The Poorest County.

q have been reading about the best counties in the state all my life, but never read about the poorest one," said story teller yesterday at the St. Nicho- las. "rll tell you about 1t, anyway. You can then judge for yourself as to wheth- CT this was a poor county or not.
 "A friend of mine was travelling through the country as government gauger of whisky While riding along one day he saw a little boy holding long pole up in the air with gourd hung on the end of 1t. Being very curl ous, my friend examined the affair close ly, as best he could, and soon he dis covered a small pig in the gourd.
 Is that pig you have in that gourd?' he asked of the small boy.
 Pig? I should say not replied the indignant boy. That is one of Dads fattening hogs
 Well, what are you holding him up in the air like that for?' inquired the now perplexed traveller.
 Didn't you never see that aforeT asked the boy. Why, I'm holdin' i'm up there so he can eat acorns. You know corn is mighty scarce in desc parts.'" !"

Jackson Democracy.

At the annual banquet of the demo- crats of Lafayette, Ind, held on Jack son Day, William Jennings Bryan pre- scented Jacksonian democracy in plain words. He struck the keynote when he said that Jackson democracy is based upon the belief in the brother hood of man. He condemned by i'm plication at least the brotherhood of trusts that have been foisted on the country under republican rule These trusts believe the people exist to be exploited. The Dingley tariff is ex- pected to keep off foreign competition while republican legislation, state and national, leaves them free to operate at home. They are firm believers in the rule of exacting all "the traffic will bear"
 MT. Bryan appeals not only for Jack son principles, but also for Jackson courage. As Jackson met all the ques- tions that confronted his generation, so now we must have men who will face the trusts and Dingley beneti. ciaries without flinching, or compro- mise. or dicekring of any sort.
 If is idle to expect relief from pres ent expressions until the Jackson de- mocracy is restored to power, and the duty of all democrats today is to cher ish the spirit of Andrew Jackson, and after while we will in that way have again a Jackson party-one that will, in MT. Bryan's own words, take the peoples side of every question without stopping to count the cost or to meas ure the prospects of immediate sue cass"

Praise for Captain o'Brien.

q see that the Selma Times is out in very strong editorial commenting Capt. Frank P. O'Brien for saying that he would not have the office of postmaster of Birmingham if 1t were rendered him. said a newspaper reader yesterday. T was very much interested in the edi- torial as the position 1t took was unique. The editor of the Times wants more men like Captain OBrien. He asks what would white men in the south have thought several years ago of a democrat who would seek a republican appoint ment. The editor of the Times further argues that there are plenty of respect able republicans in Birmingham to fill the position. He believes that to the victor belongs the spoiis, and l don't know but that he is right The editor of the Times concludes by paying a high tribute to Captain O'Brien for his manly utterance, and says:
 "'We are opposed to democrats holding office under republicans, and we are op- posed to carpet-baggers coming in and taking them

No Revision Possible.

All the talk and apparent devotion to tariff revision among the republic ans in Congress deceives nobody. Everybody takes it for what it really is-"hot-air." Especially is this the nature of the discussion in the Sen ate, where nearly every republican is the direct representative of some pro- tected interest. Boss Aldrich speaks for all tariff beneficiaries. He is re- elected from time to time by their money spent in state that outdoes even Indiana in corruption at the polls.
 The entire Dingley scheme reeks with corruption from top to bottom, and there will be no real revision so long as the republicans are in power Whenever the people become intelli- gent enough to analyze the indirect taxation of the Dingley scheme, tho republicans will be busted, and real revision will be ushered in.
 President Roosevelt, however, de- serves credit for his efforts to obtain both tariff revision and anti-rebate leg islation. His efforts will be foiled, however. At present Congress seems complaisant, but the corporation and Dingley agents in it have no intention of permitting any inroads upon the privileged interests that they repre- sent. Popular government is largely a lost art in Congress. It is now legis- lation by the trusts and Dingleyites for that precious combination. Their agents in Congress may bend and con form to the will of the President at one point or another, but in the end the Aldriches and Dalzells in Congress intend to see that the Dingley benef- ciaries and trusts are fully protected in their great privilege of robbing the many to their hearts content. They are at present engaged in recoupins from the many their campaign sub- scriptions.

