AN UNFORTUNATE DISCOVERY

The Wilcox Progressive Era says Dr.
 Starr of that county. has been experi- menting with cotton-seed as bread pro- duct. and he claims to have found that a mixture of one peck of cotton-seed and three pecks of corn ground together makes an excellent bread-stufr. and that 1t really possesses some advantages over the pure corn meal. Among these alleged advantages are that the oil in the mixture renders lard unnecessary and that the resultant bread Is shorter" and bakes better than bread made entirely of corn meal.
 Since cotton-seed oil has become so well into such general use for all domestic purposes, no argument is needed to prove that 1t is both safe and wholesome, but we imagine that nothing but a cultivated taste will enable any one to relish it in the form of bread. However. as human beings can acquire a relish for almost anything 1t may be that a mixture of cotton-seed meal with the corn meal will cease to be a novelty and will become a common breadstuff
 cannot but regard this discovery as an unfortunate one. There is too much disposition already among Southern farm- CTS to run entirely to cotton in their farming operations. and if the seed can be made to take the place of corn as a basis of pones, hoecakes and the like we may Gs well bid goodbye 70 corn. If 1t Is found that one-fourth cotton-seed meal is wholesome ard palateable it may turn out like the old toper and his drinks. He thought he was taking too much. so he tried the experiment of making his drink half water. That was not exactly to his taste, so he added g little more whiskey each day till, in a short time 1t was straight whiskey. It may be that by gradually increasing the proportion of cotton-seed meal we may eventually get to making our bread of that entirely and that will end the corn crop. Many Ala bama farmers are too much disposed to grow nothing but cotton as it is, and they will turn to it altogether if it will supply bread.
 There might remain few uses to which cotton-seed could not be put as q substitute for corn, such as hominy. roasting-ears popcorn and the like. but if 1t will make good bread It IS almost certain to break very materially into our corn production, and for that reason, if for no other. we are not disposed to re- gard this discovery as a commendable one.

tor to arrive at the goal was a meat eater. The account as given In The Ser liner Margenpost of May A. and in The Leipziger Vegetarisake Warte (of the German 1eague). and in The Vegetarian tof the London Vegetarian Association) is this: The distance was 124 1-2 English miles (2o2 kilometers). 1t was to be made In one stretch. There were thirty-two competitors: thirteen of these arrived within the time limit. The first six who arrived were vegetarians, the seventh and eighth were meat-eaters, the ninth, tenth. eleventh and twelfth were vegetarians and the thirteenth was a meat-eater.
 The others of the thirty-two either did not arrive within the time-limit or gave up the contest on the road, as the wealth CT was extremely bad. Among those thus throwing up the sponge on the road was the crack walker q. Boege) of the sporting club, Fomet. and on account of wounded feet the celebrated English walker Allen. The German government made this walk a matter for scientific investigation.
 Karl Mann as vegetarian and J. Boege as meat-eatcr were for eleven days De. fore and on, the day of the walk subject to scientific examination in regard to all points connected with the walk that bore on the question of food. health strength, endurance, etc., of the people and or the army
 124 1-2 English miles in 26 hours and ,. minutes. Leaving Dresden at 7:40 o'clock on Sunday morning, May Is. he arrived in Berlin Monday morning. May 19, at 10:41 o'clock. The scientific examination on the road and the required changing of clothing (which is to be submitted to scientific examination also) took fifteen minutes, which must be deducted from the time spent on the march. After his arrival the government took him again in hand for examination. as regards res- piration, pulse. lungs. loss of weight, con- dition of nerves, etc.
 The second-also a vegetarian-arrived two hours and six minus later From the above it is clear that people do not need to commit suicide on account of the meat trust but that they can have full faith in the all saving power of fruits and farinaceae.

DROPS CASE AGAINST MILES.
President Abandons His Plan for Inquiry in Arnold Revelations.

Washington special telegram to CnicaSo
 Chronicle.
 President Roosevelt has abandoned his plan of Investigating the complications growing out of the record in the case Of Lieutenant Arnold. He and his friends have become convinced that it will be impossible to make any case against Lieutenant General Miles on the allega- lion that he furnish ,d to Senator Gull person certain papers regarding the tor ture of Filipinos by soldiers under the command of Lleute iant Arnold The ap- pearance of these documents caused a sensation m the Senate the other day.
 Miles friends are indignant over the attitude the President assumed in sus- pecting the lieutenant general of secret ly supplying damaging evidence against the army administration in the Philip pines to Democrats In Congress. They say the position taken by the President was without justification and they re- gard his decision to let the matter drop a. a vindication of the commanding gen eral.
 There is much resentment against Sem ator Beveridge and others who started the trouble in the Senate and it is likely that Miles friends win be heard from in the near future.
 Secretary Root says General Miles has no right to give out any record of the War Department which contains charges against an officer of the army. He says the President of the United States does not possess such right The Secretary likens his position to that of a custodian of the secrets of a grand jury. He says that charges are frequently made against officers and after investigation proved to be without foundation. 1t is the policy of the Department to suppress matters of this kind until complete investigations have been made.
 Secretary Root however, does not cx- plain why General Miles order to con vene courtmartal to try Lieutenant Arnold was not approved. Neither does he explain why the President exhibited so much haste in ordering Arnold before court martial after Senator Culberson presented the charges against the lieu tenant on the ticor of the Senate.
 To impartial observers the Presidents action looks like a slap at the Secretary of War. He became familiar with all Of the facts of tht case before he ordered the court martial. He knew that Gen eral Miles had ordered a court martial and m lst have known that Secretary Root disapproved the order. Under the circumstances, therefore, Secretary Root appears to be the chief sufferer by req son of the charges having become public. I he court martial was ordered by the President without consulting the Secre- tary, and indeed, while he was absent from Washington.
 For reasons that are undoubtedly sat- lsfactory to himself the Secretary of War has evinced no disposition to resent the Presidents conduct by resigning, He IS still holding on to his office, notwith- that he was the recipient of d public rebuke such as is administered to suit of Miles has proved so alluring to the Secretary that his desire to be in at the death has overcome every considera- ton of personal dignity.

