except that of 1895. when the condition was reported at S1. The condition of the crop at this time on over twenty seven million acres is. however, not very sympathetic. Favorable weather could give an outturn of half bale to the acre, or fs.0oo.oO0 bales, while un- favorable weather may cut the crop down to 9,0OO,0OO bales. Condition on June is not very significant.
 Cotton experts are disagreed over the acreage report of the government. As rule 1t is considered trustworthy. Many in the trade expected the report to show a larger increase. and yet all must admit that enough acres have been put in cotton to make great crop if the season be favorable. The weather's the thing now. A great acreage awaits it. The September condition of last year fell to 682, and if like result occurs this year the crop will not be great one. The long and short of it is, no one can look into grindstone or the cotton acreage, and see what is coming.

AN HONEST DIsFRANcHIsER.

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
 Mir Pettus of Limestone County, Ala bama, Is defranchiser who is willing to accept disfranchsement's consequences He has introduced a proposition in the Alabama Constitutional Convention to disfranchise all negroes and persons of African descent In that State No black man or person who has any tinge of black blood in his body will ever be al- lowed to vote in Alabama hereafter if this stalwart has his way "We should boldly disfranchise the negro as a ne- gro," he says, land accept whatever consequences there may be in loss of rep resentation in the Electoral College and In Congress.
 From the viewpoint of the disfranchis- CT this man is right. He wants to ef- face the black man, and he is willing to surrender for his State the weight in Congress and the Electoral College which its black residents give It. If there is to be negro disfranchisement this is the way to get 1t. It is dishonest to count the negro in the population for repre- sentation purposes and then prevent him from exercising his privileges as a citi- zen. Senator Morgan of Alabama favors the same idea. He has advocated 1t sev- eral times, but until now no other per son in his State has seemed to accept that notion. Another man has been round however who is willing to take the logical consequences of negro efface- ment, and presumably others of the same view will be discovered
 The Just way of dealing with the fran chise question would be to set up bar riers which would exclude ignorant per sons of both races without any discrim- ination. An ignorant white man is as much of a menace as voter as an igno- rant black man can be. It the latter is to be shut out the former ought also to which would deal with all races alike would not meet with any objection from fair-minded persons. But to blot out the black man at the polls, and at the same time to accept the weight in the electoral college and in Congress which the pres ence of the black man gives, as is done in many southern states, is dishonest, and is gross injustice against the states of the north and west. If Alabama is to do any disfranchising 1t Is to be hoped that she will do it on the Morgan and Pettus plan, whereby the fourteenth amendment can be invoked

proven almost equally as hazardous for hardly a bill has ever been intro duced in the General Assemblies of the State, under this Constitution asking for the right of a city or county to is. sue bonds and borrow money, that met with any opposition whatever. The | Legislatures have simply said; "Get all you can, but pay no more than you can draw from the people under the constitutional limit of taxation" In some instances this may have worked we'll in many instances it has proven disastrous to the creditor and placed a cloud upon the public credit of com munities.
 There should be no reduction of the present limit of taxation in any city or county in this State so long as they bear the burden of an honest debt which to liquidate requires the rate now fixed; but stringent laws should apply forcing public officials to appro- priate and sacredly set aside such pro- portion of the income from taxation as may be necessary to meet obliga- tions to creditors. Then there can be no waste. of funds, no abuse of the power to tax the people, but just set clement with creditors, and an ad- yancement in the tone of public morality.
 Let the present convention at Mont gomery limit the right of cities and counties to create debt based upon tax values, and at the same time force an honorable adjustment with all credit ors, who have staked their money upon the progressive spirit, the integrity and -le honesty of the people who carry the burden of taxation. and who are most benefited by the paving of streets, the building of school houses, jails, city halls, market houses, engine houses, sewers, roadways and other wise improving and beautifying cities and adding to health, convenience and prosperity.
 Let public credit be maintained at any cost. It is a sound proposition to restrict public debt to such an amount as tax values will pay, but there should not be left loop-hole for public de- fault. The subject Is one for serious consideration by the convention and the work of preserving public faith anu credit along this line is as of much concern as the purification of the ballot.

