its condition is still good, and a big
yield is still possible. and even prob
able. Spring wheat is holding it's own.
All the cereal crops are promising.
The outlook for corn and cotton can
not be determined as yet, but up to
the present time no indications of
small outturns appear. Corn and cot
ton are essentially September crops,
and they have therefore long ways
to go. 1t can be said, however, that
all crops are promising.
Peace and big crops are possibilities
as things stand, and as surely as both
come In the carly fall months just SO
surely will prices go up. and we will
cease to have waiting markets, and
hesitating prices. These are the wait
ing months of the year, and the world
waits this summer for peace as well
as for bread and clothing.

Tennessee's Senatorial Contest.

Although the election of legisla-
ture that will elect United States
senator does not take place until No
vember, 1906, yet Tennessee already
has well-developed senatorial con-
test on hand. Ex-Gov. Bob Taylor pro-
poses to become Senator Carmacks
successor, while Mr.. Carmack prefers
to be his own successor. 1t does not
at present appear that there will be
other contestants. Governor McMil-
lin seems to have got enough of poll
tics. and the belief is that the race
viii be confined to Messrs. Taylor and
Carmack.
Both have declared in favor of a
state primary to select democratic
candidate for United States senator,
as we'll as other officers. Both are
emphatic as to this-equally emphatic,
as they may we'll be. Both, too, will
soon begin a. canvass of the state.
Both are excellent speakers, and a
canvass by the two aspirants will GER
tainly add to the gayety of Tennessee.
Georgia has a red-hot gubernatorial
canvass in good running order, but
Georgia will by no means monopolize
the political fun in this section of the
country. Tennessee will get her share
of it when Ed Carmack meets Bob
Taylor on the stump in joint debates.

Care of the States Convlcis.

President Carmichael of the state
board of convict inspectors reports the
net earnings of the convicts of the
state In the last three months at a
little more than sixty-two thousand
dollars. He is confident the net earn
ings of the fiscal year will exceed a
quarter of a million dollars.
Nor is this all. The death rate
among the convicts has been lessened,
but it is still about thirty in the thous-
and, or fully one-third more than the
death rate among freemen. The high
death rate Is due largely to the prev
alence of tuberculosis, which has long
been the scourge of the Alabama peni-
Tertiary.
But there is hope, for the board is
rapidly bringing all convicts under its
immediate care. Three lumber camps
were taken over by the board in the
last three months. Governor jerks an
nounced his intention, when he insti-
tuted the new and superior plan of
convict management, of bringing every
convict under the states direct care,
and 1t is to be hoped that he will be
able to carry out his humanitarian
plans. When all convicts are in the
hands of the state it will be possible
to bring to bear AL that science
teaches in the control of the dreadful
white disease, that scourge of all pris-
ons. When convicts are fed properly,
clothed warmly and treated decently
fewer cases of the disease will arise
among them, and all this will become
possible when President Carmichael
becomes their boss
