Jubilee Day at the Fair.

The weather is glorious-cool, brac- ing and health-giving. The people of Alabama should breathe 1t today in the ample spaces, among the evidences of Alabama energy and skill, of the fair grounds.
 No one need apprehend a need of room. The trolley cars will have short headway, and the grounds consist of nearly one hundred acres, and no one can be crowded in that amount of space. The grandstand is the largest and finest ever erected in the south. It is finely equipped, and five thousand people can be comfortably seated on 1t.
 Birmingham has a foundation for great annual event, and every citizen should do his best to give it hand some send-off, and today should be made the Jubilee Day of the fair, even if the management has not given it that Lame.
 A fair as a permanent institution cannot be built in single season, but this year the people can come to the and of the fair association in manner that will not only render the present fair highly enjoyable, but pave the way for succession of them as the years roll around.
 But there is now on the fair grounds a lot of exhibits-flne cattle, fine machinery, fine products of the soil, fine poultry and last, but not least, very fine articles made by Alabama's fair women. These articles in this mellow October weather constitute splendid fair, and the people should show their appreciation of the effort by making today a genuine Jubilee Day at the fair grounds.

Conner and a Cartoon.


 T listened with interest to the speech made by Mr. Conner at Taladega," said a cotton man last night
 T was especially pleased with MT. Co., mer's allusion to the cartoonist of The Age-Herald. To me. a cotton nan, the allusion was most interesting.
 MT Conner was talking about the de- crease in cotton acreage, and was urging the cotton planters to respect the law of supply and demand in the cotton market. He told them that when they made up their minds to reduce the cotton acreage they ought to reduce it. To illustrate his point he referred to the cartoon in The Age Herald printed, I think, several months ago. The cartoon represented two farmers planting cotton on the opposite sides Of a fence. One of them asked the other what he was planting. No. l said, 'Squashes.' No. 2 said, 'Cowcumbers' The Talladega audience appreciated the point. I think" added the cotton man, that that cartoon was the best thing of It's kind printed in the newspapers. It cer- tainly helped a great deal in reducing the cotton acreage in Alabama. In It's car toonist The Age-Herald has one of the cleverest artists in the south

Yellow lack Conquered.

The great battle waged against vel low fever in New Orleans has been won by the marine hospital service, aided by the generosity and co-opera- ton of city and state. A killing frost is at least month away in New Or leans. and yet Dr. White and his assist ants have stamped out the fever, prac- tically speaking The flag ends of it will soon disappear.
 The mosquito theory stands wholly sustained, and what is more to the point, the disease stands whipped even where negligence had given it big foothold. If the marine hospital serv- ice be retained at New Orleans the dread fever will never again secure a foothold in that city. Never again. The history of this years fever is con- vincing proof that the federal service can cope with it and conquer it.
 The Mississippi quarantine against New Orleans has been lifted, the Texas quarantine soon will be, and perhaps Alabama will take similar action soon afterwards. Mobile must, however, be protected to the last hour of danger, and this may postpone for few days the lifting of the alabama quarantine.
 The fever is now, practically speak ing. confined to Natchez, Vicksburg and Pensacola. It exists in epidemic form at Pensacola. where state and To- cal authorities are in full control. Florida Is getting a lesson that she should heed hereafter. Natchez and yicksburg have plenty of fever, but neither is so fully infected as is Pen sacola, which has become the chief fever center of the country.

Ohie's Hot Contest.

The campaign in Ohio is the hottest in the ten states that elect state off, cers on November '. It is hotter even than that in Pennsylvania or in Mary land. It Is the outgrowth of variety of circumstances, all of them being concentrated in and leaning upon the present campaign.
 Governor Herrick is confronted by sharp division in his own party. Gov ernor Herrick is member of the ''old Hanna crowd" and Senator Dick is his supporter. President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft and Senator Foraker are not warm supporters of the Hanna ideas or the Hanna machine. The war between the two wings of the party goes merrily on, and Governor Herrick is the victim of the fight within the party.
 Governor Herrick, too, angered the opponents of saloons in Ohio through his action during the session of the last Legislature, and the temperance vote of the state is lined up in favor of John M. Pattison and against Gov. ernor Herrick. The temperance folks in Ohio are as a rule republicans, and if they bolt their party at the same time that the anti-Hanna men do, MT. Pattison will be elected.
 Governor Herrick's plurality two years ago was 113,OO0 and it will re- quire many changes to overcome 1t, but the betting seems to show that the changes will be forthcoming. Pattison is a Cincinnati business man on whose record there Is no blot. Governor Her. rick's record is very vulnerable, and the contest is considered one of great doubt and uncertainty.

