port goo million bushels. The estin1- ated loss by reason of the drouth and hot winds Is now put at 25 per cent in the six great corn States, namely. Indiana. Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Ne braska and Iowa. The actual loss in these States is very great. They pro duced last year 1,27S,23S,O72 bushels of corn. A loss of 25 per cent in these States would mean a loss of 325 million bushels, worth perhaps on the farm SS0,0000O0. The cost of the drouth has been not less than this, even if the weather be hereafter very favor able. But this loss, heavy as it is, is offset by great wheat crops, and no farmer in the six States is an all-oorn farmer.
 Here in the South all know how i'm portant the corn crop is. It is both bread and meat. It may become a ne IO Iudll, anu u dll dnilAietlo IL is indispensable. Hogs and cattle are corn-fed, and so as a rule are all draught animals. It rises above wheat as an article of necessity, and de- ficiency in it cannot be supplied from other countries. Wheat can be i'm ported, but corn cannot be, for this is tho one great corn-growing country of the world. It is the one farm product that can be substituted for all others.
 This great crop has been saved by timely rains from serious loss, and the country has escaped great disaster. Alabama is not a great corn State, and yet the corn crop of the State is deeply important. The recent rains have res cued it from failure, and an average crop will doubtless be made. It was narrow escape from great disaster. For this we should be deeply thankful this day. The clouds did it, but be- hind those clouds is an Unseen Force that brings the early and the latter rains and that cares for man and beast the Good Father of all.

Suffrage and the Schools.

The Age-Herald has not picked flaws here and there in the work of the Con- stitutional Convention. The task in hand is difficult one, and it has pre- ferred to call attention to two matters alone. It has asked for better, instead of poorer schools, and it has asked for simple instead of complex suffrage scheme. Because it has been insistent and persistent in these two respects, it has incurred some censure.
 The Mobile Herald, for example, has said that The Age-Herald is endeavor ing to "drive" the convention. It is not a matter of driving or coaxing at all. It is a matter that pertains to TOO 1000 children, to their individual welfare and the States gain in good citizenship. It IS their right and the States interest that good schools be brought within the reach of every child in the State. There are those in the convention who will say the schools of Alabama are all that need be de- sired, but they are not. They are far from it. The convention proposes to cripple them and to forbid educational progress. This The Age-Herald has protested against, and will continue to protest against, and this, too, with no intention of driving" anybody or any. thing.
 And then the Roanoke Herald says we are theoretical in the matter oi suffrage. and that we offer nothing bet ter than the grandfather clause. The Age Herald advocates poll tax pro. vision fortified by good primary cleo ton law. What is good enough for

Mr. ToWne on Free Silver.

Ex-Senator Charles A. Towne has been in the past staunch friend of free silver, and no one has questioned or can question his sincerely in that connection; @but he sees what MT Bryan has at times seen, namely, the great changes in the supply of cur. rency. He sees now abundant money has become in the banks. He sees it going a-begging, and he recently said in New York to New York Sun re porter:
 "The free silver question Is absolutely dead in the West. It will not only not be an issue in 1904, but I do not believe it will be mentioned in the Democratic plat form or campaign. Our position on free silver in 1896 and 1900 was misunderstood. We were not demanding more market and profit for the silver mines, but more money for the country to keep up prices. God in His wise providence has provided vast increase in the supply of gold, and 1 today there Is more money in the country than there would have been if the gold supply had remained stationary and the hints had been opened to the free coin age of silver. So long as the present con- dition continues or the supply of gold continues to increase there can be no successful or serious demand for the free coinage of silver. Certainly, that de- mand cannot again be made an issue in a national campaign until there is big change in industrial or financial condi- tions."
 This opinion serves to make palmer the drift of political sentiment and action. It becomes plainer every day that the robber tariff and it's resultant trusts and millionaires and tramps will claim first place in 1904, and that a leader will be sought whom the people will trust when such an issue is raised. The trusts will be we'll entrenched in 1904, and the battle will be difficult and trying, but events are occurring that will open the eyes of the people to the dangers of plutocratism that confront them. lnere will be an army in Ohio and Pennsylvania and Indiana and Illinois soon that will understand the issue in all it's length and breadth, for they will feel the plutocrat's heavy and merciless hand.

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT MATTERS
 OF, STATE AND OF LOCAL INTEREST

The average reader can hardy realize that it costs nearly five hundred dollars to collect the news. set the type, print. and pay the other expenses necessary to this single day's issue of the Herald. Yet few people. who read newspaper, realize the expense attached to it's daily publication. They have no idea that 1t costs the owners of the Age-Heraid more than an hundred thousand dollars a year to collect and print and deliver the news to it's readers daily.
 
