The low price of cotton surely suS-
sests to your mind tho Importance of
growing something that will pay the
producer more for his labor. it is an
evident fact that as long as we produce
AS much cotton az we have been dong,
in the past six years, the price Of cot
ton will remain so low that those who
produce it, will lose money thereby.
Then what is to bc done? We believe
the best thing to do is to raise less
cotton and more wheat. and corn,
oats, sweet and irish potatoes, hogs
and cattle. Produce n living Mt home,
be more independents. Rnise half as
much cotton ns You have been doing,
and command better prices, and you
will surely get them.

glanced and did no serious damage.

railroad case in favor of the United
States against the railroads The case
is considered one Of the most important
that has ever come before the Supreme
Court not only to tho railroads but to

great railway properties represented by
the traffic association. 1t is impossible
to estimate the actual significance of
this decision. Tho proposition laid

Hnn. Thomaa N. MoOIellan.

This distinguished gentleman Is now candidate for the nomination for chief justice of the supreme court, the highest office in the state.
 Judge Mcclellan was born and raised on Limestone creek in this county, and the people here are proud of his career. They sent him to the senate as soon as he was old enough and shortly afterwards he was elected attorney general of the state and in both positions he achieved such emil hence that in 1889 Governor Seay, with the hearty approval of the bar, appointed him one of the supreme judges of the state Tn 1892 Judge Mcclellan was elected to that position for regular term of six years.
 Although he was, when thus appoint ed, perhaps the youngest man who ever went on the supreme bench, he sustained himself. reflected credit on his state and has given general satisfaction to the peo- ple Indeed, there are many of the first lawyers of the land who think he is equal to any of the great judges who have rem dered famous the supreme court or Ala bama. His mind is unclouded by prefer ence or partiality; his temperament is calm and judicial; his legal ability and learning are profound and comprehensive, and by nature and instincts he Is an hon est and incorruptible man. Such man, in the prime of life and of increasing use- fulness, could not well be spared from the supreme court, and we feel assured he will be retained by an overwhelming ma jority of the people of the state.

Strength in Unity.

This Is no time for political strife. The Age-Herald is glad to note that every call- ing of political interests of Jefferson coun- ty are in condition to unite and elect the strongest possible delegation to the next legislature. There are questions of grave and serious moment to this county to be acted upon by the next legislature. In it Jefferson county must have the strongest men. They should be brainy and upright. They should be leaders of men,
 There should be no bartering or trading in the legislative contest. This contest should not be mixed with others. There should be no slate-making in which the various other offices should in ca hoots with the candidates for the legisla- ture. Such trades lead to the selection of good fellows, but not always to the selec- tion of the strongest men.
 The Age-Herald hopes to see fearless strong minded democrats elected to the legislature. Let there be no mistake about the selection of such men. Ambitious youths and inexperienced men can wait. There are too many questions to be con- sidered this time to trust them in the hands of unsophisticated youngsters Good democrats and strong men are needed.

NEGRO SUFFRAGE IN THE SOUTH.

From the Chicago Tmes-Herald, Rep)
 Northern silence in regard to the virtual deprivation of suffrage to the negroes in the south is the concession that the sons of the reconstructionists make to the sons of those upon whom negro suffrage was forced. That suffrage was the inevitable result of the war. It's curtailment is the inevitable result of experience. No one wishes to see restored the negro saturnalia of power that dominated the southern states from 1868 to 1877, nor, on the other hand, is injustice or oppression to be wit messed without protest.
 Louisiana, following the example of Mississippi and South Carolina, has caHled a constitutional convention for the pur- pose of dealing with the suffrage. Un- doubtedly Ia provision similar to that in the Mississippi constitution will be adopted, restricting the exercise of the suffrage those who can read.
 To thds there can be no possible objec- tion, if whatever the qualification. it is made to operate with equity on white and black alike. Let the standard be what the convention pleases, and so long as it can be achieved by intellectual endeavor and is not dependent upon the color of the skin or any other condition of nature, the world wild not object. Everybody will, in fact sympathize with the white people of the south in their endeavor to solve social and political problem such as few people have had to struggle with.
 The leading and educated negroes them selves recognizs the difficulties of the situa- tiom ,am1 are doing their part manfully and patrioticalty in educating their people up to the requirements of an industrious, useful and self sustaining citizenship.
 The rising generation of the south, white and black, are today developing that region on industrial lines that were never before dreamed of, and 1t promises to become one of the wealthiest sections of our great American empire
 In the educated vote of the south there is political safety, not only for themselves but for the unon, and the Louisiana con- yentson will do we'll if it provide for such A. vote But not only good politics but yyjss sta,tesmanship demands that the laws, when they are enforced, be made to act upon all citizens alike In that way and that way alone, eventual safety lies for the body polite.

tial It will take three years, at least, to secure the operation of a new constitu- ton. Three years out of the life of the present generation of children should not be regarded with indifference It Is se- rious matter to deprive these children of three years of opportunities, when an i'm mediate remedy, though it be only par tial. still remains in the hands of the state. Let immediate action be demanded; let the privileges of the present constitu- tion be exhausted. Delay involves ire parable injury to the children who now ap- peal to us, as well as wrong to the fu- ture of the state. Let not the children suffer by postponement; let not the state be wronged by delay.