Public Debt Limit.

Whether through oversight or inten- tion to grant subdivisions of the State liberty to abuse, strain or overburden the apparent strength and credit of the people, the fact stands that the pres ent Constitution of Alabama hazard ously omits to place limitation upon the power of counties and cities to bor- row money, and at the same time de- prives them of the power to pay debts honestly contracted and justly due in- vestors in our public securities, by sim ply limiting the power of taxation to a minimum, which in many instances yields hardly sufficient revenue to move the necessary machinery of gov ernment.
 It is encouraging, therfore, to ob- serve that a movement has been started in the present Constitutional convention to establish a debt limit Seven per cent. of the tax values is suggested as a maximum. When this ordinance is engrafted in the organic law of the State. it will prove an easy guide to future General Assemblies in granting rights to municipalities to contract debt, and there can be no further complaint by the people or by the creditor. All will have their eyes open.
 However. there should be no retro action in the matter. If, as it seems. the lack of limitation of power to tax the people in this State from 1868 to 1875 piled up enormous debts, it is also true that the failure of the present Constitution to fix debt lin has

RlrmInaham,sl Population.

'Tt will be mistake for Birmingham to wait until 1910 before making an ef- fort to extend its limits." remarked progressive citizens yesterday.
 ''The proper thing for the Commercial Club to do would be to take up this ques- tion in the fall and urge the next Legis- 1ature to pass the necessary bill. Bir- mingham would have made the right showing in the census of 1900 had the an- nexation measure that MT. B. Steiner and others were pressing become a law. h. stead of population of SS,415 this city would have had 6. 600. The census figures of such of the suburbs as were included in the bill gave that total.
 According to these figures and the per- centage of growth from 1890 to 1900--46 per cent-Birmingham should have when the next census Is taken not less than 9O000 If the proper measure is passed 1t might have easily 100000 or more. for Birming- ham is growing more rapidly now than ever before, and it's growth promises to keep up at the same ratio of increase
 But the point Is to go to work without delay. Let us get in what we can during the next Legislature and by 1908 1t may be feasible to take in nearly all of Jeffer- son County and thus have the Greater Birmingham" in law as 1t is in the minds of the public" f

BILL AND JOE.
Wendell Holmes.

By Oliver Wendell Holmes.
 Come, dear old comrade, you and Will steal an hour from days gone by; The shining days when life was new, And all was bright with morning dew; The lusty days of long ago ssssf. When you were Bill and was Joe You've won the judges ermine robe: You've taught your name to half the
 globe:
 You've sung mankind a deathless strain; You've made the dead past live again; The world may call you what 1t win, But you and I are Joe and Bill. How Bill forgets his hour of pride, While Joe sits smiling at his side. How Joe, in spite of times disguise. Finds the old schoolmate in his eyes Those calm. stern eyes. that melt and fill, As Joe looks fondly up at Bill. An! pensive scholar, what Is famef A fitful tongue of leaping fiames A giddy whirlwind's fckle gust That lifts pinch of mortal dustt A few swift years and who can show Which dust was Bill and which was Joe2 The weary idol takes his stand. Holds out his bruised and acheing hand, While gaping thousands come and go- How vain it seems, his empty showi Till all at once his pulses thrill- ~ Iris poor old Joe's God bless you, Bill!

PROGRESS OF THE SOUTH.

