Beauty and Strength.

Are desirable. You are strong and vigorous when your blood is pure. Many-nay, most women fail to properly digest their food, and so become pale, sallow, thin and weak, while the brightness, freshness and beauty of the skin and complexion depart. Remedy this unpleasant evil by eating nourishing food and taking small dose of Heroine after each meal to digest what you have eaten. Fifty cents at J. 1. Studivant's.

Gotten and Convict Labor.

The bull movement in cotton may be pleasant to Alabama cotton growers, but 1t is far from pleasant to the con vict inspectors, who have been notified by the lessees of the states cotton mill lAat they cannot turn raw cotton at present prices into goods at profit even when they have the advantage of cheap convict labor.
 This will throw upon the state the care and maintenance of the women convscts and the youthful convicts, be- sides the old and feeble convicts. Un- d.. the terms of the present contract the mill at Speigners is affording em- ployment to the women and children. The prices that the mill lessees agreed to pay were low, but they were high enough to show a net profit, and the shutting down of the mills renders the convict situation much less favorable.
 The mill in question was built during Governor Oates administration, and it has had many ups and downs since that time-rather more of the latter than of the former, for during the ad- ministrations of Governor Johnston it was closed. Governor Sanford leased the mill, and leased also number of ccnvicts, chiefly women and children, and it is the Sanford contract that Is to be terminated.
 If the decision of the mill lessees be final, and the convict inspectors can not find any one who is willing to use convict labor in the states cotton mill they will not be able to make as favor. able showing as they expected to be able to make at the emu of the calendar year.

EstImatIna the Growing cron.

The New York Commercial leads the way in guessing the new crop. It puts it at 11,OOO,OOO bales, or about a repetition of the crop grown last year and now nearly marketed.
 This estimate of the Commercial is based on reports drawn from each state. Texas reports a decrease in acre age that may be IS per cent and that will at any rate be 10 per cent. The crop grown by Texas last year will prove to be just about 2,50O,000 bales, and the Commercials correspondents put this years crop in the state at 100000 bales. The loss in acreage Is due to the increased acreage in corn, and the anticipation of a greater crop to the favorable effects of timely rains. The crop prospect is far better than it was one year ago.
 Mississippis acreage has been in- creased five or six per cent, but the crop prospect is not so good as it was one year ago. The cotton crop of Georgia is very backward, and the loss in acreage on account of cold or wet weather will be considerable. The Georgia crop promises to be less than that grown last year. The acreage is larger in Alabama, and large crop Is anticipated. The increase in acreage in Tennessee will be about five per cent, while in South Carolina there will be no material change. At present the crop prospect in South Carolina is not favorable.
 Altogether S1, ,00O,0 900 acres have been planted in cotton, or about one million acres more than were planted in cotton last year, but the Commercial declines to guess the crop at more than 11,000,- 900 bales. At the best 1t is an unpro- tected guess, and one mans guess is no better than that of the next man.

sway in the departmen, in the days of Rathbone and Nicely.
 At present the responsibility rests upon Postmaster General Payne, who is first and always a politician. He was formerly lieutenant of Mark Hanna, and MT. Roosevelt took him into the cabinet, because he could in that way weaken MT. Hanna and he could also gain the advice and skill of an expert political manipulator. He has been serving as a political expert, it is plain. He at any rate knew nothing of what was going on in his department, and corruption ran riot there, as dis closures to date show, and as future disclosures will perhaps make even more vivid.
 If President Roosevelt retains Mir. Payne in office, he should not here after complain if he is held account able for the astonishing condition in the postoffice department. Mir. Roose- velt's first act, when he arrives home, should be the dismissal of Postmaster General Payne, under whom the post office department has been most un- worthily conducted. With MT. Payne still in office 1t will not be possible to give the department the securing out 1t plainly needs. There are postal scandals in every part of it, and the more the department is probed the more numerous do they appear.
 No one questions MT. Roosevelt's in- tegrity. He is bluntly honest, and fear less withal. Let him bounce MT. Payne. and give orders to have every branch of the service investigated, and wher- ever rotten spot is found let the axe be applied from top to bottom.

