Option on Lake Rorgne.

The New Orleans Times-Demoerat says that M. J. Sanders, president of the Lake Borgne Canal Company, con- firms the news that the Alabama Barge | Company holds an option on the ca nal, but that the price to be paid Is in excess of the reported sum, s400,000 considerable in excess of that sum. This Is a matter that concerns New Orleans very deeply, but the Lake Borgne Canal is the sole inside con- meeting link between New Orleans and l iron districts of Alabama. Can New Orleans afford to see this link pass into the control of single barge com pany, to be transferred pernaps later on to railroad combine? Is not New Orleans permitting itself to be rob. bed of big trade just when that trade will become ripe through the opening of the Warrior?
 When the Warrior is opened there will be at least 5,OO0,o00 tons of coal and 100000 tons of iron and steel to go to sea. Here is a tonnage that New Orleans cannot afford to over look. If 1t cannot monopolize it, it can at least share it, if tne Lake Borgne Canal is kept open to all on even and just terms,
 The Alabama Barge Company is the first of long series, but it is largely made up of Connecticut capitalists, and no one knows when 1t will refuse to pick up good offer from the rail- roads. This district cannot be bottled up, because there will be open water to Mobile and perhaps to Pensacola, but New Orleans will be bottled up so far as this district is concerned if it permits the Lake Borgne Canal to be throttled by either a barge com pany or the railroad companies New l Orleans Is not such a mighty port that it can afford to ignore the min eral resources and products of Ala bama. The city of New Orleans is none too prosperous, and it will lose a fine opportunity for trade if it per mlus the Lake Borgne Canal to drift into hostile hands. The press and capitalists of the Crescent City should give the subject due attention. The government will soon open the War rior, and then a great tide of coal and iron and steel and coke and other manufactured products of this district must find a sea outlet somewhere. | New Orleans is the preferable outlet, but if New Orleans people permit the connecting Ink to be cut off an out let elsewhere wnl be accepted.

The State Fair,

There will be a meeting of the State Fair Association some time next week, and I believe that definite action will be taken that will result in early organiza- tion for holding fair next fall" said MT. John W. O'Neill, secretary of the association.
 We now have everything in good shape, and there is no doubt but that we will have the best fair ever held here. The people of Alabama are highly prosperous and have more to exhibit now than ever before. Fairs are still very popular and great crowds will come to Birmingham the last of October If the association advertises the exhibition as it intends to do. '

 Strawberries are now plentiful and In a month we will have large consign- ments of melons and peaches.
 "Cullman strawberries were selling to- day at u.75 to $2.oo crate. Next week they will be much lower I cannot say how peaches will start of, but by July they will be cheap enough for everybody. I doubt if the South has ever raised such A large crop."

The Methodist Publishing House.

q do not think the general conference will vote to return to the government the money which Congress appropriated Ill 1898 to pay the claim for damages oy the Union army to the Methodist Pupllshihg House at Nashville, and they should not do it," said lawyer who was familiar with the history of the claim and the ,egis,ation that resulted In the appropri- ation.
 When the Methodist church divided into north and south in the iorues there was a good deal of controversy over the question of the Methodist BOOK con cern at Cincinnati. After some years the matter was settled by the Cincinnati house allowing the southern Methodists to have their share of the property based on the relative number of communicants' I do not recall the amount of money that was paid to the southern branch' put with this money the house was estap- lished at Nashville. A regularly chartered company was organized and the business was conducted successfully. The profits after paying all expenses went tc the fund for the support of superanuated ministers.
 When the war came, the Confeder- ate government being in need of print ing establishment took possession of the property, but employed the Metnooists to manage the business. In 1862 the Con federates gave it back to the publishing company. From tho time of the Union occupation of Nashville until 1864 the Methodists were in control of their prop erty. lFrcm 1864 until 1866 the publishing house was appropriated by the federal government, and used Tor It's military printing When the company came in control again t found that the presses and the stock of white paper and books were damaged to the extent Of over $4OO,- coo.
 This damage was the basis Of the Methodist claim, and it was certainly a just claim. When bill was prepared for Congress early ir the seventies the northern Congrt ssmen laughed at 1t. The feeling in the north was then very oit- ter against the south. and especially against the southern Methodists.
 
 '"rhe claim was never pressed until about 1886. Senator Morgan was chairman of the subcommittee On claims, and he presented a strcng report in it's favor.
 But sectionalism was still in evidence, and the bill had no chance.
 Tn 1893 bill was presented and efforts were continued until Congress appropri- ated s26S,000 for the settlement of the claim. The entire amount of over $400e0O should have been paid, but as usual the committee cut in down. The Methodists, however were only too glad to get any thing.
 Then came the so-called scandal It seems that MT. E. B. Stahlman. formerly second vice president of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, had got fee of SOS, 900 from the publishing house in pay ment for his services for lobby work. This fact came out in the general con- ference held in Baltimore In 1898. After paying attorneys fees, including the amount that went to MT. Stahlman, the publishing company got only about s150- 00O'

Badness.

There is no way to prevent badness said a well-known barber. T have nat uraIly given a great deal of thought to the question and I have read pretty much everything that has been written by scientific men on the subject. Scien- tiic specialists have come to the conciu- sion that nothing can be done to keep the hair from falling out when 1t is so dis posed.
 Some people used to think that the decaying of the roots of the hair was sign of poor health or the precursor ot nervous break down. But Of course' everybody knowns from observation that many frail peop.e never get bald Men afflicted with nervous prostration usually have thick hair. On the other hand the most robust men lose their hair early In life Several scientists have devoted the best part of their time to the study or follicles with the view of finding reme- dy that would prevent them from closing up, but to no avail"

 A certain Alabama newspaper received here prints request from some man resi- dent at Galloway Mines that the news paper inform Senator Pettus that 5000 laboring men of Alabama are resolved to prevent the Senator's reelection. The newspaper in question, apparently speak ing for itself, declares that Senator Pet tus opposed the Chinese exclusion bill, and inferentially therefore organized la- Dor in the State would work to prevent Senator Pettus' reelection by the forth coming Legislature.
 This apparent misunderstanding or mis- construction of the attitude of Senator Pettus does him grave injustice. he Senator did vote against the Chinese ex- clusion bill as it was passed by the House in a wild panic and without proper dis cussion or reconsideration, and in the end without any opposition whatever. This astounding action of the House was at the time dwelt upon at length In this cor respondence and the mischievousness and hurtful madness of 1t all were pointed out by almost every newspaper in America It was stated fin this place, and in every place, that the passage of the House bin by the Senate was impossible and ought in common sense to remain impossible; that it was the most striking manifestation in recent times of legisla-