POLICE TO BE BUSY.
All the Men Will Be on Duty This
 Afternoon.

The entire police department has been ordered to assemble at police headduar- ters at noon today for the purpose of re- ceiving instructions from Chief Wier as to what they are to do this afternoon and tonight during the parade and visit of President Roosevelt. Orders to this eff feet were made by Chief Wier yesterday and read to all the men.
 When the morning men report off duty at noon they will be assigned districts to cover during the parade, and similar in- structions will be given the evening watch. In this way the chief expects to have the city well policed Besides the uniformed men, the plain clothes force has been doubled. This squad will work in crowds, where pickpockets are likely to attempt to relieve people of their val uables.
 After the President has been received at the depot and escorted to his carriage Chief Wier will select a cordon of six teen bluecoats and head the parade that will move along Twentieth street to Capi- tol park Prior to the reading of the general orders at noon many of the men will try on their new uniforms, some of which arrived Saturday. The balance may reach here in time this morning for the entire force to be dressed in newest winter clothes. otherwise only portion of the men will wear new uniforms.

Greetinu the President.

President Roosevelt is in Alabama, and he will before nightfall enter this city. The trains from all points of the compass today will bring here ,thous- ands, even tens of thousands, eager to welcome the head of the nation, and a true democrat in the larger sense of the word, to Alabama soil
 The heartiness of the Presidents welcome in this city will be due in great part to the public belief in his sincerity and in his devotion to the underlying principles of the republic. Let us today make the President feel and know that this belief Is as deep and general in Alabama as it is in any other city in the entire union.
 All who will greet the President to- day-and their number will be legion will not endorse all his views but all will admit his earnestness and direct ness in public affairs-his honesty and sincerity in other words, whereby he has won position in the hearts of the people above and beyond his fellows. His mistakes are never mistakes of the heart. He is not infallible, for he Is put a man, but he is man from the ground up, earnest, honest and sincere.
 Above all else he is an American who believes in the brotherhood of man in general and the American re- public in particular. He Is working might and main in his present trip to drive out the relics of sectionalsm, and to make the country one and in- divisible forever.
 We can well afford to welcome to Birmingham today such man. The Age-Herald predicts a reception that will spring spontaneously from all hearts. A sincere multitude will vel come to Alabama a sincere President. This is what today's reception will mean, and each and all will strive to make that meaning plain. The man who disregards when necessary party and pOliticians-who stands for all in every crisis-to whom Privilege ap- peals in yain-is the man we will wei come, and the honest southern heart will speak today Tn no uncertain tones.

Recerd of the Confederate Navy.

The operations of the Confederate navy are coming to be considered an honor to the entire nation. Students of the civil war have long assigned the Confederatae navy high place, and the presentation in the annual report of the superintendent of library and var records of the navy department on the work of the Confederate ships will bring the subject before the masses of the people. Superintendent Charles w. Stewart of the navy de- partment, who presents the report, says "the records, which include the construction. equipment and perform ance of ironclads, cruisers, torpedoes and torpedo boats, stand as a monu- nAnt to the energy. skill and daring

of Confederate officers and soldiers
 For the first time in history the op- erations of the Confederate navy will be presented in the forthcoming an nual report. The time Is fast coming when the entire country will speak with unqualified praise and admiration of the Confederate ships and of their achievements under the most discour- aging circumstances. Those ships had as rule no base-at least no secure base. and yet they were felt through out the war and throughout the world.
 The forthcoming report of Superin- tendent Stewart will be awaited with interest. It will command attention in all parts of the country It is be- lieved that it will present the glorious record fully and truthfully.

At the 6ilou.

