More Than Two Ihousand

This county has been building 2000 houses year, beginning in 1899. In 1898 we had not got under full mo- tion, but in the four years that fol lowed 5000 houses, big and little, have been built in this county, affording shelter to 40,000 people, for the aver. age house holds five persons. Forty thousand represents the growth of the county in the four years, 1S99-1902, in elusive Any close observer, who knows the entire county, will not put the growth of the county in the four years at lesser figures.
 And now the architects, contractors and real estate men say that the year 1903 is to outrun all the rest in the respect of new buildings. Plans have been made for many fine residences, and two expensive skyscrapers are in course of construction. In all parts of the county smaller residences are go- ing up, scores of them, and in this respect Jefferson is unique. When the mineral industry of the county is pros- porous, houses are built in all parts of the county, and today new roofs peep up in every nook and corner of the broad territory, for there is not beat that is not in touch with some mine, mill or furnace. Fully one-half of the beats of the county contain coal or iron ore, or open and productive mines.
 The estimates of the real estate men are not exaggerated. This is to be a record year in point of new buildings and probably in the respect of the To- cation of new industries. All see that an Open Warrior and an isthmian canal will give this district founda- tion that even hard times cannot un- settle. When hard stimeg come this district wilfs be ready to make iron and steel against all the rest of the world, and our prosperity will go on without serious impairment. This is why capitalists are hurrying to put money into buildings in this city and district There is no better or safer investment in this country today.

Ward Registration for the Primary

In order to prevent a registered voter from doing the repeating act at the approaching primary the demo- cratic city executive committee has provided for the registration of each voterin his own proper ward. To that end books of registration will be and they will be kept open each day during period of ten days. Ward cer- tificates of registration will be issued to all qualified democratic applicants.
 He would be a poor citizen indeed who would not aid the city executive committee to head off repeaters. A short walk is all that is required in any case, and no reasonable citizen will refuse to do his part towards the making of ward lists of qualified voters on just and honest basis. ssq No one can be registered in the wards unless he holds life certificate Issued by county registrars under the temporary registration plan of the new constitution, and unless he holds re- ceipts for poll taxes that became de- linqnent on the two previous Octobers The latter demand does not of course apply to those over 45 years of age, but it does apply to all who are be- tween tie ages of 21 and 45.
 The plan of the democratic city ex. ecutive committee is wholly reasona- ble, and wholly prudent, and every qualified voter in the city should readily conform to it. and should aid the committee by inducing his neigh bsrs to do likewise. This is a matter of no small importance, as all are deeply interested in having the coming primary, like Caesars wife, above sus- piciOn

Poor Pine Lands in Alabama

Professor Ferris of the government service at McNeill Miss, thinks the pinelands of the south, like the sandy lands of California, can be made very productive, and that it is mistake to think otherwise. They thought other wise in California long time, but now the agricultural products of that state far,outrank in value all it's other ] products.
 Professor Ferris is very practical. ! Located at McNeill, in the heart of the pine district of Mississippi, he has studied the case closely. Some of the clements of plant life have to be sup $plied, but when they are placed in the soil of the pine belt careful cultivation brings out fine results. He goes on to show that "an application of 65 cents worth of acid phosphate increased crops $9; and $6 worth of phosphate and cotton seed caused an increase in crop values of BPS. Beans returned $51 to sS0 per acre; sweet potatoes planted on the same land made from 14O to 164 bushels per acre, worth from $7O to $S2, making total yield of from $121 to $162 per acre on 'poor pinelands," and what was true of these crops was found equally true of cot

ton, corn, eowpeas, sugar cane, aspara- gus, strawberries, beans, tomatoes, eggplants, peanuts and watermelons. No lands In the south respond better to fertilizers or yield more bountifully in crops than those in the pine woods, and this makes them specially adapted to raising stock along with the staple crops"
 The pine lands of Alabama, unlike those of California, do not need irrl- gation, but they do need certain fer tilizers, and when these are put in the soil they become very productive, especially in fruits and early vegeta- bles. No doubt the soil survey of Mo bile county will make this plain, and if the survey could be extended to a piney woods county higher up in the state much good might be accom- plished.
 It is at any rate mistake to as sume that the pine lands are valueless when the lumber Is cut t-off. They can be made very productive, and if the white people of the south will not take hold of them the white people of the north will, and they will make them yield handsome and remunerative crops.

