Next Tuesday the annual spring
election will be pulled off, and the
town will start again on new official
year. The contest at this late day
seems to have developed nothing in
the way of issues, although the COW
question seems to be up, informally,
for discussion. None of the candi-
dates are declaring themselves on
this matter, however and the result
is that the con test is narrowing down
to d simple matter of who is the
sbest fellow"

They made trip out to the govern
Nero Indian school for the purpose
of looking over the institution, but

COTTON CROP.

Meridian, Miss, May 10.-(SpeciaD-As the growing crop Is being watched with unusual interest and anxiety, 1t shall be my purpose to keep my friends informed as to it's weekly progress.
 Planting Is about completed; probably one-thrd is up, with good stands and be- ing well worked. The weather for the past week has been perfect on that which is out of the ground but moisture Is needed and must be had before the bal ance of the crop will come up. The crop Is earlier than last season by ten days. but still later than usual by two weeks. Lands were poorly prepared, planting done hurriedly, and, unless rain falls soon, the crop taken as whole will be consid- cred as having a poor start. All of these obstacles can, however be easily over come by favorable conditions hereafter, and there is yet plenty of time to make crop sufficiently large to meet the rap idly growing requirements.
 There will be no increase of acreage In this state, nor will there by any east of the Mississippi river. Texas may possibly increase per cent. Food stuffs are high CT than for years; but few mules have been purchased and those on hand are In 1 poor conditoin. and 1t is no exaggeration l to state. this crop will be one of the most costly the South has produced for years | A & JOHNSTON

Roosevelt is not a bit dlsmayed by that fact.
 The presidents appearance on the stump at this time shows at least how thoroughly well scared the Re publieans are. What with a neglect ed duty to Cuba, and a barbarous policy in the Philippines, and a mo nopolistic policy in Chicago, they have their hands full, and every man. ager among them anticipates defeat They see 1t coming down the pike and they will leave no stone unturn- ed to head 1t off. The addresses of President Roosevelt are to be a part of their movement against the popu- lar storm
 His addresses, too, will show un- mistakably that he intends to be- come his party's candidate in 1904. If he did not, he would not violate the better practice and precedents of his high office. He hopes to put himself before the people as the head of his party, thus enabling him to claim whatever may be accomplished What effect defeat will have upon his fortunes remains to be seen. There is feeling in the air that the Demo. crats will control the next house of representatives, and that the Demo crats will have at least a fighting chance in 1904, especially if the Dem- ocrats carry New York this fall. David Bennett Hill should be nomi- mated for Governor in that State, and campaign conducted there that President Roosevelt will find almost as hot as Santiago

Barue Line 10 TIdeWater.

Al barge company has been organ ized in which Tuscaloosa, Connecticut and Louisiana capitalists are interest ed, and it is stated that this company has secured an option on the Lake Borgne canal, the purcnase price of which is to be $400,000.
 This raises the question: Is it best that the one inside route to New Or leans should be in the hands of one barge company? The proposed pur- chase of the Lake Borgne canal seems harmless now, but it may have an entirely different look when the traffic has become heavy and i'm portant alike to this district and to New Orleans.
 The proposed purchase of the Lake Borgne canal may hurt New Orleans more than will in this district, be cause shipments can be made from Mobile of the products of this dis trict, but looking to the great future of the iron and coal trade of this dis trict 1t would be better for all con cerned-for the new barge company also-to hold the Lake Borgne canal open to all traffic on even and just terms.
 The near approach of an Open War rior is to be seen in this effort to get into advantageous position at an ear ly date, but We doubt if the acquisi- tion of the Lake Borgne canal by the new barge company would be desira. ble to the company itself or benef. cial to the great interests at either end-to this district as whole or to New Orleans.

Mir. Thompson's Guests.

Congressman Thompson will bring to this State and this town a very in teresting party, not one of whom has as yet seen the cotton States, Secre- tary Wilson alone excepted. We add a full list of MT. Thompson's guests
 Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, Secretary of the Treasury and wife; Hon. James Wilson. Secretary of Agriculture; Hon. William R. Merriam, director of the census; Hon. A. w. Machen, superintendent of rural free delivery; Hon. William E. Fuller Assistant Attorney General, and the fol- lowing Representatives. with ladies nam ed: Ed Crumpacker of Valparaiso Ind. Thaddeus M. Mahon of Chambersburg Pa: Charles E. Litt1efeld of Rockland Me; John H. Ketcham of Dover Plains N. r.; Thomas B. Kyle of Troy; MT. and Mrs. James B. Southard of Toledo, O.; James P. Connor of Dontson, J. M. Rum ple, Marengo; MT. and Mrs. Walter l. Smith of Council Bluffs, la; Charles A. Russell of Killingly, Conn.,; Ernest W. Roberts of Chelsea, Mass; MT. and Mrs. Archibald B. Darragh of St. Louis, Mich. MT. and Mrs. John J. Jenkins of Chip pewa Falls; Herman B. Dahl of Mountain Horeb; James H. Davidson of Oshkosh; MT. and Mrs. Webster E. Brown of Rhine lander: Samuel S. Barney of West Bend, Wis.
 MT. Thompson and his guests will leave Washington May 19, and they will return to the capital May 25, and in the short time intervening they may gather considerable information but they cannot expect to ascertain all this section is capable of, or what public sentiment in 1t calls for. It will be a touch-and-go expedition, but even such skimming trip is better than none at all.
 MT. Crumpacker promises to be one of the stars of the Thompson aggre- gation. and he will often no doubt be called upon to explain his views upor Southern representation. He vii find about as much happiness ant contentment in AlaDama to the acr as he Is accustomed to find at home and it may puzzle him to explain wh. population in the one State should b. fully represented in Congress while the other should have but class rep resentation. His class system, if goot at all, should be applied in all States but representation Is best based oI population, for in that case all are represented and no harm done.

he Piedmont Inquirer.

