loH in carriages when on parade, smok' ing cigarettes. They are brunettes from Mexico City, or at least from Atlanta Anybody who will pun cigar cite smoke when on parade should or general principles be locked up. and The Age-Herald stands ready to sup port the esteemed Montgomery Adver tiser in the bold position 1t is inclined to take, with no fear of the bulls or bullaghters before it's eyes.
 Truth. however, compels us to say that the moral issue Is complicated with pecuniary matters. The buH fights are not a part of the street fair, They are near it, too near it for com forts sake. but are not Q part of it. It Is case of rival attractions. The bold cigarette smokers and bull fight CTS are gathering in ducats that the street fair covets, and vice versa, Thus controversy arises, but also a great moral issue.
 Bat no blood will be shed, because the rivals will pack up tonight and hie themselves to some other town. It is shrewdly suspected that the bull fight CTS ana Midway folk of the street fair are really partners, and that the quarrel they have fomented is one that has free advertising side to 1t. The more discussion the more gate re- eeipts. This lessens to some extent the moral side of the controversy, while it maintains in great swing the gate receipts.

Cafves $ Rs1usolto Ssng sn Somheru Cs1ses

From New York Commercial Advertiser. The reported refusal of Calve to sing in Nashville on Wednesday night because she was dissatisfied with the reception she received in Louisville does not sound very plausible although the reason given may be true. Western papers are very likely to assign such a reason to the fall ure of a singer to fulfill an advertised en- gagement, because the old tradition of the prima donnas capriciousness as es- tablished by Patti, di Murska and other great singers of the past still fingers out there.- But the singer of today however capricious she may be by nature and temperament, is not throwing away large sums of money to gratify her whims and Calve is by no means an exception to the rule. On the other hand, she is one of the thriftiest of priman donnas. All her triumphs, all the culture she has ab- sorbed by contact with cultured people and all the incentives she has had to be a spendthrift have not eliminated from her nature the French peasants devoted belief in the "woolen stocking the com mon savings bank of the thriftiest of such use of the stooling--it would need a very large one to hold her earnings of a season-but she spends no more money than Is absolutely necessary and she

FRUIT IN THE SOUTH.

From the Nashville American,
 The possibilities of Tennessee for fruit growing are not appreciated. We have no reputation as a fruit producing State. No appreciable amount of Tennessee fruit is sold outside the State
 Georgia's peach crop is almost as im- portant as its cotton crop, and yet ten years ago no Georgia peaches were sold outside of Georgia.
 Tennessee, in the opinion of those com potent to speak, possesses superior advan- tages for producing fruit and 1t is no longer speculation. but matter of prac- tical experiment. Apples, peaches, pears. plums and small fruit can be grown at a profit, and a very handsome profit, in most sections of the State. particularly Middle and West Tennessee. Far-sighted asriculturists already have seen this.
 In the past two years prominent young wholesale merchant of this city has invested $2o,o00 in an orchard mainly planted in apples, situated about twenty miles from the city. He did not make the investment at random. either. but after several years study of the subject and considerable investigation We noted last summer the success a business man of the city had in raising peaches and plums on his place in the suburbs.

THOSE WHO CAN VOTE.

To the Editor of the Age-Herald:
 A prominent mine owner states that the miners In his vicinity will not vote for ratification because 1t has been urged that they cannot register as voters under the new constitution If, owing to strikes or other causes. they have not worked six months of the year preceding the time they offer to vote.
 They are under an entire misapprehen- sion. If the new Constitution is adopted, then for more than year the provision about work is not in force. Every one now a voter in the State can register in 1909 if he be a soldier of son of soldier or, If he be a soldier or son of solder or. of good character and understands a re- publican form of government Having once registered in 1902 he is a voter for | life, work or no work, strike or no strike. He may become a tramp and never work. but he is voter until he Is convicted of some crime which disqualifies him.

ORDERS WORK STOPPED.
Porto Rican Officials Prevent Steam.
 ship Company Repairing Pier.

San Juan. Porto Rico, November L. The pier property of the New York and Porto Rico Steamship Company was seized yesterday by the police in the name of the people of Porto Rico under orders of Governor Hunt.
 The pierr, which vas erected under a license of the War Department, was burned some months ago and the com pahy has been engaged in building, using the old pier foundation. oontending that it still has rights under the license of the Secretary of War and that it was simply repairing damage done by the ele- ments.
 The Council ruled that the company has no right to do so without a new insular franchise. and yesterday the Council passed a resolution to the effect that in- asmuch as the company was working in violation of the law, the Governor was requested to prevent further trespassing. The action taken places the matter in a. position where the Governor can pass upon the rights of the parties concerned. The company has made an application for an injunction and will sue to recover damages, and will test the validity of Secretary's Roots license under the civil regime,

France and Turkey.

France has dispatched, or is about to dispatch, fleet to Turkish waters for the purpose of sseizing custom house, probably that of Smyrna, with a view of collecting therein the sums that France has long been endeavor- ing to obtain from Turkey. No doubt France has an understanding with Russia relative to this movement, and Turkey will certainly be compelled to settle the claims of France.
 The squadron that France proposes to dispatch is to be commanded by Admiral Cailliard. He will command fleet consisting of the armored cruisers Admiral Pothuan, Chanzy and La Tonche-Treville, the second-ciass cruisers Duchayla and Cassard, and the third-elass cruiser Galilee. These ships will carry as crews 2,286 men, besides large landing parties, making ,sn entire force of men numbering 5000.
 The claims of France against Fur key are all of long standing and their aggregate must be of considerable pro- portion. They include the claims grow ing out of the concession made to the French quays commission, in 1891, covering docks; custom house, ferry boats and tramway, all of which the Sultan promised to buy back, also the sums due to French subjects for the construction of railways, one of which amounts to ss.OOO.0OO, and various lesser claims. The sum demanded in settlement has never been stated, but it is up in the millions, and cannot be settled as readily as the American mis- sionary claim for sse,000 was put out of the way. But whatever its size be, it will be paid, for Turkey cannot withstand France, especially when Russia stands at her back.

Bull Fighting in Montgomery.

Montgomery's street fair, which has nearly run its noisy and noisome course, has raised in the Capital City a great moral issue. ITO be or not to be" scarcely outranks it in Montgom- cry. In that town the great moral issue relates to bulls, bull fighters, and the street parades of the bovine cham pions. It does not appear, however, that objection is raised so much to the appearance in the parade of the pro fessional bulls. as of the professional matadors, picadors and torreadors and other hangers-on of the bull fights which daily take place without any loss of life to either side. No bulls are slain, and no torreadors fall, much to the regret of moral Montgomery.
