grasses into pork, beef, mules, sheep, etc., will allow Alabama to invite the buyers for the Armour packing house to come here to operate with better results to the packer than he can get from Kansas, Col orado or Dakota.
 Briefly argued. perfected agriculture in Alabama is invited by matchless climate, originally fertile lands naturally drained and watered to a phenomenal degree, most salubrious climate offering twelve full months labor in the year and the greatest imaginable variety of crops. The conditions of perfected agriculture in Ala bama are inseparable from the manufac- ture of the cotton here produced, the pro- duction here of the staple crops of diet, the rearing here of the meats for diet, the ani- mals of draught.
 There has never been. such burlesque upon agriculture as we of the South have perpetrated for quarter of a century. In the slave era we were prosperous. WhyT Because the crops made were largely con- sumed in feeding and clothing prolific race of slaves. The crops raised were security for the rearing of young negroes, and the sales of the surplus products went to buy more of the parent stock in the Maryland and Virginia markets. Mobile had an export commerce of SAC, GOO, ,0O0 in 1859, while Philadelphia, the same year, exported only S5.0oO, ,oo0. Pennsylvania distributed within her own bounds her wealth of production, while Alabama sent the bulk of her's to Liverpool, remaining still in highly progressive state because of the high percentage of natural increase of slaves.
 It cannot be too persistently urged that cotton agriculture has come in the nature of things to depend for success upon cot ton manufacturing by the producers of this staple in cooperative effort. Thus undertaken cotton agriculture in Alabama is the most inviting industrial pursuit in America. We have in this State of 55, COO square miles about 1500 miles of river water, nearly all navigable, or easily made navigable. Of course these rivers are fed by innumerable perisnnial streams. We have limitless supply of phenomenally cheap and good coal, timber and building stone without calculable limit. The houndless variety of farm products within the compass of reasonable energy command all these natural advantages. and thus enable us to exalt agriculture as the sure foundation of the happiest social life the mind of man may contemplate.

NEW YORK SAVINCS BANK

The reports of the savings banks of New York city for the last year show gratify- ing improvement in their condition and business compared with 1893.
 The number of open accounts on January l was BPS, 1855, gain of 21 ,000, and the amount deposited during the year increased from ss6. .51 .227 to S93, ,8i5, ,011.
 Still better was the decrease in the amount withdrawn-showing larger aggre- gate earnings during 1S94-from $104, 113,. GOO in 1893 to s69 COG, ,0OO last year. The amount of interest credited and paid to depositors for the year was SIP ,440, 900, an increase of nearly $500, ,000.
 The total resources of the savings banks twenty five in number-are S402 ,192, ,a27, gain for the year of SIS, GOO, ,O0O. The amount due depostors is 1851, ,4l4 ,000, an increase of SIG, 1000, 900. The surplus of the banks is over S69, 1000, 900.
 This record shows commencable thrift among the people and good management of the institutions for savings.
 The people of Birmingham should de- posit their savings in the Peoples Savings Bank and Trust company. This institu- tion pays per cent interest on deposits, which it credits every six months.

AGRICULTURE IN ALABAMA.

Senator Morgan upon his return from Europe said in speech in Opelika that the lands he had seen that day from Atlanta to Opelika exceeded in natural fertility the cultivable lands of Germany. The Sena- tor might have added that the lands he had seen that day from the car window were not up to the average natural fertility of Georgia and Ala abama lands.
 The pivotal question with Alabama agri- culture now is to confine to the State, to the county and to the precinct the enlarged or full benefit of the products of the soil. The German farmer will produce 600 or more bushels of carrots to an acre and the German acre will thus be made to support more animal life-horses, hogs, cows than the Alabama acre in corn; and this result of German agriculture is less costly In labor, use of team and tools, is less ex- haustive of the soil than corn culture here on better soil. At Charleston, s. O., a gentleman lives who conducts market truck farm near by. He keeps hogs in elevated stalls, each hog with his snout over an open trough filled with surplus garden products, while at the rear there Is another trough which receives the land enricher man ufaclured, so to speak, from the origi- nal garden product by the consumer-the hog. This simple narrative illustrates the conception of practical mind touching the sine qua non of agriculture. When we apply the test of self-support to 1t the en- terprise becomes unapproachable in it's promises. The hogs of the Charleston truck farmer are practical manufacturers and his farming profit turns upon them, not to sell as pork in the market, although he does market the first lot when time iustifies, to be replaced by fresh and hungry lot, thus gaining at every point of contact with the land.
 4. There is no time to lose in saving to Ala bama the full profit of our agriculture. There is no way, whatever, to reach this re- suit except by retaining here what the soil produces until the products have been con- yerted for consumption or for market abroad without further manual or mechan- ical labor put upon them. Good manage ment, skill in the conversion of grain and

"LESs OF POLITICS-MORE OF BUSI-
 NESS'