THE OPPOSITION.
And Some Reflections by Close ob-
 server

''The friends of the present admins tration have been interested in and amused at tine frantic efforts of some leading anti-constitution people to break down the Democratic precedent of a sec ond term for a faithful officer" said a gentleman yesterday who takes a keen interest in public affairs.
 You can go into almost any town in Alabama and into almost any commit nity and you will hardly find any part of the population who have any criticism to make of the administration of either the Governors office. the Auditors and Treasurer or the Commissioner of Az ricultures. The State Government is n the hands of able and popular gentlemen and the Democratic precedent will not be overturned in the interest of any aspr- ing politician. Governor Johnston $ tastes and hates will not he consulted in filling either one of the offices. The op- position revolves around the eX-Govcr- nor. Besides ambitious persons will hesitate to tie on to him since he has lost nearly every fight in which he has been engaged. He is l distinct loser and not a winner and weaker now than ever before. The white people of this State. who hold life certificates are not excited Those men who fought the Constitution bitterly. believing their rights were to be assailed are not disturbed any more and they are in a most amicable mood with the people who fought for the reform and made honest elections possible in Alabama. There. is no pronounced oppo- sition to the administration in the re-. motost districts of the State"
 And the fellows clamoring for hon est clections?" Why the people who made the Constitution and adopted it were the first men on the ground for honest elections. No attention will be paid the new converts. They vociferate needlessly. No mans ballot is any longer in danger and these protesters know it. By the way. what has become of the honest election leagues? Is the new organization dead?
 Now we heard a vociferous cry go up for a primary from self-constituted of fice-seekers They are afraid the peo- ples rights will be invaded. There is no more doubt that the committee will or der a primary Ethan that the sun will shine. 1t has been a foregone conclusion for weeks. Some gentlemen have recent ly rushed in to disturb the ether and call attention to themselves. They are too late. The Democratic papers of the State have held to the primary idea al most unanimously. They must represent their people. And a primary will be called and was certain without the voci- ferrous demands of these late gentlemen"

The American Newspaper Directory uses cer- tain signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole field of newspaperdonl wtich comes under its notice. and one of these signs is the mystic symbol I0] denoting ''golden." which stands for high quality, and 5s thus explained:
 "Advertisers value this paper more for the class and quality of it's circulation than for the mere number of copies printed"
 Such papers are credited with a single sym bol; but there is higher grade. according to this standard authority. which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY. and require inc DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL [ O0l to describe adequately their standing.
 The Advertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol [00I and Is the only paper So distinguished in this section Of the South.

In lS64 the government gave a bounty or s4OO tc every soldier in the army who veteranized. There was in the Confed- crate prisons at that time B, 900 soldiers who could not veterahize. Now Farmer Smith will ask the Congressman from Kansas to get bill though appropriating s4OO to each of these prisoners. Probably 2O.oO0 of the $500 survive.-Leavenworth Times.

The actual net opsrags gain of this May over last May IS 'x,o0i, the Sunday average gain is S,oox. twelve months. .

SHOULD INSIST ON TARIFF RE-
 VISION

We agree with The Memphis News that the Democratic members of Congress "would have bettered their position by having made strong fight for tariff revision at this session. It occurs to us that even now 1t is not too late to begin the fight. The Republicans do not want the issue precipitated and the coun- try feels the need of tariff reform. These are two good reasons why the Demo- crats should do something. The tide is mp, it should be taken at it's food"
 The Advertiser has more than once called attention to the unrest and un- certainty among the Republicans on the farih question. That some of them are really and sincerely in favor of revision all along the line is beyond question. That there are others who favor modifica- Hon Of some portions of the present schedule is equally true, but there are others who are opposed to any meddling with the tariff at all, and they will con { frol, in all probability. If the Demo- crats had come to an agreement and made the tariff a paramount issue. in- etedu oA cnasins rdlhpoWs, they would have put their opponents in a hole, and might have attained the two-fold ad- vantage of making political capital and of doing the right thing.
 It is probably too late now to remedy the failure to act in time, at least so far as the present session of Congress is concerned, but perhaps the ensuing fail elections may afford even a better opening than already existed. At all events, the Democrats can make no mistake by insisting on the old Demo- cratic doctrine, and making the Repub- llcans take position and defend il. if they can.

Snake stories grow with the hot weather. the latest we have seen being this from The Pell City Coosa Valleyan.
 MT. Port Darrah says he killed a snake some time ago that had two feet with toes and nails. MT. J. w. Moore is of- fering a dollar for every snake foot that is brought to him.
 That is doing pretty well for st. Clair. Snakes with feet and horns having been brought to the front we may expect a winged specimen very soon.
