Iron in St0raqe.

The American Manufacturer and Iron World, published in Pittsburg, professes to be greatly distressed over what it is pleased to call Alabama's retrogressive leg islation-the Badham back tax act. It does not so much object to an equitable revision of assessment lists, but it does denounce the attempt to tax iron in stor- age. ''The laws in Alabama" it adds, "exempt cotton in storage, and the laws of Pennsylvania and Ohio exempt iron. The exemption of cotton in storage from taxation, and trying to collect five years back taxes on iron in the like condition is the widest kind of hayseed legislation"
 It must be confessed that the Manufac- turer is right when it says the line should not be drawn against iron and withdrawn altogether in the case of cotton. If one in storage is exempted from taxation, the other should be also
 The Manufacturer offers this bit of ad- vice to Alabama in its closing paragraph: vantage to follow the example of Penn sylvania, Maryland, and other states which encourage manufacturing enterprises by giving them total exemption from taxation The increase in desirable population and the home market thus created for sother products, together with the natural en- hancement of real estate values, would soon make up any shortage in the tax rolls by such exemption. Next to the advan- tage of cheap fuel possessed by Pennsyl- mania Gan advantage also enjoyed by Ala bama), the liberal attitude displayed by her law makers towards manufacturers has done most in placing her in the front rank of manufacturing states. And the encouragement of manufactures has made her farming communities the most pros porous in the land.'

The Indian Head Mills.

In just nine months some wealthy Bos- ton people have placed in Walker county a duplicate of their well known mills in Nashua, N. H.. where the trade mark. an Indians head, has long been placed on 6 grade Of goods that have become very popular in China and other countries of the Orient. Outside of a donation of 600 acres of rich coal lands. no contribution was asked from the county in which ths mill Is located.
 The recent opening of the mill was the occasion of much rejoicing in Walker coun- ty, and the Jasper Mountain Eagle gives much of it's space over to an account of the event. Around the great mill are clus- tered 300 neat two-story cottages. which will be occupied by the 1000 operatives needed to carry on the mill. Thus a city has literally been built and established in Walker county in nine months. Why should not the people of Walker county then rejoice? Gen. Long, who did so much towards bringing the mill to Walker county. threw the first cotton into the picker, and the mill was started.
 A portion of the employees will be brought from New Hampshire, but at least two-thirds of the help needed will con- sist either of men from Alabama cotton mills, or of new recruits gathered from the mountains of Walker county. These people will make sheetings that will be exclusively marketed in the far east. The coal mines and few such factories as the one located at Cordova, together with the prospect of slack water navigation in the Warrior river, will soon develop In Walker county degree of prosperity that 1t has never known. Gen. Long sure ly expressed the wishes of every citizen, when he said at the close of his speech on the opening day, Long live the Indian Head mills of Alabama"

Yellow Pine Lumber.

A considerable and desirable change is going on in the southern lumber trade. Not only are the mills busy, and prices ad- vanciag. but the point of progress has been reached when there is a demand for the common grades of lumber In the sull years from which the mills are now merging only the best lumber could be .sarketed at a profit. The poor sticks were oft in the woods and the inferior boards xese burned at the mills. But now there ,. home demand. and even shipping demand for the common grades. The ad- S.ace in prices has helped these grades to rutrket.
 This change will not only benefit great industry. but it will put an end to the dreadful waste that has heretofore pre- vailed in the lumber industry in this sec ton It is not exaggeration to say that double the supply of merchantable tim her in the south. The mills now find it an easy task to sell their lower grades. and none of them entered upon the pres ent year with heavy stock of such lum- ber
 The lumber interests of the south are very heavy. and will be increasingly se through many years to come; and these . every reason for thinking that pgscss will be steadily advanced The supply of white pine in the country ia fast becoming iimited and the Canadian supply Is sub- feet to heavy transportation charges, as well as duty of g a thousand feet. The New Orleans Times-Democrat believes first and second yellow pine will soon sell at s25 to sS0 a thousand, and star or selects at SIS to s22 thousand. If indeed the eastern demand should assume proportions equal to the recent western demand, there would be no doubt whatever as to a rise in prices. Yellow pine must after while take the place so long held by white pine in the shops that make sash, doors, mould ings, and general house trim. For floor ing and ceiling 1t is already preferred. tire country becomes normal-in other words, just as soon as a degree of pros- perity is reached that admits of new constructions in every part of the land, then will there be q sharp demand for yellow pine. and prices will be advanced --not by jumps and bounds but steadily,

The Georgia Grocery Trust.