The Manufacturers Record in it's issue of Friday last has strong editorial under the above heading, taken from the address of the Commercial Cub to the press of Alabama. The Record copies the largest portion of the address and commends it to the people of the entire South. It says: ''If the press and the people of the South will unite on this line-'less of politics and more of business determined that in extending to capital and settlers an invi- tation to their country a proper reception and protection and wise laws shall be guaranteed them, the South will draw many thousands of settlers and many mill ions of dollars This is one of the high est of the many high compliments which the club has received from the outside press, and clearly shows that It is working on right lines and broad principles, not only for the upbuilding of Birmingham, but for the entire State as well. That ad- dress has been sent to every newspaper in Alabama, and from this comment of the Record the Alabama press can see how the matter is viewed by one of the leading journals engaged in the work of the South's industrial development. The press of Alabama have done noble work for the State, and, as the Record well puts it, Gin taking up this move and asking the CO., operation of the local press the business men of the Sonth must remember that a duty devolves upon them also in giving to the Southern press their most liberal sup port and encouragement. This is timely anu we'll Iut, and our Commercial Club has another duty to perform now in behalf of the press of the State. It has made re- quest on the press to start a- campaign for "less politics and more business, o which the press will not be slow to accede to. Now let it start another campaign of "nore business and less requests" on the press for popular purposes, and there will be united vote of thanks rendered it.
 But in all candor we see the object of the club and most cheerfully commend it. The address was intended to produce sen- timent that would bring better times to the State, and hence all would share in the general benefts-the press no less than other branches of business. The press is a good barometer of business, and in helping to bring better business conditions they are insuring the most certain benefits to themselves. Let us take up this campaign therefore in earnest, since it has as much of promise for the press as for any other branch of business.

SHAME, oHMY COUNTRY sHAMEt

Written for the Age Herald. Washington, Lee, Douglass, these three, but the greatest of these Douglass. (Vide, North Carolina's Legislature.) Shame, oh my country! bow thy head, Behold what has been done The blackest crime that ever stained land beneath the sun. Yea, see with loathing and disgust Then turn away thine eyes From act so foul e en friends of hell With ioathing would despise. Pull down the flag your fathers reared And tear it into shreds; Let craven Anglo Saxons now Deign not to raise their heads. Call down the eagle from on high, With dunghills let him tread, Since blackamoores and dastard knayes Have shamed your honored dead. Let day god from his place on high Recede and hide his face, That darkness may come down and shield Our land from such disgrace. Pluck every star from heavens dome, Let midnight darkness reign, Or, Pbenix like. let justice rise And wipe away the shame. Where are the men of Meckenburg, Whose patriotic sires Were first on North Carolina's heights To kindie freedom s fires? How have they fallen now so low, What has their pride undone. That they permit insult so base To Lee and Washington. And where, oh, tell me where, the sons Of that brave Spartan band Who fought through hells of battle flame, To shield their native land? Where are Virgina's sons, oh, wheref hear the heavens cry, That they permit so foul a shame, And strike not though they die. And you, ye abolition horde. See of your work the trend Black ingrates casting scorn upon The names you should defend. You now behold the writing plaln, Of hand upon tr e wall;' Dishonored, bend and take the cup, Yea, drink the bitter gall. Your true Caucasian blood deny, Your birtl fight now disown; Bow down to serpents and to toads, Too base to worship stone. Become slimy. crawlin s worms, And grovel in the sod Too vile and loathsome for a name, Ye damned of man and God.

 This morning happened to visit the diff ferent departments of South Highlands academy for the purpose of listening to the biographies of George Washington writ ten by the students.
 The variety of matter and language was worthy of even the immortal Washington Irving, who wrote Washington's most ex- cellent life.
 The young ladies in the girls annex did exceptionally well, and the gentle How Of girllike language made one feel as If the innocent juvenile days of Westinghouse E life were merging their whole atmosphere of innocence into the school room.
 The boys in the intermediate department had very lengthy papers and very worthy ones, while the young gentlemen of the principals room showed marked degree of efficiency and fuency.
 When one steps into school room or boys and girls be feels like humiliating himself, so great is his deference for the embryo presidents, diplomats, lawyers, physicians and literary lights, not forget ting the girls who shall surely share the greatness of the boys

THE running of a State government is just as much a matter of business as run. ming big dry goods store. In every State campaign each party claims that 1t can run the State government more economically than the opposition. One of the principal arguments of the Democratic party in Ala bama since reconstruction is that it has largely reduced the cost of running the State government. In this view of the matter it is interesting to compare Ala bama with other States. The cost of the State government per head Is in New York S1.87, in California s6.5S and in Alabama 50 cents.

As already stated in these dispatches, Secretary Herbert is much pleased with the results and is taking active measures to supply the coaling stations on the Isthmus and the Caribbean sea with these coals, which can be furnished to naval vessels at about one half the prices heretofore charged for an article which in many cases has been found to be inferior to coals tested by the Montgomery. w. l.. o.
