Rural Free Delivery.
South.

Congressman Underwood is leaving no stone unturned to secure for all parts of Jefferson County rural free delivery, and he will before the sum- mer is ended have the satisfaction of knowing that this great convenience has been brought to this populous county. The delay is solely one re- lating to the pressure for the service from all parts of the country.
 The extension and popularity of the service Is one of the marvels of the time. Less than ten years ago the Postoffice Department declared that it was not feasible, and for a number of years it was maintained here and there tentatively. But now its extension is only matter of appropriations and the capacity of the department to meet the demands for it. All want it, but all cannot get it at once. Congressman Underwood viii have the honor of first

and maximum crops. But if the crop should be carried by fine weather to twelve million bales, there would then be no reason to expect even seven-cent cotton if China could be opened to the trade of the world. China thus ranks
 with the weather as controlling fac
 tor in the making of prices for the new
 crop. The chances are that China will
 be opened and will want before the new crop is marketed vast quantity of goods, and that lne weather will>not be favorable enough to admit of the making of a twelve-million-bale crop. and that the efforts of the bears in an attempt to force the price below seven cents will prove fruitless. The. weather and China will determine the price, but there are now no reasons for expecting prices below seven cents.

securing it throughout a county in this State. The appropriations for the pres ent fiscal year have been exhausted, but those for the next fiscal year will be available July 1, when the system will be inaugurated in this county.
 The experimental period in this new branch of the postal service is passed. The system is acceptable, feasible and very valuable to the rural districts, and almost equally valuable to the towns that depend upon the country districts for trade. Congress appreciates its value. Last year the appropriation on account of it was $450,00o; this year it Is $1,750,000, and for the year be- ginning July 1t will be $3,500, 900. And even this sum will prove unequal to the demands of the. country. It is thought the next appropriation will be s7,0OO, ,000, or about half the cost of free delivery in the cities.
 Very few entire counties have been covered by the new system, and when Congressman Underwood succeeds in securing it in Jefferson County he will do what no other Southern Congress- man has done, or will soon be able to do. There are many counties in the South that should have it, but no county can secure it until it has first built good roads. Good roads are condition precedent. All should re- member this, and get ready to secure this great convenience in the postal service.

Street Car Transfers.

The Board of Aldermen in measure changes tonight. Several new men are to be sworn in and an equal number of old members retire.
 The old Board has accomplished much good for the city, having adopted a more liberal policy of improvements than has existed in the past several years, and it has taken decided steps towards regulating quasi-public enter prises.
 It has effected an agreement with the owners of the street railway sys- tenn of Birmingham by which transfers are to be given over it's entire system within the five-cent fare limits. This naturally means much to the people along the lines and to everyone. One may soon ride from South Highlands to East Lake or from Powderly to North Birmingham for one fiye,cent fare. And 1t will not be long before the fare will be five cents from any part of the Birmingham district to any other part of it.
 The street railroad people are pro- gressive, and they naturally will see the benefits to be derived from cheap fares. They are improving their tracks in every direction, have orders in for two score of new and modern cars and are to give Birmingham the most rapid and best street car service in all the South,

SENATOR VESTS PET ANEcDoTE,

From the St. Louis Republic.
 Senator Vests most famous anecdote is that of Miss Bertie Allendale. It was told when the two chambers were ar rayed against each other on the tarin of 1894 and the House was insisting that the country would go without any tariff act unless the Senate were prepared to forego It's own schedules and adopt those of the House.
 Tn my younger days out west" said MT. Vest. q went into variety theatre one night.
 Tt was one of those primitive shows where the stage manager comes before the footlights without coat and waist coat and with his shirt sleeves rolled up to the elbows, to announce the next number on the programme.
 Miss Bertie Allendale,' remarked the stage manager, appearing in one of the interludes, who has entranced two hem ispheres with her wonderful vocal pow CTS, will now render in her own inimit- able style, that exquisite vocal selection entitled Down in the Valley."'
 "A gentleman in a red flannel shirt rose in the midst of the audience and exclaimed in an impressive bass voice: oh, thunder Miss Allendale can't sing for green apples
 "The manager, who had started to leave the stage halted and turned. An ugly light flashed from the eye which swept the audience and finally rested on the face of the interrupter. Raising one shoulder higher than the other, letting one hand drift significantly toward his hip pocket, and thrusting his neither jaw forward in a savage way, he observed with a deliberateness which emphasized every syllable. Nevertheless and not withstanding, Miss Bertie Allendale will sing Down m the Valley
 And she did. So, likewise, neverthe- less and notwithstanding, the Senate schedules will stand"

From the New York World.
 Here are some of the strust proposi- tions, aphorisms and conclusions submit ted by Charles M. Schwab, president of the United States Steel Corporation, to the Industrial Commission:
 Brains are wanted, not money.
 "G-eat industrial combinations like the United States Steel Corporation doubtless decrease the chances of the iron and steel maker with a limited amount of capital to make his way, but they give to the men with brains the greatest opportunity this world has ever known.
 ''The great captains of industry are not looking for money There Is plenty of that What they want Is brains-spec- ialized brains; brains that are capable of taking hold and carrying out the plans for which they furnish the capital.
 'rhe man with exceptional ability is the man for whom everybody is seeking. His Is the opportunity now eventually to own and direct these great organizations.

The father was a noted officer of the Confederacy Private letters convey from Jacksonville the information that there is great deal of destitution amongst the homeless ones-"that hundreds of men haven't had a change of undergarments since the fire on May B."
 This information has moved Mrs. Coop CT to undertake the collection of neces- sities in clothing and otherwise. It is un- derstood that Louis Saks permits Mrs. Cooper to store her collections in the building, about to be demolished. at the rear of Saks' great store, in Nineteenth street. Mrs. Cooper hopes to get at least a carload for Jacksonville. Yester- day she was remarkably successful. She hopes for still better results today.