Pilferlng Sermons.

Frequenters of the reading room of the British museum would be doing the au- thorities favor if they contrived to keep a quiet lookout for interruptions persons who have recently been cutting extracts from valuable books, says the London Express,
 This bad practice has been revived after the officials had been congratulating themselves upon stamping it out The books mutilated are in most instances volumes of sermons Usually whole dis courses are plucked out, this being ap- parently easier than the process of cut ting extracts, which would bring a knife or scissors into view.
 On one occasion the text of a stolen sermon Is said to have been Thou shalt not steal" The sermons of Beecher Spur geon. Stopford. Brooke and Parker have been most in demand by these thieving vandals.

RACE QUESTION IN ALABAMA.

From the Baltimore Herald.
 The race question in Alabama Is at- tracing as much attention as In any state in the union. After hard work a constitution has been constructed which, it Is frankly admitted is designed to dis franchise the negro, and 1t will have that effect unless upset by the United States Supreme court An alleged system of ser- vitude has now been discovered In one section of the state by which negroes to keep out of jail for alleged crimes bind themselves to work out the value of fines advanced by white men, the alleged crimes being brought up again in one form or another until the servitude runs on for years United States secret service men are now Investigating this matter.
 In another part of the state a large body of land has been bought to found colony in which none but white men will be allowed to live. Alabama Is thus putting Itself forward as an experimental state for the benefit of other southern commonwealths. Meantime the negro works along making cotton and accumu- lating some property.

PATRIOTIC.
From Life.


 When I proposed forming lodge of the new Patriotic Order of American second-Men (minute-men always seemed to me too slow for America), I was laughed at by those who claimed to know the village thoroughly well.
 There's no. material here" objected they. Patriotism Is dead"
 I thought knew better.
 Before I had been canvassing twenty four hours, I found five men and six women who were dying to be prominent. yet did not enjoy working. Of these formed the nucleus of the lodge. To be sure there were only nine offices to be filled, but I got around that by speak ing vaguely of the two delegates which 1t would be necessary to send to the na- tional assembly of the order each year.
 The next day discovered eight polti- clans who would do anything for a vote. enrolled them as ordinary members.
 Still was not content. I kept begging away, and in the course of a week l who had heard of the Monroe doctrine, had no idea what it was, and believed 1t to be in great danger. These brought the total membership up to forty-four.
 It was precisely ten days after I set foot in the place that I organized the new lodge.
 Of course patriotism was not dead.

JOE WHEELER AT NEW ORLEANS

From the New York Times.
 We have learned on the very best of authority-that of Gen. Joseph Wheeler himself-that there was a lamentable amount of what MT. Clemens, when he felt like 1t, would call "exaggeration" In our recent dispatch from Atlanta telling how the general appeared in a blue uni- form at the reunion of ex-Confederates at New Orleans. and was in consequence the object of so many and so vigorous mani festations of disapproval that he hastily left the city. This was a tale disquieting in several ways, especially because 1t was sure to start most improbable arguments, both north and south among people with memories inconveuiently long and vocabu- laries dangerously rich in knobby adjec- lives. The regret which we first felt that such an episode had occurred has now, however, been changed to regret that a misinformed correspondent betrayed us into giving publicity to his misinforma- tion. The generals blue uniform did not excite the hostility of the assembled ex- Cohfederates for the very good reason possibly only one among several other reasons, also very good-that he did not wear 1t when he fore-gathered with them, but dressed himself in the mathematical garments of ordinary life. So the whole story falls to the ground, and nobody will be compelled either to criticise Gen eral Wheeler for lack of tact In wearing the blue on an occasion when gray was the fashion, or to denounce the southern veterans for revealing the opinion that there are times and places when and where the uniform of the United States army Ill becomes loyal citizen of the United States. There was no fault any where except for ourselves, and people who are charitable and kindly will say that even that fault was rather a mis- fortune. We can't say so ourselves, but we can think it--or will be able to in little while, when the edge of our grief has been blunted.
