 Paris Special Cable to New Orleans
 Times Democrat.
 During the last year France has used in its factories 45L 100000 pounds of raw cotton of which 165. .OO0,0OO were furnished by the United States. It is evident that such demand is not likely to be sup piled, even in any considerable part for many years to come by hitherto unculti- vated regions. But the examples of wheat in America. of coffee in Brazil and os sheep in Australia show what rapid changes modern means and methods are able to make in the worlds production. From the beginning the new French Colonial Cotton Association" has found means to interest the government in it's work, which has been divided as follows: The association reserves to itself the ex perimental study and organization of all details. concerning the industrial and com mercial side of the problem-the practical gathering and packing of the crop and the establishment of permanent market with France. The government. with it's body of trained specialists, undertakes the scientific experiments in soils and re- gions. In quality of product and introduc- | ton of the new cultivation among natives ! and colonists.
 The government has begun it's worl l first. It has already opened two expert mental stations-one in the Senegal Val

 When His Blood Was Hot and He Regrets the Tenn per Displayed.

Selma, Sept. 3.-(Special. .)-Since Edi- tor J. H. Nunnelee of The Selma Times, addressed an open letter to Governor JeIks through the columns of his paper last Saturday morning about the ap- pointing of Col. W. W. Quarles of this city, a notary public. he has considered that he was too harsh to Governor Jelks, and through the columns of The Times this morning makes the following manly apology:

I realize now that I suf- fered myself to become too much aroused over such an infinitesimal matter.
 ''While still believing that your judg- ment was at error in requiring that of him. I concede that you had a perfect right to ask him to make personal ap- pIication. there being no law, other than custom, to govern you as to how man shall apply for these positions.

ever before. It is a difficult thing for a sensitive, high-strung man to own up, even in private, that he Is in the wrong. and 1t Is ten-fold harder to acknowledge the fact to the world, but shall do so, and will ask The Montgomery Advertiser, which published synopsis of my letter. and The Birmingham Age-Herald and The Birmingham News, which printed it in full. to give this letter a place in their columns, that the apology and re- traction may be read by all who saw the first article; thus making the amende honorable and giving the widest publicity possible to the retraction.
 You have been very kind to me. kinder, perhaps, than my poor merits deserved, and am deeply grateful for what you have done for me. At the time that I asked a favor at your hands I was In sore straits to support those dependent upon me. But thanks to kind Providence a rift in the clouds has come and now have the wolf staked away from my door. Hoping for you a successful admin istration and that you may retire from office with the we'll wishes of your friends and the plaudits of those who have crit icised you, I remain.
 Yours truly,

No Surprise in Scotland.

Glasgow, Sept. 3.-The announcement of the Reliance's victory was received here with feeling akin to relief that the long drawn contest was ended. The most sanguine Shamrock supporters did not expect the challenger to make more than a fair showing in to-day's race. Il is generally admitted that the whole fab ric of British hopes were built on the false assumption that Shamrock I was a decidedly better boat at the time o1 this years trial races than when she was beaten by Columbia off Sandy Hook. Uniform regret is expressed at Sir Thorn as Lipton,s failure after making such a persistent effort to secure the Americas C9n.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE

WVAA0 1616A16 ASSOCIATION. The president of the Woman Sunrage
 Association of Alabama, makes this call
 for the third annual convention. The third annual convention or the Suffrage Association of Alabama will be
 held in Montgomery. Sept. IS and l7, in- elusive, 1908
 It is especially appropriate that the ad- vocates of this important reform should
 assemble in the Capital City at the same
 time that the lawmakers of the State have convened for the consideration or the best interests of the State. Woman suffrage is no longer an exper- iment. and statistics show that the log ical conclusion of it's extension to wom- en of all English-speal<ing countries on the same terms as to men Is inevitable.
 That public sentiment is tending in this direction is clearly evident in the i'm creasingly favorable attitude .of the press, clubs, legislatures and universi- ties.
 It is therefore with courage and hope inspired by the glorious promise of the new century for the greater material and moral progress in all directions than the world has ever known, that the advo- cates of this measure which ultimately will affect the destinies of the whole American people. are called in conven- ton to review the work already done, to make plans for the future. to strengthen the old comradeship and greet new work
