THE HAPPY FARMER.

The farmer is a happy man
Sometimes.
He lays wealth Of dollars up,
And dimes.
He has no cares to worry him
Or fret
His soul, because he never is
In debt. .=.
When he is hungry all he has
To do
Is to 20 out and blithely dig
A few
Potatoes. or to pick some fresh
Green peas. ....
His life is full Of simple joys
Like these.
He sees the sun rise nearly ev-
=, Ry day.
oh, life to him is only sport
And play.
He does not have to think about
His dress;
He gets along with one good suit,
His wife so seldom has to go
Int town
She only needs to nave one glng-
Ham gown.
And he is never tortured with
The blues.
Because the children never need
New shoes.
Oh. life is just one round of JOY
And fun
To farmers. How l wish that !
We're one!
I'd blithely lay the dollars up.
And dimes,
Just as the happy farmer does
Sometimes.

"Weaklings and coWards. !"

Senator Morgan's letter, elsewhere printed, calls attention, not only to tho efforts being made to control the negro vote in the contested states, but also to declarations of MT. Roosevelt and MT. Root that they have to deal with "weaklings" and towards" MT. Mir. Roosevelt said in his letter of ac- ceptance that the republican party knows what it intends to do, and will do 1t. Whether these threats will take the form of reduced representa- tion or whether it means that the Tilden contingent scheme is to be re- peated, no one can say.
 Senator Morgan apprehends grave dangers to the south in case MT. Roosevelt is elected. He seems in- clined to think that the vote of an offending state may be thrown out. MT. Roosevelt's rashness knows no limits.
 We bespeak careful reading of Senator Morgan's letter. He is a vet eran observer, and he knows a great deal about the motives and influences and currents that prompt the govern, ment of this country as it is at pres ent conducted. Senator Morgan is not an alarmist. He does not appeal to the ignorant He asks all democrats tc stand up to the historical party in thi: hour of peril to the south and to the republic.

Banks in Goo Condition.

State Bank Examiner Rutledge was in the city yesterday making an investiga- ton of the various banks as is required by the state law. He has visited here several times in the past week or two, and each time he has made an inspection Of some bank in the city. Yesterday he said:
 q find the banks in the state in an ex- cellent condition, and the Birmingham banks are all making an exceptionally fine showing now. I spend a great deal of time in Birmingham, as it is cen- tral place and I can reach so many places from here. I am in and out of the city frequently.
 ''You know a new law went Into effect on the first of last January requiring the banks to make at least two public state ments of its condition every year, ana that these reports shall be published in the papers An inspection Is required in every bank ct least once year, and the law specifics that more than one shall be made if it is practicable.
 with only one man inspecting the banks 1t Is impossible to visit them all more than once, although in some places l can make more than one inspection during the year. As I said before, all the banks are In good condition"

Jobbina Trade Brisk.

'erhe wholesale grocery trade of Bir- mingham is uncommonly brisk this fall, !" said R. D. Collins, the Morris avenue merchant.
 As large part of our jobbing business is drawn from the Birmingham district, 1t shows that we have diversified interests and that the Greater Birmingham has grown to be very big, for in spite of the strike of several thousand miners rade goes right on. A few years ago strike would have paralyzed everything but now it is scarcely felt by the jobbers. Why. I can remember when the shut ting down of the Birmingham Rolling mills for few weeks affected the whole sale trade, but this time the rolling mill was idle nearly a year. and the Jonpers kept busy. Now when the big mill ana practically all the other industries are in operation, Birmingham jo5ters will proh- ably have a record fall and winter"

MT. Cleveland Correct.

