1T WILL NOT DO.

From the Thomasville Echo.
Let us have primaries Primaries
straight and conclusive and no convention
after There Is every guarantee now to
the people of the state by the constitution
that elections must be honest and the
people get the officers they select This
can be done If there are primary elections
conducted just as general elections are
managed with no meddIing afterward by
conventions or party leaders. These are
the great reasons why the affairs of
the state have reached their present de-
plorhble condition and why there is so
much political corruption.
One Mr. Mullins, who is a member of
the State executive committee. when ask
ed for his Views said: moi We must not
have State primary. 1t will never dol
The people may get who they want and
the people are not intelligent enough
to know what they want. 1t must be left
for the executive committee to decide and
then let the politicians who are intelligent
and who know exactly the needs, get to-
gether in convention and wire pull, I'M
til not a man whom the people want Is
nominated" This says Mister Mullins Is
the way to justly conduct the elections of
the State. No, 1t won't do to leave it

Round Bale Schemes.

The people of this section are not
particularly interested In the pro-
posed combine of yarn mills in the
two Carolinas that is In course Of or
ganization, but every Southern man
will be affected by the proposed COM
bination of the two leading cotton oil
companies with the round bale trust.
This combination is we'll progressed
and will be consummated beyond a
doubt. 1t has been brewing several
weeks, II not months. The American
Cotton Oil Company and the Virginia
Carolina Chemical Company, two COM
panies that control many oil mills and
fertilizer factories-are to be combined
with the round bale trust, and the
Planters Compress Company, which
makes the presses for the round bale
system.
The combine, in word, would con-
vert the chief oil mills and fertilizer
idCIOTlcS III the OOuIu W the iOuhu
bale process, leaving SO far as it can
the square-bale people out In the cold.
Such an alliance is not only a direct
attack upon the large interests con-
nected with the square bale, but 1t
is an effort to work the entire cotton
crop for unusual profits. The new
combine proposes to take new seed
cotton direct from the fields and carry
the products into ultimate commercial
forms, at least as far as the seed is
concerned. ssss3
If the scheme could be carried to
complete control of the crop the great
Southern product could indeed be
made to yield even greater than Stand
ard Oil ppohts, and the prospectus of
the new combine suggests just such
results. The squeezes would not per
haps follow at once, but the oppor
tunity to squeeze would be increased
with every advance step of the new
trust.

Farms of Alabama.

Bulletin No. 155 issued by the GEN.
sus bureau relates to the farms of this
State. They are in number 223,220,
valued at $134,618,1s3. The buildings
on these farms are valued at $34,452,-
612, so that the land of the farms in
this State is worth just about round
one hundred million dollars. These
farms produced In the census year
Sg1, 1887, 400, an increase of SO per cent
over the products of ten years before.
It should be remembered that a
farm" in the census tables means any
land held under one management. A
negro who rents for cash or shares
twenty acres is therefore a farmer,
and his land is a farm. This should
be kept In mind.
The number of farms In Alabama is
rapidly increasing. Before the war
there were but $4,000 in the State; In
1890 the number had risen to $4,000,
and now there are 223.0Oo. The aver

Shreveport, April 22.-The Southern
convention here today. Two sessions were
held, one in the morning and the other
In the afternoon. Both were executive
and were occupied with the discussion Of
a soap schedule to the exclusion Of every
other subject save the election of officers.
Nothing was made public about the
schedule, but it is understood a satisfac-
tory agreement was effected in the con-
vention. Officers were elected without op-
position as follows:
]. A. vanHoose, president, Birming-
ham, Ala.

port, La.
L. T. Webb, second vice president,

The convention was strictly business
meeting, very little time being given to
social pleasure. Tonight. however, a mag
nificent banquet was given in honor of
the visitors. First vice-President Ards
was the presiding host, and City Attorney
Randolph was toastmaster. Mr.. Ran
dolph's address was responded to by
President vanHoose. Other addresses
were: Commerce" Hon. William Fl.

AN OVATION TO PALMA.
People of Cuba Enthusiastic Over
Their First President.

New York, April 22.-When President
elect Palma arrived at Holguin, Cuba, the
demonstration in his honor excelled even
the welcome at Gibara, says a dispatch
from Holguin to the Tribune. Before leav-
ing the latter place, the President-elect
received a dispatch from Governor Cen
eral Wood extending to him his best
wishes. Other dispatches to the number
of 800 were received from all parts of the
country.
All along the route to Holguin General
Palma was the recipient of one great ova-
ton. Farmers displayed a flag and every
village had its quota of citizens at the
stations to greet the first President. His
car stopped at Cantimptora, where Cen

DISASTER IN GUATEMALA.
The Reports of Great Destruction BY
Earthquakes Confirmed.

New York, April 22.-Late dispatches
from Guatemala are to the effect that the
whole republic was shaken by earth
quakes from $50 o'clock on Friday up to
s o'clock Sunday, with short intervals be-
tween the shocks, says Panama dis
patch to the Herald.
The dispatches of Saturday concerning
the disaster in Quesaltenango are con-
firmed. 1t is estimated that 500 persons
were killed and millions of dollars worth
of property destroyed there. Fires which
followed the early shocks added to the
loss, and many heart-rending stories of
suffering are received. The whole country
is panic-stricken.
The towns of Patsum and Mazatenango,
the latter in the great coffee district,
were destroyed. The visitation was spec
tacular in character. The first shocks
were accompanied by terrific thunder
storms. The lightning was followed by
a deluge of rain. - re4. 49, -.

fallen from 346 acres before the war
20 80 acres in the census yesr. The
amount of improved land before the
war, or in 1860. exceeded six million
acres; it now stands at about eight
and half million acres. The increase
in improved land has not kept pace
with the number of farms.
The value of farm property in the
State is rising, but it is still below
the values in 1860. The total value
Of all farm property, including imple-
1aents and live stock, now stands at
S179, 100000; before the war the like
total exceeded two hundred and
twenty-six millions, but gain as
large as that of the decade just ended
will carry farm values back to ante
bellum figures. In other words, this
State in 1910 will have recovered
from the shock of war.
Dallas is the most productive county
in the State, followed closely by Mont
gomery. The other counties that pro-
duce more than two millions year
are Henry, Lowndes, Madison, Maren-
go, Pike and Wilcox. These are the
counties of highest productivity. The
farms of Montgomery are, however,
worth more money than those of any
other county, and Madison is a good
second, and Dallas a good third. Jack
son comes next. Dallas and Lowndes
each have over 1000 farms, far out
ranking in this respect all other coun-
ties. The average size Of Lowndes
County farm is but 4S acres.
In the decade just completed the
average value of farms was decreased
in Barbour, Blount, Clay, Dale, Hale,
Lawrence, Morgan and Wilcox. 1t was
increased in the other counties, For
the State the average value of farm
is $603. The decrease in value Is due
to the reduction in size. No county
shows an actual loss in values.