Did you ever visit the country at even tide and hear the young people sing some old melody that sounded like a Song at Sunset?' Did you ever attend the vil- lage meeting house that had two or three lanes leading to 1t? Has it ever been your pleasure to visit a country store that was conducted in connection with the postoffice? If so your should not miss seeing all those things in York State Folks" who. after all, are very much like the Alabama folks that form the enter prising communities in sections of the state not on any railroad.
 Alabama folks turned out in large num- bers last night to attend the entertain- ment given at the Bijou by York State Folks" All agreed that there was a warm place in each individual heart for the players that told in words and action the pretty story of village life at Mar tinsville, New York
 Rural life and scenes very true to na- ture are presented in York State Folks ' It is pastoral play that keeps ones at tention riveted on the people of the vil- lage There is no shift of scene from Martinville to New York City, of Chica- go or any other place. Myron Cooper, the hero Of the play, did say something about spending much of his life visiting Syracuse and Rochester, but the audience only fingered on those two places long enough to laugh. He visited Rochester in 1862 and was in Syracuse ten years later for three whole days This part was played by Ray L. Royce, character ac- tor of exceptional ability. While it does not call for the dramatic action that is exacted in pastoral plays like ''The Old Homestead" Shore Acres" and others, MT. Royce does all that is required of him and never failed to awaken tender emo tions when making sacrifices for those who are wont to oppress him.
 However odious comparisons may be, it may be said of Mr. Boyce that he ranks with such actors as Denman Thompson, James A. Herne and others who possess the power of touching the emotional chords of the heart. AS a foil to Mr. Bovce 1t would take a mighty fine actor to serve by contrast than James Lackaye, who portrayed the part of Simon Peter Martin, president of the village, who had an iron will and fell out with his life long friend, Cooper. because he voted for d railroad to run through the town. He was everything that was not represented by his friend, and so mean that his bad nature was said 10 be turned on the outside all the time. 1t is sufficient to say that he acted the. part so we'll that the

Georgia Cotton.

."Fhe Georgia state fair held last week in Atlanta" said the ex-Atlantian, con tained many interesting exhibits, none however. so interesting as six and half bales picked from single acre in Ogle- thorpe county.
 "The seed used was of the Drake va riety. sixty bolls of which makes a pound of lint. The bolls are large and the seed small.
 "Strangest of all it fruits between the joints, and no other variety does that. It is so prolific that when the joints are surrounded with bolls little veins shoot upward and produce perfect bolls between joints. These bolls contain as much lint as any other on the plant.
 .'"The Drake Defiance cotton will, it is claimed, make four bales on any good land.
 Georgia Is full of big crops this year. John B. Brodewell of Milton county grew fourteen bales on four acres. He did it by the selection of seed and by careful cul- tivation. Intensive cultivation will be- come the fashion if such yields become feasible, and it Is claimed they are."

Planters of Cherokee.

"Planters were not asleep in Cherokee county last Saturday when cotton made an upward bound" said w. H. McElreth' q visitor at the fair, yesterday. "They didn't wait to see whet the rise amounted to but piled on as may bales as douDie teams could pull and went to market Immediately. Those going to Rome' Ga' which is very near the Alabama line ana the county in which I live. got as much as 10 2-5 cents for their cotton. The 2-oc was velvet for the farmers, who arc all ways satisfied when they can get 10 cents for the staple. Others wended their way to Gadsden and found no trouble in get ting 9.9O for their cotton( some of which had been stored away for many months.
 "While the crop in the eastern part of the state, that Is, the section in which l live, has been curtailed somewhat, 1t will average much more than was thought two months ago. Half of the crop has been picked and there Is still as much in the field as we thought would be produced.
 "We have been too busy with cotton picking and other things to bother much about politics Really, don't think many of the farmers care who Is elected gov- ernor. They know we are having an era of prosperity and are endeavoring to get their share of it.
 Improvements are going on steadily in our county. New gins have been erected and other industries dot the streets of Center, the county seat of Cherokee county. Probably one of the finest gins ever erected In that vicinity has just been completed by Dr. s. c. Tatum and Mill ton Smith at a cost of no less than s4OO0. It is in operation at the present time and is attracting farmers from many miles," While in the city MT. McElreth will be the guest of his brother, J. B. McElreth, 250S Avenue E.

"The men who will act as guard or honor to President Roosevelt in the pa rade this afternoon. said Gen. Louis V. Clark, chief marshal, are the only four men in Alabama who were in Roosevelt s famous rough rider regiment.
 "The men are fine soldiers and will attract some attention in the parade this afternoon, I believe. They are from Selma They will ride as follows:
 "Mr. Hooper Adams, Troop K. eight feet to front and right of horses; MT. Pe- ter Force, Troop c, eight feet to front and left of horses; MT. w. P.

 Girls dream they have curly hair the way men do that they are John D. Rock feller.
 People jeer at women who kiss dogs hut 1t is much better for that kind than to try to raise children.

A Suggestion.

1T would be glad" said w D. Holmes, the popular travelling salesman yesterday, If the fair grounds at Fairview would be laid off in trees and grass and used as a public park during the months when the fair is not in progress.
 "The Georgia state fair grounds at Ma con are used as a park and present a beautiful appearance at all times. The fair grounds here have an ideal location and if kept in condition the year round would be much prettier when the time for the fair comes round.
 .The Macon grounds are among the prettest in the south. and the grounds here could be made equally as attractive. A good park around Birmingham would attract many people, and the fair grounds offers a good site for such breathing spot"
