THINGS MILITARY.

The military boys have begun to discuss the annual encampment, which will prob ably be ordered by Governor Oates either in May or June. It is thought the gov ernor favors the former month, as 1t IS then not so hot as in June, and the hard drilling can be borne with less personal discomfort.
 It is believed Governor Oates will order brigade encampment at Mobile. In fact, it is almost a settled fact that he will, and the Birmingham soldier boys are looking forward to a pleasant stay in the city by the gulf. They remember with pleasure the brigade encampment of 1891, and eagerly await the next one.
 The commissioned officers of the Bir- mngham battalion will hold their monthly meeting in the armory of the Birmingham Rifles tomorrow night.
 Capt. c. s. Ammel, representing M. c. Little & Co.,, military outftters of Column bus, O., is in the city mingling with the soldier boys.
 Lieutenant Senn of the Huey Guards has received letter from Capt. w. A. Orr of the Calhoun Rifles, Oxford, in winch that gentleman expresses his willingness to ac- cept the office of major of the Second regi. nent, created by the recent legislature, II elected to the same. Captain Orr Is one oi state troops, and ranks among the best commanders. His friends will use all hon. orable means to secure his election.
 The minstrel performances given by the
 Huey Guards Friday night netted that
 company handsome sum of money, which will be used for necessary equipments.
 The Bessemer Rifles attended the Huey Guards minstrel performance in body. Lieutenant Forbes of the Montgomery Mounted Rifles was in the city yesterday
 and called on his friends among the soldier boys.
 The pleasing opera "Martha,'' will be produced at O'Brien's shortly after Easter by local talent for the benefit of the Bir- miugham Rifles. The performance will be under the management of Professor Will liams and as some of the best talent in the city will take part no doubt great success will be scored.
 Another benefit for the military will also be given at the opera house as soon as the Lenten season is over. The "Chimes of Normandy will be presented under the supervision of Miss Momi Terrell, an ac- complished Birmingham girl, who has on former occasions proven her capabillty in that line. The play will be for the benefit of the Birmingham battalion, each of the five companies sharing equally the pro- ceeds.
 The Rifles are considering the question of attending the interstate drills at Memphis in May. If Governor Oates does not order | the companies into camps in that month | they will very likely go to Memphis and | enter the contest for some of the prizes.

"A PAIR OF KIDS.u

The well-known musical comedy, "A Pair of Kids,D which is to be the attrac- tion at O'Brien's opera house on Friday night. is now in it's tenth season of success, and is too we'll known to require any spe. cial introduction. It is conglomeration of everything funny, ludicrous and ex- tremeIy ridiculous. From the rise of the curtain the audience is kept in continual roar at the humorous antics of the old countryman character, Jies Button, whom Mir. Kendall has made familiar to theater- poers from one end of the country to the other. The thread of the story on which the Imaginable incidents and ridiculous happenings are strung treats of the adven- lures of an old York state farmer, who comes to town with his wife and pair of kids in search of the heir to legacy. How the old countryman stumbled into restau- raut, and in the course of events finds him. self running it in accordance with bis pecu- liar ideas is all very laughably set forth In the first act. MT. Kendall's comedy is of the sort of which an audience never tires, from the time his exceedingly funny make- up shows itself until the curtain closes the last act. "A Pair of Kids' would seem to be one of those plays which does not grow old, and people laugh as heartily at US ludicrous situations now as when 1t first came out ten years ago. MT. kendalPs burlesque baseball act always brings down the house. In the cast is the well-knoWn popular comedian, Perkins D. Fisher Of s'CoId Day' fame, Miss Jean Delmar, Miss Jennie Dunn, the original Little Jose phine of the once famous "Juvenile Pima fores,'' Miss Jessie Bertman, Miss Agnes Carlton, Mir. Leo Hardman, and other comedy specialists.

