fore frost and, it knows enough at pres ent to connect with Pell City. Of course this was confidential.
 Another fellow tells me that all the shrewd cotton spinners in the South sold their product ahead last spring to New York and Eastern brokers who were fig uring on the China market, and that they have dropped a cent or two a yard They tell me that the Southern spinner who didn't sell ahead then is now selling his goods, if selling at all, a basis of seven cent cotton. thus thereby losing money At the same time these fellows are kick ing like a Selma mule, against yesterday s government cotton report which shows the crop to be way down in the seventies. They say the government expert is either a blank or blankety blank; that the crop while showing up bad front a month ago, now shows up like the White House con- servatories. These optimsts predict seven cent cotton in September, and they say if the trouble in China continues until Sep tember 15 six cent cotton will prevail The spinners here, and there are many from South Carolina and Georgia, are grizzly bears on the new crop of cotton.
 
 The iron men here are not numerous, but there are railroad men who haul iron, and the hauling price depends upon the selling price, The haulers are bit blue just now. They had expected to build railroads in China and haul all sorts of manufactured products of iron and steel to the Atlantic or Pacific coast for export to that country after the allied forces had captured Pekin, but the delay of the powers in doing their duty has put stop to manufacture and sent the big salaried men off to the summer resorts to await the coming of prosperity.

TO A ROBIN IN ALASKA

John Burroughs In the Century. O varied thrush! o robin strange!
 Behold my mute surprise. Thy form and flight I long have known, But not this new disguise. I do not know thy slaty coat,
 Nor vest with darker zone; I'm puzzled by thy recluse ways
 And song in monotone. left thee mid my orchards bloom,
 When May had crowned the year; The nest was on the apple -bough,
 Where rose thy carol clear. Thou lurest now through fragrant shades
 Where hoary spruceS grow; Where floor of moss infolds the foot.
 Like depths of fallen snow Loquacious ravens clack and croak,
 Nor heed me in my quest; The purple grosbeaks perch and sing
 Upon the cedar's crest. But thou art doomed to shun the day.
 A captive of the shade: I only catch thy stealthy flight
 Athwart the forogt glade. Thy voice Is like q hermit's reed
 That solitude beguiles; Again 'tis like a silver bell
 Adr:ft in forest aisles. Throw off, throw off this masquerade,
 And don thy ruddy vest, And let me find thee. as of old,
 Beside thy orchard nest

Plays and Players This Season.

The theatrical season will soon be opened at both of Dimlnghani'S theuiers, not including it's thriving summer theaters. for the latter will be closed when the doors of the former are opened. What will be offered the play-going public in the com- ing season?
 The question is not difficult The same old round of society plays will picture the degenerate woman with LOW and then a melodrama of blood curdling proportions. In the latter, the woman will if sic be the chief villain, plot and wreck and per haps murder her victims. and just fate will speedily overwhelm her. In the so- ciety play the degenerate woman reforms The ingenuity of the reformation is about all there is in the play.
 All must see that the blood and thunder play Is the better of the two in moral tone. in all ethics, for in it the villain, male or female, is fully done up. while in the

pr. keWton's Immortality.

The Rev. R. Heber Newton, rector of a strong Episcopal Church in New York city, is the latest man to come forward to tell us all about the future world. As no one has ever come back to tell us about the next world or is likely to come back, the it as any one else does, which is simply nothing at all.
 MT. Newton bases his story of the here after upon evolution These are the most striking features of his immortality:
 Death is the true resurrection. No other resurrection is conceivable.
 He who dies awal<ens into consciousness the same being as of old.
 The threads of the old existence are not cut at the touch of death.
 Death ushers into no foreign world. All that is essential to human life here will be found there.
 The activities of our being on earth will be the activities of our being in heaven.
 The occupations of earth must shadow and type the occupations of heaven.
 In higher and nobler forms we must go on doing there what we are doing here.
 Death makes no break in the continuity of character. A man is the same here and hereafter.
 The wise man before death will be wise after death
 There will be fools over there as here.
 The selfish man before death will remain the same selfish man after death.
 The fingers that have been busy han Ging the croupier of our American Monte Carlo, which faces Trinity Church, cannot turn at an hours notice to playing harps in the New Jerusalem.
 MT Newton's dreams may prove true no one knows; and there may be no hurt in such dreams; but when dogmatism un- dertakes to say this, that or the other about the next world, it is plainly going outside of human knowledge, for no ore knows even as much about the life to come as ne knows about life in the rings of Saturn. If Mir. Newton had presented his dream-like theory as d dream-like theory no one need have objected He has as good a right to thcorize as the next man. But he presents 1t in the most dogmatic manner, saying it is thus and thus-this rant for such positiveness. Neither does any other man, lay or ecclesiastc.
 After all, the duty of this life seems to be to do the best one can in it. and to hold as to the unknown world as simple and undefined faith as his individual organi- zation will admit of. Anything beyond this is tinged with unwarranted dogmatism and unmistakable humbuggery.

