Fruits and uenetahles.

Up to June Crystal Springs, Miss,
had shipped $40 carloads of fruits
and vegetables. Crystal Springs is a
station on the Illinois Central Railroad,
about abreast of Birmingham, in the
central part of Mississippi.
Now, suppose every other station in
Alabama and Mississippi had shipped
up to June fruits and vegetables to
the extent of $40 carloads, what would
be the grand result? 1t would not op-
crate to lessen the corn or cotton crop
of either State. 1t would, In other
words, be so much clear gain to the
two States-a gain SO considerable
that both States would soon become
rich. prosperous and populous.
Why should we not coin our sun
shine and climate into dollars? Ma
ture intended these Gulf States to be-
come the seat of just such enterprises
as Crystal Springs has adopted. The
sun shines earlier and warmer here
than it does in the States north of the
Ohio river, and we have opportunities
that those States cannot compete with.
Their sunshine comes later in the
season. 1t comes after these Gulf
States have had surfeit of 1t.
We are not advocating the lessening
of the corn or cotton crops of the
State. There is no need to do that.
Both are later crops. But we ask every
locality to initiate Crystal Springs by
shipping as supplementary crops, or
rather preliminary crops, $40 carloads
of fruits and vegetables. Take advant.
age of Alabama's sunshine and coin it
into dollars. There should be several
Crystal Springs in every Alabama
county. We are not awake to our
opportunities. Several promising To-
canties in this State have begun the
work, but it should become general, for
there is not an Alabama county that
cannot duplicate the work done this
year at Crystal Springs.

necessary to paint them when the build
ing was restored. White paint having
been selected. we have the white"
House to this day.
However illustrious the long line of the
Presidents, what we call good form has
not been always strictly observed in the
White House. The first Adams, who
was a gentleman in the restricted sense
of that title. so far forgot himself In his
hearty dislike of his more famous sue
cessor that he departed from Washing
ton before Inauguration s day to avoid
meeting the incoming President. And
the story. whether it be truth or fiction,
that Jefferson rode unattended to the
Capitol hitched his horse to a swinging
branch of a tree, and walked into the
Senate unceremoniously to take the oath
Of office, is not pleasing to recall. In the
refined social sense, Jackson must have
been very nearly intolerable. Buchanan,
who acquired considerable culture and
grace, once received some foreign wish
tors with his frilled shirtfront foully
stained by tobacco, which he chewed in
vouched for by noted Scotchman who
was Of the party received and who after
wards naively suggested the advisability
Of our Presidents wearing robes of office
in order to conceal their tobacco-chewing
habit. Under Lincoln good form was Of
course impossible; and Grant, like Jack
son, was extremely "horsey." johnson
was perhaps worse than either in his
disregard of the strict proprieties. Even
at state dinners given by Hayes in honor
of the diplomatic corps no wine was
served.
But ell Americans are justly proud of
the historic fact that in the main. In
Presidents have risen to the dignity and
the graces of their high office. no matter
what were their antecedents of previous
environments.

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT POLITICS
OF NATIONAL AND STATE IMPORTANCE

1t may be that Clevelanas old hatred
for Arthur P. German of Maryland leads
him to crawl from his ALTERNATING hole
and seek to assume a leadership for the
purpose of shatterlng the Marylanders
ambition. Cleveland despises German. On
the other hand Democrats in Congress
and those elsewhere who know the man.
look upon German as the ablest and most
available man In the Democratic party
for the PRESIDENTIAL nomination. In the
South and West he is the strong man
of the party. In New York he is stronger
than any New Yorker; and in New Jer-
sey and Connecticut he outranks any
other Democrat He is believed to be
the one man with whom we can win In
1904.
Certainly there is to be a Democratic
opportunity two years hence. The Re-
publican party Is suffering from severe
fracture. Roosevelt has rallied his party,
split it into factions and made himself
the antagonist of all the old-time Repub-
lican leaders. But with 1t all he has the
offices, and Nlereby the power to renomi-
nate himself. To defeat him depends
upon Democratic unity, and a man like
German, possessing the confidence of the
conservative American people, as the
Democratic candidate.