ROCKEFELLER TELLS HOW
 TO LIVE A SIMPLE LIFE

New York would soon surpass London.
 ''Yes, I think so. too.' said MT Rocke- feller, "but yet I am very sorry to see this tendency of crowding into the cities; very sorry. It is not like fifty years ago, when I was a boy. It seems 10 me that as the cities grow larger the coun- try in general becomes weaker. fhe strength of the country Is in the farms and the farmers. I prefer the farm and live in the country a great deal. You know I myself am a farmer''
 A young German present thanked Mir. Rockefeller for having given him some good advice three years ago about care in thoroughly chewing his food. the young man remarking that he had done so and cured his dyspepsia thereby.
 T am glad you took my advice" said Mir. Rockefeller, flor your looks show that you have benefited by it. Look at me! I weigh 200 pounds and am today in the best of health. Do you always believe what you see in the newspapers?'
 We certainly don't" came from about six young men at once.
 Well, believe in the papers," re- piled MT. Rockefeller. Give them lib- erty and freedom of speech. I believe in liberty. The readers of the papers are intelligent, and they soon sift truth from untruth"

thing, and ny it the relative cost of living can be determined. It cannot be determined in any other way.
 The general cost of living has been advanced in all parts of the country through the sly operation of indirect taxation under the Dingley tariff. There is no reason, however, why the cost of living should advance more rapidly nere than in Atlanta or Memphis, where equally large numbers nearly must be sheltered and fed.
 In the matter of rents Birmingham is still suffering from a famine in houses which became very acute five or six years ago, and which has never been fully relieved, although we built 1892 houses in 1901, and 2615 houses in 1902, and 2084 houses in 1903, and 3421 houses in 1904. The total number of houses erected in Greater Birming- ham in the four years was 9512, and yet today rents are high, showing no signs of abatement. While rents re- main at present figures the cost of living must remain high, but there is no reason why other items of expendi- ture should outrup the figures of either Atlanta or Memphis.

Archives and History.

The Mobile Register calls attention to the fact that "the Alabama plan" for preserving documents and material relating to the history of state, is becoming famous, with every prospect of being initiated in other states. Mis- sissippi has already adopted the Ala bama plan. and the American Histori- cal association at its recent meeting in Chicago cordially endorsed and cont mended 1t.
 The man and the occasion met when Thomas M. Owen was made state archivist. The appropriations of tho state for the work in hand have been meagre. but MT. Owens industry and skill and capacity were freely expend- ed. and the result is a collection of papers and other historical material that are almost invaluable, especially those relating to the states part in the Confederacy.
 The Alabama plan Is simplicity itself. The state simply places it's pub lie or official papers and materials in the hands of the board of trustees, and of A state archivist, the latter to draw A salary, so that his entire time and services could be secured. Under this plan not only have the valuable his- torical papers of the state been gath cred together, but they have been in dexed, filed and so placed that any student can find any one of them. All are preserved, and all are available. Every paper Is ready at hand, and the bare fact that everything of value is cared for and properly placed induces all who have valuable material to put it in Mir. Owens care. Much of the progress says the Mobile Regis ter, lis due to the peculiar talent and industry of the director, whose enthu- siasm for his work is undobunded, and whose influence in carrying it onward has had its effect despite the fact that the means at hand have been made quate."

The National Guard.

q am desrous that as many officers of the National Guard as possible shall attend the smoker of the Rifles Thursday night" said Capt. Lucien C. Brown yes terday. We are going to discuss the mass meeting to be held at one of the theatres for the purpose of placing the National Guard in the correct light be- fore the public of Birmingham.
 ''The Volunteers and the Rifles have both started a movement to have fre- quent social features, and I believe that it is one of the best things which could be done for the good of the ser vice. Privates and on-eommissioned of ficers will attend the weekly drills and monthly musters better take more in- terest in military and show all round fm- provement if there is a social session four or five times year.

To Help the Farmers.

