going on its capital. and an economic crisis in timber Is approaching.
 This could be postponed if the re- maining timber in the United States and Canaua could be handled with moderation in accordance with ap- proved forestry regulations. But as things are going no new trees are planted, and the trees of a century are ruthlessly destroyed wherever 8 profit appears The exploiters have no eye to the future. They are looking for present profits, and the result ia the wholesale devastation of tho only available great forests left standing in the world.
 There is not an acre Of timbered land in Alabama that will pot be valu. able a generation hence, and it should be carefully preserved. Let no ene be in haste to sell tinhered lands in this state, for every year will add to tbeir value The entire world will soon look to this country and to Canada for lumber, and W. will not have it un- less we conserve what We have and protect che young trees.

LoOkinu Ahead.

The home team returns today from it's final western circuit, bearing ten scalps out of fourteen games. Such an achievement became possible un- der the strenuous management of it's veteran first baseman. After the freaks of Sam Mills, Haller and Tom O'Brien it is a relief to have man. ager who knows good ball when he sees it-a manager who knows when a player is doing his best, and also when he is c-rrying out his own little programme.
 Manager Vaughn took hold too late to carry the team to high place, and yet he may wind up the season in the first division. Birmingham has been so poorly served it has become hum; bled, and all it asks is a place in the first division. It does not want the pennant. The change would be too great. It wants to get away from the bottom, where incompetent manage ment had uetained 1t three long years.
 Manager Vaughn Is the man to give town that loves the national game winning ball next season. He is a slugger himself, and he believes in slugging. He will not search the country over for men who cannot hit the ball. He has DO pet players. In a word, he knows a good player when he sees one, and he would see enough of that sort next year to keep the team near the top, if not at it.
 He should ue retained as manager. Let MT. Finn look elsewhere. and all other men who propose to supplant nm in this town. The scrappy, stren. uous first baseman is the man the bleachers and grand stand desire as manager next year, and they will not willingly accept any other man in thai difficult position.

 INTEREST IN BIRMINGHAM AND ELSEWHERE

means much campaign fund. On the other hand, I would not be surprised to see some other member of the house of j. P Morgan U Company announce in favor of Parker This great banking institution naturally desires to be in With the government. whoever might be president
 Of course the republicans are already accommodating a large campaign fund. but the democrats have equally as good pros poets. They are prepared for the fight thls time, and while 1t is too early to predict, the chances of Parkers election are extremely bright. Both candidates have some good heavy loads to carry. Parker has fool friends, and Roosevelt fool acts Both are burdensome.s
 Ex-S Secretary of War Root announces positively that he will not be candidate for governor of New York, regardless of the fact that Roosevelt wishes 1t. Root has had as much politics as he desires in his term as secretary of war. There was honor in the place, but little salary. As il A9 AAOff III idWf oAAi toiH ti1etb he has retainers amounting to more than $50'0o0 a year. and has ample time to make political speeches when he desires Root evidently ..nows good thing when he has his grasp upon it.
 
 That speech of John Sharp Williams in notifying MT. Davis of his nomination for vice president is the cleverest literary production of the campaign so far. It really is a gem of thought, wit and hu- nor. If you haven't read 1t 1t is worth your reading.
 By the way, the chances are that if Parker wins. John Sharp Williams will be secretary of state. He Is undoubtedly the man for the job. He knows foreign as well as domestic politics. Williams as a young man spent several years in Europe perfecting his education, and has been an extensive traveller since. He not only knows his own country, but the world at large.

Consider the Babies.

An Atlanta physician of high stand ing publicly states that milk is an ex- cellent culture medium for germs, and that it is next to criminal to feed 1t to babies without first sterilizing it. Twenty-Five per cent of all babies are dependent upon cows milk, and un- sterilized milk renders the infant nor tality rate high.
 Let it not oe lDought that milk as 1t comes from the COW contains dis ease germs. It doesn't, but no one can know with what kind of water the vessels it goes into were washed-lf they were washed at all--nor can the consumer know what dirt it has gath cred in it's preparation for and trans portation to market True, milk can be eterilized at home, but few do that, trusting to freedom of the par ticular milk from dirt or germs.
 The true course consists in requir- ing by ordinance all milk sold in the c.ly to be sterilized. This, in addition to the filters at tho water supply, would render the city pretty healthy, pending ths delayed completion of the trunk sewers, and the destruction of the mesquite crop. All things can not be done at cnce, but the city govern ment can re luce the infant mortality rate by simply providing for the sale of sterilized uilk only in the city There ~-ould be some squir.ning on the part of darymen, but it is better that they should squirm than that the babies, especially in the families of the poor, should writhe in pain and die. The subject needs attention in Birmingham. It is getting it in other towns, and the time is fully ripe for sterilizca milk Eere in addition to filtered water.

The Seaboard Air Line.