THE r1URr1UR OF THE WORLD.

And so in the old White House, In the
sound and confusion OF the tools Of car
penters and masons you dream peace
full hour away undisturbed-until there
comes the roll and rumble OF rapidly
driven carriage. You turn, and behold
Theodore Roosevelt!
Leaving the White House with its
memories and its dreams, I came imme-
diately upon a friend who has been a
newspaper correspondent in Washington
five and forty years and is therefore an
old man now. He gave me the latest
bulletin from the Kings surgeons. and
then proceeded to relate to me his recoi-
lections of the Kings visit as Prince Of
Wales to President Buchanan IN 1860.
The Prince slept In the White House.
and until quite recently the bedchamber
he occupied continued to be known as
the Prince of Wales room. Harriet
Lane Buchanan's beautiful young neice
was the mistress of the White House,
and it is interesting to note that she, as
the widowed Harriett-Lane Johnston,
WAS guest at the dinner recently given
in London by Ambassador Choate In
honor Of King Edward and Queen Alex
andra-
At the time OF his visit to Buchanan
the then Prince Of Wales was nineteen
years old. and according to my friend,
who saw good deal of him. che was a
fine. handsome boy. passionatcly fond Of
dancing. THE President gave q ban In
honor Of his royal guest, and the bali
was opened by the Prince and HARRIET
Lane. My friend, who was then q very
young man. was great favorite Of ''Old
Buck he refers to Buchanan and
was received daily by the President In
that way he came to meet the Prince OF
Wales, danced at his ball, and accom-
panied his party to Mount Vernon, where
the Prince planted a tree that is now
fifty feet high and stin growing. After
the Prince returned to England his
mother. the late Queen, wrote President
Buchanan "a long and beautiful letter
with her own hand" my friend assures
me. and that letter Is now In possession
Of Harriet Lane, who may have shown
1t to tho King at the ambassadors re-
cent dinner.
Alas for the King-alas for an human
glory! Whether its shadow be conjmed
up in the dismantled chambers Of more
than twenty Presidents. or it's substance

ne bulletins of the eminent sur
geons who are endeavoring to save the
life of King Edward are too indefinite
to be fully assuring. His pulse and
temperature are not mentioned, and
the NOSE they really say is, the King
still lives. If he clings to life to the
eighth or ninth day then all will be-
lieve he will escape death. To say
now, however, that he is out of dan
ger, is to assert what none know, for
the doctors do not permit any real
information to go out of the palace
where the King lies.
Queen Victoria passed away at Os-
borne on. the evening of January u,
1901, and Edward became instantly
King without an oath or any other GER
emory. He simply issued a royal
proclamation of about dozen lines in
which he announced a determination
to be constitutional sovereign and
to work for the good Of my people.
He has, therefore, been seventeen
months a King, and in that time he
has shown his desire to preserve the
best traditions of the throne. He put
his old life behind him and set before
n foc Of hnino a
head of the state in the English sense.
He reigns without governing, but even
this task Is an important one, and it
is the general belief that King Ed
wards influence has been felt In sew
eral directions, notably in the settle
ment of the Boer war. A King of
England can never again be its mas
ter; that belongs to the House of Com
mons, but it is a mistake to say that
a ming like Edward has no political in
fluence.
He served long time as apprentice
to the throne, and he knows all public
men, all rulers, and his personality, if
he lives, will certainly be felt. No
King was perhaps ever more popular,
and despite his sportive tendencies he
is respected throughout the English
speaking world. This brings to him
today the sympathies of all civilized
nations.
If he lives he will be crowned, no
doubt, in quiet manner, and the pro-
posed pageant is therefore lost for
ever. If he does not live the success
