He can, if he chooses, and he does,
as a matter of fact, furnish a great
deal of space rent free. But it
does not follow that he ought to be
expected to do so if it be recognize
ed as a contribution, exactly as
would be the giving away of coffee
or sugar by a grocer. But strange
to say, it is not looked upon in
that light at all; and yet everybody
knows that the existence of a news

its space and the sale of the paper,

Lack of Coke Ovens.

The Sloss-Sheffield Company has clos in Virginia for $125,OO0 worth of coke to be delivered in thls district this year. coke ovens in this district. When The Age-Herald said about year ago that there should be 10000 ovens in this district, the statement was hooted at as exggeration. There are now about 1000 ovens in the district, and we say again that 5000 more are needed. One thousand will be built this year, but this number will not supply he demand. The Sloss-Sheffield has an abundance of coking coal but it has not enough ovens by at least one thousand.
 There has been coke famine in Ala bama ever since the early days of 1899, and today coke from Kentucky, Tennes- see and Virginia is brought into this district This will continue to De the case until we have 10000 ovens in oper- ation. There are twice that number at Connellsville alone, and surely Alabama can place the products of 10000 ovens. We repeat it, let us have as speedily as possible that number, for every one of them can be kept busy, anu profitaby busy at that.

L. 6 N. Train 25 Miles Long.

"The Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company is now moving two thousand car loads of rock phosphate from Mt. Pleasant Tenn, to Pensacola, all one consignment and all over it's own lines direct for ship ment to Cuba" said an engineer last night. This is perhaps the largest single ship ment of any commodity in the long record of southern railroads. and the magnitude of the Louisville and Nashville company's undertaking may be realized in part when it is known that the companys contract calls for the delivery at Pensacola of about two hundred cars of phosphate day. That means in fact twelve solid trains of sev- enteen cars each going into Pensacola every day ladened with phosphate alone, and 1t means that amount of traffic extraordinary, over and above the otherwise steadily and constantly increasing average of this rail- roads enormous system.
 "To state it more graphically, this extra ordinary shipment of phosphate requires rolling stock the same as solid freight train two miles and a half long running from Mt. Pleasant through Birmingham and on to Pensacola every day for ten days, or one freight train twenty-five miles long passing through Birmingham within that period and being unloaded into ships in Pensacola harbori
 Thus you see that the Louisville and Nashville is at this moment carrying out an enormous undertaking in freight traffic. and the road is at the same time handling far and away the biggest general freight business it ever handled During my nine- teen years with the company I never ex- perienced any rush at all nearly approach ing the tremendous activity of the present timel'

ETHICS OF A WHEAT CORNER.

From the Minneapolis Tribune.
 The Letter wheat corner is an old story, but the subject was revived by MT. Letter himself in an interview in the Butte (Mont) Miner a few days ago. The young man was out there looking after his mining in terests, and the reporter approached him with the query: "Mr. Letter, is it possible to corner wheat?" To this he replied that 'it was possible if you own all the surplus wheat in the world and control the next crop that is coming on''-a remark which indicates that in his opinion successful corner of the cereal is a very difficult un- dertaking.
 He went on to say that during his cor nering operation he at one time owned two- thirds of all the wheat in America and ev- cry bushel that there was in England. Dur ing that time he shipped over 30,O00, ,000 bushels from this country When man tries to corner a product like wheat" he continued, ..he will find that he has to run up against propositions that he had not originally figured upon. For instance, when I got wheat up to $1.75 a bushel I found there was a great decrease in the demand. The people in this and other countries turned to corn meal, and those of certain European countries to rye and other cere- als" He thinks he might have succeeded if some who were associate with him had not become alarmed and backed out of the undertaking-'b that" he added, "is an- other story" He says that once, in July, he could have let go and cleared SIC, ,O00, GOO, but that seemed too small an operation to him at the time. He philosophcally con cudes that it was probably good thing that his cornering scheme did not succeed, for it would have ruined him as a business man. He would have settled down to be a mere speculator, and he would not have engaged in enterprises, as he is doing now, which give employment to labor and add to the aggregate wealth. It would not have benefited humanity; it was purely selfish project

mill, within sight and control, the ex- pertinent would have resulted other wise than it did The mill owned no cottages, and the employees lived in every part of the city, and were sub- jeeted to a wide variety of influences. Under such circumstances the mill was often very short of hands, and under similar circumstances any mill would be.
 If negro labor is ever used in cotton mills, it must be in small mill towns, and the mill must own the cottages that the mill hands live In. In a mill village negro labor may be possible. The Boston Herald scarcely understands the situation, and yet in a general way it reaches a correct conclusion when it says:
 There are negroes and negroes. There are negroes demoraized by life in slave ", or inheriting the defects of those of the race in this relation from whom they have descended; there are other negroes who have had the benfit of later instruction and examples, and who have profted by them. Because those among the eolored people of the South who have been taken indiscrimnately for employment have not in the majority of instances proved trust worthy, it does not to our mind, prove the condemnation of all their brethren in com mon with themselves. There are negroes outside these who are willing to pursue steady course of industry. What is needed is a selection of colored labor, and until this is made and given a fair trial there should be no adverse verdict accepted in the case
