ABSOLUTELY PURE

Austill has also introduced bill provd- ing for a county board of three members, the assessor being a member ex-officio. Not having seen the bill, l mention It only to say that the senator is proceeding in the right line, according to my opinion. 1 have no criticism to make on the estab- lishment of a state board. It would per- haps be best even in addition to the county boards, but of itself it cannot reach the root of the evil. And standing alone, it will encounter much objection. A good, plain democrat remarked in my hearing tthat it would be another railroad com mission." l do not say this to prejudice the idea, but to illustrate.
 In tact, l would like to be member of the board. The work would be congenial. But n my opinion the commission would in measure fail to accomplish the results expected, except in connection and In CO., operation with the county boards.
 The main point is to create, or rather to arrive at, uniform standard of values. The plan advanced in a former article was to create A county board, one member from each voting precinct, to be appointed, Of course, and I would add the assessor as ex- officio clerk of the commission. This board to meet once in four years, that be- ing the limit of the assessors term of of- flee, the values so fixed to remain un- changed for that time, except for cause. These county boards having arrived at the true market value of all the real estate from personal Knowledge and examination a uniform tax value should be established, say of 75 per cent. At this point would come in higher and central authority. have somewhere read that the state of Illinois allows a rate of so per cent for tax value-a bad law if the tax payer fixes the true value.
 Personal property, owing to it's changing nature, must be revalued annually. l will not burden this article with an elabo- ration of details.
 But there are other Irregularities in our tax laws that should be rectified whenever the subject is taken up for revision. The auditor well says that an exemption of liabilities from solvent credits is class legislation in favor of the money lender, who needs no discrimination in his favor. For instance, l borrow S6000 to put with my S500O to buy farm. l am allowed no exemption on account of the mortgage and ought not to be-nor on account of any other debts that may owe, but the holder of the solvent credit, doubly secured, is allowed 10 exempt all his liabilities, personal or otherwise, of which privilege he is not usually reluctant to avail himself.

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

Lhe new cotton compress that was re- gently completed in this city compressed 1000 bales of cotton yesterday. It expects to receive 30, 600 bales during the season.
 The new cotton factory at Talladega is running full time, and shipments of thread are made regularly to the East. The iac- tory employs about fifty people, largely boys and girls. The factory was built with home capital.
 The British ship Maroa that sailed from New Orleans with over Is, 900 bales of cot ton left Wales some three weeks ago with cargo of Welsh coal which it sold in Cuba and then loaded with a cargo of fruit for New Orleans. In this way it made the voy- age pay.
 Senator Morgan has sfven notice that he will call up the Nicaragua Canal bill in the Senate the first part of next week. The House has consented to devote three days to its consideration. The President in his message does not forget the canal. Now is the time to strike. Mayor VanHoose should call a town meeting and let the cit izens in mass meeting assemb mbled petition Congress to pass the Nicaragua Canal bill at once.
 The country bankers throughout the South report the financial condition of the farmers as being better than for years, in spite of the low price of cotton. Gen. R. D. Johnston of the Alabama National Bank says: "The reports from all quar- ters are that the farmer is in better condi- tion than at any previous time since the war; that the iron rod of a bitter experi- ence has gone into his soul and taught him the absolute necessity of providing his own food supplies; hence he has meat and corn to make his crop next year. That there will be more diversity in the crop in the future is an assured fact"
 The State of Minnesota instituted an im- migration burean in 1891, and the result was large influx of population. The Legislature subsequently, abolished the bureau, on the ground that immigration was pouring in so rapidly that the State could afford to stop spending money for that purpose. But now that the tide of immigration is setting Southward the State will re- establish the bureau and give it in- creased power. The Alabama Legislature should not adjourn without giving Ala bama an Immigration Commissioner.

 The government work on the Warrior river is going ahead smoothly, and the locks above Tuskaloosa will be ready for barges this coming summer. When this work is completed navigation between the coal region of the Birmingham district and the gulf will be open the year round. This imnrovement will not only give access to the coal fields, but also to the forests of hard wood. After the timber is cut off these bottom lands will be cultivated, and will grow as fine cotton and corn as the Black Belt, with the advantage of having cheap transportation to market.

ALABAMA'S

AWAKENED INTEREST IN COTTON MANu-
 FACTURING.
 Manufactdrer's Record.
 In letter to the Manufacturers' Heeord MT. L. L. Gilbert, secretary of the Com mercial and Industrial association of Mont. gomery, says:
 There is general awakening in Alabama in regard to the building of cotton mills. We have seen too many of these established in other southern states in comparison with the number started in Alabama, and we are now realizing what our trouble has been. We are now pressing two resolu- tons before the general assem ply of the state-one to repeal the existing law pro- hibiting women and children from working more than eight hours in manufacturing enterprises, and one to exempt new cotton mills from taxation, state county and municipal, for period of ten years. These will oubtedly be passed, and we will stretch forth welcoming hand to cotton mills moving south.
 Several years ago, when Alabama was de- voting it's attention so largely to the devel- opment of it's iron and coal interests, the Manufacturers Record persistently urged upon the business men of that state'the di- versitication of industrial development, and urged especially that cotton mills should be built throughout the state. Blessed with good climate, with many water powers and with cheap coal, raising large cotton crops and having an abundant supply of labor, Alabama ought to give the Carolinas good close race for first position in cotton manufacturing. Parts of the state have climate very similar to that of the Piedmont region of the Carolinas, in which cotton development has made such great strides. Had the advice of the Manu- facturers' Record, so often pressed upon the people of Alabama. been needed, the general depression in iron would have had less effect upon the state than it has had, because this would have been partially offset by the prosperity of it's cotton manufacturing interests. If the legislature of Alabama will repeal the law prohibiting women and children from working more than eight hours, putting the state in this respect on an equality with the Carolinas and Georgia, and will pass a law exempting new mills from taxation for ten years, there will soon be very decided activity in the organization of cotton mill enterprises. Thousands of women and children, who are now forced to remain In idleness because of the lack of employ ment, will then find work in cotton mills, and the state, no longer so dependent upon coal and iron as it has been, will take a new step in industrial advancement and press forward more vigorously than ever before.

