and the lynchers will be encouraged by the fact that a special term of court cannot be called in less than thirty days. Before the next legis- lature meets in 1907 the state will be in deplorable condition. Quadrennial terms of the legislature are proving a mistake in a prosperous and inereas- ing state. If Alabama were a stand still state, like Vermont or New Hamp- shire, sessions four years apart might prove sufficient; but in a changing, i'm proving state they are not sufficient, and never will be Tn the long run biennial sessions will be substituted and in the first lot of amendments the question should be submitted to the people.

The remark was not intended as incendiary and was not so received, although it was considered as indiscreet and as opening the way for attack by enemies
 The cold types do not always repre- sent statement exactly as it Is. The infections of the voice, together with facial and eye expressions and connect ing remarks may change entirely the meaning of a sentence as pictured in printers ink; and knowing this the in- cendiarism of the remark must be cred tied to the correspondent, who did not even report any of the speech directly connected with this remark; and no news paper loyal to it's party would have SO reported it. except under certain peculiar circumstances which existed in this case.
 The Advertisers report of the speech will, no doubt, cause ripple in the north and perhaps do the national dem ocracy no good it has set northern newspapers on the trail, and there will be a great hue and cry; but that paper can claim a greater portion of the credit to itself.

How Towns Get Prominent.

Did you ever think of how certain small towns suddenly spring into prom inence?" asked a lounger who reads ey- erything. Now do you suppose you Ga., if that lynching had not occurred over there? The same is true of Indian ola, Miss. The Minnie Cox postoffice case brought that town into prominence all over the United States, and now anybody can tell you where Indianola Is. Tavares, Fla, sprung into prominence through the fact that Frank Duncan was captured there
 Tt shows the value of printers ink as an advertising medium. Three weeks ago Tavares had never been heard of and now 1t is on everybody's lips. Long ago Huntsville, Mo-. came into promi- hence through the fact that Frank James was tried there for robbery Moundville, Ala, came into prominence on account of the cyclone taking 1t away. Then New Market, Tenn, was first heard of when the wreck on the Southern railway oe- cured near that place. Of the larger towns, Canton, Ohio, became prominent by virtue of the fact that 1t was the home of William Mckinley. Oyster Bay then bobbed up as a place of national interest because Roosevelt spends his summer there. Last but not least, Eso- pus jumped into print because Judge All ton B. Parker takes his daily swims and receives delegations there.''

The Price of Cotton.

For one time since the war; said a last night i've farmers are in position to whip the speculator on the cotton boards, and we are doing it beautifully. We do not have to sell our cotton this time un- til we get ready-good ready-and this fact fairly accounts for the present so- called good price for the staple.
 If you will remember when cotton was 1, D, G. and cents, the planters of the south were in a dependent and pow erty-striclxen condition. We had to buy corn and meat because we were so im- provident as to fail to raise our own. de- purchase from the barns and smoke houses of the west.
 "Those low prices proved of immense value to us all, in that they taught us lesson, and each year the southern planter Is learning to make his own supplies at home.
 q venture the assertion that there are more well-filled corn cribs and hay lofts, and that there will be more well-flled smoke houses in Alabama this winter than at any time since 1861.
 "The cotton money of the Alabama farmer at the end of 1904 will belong to him solely. The banking institutions of the state will get excellent benefit there- from, and the merchants will not hesitate to give full credit.
 Diversified farming has proven the sal vation of the Alabama planter in 1904"

vicksbura to Birmingham.

The Jackson Clarion-Ledger puts ex' tra leads in an article stating that New York capitalists are Investigating the proposed airline railroad from V.eks- burg to Birmingham via Canton. "There is no doubt" says the Clarion Ledger, this road would be a paying one It would not only open up very fine farming and timber section of the state, but it would make short haul from the great coal fields of Alabama to the Mississippi river. The only wonder is that the road has not been built before this"
 A straight line from Canton to Bir- mtdgham need not approach any ex- isting railroad west of Tuscaloosa, and it would be sure to secure good local traffic, and traffic from the coal fields and iron mines to Mississippi river points could be speedily built up. Like the Brunswick and Birmingham, which will be built as soon as 1t Is fully rec ognized, the Vicksburg and Birming- ham Is needed There is room for both, and both will be built, and the two may be hitched together, thus forming another southern railroad sys- tenn in the southeast.

A TEAPoT's TEMPEST.
n the Tuskegee News.