 The most remarkable proposition have heard of recently Is that of the Avondale cotton mill people.
 The controlling officers. of this cotton faetory-which Is exempted from taxa tion for a. period of years-actuaIly had the nerve to demand of the Jefferson County Board of Revenue that the houses, which 1t had built to rent to it's operatives .and from the rental of which it receives a monthly income. be exempted from taxation. I venture the assertion that the actual cash income from the rental of these houses exceeds ten per cent annually on their cost.
 John Smith and Bill Jones, who own and rent houses in the same neigflborhood must pay taxes on their property. Why exempt the men who own the houses in which the cotton factory operatives live? The Board of Revenue was eminently proper in it's action in refusing to ex- eupt the cotton factory operatives houses, and everyone hopes the board will hold fast to it's decision
 It Is wise to encourage the building of cotton factories in this State by exempt ing such property from taxation for a period of years, but men who invest their money in this wise and receive the bene- fits accorded them by the State. should not attempt to go farther and take ad- vantage of their neighbors who build houses to rent to machinists or carpenters or any other class of people. The men who build houses to rent to machinists or carpenters are as fully entitled to exemp- tion from taxation as are the men who build to rent to cotton mill operatives.
 Fair play and justice should prevail in all things. and 1t is manifest that the board of revenue is thoroughly in sym pathy with the rights of the people.

The constitutional convention concluded its fifty days of labor yesterday. Up to date 1t has done nothing-or practically nothing. It is, however. expending some thing like 5000 per day for salaries to del- egates and for clerk hire.
 Yesterday-its fiftieth day-it discussed the matter of free railroad passes, and one delegate to the convention introduced an ordinance providing that no corpora tion attorney should be eligible to mem bership in State Legislature.
 The constitutional convention might just as we'll adopt a clause in the pro- posed new constitution for Alabama that no farmer, or lawyer, or dry goods clerk. or miner. or newspaper reporter should be eligible for membership in the State Legislature.
 am more convinced than ever that the delegates to the constitutional convention need a rest. They need time for the storm, which has been creating waves in their mammoth brains. to calm. They are up- set. There are white-caps upon their men tai waves. Other men in the convention are just as much excited as former Gov ernor Jones appeared to be yesterday. No one can censure them for it The weather is hot. and in hot weather mon get mad. The safety valves of the mind must have opportunity of escape. Other members of the convention are just as much sur charged with explosive thought. due to exceeding hot weather, as was Governor Jones yesterday. Therefore I hold that the able members of the constitutional convention are entitled to a. temporary rest. They need time for calm and con- servative thought. They reflect no credit upon themselves by proceeding as they have recently.
 Men of business and of property in Ala bama are awaiting wise action on the part of the constitutional convention, They voted for delegates to go to this conveEi- ton who would remedy the existing sufr- rage evil in Alabama. They sent them there primarily to remedy this evil They expected little else of them. Instead of doing the work expected Of them, the delegates to the convention have con- stunned fifty days in scattering about pro- misciously. delving Into all manner of subjects, getting mad with one another and bringing up matters which rightly be- long to legislatures, created and pro- vided for by the constitution which this convention is supposed to promulgate to take the place of the existing instrument in Alabama.

Safety of the Corn Crop.

Abundant rains have fallen through out the corn belt, and all other belts. After three weeks or more of scorch. ing heat the air has been cooled and the parched earth moistened by the most gracious rains that Providence ever gave to man.

Suggestions for MT. Carneqie.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal asks Mir. Carnegie to establish great Southern university in Memphis. The practical ey-ironmaster does not seem to be much inclined towards the estab- lishment of classical schools in this country at least. He did give $10,000,- GOO to the Universities of Scotland, but that was birthplace gift, and may be considered exceptional.
 His gifts in this country indicate that he favors popular education through the founding of libraries, or technical education, such as the present school he has built and endowed in Pittsburg will furnish.
 It would per1aps be easier to induce him to establish a Southern school of a technical nature than it would be to induce him to enter into the scheme proposed by the Commercial-Appeal. A Southern university would be very helpful and desirable, but it is indeed doubtful whether it would promote the welfare of this section at present as much as a technical school would To- cated amid the cotton mills of the Car olinas. or amid the iron and the cotton mills of Alabama Charlotte or Bir- mingham would either be a good seat for a high-grade technical school. MT. Carnegie may have no desire to estab- fish Southern school of any kind, but the chances are that he would enter, tain a proposition looking to the estab lishment of technical school sooner than lie would to one that kept in view training intended for the few c,,Iv
