it is now admitted that perhaps not

Superintendent Abercrombie's Action

When the Democratic party in its last State convention declared in favor of a bet ter and larger public school system, 1t did not anticipate that technicalities and strict constructions would declare in favor of a poorer and lesser system. Legislative lan- guage has been robbed of its spirit, and the dry letter of the law preferred.
 But John w. Abercrombie is at the head of the school system, and while he remains at the head of it there Is little danger that legislative blunders and strict constructions ssts can harm the public school system. He Pas decided to apply the spirit of the law to the first quarter of the school year, trust ing that the new Legislature, elected der a platform declaring for better and still better school facilities will at least not les- sen what the previous Legislature plainly intended to do. Superintendent Abercrom- bie's faith in the new Legislature certainly Is not misplaced. and his action deserves the commendation of all who believe the Democratic party meant what 1t said when dt declared that the public school system SnOuIu De CaTTleu lO Silll Sredler uSelul- ness The contracts made with teachers based on the plain Intent of the law, as- suredly will stand and be carried out. The Democrats of the coming Legislature are pledged to at least that, and nine-tenths of them at least are zealous public school supporters. There is no occasion for alarm. The boys and girls of the State will re- celve the full benefit of the act of 1S9S-99, appropriating to the public schools si5o,OO0.

Cotton Seed Combine.

Cotton seed may be selling at a good round price, but it is not bringing in the open market more than it is worth to crushers, for crushers are not crushing seed for the fun there is in it, or for healths sake. They crush seed for profit, and if they do not see profit or reason able prospect of it, they stay out of the market. A fair open market is all any one can ask for
 But a fair open market is just what the oil mill men do not propose to submit to. They propose to override such market, by arbitrarily naming the price to be paid for seed this fall and winter. Cotton seed is bulky article, and will not bear even interstate transportation, and the mill owners believe they can control the price throughout the state But this is mis- take, for during the navigation season the formers and merchants on the rivers, as we'll as those near the state lines, can ship to mills in other states.
 The entire scheme is very objectionable. It means that a mill combine will be form- ed each year against the farmers, and that the latter must accept whatever prices the former see fit to pay This should be re- sisted to the uttermost, and 1t should be especially resisted at the outset The Age Herald urges every merchant and farmer to sell his seed outside of the combine that is to say, every one who is situated so that he can do so. There are few mer- chants in the state who cannot find an open, fair market for seed elsewhere. Let the state mills suffer They deserve to suf- fer q scarcity of seed because of the com bine they have formed in the most arbi- trary and highhanded trust manner. It is nothing but hold-up, and very serious one at that

Little EnqIand Abolished.

The Liberals who tried to set up an al- most independent Irish government also opposed the annexation of the Boer Re- publics ard the development of An im- perial government, and the event went into the Parliamentary elections on a general Little England policy. They are beaten out of their boots. The Unionists had fully i5o majority in the House that was re- gently dissolved, and they will have even more in the Parliament that will meet Mo- vember l. John Morley the Liberal leader, recently declared that he stood on the old Gladstone policy as to the two Boer Re- publics. He says "the incorporation of the two States is one of the most evil blunders in our history" The Conservati lives pre- sented the "khaki' Issue, and it has swept the country. It was as powerful in London as in the provinces. and the Liberal party is well-nigh extinguished.
 Lord Salisbury and MT. Chamberlain will direct the policy of England for probably five years to come, and the imperial policy will be predominant. An attempt will be made to form a great and ciosely-knit em- pre, and this will involve representation in the House of Commons The army is to be reorganized and reformed and broad ened, and the Tories are expected to give up much army patronage that they now mogopolize. The army is to be open to all

 Hon. J. J. Ray of Fayette, Democratic nominee for the State Senate in succession to Thomas L. Sowell, Auditor-elect, was in Birmingham yesterday. He is entirely con- fdent of being elected at the time of the national election, November 6. There may be two other candidates on election day; there may be none. P. M. Long of Walker is said to be Republican candidate, but it was reported last night that he would not so remain. A MT Cook of Fayette is an independent candidate, but like Rip Van Wrinkles one drink, he doesn't count. Many of the best Populists in the district have personally assured MT. Ray of their votes, and he believes he will receive a large vote hitherto Populist or Republican. MT. Ray is a strong man, good man. He is perhaps the only Democratic nominee or official in Alabama who was not a candi- date for office when nominated.
 
 'We now have three fine cotton mills in Talladega County. and will soon have the foutrh; those now running being very prosperous" said MT. Miller, the wholesale grocer of Talladega town.