From the Boston Herald.
 There is nothing more dangerous than a half-truth. A portion of a statement made by ex-President Cleveland has been quoted very widely throughout the coun- try. many thinking that they had caught MT. Cleveland in a misstatement. The New York Tribune was at the bottom of the trouble by it's statement that MT. Cleveland had said he voted for Buch- anan in 1856. It was quickly pointed out that in 1856 Grover Cleveland was not 21 years of age, and. therefore, could not legally take part in the contest-that Is. as far as casting a ballot was concerned. Reference to the original statement made by MT. Cleveland throws a very different light on the matter. What he really said was: Though 1 was still under voting age, the surroundings of the candidates so impressed me and so stimulated my interest in the principles and conditions involved that my thoughts and investi- gation led me to a distinct and lasting party preference" It is to be hoped that the truth will now be as widely circu- lated, particularly in republican circles, as was the misstatement.

Chairman MaIIorY's Appeal.

Chairman Mallory and Secretary Mel are appealing to the sixty-seVeh counties of Alabama to aid With money the efforts of the national eX- ecutiye committee to elect Judge Parker and a democratic house one or both. The election of either would put an end to extravaganza and lm- perialistic freaks in the conduct of the country, and money spent with euch an object in view Is money well ex- pended.
 The trusts and tariff beneficiaries are endeayoring to carry the country by filling the coffers of the republican party, and the democrats have no source from which to draw necessary campaign money but the people. The national democratic campaign commit tee appeals to Alabama democrats through the state committee. Chair man Mallory asks the sixty-seven county committees in the prosperous state of Alabama to come to the aid Of the democratic cause, and we be- lleve they will do it. The money con tributed in this state may at least give the country a democratic house of representatives. It is a critical time, and money is needed, and that too, quickly. The Age-Herald hopes to hear that every county has made some donations to the general demo- cratic cause and good government.

Cotton Crop Movement.

Many farmers are holding back their
 cotton, and many moro should do so.
 Receipts at interior markets are grow ing less, but they are still larger than
 they were in the corresponding weeks of last year. They are intact very large. Last week 524,000 bales were brought into sight, and in the first forty-four days of the cotton year 2,416,000 bales were actually mar keted. This is a new record. Of this immense movement 1,227000 bales were sent abroad, and the demand of the European mills is preventing a se- rious accumulation in season when all the cotton is opening almost simul- taneously. No rain has fallen in the greater part of the cotton belt in two months, and the weather has been sunny and generally warm.
 No one considers the present move ment, under present circumstances, as an indication of the size of the crop. The crop is being picked out and ginned with u-- ,cedented rapidity. It is a fine weather movement, and yet there is no top crop, and the best ob- servers agree in saying the crop will not prove exceptionally large. The New York Commercial reviewed the entire field last week, and here are it's conclusions:

The United Charities.

No benevolent work in Birmingham is conducted on such broad and sympathetic lines perhaps, as that of the United char ities This institution is managed by prominent women, who give their time ungrudgingly to the cause of charity, re- gardess of race or creed.
 The United charities will hold meet ing in the Commercial club rooms to- night, and Mrs. Lewis, the president, ex- tends an invitation to the business men and all who feel an interest in the work of the organization to be present. Of- ficers will make their annual reports at this meeting. Mrs. Lewis says there will be no appeal for money but she hopes to see a large attendance of citizens in or der that the workers may be encouraged in their unseflsh efforts in behalf of suf- ferlng humanity.

vestigate the reports made to the court by it's own officers, and if it found that race prejudice was the prevailing mo- tive it should indict the offenders.
 Some one recently said. too, that if the thirteenth amendment could be stretched to cover mobs congress could provide trials for breaches of contracts between negroes and whites. This is farfetched. The right of citizen to make a contract is derived solely from state laws. The constitution of the United States simply recognizes the right, and provides that states shall not impair it. The making of con- tract is not right, privilege or i'm munity created by or dependent upon the constitution and laws of the United States, hence congress cannot legislate as has been suggested.
 The truth is, alarmists are mislead- ing our people as to the power of con- gross and the negroes. We ought to stop before the continued killing of negroes brings down upon us public sentiment which will legislate against us. Our people are being misled by false prophets, and 1t is high time that the conservative sentiment of the state rallied to the defense of the courts to the end that the law shall be vindi- cated, order restored, and anarchy abolished.

