JUDGE cArrEE,s CANDIDACY.

The announcement from Birmingham of Judge A. E. Caffee's candidacy for Governor serves to break the plscidity of the political waters with passing rip pie.
 Of course. 1t comes as a matter or surprise. It has not been whispered even that he had the 'bee in his bonnet" He holds a good position as a member of the State Railroad Commission. and 1t has not been understood that he was seeking high honors It has not been apparent, at any rate. that he has been using his present of3ce as a stepping stone to the higher one. It has not been generally expected of the Railroad Commission that 1t should buckle down to hard, steady work. and Judge Caffee has not been leading a more strenuous life In connec- tion with the Commissions arduous duties than most of his predecessors or his associates.
 Judge Caffee takes pains to announce that his candidacy is not brought about by ex-Governor Johnston, and that the latter will be as much surprised as any one else. This declaration implies a recognition of ground for the suspicion that he has come out to satisfy the vel understood desire of the ex-Governor Judge Caffee and the ex-Governor have been political friends for years. and Caf- fee was appointed to his present position by Johnston. It will be hard for the ,rAA a avld fine
 Judge is disregarding Johnston's interests at this late day. Of course. there will be all sorts of speculation and gossip about the an nouncement and its meaning. Time alone will develop the facts.
 Judge Caffee's platform is full of words but there Is not much that is tangible in them He deals in glittering generali- ties. He protests against prevailing political conditions in Alabama, though he has never stood out as a strenuous reformer in the past. Possibly. how ever, he recognizes the fact that he has been in full sympathy for years with those who have brought about the present con ditions, and that it is his duty at this late day to help undo that which has been done.
 Judge Caffee is generally accounted a shrewd politician. He doubtless knows what he is doing. and has his plans as to how to do it. Nevertheless we dc not think he Is a strong leader. We dc not expect him to be formidable op- ponent of Governor Jelks His candidacy may break the ice. and lead to other announcements, thus getting up a more or less confused situation. It Is said that Governor Johnston's announcement will follow in a week or so. The more tho merrier. and the easier it will be fol Governor Jelks to be nominated.

FOREIGN COMMERCE OF YEAR.

The marked characteristics OF the
foreign commerce Of the United States
turing the fiscal year ended June 80
1902. we're a decrease Of S1O6.O45 $50 in
exports and an Increase Of $50, Jas. 1873 in
imports. The total exports OF the year
were 81. 3S1. 719. f01. Of which 81 1855. 4Sl, -
SCI was OF domestic production. the
total imports we're 5000. 320 .94S. making
the excess OF exports over imports $t7S,-
3gS.452.
The decrease in exports is chiefly
due TO the unusual home demand, TO the
shortage In the corn crop OF 1901. and 70
a reduction In prices Of certain great
staples exported.
The increase in impCrtations was
chiefly due TO an enlarged demand by
manufacturers for raw materials for use
in manufacturing The increase Of $50
las. 1913 in impOTtatiCns has brought the
total import figures Of the year - O
point higher than ever before. the total
value OF impOTtatiOns OF 1902 being 1908 %
800 94S. against sS66.40O.922 in 1888 the
highest record Of preceding years.

The Virginia constitutional con-
vention has more bachelors in its
membership than any similar body
that ever assembled in the Old Do
minion or elsewhere. One of the
most prominent members is Charles
e. Miller of Pittsylvania county.
Mr. Miller is the present owner of a
1900 acre farm, situated one mile
from Mount Airy, which has the dis
tinction of having been owned by
bachelors for a couple of centuries.
No married couple has ever lived in
the house. In speaking of the old
place Mr.. Miller said:
"The property descended to me
from my uncle, who died at the age of
bachelor. Ny uncle was Crenshaw
Miller and the property was left to
him by bachelor uncle. For more
than 200 years no man and wife mas
ever lived in the house.
There was never any obligation,
contract, or understanding that the
heir or owners should never marry.
Ii just happened that my uncle nor
my great uncle ever married. That's
all there is to it. In fact, prior to
my uncles death, he constantly urged
me to marry, but up to this time |
have not compiled with his request.
"The farm has never passed out of
the family since it was originally
granted, and it has never had a lien

A Remarkable Pear.

Quite as curious phenomena may be
found in the vegetable as in the ami
NAL world. To two such phenomena
nj. Henri Gourdin, a French natural
list, now draws attention.
There was" he says, "in my garden
until recently pear growing on a
tree the branches of which had trained
to run along an iron netting. This
pear, as 1T developed, passed through
one of the openings in the network,
and then it grew to great size on
each side OF it, the result being that
when the time came for removing the
fruit | had TO cut away the network
by which it was held captive.
81 recently noticed similar phe-
nomenon in my kitchen garden. A
potato of quite large size had grown
around copper ring, which was bur
led in the ground. The metallic belt
encircled the potato and did not add
anything to its beauty"

grounds, and when the visitors picked
up the stick in the final with the tally
standing to 2, everybody from the
eldest fan to the youngest paper seller
was Standing on his seat and yelling
to the local slab artist to serve up his
choicest assortment of roun1 1-house
benders, and keep whatever guy was
handling the ash pivoting at delu-
sions. The twirler was up to busi-
ness and laid 'em over so fast that
the receiving end of the battery, who
wears a bird cage and liver pad,
looked as if he were shelling peas.
The first two victims only tore
rents in the atmosphere, but the
third guy connected AMI laid off a
flaming grosser which would have
made projectile from 13-incn gun
look like a bean bag tossed from one
baby to another. The man on the
difficult corner was right there,
though, and tagged the horse-hide pill
with his sinister talon, assisting it
over to the initial hassock in such
short order that someone yelled de-
risively, THAT fellow runs like an
Orange street automobile"
The home aggregation came to the
bat. Every one was confident that
they were going to pound the sphere
around the lot, but the opposing team
ran in new guy with slow south
wing, and before they had expected
there were two man down and two
strikes on the next guy. But, oh,
Phoebe! on the next delivery he be-
came the father of a bouncing swat
which landed in the last row Of pota-
toes in the outer garden and enabled
him to press down three buttons AMI

DR.. Garel of Lyons has drawn a
French nail about two inches long
from the bronchial tube of boy of 1S
months from Buenos Ayres. The nail
had been there for some time, causing
the child to cough much. Rontgen
rays showed the position of it, and an
electro magnet drew it out. Another
successful operation of the same kind
has been performed by DR.. Piechaud
of Bordeaux, on child of years. In
this case the trachea was opened to get
a projection from the pole of the mag
net near the nail. These experiments
are we'll worth the attention of sur
geons verywhere.-London Globe.