T believe that the plan of the Vir- ginia-Carolina Chemical company to ex- tend notes of their creditors so that they can hold their cotton will aid the farm CT and cotton planter considerably said a man closely associated with the eot- ton-raisng business.
 T know that largo number of farm CTS in the south are endeavlring ta hold their cotton for better pri ,es. and there Is a feeling that the prices will improve in a short time. say thirty days. It is true that a large petcent of the cot ton was sold before the slump in prices, but the part that Is still being held hy the farmer represents - a great extent his profits, and therefore 1t is essential that he get a good price for this small CT percentage so as to be ahead.'

Ex-cAsINET HEARS MORGAN.

Washington Correspondent New York
 American.
 There was the unusual scene on the Senate floor today of Senator Morgan seated in his chair, his flaming red ban danna handkerchief ever and anon go- ing from his desk drawer to his mouth, his legs crossed, easily reading a long speech. It was on the statehood bill. For while he stood on his feet, but he grew weary toward the middle of his nasterly document and seating himself proceeded with his delivery. His address had been carefully typewritten and re- vised and for once the official stenog- raphers did not have to take down his words.
 The Senator's voice was firm, resonant and reaching for half an hour. But to- ward the end his words became almost urintelligible. At one period of his ad- dress Senators Knox, Alger. Elkins, Proc tor and Teller were in a group talking softly to one another. Probably it was the first time in history when five ex- cabinet officers got together as sena- tors.

Tare Up the Bill.

q am a 1ool1er-on in Venice just now" said Col. William Youngblood yes- terday, when asked about the present doings among republicans in Alabama. T am just a plain looker-on and am en- toying the situation immensely. Of course I am interested in the result of the race for postmaster, but as to preference I have nothing to say.
 By the way" said Colonel Young blood, dropping into a reminiscent mood, .the funniest incident I ever saw in re- publican politics occurred in Montgom- cry in 1874. Charles Sumner had just introduced the civil rights bill in the United States Senate which conferred many rights upon the negroes. It set the country wild, and, by the way resulted in the election of Houston as Governor of Alabama.
 Meetings were being held all over the country, and the negroes were much stirred up A convention of republicans was called at Montgomery, and negro delegates were selected. A smart negro hv the name of Holland was a delegate, but as his crowd was in bad odor at  credentials committee had just reported against Holland and he demanded to see the report, thinking the clerk was not acting fairly
 "As Holland began speaking he tore the report into shreds.
 He has torn up the civil rights bill yelled a man in the back of the hall, and the outraged negroes made dash for Holland. A mobbing was narrowly averted. Holland saved himself by gath erlng up the bits of paper and telling the negroes that he would send them to Washington and have new bill made. The negroes were too ignorant to under stand that the torn paper was merely report. and they finally became pacihed. Hollands quick wit saved his life as the negroes were desperate"

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Wagner Music.

Every music lover and every amuse- ment goer here will be eager to attend the performances of Wagner's great works-srannhauser' on January 19 and Parsifaf in April" remarked a we'll known pianist. "of the two works eTann- hauser' will prove much the more popu- lar. There are few operas indeed that are so beautiful musically considered, as fannhauser,' and the scenic effects are also brilliant. The music is not ultra Wagnerian. It is full of melodic gems.
 Parsifaf reveals the continuation of Wagner's art, and while the drama will be enjoyed by all cultured people and the music by all cultivated musical peo- ple as whole it will be over the heads of many. Still all society must be in evidence when the time comes"

Cost of Livinq.

Is the cost of living here higher than 1t is in Atlanta on our right or Mem phis on our left? An actual compara- tive test will determine the question, and nothing else will. Take certain make of clothing, certain brand of flour, certain grade of coffee, cer- tain cut of meats, and see, not what the wholesale market quotations are, but what the retail prices are in the three cities. See what eggs on given day retail for. and so on to the end of the chapter.
 Atlanta has an advantage in lower scale of rents. But taxes are lower in Birmingham. Memphis has an open river, and heavy groceries may be cheaper in that town.
 But speculation over prices is idle. An actual comparative test is the

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 A girl is very brave to trust a man she Is afraid to trust
 A man has plenty of friends when he doesn't need them.
 Generally when a woman has a mind of her own it is very cantanlserous one.
 woman never really can hate another who hasn't as good clothes as she has.
 When a woman acts as if she weren't jealous it is a sign that everybody knows she is trying to fool them.
 woman does lot of thinking trying to figure out whether the baby is going to be a great man or a good man.
 A woman's idea of superb finance is not to lose the nickel that she saves from her shopping for her car fare home.
 A man has very little use for profanity at home when his wife never stops to th.rk whether she wants suffrage or net

THE TWO SHIPS.