keeping the streets of Birmingham clean l. They think they can thus give employment to many poor people, and also add to the general health and cleanliness of the city by keeping the streets well swept. On this new line of woman's work the Baltimore Sun says: "Colonel Strong, the mayor elect of New York, has caused hutter among the women of that city by declaring in his recent speech at the Chamber of Com meree dinner that he knew ofa woman who would make an excellent head of the street. cleaning department. He said he did not know that such an appointment would be popular, but he added T know one thing, that all of us are Indebted to our wives and mothers for clean homes, and don't know any class of persons that would be so likely to clean our streets thoroughly and cheaply as a woman at the head of the department. Colonel Strong need have no fear as to the popularity of such selection. The pro- fessional politicians might not like it, but the people would, for feminine supervision would mean clean streets.''
 The show windows of the Birmingham stores are marvels of art and ingenuity. All the appliances of electricity, all the taste of artists, all the rare fabrics from all quarters of the globe have been drawn on to beautiiy these windows. They are the welcome harbingers of Christmas aud are among the most choice blessings that the holiday season brings. They gratify the most esthetic taste, awaken the elthu i. asm Of children and satisfy the most in- tense love for the beautiful. The people in the surrounding towns and villages will findsa visit to Birmingham just now full of interest and pleasure.
 
 President c. A. Dahner Of the Mobile Coal Company at Mobile, Ala. has fur nished the Manufacturers' Record de- scription of the facilities which the com pany will have for shipping by water. The plan contemplates three methods of coal handling: First, separate track running on the north end of the property to the river front for conveying coal to the pock- cts that will be erected for tugboats. Un- der it will be put endless chain conveyors and elevators to carry the coal up into the pockets, and there will be chutes on the river side with pockets for chuting the coal to the vessels. The main track will run along the entire front of the property, and will be elevated about 20 feet above the water at ordinary tide. At different places along this track will be chutes for coallng barges and other vessels that may not be too high. At one end of this track will be erected large pocket or coal bin of sufi- cient height to chute coal into the largest vessels that come into the gulf. It is cal culated that through these chutes and through the large pocket alluded to it will be possible to handle 4000 tons daily. The cost of the Improvement will be S25, ,00o-

 The commander appointed Ex-Com- manders R. E. Jones, F. s. Ferguson and Joseph F. Johnston on that committee, efter adoption of the motion.
 In view of the fact that many members of the camp were also members of the Com mercial club, motion was offered that the time of meeting of the camp be changed from Friday to Tuesday so as not to con- fict with the meetings of the Commercial club, thus allowing all members of Camp Hardee to attend both meetings. The mo- tion, according to the constitution and by- laws goes over for thirty days, The Mercer badge was voted to Texas fair representative by large majority vote. The following motion was offered by Gen. k. D. Johnston and adopted: Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed to memorialze the general as- sembly of the state of Alabama, and request it to commemorate the memory of Robert E. Lee by making his birthday legal holi- | day, and the committee be instructed to bring the matter before them. The following were appointed on that committee: Gen. R. D. Johnston and Comrades R. w.

THE POCKET NERVE.

MT. George P. White of Marion has something to say in this issue concerning the board of assessment. He has been in- formed that decennial commission has been tried with success in Virginia. Ohio also tried decennial commission for the assessment of real estate, but changed the law so that the commission now meets every fifth year. Mir. White favors the ap- pointment of State board, but has doubts as to it's efficacy. Of course, this method will be experimental so far as Alabama is concerned, but other and older s a.es have tried the plan with eminent success. To say that it would prove "another railroad commission' is begging the question. The State Railroad Commission is circum
 scribed in it's powers by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The State Con- mission cannot regulate rates on railroads running through the State because that is a matter entirely under the control of the Interstate Commerce Commits sion. But the State Commission can direct the railroads as to the erection
 of depots, cause the repair of bridges, abate nuisances, protect stock, provide separate care for whites and blacks, etc., and in these respects the State Com- mission has been of great service to the people. Mir. White thinks the State board for the assessment and equalization of tax values would be powerIess except in con- nection and in cooperation with county boards. In this point he agrees with Ex- Governor Jones and Governor Oates, who both recommend the appointment of county boards. Mir. White thinks the county board should be composed of one member qf m ba fu io ;a a good idea, for the precinct member would have a personal knowledge of the prsperty in his precinct and could arrive at

THE RACES STOPPED.
The True Reason Why the Races Have
 Been Discontinued.

Everybody is asking, "Why have the races been discontinued? Is Birmingham getting too good for races?" One person will give one reason, and another another reason. The true reason is because the races were not continued long enough un . til the people got taste for them. It was just that way with Paul's table d bote. At first he lost money serving such a splendid meal for such an insignificant gum, but he kept on pushing it, and now there is great rush for the table d. hote. The people have learned to love it..