of the August afternoon of this year of grace, more than two centuries after the word-famous adventurer passed to God!
 Twilight and the Happy Valley came to- gether-happy twilight and Happy Valley and happy home! And within the blessed portal, across the sacred threshold, the worshiper rested, and crossing himself, swore piously that the blessedest, beauti- fullest, divinest creation of all that glori- ous day of divine splendor and superlative joy was the stately, loving, great-souled mother who made that home holy, as mothers make holy all homes of faith and love this green old earth around; and it is of such as she that the angels cry holy, holy, holy.

 The Democrats of North Carolina are jubilant over their recent victory, but they have another fight on hand in their own ranks over the United States senatorship to succeed Marion Butler, the bewhiskered Populist. The fight is largely between F. M. Simmons, who was chairman of the State Democratic Committee, and Julian S.. Carr, who formerly owned the Bull Durham tobacco factory at Durham. Carr was voted for by the North Carolina dele gation at Kansas City on the first ballot for Vice President Carr is handsome, jolly, clever able and wealthy. His hair is white, his face rotund and f1orid, his eyes blue and bright. His purse is puffed with the profits of the Bull Durham tobacco the sale of which is said to have netted him full million and half He owns much Tennessee stock Sloss stock, some North Birmingham property and a small interest in Besssemer.

China Wants Peace.

"An imperial decree," so runs a Belgian official dispatch, names Lii Hung Chang as minister plenipotentiary to negotiate peace" This means business. This is the customary historical end of Chinese war. Li Hung Chang was called in to negotiate the peace of Shimonseld, when Japan be- gan to threaten Pekin; and now that the allies have occupied Yang Tsun we have a renewal of peace negotiations.
 This became probable when Ii Hung Chang was ordered to leave China, and when he put into Shanghai, which is the true diplomatic, if not storm center, of ready to take up the task assigned him. But there are difficulties in the way this | time. Whom is he to negotiate with or rather through? Our MT Rockhill will soon be in Shanghai, but .ne other coun- tries have no ambassadors or commission CTS there, and they may all say that they will not enter into negotiations until their ambassadors are placed in safety and in uninterrupted communication with their respective governments. They certainly will say so, if they consider their own violate international decency as she is now doing.
 But putting the personal issue aside, let us see on what basis a treaty of peace would proceed. The London Spectator maintains that the coastwise provinces of China should be partitioned among the powers, because the empire as a whole can not be conquered or governed by an Euro pean syndicate. Neither Rusisa nor Japan will be entrusted with the stupendous task, and syndicate would not hold together. The Spectator therefore sees no other way of avoiding future Chinese uprisings except by seizing the coastwise provinces.
 There is after all a great deal of cohes- iveness and patriotism in China, and the Spectators plan would but be an aggra- vation of the agressions that created the present problem. Russian and German ag-
 
 proposes to render the irritation doubly or trebly worse. In the long run the coast wise provinces would join the parent coun- try. The vast population is one in tradi- tions, civilization and conceits.
 The true remedy consists in directly the opposite policy. Let the land grabbers give up footed territory, after indemnities have been paid, and then let the entire territory be opened to all, as England or Germany is open to all, and let the guarantees of peace and safety be as strong as diplomats can make them. In other words, give China a chance, free from irritation, to work out her own destiny on progressive but Chinese lines. She has Japan as a guide, and she has the present danger as warning.
