Gravity is acting on the water of course, but it is also acting on everything around the water. Hence we have air pressure. The air pressure is so great that it manages to push down on the water forcing the water to travel up the paper towel, so the paper towel is acting kind of like a mercury barometer.
When you look at a water drop. It hold's itself in a droplet shaped figure. The reason for that is because water molecule has 2 hydrogen molecule and 1 oxygen. That acts as a magnet and it hols on to other water molecules. Which then wont allow the other water molecules to saperate. Therefore holding a droplet shape.
The fibers of the cloth somehow attract the water perhaps?

is it anything to do with the osmosis principal with the water moving from an area of high concentration to and area of low concentration?