From the Iuskegee NeWS.
 The esteemed Montgomery Advertiser is being warmly censured on our streets this week for its course in intermeddling in the political affairs of this congress sional district by attacks upon the demo- cratic nominee for congress. Hon. J. Thomas Hefin, its congressman and con- gresman-to-be.
 We were present when MT. Heflin made his speech last Monday and we have walked and talked with the people of the county since and we have yet to find man who does not indorse the speech, with the exception of one remark, and who does not say that if any harm is to come from that remark it is to be laid at the door of the Advertiser and its corre- spondent. The entire speech, from begin ming to end, was continuously applauded; and at its conclusion the audience, com posed of the representative people of the country, stood and cheered, and the greater part of the audience shook Mr. Hefins hand It was regarded by all as a ,courageous utterance, and made the speaker many friends; and did not cause a man to realize the blunder that was made in his nomination"
 When MT. Hefln said, There they sat. Roosevelt and Booker, and if some Czolgosz, or one of his kind, had thrown bomb under the table, no great harm would have been done the country" the remark was greeted with laughter and clapping of hands, and yet no people revere the memory of our martyred pres ident more. nor do any people detest and despise the methods of anarchy more than these same. people: and had the incident

Campaign Methods.

From the Atlanta Journal.
 Senator Davis, in his speech at Balti- more yesterday, struck the present ad- ministration in one of its most vulnerable points. He said, in part:
 The people will have to decide whether the policy is to be continued of permitting the partisan participa-
 ton in the work of the election by the hundred thousand salaried office
 holders, including members of the cab met. The civil service law, it's rules
 and regulations, are being set at
 naught and the army Of government employees is laboring for the continu-
 ance in power of the present adminis- tration This can only be done at the
 neglect of their duties and to the detri-
 ment of the public service.
 Senator Davis might also have added that for the past year more than one bu- reau and more than one division of the federal departments have devoted them selves to the twisting of figures and the compiling of curious statistics with the intent of using them as campign doeu- ments. The commerce and labor depart ment has been particularly and peculiar ly busy along this line.
 The idea of turning the whole system of government into a campaign bureau is one for which the American republic Will have to thank the fertile brain of MT Roosevelt.

 When I was here last, said MT. Brad ley, Birmingham was just growing town.

New Orleans Fuel Supply.

New Orleans consumes and distrib- utes about one million and half tons of coal year, and it all comes to that market from Pittsburg or Alabama. Coal" says the New Orleans Times Democrat, "is daily being received from Alabama. This grade of fuel is practically the same as is found in the Pittsburg fields. It is bituminous and Is suitable for grates."
 Our New Orleans contemporary con- graduates it's city upon the security of its fuel supply, because shipments are being received every day from the Alabama nelds, and heavy bargeloads will be coming from Pittsburg soon.' The latter movement is, however, un. certain. The Ohio river is very low. It Is at the most open to barge naviga- tion from Pittsburg but three months in the year. When it is not frozen over it is often full of shoals, and only in the flood seasons Is it nayigable. There may be no winter rise, and if there is none there will be no Pitts burg coal in Newe Orleans until tho spring freshets set in
 Would not New Orleans be wise in rejecting Plttsburg coal, which is landed and held subject to deteriora- tion by the weather, taking instead Alabama coal which can be landed. fresh from the mines, daily the year round? The Pittsburg coal combina- transporting coal two thousand miles, and it has opened mines in this dis trict, and IS sending coal to New Or leans daily. An extension of the move ment is needed, and New Orleans should, it seems to us, favor a daily supply to one that is fitful and that at the best is available only three months IT. the year.
 When the Warrior is opened there will be via Lake Borgne inland navi- ,gation from the Alabama mines to New Orleans, and when that becomes an accomplished fact Pennsylvania coal will be driven out of the New Orleans market Why not hasten it's going?

Crop Reports to October.

The monthly report of the depart ment of agriculture indicates total wheat crop of 551 million bushels This is somewhat better than was ex. pected on September l, and it goes to show that there will be at least 50 million bushels for export. Last years crop was 637 million bushels, and the record crop of 1901 was 74S million bushels. The wheat yield is abund- ant for home uses, and it will perhaps afford a reasonable amount for for eign consumption.
 The government percentages on Oc- tober call for corn crop estimated at 2463 million bushels, as against a crop of 2224 million bushels grown last year. The largest cron ever
