40 WAR wIru SPAIN

THERE Will he no war with Spain, the
declaration OF all the sensational daily
papers to the contrary Notwithstanding.
II is not yet certain that the United
States will want To Eight and even IL
she does, Spain will not fight, II 1t is
discovered that the Main desastcr was
the result of AN accident, the matter
will be settled. IL on the other hand,
evidence OF treachery is clearly cs.ab-
lished and 1t is proven that some Span
iards are responsible for the great
crime, even then there will be no war.
Under this condition the spanish gov
ernmcnt will disavow the act and lay
the blame on some Irresponsible indi.
viduals. The United States will make
an emphatic demand for just and lib
eral reparation in the sum of several
million dollars aid Spain will be quick
to NEE, the demand This is reason
able. 1t is right and is what will be
done. The time of wars is past. There
will be no war with Spain.

NEW CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
A Committee At Work On Plans to
be Considered By A Mass
Meeting Next Safur-
day Night.

A Chamber of Commerce for Canon
City is not only one Of the greatest
needs of the city but In also one Of the
early possibilities. The meeting called
for Tuesday night in the court house
was very well attended, but the railroad
meeting sad other important snsstsrs
keeping many of the most active bust
ness men away it was thought best TO
take no decisive action. A committee
was appointed to draft plans for a re-
organization TO be presented to meet
ing on next Saturday night. The com
mittee consists Of Chairman r. NJ.
Harding. Capt B +. Rockafeliow. Jas.
II. Peabody, Henry Earle. n. r. Handy
and Guy U. Hardy. The committee
will consider what is being done along
this line In other towns over the state
and will have something in definite
form to offer the meeting on Saturday
night
1t matters not 50 very much just
what name or plan for organization Is
adopted The important part 10 to get
an organization under way and In shape
TO do some good for Canon. No one
doubts the proposition that a strong.
active Chamber Of Commerce can he Of
great benefit to city. Everybody
knows that II ever In the history OF
Canon the time was ripe for such an
II is now All will agree
that the business men of Canon are ~
NJ active, n substantial. ~
and as capable Of making
a Chamber OF Commerce . success ~
those Of any other city In the wcst.
These things being true there 10 Ger
,ainly but one right course before US,
aud that is to begin now.
ItIs the duty of every business man
in Cznon to attend the meeting Satur-
day night and help the organization In
every way possible. This chief object
Of a well conducted Chamber Of Com
merce is not TO boom land nor foster |
the private enterprises Of any Of is
members. With all growing towns 1t
IS a fact that the new business houses |
more than keep pace with the increas-
ing population. What we want and
must do Is TO increase the population |
10 support the business houses What
our town needs and what the new
Chamber of Commerce should aim at
is to bring some manufacturing enter |
prises TO Canon. Its the dinncr-paii
brigade that makes q city. Give us
pay rolls and all business houses will
prosper and lands find ready sale. If
MI take hold much can be accomplished
At little cost. No business man can
afford to lose this opportunity TO help |
himself. Attend the meeting saturday |
house, at eight o'clock.

Gen. Louis '. Clark.

The ranking officer of the Alabama na- tional guard-its commander under the governor of the state-is General Louis V. Clark. His name will be presented to the president as that of a suitable man to com mand a brigade. As a leader of Alabama troops, he would be eminently accep able. His well known capacity for high conn mahd, and his military education and as- pirations, all make him the man for the occasion and for immediate service.
 If the war is to be short and decisive, as all hope and expect it will be. the state can- not afford to appoint civilian who has had no military experience. Nor indeed should a of impaired physical vigor or advanced years be sent to the trying climate of Cuba. General Clark is in the prime of life, man of remarkable vigor, well-equipped for every demand that mili- tary command and responsibility may throw upon him.
 The Age-Herald trusts that the efforts of Alabama men will be needed at Wash ington, and that General Clark will be com missioned to lead Alabama troops, or any other troops for that matter, against the foe. He would bring honor to the state that gave him birth, and to the nation that sent him forth to battle.

Southern Mill Activity.

The recent report of the commissioner of the bureau of labor statistics in Nor.n Carolina shows that over sixty per cent. of the two hundred and odd cotton mills of the state are running day and night while the others are running full time, and are unable to keep up with their orders. Sev- eral mills are sending their entire output to China
 New mill corporations are formed every week in both of the CaroInas, but more especially in North Carolina. In the lat ter state it is estimated that fully 25O mills will be in operation at the end of the pres ent year. This will be an increase of about twenty per cent.
 This is better than Alabama is doing, and yet this state is the only one in the cot ton belt that has cheap steam coal The actual cost of coal to the Cordova mill is the cost of mining, or about fifty cents a ton. The mine opening is at the doors of the mills furnaces. One hundred mills could be as favorably located as the h. dian Head mill at Cordova. That mill would not accept a water power as a gift. Its coal mine near the surface furnishes all the power it needs. Neither the coal nor the land cost the mill a penny, and there are many localities in the Alabama coal districts where mills can be located under equally advantageous circumstances. Instead of one mill at Cordova, the wonder is there are not a hundred in the coal counties of the state. When coal and transportation facilities and plenty of the staple are offered in one bunch, what more can a manufacturer desire?

Thlrtr-Flre Mlll,on T.rrets

The growth of target shooting during the last few years may be figured from the fact that last year the various target com- panies of the United States manufactured and put upon the markets somewhere in the neighborhood of thirty million targets
 Ten years ago 100000 would have been near the correct figure. This year the out put Is estimated at about 350O0,OO0, and It is more than possible that these figures are below rather than above the actual num- Der. This shows what an amount or pow der and shot is consumed in the sport or trap shooting when targets alone are trap ped. The expense attendant upon a day sport at the traps is the chief cause for it's not growing into favor more rapidly
 A $5 bill does not last long when targets cost.2 cents each and when shells cost from cents up to 31z cents each. On account or this expense many clubs have reduced the expense of their targets to cent each, at which figure it can trap them with chance of coming out more than even, the pick ups"-that is, targets shot at but not hit often giving the club handsome profit.
