BB a* No Limit to Cottou Mills?. Charlotte, N. C., January 1.-In .o interview with an Associated ^ess reporter Mr D. A. Tompkins, he well known cotton mill expert, akes a most encouraging view of extile conditions in the South, n reply to a quest iou as to the (respects of new mill construction n 1900 Mr Tompkins said that ex ?ectationB in this line will be fully net. "Tb<- machine manufact urers in the United States," said tfr Tom pk i UR. "can make 2,500,000 pindles a year. That is the ex en t of their output. The new nills to be built in 1900 Will re. luire 2.000,000 spindles fol* their iquipment, so that the mill con. itruction this year will be very ?early equal to the capacity of j ;he machine plants to turu out ipiudles." Continuing, Mr Tompkins said : ?New England has 13,000,000] ipiudles, of which 7,000,000 are ocated iu Massachusetts. There ire now 5,000,000 spindles in the South. At the end of 1900 the South will have 7,000,000 spindles md New Jd gland will still have 13,000,000. In Massachusetts new spindles are being put in on fine stuff s only, while the old ones are jeiug discontinued ou coarse ?tuff. "Old England has 46,000,00 jpindles; the South 5,000,000 ; the Quited States,. including the Middle States, 20,000,000. At the .ate of 2,000,000 new spindles a ,?ear, the present rate of increase, eu years from now the United State would have about the same lumber of spindles ab England. 3f tht.se. New England and the biddle States would probably iav^ 20,000,000, all on fine goods, md the South 25,000,000. In >ther words, the United States in L910 will have as many spindles is England, and the South will, lave more spindles than New Eng- j aud aud the Middle States com bined." Mr Tompkins says there is not ;he slightest fear of over-pro luction if we properly develop >ur maiket opportunit?*. The j 3rient, he says, might he developed to take the product of 10,000,000 spindles in ten years, over and Mid above the present production. Just how remote the possibility of Jver-preduction is, is manifest from the fact that it will require 100,000,000 spindles to manufac ture the cotton crop of the world ii,to the average grade of cloth, and it has been shown there -are but 20,000,000 spindles in the United States and 5,000,000 in the South.

T> GBIOiK Sugar From Watermelons. Bowling Green. Ky., Dec. 28. D. Hanez, a farmer and gardener bus recently made some successful axperinients in making au ex aellent quality of syrup from ?vatermelens. He will shortly ittempt to convert eorae of the syrup into sugar aud expects !o bc mccessful. Mr. Hansz figures a big profit in nelous if used for making syrups, in an interview he said: "From eighreen melons, weigh ing from 20 to 25 pouuds, we made rwo gallons and one pint of syrup. ?Ve cut the melons in halves, cut >ut the pulp, ground it in a cider uill and pressed out the juice. We bolled the juice in porcelain settles on the kitchen stove for twelve hours. With a cider mill ind bot air or steam evaporator : wo men can make 2 5or 30 gallons af syrup per day. At the above ?gures it would take about 270 nelone to make 30 gallons of syrup, worth $15. Melons would lae worth* at wholesale about $6, iud it would take them two or three days to haul and sell them at Harket. With a mill and an jvaporator in the melon patch, a Farmer and one or two hands could realise 100 per cent more by mak mgthem into syrup and feeding the refuse to bogs, cattle, horses ind chickens, which eac it greedily.

C., Jan. 4.-Tbe lispute between Congressman Latimer, of South Carolina, and Admiral McNair, superintendent af the Naval academy, is causing aoonsiderable excitement in Was hington and unless au amicable settlement is reached foday Mr. Latimer w?l probably prefer charges agaiust the management af the academy. Whether the charges are pre ferr ad or not Secretary Long says the t?tair shall be officially invest?gate ??V . ' The row grows out of the resigna tion of Cadet Maxwell, of Ander 8on, South Carolina, which had been requested oy Admiral McNair on account of Maxwall's alJeged interference with the holiday festivities. Mr. Lalimer went to Annapolis-to eee Admiral McNair and a stormy interview ensued. . Fight for Capt Shell's Place. Washington, January 5.-An interesting fight for a ceusus eupervisorship is attracting the attention of the South Carolina colony. The place in question is that created by the death of Mr Shell, of Laurens^ and the district is the oue including the Congress ional districts of Mr Latimer and Mr Wilson. These gentlnmen and Senator Tillman have united in recommending lor the place J. Thomas Austin, of Greenville. Senator McLaurin, on the other hand, haB recommended the Rev A. J. S. Thomas, the Baptist editor, whose home is also at Greenville. It is understood that Governor Merriam, the director of the census, haB recommended the ?ppointment of Mr Austin, both because of the fact that he is supported by the senior Senators aud the two Representatives direct ly introduced and because Mr. Wilson is a member of the House committee on the census, and Senator Tillman was a member of the committee which framed the present census law. The appointment is made by the President and Senatoi McLaurin has made the fight in favor of his ?Meiil?GCOiitoIire The experiments of modern phy sicians and scientists have established the fact that many of the germs of disease enter the body by the inhalation of air laden with bacteria or microbes. These germs are very small but their work is deadly. Still many of them are comparatively harmless in health ; but as soon as an organ is diseased it is attacked. The experimets of Koch and others have shed much Ughtjupou this important subject But up to the present time the culture of bacteria appears to have met with much better success than theil* destruction. As we can do do little to destroy these miuufn. marnies, is not the mo6t sensible course to strengthen and revitalize the system BO that ii may repel and resipt their destructive in fluence, and does it not 8eem vi ry tithing that the revitalizing element should enter the body through inhalation of oxgeu which is at ?mee a revitalizer and germicide?