TO GO SOUTH FOR PARKER.

From the New York Tribune.
 The friends of Chief Justice Alton B. Parker of the Court of Appeals are not disposed to allow Richard Olney of Mas sachuetts to work up a presidential boom at the expense of the judge. The Olney talk heard has stirred up the Parker men In New York. It was learn ed last night that two well known local democrats, presumably with the permis- sion and knowledge of Judge Parker, starts for Washington and the south on a missionary tour in his behalf. The plans of the Parker men are secret as yet but as soon as they get away the purport of their errand will be announced and there will be- 1t was said, more talk about Judge Parker for the democratic presidential nomination
 Judge Parker is to address the Georgia State Bar assocition in June. By that time, his friends say, 1t will be known generally that he Is regarded by many prominent New York democrats as an eligible candidate for the democra tic nomination, and his address will be sig nificant
 The closeness of the governorship vote last fall has greatly stimulated the friends of Judge Parker. The southern trip of the missionaries Is on the sug- gestion both of New York and Georgia friends of the judge. It is not unlikely that the latter will make an extended trip in the southern states A number of his friends in Texas have urged him to visit that state, and if he should ac- cept their invitation he will make a stop in New Orleans.
 The friends of the judge count on his geographical advantage to outweigh the Olney arguments when the time comes to talk about delegates. Ex-Senator Hill knows of the movement being worked up for Judge Parker, and is trying to figure out the best possible results for himself in case the Parker boom should become formidable. Hill has good grip on the state organization, and doubtless could prevent the nomination of the chief judge If he wanted to do 1t. The iudge's friends say that there is no req son for his being antagonistc. as he 0IilD has no chance of getting the nom- ination himself.

The Saxon Throne.

"The escapade of the Crown Princess of Saxony seems likely to have more serious results than any one at first an- ticipated." said student of affairs. 'The features of her flight into Switzerland make this particular scandal far different from any of the others which have before arisen in royal houses; for it has become so absolutely public and has been so Haunted in the face of the whole world as to render any compromise impossible. Many strange things can be politely ig- nored by kings and courts, and some can be officially denied and superficially forgotten. But the Crown Princess Louise has really put herself beyond the pale.
 'Hence 1t Is that the most drastic meas ures have been resolved upon. Her im- perial titles which she derives from Aus tria, have been stripped from her by or der of the emperor, and even her right to certain hereditary titles of nobility Is to be annulled. Finally, the High court assembled at Dresden is certain to grant an absolute divorce to her husband, the crown prince. Unfortunately however, for the Saxon dynasty, all these meas- ures do not simplify the situation at the Saxon court.
 "The royal house of Saxony Is devoutly Catholic, and therefore, while the decree of the high codrt constitutes a legal an-' nument of the marriage, it has no va rdity whatsoever in the eyes Of the Ro- man church. Consequently the crown prince could not marry again, and from the ecclesiastical point of view the Prin- cess Louise is still his wife. But as the old king is very near to death it Is possi- ble at any moment that the crown prince may be summoned to ascend the throne. This would create an intolerabe state of things, since the dsgraced woman. who is now an outcast from her country and her home, would none the less be queen of Saxony. And even should she sink to greater degradation, she would not for felt her claim to be considered the new kings consort.
 Such condition of affairs as this would be simply uncomfortable to millions of South Germans who possess so strong hereditary reverence for royalty and for everything pertaining to It. nence it is said that the very strongest pressure is being brought to bear upon the crown prince to renounce his right of succession In favor of his younger brother, who is a minor"

SOCIALLY IMPOSSIBLE" !"

From the New Orleas Times-Democrat.
 It is right that southern senators and southern members of the house of rep resentatives feel that they have been insulted by MT. Roosevelt. Knowing as he does the views of the southern peo- pie respecting this question, he should at least have advised guests invited from the south that, in case they at tended the reception, they would be re- quired to meet negroes on plane of social equality. The Presidents failure to do this. supplemented by his declared views regarding racial social equality, makes MT. Roosevelt hereafter in all personal relations. socially impossible to Caucassians of the southern states. Inas- much as he has put up the bars between himself and the white people of the south. the white people of the south will see to it that the bars are not taken down.