SPECIAL VENIRE
Will be Necessary to Secure Jurors to
 Try Youtsey

Georgetown, Ky, October 5.-When the Youtsey case was called this morning in the Circuit Court, the list of witnesses that the sheriff of Breathitt County had failed to summon was called but none answered present, though the return showed that all had been summoned since Wednesday.
 MT. Crawford reported that the sheriff of Knox County had made no response at all to the rule, and said the defendant wished to await response. Judge Cantrill said the defense had been given ample time to pre- pare for trial, and must now proceed if the commonwealth was ready.
 The commonwealth insisted on trial and the judge ordered the regular panel of jurymen to be called. Colonel Nelson moved to discharge the defendant because the in- dictment filed in this country was only copy. Overruled.
 A motion for postponement was then filed and overruled.
 A long discussion arose over the ques- ton of the filing of the copy of the indict- ment in this court the defense holding that this defect destroyed the jurisdiction of the court. Judge Cantrill ordered that entry should be amended and said that the defendant having already recognized the jurisdiction of the court could not now deHy 1t.
 Motion for continuance was then formally made, and the court took the question under consideration and adjourned until D. m.
 The examination of jurors as to their qualifications to serve was continued until the regular panel of thirty men was ex- hausted and only three men had been ac- cepted. These three are subject to per- emptory challenge from either side A spe- cial venire of fifty men was ordered for tomorrow Most of the who were questioned today were disqualified to serve as jurors because they stated that they had formed or expressed an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the defendant It is quite probable that special venire from Bourbon CountN may be necessary before jury is secured

THE LANTERNS OF ST. EULALIE

Bliss Carman in Ainslee's Magazine. In the October afternoon,
 Orange and purple and maroon, Goes quiet Autumn, lamp in hand, About the apple-colored land, To light in every apple-tree The lanterns of St. Eulalie.
 They glimmer in the orchard shades Like fiery opals set in jade Crimson and russet and raw gold, Yellow and green and scarlet old. And, O, when I am far away By foaming reef or azure bay, In crowded street or hot lagoon, Or under the strange Austral moon When the homesickness comes on me For the great marshes by the sea, The running dikes, the brimming tide, And the dark frs on Fundy side. In dream once more I shall behold Like spiral lights those globes of gold, Hung out in every apple-tree- The lanterns of St. Eulalie.

Deficit Past and Present.

Auditor White, in accordance with a cus- tom that has accumulated and become chronic in the office he so vigantly and in- telligently fills, reports a deficit of the State Oates put it at s225.177 as long ago as No vember. 1896. The difference. of about s40,000 represents the gain of about four years.
 But all these reported deficits are book Keeping deficits, instead of real deficits. They are deficits that Auditor White is in duty bound to recognize, but none of them were are deficits that call for more tax ation, or even more money. These so-called deficits are at the most unfunded debts, and much of them arc not debt at all.
 Three items will suffice to show the na- ture of this deficit of the bookkeepers, namely:
 Agricultural fund ..... ..........S 53,659 Convict fund ...... .... ................ 4SS33 University fund. d........ ....... ........ 56000
 iotA ''..' .......... ...'..... .......Sl5S 45Z
 These items practically wipe out the re- ported deficit. The sum due the university arises from land sales It is unfunded debt, and it always will be unfunded, the State paying the university interest on the sum. The other two items come from revenue collecting departments of the State govern ment. They are debts due from the State to the State. They are to stand as they are until they are increased by further with drawals of money from the sale of fer tilzer tags or the hire of convicts.
 This alleged deficit has been used for jug gling purposes many years. There is no real deficit, and has not been in at least ten years that calls for additional taxation. The State is forehanded for all practical pur- poses and long has been. At certain sea- sons of the year temporary loans may have to be resorted to, but such loans are short loans, to be paid when taxes flow Into the treasury again. Auditor White reports $62O, 767 in cold cash in the treasury, and taxes are now due and payable The Leg islature could readily abolish bookkeeping deficits, but if people understand their true inwardness even that would be q waste Of energy.

The First Step.

The first step towards the holding of great industrial exposition in this city was taken yesterday, and the enthusiasm which marks the beginning of the move ment practically guarantees the successful continuation of the undertaking, which means more for Birmingham and the State of Alabama at large than any effort yet made to bring to the attention of the world the wonderful resources of this wonderful State.
 With pardonabe pride The Age-Herald believes that it's suggestion has struck popular chord and that the public-spirited citizens of the State and especially of the Birmingham district will lend their most enthusiastic aid to the success of the en- terprise.
 At a meeting of the Commercial Club, held yesterday afternoon, Maj. Frank Y. Anderson introduced a resolution which provides for committee to take up the question, and it now remains for the people to say whether such an exposition shall be held.
 The question of detail is yet to be set tied, but at this early stage of the move ment 1t is already clear that every en- couragement will be given to the commit tee, and while the undertaking means work early and late there is the necessary pluck and energy in this community to carry it on to a magnificent success The Age-Herald will venture another suggestion, that Mai Frank Y. Anderson be named for director general of the ex- position. No state in all the South can claim a more progressive citizen or one who would better grace such an office. A man of broad mind and ideas, in his hands the exposition would be broad in its scope and successful in it's every detail.