Postoffice Consolidation.

The fourth assistant postmaster general has charge of the plan of consolidating postoffices at and near railroad and com mercial center. for the purpose of secur- ing greater efficiency of service and great CT economy in operation. The new work has been applied to several localities In the northern states, and will soon be util- ized in the south. On account of Birming- hams dummy and trolley service, it is believed that it will be applied more widely and usefu1ly in this city than at any oth- CT point In the south. If so, fully dozen postoffices will be consolidated with the office in the government building, and mails win be sent to all of them as often as they arrive. The proposed consolidation would sweep in Bessemer at least at one end of the valley, and East Lake at least at the other. How far the new district would be extended along Five-Mle creek CT the policy of consolidation has been ap- piled, it has been carried as far as econo- my and efficiency would warrant.
 In the absence of an actual Greater Bir- mingham this plan would afford a Postal Birmingham that would perhaps answer all reasonable census purposes. When the inquiring mind seeks to know Birming- hams population after its establishment. why, indeed, should not the man who is to supply the information assume that the seeker after knowledge desires to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. That would, of course, be the population of Postal Birmingham in round numbers, 100000. There is Postal London, Police London, and a Sanitary London. It is the Police London that fur nishes the figures of population that go round the world making it the first city in it. A Postal Birmingham will do, in the absence of a straightout municipal Greater Birmingham.

Immediate Relief.

The Age-Herald is very much gratified at the interest manifested by the press of the state in the campaign it has inaugu- rated for better schools. The cause it ad- yocates is a righteous one; it Is the cause of the people and of the truest and highest democracy. It is a cause that appeals to the manhood and womanhood of the state. because it affects the children of Alabama, the pride of the present, the hope of the future Facts and figures have been mar shalled in such formidable array as to con- stitute terrible arraignment of the states manship which has so long neglected the interests of the children of the common wealth. These facts stand uncontradicted and unquestioned, and The Age-Herald appeals to the press of the state to join the issue for better schools. True, we need a new constitution, but has the state exhausted every means for improving the schools under the present constitution? No; the next legislature, if it will, can levy a general tax of one-fifth of one per centum for common schools; it can double the school revenues, and effect many ad- ministrative reforms that are now essen

VANITY FAIR.

Banio-playing is again fad. Ten years ago it was a mania, and then it vanished into obscurity to be revived this year. This is due to nothing but the fact that William K Vanderbilt, IT,, has taken 1t up. and the fad spread first among his friends, whence it got into the newspapers. and because of that the banjo has become the fayorite instrument in all classes. over the country It is said young Vanderbilt is really a clever performer one this in- strument. Other people who play the tink- ling strings are two of the Hayemeyers, Mme de Barrios and Miss Lulu Payne. Mrs Grover Cleveland and Secretary Of War Alger are very fond of the banjos and. while they do not play, often summon good banjoists to perform at their entertain ments. <C
 One of the most curious of fashionable revlvals to be noted at the moment is that of reproductions of the rude crockery-ware ornaments which in the earlier half of tho century adorned the cottage and farm house mantelpiece, and are even yet to be seen in the humble homes of remote vil- lages. Copies of the figures of cats led the way, and models crudely daubed in blue and yellow, with brown smudges for awhis- kers, find place in smart drawing-rooms beside dainty bibeots and silver toys. The taste for such grotesque presentiments has even gone much further, and gaudy parrots of hues unknown in nature, smug-faced dogs squatting on their launches and with gold chains about their necks. lions more rampant than in heraldry, tigers striped with green and red, as well as bacchana- lan figures, are all to be met with, not merely as rarities. but among the- "quo- tations" of wholesale houses. It would probably astonish old Hodge and his wife to discover that the jug nodded after the semblence of a rotund Punch, or the robin with such vermillion breast, was now worth as many half-sovereigns as they gave pence for it when they started house. keeping.
 In Lithuania, a province of Russia, it is customary that the brides ears should be boxed before the marriage ceremony. No matter how tender-hearted her mother may be. she always makes point of admins tering a hearty smack to her daughter in
