Capt. R. F. Kolb, former commissioner

Capt. R. F. Kolb, former commissioner of agriculture, expresses several im- portant suggestions in regard to immi- grafton. He thinks that it is not just that the commissioner of agriculture should pay out of his fund all the expense of securing immigrants, because this fund is derived from the tax on fertili- gers and is paid altogether by the far mers. The farmer would thus bear all the expense, while others reap some of the benefits. The appropriation by the commissioner should be supplemented by a like appropriation from the state treas ury This plan would make the expense bear on all alike. To say that the state treasury Is not able to bear this expense is no argument, for it should be looked on as remedy for the deficiency in the states revenues. The more immigrants we get the larger will be the revenues from taxation
 Captain Kolb thinks that the proper time to visit the northwest for the pur- pose of securing immigrants is in the winter, but at that time the commissioner is busy and cant spare the time. The state should have bureau of immigra- tion, with competent man in charge, who should work in connection with the commissioner By the way, Captain Kolb would be a splendid selection for this office,
 Captain Kolb has kept up with the re- suits of his trip through the northwest in Alabama on Wheels" and knows of $3, GOO, 900 that have been invested in this state as the result of that trip. This cor responds with what MT. Campbell said before the Alabama Commercial asso- citation.
 MT. F. Erswell hasa walking cane that he obtained in the navy yard at Pensa- cola, and was told that it was a part of one of the spars of the Alabama that went down off Cherbourg. MT. George deWhting thinks that very little of the Alabama was left afloat. She carried down with her everything on board but the men who were left alive. The bot tom of the ocean where she sank is filled with drifting sand, and this has no doubt covered her long ago. Even the spars were caught in the tackle and carried under. MT. deWhiting says, however that one of the spars of the Alabama was fight with the kearsage, and it did not get back in time for the battle. While in New York recently Mr. deWhiting at- tended a variety show. and flag was exhibited on the stage which the mana ger said was "a flag from the rebel pirate Alabama" but MT. deWhting thinks her flag went down and the victorious Rear sarge secured no relic to exhibit as a trophy of her hard won victory. The K aarsarge did, however, secure one relic - shell fired by the Alabama in her stern. Had the shell exploded the Rear sarge would have been torn to pieces This shell Is now in the navy yard at Washington, and will no doubt be ex- hibited when the new battleship Ala bama is christened.

The State Herald publishes this morn ing an extract from a private communi- cation from Mir. John w. Tomlinson, member of the national advisory commit tee from Alabama. Mr. Tomlinson has been selected by the national committee to accompany Mir. Bryan and the extracG from his letter contains much valuable information as well as encouragement to the democratic party.
 MT. Tomlinson has on several occasions relieved Mr. Bryan by speakin himself to the vast concourse of people who greet the democratic candidate wherever he goes, and the newspapers have been law ish in their compliments of the young Alabamian, who has sprung into notorie- ty and public confidence almost sim utaneously with the candidate himself.
