New EnuIand Cotton Mills.

The impending strike in the Lowell, Mass, cotton mills, affecting fully 20,- 900 operatives, is an attempt by the textile union to make mill men at all centers of activity pay similar wages. The Fall River and New Bedford mills are paying higher wages by about 10 per cent than the other mills in New England, and the object of the forth coming strike is to advance the wages in all other New England centers to the Fall River and New Bedford standard
 The organization of the United Textile Workers is standing behind and supporting the local strikers, and q long and stubborn contest seems to be coming on. The plea of the man. ufacturers is that they cannot advance wages to MT. Borden's limit and he able to contend with the cheap la bor conditions existing in the south. |" Mir. Borden seems to have no trouble in contending with southern labor, and the plea of the manufacturers thus stands discredited by the operatives.
 The strike in New England is to be fought out to the bitter end, but for tunately it will not affect the price of the crop while any remains in farm CTS hands. The spectators and out side holders will feel 1t, perhaps, but no farmer in the south is now pe- cuniarily and directly interested in the price of the remainder of the crop.

Maj. John w. Johnston Here.

Maj. John w. Johnston, fomerly of Bir- mlngham and now living in Richmond Is at the Hillman hotel He will be here for a few days visiting some of his relatives and looking after some of his business interests.
 Major Johnston was one of Birming- hams most public spirited and popular citizens He was commander of Camp Hardee, U. c. V, and one of its most active members. He will probably be present at the meeting of the camp next Saturday, April 1, and urge that 1t take up the matter of erecting the monument to the confederate soldiers and sailors in Capital park.
 Major Johnston was the prime mover in the erection of the Camp Hardee cottage at Mountain Creek. He stated last night that he was very much gratfied at the harmonious and enthusiastic manner in which the camp had been working. He believes 1t will take up the monument matter and work as faithfully for that enterprise as it did for the cottage.

AN ALABAMA OAK.

From the Kansas City World.
 When you are marveling at the vitality of that grand old man of Rome, Pope Leo, don't forget that we still grow oaks In this country.
 There is Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama who has done the greatest work of his life when he had passed the allotted days of man. He is the canal champion. He has fought more and harder for the Nicaraguan route than any one man before the public.
 He is about SO if you count years. But why count years with some men? Meas ure acts. The New York Sun has com piled figures on MT. Morgans work that cause wonder and amazement
 The fight of this Alabama senator's life came after he was 75. He has argued, project that seemed fraught with more for America than any enterprise in the countrys history.
 In four sessions of congress his speeches and writings have aggregated 1.SO7. 900 words. In the first session of the fifty seventh congress he made thirty-four speeches containing 21G,OOO words.
 Shakespeare's works contain less than 90O'0OO words. In twenty-four years Gib- bon, the wonderful produced about 1,oOo.- GOO words
 John T. Morgan, "old man." surpassed them both easily. and did it at a time when most men are thinking about dy ing and caring little about enterprises. great or small.
 Oh, yes, the party papers have called him a 'jawsmith" and an obstructionist because he opposed the Panama pur chase. They haven't denied that he was able armed to the teeth with facts. a lighter who asked no odds because of age and who was and is able to take care of himself.
 He is an oak. and we cannot breed too many of his kind in Ansrica

Daily AnnoYances.

''The business men of the city. partic- ularly the bankers, are daily annoyed by a goodly number of persons seeking as- sistanee for various objects" said the member of a banking firm who is known to be pubic-spirited and generous:
 Yesterday several different committees called on us one desiring a contribution for the erection of a school house at Compton, Ala; another for an advertis- ment or contribution for some church ex- tension at Bessemer; another for a con- tribution to church at West End, and yet another with tickets for a ball shortly to be given. This is but one days experience, saying nothing of the regular beggars who call for small dona- tions for drinks, etc."
 We have of late heard complaints going up from every quarter of this wholesale begging. In great many instances the merchants and business men are forced to give to these various causes purely as a matter of policy, and not because the object appeals to them as charitable or worthy. It is nothing more than a sys- tenn of hold up l am inclined to think that contributions should be made by individuals just in such channels as they prefer, but most business men are like l am. They do not like to be waited on by committees during the busy hours of the day"

FRANCE AND THE PEANUT.

From the Washington Times
 Can 1t be that the hot roasted pea nut ss destined to be to France what the baked bean is to Boston? Strange things have been unearthed by the state depart ment, but none stranger than that the Yankees pet fruit is rapidly becoming the Frenchman's perpetual delight.
 The American "goober'' has already stormed the French vaudeville theatres and opera house, and the latest ad- vices declare that 1t is successfully hold ing the fort against all corners The floors of popular restaurants are carpeted with the shells, and the walks in the pub- lie grounds are speckled with the shucks.
 Marseilles alone consumed 10000 bags of the American dainty and loudly called for more. The merry note of the roast CTS whistle is heard on the street cor ner, and every day is circus day over there.
 It seems however that a plebeian pro- duct from Africa Is having the audacity to question Americas supremacy as the peanut country of the world. It is cheap, this African peanut, and on that score it appeals to a frugal and indiscriminat ing public.
 But cultivated taste declares unreserv- edly for the American nut, regardless of expense Score another triumph for our glorious institutions.

