A Nursery Tea.


When have cake and jam enough
For two or maybe three ~
beg Louise or Grace to come
To supper here With me.
But when there isn't very much.
And yet I'd like guest.
I'll tell you who's the incest one.
The pleasantest and best:
It's my dear Angelina Maud.
Cause when I move her up
In her high chair and set for her
A plate and spoon and cup
And things to eat she sits right there
With such lovely smile
And not one bit of appetite!
And when a long. long while
Has gone and still she doesn't touch
A mouthful then I say.
"I'll eat your share to save It,.
And she smiles and smiles away

Knives for AdvertisIna.

q have found that one of the best ad- vertising mediums that can be used in husiness is a small penkhife for free dis tribution bearing the name of the dealer, :" said a business man. 'I find that a knife is about the most useful article you can give the average man or woman and if YOU take care that your name is con spicious somewhere about it you may rest assured that it will do it's duty as an advertisement. A man may not read your advertisement in the street cars, on the bill boards or in the newspapers. but if YOU give him a knife worth having he will be sure to be reminded of the fact that you are in business every time he wants to use it.
 "A very clever scheme that 1t popular among large firms is to have penknives with celluloid handles, beneath which the narne-of the firm is printed In this way the advertisement will last as long as the knife, and some of these little knives are well worth having

cnndltlon of the Crops.

It Is not necessary to discuss the cotton crop, because 1t Is crop that is made for better or for worse in July and August The first two bales have, 1t Is true, been brought in, but two swallows do not make a summer, and two bales from southwest Texas are not an index to the crop.
 And so it is with corn In the great surplus corn states the crop is scarcely out of the ground. Much depends upon the corn crop. If there is to be a revival of prosperity after the presi- dential election, as all hope there will be, it will be based on a handsome corn crop, and the crop will be largely made this year in the great corn states. The south will not, even if the rest of the season be favorable, make as much corn as it did last year, simply because more acres have been planted in cotton and fewer in corn. This is regrettable, and there is no use of Ignoring the plain facts of the crop situation.
 A large corn crop is particularly de- sirable. because the wheat crop will certainly be short. The winter wheat crop, now practically made, stood, ac cording to the reports made to the department of agriculture, on June at TIT as against s22 at the corre- spending time of last year. All crops except oats are lower in condition than were those of year ago, and all ex- cept barley are lower than the ten year average.
 The winter wheat crop will doubt less be short of last years product, and the spring wheat crop is not very promising. The latter may turn out well. It has the rest of the summer to mature in, and favorable weather upon it may make good the known shortage in winter wheat. This is. however, improbable. And so all eyes are turned toward the corn crop, which must lift the country out of the busi- ness depression if it is to be lifted out in the present crop year.

Didn't Want the Nuts.

CT was guilty of patronizing so-caieo ,o,,vnon establishment the other day when ,,itrassed A rather amusing incident, v said a young man who is enjoying his vacation. "A fellow came in and sat down at A table near me who was ap- norentlv rather out of place in his sur roundings and In some doubt as to how ha sbould conduct himself. After some hesitation he decided that he would have ,ce cream. Being asked what kind or cream he preferred he replied he didn' | know there was but one kind, and said hiring me some of that.
 .The waiter hurried off and soon re- turned with a saucer of nut cream dainty that is popular with summer pal ates this season. The young fellow eyed if suspiciously for while. but he was too embarrassed to make any complaint SD he began to laboriously pick the nuts ont with his spoon and lay them on the side of his saucer. Noting the amused smiles around him, he gulped down a snoonful nuts and all. He evidently fopnd the mixture to his taste, for he devoured his saucer of cream hurriediy and sauntered out with a very satisfied tr

How LONG CAN JAPAN "sTIcK" ?

