"Lena Rivers," with Miss Edna Marshal] as "Lena." This attraction wfll be here November 17th. "Lena Rivers" has endured the test of more than half a cen tury of enthusiastic readers, readers who must number several millions', for besides the great sale the book has long enjoyed it is always in de mand at the circulating libraries. As prepared for the stage by Miss Poynter, it tells a simple but ab sorbing story. "Lena" is a girl of the North concerning whose paren tage there is more or less doubt. She lives with her grandmother and they are very poor. A turn in af fairs takes them to the South to live with an uncle whose wife and daugh ter lose no opportunity to make the little girl feel uncomfortable. Not even the plain frocks In which they dress her can conceal her beauty, however, and before long she at tracts the attention af a gallant young man of the South who wins her love, only to be met by oppo sition from his parents, In the end everything is straightened out nice ly and the honor of her name is vindicated and the last curtain de-1 scends with the audience assured that ,"they lived happily ever after." i Miss Edna Marshall is. supported j by an exceptionally strong cast.

SHORT COTTON CROP CAUSE THE SPINNERS TO BUY UP AND U8E LINTERS. Manufacturers the World Over Are Trying Substitute for the High Price Longer Staple. A dispatch from Atlanta to the Augusta Herald says with the price of cotton sky-high and the cotton crop throughout the South acknowl edged to bo very short, the spinners the world over are in the market for any substitute for the long staple for manufacturing purposes. This state of affairs has given a new Impetus to the market for "lint ers," as they are commonly called, which is that fibre which the cotton oil mills of the South take from the cotton seed before crushing the same to extract the oil and grind the cake into meal. This staple is not very long, but this year, on account of the splendid weather during which the cotton has beon picked from the fields, it is un usually, free from stains and of ad mirable spinning quality. As a result, there are Bcores of buyers of Unters in the South who are visiting the various cotton oil mills and mill headquarters buying up those bales of Hilters?Georgia alone making 75,000 bales of 500 pounds each?which are to be ship ped abroad for spinning purposes. Harry R. Solomon, of the firm of Solomon Bros. & Co., of New York; Hanover, Germany, Lille, France, one of the largest export-import houses in the world, spent Thursday in At lanta on his last stop of his two months' trip through the South, pur chasing the Unters offered for sale in and around this market. These "linterB" are shipped abroad where the staple is spun into merce rized silk and manufactured into va rious articles of wear and Imported into this country. Those Unters which are not sold for spinning pur.: poses are manufactured in thl# epun ,try into cloth, felts, made up into mattresses and used as a padding for comforts. ? ? i The Bale of '"Unters," another most interesting by-product- of the cotton seed, now a inoBt important part of the cotton crop, has only been de veloped in the South a few years, but is. rapidly taking ita place among ithe by-products which are now so universally used the world over.