By Bret Harte. As I stand by the cross on the lone moun-
 tains crest, Looking over the ultimate sea; In the gloom of the mountain a ship lies
 at rest. And one sails away from the lea; One spreads it's white wings on a far
 reaching track, With pennant and sheet flowing free: One hides in the shadow with sails laid
 aback- The ship that is waiting for mel But lo in the distance the clouds break
 away,
 The Gates glowing portals I see: And have from the outgoing ship in the
 bay
 The song of the sailors in glee. Sc I think of the luminous footprints
 that bore The comfort OCT dark Galilee. And I wait for the signal to go to the
 shore,
 To the ship that is waiting for me.

From the New York Evening Journal. M ENERAL CRONJE, hero of the N Boer war and 200 young men of
 John D. Rockefeller, Jr.'s Bible class, today are trying to live the simple life (without the aid of $500, 900, ,OO0) pointed out to them by John D. Rocke- feller, Sr., at tea given by the richest man and his wife, at the clubhouse, No. Il West Forty ninth street.
 MT. and Mrs Rockefeller were assist ed by their daughter. Mrs. E. Parmalee. The rooms were crowded, and as many of the guests were unable to find seats Mir. Rockefeller stood and passed re- treatments, insisting that some one else take his chair.
 It was between sips of tea that MT. Rockefeller told of the simple life.
 Now as to the question of health," he said, 'let me advise you young men to chew your food carefully and thoroughly, and above all don't drink ice water never drink anything with my meals, but between meals I drink lot of good pure water, and also considerable milk. I take great pains in chewing my food. If were in a hurry to catch a train and was hungry and wanted to eat beef steak I would take the beefsteak with me and take time in chewing it on my journey Follow this yourself, and then avoid ice water and you will be all right. I am so glad to see this young man in such fine health, and that I was in- strumental in giving advice that helped a German. Just think what it means to teach the Germans anythingl
 ''Yes I believe in cold baths," said MT. Rockefeller, land I remember that some years ago a good friend of mine down dulged in them. and said they could only result in harm. In recent years, how ever, I have modified my cold baths somewhat by taking a towel, immers- ing 1t in cold water containing a little salt, and throwing it over my back. believe salt and cold water used in this way is great thing.
 When he was presented to General Cronje MT. Rockefeller talked to him a few minutes through his interpreter Captain Hinton.
 Dear me-, said Mir. Rockefeller, as he shook hands with with the General. ''So you are General Cronje? How alike We are all over the world. I thought when first saw you that you were one of us here I never dreamed that you were from far off South Africa. What do you think of this country, General?
 General Croje replied that he was overwhelmed by its vastness and was especially pleased with New York City.
 -''Yes," said MT. Rockefeller; lever am impressed by New York City. might say that I am a resident of this city. Of course, go in and out all tho time, but it seems to me that every time come back to it. it is grown larger. II will not be long before our city will be as large as London"
 Ceneral Cronje replied that he thought
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-01-12
as the following table:

The government 2s are now worth about 1o5; the 3s, about 105A; the As of 1907, about 106, and the As of 1925 are worth 131K. It is indeed doubtful whether the bonds of any other coun- try in the world yield less than per cent.
 The credit of the United States is high, but it is not credit alone that makes market for government bonds. Those bonds are needed as a basis for national bank circulation, and desire to increase the bank circulation pushes them up the market, and as a rule firmly holds them up. A similar arti- ficial demand for government bonds does not exist in other countries, or in Alabama, and so it is not possible to compare with exactness the market value oA our bonds and government bonds. The relative value of the lat ter is higher, but it is not so much higher as the table in this article in- dicates. because the bonds issued by the United States are in demand both as security for government deposits and for national bank circulation.

JOY FOR BIRMINGHAM.

From the Gadsden Journal.
 The President has accepted an invi- tation to visit Birmingham, while sim liar one from Atlanta was declined. That should cause joy in many a Birming- hammers heart.
