Washlngto Special to New York Commercial. W. W. Finley, president of the Southern Railway, thinks that the cotton mill industry In the South suf fered less through the late financial business depression than mtlls in other parts of the country. Mr. Fin ley made this remark by way of com ment on the preliminary report of the census bureau on cotton con sumption in the United States dur ing the cotton year ended August 31st last, and added: “As compared with the previous year, there was an increase of 565, 996, or 5.1 per cent, in the number of active spindles In the cotton-pro ducing States, as compared with an Increase of only 458,709, or 2.T per cent, in all other States. "There was a decrease of the con sumption of raw cotton in the Sou thern mills as compared with the previous year, of 154,380 bales, or 6.4 per cent. This la to be compared with a decrease of 255,118 bales or 9.9 per cent, in the mills of other sections. This is the more remark able in view of the fact that, relative ly, a larger proportion of the South ern mills depend for their normal market od the north China trade, which was virtually dead during the entire period covered by this report. “On the whole the statistics fur nish additional evidence of the su perior advantages of the South for the location of cotton mills.” Mr. Finley Is greatly in earnest in his policy of building up the indus trial South, this effort having been tor some time one of the most con spicuous aims of the railway’s man agement aside from the regular op eration of the transportation system and the maintenance of the property. The railroad is making special ef forts to encourage the settlement of desirable immigrants in the South, and .n this way to meet the demand for efficient labor. Seven men and one woman were killed In an explosion in a grain ele vator at Richford. Vt„ Wednesday. Several buildings and 75 freight cars were burned, the loss being $400,000.

They are George Hall, of Rowan county, sentenced for 15 years for conspiracy, he being one of the leadefB of the mob which lynched some negroes at Salisbury three or four years ago.

For those who enjoy a western drama whose characters are all drawn from life, and are absolutely natural, a rare treat is in store when "The Girl -from Missouri” arrives in town. The scenery and electric ef fects are beautiful in the extreme and absolutely correct. The play is thrilling, intensely interesting, bristling with clever lines, and its love story Is touching.

Chil dren are generally bothered at some period with incontinence of urine, and Inability to retain it Is ofttlmes called a habit.

Mrs. Catherine Gardner, 32 Tren ton Mill House, Gastonia, N. C., says: “My little daughter had kid ney trouble from Infancy and caused us a great deal of trouble by her In ability to control the kidney secre tions, this being especially bother some at night. She also complained at times of pains in her back and was very weak and nervous. I con sulted physicians and gave her num erous remedies but she gradually grew worse. I finally learned ol Doan's Kidney Pills and deciding to have her give them a trial', procured a box from the Williams Drug Co. The contents of this box strengthen ed her kidneys, disposed of the paint In her back and banished the kid ney difficulty.
