WEATHER IN NOVEMBER
PAST MONTH BROUGHT FIX TREMELY MILD ITEM
 PERATURES.
0nly in Its Last Few Days Was Weather Severe Enough to Re- tard Crops-Interesting Com
 parative Statement.

The month of November, 1902 in Ala bama goes down in meteorological his tory as one of the mildest, if not the Uildest on record.
 Almost summer-like temperatures pre- vailed during the greater portion of the month. and at no time, up to the 27th was the temperature in this section low snough to retard growth of field crops.
 On the 2Sth the lowest temperature of he fall, 30 degrees, or two degrees below Freezing, occurred in Montgomery This was accompanied with the first killing Frost of the autumn.
 The fact that the average date of kill Ing frost at this place for the past thirty one years is November 8th, and that this year its occurrence was twenty days later than the average, gives a fair idea of the relative lateness of this fall. Only once in the thirty-one-year record has the first killing frost here been late as this year, viz: in 1889. when it occurred on November 18th.
 The following comparative statement of the monthly mean temperature at this place for each November of the past lhirty-one years. as taken from the Weather Bureau records is interesting s72.4S; 1873, 54; 1874. 5S; 1s75 59; 1876, 52; 877 54; 1878. 56; 1879, 5S; 1880, 51; 1881, 56; IsS2 54; 1883. 5s; 1884, 54; 1885, 54; 1886, 4; lSs7 5s; 1888. 55; 1Ss9 55; 1890. 60; jss1. 54; 1892, 55; 1893. 56; 1894, 55; 1895, 56; sS6, 5S; 1897, 5s; 1898, 53; 1899, 5s; 1900 5S; RM, B; 1902. 60.
 In fact this has been a year of rather remarkable weather features In this legion. The late winter and early spring months were wet and unfavorable for pre- Daring ground for the staple crops, much owland being submerged by the floods of February and March. This was followed by one of the most protracted droughts n the history of the State. In many portions practically no rain fell from the middle of April to the middle of August.
 These conditions were very unfavorable b cotton. giving the Highest yield that Alabama has made in many years. Still he yield was somewhat augmented by the favorable conditions which prevailed turing October and November. which hatured a fairly good ''second growth" in hany of the middle counties. though some If the best cotton growing counties made decidedly light yields.

WORK ON TRUSTS.
Littlefield's Publicity Bill Receiv-
 ing Close Attention.

Washington, Dec. 3-The sub-commit- tee of the House Judiciary Committee. consisting of Representative Littleaeld (Me.), Thomas Ua.), and Clayton( Ala). to which was referred the antitrust bills, met today and devoted several hours to the consideration of these measures. One of the bills before the Committee pro poses an amendment to the Sherman antitrust law and another provides for publicity.
 Considerable attention was devoted to consideration of the latter. This bill re- quires all interpretations engaged in In- terstate Commerce to file returns with government authorities disclosing their true financial condition and of their cap- ital stock, and imposes tax upon such as having outstanding capital stock un- paid in whole or in part. The bill was introduced by MT. Littlefield at the last session.

An Incident Showing that Horses are
 Not Indifferent to Adornment. Casselrs Journal.
 Horses are not indifferent to adornment They acquire a knowledge of the times and seasons when they should be tricked out with fnery, and, as the following story shows, they will on occasion posi- lively rebel If the little niceties of dress to which they have been accustomed are by any chance neglected.
 All was hustle in the barracks; the in specting officer of the district had made a surprise visit but at last the regiment was ready in the barrack yard with its old sergeant major on his old horse (both having been in the regiment be- yond memory) to lead.
 The word was given. but the old horse would not stir. His master with grief spurred him. men rushed from the sta bles and pulled and pushed him, the col onel rode up using profane language enough to move any horse. but ineffectu- geant major heard the row, snatched something from peg and rushed out. ? The old horse had his eye on her quar- ters, saw her coming, freed himself from his prosecutors, advanced meekly to her. held down his head, and she fast ened the article around his ears with a graceful curl on the forehead. It had been made out of his tail when he be- came bald, and he always wore it on state occasions, although forgotten this time in the hurry: but he was not the horse to go without 1t.

SORE NECK

Take Scott's Emulsion for scrofula. Children often have sores on the neck that won't heal up. The sores may come and go. Parents may not know what's the matter nor what to do. Scrofula is the trouble and Scott's Emul- sion is the medicine.
 Scott's Emulsion heals the sores. But that is not all. Scrofula leads to consump- ton. This is the real danger.
 Scott's Emulsion is the ounce of prevention that keeps off consumption.

ASSUMES HEATED PHASE.
Controversy Over Crop Statistics Be-
 coming Lively.

Washington Special to New Orleans
 Democrat
 To say that the controversy over crop statistics is now assuming a most heated character in Washington would be to eX- press matters very mildly. Ever since the publication of the report of theBoards of Trade committee a week ago, the parties to the controversy have been actively engaged in giving their versions of the status of affairs. and the result Is that facts not previously known have been brought to light. while certain aspects of the situation have taken on new and exceptionally unpleasant appearance.
 What the outcome will be can not cer- tainly be known, although there Is a gen. eral demand for a thorough investigation which which will clear up not only the statistical divergences which the investi- gating committee came to Washington to look Into. but will also clear up the facts concerning the action of that committee itself at the earliest possible moment. The census authorities will doubtless in- sist on such an investigation.
 Proper results could only be obtained bv a committe vested with authority to ,all for persons and papers and lay bare the precise methods by which the recent report was prepared.

KINGS HEAD NOT A SALAD.
Edward VII. Objects to Some of the Iime.Hon.
 ored Coronation Ceremonials.

King Edward shows stiff'necked perverse disposition toward many Of the time honored coronation ceremo- nialS that promises i'll for the general accuracy of the performance, accord ing to historic precedent, In the first place, he has refused to permit & young woman to scatter herbs in his pathway as he proceeds toward the throne; no pennyroyal. or tansy or some wort or other for hlm. Early juvenile encounters with some of these, decocted in all kindness and ad- ministered with spirited resolution, may account for this. For even roy al households do not scOrn homely remedies. The very odOr might stir memories irreconcilable with an oc- oasiop intended to be joyous. Nor will the king allow his arms to be sup. ported as JoshuaS were, though not for any such length of time, preierring to have the use of those members for rubbing his eye LOT reaching for his pocket handkerchief He seems to have a modern democratic objection to some of the coronation etiquette of the past that argues partial deficiency in a taste for the picturesque but mo t of all does he exhibit an aversion tuthe amounting of his royal head with oil. Oll on the hair of the en- frightened human race has long since passed out of use even the hair itself is falling into deSuetude in many cases, and the kings capillary thatch is more conspicuous in'itS absence than otherwise. To pour upon his bald cranium an oleaginouS tablespoonful without any guarantee ur. even an ap- proximately accurate idea of what course its current may take no doubt inspires the kings decision. Who would be crowned king with all the banners waving and trumpets sound ing, with a glObule of oil and balsom in the right eye or dripping in unctu. ous tcsrs from the tip of the royal nose Or should it take tortuuus route back of the ear and down the neck, downward, still downward in its titilIatiug and distracting grayta. ton, who could answer for the king remembering the archaic English he must enunciate or listen tol Uneasy lies the head that wears crown, but uneasier still the one that wears a pool of ointment. There are some English customs that must give way even though the throne itself tOtter.- Globe Democrat,
