Railroad Companies Pleased.

A representative of the passenger de- partment of one of the railroads entering Birmingham. speaking of the ordinance recently passed by the city regulating the business of ticket scalping says 1t will prove of great benefit to the travelling public and the city. While the railroads feel that they are justly entitled to this protection" said the railroad man, 'they will not prove ungrateful. It will result in a more liberal policy in the making of re- duced rates to this city during special occasions The rates may not be lower than those made in the past but they will be granted for more occasions and with longer return limits. Stop-overs at Birmingham will probably be granted on all round trip tickets routed through this gateway.
 'sUnder certain conditions the local passenger representatives are already em- powered to grand stop-overs and extension of limits on one way tickets. reading through Birmingham. Still greater lati- tude will be allowed them now, that the city has passed an ordinance protecting their revenue. Similar ordinances have been passed in many of the large cities of the country, and when all of them have done so many of the protective con ditions thrown around railroad tickets will be discontinued. and the travelling public will not be bothered with what they con slider unnecessary red tape"

AUTHORITY ON COTTON
 WRITES ON SITUATION

would make their entire purchases for the season about 12, 220, 600 bales.
 'If our commercial crop should be as much as 5OOOOO bales more than this, the addition to the stocks in American and European markets should not unfayorably affect prices.
 q think cotton Is too low. and that the great decline has been largely due to speculative influences Surely the spin ners did not expect so great decline or they would not have bought so freely ear Her in the season, when prices were several cents per pound dearer. An ad- vance of a cent and a half per pound would undoubtedly promote the interests of a majority of the spinners, as 1t would cause a steader market and larger de- nand for cotton goods At the advance there would be a better demand for cot ton for spinning and for investment than there is today
 "The course of the market for the next few months rests entirely with the pres ent holders of cotton in the south. If they will market 1t slowly and only as they actually require the money from it's sale, 1t is likely a reaction to better prices would occur. In the season of lS9S- 99 fully 100000 bales were held back in the interior until the following season, and the financial condition of the south is in- finitely better now than at that time. Let the southern owners of cotton hold 1t with the .Stonewall' tenacity with which Jackson's brigade held the line of battle at Bull Run, and in this fight over the price they will gain the victory they deserve.
 "A substantial reduction of acreage, however, is essential to a permanent im- provement in price. and such reduction can be safely left to the good judgment and self-interest of each southern farm CT"

THE NEW DoGBERRY.

From the New York Tribune
 From Jefferson City, Mo-, comes word that Governor Folk has laid down new rule for professional lobbyists. They must report to the Governor immediately upon arrival. state their business, issue no railroad passes and get out of town within thirty hours. The report falls to state what the Governor will do if the lob byists fail to comply with his rule. If. like the "vagrom men" that Dogberry or dered the watch to comprehend the pro- fessional lobbyists will not report. the Governor, perhaps, will conclude there are none, and thank God he is rid of the knaVes.

Disbursements in Jefferson County.

Disbursements in Jefferson County.
 Atlanta's new mayor and also its Board of Aldermen favor the plan of having a city paymaster, who is to have charge of all payrolls. He is to be the city's sole disbursing officer, although other authorities must, of course, first approve and authorize disbursements. The proposed new officer Is simply to be a paymaster who is to be a check upon unauthor' ized payments.
 Auditor Morris goes still further tn his plans of reform for Jefferson coun- ty. He wants but one disbursing board or head, namely, the Board of Revenue, and he would have this board made responsible to the people for every dollar of the county s money that is expended. The cor oner's office and all other county off cers should be brought under the Board of Revenue at least so far as disbursements are concerned.
 At present the people can hold no one board and no one person respon- sible if disbursements exceed re- ceipts, or if wasteful expenditures are made. The Board of Revenue can say they did not do it, and the other officers may not care what the peo- pie think or say. Auditor Morris says the county has many disbursing heads. This is not business-like. It affords the people no chance. Their terms of office vary, and so do their powers. All Is at loose ends. MT. Morris is in position to express a valuable opinion of the needs of the county. We may not need a paymas. ter, as Atlanta does, but we certainly need 8 standardization of disbursing powers. Those powers should be fo- calized somewhere, and the Board of Revenue is plainly the best board to become the county's sole disbursing head

Ex.sTATE AUDITOR OF INDIANA
UNDER ARREST ON EMBEz-

IN HEAVY. BOND.

indianapolis, Sept. 16-David e.
Sherrick, ex-auditor Of state, is under
arrest charged with embezzlement of
the states funds. He waived exam,
nation and has been bound over to
the grand jury under heavy bond.
1t was after II p. m. when detec-
t1yes called at the Sherrick home
The officers found Sherrick in a nerv.
GUS condition bordering on collapse
DR.. G. E. Cottingham was called tc
the apartments and he advised the de.
tectives to allow Mr.. SherT;ck to stay
In his room until morning.
Some time after midnight County
Auditor Cyrus ]. Clark and another
man called and talked with Mr.. Sher.
rick for some time. Earlier in the
night there was constant stream OF
callers from among the friends of Mr..
Sherrick. From the conversations
that took place within the hearing OF
the detectives it could be seen that
Sherrick was bitter toward the gov,
ernOr for his action.
Investigation of the securities
which were placed in the hands of the
governor tends to show that they
are of sufficient value to protect the
state, if taken with the 100000 bond
of the American Surety company.
Shortly after 2 p. m. Sherrick ap
peared before Judge Whallon, who
held him to the next session Of the
grand jury and fixed his bond at $25,

individuals and one trust company