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The London Statist makes some inter esting comparisons. In 1793 the popula- ton of Great Britain and Ireland was be- tween 10. ,O00 and 16,0O0,000. That of Ja- pan today Is between 45O00,00O and 50, 000,- GOO. In 17s4 the exports from the United Kingdom aggregated sSO, 100000. Those of Japan in 1902 were valued at s127 %. In 1793 the national debt of Great Britain was $1,30000O,0O0. In 1903 that of Japan was about s27O,O0oOOo.
 The war between England and Napoleon lasted for about twenty-two years. At the beginning England had numerous al- lies, but one by one they were conquered | by Napoleon. and for a time she stood alone During the conflict she maintain- I ed in arms. including the auxiliary forces and the navy, about million men. So heavy were her expenses that she ran up a debt of over $3OOO,OOO, GOO.
 The question ls If England with smaller population and trade than Japan has. was able to keep up the fight against such an adversary as Napoleon for twen- ty-two years, how long should Japan be able to stand the cost of a war with Rus sia? England had the command of the sea. She could send her manufactures to all ports that were open to them. Ja- | pan has the command of the sea at this time, and her considerable trade cannot be interfered with. She has a powerful mercantile marine, varied manufactures. and considerable mineral wealth. Four years ago her factories employed over SSS,O 600 work people
 The Boers, being stubborn people, held out against overwhelming odds for l two and a half years. The English, being | equally stubborn and unyielding, fought Napoleon to the end. If the Japanese share the stayings power of Boer and Brit on. for how many years ought they to be able and willing to carry on war unmind- ful of increasing taxation and growing deht9

County School Taxation.

On Monday next Jefferson county will declare for or against better schools. If 1t declares for a county school tax under the limitations of the constitution of 1901, it will at least have the satisfaction of knowing that the tax money will be spent in this county, and that none will be sent away to Lowndes county to be manip- ulated in Lowndes fashion.
 The city schools in this county need more money. and the rural schools in 1t are fairly athirst for it. The latter 7 are maintained but few months in each year, and starvation wages are paid to the teachers. This rich and populous county cannot longer afford to foster illiteracy. Schools open nine months in the year are needed, and good teachers are needed in them
 County taxation is not local taxation. 1t does not bring the school home to the patron, as actual local taxation does. But the local taxation of the advanced states is forbidden by the constitution of 1901. Why it Is for bidden no one knows. No one has ever been able to ascertain. After the counties of the Lowndes sort had SC. cured big state school tax, and i'm bedded 1t in the constitution they should in all fairness have granted the privilege to the counties that desire local taxation. No one desires compul. sory local taxation, but in all reason and common sense each school dis trict should be permitted to supple ment other taxation to it's hearts content. It is mossbackism to say otherwise.
 But local taxation is forbidden, and county taxation can be utilized as a temporary relief until local taxation can be secured through a constitu- tional amendment, and Jefferson county will doubtless vote for it on Monday next.

Undesirable immigrants.

The Cunard, American, Holland American, Red Star, White Star, Anchor, Allan, Nord Deutscher, Lloyd, French, Fabre and other lines are en- gagged in a steerage rate war. The price of passage, including rations, has been cut to two pounds, $9.60, and Ellis island in New York harbor has been overwhelmed by the tide of immigra- ton.
 The low rate is leading to the land ing of many undesirable immigrants and the officials at Ellis island are overworked in keeping out cases of disease, insanity, senility, criminality and professional mendicancy Forty six per cent of the arrivals on a recent steamer were detained last week, and special inquiry and probably for re- jection. Rejected immigrants are re- turned to Europe at the expense of the steamship companies that brought them to our shores.
 The indications are that the steerage rate war will last all summer, and it will carry immigration to high figures. After the immigrant is fed there can not be much left out of $96O to swell the treasury of steamship company, The war has been coming on a long time, and it is not easy to find set clement of it when interests are so diverse and so determined Not only do the steamship companies offer low rates, but they keep agents in the field wherever immigrants can be listed Italy, Poland, Hungary and the Sclav onic countries are overrun by steam ship agents soliciting immigrants.
 All this means more population, and perhaps the north will get so much labor after a while that 1t will permi, the Italians at least to come south Gc make cotton. Alabama needs one hundred thousand Italians, and no one need doubt that they would find 2 warm welcome here. A contrary i'm pression has been created, but 1t is n mistake We need in this state one hundred thousand Italian cotton grow CTS. every one of whom could become at once proprietors on easy terms, and and they could soon learn how to grow the best cash crop in the world.

HAsHIsH SMOKING IN EGYPT.

From the Paris Daily Messenger
 The total amount of hashish seized in Egypt during the past year amounted to 24,s49 kilograms, an increase of 7,7oo kilograms over any previous year About one half of the total crop is said to have been seized The price of hashish stands higher than 1t has ever stood before. This appears to have slightly affected the consumer. In each ''goza' or pipe, Is placed a piece of hashish weighing about two grains, and valued at less than milliemes, with some charcoal. This Is passed around to eight consumers, each of whom pays PIE milliemes for a long pull. It is said that formerly each pipe was required to serve twelveNconsumers The profits of the retail traders have certainly been reduced, but they are still enormous. Twenty-two cafes belonging to Euro peans. and 1,6S1 belonging to natives, were ordered to be finally closed by the tribunals in 1903. as against seventeen and l,325 in 1902.

WHEELER FOR SECOND PLACE.
A Soldier Who Is Popular North as
 We'll as South.

To the Editor of the New York Times.
 Tn discussing the St. Louis convention much is being said about the second place being filled by man from a southern state. General Joe Wheeler would certainly give the ticket more general strength and draw to 1t more votes from every part of the union than any other living man. The affection for him and the confidence in him are of the kind which win votes.
 Federal soldiers respect him for his dash skill and courage during the four years war, and General Sherman, while commanding the army, often said that In the event of another war he would want General Wheeler to be the commander brilliant service In Cuba fully justified General Sherman's judgment.
 The mention of General Wheeler's s name in any public assemblage north or south, is followed by the warmest ap- plause, and those who were present at the Philadelphia peace jubilee and at the Mckinley inauguration parade remem- Der the enthusiastic applause which greeted him at every step from the start to the end of the march.
 His nearly twenty years in congress gave evidence of his ability and states manship, and his service in Cuba won for him not only the love of all patriotic Americans but the applause and admi- ration of the world. x.

New Cotton from Texas.

Two bales of this years vintage were received at Brownsville, Tex, on Monday. June 13 They came from Cameron county, the extreme south. west corner of the big state. That county is just about abreast of Tampa, and both are not far from the twenty fifth parallel. Both are nearly in the tropics
 But heretofore neither Cameron nor any other county has sent in a bale as early as June 13. In 1901 a bale was received in Houston on June 22, and that bale held the record up to the arrival of the bales from Cameron county.
 The first bale of last season did not appear until July 19-at Galveston, and only 711S bales all told were brought in during the month of Au- gust In 1902 the first bale was brought to Houston on July 1, and POP, $40 bales followed it in the month of August. In 1901 the August re- ceipts were 141,243 bales. The com. Ing in of the first bale at an early date this year Is therefore an indication that August receipts of new cotton this year will range from 150,000 to 250,000 bales, dependent of course upon moisture and sunshine.
 Scarcely any cotton was marketed in August of last year, the first bale appearing thdrty-ive days later in the year than the two bales from Cameron county. If conditions continue favor able, the August movement of the present year will be considerable, and this will enable the mills to secure a supply of raw material early in the season.
 At present all New York and east ern influences are combined in one grand effort to break down prices. The Fall River gentlemen love above all else flve-cent cotton, but they will not be gratified this year. Money can be obtained to meet the east on a level and the south now contains men who are not afraid to enter the struggle against the long dominant bears of the east. When crop conditions are fairly determined the bears may again hear

Some Tough Districts.

"A1l towns have certain districts that are renowned for their malodorous repn- tations," said a travelling man last night ''but the tenderloin of a city depends on it's location. For instance, what Is deem- cd very tough in the south would not seem so in the east and the tenderloln district of a southern city is very much different from those to be found in north ern and western towns.
