THE SHIP TRUST.
Other Ship Interest Believed it is Co.,
 ing to the Bal

ing to the Bal
 Mobile Register.
 There are in the harbor now several biz English steamers-tramps. It has always been a conundrum why they are called tramps. but so it is, even though they are magnificent vessels, equipped in the modern manner. with electricity and every comfort for the officers and men. and with tremendous carrying capacity. A number of the captains of these boats were talking shop together the other forenoon, when the matter of J. Pierpont Norgan's shipping combine came up. It was the unanimous belief that this fnan- cial venture Is as successful as we'll could be, and that tho reason it had not already fallen through is because it .ist being kept up by terrific drains upon the funds of the stockholders. IL Is known that the vessels ol the combine are laid up weeks at time because they cannot get cargo, and when they do go out it Is often to be loaded at a ruinous rate. It is the gem eral belief on the English coast that the White Star line will withdraw at the first of the year at any rate, and possibly sooner. A letter from a well known Lon don shipping merchant was read, saying that the Morgan company had sent two of its 9,000-ton vessels in the Mediterran- can trade in place os the 20O0 and 3O0O- tonners that have hitherto sufiiced. This it was pointed out, Is done only to keep the vessels in commission, and the cap tains all took snifter on the agreement that the big combine Is ir its last stages and that it's disintegration is oLly a mat ter of few months.

Disruption of the Party.

Charleston News and Courier,
 sn Clark noTs es Ts by Ts. when he was in New York the other day. on his way home from a brief vacation spent in Canada.
 MT. Howell had to say something, of South, and naturally expressed his dis approval of Mir. Cleveland, whose nom ination for President, in Mir. HowelPs opinion, ..is not within the realms of serious considsrataon.s Mir. Howell then laid down his ultimatum that Tho one can be nominated who was not loyal to its platforms. both seven and three years
 That is an interesting, if wild, state ment, but MT. Howell evidently believes It. He says that if MT. Cleveland should be nominated the result would be the most complete disruption of the party. the result in the North, but from Wash ington to Texas it would breed complete confusion, for 1t would be the signal for the revival of all the baleful isms that
 That I also is an interesting. if wild and incohent, statement. "Afl the baleful isms" of which MT. Howell speaks as dividing the party forces are to be found In the platforms of the Demecratic party yet. according to Mir. Howell. no one can be nominated who was not loyal to these 'sbaleful isms." If the party is to be disrupted on that account, nothing could be better for the party and for the coun- try, and particularly for the South. One of the hardest conditions existing in the South since the Reconstruction period has been tho condition which compelled the party to stand together on political and economic issues, whether the judgment of the voters approved of the declara- tions of the party platforms or not; and if the platforms which resulted in the defeat of the Democratic party. in two Presidential eelctions, and which have cut the South out of any participation in the affairs of the National Government for eight years, are to be reaffirmed and to be made the test of mans eligibility to nomination for office, 1t would be better in the interest of the South and the country for ''the most complete dasrup- ton of the party
 If Bryanism Is to control in the next campaign of the National Democratic party, 1t will be worse than in vain for the party to attempt contest at the polls. Of course the white people of the South will stick together. The circum- stances are such that they cannot divide, but the South cannot elect a President whatever his platform. and the rest of the country will net permit the election of any candidate, who was loyal 10 the party and its platform both seven and three years ago." The sooner this fact Is appreciated by the leaders of Demo- cratic thought in the South the better for the South and the country.

TEE COTTON CROP

The Commissioners of Agriculture of khe Cotton States were in annual session here last week. They are careful and capable men. and their lives have been devoted to farming. During the past few months they have sent out thousands of requests to farmers fin the different cotton regions for estimates of the cot kon crop now being gathered. They com pared and compiled the information re- ceived from the answers and their con- Elaeion is entitled to unusual consIdera- kion. We believe they have had better Eaeiiities for getting at the facts than any other men and The Advertiser Is will fng to make the prediction that their es- Elsmate will be nearer correct than any others that have been made. They es- Eimate 1047l.OOo bales as the crop of 1SOs- pL We do not believe that it will go be- yond those figures.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER II, 1908.
A CHEAT MEETING.

The meeting of Agricultural Commisr sioners of the Southern States, recently in session in this city, was unusually im- portant and interesting. Commissioner Poole conferred distinct favor upon, the farmers and stock raisers of the State by inducing the Commissioners to meet this year in Montgomery. What was said at the meeting ought to be published if pos- sibie. in pamphlet or bulletin and widely scattered.
 The attendance was not limited simply to the Commissioners, but scientific men, learned in many branches appertaining to farming and kindred pursuits were here. Presidents of Agricultural Colleges. State Chemists. Directors of Agricultural Stations. representatives of the Agricul- tural Department at Washington. men skilled in methods for inducing immigra- fi6n. able veterinary surgeons and oth- ers deeply interested in the objects of the meeting delivered addresses and made many wise suggestions.
 It was plainly shown tlat the Southern States possessed advantages for farmers and stock raisers far beyond those en- 5oyed by other portions of the Union. Some of the unequal laws against which we have to contend were pointed out and steps taken towards overcoming them. The Advertiser published full reports of all that was done by the meeting. but feels that Its importance and the benefits conferred should be further emphasized.
 Commissioner Poole was elected Presi- Bent. and he will bend all his energies to- wards getting up stfll more useful and successful meeting next year. which will be held at Baton Rogue La.

