A Djre Wanted. Our consul In Birmingham says that several years ago one of the Barbers, of threadmaklng fame, told him that the discoverer of a fast blade dye for linen thread could command bis on price. Examine the thread holding the buttons in men's clothing, and yon will see that after a short time the blade disappears, and even new linen thread has not sufficient depth of color. It Is Impossible to find in the English shops men's black cotton socks with tops at all elastic. The fast black dye for cot ton was the discovery of an English chemist English hose manufacturers would not at first buy his secret, but the Germans did and built up a trade all over the world.

Interesting Fact Brought Out by the Census of the Present Year. Washington, Sept. 26. Statistics have been compiled at the Census Bureau, based upon the populations ot large cities which have been announced up to the present time, which show a most interesting fact in relation to the growth ot cities. It demonstrates that the 155 largest cities in the United States numer ically increased in population from 1890 to 1UU almost exactly as tbey did be tween 1880 and 1890, Tbese 155 cities Increased their population ; 4,70G.10t -from 1880 to 1890 and 4,627.853 from 1890 to 1900. or just 78.154 lees during thd latter than the former period. Of course, when the aggregate percentages of increase of the population of these 155 cities during these two periods are compared, they show that the percentage of increase was considerably lower in the last ten years, because the increase is . compared with a larger population in 1900 than it was in 1890. The fact that, numerically, the increase of the population of tbese cities has come out just about the same during the last two censuses ia more interesting from the fact that the rates of increase of the various cities have varied greatly. . The Hannaltes Hate Blmmons. Winston Journal 1 ' ' Mr. Simmons typifies to every Itepub- ican, Democratic success. lie Is regarded by the opposition as tbe very incarna tion of the constitutional amendment. They hate him and they fear him. Tbey pray daily that he may be defeated, and if their prayers are granted every Ilan naite will regard it as in some measure a -compensation for their recent Waterloo. We cannot anord to throw away any of the fruits of that hard earned victory, nor can we so soon forget the gallant ' leader always found in the thickest of the battle who made that victory pos sible. The Journal has not aught to say against any aspirant for. the high office of United States senator. It would, bow- ever, be false to its convictions if it failed . to call the attention of its constituency to these vital matters. To repudiate Mr. Simmons is to discredit the cause for for which be fought. : Ilev. John C.
