A NEW DEPARTURE.

From the Talladesa Mountain Home.
 We understand that the governor has notified the candidates for railroad com missioners that unless they can move to Montgomery and give their entire time to the duties of the office, 1t will be in order for them to withdraw their appli- cations. The governor evidently expects the legislature to give the commissioners something to do.

At any rate the step taken at Fort San Carlos is both valueless to Ger many or the allies and vexatious to all the Americas,
 The other allies did not participate in the affair, leaving It wholly in the hands of the Germans, who sent in three cruisers of modern construction and gun power to batter down an an tiquated fort defended by equally an tiquated guns. The only defense of the fort is a slight depth of water on the bar. At the latest accounts the fort still had intact guns enough to sink the Panther if it attempts to en- ter the lake that Is near at hand.
 The uncalled-for attack upon Fort San Carlos should emphasize the de- sire for a raising of the blockade as a primary condition of any settlement of the claims that Great Britain, Ger many and Italy have discovered. This country should urge a lifting of the blockade on the ground that our trade is injured by 1t, while no good is ac- complished by it in any direction.
 The blockade cannot be long main tained without creating enough fric- ton to lead to serious trouble The German cruisers are as pigheaded as the German Emperor, and they may yet breed trouble along the Venezue- Ian coast

States

These are billion figures, Alabama having but 11,000, 100000 feet of stand ing timber, as against 46,000 900, ,000 feet in Mississippi, and 45,000,0 100000 feet in Louisiana. The three gulf states, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, hold three-fourths of the yell low pine in the country.
 The consumption figures of the gov ernment are conceded to be nearly correct, if 15 per cent be added to cover the local demand The annual cut is then made to stand at $500 ,000,- 900 feet, thus showing that the sup ply will last twenty years, always provided the annual cut is not in creased. The experts in the trade differ as to that, some holding that the maximum cut has been reached, while others insist that under the pressure of an increased demand it will be car ried to higher figures.
 As to the total cut in the country, MT. Long says: We have white pine, 60,000, 100000; yellow pine, 1S7,250, 100000; Pacific coast products, 595,- 00O,000,OO0 Total, S42,000,00000, di- vided by 20,6o0, ,00O,O ,OO0, equals about forty-one years life. At first glance it might seem we had no great reason to believe that our timber cut would advance very rapidly within the next ten or fifteen years, as from these fig ures 1t would seem that we should have good timber supply for nearly half a century but it must be re- membered that large proportion of the yellow pine timber is already in the hands of strong people, many of whom, at least, appreciate its value; people who have made for themselves great fortunes in the north out of sim liar investments. The same class of people, and even some of the same in- dividuals, are flocking to the coast in vesting their money In these lands, ap. preciating, as they must that when that timber has been exhausted there are no fields of like kind for further investment, and so, while they may not be able to turn these investments for any great profit within the next few years, they know just as sure as time shall last, that money thus in vested shall make for themselves, their children and their children's children, fortunes measured only in proportion to the amount invested. haven't the least doubt but money in vested in these lands and held for n period of ten years, will bring the holder at least six times its original cost, the present average being about 75 cents per thousand"
 MT. Long shows that already the timber supply in the south Is in strong hands. One-fifth of the Alabama lum- Der is owned, for example, "by four parties" Large holders who are non operators own two-thirds of the Mis- sissippi and Louisiana pine. Compara- lively few persons now control the great forests of the south.