From the Piedmont Inquirer.
 Since the adoption of the new constitu- ton the old bloody shirt cry of white supremacy so long held over the white people as a scare crow by the politicians has been removed and now the cry to prevent the people being heard in the selection of their officials by a primary is fit is too expensive We would like to know when the spirit of economy struck this saving set" The extrava- gance of the last legislature, and the necessity for the governor to call a halt is matter of history, and the great ex- pense of holding constitutional conven- ton is well known. Both of these bodies were owned and controlled by these same economical politicians, and we do not re- member to have seen single protest from them when the peoples money was being spent so lavishly. They do not care a hill of beans for the expense be- cause that is their part of the emoluments of the office, and the candidate gets what Is left. The drinks and fees to the politi- cal bum can be dispensed with and the cost will be very little.

Southern Forest Reserve.

Forty-one forest reserves, with an aggregate area of 46,000,000 acres, have already been defined and dedi- cated to perpetual public uses, in the Western States and territories, and 1t Is now proposed to establish a South ern reserve at the headwaters of the many Southern streams in the Appa- lachian region, of which our Alabama hills are a part. The proposed re- serve Is. however, to be located in the Carolinas, Tennessee and Vir- ginia.
 Senator Simmons bill calls for the purchase of 4,00O,0O0 acres of moun- tain lands, at a cost of perhaps $1O,- 000,0OO. Nine great rivers have their sources in the Appalachian region, and the Secretary of the Treasury says the damage done by these rivers in the last twelve months aggregates S1S,000,000. Senator Simmons insists that a great forest reserve is the only remedy against land erosion and flood destruction. The rainfall is ex- cessive in the Appalachian range, oftentimes 100 inches a year, and de- forestation threatens much of the Southern country with ruin.
 This is why the North Carolina Senator asks Congress to establish g forest reserve in the still wooded re zion of the Appalachian range. Al least three-quarters of the range is covered with the natural growth ol timber, but all this will soon be swept away unless Congress stays the hand of the lumbermen by buying al the rate of $2.50 to $3 an acre a re serve of about 100000 acres. All Ihe other reserves of the country arc west of the Mississippi river, and il seems but just that there should be one in the South where timbered land can be bought cheaply The uill of Senator Simmons deserves support and attention, and it will surely com mand the votes of Southern members

Presidential Politics.

"A distinguished western Democrat in discussing the so-called Lamont boom for the Democratic nomination in 1904 took the ground that the former secre- tarv of war would not do for standard Bearer because he had got rich by spec uIation and because furthermore he was vice-presdent of a railroad company" remarked an old Democratic politician yesterday.
 "The distinguished Democrat went on to say that Lamont had never displayed sufficient statesmanship. even if he were not Identified with a corporation. to en- file him to consideration as a presi- dential possibility. I am quite sure that lamont has no Idea of being a candidate for the presidency or any other office, but 1t is a mistake to think he lacks ability. He is an exceptionally level headed man. He is just the sort of fel- low who can rise to the occasion. While he was President Cleveland's private sec retary he was much more than secre- tarv. At the head of the Var Depart ment he was a brilliant success. l heard an old army officer say that Lamont made the best secretary of war that had served since the civil war.
 Coming to the question of speculation and railroads Lamont was not to be com- pared with the greatest statesman and political leader the Democratic party has had in the last 30 years Samuel J. Tilden, who was a multi-millionaire and who made the bulk of his fortune in Wall Street. Tilden was in a number of rail- road deals and yet I never heard any one bring that up against him.
 "It Is a noteworthy fact that no Astor, Vanderbilt or Morgan lived so much like a grand duke as the Sage of Greystone From 1876 until he died MT. Tilden main- tained two houses, one in New York City and the other on the Hudson near Yonk- CTS He was bachelor, yet he kept large retinue of servants like a royal per- sorage. He owned and had in commits sion yacht, the Viking, although he himself never went to sea. At his coun- try place Mr. Tilden had a stable of thoroughbred horses kennels of high bred dogs, and all the appurtenances found at royal establishments.
 
 Tn MT. Tilden's day there was little clash between the millionaire and the people, Tiden was an idol of the masses. Were he living today he would find per haps that so much style as he indulged in would not be approved by the Democ- racy, but 1 imagine he would have big following all the same.
 Lamont may be rich but he will never make 8 display of his wealth. There is not better Democrat or more modest man in the country than he. I knew him while he was private secretary to Cleve- land, and I saw a good deal of him while he was in the Cabinet and after he got to be a railroad magnate, and when l last met him 1 remarked how far he was from arrogance and vanity. He was the same unaffected, unpretentious Dan Lamont.
 "Reverting to 1904. my guess that either D. B. Hill or Judge Alton Parker will be the next Governor of New York, and whoever is elected by the Democrats will be nominated for President"

Clay County.

No county in Alabama is richer in nat ural resources than Clay said a Bir- mingham man who has made investments there. "Clay's inaccessibility has kept it back. but now that it is being reached by railroad, its gold and other products will be developed
 Gold mining will become a profitable industry In Clay County. Under the old methods of milling, Alabama gold could not be made commercially valuable but under the new processes 1t will be a great competitor of the gold fields of richer percentage. Large capital has been in- vested in Clay County within the past twelve months, and it will flow in more rapidly from now on."