The Kansas City Journal can hardly be nlassed among the admirers of Kipling and his verses. It refers to him as "the nnief of poetic slang-mongers. and the bons pen pusher of all those who deal in literary hogwash. ridiculous rot and the Fascination of verbal sound" That is pretty rough on Buddy. but shall we ar wue with The Journal on its taste? Un- doubtedIy Kipling has written some good poetry. It is equally beyond doubt that some of his jangles have about as much poetry as could be found in the rattling of g handful of pebbles in tin pan.

It is lowed by a steamer which conveys it from point to point. wherever it may be desired to make an ascension. It also contains the neces- sary machinery for producing hydrogen and for manuevering the balloon. The crew com prises two officers and sixteen sailors.
 The balloon itself is to be used for ob- tainihg information along the coast fin the defense of the latter. and will prove valu- able adjunct to the usual service of security and informatio

The other day a young man winked at a pretty girl on one of the cars and she promptly planted her fist in the offending optic. af- ter which he was hustled off the car with as little ceremony as possible.

ISSUING ORDERS TO THE PRESS

There have been some curious develop ments In connection with the Labor Day parade in New York, in which so many working men refused to march because Sam Parks was to be one of the leaders. At meeting of the Central Federated Union of that city a resolution was in- troduced which was aimed to discourage such general participation by organised labor in the parade ''as might be con- strued by the enemies of labor as an at tempted vindication of the convicted walking delegate, Parks"
 This resolution was tabled, but the fact that thousands of union labor men re- fused to march behind Parks in the pa- rade shows that they were at heart in fa- vor of some such action as the meeting refused to adopt. But the members of that Federated Union went long step beyond that when they adopted the fol- lowing resolution, by which they hoped to keep the outside world from knowing anything about their action on the Parks matter. The resolution they adopted reads:
 Resolved. That the newspapers be or- dered not to publish the resolution offered by Delegate Kaufman. which calls upon labor men not to participate in the Labor Day parade; and be 1t resolved, that. if any newspaper does print 1t, hereafter the representative of such newspaper be barried from attending any of the meet ings of the Central Federated Union.
 In country where free speech is still supposed to obtain, and where newspa- pers are expected to publish the news. this will strike the reader as partalxing very much of the methods of Russia or China, except that there the absolute ruler gives orders to the newspapers while in New York it was done by those who were supposed to be private citizens and who had neither the right to give orders to the papers nor the power to en. force them.
 The imprudence of such action is hardly to be conceived. The belief that the great newspapers of New York would receive and obey orders from any union. or from any association of union men shows the degree of intolerance reached by some of these unions. The threat to bar such newspapers from their meetings may have been regarded by those who made 1t as an effectual way of dealing with the press but it only showed their ignorance of newspaper enterprise and independence. as well as their own lack of judgment.

It is admitted that money or forbear- ance may be worth more than s per cent. and perhaps 1t would be better if we had a contract or conventional rate of inter est which could be charged and collected by agreement between the parties. but when we have no law of that kind we fail to see the right or justice of holding one person down to per cent while another may charge ten or twenty times that amount. There ought to be some method of protecting the unwnry as well as the needy. and The Columbus Enouirer-sun suggests this:
 There may be no present law that will afford relief, but we believe that the suggestion made In The Enquirer-Sun few days ago would meet the emergency. That was that whenever it can be shown that such usurious interest is charged the usurer be made to forfeit both principal and Interest. This might be considered a rather drastic law, but 1t would work no hardship upon any honest man, and 1t would hurt the usurer no worse than he at present hurts his unfortunate victim.

An Invitation to Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, Aug. 17.-Kind sir or
madam, did you ever live in Cincin-
natl? Do the memories of your
childish days carry you back to
long tramps among the green Mills
of Eden Park, picnics in Burnett
Woods, swims in the canal, skating
on the basin, and a thousand other
diversions of a care-free, happy
childhood, in the old home? Per-
haps you have sought fame and
fortune in other cities, deeming the
measure of Cincinnati too small for
your dawning ambition. Well and
good; but come to the old home in
September and celebrate the Fall
Festival with us, for we have some
things to show you that are worth
seeing and a royal welcome awaits
you. On The remembered sites of
old houses and dingy shops, you
will see the magnificent new build
ings, some under construction,
some, the skyscrapers, lnterrogat-
ing the very heavens. You will ob-
serve the only concrete building in
the land, an experiment in construc-
ton, that has focused the eyes OF
the building world on Cincinnati.
Over a network OF trolly lines, the
swift cars will! bear you along those
country roads, known erstwhile to
your weary childish feet, long ave.
nues now, these same roads, bor-
dered with hundreds of happy
homes, smiling among green lawns.
Our most distinguished men will
welcome you, and we will banquet
you, carry you in procession, show
you our Fall Festival and our great
industrial Exposition, and will
proudly exhibit to you new and
greater Cincinnati, of which per.
haps you know nothing, but with
which we desire you to become &C.
quainled. On Home Corners Day
Sept. eth, we expect to see you il
old Cincinnati From east, from
west, remember, Homes Best
