A large capitalization does not nee
ccsarily create trust. Many legiti-
mate and beneficial corporations have
immense capital stocks. The objec-
tionable trust is a combination which
absorbs nr-nLar of previously indie
pendent plants, dilutes the legitimate
and original capitalization with three
to five times the bulk of pure water,
and then, closing down numbers of
these plants, increasing the cost of pro-
duets to the public that dividends may
be paid upon fictitious values. That's
the sort of thing the people are after.

TO COTTON GINNERS

The past ginning season again demon- strated the incomparable superiority of the American Cotton company's roundlap bale. Not only were farmers benefited who had their cotton put up in roundlap bales, but even the patrons of old style gins profitted by the presence of roundlap competition
 Although last year the American Cotton company largely increased the number of. its presses in the south, installing all that it was able to build. the demand in New England and abroad for cotton baled by this process greatly exceeded the supply. The company is preparing this year to add largely to the number of its presses. The company's works are running day and night building presses, which will be leased to responsible gfnners, who own or are prepared to build modern gin houses in good cotton districts, on rental which is ultimately repaid by the cotton buyer in tine premium for cotton in roundlap bales.
 Information concerning leases will be supplied by MT. T. w. Pratt, Huntsville, Ala; or MT. A. R. Nininger, Montgomery, Ala.

Hon. Frank s. White, chairman of the Morgan state campaign ccnnittee, was seen yesterday by a representative of The Age Herald, and in response to a request for an interview on the senatorial situa- ton, said:
 'sThe Morgan forces are delighted over itne result of the elections in the counties called off by Governor Johnstons friends in order to boost him and give prestige to his campaign before tine aor4l primaries. When Marshall, Limeston, Colbert, Jack son, Morgan and Macon held elections in December last 'Jlere was no organization Of the Morgan forces and but little effort was made by h.s friends in any Of tnese counties. Marshall went for Johnston absolutely by default, while in Jackson few Morgan speakers reached Jle county on Wednes- day night before ille election occurred on Saturday, and had Ettle opportunity of ad- vertising their appointments or presenting their side of the question 10 the people; whereas Governor Johnston, with Adjutant General Brandon, had been canvassing there for weeks, .ale latter claiming that he alone made twenty-seven speeches for Joanston.
 Tn Limestone the senator himself made a Few speeches and made one, the county being thoroughly canvassed by the gov ernor and his friends In Colbert there was effort made whatever by Senator Morgans friends from outside the county.

REGISTERS REVIEW OF
 THE COTTON SITUATION
Present Price n Strong Argument-Making an Effort to Raise Large Crop
 Next Season.

Mobile, Ala, February S.-The Daily Register, reviewing the cotton situation, and accepting S,5OOOOO bales as conserva- tive estimate of this seasons crop, and calling attention to the fact that there is more money in the crop at cents than in last years big crop at cents, aside of profit being in the saving in cultivating and handling a small crop, as compared with a large one, urges that the planters refrain from over cropping next season, as they seem disposed to do.
 "Al this, says the Register, lis strong argument against making effort to raise a huge crop the coming season. If the south is to make the price for cotton, as it has been able to do for quite a while this season. 1t must refrain from raising more cotton than the world can consume. It is inevitable that if a staple is pushed upon a slow market the buyers make the price.
 For years the complaint has come that the planters have been at the mercy of the Liverpool buyers. The sufferers have gone so far as to charge that there has been a conspiracy to keep prices down, but it is evident-and the experiences of this year prove it-that the planters themselves, by raising entirely too much cotton have put the power of dictating the price into the hands of the buyers or, in other words, have been co-conspirators in keeping prices down, and they have had themselves alone to blame. Let them take warning and not do over again next years crop what they have reason to know Is greatly to their disadvantage"

sures his nomination. The Thrty-first district, Colbert Franklin and Marion will send a Morgan senator, Colbert having already gone for Morgan, the other two being absolutely certain. The Fifth sena- torial district, Marshall and Jackson, has already acted and is included in the three votes from Jackson given above for John- ston. No action was taken as to a can didate from the Twenty-seventh district Lee and Russell, in the election recently held in the latter county. In the Third dis trict. Winston, Culman and Blount Win ston gave a large majority for Colonel Newman, a strong Morgan man.
 q am very much gratified at the preva- lent Morgan sentiment find in all parts of the state, especially among the farming and laboring classes The campaign will be pushed vigorously from now until April and I am confident of the overwhelming success of Senator Morgan's cause"

 '.In Macon there was no effort made out side of the county by Morgan's friends and I am informed that the dispensary question was the issue upon which the contest hinged between Mir.

  three beats out of twenty-on and two of these (by majority aggregating only five votes. Governor Johnston is in error in ex- cluding Clarke from the list of counties in which a direct vote for senator was taken.

TWO ATTACKS ON CURRENCY BILL CockreII Said the Measure Was
 Plainly Unconstitutional
ALLEN RESUMED HIS SPEECH
He Accused the Republicans ot Breaking Faith With the People on Bimet- allism and Discrediting the
 Bimetallic Commission

Washington, February S.-Almost imme- drately after the senate convened discussion of the financial measure was resumed. MT. Allen, of Nebraska concluded his speech, charging the republican party with break ing faith with the people on bfmetallism, and systematically d,screditing the work of the international b.metalic commission MT. Cockrell of Missouri, also addressed the senate on the financial bill, making a technical analysis of the house and senate measures. He charged that the senate sub stitute contained the initial move toward the perpetuation of the national debt.
 house bill was passed granting the New Orleans levee board authority to move the existing lines in front of the United States marine hospital in New Orleans.
 Afser morning business had been conclud- ed, Mir Allen, of Nebraska, resumed his speech on the financial bill, which he began yesterday. Recurring to his discussion of the position of the republicans on bi- metallism, he said that notwithstanding the promises made by that party and the fact that it has majority in both branches of congress 1t had not done one thing to re- store silver to its former position as stand- ard money. He declared that while the bimetalic commission sent abroad had acted in good faith, he had no doubt that it's effcl1s were systematically discredited by the administration at home.
 Mr. Cockrell of Missouri opposed the pending bill He said the proposition in the house bill to fix the standard in gold was in plain violation of the constitution, which provides that each shall make gold and [ silver coin legal tender, not gold or silver coin.
 In discussing the senate substitute, MT. ; Cockrell asserted that the legal tender quality of the standard silver dollar was taken away absolutely as to treasury E'otes and the g-eenbacks. It's legal tender quail ity was nullified absolutely. Discussing the methods provided in the substitute for maintaining the gold reserve and the parity of the money issued by the UnJ-ed States, executive would permit gold standard sec retary of the treasury to go into the mar ? ket and buy gold with United States notes at such price as he might deem in the cir cumstances proper? That, he believed, was an auction sale of United States notes.
 He criticized sharply the power vested in the secretary of the treasury to issue bonds of the United States in order to maintain the gold reserve. For the next thirty years the United States would be tied down by a debt of more than billion of dollars with no option of extnguishfng 1t and no possibility even at the end Of the thirty years period of paying the debt.
 The senate at 4:10 D. m. went into execu- tive session and soon adjourned.