MORGAN DISCUSSES THE
 NEGRO AND ROOSEVELT
BY SENATOR JOHN T. MORGAN.

it. This threat of violence by the republic can party, in resorting to any necessary measures to accomplish it's purposese, is predioated upon his assertion and that of MT. Root, that they have to deal with "weaklings" and towards" It has refer ence, no doubt, to the success of that party in counting MT. Tilden out of his election to the presidency with a thinly disguised threat of it's repetition by the present Fifty-elehth congress. For one, confess to being too much of a weak ling and coward" to look upon such threats with indifference; and I could not. for any consideration of fear, favor or affection" cast my vote for man who. to gratify his ambition, would make such a badgering threat to excuse the fact that he is a son of a daughter of the south.
 It seems not to be generally known that an objection to counting the electoral vote of any state, under the existing law will exclude suchsvote, or any part of it. if the objection Is in writing, signed by three members of either house, and is sustained by the majority vote of the house and the senate, eacn voting sepa- rately. No additional legislation of con- gress is needed to accomplish such a re- suit. The whole race question, as to ne- grces, in its bearings on the election of a President, can tkus be settled, conclusive ly, and beyond the power of any tribuna: to change or reverse it, by the si.lply concurrence of the two houses Of cor- gress in sustaining objections in the form have stated. to the electoral votes of tie southern states.
 This danger is threatened, covertly. in the Chicago platform, which President Roosevelt stands pledged so execute. We know that his rashness is equal to any his way, and we must conclude that, if the present eoEgress-republican iil both branches-gives hlTn color of right, that he will not hesitate to assert his power against the the alleged "cowards" and weddings" who compose the democratic rarty. need not and will not discuss the consequences of such an event. I will only say that no southern man can afford to withhold his earnest support from the la tional democratic party, upon whom. for a second time, the brurt and burden of such a condition of affairs nay fall; nor can he fail to see the danger of it's early occurrence.
 A threat of MT. Roosevelt means much, when he fancies that he has only "cow- ards" and weddings" to confront. In this case, it means more to the north than it does to the southern states. Truly yours, JOHN T. MORGAN.

Melba Is Cominu.

S. Kronberg, advance representative of the Melba Concert company, and Mrs. Kronberg, were in Birmingham yester- day. MT. Kronberg came to make prepa- rations for the appearance here of Mad anne Melba and her company, Monday, March 13, at the Jefferson theatre. After filling an engagement at Palm Beach, Melba will appear in only four cities, New Orleans, Birmingham, Atlanta and Nash vile, before returning to the east. Her engagement here will be notable one in musical circles, and no doubt the Jeffer- son will be crowded with a brilliant au- dience to hear her sing.
 In the company with Madame Melba will be Signora Sassoll, hal pist; M. Zili- bert, baritone; MT. Hoos, tenor; MT. North, flute, and Miss Davis, pianist.

cation, and shall marry another com
 mitteth adultery; and whoso marrieth her who is put away doth commit adul-
 tery.
 All sorts of constructions were put upon the verses we have given, and in the end the proposition to forbid the re-narriage of divorced persons was defeated in the house of deputies by close vote. The house of bishops will act on the proposition but it is beliesed it received it's deathblow in the house of deputies.
 The present divorce canon of the Episcopal church has stood since 1859. It permits clergymen to remarry "the innocent party" to the divorce granted for infidelity. Practically speaking this makes the officiating clergyman judge, jury and sheriff, and his de- cision is final. It practically enables all divorcees, who are not notoriously unfit, eligible to remarrlage by the Episcopal church. The reformers at Boston desired to take away all dis- cretion from the clergy when divorced persons apply for remarriage but It IS plain the matter will go over to the next general convention of the Episco- pal church, which is to be held in the city of Richmond three years hence.