The recent buying movement in Seaboard Air Line stock and the all legged formation of pool to secure control Of a majority of the stock of that company, is of more than passing interest to the people of this section.
 There are 625,O00 shares of the common and preferred stock and at last accounts the pool lacked only 65,000 to make the desired majority The identity of the prospective pur- chasers of the majority of the securi- ties Is not yet known definitely, but a rumor has been published that the Gould interests are after the system. This, however, is speculative, and is based upon the fact chiefly that George Gould's Wabash wants an entrance into Washington. The idea is suggest ed that the Wabash, by getting into Washington and securing a controlling interest in the Seaboard, would secure a line to the South Atlantic ports and to the cotton ana coal fields of the south. This, too, is an assumption, and is based upon the idea that Mr. Gould is a man of wisdom and fore sight, and that he sees a great future for this section ana desires to enter into it's development and reap the harvests which are bound to come.
 It is also rumored that the Rocke- fellers are buying Seaboard stocks.
 In any event we have the Seaboard as one ofAlabama's developing agents, and no matter into what hands 1t r'Iy fall, or what it's management may be, certain it is that it will be of great value to this section, a highway to the sea, drawing the rich resources O. this state nearer the great markets. In Alabama it cuts through rich tim Der lands, beds of iron ore and fields of coal, and through an agricultural section promising to the touch of in- dustry-and all of these now in a vir- gin state.
 perfect roadbed, heavy steel rails and magnificent equipment give assur- ance of safe and rapid transit over the Seaboard; ana promise of an early completion of the gap between Bir- mingham and Atlanta is a source of rejoicing on the part of our people.

FIRST AMERICAN COINS.
Copper Half Gents Were Issued From
 the Mint In 1793.
From the Gateway MagazIne.

From the Gateway Magazine.
 The treasurer of the United States on May G. 1903, redeemed two half-cent pieces. This is the first time in the history of the country that any such coins have been presented for redemp- tion. It is more than century since the first half-cent piece was coined, and it Is nearly fifty years since the govern ment discontinued minting them.
 Possibly not one person in thousand now living in the United States ever sa W half-cent piece
 The last annual report of the director of the mint. page s2. shows that 1885, 222 of these coins. representing sS9, ,476.11. were issued. For almost half 8 century each annual report of the treasury department has included them among the "outstand- ing" obligations of the government.
 The half-cent piece was the coin of the smallest denomination ever made by this country. It enjoys the distinction also of being the first coin issued and also the first whose denomination was discontln- ued. The United States mint was es- tablished in 1792, and copper half cents and cents were issued in 1793 Half the total number of half-cents Issued were coined previous to 1S10 after which year their coinage. with few exceptions, was limited. None was coined for circulation from 1872 to 1924 nor from 1886 to 1S4S. Fi- nally, In 1S57 their coinage, with that of the big copper cent, was discontinued. On account of their limited issues in the last years of their coinage t--ey practi- cally had disappeared from the chan nels of trade.
 The needs of adopting the half-cent as the lowest value computing factor for n coin were made in the early days of the republic. Colonial half-cents and British farthinss of the same commercial value were then in circulation, and many arti- cles were priced and sold in half-cents. With the progress of the nation values rose and the needs for a half-cent dis appeared, and their use following the ~irst decade of the century was almost entirely confined to multiples.
 While all other discontinued types and denominations of the United States coin have found oblivion, the half-cent Is the only one of which the treasury reports do not record some portion of the issue redeemed This singular and unexplain- ed fact has been one of frequent com ment and inquiry from mint and treas ury officials.
 Large quantities of half-cents are to ba found in the stocks of coin dealers. The most common dates are sold at a good premium and the extremely rare ones are worth their weight in gold.
 Feran Zarbe of St. Louis was the man who sent the two half-cent pieces to Washington for redemption. He now prizes highly the little voucher calling for ''one cent which was sent to him with that amount of current coin in ex- change for the two halr-cent pieces he had forma rded

Woman's Gxehanq qe.

 "I hear the Woman's Exchange Is to be moved to the basement of the Title Guar antee building,' said one of the constant patrons of that popular institutions yes terday. "and I think everybody is de- lighted. I have seen the handsome quar- ters they will oecup, and have often won dered why some restaurant has not al- ready taken them. The floors and wains- coating are marble, and all of the fur nishings are in keeping
 '"rhe space out under the sidewalks is beautifully lighted from the glass prisms above, and 1t can be curtained off and made into most attractive private dining rooms. I understand the manage ment of the exchange win fit up the place very handsomely.
 underground restaurants. when they are well lighted and ventilated as thls one will be, are very attrcative and pre- diet the exchange In its new home will be as popular in Birmingham as Savarin' 8 in the Wall Street district. Is in New York. l have been noticing for sometime that the great majority of the exchange S patrons have their places of business north of Second avenue. so that the new location on Third avenue will be much more convenient than the old one on First avenue.
