THE SURPLUS.

What are we going to do with that big surplus? Is 1t to stay in the treas ury and grow larger Snsi osrtee ,hs aegfisla fso now? It is the most serious problem that confronts Alabama today:
 If Is not prudence to have that mnca af business to have that much cash taken out of regular business channels ana held h vault Money IS not iKe i,s d vault It is not like beer to get bet ter by being kept in lager. Money IS useful only when 1t moves rapidly
 Alabama needs development and has this vast sum of money stored away. No law should stand that even permits that much money to lie in vault by the year. The law needs alteration as soon as possible.
 The above Is from The Birmingham Ledger. Governor Jeiks was right in his contention that there was large surplus in the State Treasury. Off, ficial statements show it was nearly million of dollars after dedueting the amsunt due old soldiers on pensions. That amount Is to be paid out at once. The remainder will be continually added to by constant payments into the State Treasury. The school money Is to be paid out during the current twelve months, and yet there was prac- ticaily enough in the State Treasury on ths ast inst to have paid at'all It will not be needed except at stated periods and when paid out other money comes right In to take its place. The State could, without endangering a single interest, have paid ofr the s1,ooo.ooo of bonds due in January if existing law allowed the Governor discretion to pay or refund. In absence of authority to retire. he has had to sell new bonds to take up old ones. while there is prac- tically one million dollars idle in the Treasury vaults.

Some weeks ago it was given out with all the positiveness of absolute boss dictation that Postmaster Buck lev's efieial days were numbered. Mir. Thompson. chief referee for Alabama, was very busy about the matter, but it turns out that he was somewhat pre- vious in his announcements, as the Postofice Department announces no change Is contemplated here. Within the last few days it was given out that Register Of the Land once Barber had been removed. Removal means being put out bodily and without ceremony. It turns out that MT. Barber will serve out his full term. which has several months to run. The indications are that he will not be reappointed, but he has not been removed.

 well, you may ring the bell?" How hard each tow haired youngster

 Had chanced to spell us down. 1 say, how well behaved were we

LABOR FOR THE SOUTH.

The Washington Times has an edi- torial on the subject of Italian immi- grafton to the South, in the course of which 1t quotes Mir. l.. J. Bryant of Kentucky, who opposes the move ment. He holds that the negroes of the South are able to keep pace with the other races of men, and tells us that the Italian holds human life lightly; that he carries yellow fever wherever he goes; and that the negroes now put out of employment by the coming of the Italians will bring to a sudden and dangerous climax the whole ques- tion of the negro's future" Then he wants to know why any one should want to turn the South upside down ?" To this The Times says, in part:
 The Italian, viewed at his worst. does not hold human life any more lightly-he could not-than the negro viewed at his worst, and the South is at home warrants faith that he will obey the law when he makes new home somewhere else He does moi carry yellow fever anywhere in Amer. let unless the American health author ities are eriminally negligent As for the negroes put out of employment bv the coming of the Italian, they will dS when that Issue arises, what they ouebt to do now--work six days in the week

Birmingham Ledger.
 The Washington Star feels sure that in the South. He surely will be well comed in all the cities, because he Is the President of the United States and ceive a fitting welcome from our peo- pie without regard to party.
 There are thousands of people in the South who admire MT. Roosevelt most enthusiastically and there are some who do not admire him at all There is principle of hospitality that pre- vails and there will be such a welcome as a distinguished guest should have and such as the President of the United States should have.

A vIsit to CuIiman

Captain William selden. of the Ala bama Department cf Agriculture and Industries, returned tc Montgomery yes terday from Cullman County, where he made a visit to many of the fruit and grape orchards under cultivation by thu, Germans and Westerners. Captain Sell den concludes from this trip that It Is at the same time the poorest and rfch- est county in the State.
 Of late large number of immigrants from Iowa and the Dakotas have set tied in the county and are about as industrious as the German element In the famous agriculture and horticulture of that section. Thefe is hardly ne- gro to be found In the whole county. White men are behind the blows and in the orchards for all kinds of work The county does not owe a cent of money and Cullnian has a good court county offices as most any other county according to Captain seldsn's observa- tion.

Would ao Great Good.

Selma Journal.
 We would like to see a corn and al- falfa special run through the agrioul- tural districts of Alabama. Professor Holden has demonstrated beyond doubt that if farmers will listen to his lee lures and adopt his methods of seed selection they can more than double their corn crop. The farmers of Iowa have actually done so. There are thousands of acres of land in this State especially fitted for the growing of all falfa and already a number of progress sive farmers in this section have secured a beginning in it's cultivation and are highly pleased with the crop. A special train run on the plan of the Kentucky train would be paying in vestment to this State and we would like to see 1t speeding through the fertile lands of Alabama scattering in formation and knowledge.

 If every man who owns property in Birmingham would pay fair taxes on it's real value instead of it's assessed value this city could have very much better fire department, much better police force, better sanitation and bet ter municipal improvements generally. And as a result of all these benefits every man who owns property would be that much more prosperous. No man who fails to pay his just propor- tion of taxes has a right to complain of
 the lack of municipal Improvements. They cannot be had without money de- rived from taxation.
