DueIs for Love.

Duels of various kinds, from the
set-to with fists up to the combat with
knives or bows and arrows, are still
undertaken in the interests of love
in sundry places of the earth. The
Muras fight with their fists, some of
the Mexican tribes use the cold steel
and at least one North American tribe
relies upon bow and arrow.

 According to a caDIegram from Lon don to The New York Times our Eng fish cousins think the scandals in some of the big life insurance companies over here will be good for them. It is stated on the same authority that the Equitable Company of New York carries s2k, 900 of insurance on British lives. If this is true, and if other large American companies are getting a fair share of English business the entire amount must run into the hundreds of millions.
 Now if the scandals and exposures of late should have the not unnatural ef- feet of making the Britishers suspicious of American insurance will it not be natural for them to withdraw enough of their business from us to make 1t a serious matter? We could hardly blame them, if they read the American news papers. And would it not be some thing of a jar to our self-esteem If rich Americans should also lose con- fdence fin home companies and send their business to England? That would be turning the tables with a vengeance and neither of these suggestions Is im- possible.

WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER (, 1905.
SOUND ARGUMENTS.

The New York Commercial is not such a thorough advocate of what it aesignates Political Sanctity" as some of it's Republican brethren appear to be. Noting the fact that some are saying that the Republicans should not allow the name of Jerome on their ticket The Commercial asks:
 why not? The question is academic, of course. until Jerome shall have been nominated by the Odell -Halpfn ma chine" But party seif-respect and personal seif-respect are, or should be, practically identical quantities. Let us suppose that John Henry Brown. life- long Republican and now a good gov after due deliberation that his duty calls him to vote for Jerome for dis frict attorney Let us suppose, too, that on the same day a notorious gam takes the stump for Jerome. Is the candidate any worse or any better from that fact? Are not the considerations that moved Brown to support Jerome just as strong. just as compelling, as they were before? Can any sane citi- zen argue logically in this way: T disreputabie man. supports. I must vote in the very best company or not at all.'' Wouldn't the good-govern- ment structure crumble to pieces if
 
 position?
 MT. Jerome can't possibly prevent in- dorsements of his candidacy--a per sonal candidacy. through nomination by petition-by Tom, Dick or Harry, no matter how pure or how disreputable the indorser. Must the saints pull down" the Angel Gabriel because, for Hooth, the brother of Abel happens to be supporting him? .....
 The questions and arguments are sound By common consent Jerome has made a good prosecuting attorney. The issues involved are purely local. New York has rarely stood more in need of a fearless and conscientious prosecuting officer than it does right niw. and if Jerome is that kind of of fcsaI it will be creditable to the voters Democrats and Republicans alike, to re- elect him. It appears to be case where political partisanship is not call ed for.

A SHORT CROP.

All the spectators and speculative theories that may be started cannot break the force of the fact that the cotton crop of 1905-06 will be at least two and a half millions bales short of last year That in our judgment is at least half a million bales above the mark. Say what they may the worlds requirements were for the whole of the last unprecedented crop. and but few mills have any very extensive stocks on hand. If then the demand was for 13,500, ,00O bales during the period of a war which greatly interfered with sales to cotton using countries what can pre- vent the sale of every pound of cotton that has been raised. when the whole Eastern country is assuming its normal commercial status.
 The efforts of the bear spectators few points. but if the cotton growers will only work together they can con- trol the situation. Those who are in debt should sell when they can obtain as good prices as now prevail, for they can make some money even with q short crop. Those, however, who are in disposing of what they have. At least this appears to us. to be the logic of the situation.

one doesn't know. Here is one Pro- lessor spfllman. of the Department or Agriculture, who tells the country that scientific farming is farming at a net profit of $50 an acre" Anything less than that Is "unscientific.'
 There Is litle doubt that more careful and scientific methods on the farm, talk ing advantage of all new discoveries and Improvements would materially in- crease the profits of the farm and orchard. but the farmer who actually tIlls the soil or manages the farm, and who knows all the uncertainties and contingencies of farming will not take much stock in the spillman idea that any farmer should make net profit of $50 an acre at the business. If that could be universally accomplished the banks couldn't hold all the money the farmers would have.

