Eleven-Cent Cotton.

Some cotton has been sold below ten cents-some distress cotton-but most of the marketed bales have com manded ten cents, and it now begins to look as if the remainder of the crop would bring eleven cents. About thirty per cent of the crop has been marketed, and the farmers of the south stand, therefore, a chance to get a satisfactory price for the greater part of their crop.
 The recent rise in the price of cot ton is due in part to the discovery of denciences in the East Indian crop, which is now estimated below the previous crop by 100000 bales, and in part to wet, cold weather in this coun- try, and in part to growing belief that the new crop in this country will fall below eleven million bales. Less cotton by 477,OOO bales had been brought in sight up to November than appeared in the corresponding month of last year. These figures taken by themselves indicate reduc- tion in the crop of 100000 bales, and the reduction may prove to be double that amount.
 The Age-Herald has all along urged it's readers who own cotton to hold every bale of it until a minimum of ten cents is established. and that ad- vice is certainly justified by the pres ent course of the market. Cotton that is sold for less than ten cents is cot ton sold below its true value, all things considered

Jews in America.

On Thanksgiving day the American Jews will celebrate the 250th ami versary of their coming to this coun- try. The Spanish Jews were driven out about the time Columbus discov- cred this country, and they sought refuge in various directions, but 1t was not until September 1, 1854, that any of them landed in this country. A party of twenty-three came to New York at that time. and they and their successors have been influential in the big city ever since. The Dutch then controlled New York, or New Amstei- dam, as it was called.
 But few of their race followed them. and one hundred and fifty years later there were but 5000 Jews in this country. Jewish immigration soon after began to increase. but even as late as 1880 there were but 250,000 Hebrews there. They attained emi- hence, however, in nearly every walk of life, agriculture excepted. Seven thousand of them entered the union armies in the Civil war. and perhaps

Federal Control of Quarantine.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat prints a large number of letters of senators and representatives in an swer to these questions: Do you think the federal government has Jurisdiction over quarantine? Do you think it ought to exercise that power; and how far do you think 1t can go and ought to go?" Only one congress- man puts himself on record as op- posed to federal control of quarantine; some are non-committal, but the ma jority hold themselves ready to do whatever the south favors. The ma, jority consider quarantine as essen. tially southern question. and they will be governed by southern wishes.
 Congressman Wiley says "the na- tional government should be permitted to assume jurisdiction and control of the subject. The health and prosperity
 
 legal and constitutional quibbles- should be paramount to the discus sion of issues involving the proper re- lations between state and federal gov ernments. It is the part of patriotism to relegate such vagaries to the rear" Congressman George w. Taylor says "the federal government has as full jurisdiction to legislate and regulate quarantine in relation to foreign coun- tries that it has to appoint ambassa- dors and consuls and to declare and maintain war. Whatever the federal government has the power to do it is it's bounden duty to undertake and carry out in the best way and with the highest degree of efficiency" Congressman Landis of Indiana voices the sentiment of the northern mem bers when he says: q do not know how much power the federal govern ment has over quarantine. It should have supreme power over it. It IS vital to all men everywhere.

 All the south has to do is to agree upon a quarantine law, and 1t will be adopted without delay or difficulty by will not be listened to. Tt will be our own fault" says the New Orleans Times-Democrat, If we neglect the opportunity and thus invite another invasion of yellow fever.'

DR. NELSON IS HURT

Chattanooga, November 7.-(special.)-- As the result of the rupture of blood vessel of the brain, caused by falling headforemost from a horse yesterday morning, Dr. Nelson, one of Chattanoo- gas best known physicians, Is lying in Erlanger hospital at the point of death.
 From the time that the accident oc. cured yesterday morning shortly after o'clock, until late hour last night. pr. Nelson remained unconscious, and no hope for his recovery is entertained by the physicians who are attending him. Dr. Nelson was riding horseback yester- day morning on Carter street, near inc corner Of Leonard street his horse sud- denly fell and the rider was thrown over the animals head in such a manner as 10 cause the back of his head to strike the brick pavement first.

At fha Falls Yesfardav

In single year after the Roosevelt landslide the ballot boxes produce a curious medley of electoral results. Party lines have been largely disre- garded at all points, and the results of 1904 are reversed even in the states that were then overwhelmingly re- publican.
 Roosevelt's plurality in Pennsyi- vania last year was 505.519; William H. Berry, democrat, is elected state treasurer this year by a heavy plu- rality.
 Roosevelt's plurality in Ohio last year was 255,41O; John M. Pattison, democrat, is elected governor by a sweeping vote.
 These two big states emphasize the wave that is rolling over the country against bossism and graftism, sweep ing over parties and party organiza- tions, and rendering the result in- capable of analysis from former points of view.
 fight for the Poe amendment was rejected, and Massachusetts elects a republican governor instead of demo- crat.
 -4e heavy vote in favor of Mir hearst in New York city is but part of the march of radical reform ideas in all parts of the world. The cor ruption in city governments in this country develops the spirit of discon- tent, and this spirit is at the bottom of MT. Hearst's surprising vote. Mir Jeromes close race is doubtless due to the fact that he was on neither of the regular party tickets, and the marking of ballots worked to his dis advantage. Mayor Mcclellan, one of the best mayors New York ever had, will stay in office four years longer. District Attorney Jerome also remains in office, although elected by very narrow margin.
 Viewing the elections of yesterday as whole it must be conceded that public sentiment is in a state of Aux, ready to drift in any direction that promises public relief. The general result shows that no party and no combination has a lien upon 1908 that can be foreclosed with any degree of certainty. The alignment of 1908, and the condition of public sentiment at that distant day is matter yet to be determined. New issues are arising, new men coming to the front, and the surprises of 1908 may be even greater than are those that we record ttis morning.

