Bob Whites in Moiie

Of general interest is this statement by q correspondent of the Mobile Register:
 Credit is due, from legitimate sportsmen, to a wideawake, progressive citizen of Mo bile and Spring Hill for good work done in the propagation, to be followed by the dis semination of a number of the shamefully- abused Bob-White. mscalled Quail or Partridge-both of which it resembles more or less. but neither one it is. In the vicini- ty of the Stein water works, Mir Edmond Carre is propagating that excellent game bird, now nearly eXterminated here by DOL hunters. How MT. Carre rears them the writer does not know yet, but surmises that 1t is one or more commodious aviaries, where the eggs are laid and matched. Re- suits are that MT. Carre has had matched out some three sttings and had from them about six dozen of young Bob-Whites with good hopes of having more; all of which he intends to distribute freely for the pur- pose of restocking Spring Hill and sur roundings.

MIR. ToML,NsoN IN KENTUCKY

From the Hopkinsville C<y) Daily.
 MT. Tomlinson was introduced to the au- dience by MT. J. B. Allensworth The majority of the citizens present were white men and democrats. The distinguished visitor was received with cheers and ap- plause. His speech was devoted to the history of the struggle for silver. the de- monetization of that metal and the train of evils which have followed as a conse- quence of the vicious legislation of fS73 MT. Tomlinson touched upon the trusts and their tendency to destroy competition in commerce. and charged that they were fostered and promoted by the same agen- cies that had destroyed silver as a money in this country. MT. Tomlinson was listen- ed to with the closest attention. His ad- dress was more calculated to instruct than to enthuse. It was an argument for think ing men. and was a maste?ly and invulner- able array of trusts which could not fail to appeal to fair-minded men,

A a,ama's New National Guard.

It should not be forgotten that the war with Spain practically destroyed the na- tional guard of the state, and that the au- thorities have organized splendid brigade in place of the one that General Louis " Clark formerly commanded. General Clark is still at the head of the troops of the state and he is ready to cooperate with the citizens of Birmingham in se- curing for the state fair period the first encampment of the new brigade.
 The Age-Herald bespeaks special atten- ton of this matter The bringing here of three thousand men, well-organized and well-equipped, in an eneampment during the state fair. would add largely to the at tractiveness of the occasion and enhance the public interest in the great harvest festival. The pomp of war is very attrac- tive to all people. even in these days of peace conferences. The latter put on paper excellent thories, while conflicting nations go on settling their troubles by force Eng land already finds that the declarations of The Hague do not fit the Transvaal, and  General Jiminez did not consider them when he wanted to dispossess the constitu- tional successor of Heureaux. So it hap pens that military evolutions and military display have lost none of their attractions for the mass of mankind
 The matter is one of such importance that the Board of Trade and the Commer- cial club would but meet public opinion if they would call special meetings with view of taking hold of the matter in earn est. The first encampment of the new brigade must be secured, and General Clark should have the support of the peo- pie of this city in his efforts to bring here the reorganized national guard of the state.

COTTON GOING EAST

From the Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
 Senator Morgan of Alabama has given the weight of his endorsement to the claim frequently made in these columns that Manila would in time. become the Ameri- can Hong Kong of the east and rival of Liverpool as a cotton market And when he tells us that already many thousands of bales of cotton are going from the South to the Orient via San Francisco at saving in freights and other expenses he imparts information of the highest importance to the cotton-growing states.
 If cotton can reach the east overland at reduction in freight rates as compared to the Liverpool route the importance of the Nicaragua route becomes the more manifest because, 1t goes without saying, an all water route will be cheaper than part rail and part water where trans shipment is necessary.
 With cheaper route to the east where two-thirds of the worlds cotton wearing population is found and with a splendid harbor and depot in Manila we will be in a position to compete successfully with any of the European nations, and those European cities that have grown up and waxed rich on the mere handling of Ameri- can producers will have to seek otherAac- tivities.

Action of the Board of Education.

The good words of the board of education are well enough in their way, but actions speak louder than words and the reduc- tion of the High school fee from 8 month to s2 is better-far better-than all opinions. So far as 1t goes the reduction is credit to the good sense of the board; but the board must know that. while their decision is law this school year, the people will not stand any fee in the High school after the coming scholastic year. They will not pay doubled taxes, and have the larger share of their own children shut out of a public school by fees.
 The principle of fees in public school is wholly indefensible. and the policy of such a plan is oXecrable No other pros porous and aspiring city in any section Of the country would for a moment adopt such policy; and now that the Birming- ham amendment is law beyond question there is no reason whatever why this city should impose such fees, thereby driving from the public schools the very scholars they were eSldDliSlcu peii lleu euie'ii v ~ "S'A0 fit. public school system for the well-to- do would be cruelty itself, and yet that is what Birmingham has in its High school as it is now conducted.
 The Age-Herald protests against any fee upon resident pupils in any public school or this city; and it gives notice now that this protest will be pressed home in good season next summer. The question shall be pre- scented in all it's aspects before the schoias- tic year of 19Oo-1901 is begun. The economic aspect has had an undue influence. Thcre are other aspects. and they shall have proper attention and weight in good season. To this The Age-Herald pledges itself and this pledge shall not be forgotten.