WHEN THE KIDNs

The Urgent Need of Prom tive Measures is Se . That Every Ono .,0
 understar,
"A Stitch in Time Save. ..

Slight disorders in the kidneys or uri' nary organs are more serious than most people think. The first warning symp- toms should receive prompt medical treatment to ward off Bright's Disease or some other dangerous malady. When the kidneys are ailing and the symptoms become sufficiently pronounced to be noticeable the condition calls at once for prompt measures to stay the progress of the disease. Prickly Ash Bitters is the remedy needed. Taken on the ap- pearance of the first symptoms. such as pain in the back, pufiness under the eyes, irregularities in the urine, digestive disorders, it will save the victim incal- culable misery and suffering, mental torture and expense. Used at the begin- ming of the trouble it cures quickly. Used in the more advanced stages it will win back health and strength as rapidly as circumstances will possibly permit.
 Accept no substitute. Insist on having
 the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
 large figure in red on the front label.

STOCKHOLDERS MEET.
Discussed Condition of Defunct Union
 Cotton Mills of South Carolina.

Cotton Mills of south CarOl1na.
 Charlotte, N C., Oct 3.-A special to The Observer from Union. s. C., says a special meeting of the stockholders of of the largest in the State. was held this afternoon for the purpose of eff fecting reorganization. .'.... s:-.
 Stockholders were present from Bal timore. New York and other Eastern cities. Of the 7,5S0 shares. 6,614 were represented in person and by proxy. The feature of the meeting, which last ed for two hours, was the submitting g by expert accountants. who have been at work on the company books for some time, of a statement of the mills s condition. This report showed liabili- ties Of $2,70O, ,0O0. and revealed the fact that the mill had been losing money for several yeats, only maintaining itself by speculatlSn In cotton.
 Since January 1st, however, 1t ap- pears that the mill has lost $500, ,0O0 by speculation. The report also show ed that President Duncan was indi- vidually indebted to the mill $4S1. 900. and the Buffalo mills, with which he Is connected, is indebted to 1t in the sum of $500,O00. President Duncan made a lengthy statement, in which he said that his borrowings were secured by stock in other enterprises.
 It Is unofflcially reported that some of the stockholders demanded his res ignation as President and director, but he refused to resign. At 10 o'clock to- morrow another meeting will be held. at which 1t is expected new. officers will be elected. At the conclusion of this meeting the stockholders of the Buffalo mills. located at the same place, will be held for a similar purpose.

The Montgomery County Cotton Growers Association is a working body and gives promise of doing much good. It would be to the interest of every farmer in the county to join it. and to scrupulously abide by its rules and regulations. The mermership fee is not exorbitant-only q. while the beneft may be incalculable. Every member is expected to pay dues to the extent of cents on each bale produced. which is certainly very moderate. Non pro- ducers pay dues of 25 cents. The off, ficers of the County Association are W. H. Vaughn, President; Charles L. Gay, Secretary; N. B. Williams. County Organizer and A.

Warm Poetry.

Editor E. H. Smith of The chula News has published a little book of se- lections from his editorial columns un- der the title of -Four Flushes." Here is sample one: ITO Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Greeting: The following which we quote from Poems of Passion.' by Ella Wheeler Wilcox. is probably the warmset thing of its size eXtant:
 If I were a raindrop and you were a
 leaf
 I would burst from the clouds above And lie on your breast in a rapture of
 rest And love you. love you. love you" This is short but brilliant. like the tail of a mallard duck, and Ella has the sympathy of every man in Utica In her suffering. In their behalf we must respond:
 If were a cannibal chieftain bold And I should chance to meet you, I'd carry you far from the haunts ot
 men
 And-eat you, eat you. eat you" Kansas City Times.

