COTTON OPENING FAST.
Farmers of East Alabama Paying Ad-
 vanced Prices for Picking.

Columbus. Ga, Sept. 19.-(SpeciaL) Many of the cotton fields of this sec tion of Georgia and Alabama will be clean by October 1. Cotton in this section has opened with remarkable rapidity during the past two or three weeks and the planters are devoting their energy to picking 1t, in some cases paying as much as 60 cents per 100 pounds to laborers.
 The weather for the greater part of this month has been very warm and very dry and as a result the greater part of the cotton has already opened So rapidly have the bolls popped open that many have been unable to pick 1t as rapidly As they desired. Nearly ev- cry field between Columbus and Ham, ilton, Ga. for instance. is white in many cases every boil on the plant having already opened. A field in Harris County that was picked Thurs day is white again today.
 Farmers in this section are very hopeful that the storm which passed up the Atlantic coast few days ago was the equinoctial gale as a storm a few days later with the cotton fields in their present condition would mean the loss of several thousand dollars as the cotton Is almost dropping from the plant.

ing the channel of the Alabama river from that city to Selma. Such an eff fort is in keeping with the spirit of progress that has lately marked Mont gomery and her business men. It Is a great misfortune that something of this kind was not started years ago when the channel of the river first be- gan to grow shoal and unnavigable. as proper attention then would have having heard old citizens speak of the river between Mobile and Montgomery from years end to years end and of the immense amount of freight hauled by such boats.
 Is commendable, and their request matter of fight, While thousands of dollars are being spent in opening navigable. 1t Is a shame for such g. splendid highway as the Alabama riv- CT to be allowed to become useless. If the work of deepening the channel at all Is begun by the government we do not see any good reason why 1t should be confined to only that part of the river between Selma and Montgomery.
 While as general thing Selma has navigable channel to Mobile the year around there are times when boats cannot reach here and for some months each each year only boats of very light draft can come through. As we un-' derstand from river men. there are on- ly very few bad places from here to the Gulf. and 1t would certainly be economy and fair and just for any ap- propriation made for the Alabama river to cover the whole river and its bene- fits not to be limited to the channel from here to Montgomery. Our Com mercial and IndustriaI Association has here an opportunity to render good service to this city. The matter should be looked into and while Montgomery and her congressman are working for all year water way from their city to Selma let Mir. Bowie work for an all- year route from the Gulf to Selma. A joint effort by the two cities would stand a better chance of success, and if proper overtures are made to Mont gomery such effort could doubtless be brought about. It Is needless to ar que the great benefit to this city such an improvement would bring. The ex- perience of our business men will sug- gest such arguments to them and they should not let this opportunity pass by unused.

A DECIDED FLOP.

The Sacramento Bee winds up long review of the Roosevelt letter by the statement that "as between the two the people can make no mistake in voting for Roosevelt" When a newspaper Hops over to the Republican side it would be well for 1t If it could cause the destruction of all its files. Less than year ago, just after Roosevelts coup in the Panama affair The Bee had a long criticism of that act, head ed "A Shady chapter in American his tory" and starting out with this para graph:
 The course of the Roosevelt admins tration, with reference to the revolu- tion in Panama, forms one of the most discreditable chapters in the history of the United States.
 The editorial practically concluded with this opinion:
 Whatever satisfaction the American people may derive from the prospect of the early construction of an inter tional character of the high handed course pursued by the Administration cannot be other than injurious and de- plorable.
 Between the opening and closing paragraphs there are more than two colums of comments. of which the ex- t<aats E1Ysn are mild specimens. The

COLONIAL HoMEsICKNEss.

The London Times recently in an ex- haustive article on the American occu- patton of Porto Rico ended it's review by saying the American colonization schemes there and elsewhere are suf- fering from "homesickness." In other words, the writer meant to say the Americans had gone into their new island possessions without any clearly defined notion of what they expected to accomplish, had run about in pursuit of this or that new undertaking, only to realize that they were in the midst of an old and backward life. a densely populated region suffering from the effects of a tropical climate and Span ish misrule. In most instances. a few months sufficed to bring on In the heart of the adventurer and a year or two in every case a bad attack of home sickness. It will have been mo- ticed that the officials of the United States engaged in Porto Rico clear out at the first convenient opportunity The same is true of the Philippines Officers and private citizens alike give the most Respondent accounts of act ual conditions and the natives have only one cry and that is to cry to Washington for help of some kind. Republicans are entirely too busy op- erating the government in the interest of special classes at home in the United States to take much thought about the Porto Ricans or the Filipinos. Indeed the whole management of both depend encies has been contrived to hinder rather than aid in the natural develop ment of the islands resources The most liberal policy that they or the Demo- crats might devise would still leave a dark and complex problem to be con- fronted.
 It is commonly reported that Spain has already become thoroughly re- signed to the loss of her Eastern and Western possessions; that she consid- CTS the payment of S2O,OOO, 900 of pur- chase money sufficient salve to her pride and now gladly welcomes Ameri- can tourists as the best spenders of money among all the people that run sightseeing about Europe.
 Spain may well congratulate herself, chuckle and grow fat as she is doing. Our total bill is already more than billion dollars and the Lord only knows where and when the expenses are to stop.

IMPORTED REINDEER.

Among the efforts to domesticate or acclimatize foreign breeds of animals few have met with less success than have the attempts to introduce the Lapland reindeer. For general useful ness no animal in the cold regions of earth exceed this member of the deer family. as found in Northern Europe. The American species, or Caribou. is found plentifully in the extreme North west, and they are invaluable to the Esquimaux and other Indians of those regions, partly as draught animals, but principally valuable for the flesh. fat and hides, and the natives would find existence difficult without them.
 The Lapland reindeer is almost the only source of wealth to the people of that country. As a draught animal 1t has no equal for that latitude, being capable of carrying a weight of 200 or 300 pounds in a sledge at a speed of nine or ten miles an hour over the snow, and keeping it up for hours without rest. The flesh is one of the principal articles of food among the Lapps, as is also the milk and its pro- ducts. Of the skin they make clothing. shoes, tents and bedding, and even the bones and sinews are put to use. In fact, to. the Laplanders the reindeer is of much greater value than the camel is to the Arabs.
 Some years ago the attempt was made by our government to domesti- cate the Lapland species in Alaska, but the effort was practically a failure, as they refused to eat the food provided for them. Now however, we learn that the Siberian species brought to Alaska have thriven and it seems that the ex- pertinent is a successful one, and one authority says of those Siberian anil mals:
 In the past few years the animals have multiplied, and there is said to be moss enough in Alaska to furnish plen- ty of food for millions of them. It is predicted that in the course of twen- ty or thirty years the Territory will produce 500,000 or more reindeer an nually for meat. A full-grown animal Is worth $50 or more to the butcher and fully $100 for sledding or packing. The does give very rich milk, though in small quantity, and bear a fawn each year for ten or more years.
 If these predictions prove to be well founded, or if even the half is true, it will add very materially to the wealth and advantages of our Northern possessions. and give another solution of the ever-present food question.
