annoyances and expenses OF biennial cleo
lions than two whole years of official
service that the people do not want.
Even the biennial sessions movement is
not endorsed In some states. In New York,
South Carolina, Georgia, New Jersey, Mas
sachusetts and Rhode Island there are an
nual legislative meetings. In Massachus-
etts and Rhode Island, both old well-or-
ganized states, governors are elected every
year. American practice does not endorse
four-year terms of state officials. Alabama
is at present on the approved basis Of most
of the states. She has the mean between
annual and quadrennial terms, and 1t is
indeed doubtful whether the extremes are
desirable.
In Louisiana and Mississippi members
of the lower house of the legislature are
the experiment of quadrennial sessions of
the legislature been trisd-not In a single
state. The Register, therefore. asks Ala
bama to try something that has not been
tested in this country. Appropriations and
tax rates covering four years would not be
elastic, and they might prove burdendsome
on the one hand or inadequate on the other.
Altogether 1t is safer to stick to American
practice. AS to executive officers, over
one-half of the states-twenty-f1ve states
In all-reject the quadrennial plan. None,
In other words. have accepted four-year

The MaYOralty Contest.

The mayoralty contest is practically end
ed. skirmishing is over. The battle of the
ballots will be completed at o'clock Tues
day afternoon, 1t has been warm fight,
and both sides are manifesting much con.
hdence. Both Smith and Drennen are good
democrats and respected citizens. Either
one of them would probably make a mayor
creditable to the city.
The Age-Herald has taken no part in the
contest, because, as a democratic organ and
as a representative of the party it has not
believed that as the contest lies between
good, honest, straightforward democrats it
should advocate one above the other simply
on personal grounds. In the event. how
ever, there should be independent oppose
ton to the nominee of the party The Age
Herald will see to it that the regular nomi-
nee, whether he be Smith or Bremen, is
elected.

Length OF Official Terms.

The Mobile Register insists that four
year terms should be substituted for two
year terms in the legislative and execu-
tive departments of the state. 1t bases its
belief in the proposed change upon the
iished four-year terms already through the
reelection of officials. But officials who
strive through two years to win two more
years of official life are very different from
officials who are securely seated for four
years, and do not expect Reelection. Long
terms and security of tenure do not operate

The small export demand was the chief
cause of a selling movement in New York
and New Orleans. 1t appears that north
ern mills and European mills are, as a
rule well stocked with cotton, purchased
chiefly in the months when cotton was at
its lowest, and they are not at present
taking much cotton.
Another important factor is found in the
preparations for the new crop. 1t Is
claimed that there are evidences of a pref
ty large acreage in the coming year. In
Alabama the weather has not been favor
able but in some of the cotton states. nota
bly, in Texas, no complaints on that score
have been made. The chances are the next
crop will not be materially lowered by the
want of acres devoted to the staple.
In other words, the mills are full of cot
ton, and the feds are full of workers, and
buyers therefore demand lower prices, and
the demands must perforce be granted.
There seems to be a moral at Just about
this point in the story; but if producers
cannot see it, they certainly would not ac-
cept and act upon it if it were put in black
and white.

AGO SOUTH, YOUNG MANI"

From Frank Leslies Weekly.
More money has been made in the south
ern states in the last twenty years than
will be made in the next fifty years in Gu
ba, Porto Rico or the Philippines, and the
chances for money-making in the south
have only commenced The price of iron
for the world is now made at Birmingham,
Ala, and that city will shortly make the
worlds price of steel. The south's indus
trial evolution, which began with the de-
velopment of it's iron interests, rapidly
spread to all of the collateral iron indus
tries, including machine shops and foun-
dries, stove factories, steel plants and
hardware factories. The 5000 new indus
tries which have sprung up during the past
year include fertilizer and phosphate
works, woodworking factories, furniture,
vehicle, agricultural and miscellaneous
works. textile, flour and cotton seed oil
mills, gas and water works. telephone sys-
TENS, electric light and power and ice and
cold storage plants, canneries and hun
dreds of miscellaneous plants. Nearly every
southern state has increased it's railroad
mileage during the past year, and every
southern harbor has largely increased its
export trade. If you seek new

THE INCREASED TAX RATE
From the opelika News.


