of the United states.

Joseph III. Choate, the United States
ambassador. and Baron Russell. of Kill
lowen, lord chief justice of England,
were the principal guests the other
evening at the banquet of the Hard
wicke society in London.
Lord Russell, tOasting 'The Ameri-
can Bench and Bar" devoted his speech
to the merits and dement's of the Amer
lean judicial system, remarking that
he had always wondered how the bad
system of choosing judges could have
produced such a long line of distin-
guished men," He paid high tribute
to the United States supreme court,
and coupled the toast with the name of
Mr.. Choate, whom he characterized as
the latest of the notable men, mostly
lawyers, the United States has sent us,
who have strivcn worthily and success
fully to maintain the high traditions of
their profession"
Mr.. Choate said that justice was ad-
ministered in the United States to the
satisfaction of the people, while litigaa
ton was much cheaper there than in
England and people who had griey-
ances were, therefore, encouraged to
seek their remedies in the courts. On
both sides of the Atlantic, he remarked,
lawyers seemed to be inspired with the
same sentiments.

 A good share of the replies are not an- swers to the question:, for the New York brokers sought estimates of the outturn of the crop as a whole. A goodly number of the Alabama replies relate to the crop in immediate sections; but taking them up one side and down the other they indicate a crop below 10,O0o,0OO bales. There are per- haps 800 replies on the printed sheet, com ing from that many of the best business men in the south, and when these replies are averaged they point to a crop not larger than 10,0Oo.GoO nor less than 9,OOO,00o bales.

Home.Made Estimates of the Crop.

"A New York firm asked on September 2S by wire for estimates of the cotton crop The firm in question Is Messrs. Price, Me- cormick & Co., well known throughout the south. They received many replies, which they have published. The Alabama replies are a sufficient index of all, and sum- mary of these will enable the reader to see what home experts of high standing think the crop outturn will be. In all. sev- enty-one replies were received from this state.
 The Bank of Evergreen says 9,50O,000 bales would be liberal estimate. Messrs. T. G. Outlaw & Co.,, of Mobile, put the crop. at 1O,25O, 900 bales. The Farley Nation al bank of Montgomery adopts 9,5OOOO0 bales as it's estimate. Nearly all, however, state in prcentage their opinions of the crop. and these percentages vary from 20 to 40 below the figures of last years crop. Of those who believe the crop is 40 per cent. smaller should be mentioned the

Jefferson County Schools.

Outside of Birmingham and the lesser cities of the county, there are about 250 public schools, and County Superintendent Fountain has his hands overfull in his efforts to reorganize and bring them up to higher standards. He is working without regard to hours, and fortunately youth and vigor are on his side. He needs, however, the cooperation of every intelligent and patriotic citizen. He needs all the help he can secure.
 In brief, he is trying to consolidate the weaker schools, to lengthen the terms of all and to weed out the mischievous mix should be distinctly and clearly understood, namely, there is now enough public money to support in every district a good free school for six months. When the Bulger tax becomes available every school can be free-wholly free-and yet have a good teacher eight months in the year.
 The trustee who makes contracts here after for mixed pay and free schools will do so without the sanction of County Su- perintendent Fountain or Superintendent of Education Abercrombie That evil is to be abolished. There is now public money enough for good schools in every township during six months of the year. Keep this fact in mind. Keep in mind the fact that the money is public money Superintendent Fountain is making plain the amount and source of the money available in each school district He withhods no facts in the interest of teachers who want the puD- lie money, and as much. private money as they can secure. He is the childrens s friend. He is the peoples representative. Give him time enough and he will bring the county schools up to the level of the schools in the cities.
