CAROLINA COTTON MILL NOTES.!
(American Wool and Cotton Reporter.)
Jhe Patterson mill, located in Cabar- I

Kindley. has changed hands and name.
The new company will operate it under
the name of the “Elabala slnuufaetur
iiLg Company.”
New spoolers and drawing frames nr
to lu 1 added to the mill at Manchester.
N. C. The same mill contemplates other
additions in the near future, ii is stated.
A number of new Northrop looms are
being installed at the Spray. N.
“Nantucket” mill.
The lloli-Williamson mill at 1' a.vetie- (
villi. N. (’.. will soon double its eao.acitx.
which means the addition of S,OtM» spin- !
dies. The same company will operate j
a new mill wlueli is now in course ol
construction at Fayetteville, work hav
ing begun on it recently. Still another
mill is in prospect at the same town.
At Charleston, W. Vn.. last week, a
charter was granted to the “Cumberland
cotton mills, of Cumberland, N. * •
This is the mill, the buildings of widen
are located in Cumberland county. N.
Cm near Fayetteville, but have not
hern* operated for sonic time. I learn
to-day, writes the “Reporter's" Carolina
correspondent, that the buildings are to
lie repaired and added to and equipp 'd
with new machinery throughout by
Northern capitalists. ('. IT. Reynolds,
one of the investors interested ;n the

HYMNS KEEP SALOONS CLOSED.
Women Sang When the Council Pro
posed to Change the Closing 1 lour
From 10 to 12 p. m.
(Special to The World.)
Chattanooga. Tenn.. April 5.--Chat
tanooga's religious women last night j
prevented the threatened amendment of
the ordinance requiring saloons to close !
at 10 o'clock in a uniqub way. In the ■
crowded Council chamber KM) ladies
sang "Stand Lp for Jesus” and other
hymns.
During a recent revival conducted ny
Rev. Sam Jones the t arly-closing ordi
nance was passed. The saloon el mient
chafed under the restrictions, ami it was
stated that enough votes to make the
closing hour midnight had bet n secur
ed and that the ordinance would be so
amended.
Soon after the meeting opened the la
dies filed into the chamber and soon pre
sented a petition that the ordinance re
main as it is. Then their voices were
raised in hymn singing, making a scene
rare indeed for a council chamber. Not
a word was said by any Councilman
about changing the closing hour and the
ladies went away happy over their vic
tory.

.SUPPRESS A ELM NMD FOOD.
The doctors inform us that alum is a
poison, and that alum baking powders
should bo avoid'd because tney make the
food unwholesome. Prominent hygien
ists. who have given the matter most
study, regard these powders as an evd
that should be suppressed by State ac-l
lion. In Minnesota and Wisconsin
alum povdu's arc not permitted to be)
sold unless they are branded to warn |
consumers of their true character, while
in the District of Columbia the authori
ties have under the dimuioii of Con
gress adopted regulations to prohibit t!i
use of ahuu in bread altogether.
Are not the people of other states, as
well as those of Minnesota and Wiscon
sin. entitled to warning of a danger
which is apparently menacing them at
close hand, and is not the whole country
entitled to absolute protection, as the
people of the District of Columbia arc
protected, by legislation which is en
tirely prohibitive ?
I util we can have protection m the
form of a statute, how can our State
hoards of health. State analyists »r food
commissions better serve tiie public than
by publishing in the newspapers from
time to time the names of the baking
[Kiwders which tiny find to lie made

Meantime, it will aid the housewife

member that all powders sold at 25 cts.
