No Cron Like Corn.

May corn is selling in Chicago be- low 40 cents, and thls means that killing frost, now nearly due, cannot rc4uce the crop below 2000 million bushels. If frosts are postponed to October the out turn may go as high as 2600 million bushels, or nearly 400 million bushels more than was ever grown in any country in a single year.
 This country grows just about four fifths of the corn crop of the world. Between corn and cotton seed products Uncle Sam has almost as much meat producing or fattening material as all the rest of the world put together, and yet meat prices here are extor- tionately high, and are controlled by one concern. The crop was originated in this country, and it's true habitat is the Mississippi valley. The four great corn states are in orde. Illinois, Iowa. Kansas and Nebraska, and any one of them is good for surplus of 200 million bushels. There is a growing demand for this fine cereal in Euro pean countries, and probably about 300 million bushels will be exported this year.
 But the chief value of the crop con- sists in its meat producing qualities. It means more cattle and hogs, and these in turn mean cheaper steaks and bacon and other meat products. It means, too, a vast volume of business on the railorads. It in word means diffused prosperity that no untoward events can seriously affect. The coun-

Piu Iron ln Auqust.

A short fuel supply in Pennsylvania kept the weekly capacity on septem- Der l down to S35,1 tons, as com pared with SS6,465 tons on August 9. The production is stationary, and 1t will be apt to stay in that condition until coke and anthracite are obtain able in larger quantities. The monthly production does not now exceed 1,50O,- 900 tons, but it would readily rise to 1,600,000 tons if more fuel were in sight. The deficiency will be made good in imports of foreign foundry iron.
 Production in the south is well main tained. This district had on Septem- Der II. thirty coke and three charcoal stacks in blast, producing each week 2S.920 tons. The production of this district in the first eight months of the year was 797,569 tons of iron from coke furnaces. To this amount should be added about 45,000 tons on account of the charcoal furnaces, making the total in the first eight months of the year S42,569 tons. This would bo at the rate of 1,263,s5S tons for the full year. The latter half of the year Is, however, tho better half, and the pro duetion of this district in the calendar year will exceed 100000 tons, thus creating a new record.
 The production of this district in 1903 promises to be carried to 1,5O0,- 900 tons.

Electoral Reform Next Winter.

Instead of searching for a candidate to serve as speaker, it would be much more in accordance with public senti- ment in this state at present to look for a man who can and will prepare a satisfactory and stringent primary bill and election law. A bill is wanted that a coach and four cannot be driven through. The present laws of the state touching elections were never intended to prevent fraudulent practices. They were passed by wiz ards for wizards, and it will devolve upon the next legislature to replace them with measures alike sound and efficient.
 The ambitious man in the next legis- lature should study the statutes of other states, and he should above all else study the electoral needs of Ala bama. Safeguards are needed here of the most stringent sort. Penalties should not consist of fines alone, but every section of the new acts should point to the penitentiary. If there is one thing upon which all good citizens are agreed in this state, 1t is that here after elections must be honest. This is what the new constitution stands for, and this is what the next legisla- ture should provide for in the most helpful manner Not only should 1t provide for honest primaries, but 1t should pass a law that will be a guar antee of honest voting and honest counting as between the different par ties of the country.
 The legislator who can prepare an acceptable bill will no doubt be able to attach his name to it, and to secure a favorable place in the political history of the state. No more important legis- lation will come up in the coming ses- sion. No act will command more at- tention. None will affect the state more deeply or broadly. We commend the work to tho best minds in the new legislature, in the hope that measures will bo devised which will restore con fidence at the ballot box

Renarkah,e colnoldence.

An advertisement which appears in The Age-Heraid today for the purpose of To- eating Henry M. Aaron, has an interest ing side which brought to light re- marl1ablo coincidence. R. M. Cameron, who has recently located in Birmingham with his family started out with his wife to look for Mrs. Camerons uncle, Henry M. Aaron, who has been living here abouts for ten or twelve years. They failed to find the name in the city drec- tory, but did find the name of T. D. Aaron, whose place of residence was giv- en as Avondale. Now T. D. Aaron was the name of another uncle, who was sup posed to have been dead for many years The Camerons decided to look him up and see if he happened to know Henry Aaron.
 Upon arriving at the residence in Avon dale they met Mrs. T. D. Aaron, whose husband had died last Februaury. After a short conversation with the widow Mrs. Cameron learned by certain marks of Identification which were described, notably a missing finger, that the wo- Hldn nusbanu was Ter uhcie MhoHh ShS supposed had been dead q long while.
 Mrs. Aaron knew nothing of Henry Aaron and said that her husband did not know that he had ever lived here. The Aarons were from Athens, Ga, and the Camerons regarded it as a remarkable coincidence that the two brothers had lived in the same place for all these years without having known of each others location.

CONTROL OF NEXT CONGRESS.

From the Boston Herald Qnd).
 Two very different estimates of the character of the next congress in the house of representatives portion of it are furnished simultaneously. The one gives that body to the democrats, and bases it's opinion upon personal investi- gation and the views of experienced polit- ica1 observers. The other confidently claims that the republicans are to carry 1t, and reaches its conclusion from simi- lar premises. Of course, these views are those expressed by representatives of the two political parties respectively. Neith- CT of them may be so open to the charge of bluffing some observers may sus- pect. It strikes us as fair to anticipate some democratic gains in the elections this year; indeed. we understand the republicans to .concede as much. The coming into possession of particulars as regards them may have raised hopes in democratic quarters. On the other hand, the Washington correspondent of the Boston Transcript presents the substan- tial grounds on which the republicans rely for the saving of the house to them They rest first on the preponderance

GOOD FOR ROOSEVELT.

