the opening of the famousJBlater mill. ! In Bending out invitations to this centennial event the owners of the mill claimed it to be the first establishment of its kind ever erected in - the United States. - For some reason Mayor Rantoul was unable to be present at the exercises, but being deeply interested in historical researches he de cided at his leisure to investigate the claims of the Pawtucket mill owners. This investigation led to the discovery that the old cotton mill at Beverly, Mass., which was Knrned down in 1838, had been In operation .for several years prior to the establishment of the mill at Pawtucket, and that no less a witness than General Washington himself could be cited in con firmation of the fact. It seems that Gen eral Washington, while on a tour of the New England states in 1789, made a visit to the old Beverly cotton mill and was so impressed with the novelty of, the spectacle that he devoted several pages of his diary to its description. This old diary is still to be found among General Washington's papers. N As the researches of Mayor Rantoul seemed to settle the matter beyond all con troversy, the residents of Beverly, Mass., caused a handsome tablet to be erected on the site of the old' mill, commemorating the establishment of the first1 enterprise of its kind ever inaugurated in the United States. Atlanta Constitution. A Child's Question. ' There is a little bit of a boy in this town who will probably get his name in the pa pers some day. A few mornings ago the people -wha think he Is the prettiest and wisest child on earth, had ham and eusa lor breakfast. When his papa had finished and was about -to start down town; the child's mamma said: ; I. . .-, "Stop'a moment, OeorgeV There's some egg on your mustache." ' - ' Darn It I V exclaimed George. "I guess I'll cut it off." , ' A few days later the child happened to notioe thegold filling in his mother's teeth. V - ' " " " " Oh, mamma, dere's egg on your toofs, " he said. ' . : - "My, my!!1 vshe replied, pretending to wipe the, imaginary egg;' off.-VI wonder how it got thereP" , - t The boy was silent for - a few minutes, during which he seemed: to Be thinking hard. At last he asked;- ' ' "Mamma, why don't oo say darn'too?" Cleveland Leader. ? s A Bee's Stlxtcr "''. ' AX3erman chemist, Joseph Laiiger, has succeeded with infinite patience in analyz ing he poison of a bee's stingy The amount secreted by, each bee is-only' a tenth of a milligram and he required 20, 000 bees to get enough to experiment with. He did not discover any baoteria and con cluded that the action of the-poison' was purely chemical. 4 - . .-. ' - . - 'V (V " - ' i,C ' ; -' "; "y: TO: CTJRB "A OOLD .