From the Chattanooga Times.
 We are told, in a special from Atlanta to Rome, Ga, newspaper, that the Geor- gia division of the Southern Wholesale Grocers association, at a stated meeting, barred Rome out of the wholesale business. The association so the story runs, voted that Rome has no natural, artif1cial or prescriptive right to be distributing point; that Rome Is of the retail size ana no more that her groceries must pc classed as retail establishments; that the freight rates granted the Roman grocers ought to be retail rates, that is, high rates.
 Rome has four grocery houses that do exclusively wholesale business. They have been wholesallng for years; but It seems that other grocers, in other towns who are members of the Georgia divis'on of the Southern Wholesale Grocers' aso- citation, coveted the trade of the territory the Rome merchants sell to. and to get 1t they propose to set up the freghts on the Roman grocers and by thus increasing the cost of their goods make 1t difficult or impossible for them to compete, even in their home trade.
 The question arises: By what right does the association named presume to hx the freight rates on groceries, delivered at Rome? By what right does the associa- ton. designate who shall have the privilege of selling groceries at whole sale!
 If the story is true, it certainly describes an impudent and at the same time an amusing form of trust, certainly as anus ing a thing of the kind as we ever heard of and as impudent as it is funny. The sender of the dispatch asserts that the movement is an effort of the wholesale men in some of the large cities of Georgia to '.freeze out" those located in the smaller towns, thus acquiring for the big towns monopoly of the trade. r But it will not work. The small town grocerymen cannot be crushed in any such manner The association, promising all ways that the truth has been told about it. as here set forth, is. individually and collectively, liable to indictment for crim- inal conspiracy, and the Roman grocers can be relied on to see the law Is put in motion, to that end. An attempt of the kind does not violate the federal law against commercial conspiracies, for that deals with interstate trade, exclusively, while this association presumes to regu- late, in it's own pretty little way, the trade of a single state, but the laws of Georgia fully cover such cases. It would be con- spiracy at common law. All the statutes of all the states reach such cases.
 In passing we remark on this as about the most odious shape trust could well give itself

Lei Education Be Democratic.

The facilities for higher education in Aial anna will compare very favorable with ihose of her sister states in the south, Lut her common schools, for the common people. have been sadly and broutally neg lected. In the establishment of colleges, tnlal schools, Alabama ranks above her sisters, but she is far behind them in the educational advantages offered to the masses. The trend of education in Ala bama has been aristocratic rather than democratic. She has established schools for the classes rather than for the masses. The normal schools are valua- hle, but their maintenance at present is at the expense, rather than in aid, of the common schools The conception of eis- trict agricultural schools correlated with ard subsidiary to the agricultural and me- chanical colleges of the state, is excellent; but these schools at present are little more than local high schools maintained by the state for the benefit of the communities in which they are located.
 The Age-Herald does not desire to criti- else the policy of the state in the establish ment and main. enance of these schools; tt at which is good should be retained and cul- tivated. But it would seem that the cause of special and local education in Alabama has been emphasized out of all proportion to that of common and eiemen- tary education. Let the schools of the people be developed Let education be democratic rather than aristocratic.

 IT IS WELL TO CRY.

Crying is so commonly associated with distress that mans natural instinct is to | put stop to it as soon as possible. We | should not forget however, that it has its
 uses. Dr. Harry Campbell has recently l shown how complex are the phenomena in- | volved in "a good cry"
 This does not consist merely in the she'd l ding of tears, but includes so general and widespread an action of the muscles that | the whole body may be convulsed. In | children also a great change takes place during crying in the manner in which the respiration is carried on. Aspirations are prolonged sometimes for as much as half a minute and are interrupted by short inspirations. During expiration the giot- tis is contracted so that the intrapulmon- ary pressure rises considerably and there can be but little doubt that 1t is the equal
 distribution of this increased air pres
 sure throughout the whole of the chest, leading to the dilation of portions of the lung that have become more or less col lapsed that is the explanation of the great l benefit which often results from crying in
 cases of infantile bronchitis. Children may !, become very blue during the paroxysm. but | the deep respirations which succeed quickly l restore the circulation to a better condi- | ton than before in consequence of the larger lung space rendered available
 In women the beneficial effect of good cry is proverbial In them also this is partly due to the increased depth of res | piration and the Improvement in the often l languid circulation thereby induced. hut l to large extent it is the result of the muscular exercise involved by which the ! general vascular tension and especialv the 1 blood pressure in the brain much re-
 duced The profuse flow of tears m doubt ! also acts strongly on the cerebral circnls- | tion in still further reducing tension. The | exhaustion produced by good cry tends | to produce sleep and thus to give the nerv- | ous system its best chance Of recuperation.

HOW TO DRINK WATER.

There are few people who thoroughly realize the value of water as beverage, or who know how to obtain the greatest advantage from it. $
 The effects produced by drinking water vary with tfpe, manner in which 1t is drunk. If, for instance, a pint of cold water asbe swallowed as a large draught or if itebe taken in two portions with a short interval between. certain definite results follow effects which differ from those which would have resulted from the same quan- tity taken by slipping. Slipping is pow
 erflIl stlmulant to the circulation, a thing which ordinary drinking is not During the act of slipping the action of the nerve which shows the beats of the heart is abol- ished, and as consequence that organ contracts much more rapidly the pulse beats more quickly, and the circulation in various pants of the body is increased. And here is a point which might well be noted: A glass of cold water, slowly slipped, wdl produce greater acceleratdon of the pulse for time than will glass of wine or spirits taken at @ draught In this connection it may not be out of place to mention that spping cold water will often allay the craving for alcohol in those who have been In the habit of taking too much Of 1t, and who may be endeavoring to reform, the effect being probably due to the stimulant action of the slipping.
