THE ARGUMENT NOT SOUND.

Referring to a recent statement in the Advertiser to the effect that the people of Jackson County, as in other portions of Alabama. ought to work up their own timber instead of selling it to outsiders, The Huntsville Tribune says:
 It is easy to criticise, tell people what to do, and how to do 1t. The question is. where are the people of Jackson to get the wherewith all to do 1t with. It re- qures experience and money to manu- facture raw material. It is better that they should sell and take the chances than to keep their pockets empty all the time.
 Of course it requires both money and experience to manufacture the many articles which can be made from the hard woods of North Alabama, but the same reasoning applies to the working up of the pine timber. It requires money and experience to manufacture sash, doors, blinds and all the other articles made of our yellow pine. but it IS being done in various towns and cities in Ala bama. and the work is profitable.
 The idea or belief that it requires a large sum of money to start woodwork ing establishments is mistake, for the cost depends entirely on the magnitude of the enterprise, just as it does in other industries. A cotton factory can be started with few thousand dollars. It is not necessary to wait till a very large sum can be raised in order to begin work. Ttplhar uiI f ;e lot eta ing. and it can be worked up on small scale or on a large one. and in either case it will be sound business sense and economy to work 1t as near to the place of growth as practicable.
 If the editor of The Tribune will go Huntsville. or into any general store where articles manufactured of wood are kept, we've no doubt that he will find various things, from clothes pins to reapers and road wagons, all with the im- print of some manufactory in New Eng land or the Northwest, and if he will followAit up he will find that many of those artielessare made of Alabama wood. That wood has been shipped to the fac tories and the manufactured articles shipped back. Of course the Alabama purchaser must pay the freight each way, and, besides, the mechanics of other com munities are being paid for the work. It is three-fold burden on our people. The question of skilled labor is not one to be considered. for the machinery and the skilled mechanics for working hard weeds are as readily obtainablc as they are in the case of our yellow pine. In fact, from any point of view, we insist that 1t is a species of cut-throat busi- ness tc sell our valuable timber and buy it back in it's manufactured form.

CANNES. April 5.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram.)-The fashiona-
BILE cosmopolitan section here has been rent
in twain by a recently established Amer
lean bar for women. 1t is said that fastidl-
Gus women who would die rather than be
seen in such an establishment at home
think 1t jolly fun to go In little groups to
this bar, sit on high stools and order cock
tails before lunch or extremely light alb
sinthe after dinner. Some worthy. but not
up-to-date men and women object to such
doings and cut the known patrons Of the
select little joint, however intimate they
may have been before.
The Iatter-day element retailiated, and
then the pastors OF the English and Amer
lean churches took part In the agitation,
being especially active when II was discov-
cred that the two American barmaids were
only employees, the owners OF the place be-
ing several society women whose names are
an open secret. These women argue In
their defense that the Riviera needed such
a rendezvous because teas are not practical
and otherwise there would be no time to
meet friends. Moreover, they say. the
profits OF the bar are given to charity.
There the question rests temporarily.

KILLED IN FOOT BALL CRUSH
Five Persons Dead and Over Hum
dred Seriously Injured by
Collapse of GrRndstRnd.

GLASGOW, April 5.-The struggle OF the
crowds which gathered at Ibrox park today
to witness the International association
land and Scotland caused the collapse OF
a portion of one of the spectators terraces,
resulting in the death of five persons and
the injury of 125 others, twenty Of whom
are not expected to recover.
When the game began 10000 spectators
were on the ground and an immence crowd
had gathered outside. Being unable to
obtain admittance this crowd broke down
some Of the barriers aud swarmed upon
the field. The police drove the intruders
back upon the terraces and seats with the
result that the railings dividing, the crowds
we're broken, and the people were thrown
over each other. In the frantic struggle
towards the exits the pressure toward the
upper portion of the westerly terrace was
so great that a 100 feet of the highest
part of the structure collapsed under the
weight of the crowd driven upon II, pre-
cipitating the mass of people to the
grounds sixty feet below. The injured were
piled in heaps. wedged in with broken
wood
The onlookers hesitsted to approach the
dangling structure at first, but finally be-
gan to utilize portions OF the broken bar
riers as stretchers. A hundred of the
most seriously injured we're carried to the
pavilion.
A majority OF the victims are suffering
from broken ribs and fractured limbs, while
some sustained internal injuries. Six Of the
injured are not likely to recover.

NO OUTSIDERS NEED APPLY
Foreign Trust Companies Cannot
Act as Administrators in
Connecticut.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, April 5.--A decision
which threatens to upset the business OF a
score of trust companies doing business as
foreign corporations in this state has been
rendered by the supreme court OF errors
1t refers to the administration of estates
and means, in brief, that no foreign cor
poration. although specially chartered In
other states. has the right to act as admin
istrator in Connecticut.
The suit in question was brought by the
Farmers Loan and Trust company of New
York against Frances J. Smith, resulting
from the death of Edward S. Smith Of
Waterbury. The application of the trust
company to act as administrator is denied
by the supreme court on the ground that,
as foreign corporation. 1t is denied by
statute the right to carry on the business
Of deceased persons.
The sweeping effect of this decision may
be seen from the fact that at present there
are perhaps twenty foreign corporations
handling some of the largest Connecticut
estates.