ALL FOUR CLAIM TO
 BE GUILTY OF CRIME
Peculiar Case Comes Up for Disposi- tion by the Officers of
 Meridian.

Meridian, Miss, November 7-tSpecial0 The local police department is up against the most remarkable and sensational case ever handled in it's annals. The case is growing out of the series of bold bur glaries committed here on Sunday and Sunday night, to the commission of which Alman McAdams, year old white boy confessed and implicated Clarence Davis, Il year old white boy.
 Davis admitted to the police that he assisted in the robbery of the tent knife rack, but denied implication of any kind in the other robberies. The officers be- lieved the boys were either frightened into telling what they did, or that they had been merely the tools of some older heads. That they had more or less in- innate knowledge of the crime, however, none doubted.
 Today, however, Robert D. Lee Davis. a year old negro boy, and Willis Pratt, 10 year old black boy, were arrested and told practically the same story as that related by the white boys yesterday. The little negroes, however, told where some of the stolen goods were hid, and the officers have succeeded in locating nearly all of it. The shotgun is still miss ing.
 The negroes told almost identically the same story as that of the white boys, 
 hammer to break the plate glass windows instead of brickbat. They claimed they went inside the bakery where they en- joyed a rare feast, eating all the cakes, candy and jellies they wanted, and then filled up a candy tray with other good things that they gave to hackman The hackman has not yet been located.
 The officers are at a loss to understand the two stories. The negroes swear posi- lively that the white boys were not with them, and that they alone committed the crimes. The white boys are just as positive in their statements. and say that the negroes were not with them. The police believe that either the two gangs of youths each committed a similar series of crimes. visiting some of the same places, especially where the win dows were broken In two places, or that some older and more experienced criminal mind directed them in the stories that are being told

Finland and Poland.

Finland was wrested from Sweden in 1909, and the Czar was accepted as Grand Duke of Finland under a promise on his part to respect the constitution of the Finlanders and to see that their institutions, language and liberties were preserved. This promise was kept by all the Czars down to the present one, who under took to Russianize Finland--a step that has been resisted by the Fins even to the verge of revolution.
 An ukase just issued convenes at Helsingfors an extraordinary diet to establish parliament on the basis of manhood suffrage with the establish ment of the responsibility of the local authorities to the nations deputies" Freedom of the press, of meetings and of unions are also to be considered by the diet.
 This restores the rights of the Fins, which they had in 1909, and all the rest of the world will rejoice over the just and happy event. The peo- pie of Finland deserve the good for tune they have snatched from the Russian revolution. Less than one per cent of their number are illit- crates, and there are few criminals among them. So great is the degree of comfort that there are few paupers or drunkards, and now that the peo- ple have regained their ancient liber- ties contentment will reign through out all Finland.
 Poland will naturally desire to be treated as Finland has been, and there will be no peace in that part of Russia until local government is granted to the devoted Poles. The steps to be taken in Poland will be slower than

Circus May Winter Here.

F. T. Rose, local contractor for Sells x Downs circus, is at the Morris, making arrangements for the appearance of his show in Birmingham November 2S
 Tt is possible that we may decide to spend the winter in Birmingham if we are offered any inducements,' said MT. Rose yesterday. We have been making our winter headquarters in Topeka, but have looked over the field here and see no req son why we should go back to Kansas this year. It would be convenient for us to close our season here, November 2S pay off our employees and spend the win ter in Birmingham.
 "As we have great many employees the fact that they will receive their sal aries here should interest the merchants If we decide to stay here all winter we will of course have to spend large sums of money in feeding our animals ana tah- ing care of our equipment.
 ''In Topeka we are given the use or mark free of charge and when III the spring we begin our tour, the city permlts us to give two performances without pay ing any license.

First Steel Boat.

'The south," said a Chattanooga man, lis getting to be up-to-date. We have steel frame buildings and now on the Tennessee river we have launched our first steel steamer. The boat is of light draught. for service on the river waters above Chattanooga.
 Ut is not the biggest boat afloat, but so far as it goes it is wholly southern in construction. All parts of the boat are to be built in the south.
 "The time is coming when steel steam CTS will be built and launched In this dstrict-steamers, that Is to say, for use on river waters, and Alabama is a river state. There are probably more miles of river in the state that are or can be made navigable than any other state in the country. We do not fully appreciate our magnificent rivers-the Coosa. the Tombigbee, the Warrior, the Alabama, the Tennessee. All are splendid rivers, and all will yet be rendered navigable."

 The movement has been incubating in Atlanta for year, and it has grown un- til 1t could no longer be concealed. A permanent organization is to be formed in the next few days, and a man of national reputation will be selected as director general.
 The name of General Joe Wheeler has teen suggested as the fairs head and front, and if he will accept the post he may be selected.
 All the leading business men of At lanta are behind the movement, and all effort will be made to organize the best fair ever held in the south. The exposi- ton of 1910 is a popular subject in Atlanta at present"

With him were Mrs. Roosevelt, Secretary Root and Assistant Secretary Bacon of the state department.

 Particular interest was manifested by the President and his associates in the reports of the New York city, Massachus- etts. Ohio and Maryland. None of the dispatches received at the White House was made public, and it was announced that the President would not have any statement to make tonight regarding the results in the several states.
