New Duties on Cottons in China.

The southern cotton mills are deep lv interested in the settlement of the tariff question in China, for they sell there fully 1OO,OOOOOO yards of cotton stuffs year, and this amount may be greatly extended This is why T. W. Sharretts, tariff expert, was sent to Shanghai, where the new treaty was negotiated.
 The terms of the new treaty are not known, but it is known that England and the United Sattes have not been pulling together. The cotton goods of the United States are sold near the coast Ninety per cent of them are sold in the coastal provinces, whereas English goods are sold in nearly every province. no matter how remote. Eng land therefore desires an abolition of the likin tax which is collected at the boundary of each province. She pre- fers a higher sur or port-of-entry tax. The United States desires a low sur tax, and the maintenance of the inter- nal tax. The American compromise calls for a reasonable port duty and the addition of a customs rate of about one-half at the first province entered to be divided among all the other provinces that the particular lot of goods would pass through. If this has been accepted, American cot tons would not be severely taxed.
 The question is one that concerns this section of the country deeply, fol upon the Chinese trade turns the pro fits of many southern mills, and there fore the building of new mills. It i not believed treaty can be ratified that places undue restrictions upol the cotton milling industry of thi country, and much interest is takel

From the New York Evening Post.
 James Gayley, who Is mentioned" as a possible successor of President Schwab In the United States Steel corporation received the position of first vice presi- dent of that corporation by reason of his services to the Carnegie company. He has had full charge of the ore mines, rail- roads, steamships, and docks. He has been scientific metallurgist for a quar- ter of a century, and to his expertness in this line his prominence Is due. He completed his early studies at West Not tingham academy, in Maryland and later entered Lafayette college, where he grad uated.

How 1t Works.

There has been more real hustling In the campaign just closed than any ever before made in Alabama" said a lawyer last night.
 '@rhe change from the old convention to the primary plan of making nominal tions for state officers has made the boys get out among the people, instead of jug gling with the politicians as fin former campaigns. It used to be the custom for candidates for governor to canvass the state. while candidates for subordinate positions merely went down to Mont gomery and traded themselves into office The fellow with the best trading strength was the usual winner.
 Think now differe ent 1t is this year. The next state ticket will be personally the best known ever nominated. All of the candidates have been working and many of them have been speaking to large audiences. Possibly no other per- son has made ss many speeches in the campaign as has Tom Heflin, who is a candidate for secretary of state, but who is also espousing the cause of Governor Jelks Hefin loves to speak, and he has the perfect right for he Is one of the best stump entertainers in Alabama. When he fails to interest his audience with one style he resorts to another. One moment he will paint beautiful picture, and the next tell, in characteristic style story on Aunt Dina and Uncle Ephiriham. He also makes a hit with his campaign songs.
 "Then there are Jim Tanner and Frank Julian. also candidates for secretary of state, who have made thorough can vases and won scores of friends
 Tn the race for attorney general Alex Garber of Talladega and Massey Wilson l.of Clarke, have been the most active, and the loyal democrats of the younger school have created favorable impress sions.
 Candidates for other positions have been equally active, and I am glad to see it. The people have a right to see and know their state officials"

Indecent Language.

#'I hear more profanity and indecent language in general among the young men of today than did few years ago, said a physician. Bad language Is cer- tainly on the increase and it comes in great measure from a lack of oversight on the part of parents. The sons of God-fearing and refined parents frequent ly turn out to be foul-mouthed. And a young man who becomes addicted to blss- phemous and unclean speech finds reform difficult. The way to break up or mini mize the evil habit Is for parents and teachers to impress upon young boys the iniquity of bad language"

St. Hernard's.

St. Bernard's college near Cullman, which begins its next session September 3. will probably be better attended this year than ever. It is very popular in- stitution and the training there Is not only of very practical sort, so far as academic education goes, but 1t is sim gularly beneficial in & moral way. Good manners and good habits are insisted on and every student who comes away from St. Bernard's Is almost certain to be a model of responsibility.
 The catalogue of the college for 1902 1903 Is well illustrated, not the least in- teresting picture being the baseball team. with the kindly face of Father Charles in the background.

IN HOTEL LoBBIES.
Campaign Lies.

while less wrath has been developed In this campaing than usual. have heard more Hes than ever before" said an old democrat
 .'The untruths uttered. however, were not especially wicked as they related chiefly to the number of people compos- ing Jelks or a Johnston audience, as the case happened to be. If a Jelks ora tor addressed meeting of 1000 the John- stonites reported that only 25o men, by actual count. were present, and if former Goveronr Johnston spoke to 1000 people the Jelksites were ready to swear to 200. and no more. But such is politics. It is next to impossible to keep from exagger- alton. but never thought it right to tell whoppers."

Head of States Public Schools.

Many voters today will be puzzled to know whom to vote for as nominee of the democratic party for superintendent of education" said a Birmingham friend of Chappell Cory.
 There are four aspirants, and Chap pell Cory is one of the four. Jefferson county knows him well and favorably. He Is deeply rooted in public education. Be believes 1t is the basis of all that is good in our national life.
 ''He will work untiringly for the schools whether he be elected or not, for he has long been devoted to them. Further than this, Mir. Cory Is in favor of reducing to a minimum the cost of school books. favoring as he does text book state law. He is not a candidate of the book trust. If anybody owns him, it is the children of the state. three of whom are his own"

THE DAFFoDILS.
: William Wordsworth.

By William wordsworth. I wandered lonely as a cloud
 That floats on high OCT wales and hills When all at once I saw crowd,
 A host of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine
 And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line
 Along the margin of a bay; Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced, but they
 Outdid the sparkling waves in glee; A poet could not but be gay
 In such a jocund company. I gazed, and gazed, but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought. For oft when on my couch lie,
 In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye
 Which is the bliss of solitude; And thUn my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodilsl

Judge Gear Saturday denied issuance
Of writ of habeas corpus in the case
of Domingis Ferreira who was once re-
leased by the second judge. He held
that there was a material default in
the commitment as claimed by Mr..
Douthitt, saying that if the mittimus
had ordered the high sheriff to convey
the defendant to the prison and then
to keep him in custody, it would have
been sufficient. This not being the
case there was a material default in
the commitment and the petitioner
could not be discharged because he was
rearrested after the first release on ha-
beas corpus.
Brooks gave notice of appeal to the
Supreme Court, and Ferreira was re-
leased on bail. The refusal of the At
