At the meeting of the members of the
Birmingham Board of Trade Wholesale
Grocers, Association. at Birmingham,
numerous resolutions were passed.
among which was the following:
Resolved. That we rejoice that the fight
Is to be made upon facts, as the facts
will show that the people OF Georgia,
who have a railroad commission elected
by the people and under their pay, with
adequate laws to enforce its orders, pay
from 40 to 70 per cent less on shipments
Of local freight in that State than do the
people Of Alabama on similar freights In
this State, whose commission is appoint
ed by the Governor and paid by the rail-
roads, and who have not adequate laws
to regulate freight rates between the peo.
pie and the railroads.
There are some mistakes in the above.
The Railroad Commissioners in Georgia
are appointed by the Governor and con-
hrmed by the Senate, as is done in Ala
bama. They are paid in Georgia as in
Alabama a salary fixed by law, and just
as other officials are paid.

COTTON FOR CLOTHING.
Human Raiment Made Cheaper and
More General.

Washington Special to N. o. Times
Democrat.
The substitution of cotton for wool has
been one of the subjects which the Ag-
ricultural Department has investigated.
and 1t finds that this substitution has
been going on to very large extent over
all the world, and that 1t has made the
cost of clothing cheaper and greatly In
creased the amount of clothing manu-
featured and worn.
In a report on the subject, the Depart
ment estimates that OF the worlds popu-
lation of l,50o,00oooo, about SOC, 90, ooo
are partly clad, and $50. 100000 go naked,
so that to clothe the entire population, OF
the world 1t would require the production
of 100000 bales Of cotton OF 800 pounds
each. 1t therefore seems more than likely
that the cotton industry must continue
to expand until all the inhabitants OF
the earth are clothed with the products
of the looms. This Is not regarded as an
sidered that cotton Is the cheapest ma
terial for clothing known to man.
1t Is pointed out that formerly. max was
the chief material used for clothing. Then
wool took the first place, but now cot
ton takes the first place. and max, which
formerly had the first place, has now
the third. The amount of FAX now con-
summed is only double that of 100 years
creased nearly i've times, and cotton mas
increased nearly 80 times. There Is now
more than, three times as much cotton
used as wool, and more than seven times
as much cotton as flax. AS the result OF
improved machinery and methods OF
mixing cotton and wool. cotton IL being
substituted to a very large extent, par
ticularly In climates where heavy cloth
ing Is needed.
Every foreign country has increased It's
consumption of American cotton. But
the most astonishing development OF our
trade has occurred in the far East In
1870 we did not ship pound Of cotton
to this part of the world, but since then
cotton manufacturing has taken such
progress in Japan that in 1900 her spin
1ers took ,202 bales Of American cot
ton. East India and China are also be-
cotton. and within the past six years
shipments have been made to both these

Philadelphia is another city like Chica-
go where the briber and the bribed are
the curse of the courts. 1t will be re-
membered that in the latter city convic-
lions were recently had against the at
torneys and their tools who had been
tampering with the jurors. as well as
against the latter. who had been "fixed. >
as the expression goes. Speaking of these
convictions the Philadelphia Record
says:
Under the disability imposed upon the
District Attorney in this city in stand
ing aside unfit jurymen II is doubtful
whether jury fixers could be convicted;
but II it were possible to obtain such a
verdict and such punishment, particular
" upon scoundreily lawyers who. though
sworn officers of the court. openly con-
nive at the defeat Of justice. 1t would
be a contamination greatly to be de-
sired.
Under the Republican ring rule which
has so long been the curse Of Phiiadel-
phia the conditions touched on by The
Record are not at all surprising. That
the streams of Justice are rolled from
their fountain heads their mouths is the
natural result of their kind of politics.