A FOUR ROOM HOUSE BURNED-ACCIDENT
 TO THE soUTHsIDE REEL.
 About 9:30 o clock last night telephone alarm of fire was sent in from First avenue and Twenty second street, and about a minute later the place was corrected and made First avenue and Thirtieth street. Both North and Southside departments turned out, but nothing went to the scene except the Southside steamer and the Nortnside hose wagon.
 The fire was in four room negro shanty at Dobbins' switch, occupied by two negro women, and is supposed to have been of incendiary origin. Neither occupant of the house was at home when the lire broke out, but two men had been seen there about five minutes before the fire was discovered. A bucket brigade was organized and the other buildings saved, although the one on fire burned to the ground. The damage will reach about S200.
 AN ACCIDENT.
 < Just as the Southside reel was crossing 6 the Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks at Twenty eighth street and First avenue the rear axle broke, and the reel came near turning over. Luckily no one was hurt, for the reel was not moving fast owing to the fact that the railroad track was being crossed. The hose was taken off the reel and then it was pulled to the station.

FOREIGN IMPORTS ARE RAPIDLY RISING"
trrer cannot buy yarn or stock necessary
TO make similar goods and place it in
his loom at the same price, % cents per
yard, at which the Bradford serge is sold,
the stock alone costing here 80 cents. Yet
the Bradford manufacturer can buy his
yarn, weave it. sell it at % cents per
yard and figure out profit. The same
is the case with fancy worsteds, selling
at 81 cents by the Bradford maker.
AS we have free wool and the Eng
lish manufacturers have free wool, the
mills in both countries can start upon
nearly the same footing as far as their
raw material is concerned. What, then,
is the difference! 1t is in the labor of
spinning and manufacturing, which III
weaving is l12 per cent higher in the
United States than in Bradford.
This simply confirms the argument of
protectionists that the bulk of the cost,
in this case fully 90 per cent, of man

in making it, Free wool affords no pro-

Our Franklin correspondent states
that one importing house has sold for a

of 10, 600 pieces of fine worsted cloth

"in less than Is months there will be
more machinery stopped than III 1893,

The great manufacturing districts Of
Yorkshire, but more especially Brad
ford, are full steam ahead. Work is
plentiful, competition is keen, wages
low. That may seem to be a paradox
TO some readers, but it nevertheless is
SO and must continue. On every hand,
our merchant princes and the press
claim, us one of our leading daily
papers said last week, that our manu-
facturers have taken your market by
storm. Whether that be SO or not | will
leave your readers TO settle, but 1t does
appear TO me that when l consider the
amount Of exports that are leaving these
shores destined TO your market the
English operators must be receiving "a
fair share of patronage, which patronage
your own operators and employed have a
just right TO demand. The few returns
which l have hurriedly gathered and
put together, showing what we sent
across TO your side in June only, are in

POLICY OF TRUE DEMOCRACY.
Duties Farm Products Were Laid For
Protection, Not Revenue.

Protection, Not Revenue.
In 1928 the house committee on man
ufactures advanced the reason for plac
ing a duty on spirits made from grain
and on molasses 1t was claimed that
large quantities of foreign molasses
were imported and used to make mo-
lasses rum, and that this was a Compel
itor of our homemade whisky made
from domestic grown grain. But an
other ground on which the duties on
spirits and on molasses were levied was
that our grain growing farmers in the
interior were then without transporta-
tion facilities and suffered for market
for their grain. and that foreign spirits
and molasses rum lessened this market
at the domestic distilleries. The report
of the committee said:
1T is the interest, and solely the in
terest, of the farmer who grows the
grain from which spirits are distilled
which renders it subject at all worthy
the consideration of congress, as con-
nected with the protection Of the indus
try and substantial interests of the conn
try.
Silas Wright Of New York, than
whom there was no Democrat more
able, who was a member of the com
mittee making this report, and Mr..
Benton also. spoke for the increase of
the duty on foreign spirits and mo-
lasses. and it carried.
There is no escape from the conclu
sion that duties on agricultural products
were then levied for protection and not
for revenue only. That was the policy

The DUTY on Wheat.

In the debate on the tariff act Of
1924, Mr.. Taylor explained why the
duty was placed on wheat in 1915 at 10
per cent. equal, he said, at that time to
22la cents "a bushel. Since then it had
been found that that rate did not pre-
vent importation Of wheat from the
Black sea, but chiefly from Upper Can
ada. The principle, he said, on which
the then proposed increase of duty OF
~ cents per bushel was to be laid was
TO secure 70 the American agriculturist
the whole Of the American or home
market. Mr.. Tracy stated that foreign
wheat was coming into Rochester,
NY, and selling for 20 and rs cents.
