one-crop idea. and also the demoraliza- tion of much of its labor element, creat- ing at the same time in other parts Of the country misapprehensions regarding the opportunities in Southern agricul- ture. Thus, starting under these adverse conditions, with disorganized labor system, with poverty almost beyond our ability to comprehend. and without any grafton which has poured into the far West many millions of farmers, the South has been able to more than hold it's own, both in industrial and agricul- tural advancement, with the growth of the United States. No higher tribute to the inherent strength of the south na- tural advantages and of the ability of it's people to master the most overwhelming g difficulties could be given. The world has no record of greater achievement
 One interesting phase of the conditions now prevailing is that in 1860 the value Of farm products exceeded the value of manufactured products in the South by more than $2O0 coo, while in 19oD the value of manufactured products eX- ceeded the value of farm products by more than $19J,C0J.0C0. During that same period the number of persons engaged in agriculture in the South increased 36 per cent. while the number Of wage earners
 in manufacturing increased 157 per cent, both rates of increase in the South be- ing greater than the rates in the country at large. In this industrial upbuiding the South is to find full fruition of its agricul- tural potentialties. The development or manufactures, creating quick, steady remunerative markets for the diversified products of agriculture, will give to the farmers of the South advantages they have never before possessed.
 The natural advantages of this section for agriculture find a prominent illustra- tion in the fact that the value of it's farm products. after deducting the value of those fed to livestock, during the cen- sus years was 27.5 per cent upon the value of it's farm property or fixed capi- tai, while the highest percentage in the States east of the Ohio and north of Mason and Dixon's line was 22.3 per cent in Maine, the highest in the Middle West 201 per cent in North Dakota, and the highest in the far West 2l.S per cent in Idaho, while the percentage for the whole country is a little more than IS per cent.

THE CRECoNARDI TRIAL
Italian Population Disappointed at
 Continuance of Case.

The preliminary hearing of Salvatore Creconardi charged with a criminal as sault by A. D. Fabritis, drew nearly every Italian citizen of Montgomery to the court of Justice B. H. Screws yester- day afternoon at o'clock. The entire fruit stand population was there. but the case was continued until Tuesday at 2 o'clock.
 The Italians appeared to be disappoint- ed when Justice Screws announced d con tfnuance on account of the attorneys not having their evidence in hand
 Creconardi alleges that he is the victim of a malicious prosecution. He says Fa- hritis wishes to get him out of the way in order to avoid paying $G0 which he is said to be due Crcconardi for wages
 After his arrest, Creconardi wrote his brother, living in Opelika, to come to Montgomery. The brother did so, and Creconardi was released on a $500 bond.
 The brother of Creconardi had been em- ployed by Fabritis at a branch fruit stand in Opelika.
 Soon after Salvatore Creconardi was released, the bother met Fabritis and some hot Italian words were passed. The next day Fabritis was arrested on war rant sworn out by the Opelika Greco nardi. Specifically, the Opelika Greco nardi alleges that Fabrltis called him a thief.
 great number of Montgomery Itsl- ians heard the words passed between the Opelika Creconar6i and Fabritis and they were summoned to testify as to the Eng fish equivalent of the conversation.

DOCK WINGARD FREED HELPLESSNESS OF FAMILY
 SECURES PAROLE FOR HIM.
Governor Jelks Extends Clemency to Young Man of Pike County, Whose Wife and Baby
 are Destitute.

The helpless condition of the young wife and child of Dock Wingard, a convict of Pike County, caused Governor Jelks yes- terday to order his release from prison conditioned on his future good behavior.
 Wingard was convicted in the Criminal Court of Pike County of assault and bat tery and sentenced to pay a fine of one cent and costs. The costs were more than he could pay and he had to go to prison
 The most eloquent appeal for Wingard' s release came from his young wife, who, with her baby. was left in destitute con- diuon when he was sent to prison. His parole was recommended by Judge Boron of the Criminal Court and Solicitor Brad ley who was the prosecuting officer.
 In granting a parole Governor Jelks made the following endorsements:
 This is a young man under 20 years of age. His girl wife and baby are left in a pitiabe condition by his incarcera- tion. In view of the fact that he has worked about thirty days on the public roads and in view of the condition of his wife and child 1t is considered. upon the recommendations of the Judge and the Solicitor, that a parole issue con- ditional upon his good behavior"

REV. E. G. MURPHY
Will Devote Himself to Duties of His
 Present Position.

Brooklyn Eagle.
 Several Manhattan papers refer to 'The Rev. Clarence A. Murphy of 'dontgom-
 cry, Ala" some papers to say and some
 papers to deny that he is to he called to succeed the Rev. Dr. s. D. Mcconnell as
 rector of Holy Trinity Church in Brook lyn. There is no Rev. Clarence A.
 Murphy of Montgomery, Ala.," or any where else, in the Episcopal Church In
 the United States.
 Reference3is probably meant to the Rev.
 Edgar Gardner Murphy of Montgomery,
 who is connected with the Southern Edu- cational Board and Is chairman of the Executive Committee on Child Labor in Alabama. He is an Episcopal clergy
 man of earnestness and eloqaence, and
 he will fill the pulpit of Holy Trinity here
 during the month of September. He will not only not be candidate" for the rectorship of the church, but he could not accept it, if 1t were offered to him, and he would not consent to preach In
 that church at all, in advance, could he by any possibility be regarded for the rectorship.
 The reporters of religious events for | The Eagle know enough to know that ''candidating' for vacant pastorates In any considerable church no longer occurs
  generation ago. The reports Of religious events for other newspapers, notably Manhattan morning papers, do not seem to know enough to know that. Their
 ignorance is mortifying to the clerical
 profession and to journalism, confusing
 to vestries and cause of mingled comedy
 and regret to intelligent readers.
 The Rev. Edgar Gardner Murphy can not be too soon acquitted by newspapers and by the public of any design toward Holy Trinity Church, except the one to
 oblige it's vestry and congregation by preaching for them during September | After that, he will be followed by Bishop | Garrett of Texas, and Bishop Sessums of Louisiana. Probably by the time Mr. | Murphy and these two prelates have | filled their engagements here, an an- | nouncement, with reference to the rector ship of Holy Trinity. will be made by the yestry which will be very satisfactory to l the congregation and to the entire rell-
 gious public here The standard of abili- ty for that pulpit should be surely main- | tained. by the selection which will be an- nounced in due time.

 Trouble is said to have been brewing between the negro preachers some time. The climax came few days ago when, according to Wright, Milton threatened to kill him. Not desiring to die in a worldly encounter and at the same time wishing to keep his fellow preacher from violating the decalogue, a warrant was sworn out against Milton.
 Yesterday in the court of Justice w C. Fuller Milton pleaded guilty to having threatened the life of Wright and he was placed under a $50 bond to keep Milton was lodged in the County jail.
