The Birmingham Age-Herald ex-
plains the new plan of farming" pine
trees for their rosin. It says: Here
tofore the trees have been opened until
a mere strip was left Three or four
boxes we're cut in the same tree. This
means the decay Of the tree and early
death. DR.. Herty's plan will at least
double the life of she trees. He cuts
no box at all-merely gutter, at the
end of which is clay cup. In Irwin
County be worked the two methods
side by side and the cup method gave
rosin and turpentine that brought from
20 to 300 per cent more money. In the
end the Herty method increases the
yield from tree. All operators who
have watched the Herty method in
actual operation do not hesitate to say
that it is preferable in every respect.
The earthen cups needed are inexpen
sive. DR.. Herty claims that his
method will not shorten the life of a
tree in the least, but even if it doub-
les the life of tree. as all VINO have
studied it say it will, it will add mill
lions to the wealth of this section"
The method, it is believed, can be ap-
piled also to the collection of rubber
in the tropics, which will greatly ex-
tend its vlaue

Duke Becomes King.

London, Sept. 29.-J. B. Duke,
president of the American Tobacco
company, and who is to fill that Office
in the newly formed British-Ameri-
can Tobacco company, limited, in an
interview today denied that the new
tobacco alliance would result in raising
prices above what was necessary for q
reasonable profit. When asked abou;
the Ogden bonus, a matter which
greatly stirs retail tobacco dealers Of
this country, Mr.. Duke said: As
Ogdens, limited, has ceased to exist,
so has the bonus. After the paymen;
of the quarters installment which is
due today, nothing further will be
paid
Remarking upon the consumption Of
tobacco in England, which is only
two pounds per capita, as against SIX
pounds in the United States, Mr..
Duke said he believed the small con-
sumption in England was due to the
high duty on tobacco and that the re-
duction of this duty would result in
trebling the revenues from it.

Factory Profits.

AS a striking evidence of the profitable
ness of investing money in manufacturing
plants in Birmingham, 1t may be stated
that on yesterday President Ben Martin
of the Martin Cracker Company mailed
to his stockholders checks for a semi
annual dividend amounting to per cent
this being the second 6 per cent dividend
declared this year, making the investment
pay full IL per cent year. In these
days of cheap money, when hundreds of
millions are invested at less than 3 per
cent and or per cent is considered
eminently satisfactory, solid Blrming-
ham manufacturing enterprise is paying
II per cent, 1t would seem that this
simple statement of one fact ought to be
a profitable advertisement of Birming-
ham IL published In the money centers.

American Coal In Italy.

American coal is carried each year
to wider markets, and Italy which has
no coal of any sort is beginning to
import the American article. Our con-
sui at Turin writes that two years ago
American coal was unknown in that
city, only English coal being imported,
but now the local gas companies use
American COAL preferring it to any
English coal, because it possesses more
volatile matter, and more and better
gas can be made from it. These COM
panies have recently issued an official
statement to that effect.
This simply illustrates the possibili-
ties Of Alabama coal when it can be
barged to the sea at transportation
cost Of about 80 cents ton. When
that can be done all the world is our
market, England and few other To-
calities excepted. All countries that
contain no coal areas will take it be-
cause 1t can be sold at lower figures.
There will be no sentiment in the
transactions. No other American coal
is mined so near the sea, and no other
American coal can be carried to tide
water at water rates-at 80 cents ton
. or at any figure approaching that sum-
Those who see the present stage of
coal mining in this district scarcely
appreciate the possibilities that will
present themselves as soon as the
Warrior is opened.

THE NEXT SPEAKER.

From the Savannah News.
The Washington Star reports that there
is some mild midsummer gossip In cir
culation at the capital about the speaker
of the next House, conditioned upon
Democratic success In November. Figur-
ing in this gossip are the names of Mr..
Richardson Of Tennessee, Mr.. DeArmond
of Missouri Mr.. Underwood of Ala
bama, Mr.. Hay Of Virginia and one of
the members of the Texas delegation
"All good me-. we are assured" says the
Star, land equal to the office" But
while the gossipers are about 1t why do
they not broaden their vision. In the
event of Democratic success next Mo-
vember which, of course. in this instance
means the winning of the House, a GER
tain gentleman from Georgia will be de-
serving of a prominent place in the re-
organization picture. We refer of course,
to Mr. Griggs, the chairman of the DEM
ocratic Congressional campaign commit
tee He is already at work with a will
getting the campaign into shape, and the
winning of the House by the Democrats
would mean that he had done his work
thoroughly and well. Having demon
strated his capacity by managing the
campaign successfully. it would seem
that the party in the House would be un-
der obligation to the gentleman from
Georgia, and it might look further and
fare worse In the selection of speaker.

Cholera In the Philippines.

The cholera epidemic in Manila is
giving the civil and military authori-
ties of the island no little anxiety and
very many cares. In the absence of
sanitary regulations and proper living
it is spreading rapidly, and it kills al
most every person 1t attacks.
The entire trouble consists in in
ducing the natives to drink boiled
water, to eat uncontaminated food and
to avoid victims of the epidemic. The
population of the infected island is
dense, and the habits of the people are
unsanitary in the extreme. Professor
Koch showed as long ago as 1883 that
the cholera microbe must be carried to
the intestinal canal before an attack of
the disease can occur. This means
that IL, like typhoid fever, is as rule
a drinking-water disease. The water
acquires from the soil the dread mi
crobes, and these are absorbed by the
natives. With such popula-
ton to handle it will indeed be difficult
to stamp the disease out. 1t is also

Mr.. LAMoNT,s STRENGTH.

From the New York Tribune.
If by any possible chance he should be
elected he would know how to use his
power to the advantage of his party and
himself and would be formidable can
didate for a Presidential nomination
Therein lies the weakness of the La
mont boom. Doubtless some persons
would like to draw the Cleveland men
into the organization this year by invit-
ing them 10 lead forlorn hope In order
to use the strength of a united party for
their own purposes next year. Persons
who know Mr.. Lamont, however, do not
credit him with a desire to lead such a
forlorn hope. He is not accustomed to
pull other peoples chestnuts out of the
fire. Neither would the office of Cover
nor have great attractions to him as an
end in itself He would not be likely
simply to take a Governorship for him
self In order to make another man Presi-
dent. When the prize of a Governorship
was control of a Presidential nomination
he would probably take what he had
earned instead of giving 1t away. There
fore other New York Democrats with
PRESIDENTIAL ambitions are likely to think
twice before nominating him for Cover
nor with any expectation of electing him.
The Hon. David B. Hill doubtless wants
to make good showing here this fall
but there is no sign that he wants to
transfer the votes of New York in the
next national convention to Mr.. Lamont
or raise up any political lightning rod In
this Gtafh which Ia ;, L.
shining pate. That may account for the
absence of any loud upstate echo of Mr.
Sullivan's proposals. 1t may also be
taken into account in estimating the
probabilities of the nomination of Hon.
Alton B. Parker, even assuming that
eminent jurist's readiness to give up
judicial bird in the hand for two political
birds in the bush.