MANY INVENTIONS.

It is little less than amazing to take a look backward and note the lack Of inventiveness of the people Of all nations in old times. We look back to the sculptures, paintings and buildings of the ancient Greeks and are filled with wonder at the talent and skill dis played by them in accomplishing tasks that are even now the wonder and ad- miration of the world. We go to an- cient Carthage, Thebes, Palmyra. and to the ruins of cities which have been buried for many centuries and feel almost humbled when we contemplate the grandeur and beauty of their labors.
 And yet, for all we can discover to the contrary, the men who accomplish ed these wonders may be compared to ants in the methods of work. They knew almost nothing of machinery of any kind. The Indians who were found by the white man on this continent had almost as much knowledge of labor saving machinery as did the Greeks and other ancients who left behind them some of the noblest and most beautiful works the world has ever seen.
 And the wonder of it is that this lack of inventiveness held sway during all the advance of civilization up to a very few centuries ago. The riders and charioteers of Pharaoh could convey his orders from army to army, or from one portion of his kingdom to another more rapidly than Washington could have it done. The movements of armies and army stores could be accomplished in Hannibars day with as much celerity as could be done by Andrew Jackson. Ceasar could send a message from Gaul to Rome as quickly as our old Hickory could send one from New Orleans to Washington. The ships of Paul Jones were not swifter or stronger than were the vessels of ancient Rome.
 And so It was through all the ages of the past. Doubtless the workmen who shaped the timbers and blanks for Noah's ark made as swift progress at their work as did the Puritans who built their houses in America. Homer | could have his works copied and null | tiplied as quick as Chancer could his. Christopher Columbus could no more carry the time in his pocket than Moses or Aaron could. There are men and women living in the United States who were grown when the first trains were run and when the first telegraphic message was sent. Children who saw the first electric cars have hardly pass ed the4r school days :. And so we might go on and speak of the powerful and accurate machinery
 which fills our shops: of the mills of all sorts which take the place of human hands in doing the worlds work, and of the almost innumerable inventions and improvements which have come to humanity fin the few centuries just past. The inventive genius of man was long in starting. but 1t is making up for 1t now

MONTGOMERY AND THE PREsI-
 DENTS VISIT,

Always count on The Birmingham Age-Herald doing injustice to Mont gomery and seeking as far as 1t can to improperly place this city before the public. It copied in yesterdays issue an article from The New York Sun and did not in any manner attempt to set that paper right. We publish the Sun article in full on this page and would inform it that the opposition of one Alderman to a resolution appropriating a sum of money for meeting expenses connected with the Presidents expected visit was based on what The Sun says. would be respectable" It has no right to assume anything that did not happen and placard Montgomery as be- ing averse to the Presidents visit be- cause a majority of our citizens are not in accord with his political views. The Alderman's contention was that enter tainment fund should be by popular
 subscription and not out of the city treasury.
 The acting Mayor of the city at that meeting was in the Council Chamber
 as a member. The Mayor at the time of the meeting was at deaths door and has since passed away. While the matter of the appropriation was before the Council the Acting Mayor was call ed out on official business and was in the mayors office. He did not know until the meeting adjourned that his absence broke a quorum and has since said that he would have voted for the appropriation.
 The regular meeting night Of the Council was last Monday. but while Mayor Carr was lying cold in death the Aldermen could not violate all proprlety and transact city business. There has been no time between the time when the resolution was offered and the pre- sent when the Council could well meet. We have no doubt that 1t will at an early date adopt the resolution and if The New/York Sun had known the facts we do not believe it would have turned it's batteries against this city. As to the Birmingham paper, we hope 1t will at least do Montgomery the justice to copy this statement.
 Montgomery is making full prepara- ton to show the President all the honor due to the exalted station and he will have a warm and cordial reception here