A few newspapers are harping on the in
crease of the tax rate by the last legisla-
ture. This increase was to provide for in
creased appropriations for the public schools
and for veterans pensions. The cry for
better schools came from every section of
the state and was voiced by these same
papers. The increase of the pittance paid
the veterans is one of the noblest acts of
the last legislature. If the people demand
ed better schools they were willing to bear
the cost Criticism of the legislature for
doing the peoples bidding is unjust. When
the brethren of the press take such a. posi-
ton they are putting themselves in opposi-
ton to better schools and to better care for
the battle Scared heroes who offered their
lives upon the altar of their country It Is
simply a question of whether they are in
favor of pensions and better schools If
they are they must endorse the slight in
crease in the tax rate necessary to secure
them. Brethren are you for or "forninst ?"

The Army to Be 100000 Strong.

There has never been any real doubt as
to the size that the administration would
make the army under the army reorganlza-
ton bill There was only question as to
the nature of the excuse that would be
utilized in carrying it to the limit. The ex-
cuse has been found In the present condl-
ton of the Philippines, and it has practi-
cally been decided to call for So 600 volun-
teers in addition to the provisional or reg
ular army of Go, 900 men. The enlistments
for the regular army now number 10000,
and that branch of the service will soon
be filled.
The pressure upon the president to call
for volunteers has been heavy, and no one
has expected him to resist it. He has pre-
tended to resist it, but at no time has he
seriously intended TO lose the patronage
connected with an increase of the army to
100000 men. Nearly thousand much de-
sired general, staff and regimental appoint
ments will be thrown into his hands, and
at the opening of his second campaign such
patronage is not to be despised. 1t has
not been. 1t will be worked for all it is
worth.
Although Aguinado is rapidly growing
weaker, and is perhaps today without am
munition or other resources, it is claimed
in the war department and in other admin
istration circles that fully $4,000 men must
be sent to the Philippines. Such number
is not really needed there, but they are
nevertheless to be sent; and it is believed
that General Joe Wheeler will go along as
one of the three major generals that will
be commissioned with the mastering in
of $1,000 volunteers.
The real cause lies deeper, however, than
patronage, much deeper than the require
ments of new possessions. The men and
the trusts and the corporations who make
up the Hanna slush fund as four years roll
around, want large standing army. They
have been promised as much, and they de-
mand before again subscribing that the
promises of 1896 shall be fulfilled. This Is
the long and short of it. Plutocracy is to
win out. 1t is to be protected by 100000
bayonets, not to mention machine guns
1t calls for troops as a condition precedent.
Troops before cash, and the administrator
Is attending strictly to business Its CAM
paign manager is business in every sense
OF the word. When he says the army must
be increased, his word must be made good.
Mr.. Mckinley has been permitted to play
his little part as an opponent of army in
crease, and the curtain falls as the new
volunteers come marching in.

The average export price per yard fell
from $50 cents in 1896 to ACT cents in 1890
Since January, 1899, prices have been hard
ening at least. but figures are not yet at
hand to show what effect this has had on
the export movement. An unlimited mar
ket may be available If small profits be ac-
cepted, while large profits may perhaps be
realized in a narrow market American
manufacturers will perhaps have to choose
between the two. 1t is at any rate certain
that broad market is open to them if they
are not too grasping in the matter of
prices.
OF all the exports in the periods mention
ed in the foregoing table, none are so re-
markable or gratifying as those to China
In the 1897 period we sent to that country
900 yards In the 1899 period we sent
them Ill 100000 yards, or over one-half Of
our entire exports of cotton goods. Who
shall say the south is not interested In an
"open door?' The agricultural as well as
the otton-manufacturing south is deeply
interested in maintaining level and equal
trade facilities In that crowded cotton
wearing land, and the administration and
the party that permits Russia or France
or any other country, or any combination
of countries, to close that empire against
American trade, will receive a full dose of
American indignation. The "open door" is
the most important matter before the coun-
try at the present time.

SUFFRAGE BAD SHAPE

From the Tuskegee News.
Election laws need revising in many d.
rections. Scores of good people refrain
from voting even in primary election be-
tween white men because they believe that
the managers of elections do not seruple to
rob one man of votes and to give them to
another Our laws need such revision that
public sentiment could grow to regard men
thus guilty they should be held by all
honest people.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES,
The Drop in Cotton.

Prices of cotton are lower, although no
one expects an outturn of even 1000, 900
bales during the year. Receipts have been
increased, 1t is true, but they have not
been increased to those of the correspond
ing time of last year.
Two factors have led to lower prices In
the first place. exports of cotton have fall
en- off, as the following table plainly
shows:
