would be, shorts The price of flour had. therefore, advanced from 75 cents to $l a barrel. The best grades of flour are selling in. Montgomery at $6 per barrel, while the more inferior grades are sell ing between $5.25 and $5.75 per barrel.
 The best coffees. he said, had advanced only about one-half cent per pound, but the coffees made from the cheapest Rios have gone up with more rapid strides than cotton. Formerly these cof- fees sold for F cents a pound. Within the last month the price has risen steadily until it now hovers around 20 cents a pound. This advance is attrib- uted to the shortness of the Brazilian coffee crop.
 Sugar is cheaper than it has been in some time, and the advance on lard has been little, if any.
 The fruit men say that the high price asked for apples, oranges and pineap- pies is the simple result of the lack of demand after the holiday season. Apples are selling around $4 a barrel and the price of the best oranges is around 50 cents a dozen. Pineapples are sold for 9 cents. Celery, cranberries, and other delicacies have advanced slightly, but it is attributed to the lack of demand.
 There are some strawberries in the Montgomery market. They are selling at B cents a quart, which is regarded as cheap at this season.

While Montgomery farmers are batting themselves on the back. thinking of the high prices received for cotton, groceries and table delicacies have like the fieecy staple, gone skyward and housekeepers are VeXed.
 In Montgomery staple articles like flour and coffee have advanced to such a price that if times were hard, many a table would be without them. Fruits and other delicacies have followed the eX- ample of the more necessary foods and have climbed several rungs on the lad der of prices.

RAINS WERE GENERAL.
Moderate Rise in Rivers-Fair
 Weather Today.

mOuerhCo 1SlSe HI HlVorS-1al1
 Weather Today.
 The rains, of yesterday were quite gen. eral in the South. In Montgomery the total rainfall up to yesterday. evening was 1.47 of an inch, with about the same or slightly more, at other points in Mid. dle Alabama.
 These rains, with the accompanying almost summer-like temperatures, were caused by a storm eddy moving east ward over Iowa yesterday morning causing ain indraught of warm moisture laden air over the South.
 The rains have started a moderate rise in the lower -Coosa,- Tallapoosa and Ala bama rivers. The rainfall was compara- lively light over the upper Coosa up to last night.
 It is expected that the rain area will have passed off well to the eastward by this morning, being replaced by fair weather in this section, and probably fol- lowed by a moderate drop in tempera- ture here tonight.

Gossip. of men and 1GlatterS
Joel Chandler Harris's Bows.

"A little while ago." said a local news paper man." a brilfiarit-minded Montgom- cry woman wrote an. appreciation of Joel writer. Her article was inspired by her keen interest in that which makes for the good of mankind. She depicted this truly remarkable old gentleman who has brought joy to millions of hearts while earning fame for himself in American letters. ..,.
 nshe -d~elt on. his beautiful home life. his tender affection for children, his aesthetic sense and the esteem in which he is held by his neighbors. All of these things she narrated in her best style and, as l read her article, l wondered if she knew, as I knew, something which she omitted, something which reflects the greatest of all credit on Joel Chandler Harris. He. has 1.-two sons who ara as distinguished in the field of newspaper making as their popular father is distin-; guished in literature.
 And it is not entirely because they are sons of their father that they are successful. They have carved their own way and they, are credit to their pro- fession.
 Julian Harris was not made managing editor of The Atlanta Constitution. be- cause he was son of Joek Chandler Harris He worked his way from the bottom just like other managing editors have done. When Evelyn Harris, his younger brother was made city editor of Georgias great daily he looked down the hall of time and found that he had climb ed step by step to the place he is now filling so creditably. He had been a cub reporter and no -one ever frightened his burden because his father had created 'Gnc' Remus.'
 Men who. make newspapers are modest men. It is part of their training to be so. But some Of the brightest minds of this country are directed towards making newspapers. They have not the time to make personal regulations.
 Julian Harris and Evelyn Harris are young men of this class. They are responsible for all of the news published by The Constitution and if 1t is a great newspaper theirs is the credit"

who died at Santa Monica and who un-

Two Meals Daily for students.

order of Oliver Twists that the action
of the University of Missouri students
in demanding less TO eat is worthy of
notice The students say that by ex-
pertinent it has been learned they are
lin better health and spirits and better
prepared for hard mental work when
eating only two meals a day. The col

to cut out one meal. The news should

an inadequate army system. Acting
with the machinery of those days, he
said, the Government did not stand
condemned. 1t must stand or fall by
the report of the commission. which
discredited some OF the evidence be-
cause it was conflicting.
Joseph Chamberlain, in defending
himself against Robson's attack. which
he asserted was intended to hold him
up to derision, traversed his usual
argument. He declined to accept the
individual responsibility for the South
African war or it's conduct, and said
that peace was made impossible be-
cause Kruger hoped for foreign assist
ance and was misled by the attitude of
the British parliamentary opposition
into believing that Great Britain was
not in earnest. Regarding attacks on
the new diplomacy" Chamberlain
held that it should be made perfectly
clear in diplomacy what Great Britain
wanted.