MT. Nielps Estimate of the Crop.
Edition

MT. Niell stands by his prediction of a possible crop of 100000 bales. He recently rabled Nell Bros, of London to this eff feet:
 "The recent rains are sufficient every where except in north Texas, and part of Arkansas. The condition throughout the Mississippi valley is splendid and in the Atlantic states it is generally excellent"
 And the English spinner very natural ly trusts MT. Nell, who practically prom ises him raw material at low prices, and plenty of it.
 Just why MT. Niell's estimates should is difficult to understand. The Memphis Commercial-Appeal has gone over his en- tire record as a cotton-crop guesser or estimator, and it finds very little in it to inspire confidence. In 1889 his estimate was from 9OOO00 to 500,OOO bales wide of the out come. In 1890 he missed the result over 6c0,oO0 bales. In 1891 the crop was nearly million bales larger than he predicted it would be. In 1892 he put out four esti- mates. and in each of them he was 4O0.- GOO bales at least out of the truth In 1893 he made a good guess. coming within 150,- GOO bales of the output, but in 1894 he was 900,oo0 short of the actual crop. In 1895 his estimate was 0,OOO bales too low. but in 1896 he came within 15O.0O0 bales of the crop. In 1897 he introduced his system of mini- nuns and maximums. By using this sys- tenn and by making supplementary estl- mates he did come within 100000 bales of this great crop. In 1898 his final estimate was 11,9oOOOO bales The crop was 11,274,- $40 bales.
 There is nothing in any of these esti- mates that goes to establish MT. Nielrs infallibility. He sees no farther into the millstone than the everyday guesser who has no international connections. Mr. Niell has taken this year margin of l, 1,5OO- GOO bales. In other words, he says the crop may fall to 1O,5eO,O00 bales, or it may rise to 100000 bales, but the weight of his opinion is, in the spinner's mind, in favor of the latter figure. When a man takes margin of 100000 bales his guess ceases to be definite, or of much value
 Ii is to be regretted that more farmers cannot hold their cotton until after Christ mas. Perhaps four out of five will be eom- pelled to sell their crop as soon as it is picked out But one in every five will be free to hold his cotton and he should do so. He can thereby not only gain to him. self the advantages of the real situation, but he will also perhaps help to some ex- tent his neighbors who are compelled to sell their cotton as soon as 1t is ready for market

THE MUSE OF JARoR

Edwin Markham in New York Journal. And 1 Saw a New Heaven and New
 Earth. Revelations. come heroes. to the world gone wrong;
 I bring the hope of nations; and I bear song,
 The faint first light of morning on my hair. I look upon the ages from tower: am the Muse of the Fraternal State: NO hand can hold me from my crowning hour:
 My song is Freedom and my step is Fate The toilers go on broken at the heart; They send the spell of beauty on all
 lands; But what avail? the builders have no part Nor share in all the glory of their hands I have descended from Alcyone; l am the muse of Labor and of Mirth: I come to break the chain of infamy That Greeds blind hammers forge about the earth. I have descended from the Hidden Place, To make dumb spirits speak and dead feet start; I feel the wind of battles in my face. hear the song of nations in my heart I stand in Him. the Hero of the Cross, To hurl down traitors that misspend His bread; I touch the star of mystery and loss To shake the kingdoms of the living dead. I wear the flower of Chrstus for a crown: l weigh the stars and give to each a name; And through the hushed eternity bend down
 To strengthen gods and keep their souls from blame. Fs come to overthrow the ancient wrong, To let the joy of nations rise again. I am Unselfish Service, I am Song. I am the Hope that feeds the hearts of men. am the Vision in the world-eclipse, And where I pass the feet of Beauty burn And when set the hugle to my lips The youth of work-worn races will re- turn. am Religion and Inc church I build. Stands the sacred flesh with passion packed;
 In me the ancient gospels are fulfilled In me the symbol rises into Fact. I am the maker of the Peoples bread, I hear the little burdens of the day; Yet in the Mystery of song I tread The endless heavens and show the stars their way.

Rennes Promises Relief,

It will be a relief to have the Dreyfus case ended. Nearly all the witnesses have been heard and in the course of another week the army, and particularly it's gen. erals, will have done their worst. and the case will be in the hands of the lawyers and of the court.
 The case may even come to a more sud- den termination. The indefatigable Labori has demanded the summoning by the court of the military attaches in Paris in 1S9i whose names are involved in this remark able case. The two men are Colonel Schwarzkoppen, who was at that time Il member of the German embassy, and Col onel Panizzardi of the Italian embassy If these men, first procuring the consent of their respective governments, should ap- pear and testify that they had no deal collapse like an egg she'll It might thus be terminated this week. One thing is certain, M. Labori would not demand the summoning of these men if he did not hi4ph what lHtlI lSStlHHOHy NOulu De.
 There Is another excellent new feature of the ease General de Galifet is asserting a control of the situation. As minister of war he proposes to have no bullying on the part of the army at Rennes or else where over the verdict or over the closing scenes of the couct. He has ordered the conspiring generals to leave Rennes and 10 go at once to their commands. General AIereier is on the retired list. and ne may be able to stay, but he cannot unaided nominate the court. At the end of the testimony the entire lot with the excep- ion of Mercier must within two hours ieave Rennes.
 Tine case is one of colossal perjpries and forgeries. Fifteen distinct forseries have been. established and the known perjuries are simply beyond count. Any French general who was placed on the stand furnished 50 many inventions of hts own mind that perjury lost it's dis