Selma. Ala. July 80.
Editor The Advertiser:
Within the past thirty months, our
brethren of the Protestant Episcopal
Church Of Alabama have been subjected
the hand of death, of their three Bish-
ops, jackson, Wilmer and Barnweii; a
condition almost unprecedented In the
history OF any Diocese. The members OF
nobly 10 the extra calls made upon them
in consequence OF these Providences,
having practically provided memorials
for the two former mentioned, and now.
in the split Of Christian harmony and
brotherly love. !. from an outside stand
point. propose that we of the other de-
nominations of the State come forward
freely and spontaneously, in initiating. a
movement for a memorial for the Right
Reverend Robert Woodward Barnwell.
Wherever Bishop Barnwell was known,
whether among his own people or people
OF other congregations or of no religious
without fear and without reproach.' In
his home city the Jew and the Gentle,
the white and the black delighted to do
him honor.
The memorial which propose for Bish-
op Barnwell Is a home for his widow and
their seven children. the eldest barely
twenty-one. the youngest under five, and
1 suggest that all the people of Alabama
be allowed the privilege Of contributing
to this memorial fund, with the under
standing that should the fund amount to
more than enough to purchase such en-
humble home as will be in keeping with
their circumstances, the trustee selected
to have charge of this fund be author
ICED and instructed to use the residue in
and about the comfort, maintenance and
education of these loved ones who have
lost more than the church, however
great her loss may be.
In order that this suggestion may as
sumo something of tangible shape, I
am authorized to state that the City Ma
tional Bank of Selma, through it's off,
GERS has consented to act as temporary
trustee for this fund, and that have
been authorized TO draw for six hundred
dollars as a beginning.

How he Was Convinced.

Mobile Register.
A respectable old farmer up in Lee
County, who had been thoroughly con-
WINGED that the object OF the makers OF
the new Constitution was to disfranchise
the white Populists of the State and
fasten the Democratic machine in power
forever, was persuaded to visit the regis
try office just to see at sort of quail
fications he would have to possess in or
der to register. With much misgiving, he
approached the registrars and said: u
Just dropped in to find out what sort OF
questions you were going to put to a Pop
ulist-jlst to settle bet, you know"
Are !you a white MANI" asked the
registrar.
SAii right, old man. step up and be reg
istered," was the registrars reply.
The old man was registered. He went
back home and wrote letter to the
editor of the paper that had dinned into
him that the whites were to be disfran-
chised, and the letter said: Here's your
dollar! Don't you ever let rue see your
paper in my house again. I've got enough
OF advisers of your sort!"
And the conversion of that old man Is
but the sign OF the times. You can fool
the people part Of the time, but you can
not fool them all of the time.

Invention for Feeding Live Stock
Very Effectively.

Chicago Record-Herald.
BY an invention of John Hammer, a
Chicagoan, the whole practice of feeding
live stock. particularly cattle for beef, Is
likely to be revolutionized, according to
the claim of the inventor and those assoc
ciated with him. Incidentally. 1t IL said
that with the cost of fattening cattle cut
in two, the price of beef is likely to be
reduced permanently, despite alleged
combinations of packers to keep 1t at an
exorbitantly high figure.
The invention of Hammer, which Is now
in the hands of the American Grain
Growing Company of Chicago, consists
of a large case made of galvanized iron
and about three and half feet wide and
deep and five feet high. This case con-
tains a number of shallow drawers, In
which corn can be placed, in layers about
three inches deep.
All around the outside of the case, on
the top and four sides, Is a layer of COM
mon wood moss, such as grows In the
woods everywhere. This moss Is about
three inches thick and is compressed by
wire netting, so that 1t forms practically
a sponge, capable Of absorbing large
amount of water.
The corn is placed in the drawers and
water poured into the moss. Almost tm-
mediately process of sprouting begins
that in three or four days converts the
hard grain into mass OF tender young

It is unable to give a definite reply,
s''Various dates, from July to August

popular English caIenders put July az
the first one. while a popular American
calender makes them begin on July Is.
The old theory was that the dog days
began when Sirius. or the dog star and
the sun, rose at the same time, and as
this date varies at different times Of the

be certain day of the year for the dog