From the Philadelphia North American.
 No greater boon has ever come to the agricultural interests of the South than the development of it's manufacturing in- dustries during the last fifteen years As the movement gains impetus the farmers and landowners will realize more and more fully the benefits to be derived from the widening of their opportunities. The South has so long been classed as pure ly agricultural section that the change 1t Is now undergoing upsets accepted traditions. That is should utilize large part of It's cotton and lumber and iron ore on the spot is an evidence of the economic progress of the age.
 What the South is doing. and what 1t aspires to do to constantly increasing extent. Is to create home markets for it's raw produces. There is a point at which tation. The inevitable tendency is for the manufacturer to get as near as pos sible to his points of supply It Is this influence that of late years has been building up new manufacturing communi- ties all over the South and turning to &C., count the rich natural resources that have long been allowed to lie neglected or hid- den. There is no good economic reason why the South should have waited so long for it's cotton mills. It had the pow CT and the materials, but it was satisfied to let trade follow the beaten path and to ship it's cotton to New England and Great Britain Now that 1t has awaken ed from it's lethargy 1t proposes with the aid of capital and business experience, to make the most of the advantages that have fallen to it's part.
 The staff correspondents of the North American have visited many of the South ern cities during the past month. They have found that the one great need of the South. In the minds of its leading business men and public officials, is man. ufacturing establishments to work on na- tive products. At Danville, Va. for ex- ample, Mayor Wooding says local capital is plentiful. but the business men lack experience in manufacturing. What they desire, as he points out, is some one to lead the way, to start and manage the plants with the cooperation of local in- vestors They know their own opportuni- ties. but are timid about taking hold of them without outside assistance and ad- vice.
 The springing up of misunderstanding towns aud cities throughout the South will stimulate every branch of inS=stry,

School Rolldlnas Needed.

Birmingham will have its three new school buildings not day too soon,' said a member of the school board yesterday.
 "we are in hopes of having each of the three buildings ready for occupancy by September. The white enrolment last year was over 4ooo In September 1t is almost certain to reach 5000, and at this rate we will need one or two more build ings a year hence.a
 with the three structures now under contract completed Birmingham will have seven buildings for white pupils. Eight would not be too many. There Is very pressing need. of a, larger High school building. The Board of Aldermen should be able before long to erect one at cost of slO0,0oo. A structure of that class would answer our purposes for ten years to come.
 "The people of Birmingham are natur- ally proud of their public school system. All that is demanded now Is ample accom- mcdations for the children"

Local Taxation Auain.

Those who are opposing local taxa tion for schools on the ground that the rag, tag and bobtail would rob the tax payers, should be prepared to show that the rag-tag and bobtail are rob ping the taxpayers of South Carolina and Louisiana, both of which states grant unlimited freedom in local school taxation. Either the taxpayers lack influence in Alabama, or else the men who are assuming to speak for them are understanding their position in this state. One of two things is need ful in order to make good the argu- ment of the opponents of local taxa tion for school purposes in this state, namely, they should either show that Alabama's rag, tag and bobtail exceeds Louisiana or South Carolina's, or else they should show that harm has come to the two states that grant authority to every community in them to have just as good schools as they are will ing to pay for. Neither position can be maintained. Property holders are as influential here as they are in either Louisiana or South Carolina, and neither Louisiana nor South Carolina would do without provisions for local taxation for school purposes. Chair man Graham of the education commit tee can readily ascertain the facts in either state, and he should do so, and lay the truth before the convention. In all of the Northern states local taxa tion for school purposes is as natural and universal as the air itself. Those states hold that no community can have too good schools, provided they will pay for them as they go.
 But of local taxation by the vote of all be hazardous in Alabama, then at least let us have local taxation for school purposes whenever and wher- ever the taxpayers of a community de- sire it. This certainly meets all the objections of the men who go about crying against the rag, tag and bobtail. It leaves them not leg to stand upon.
 If Alabama is ever separated from North Carolina and Arkansas in the tables of illiteracy-if ever she is to become a progressive state-if she is to give up tail end honors, 1t must come about through local taxation as sup plement of state taxation. The Black Belt may get school money enough to keep it's white schools open nine months in the year, but the Black Belt should not on that account oppose To- cal taxation where 1t is needed. State taxation should be maintained and outside of the Black Belt local taxa ton is also needed. The cities already possess the needful authority, and like authority should be extended to all sec tions of the state. Some will take ad- vantage of it, and some will not. but it should always be avilable when and where it is needed. Home rule and home good demand this.