From the Nashville American.
 The Presidents removal of District-At- torney Vaughan for neglect of public duty should be heartily endorsed by re publicans and democrats in Alabama, and will no doubt be so indorsed save by Mr. Vaughan's immediate political following.
 Mir. Vaughan was busily engaged in building up a machine for himself and associates, and, it is claimed, was pay ing no attention whatever to the duties of his office.
 It is this abuse of public office by pro- fessional officeholders which has brought politics into disrepute. The abuse is so general that in many instances when a man gets office it is supposed by the pulp lie that pernicious political activity will engage his energies while the duties of the office the taxpayers handsomely com :. pensate him to perform are discharged by a clerk.
 In this particular line of calling delin- quents to time we need Roosevelts at the head of state. county and municipal Sov- ernments all over the country.

Violin Pupils.

Every girl and many boys who have a musical turn take music lessons, but can remember when the piano was the only instrument on which girls learned to play, violin performance not having been regarded as part of a young lady's education." said an old music lover.
 Ut Is different today. Young women violinists are almost as numerous now as pianists. In most towns where good violin teachers are found dozens of girls may be seen on the street carrying violin boxes.
 "The violin fashion did not get start in Birmingham until a year or two ago. One teacher told me recently that he had a large number of girl pupils this sea- son, and the number will increase from year to year. The violin is more diff cult instrument than the plano, but child that is really musical will make good headway on 1t. In a family of two girls and one boy. one girl should learn to play the piano and one the violin, while the boy should learn to perform on the violoncello. With such combination there would be no end of fine chamber music"

Baseball in the Snuih.

The closing games of the season will soon be played, and the Birming ham team stands at the foot of the percentage ladder This was due to a mistake made at the outset in the selection of O manager, followed, of course, by general Reorganization of the entire team. It was then too late to regain lost ground, because every player of known skill and merit in the country had been signed. The man agement has been sevrely blamed, but barring the early and wholly natural mistake at the beginning, it did all that any lot Of men In their shoes would or could have done to reorgan- ize the team. They strove bravely and perseveringly, but the time of the season was against them, and it was only in the last round of games that a creditable team was gotten. The last shouts at West End Park were shouts of victory. This leaves a good taste in the rooter's mouth. although it does not change Birmingham's po- sition in the percentage column.
 When you think of it the team in the closing games lacked but three men to rFke it invincible in the Southern League. Add to it right fielder. a left fielder. and above all else short stop, each to have a bat ting record well up towards 300, and no team in the south could have faced it successfully. All in all the team deserves kindly remembrance.
 There is to be fast playing in the south next year. Next below the two chief leagues of the large northern cities, the Southern League is consid- cred the best. In the coming season stiIl better ball will be played in this section, and the Age-Herald does not hesitate to assure all lovers in this town of the national game that the

 'I happen to know that several Bir- mingham men are buying the stock of the Georgia Railway and Electric com pany-the Atlanta street car system This stock seems to be quite active, but the Birmingham Railway Light and Power stock is still more active and possibly it has not occurred to the men who are speculating in Atlanta to give Birmingham the preference.

Virginia to Alabama, the history of the esting than herself
 Miss Weeden does not remember when she did not draw and paint, but 1t was for pleasure and without serious aim or training. She painted everything indis- criminately like other unled and misled amateurs till she awoke one day to the fact that there was right around her a subject of supreme artistic interest-the old southern ex-slave, who with his black weather beaten face and pictur- esque figure was slowly slipping away.
 Once comprehended, the subject ab- sorbed her and presently she was hard at work painting negro faces and mak- ing notes on them and verse, until it was not long before there was a port folio of these pictures and verses
 One day a friend, MT. Allison of New York, on visit to her home, saw them and carrying them back with him brought them out in book form under the title of Shadows on the Wall'
 This afterwards changed it's name to 'Bandanna Ballads" and was shortly followed by a more carefully prepared volume called Songs of the Old South,H and this is now about to be followed by a new book on the same theme.
 In regard to the cause of the unabated interest in the subject, Miss Weeden does not think it strange.
 The old ex-slave is, she says, an ex- traordinarily dramatic figure. one of tho makers of southern history, and all effort to fix a permanent record of him. every faithful picture of his face, every sug- gestive fact of his relation with his for mer master is naturally welcomed as part and parcel of an old and precious past.

WEEDENS WORK IN PAINTING
 THE BANDANNERED MAA4N1Y OF THE SOUTH

It is not surprising to know that How ard Weeden, whose "Bandanna Ballards and Shadows on the Wall" have reveal ed with peculiar and distinctive radiance the old slaves of the south, has the deepest and keenest appreciation of the dramatic part played in southern his tory by the ex-slave.
 To paint the bandannered mammy of the south as Miss Weeden has done required something more than knowl- edge of color; but whatever the gift, it has been bestowed upon ner-a gift that will make her work live when those she has immcrtalized will be but a memory.
 In turning to the old grey-haired and wrinkled slave of the south for inspira- tion, Miss Weeden selected the most pie turesque figure that will ever again be reproduced. And as the old slave stands apart as a type, a silhouette against background of color as glowing as the bandanna head-dress, so does Miss Weed en's work stand out distinctly among all that the century has produced.
 She has epitomized the life of the ex- slave in few strokes of her pen, and as is the result of art when there is true, comprehension of the subject, Miss Weeden has painted from life the for mer slave as he has never been painted and cannot even be again so faithfully reproduced. With her keen insight into his nature and an appreciation of those depths of kindliness revealed in his wrinkled old face. her brush. delicate and rare in its touch, goes like a melody to the heart and awakens a sleeping chord.
 In the recognition that Miss Weedens s work has brought her, Alabama feels a personal pride and interest and no sec tion has bestowed upon her greater honor