Walklnn as an Exercise

All sorts of things have had their day, or boom, as it is now called, and even the exercise of walking is re- ceiving wide attention, and this at tention may rise to such height that it will be considered a boom.
 Among the advocates of walking as a means of improving ones condition is the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which sums up the advantages of walking for the improvement alike of the health and the mental and moral state. It says these results would be accom- pllshed by walking;
 "1 The abatement of profanity, melted by long waits for cars.
 "2 The saving of wear and tear on the conscience
 g. The preservation of nerve force otherwise expended in futile railings at the street car service.
 A. The upbuilding of the public health through daily activity.
 "5 The avoidance of foul air in cars of being jostled by 149 other occupants of the vehicle, of being tramped on by the conductor, of having clothes ruined and temper ruffled
 e. No more being late at the office on account of blockaded cars.
 '7. The arousing of civic pride in the minds of pedestrians forced to use bad sidewalks and muddy crossings. l "S A determination to vote for men pledged to alter these conditions.
 @ Frantic efforts on the part of the street car companies to regain the pa tronsge lost through pedestrianism, and through this
 '1O The guarantee of a seat to every passenger.
 "11. Better running schedules.
 "12 The abolition of the street car strap.
 '1S. The use of life saving lenders.
 "14 Reduction of the appalling death rate which now obtains, and
 '15. The perfection of street car ser vice in general"
 1t is plain from a reading of this schedule that St. Louis has street-car troubles that Birmingham Is not fa- miliar with but nevertheless just plain every day walking is as beneficial gen erally speaking in one town as an other If two persons living within three miles of their employment would agree to walk to and from their work every day, the results would be import ant in the aggregate, financially, men tally, physically, socially and in civic sense. The boom in walking may dis appear like other booms, but while it lasts it will be beneficial, salutary and wholesome.

THE DRINK BILL OF A NATION.

From the New York World.
 It cost the people of this country $1, 369, . O9S,276 for stimulants in 1902. Of this amount s196, 5SS 04l went for coffee, tea and cocoa, and of this trio King Coffee collected $l49s ,o3O,
 In 1880 we drank for the year 1909 gal Ions per head of alcoholic beverages; in 1902 our thirst sent us up to 19.4S gallons, an increase of over 93 per cent.
 In the same period our coffee consump- tion increased about 52 per cent-from s.7S pounds to 1887 pounds per capita while tea dropped from 1.99 pounds to 9i of a pound, decrease of nearly IS per cent
 The American Grocer from whose an- nual summary these figures are taken estimates that alcoholic stimulants cost in 1902 about 19 cents per day each to their users, who are estimated at d quar- ter of the entire population. That would make nearly five cents a day for each man, woman and child. In Great Britain the average is nearly six cents per head or for family ok five S1Oi per year.
 In tables showing the consumption of alcoholic drinks per capita year by year for the last decade 1t is shown that pros perity sends the figures up. We drank each 1.S6 gallons of spirits, .6s of wine and 1749 of beer in 1902 as against 1.ol, PC and 15.SS gallons in 1S06 and these lat ter returns were a drop from 1.52, AS and 1920 in 1893.
 Evidently a period of depression does not drive us as a nation to drink.

serious matter, relating directly, as it does, to the credit and standing of the British empire. Not since 1870 has the price of consols fallen so low, and the quotations of United States bonds look high in comparison. Our per cents are worth 136, and our 2 per cents at least 107 But German 3 per cents are worth but 91&; French per cents, 991a; Russian 4 per cents, 1021a; Spanish per cents, BIS; Japanese per cents, Ss; Brazil ian 4 per cents, 791a; and Peruvian 6 per cents, S1. It will thus be seen that Great Britains credit Is still as high as that of other countries, the United States alone excepted. The credit of this country is exceptional, the worlds wonder.
 In explaining the fall in the con sols, it should be remembered that heavy loans on account of South Afri- ca and Ireland are not alone involved. The interest rate is to be reduced on April 1 to 21a per cent, It is also freely stated that French investors are selling consols for the purpose of buying American railroad bonds. All these things have come together, and they have depressed the price of con- sols, but England is still sound and great, and a few years of careful man. agement, combined with peace will doubtless carry consols back to fair level, although it is not probable that England, weighted as she is, will ever be able to borrow money as low as the United States can today.
