more accurate cotton statistics.

Among men most prominently identi- the department at Washington to insure fied with cotton interests of the South, Mr. Harvie Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Association, stands pre-eminently ahead of his fellows in his work for the welfare of the cotton grower. He had a hand in the cottonholding and other movements in the South which helped to almost double the price of cotton last year. He has now set the mark at 15 cents, as voted at the recent convention in New Orleans, and incidentally is stirring up

FRAME SPINNING.

Things Which the Overseer

Know and Attend To.

Should

Having taken notice of the criticism upon his office by Pres. Jordan and others, director North of the Census Bureau declared last week that he hoped Congress would relieve him of all further work in connection with cotton statistics. "It is the most disagreeable and annoying work I have ever known," said Mr. North. "These reports are got up for the benefit of the southern people, but they seem to be devoting all their energies toward discrediting them."

stick to them.
this is the case, and cotton will stick
to parts of new frames until such time
as the oil finds its way into the pores
of the new iron. Then there is a suc-
tion that holds the oil in the spindles.
Cotton will stick to new rails as long
as the oil is working into the pores;
afterwards the trouble is over.

From observation I find

The man in charge of the room should have charge of all travelers. The second hand, third hand, or any other hand should not change from one number of traveler to another without first consulting the overseer, for when a boss spinner becomes careless about travelers and allows his help to I do the same, we can see his finish. The boss spinner who hesitates when asked what number of traveler he wants to use is not properly onto his job, for the high speed large ring with 8-inch bobbin, 7-inch traverse of today is not to be fooled with.

Here are some of the things the boss spinner should think about: stock, twist in yarn, size of ring, speed of front roll, length of bobbin, length of traverse, size of bobbin, make of separator, width of separator, distance between head of bobbin and wire board, whether the wire boat is up. b. down, the weather, help, etc."

Worn out travelers should be taken off in due time and new ones put on. This is very important, and a room cannot be run successfully, unless this is done. Great care should be taken not to mix travelers in boxes or on frames. The seven bobbins of roving for sizing should be set in on a frame in the centre of the room if possible; not banding new

next to windows. In
frames. after each man has put on
twenty bands, it is best to start the
frame for a minute, then skip twenty
spindles and so continue. It is also
best for the men to change sides occa-
sionally. If this is not done the stronger
man will have tighter bands on his
side, which is apt to spring the cylinder.

A KNIGHT OF THE SPINDLE.

Guseman, West Va.-The Englehart Woolen Mill Co., who had the misfortune to be burned out in December, 1905, is making very good progress on

its new mill. The foundation for the
new structure is completed. The lum-
ber is being put on the ground and the
contractors will begin work on the
erection of it about Feb. 10. Mr. J. M.
East where he has been the past two
Englehart has just returned from the
weeks buying machinery. He reports
that he has bought the carding and spin-
ning machinery consisting of two sets
of 48x48 inch Smith cards and four
Johnson & Basset mules, new and up-
to-date. It is stated that the firm is
figuring on buying the new Crompton &
Thayer cassimere loom.

Many a spinner has lost the action of the weather and the his job from trouble on this account, hand re-built, and it promises to be the and he never knew why.

Many a good running spinning room has been "busted"-so termed-in less than an hour by a South wind, which is disastrous to a ring spinning room, especially at this time of the year, and on fine yarns.
