Potatoes yield One Hundred Bushels

the Arkansas and Walnut rivers, below
the Arkansas City mills, raised fine
crop of potatoes this year and thinks the
crop quite profitable one, though he
says the growers down in Oklahoma
have somewhat of an advantage over
Kansas growers because they can mar
xet their crop earlier. Mr.. Gilloek had
IL acres in potatoes this year, and the
yield was about 100 bushels per acre of
large tubers. His patch was in an Or

cotton for the loose" that Is. the five to ten pounds robbed out of a bale in class ing.
 Supposedly the Americaa standard of class would be in force everywhere, but light, color and rascality can very clev- erly avoid this.
 l venture that more rascality and thiev- ing has been indulged in in the cotton business than in any other legitimate business
 was engaged in the cotton buying business in Huntsville one season. A cot ton buyer from Meridian came upon the scene late in the season. The stuff was running from ordinary to "dog-tail' in blocks of from three to four hundred bales. There had been some good cot ton in the early part of the season. We could not find market for this low cot ton at anything like what it was held at. This buyer proceeded to take this un- merchantable stuff in blocks, at most any price and shipped it right out. He went to a warehouse in Huntsville and made up samples from the "loose" of good cotton in lines of 100 bales, drew against 1t on that line, ano. left Huntsville from $StO0 to $10000 ahead Bye and bye, the cotton began arriving at New Hampshire mills and a great fuss was made. The bland thief alleged that the railroad swapped the cotton on him enroute! He was very careful not to visit that sec tion of New England for a term.
 Banks have been systematically robbed by false checking against cotton re. ceipts; that Is, by checking an open ac- count for more than lie cotton actually cost. Then again. l..o reiections and un- merchantable cotton have been held over on warehouse receipts by banks often they represented too frequently only one- half of the value they were supposed to be as collateral This Is not always a fraud on the part of the buye- but it is the gradual reduction of collateral in the process of marketing. It had been used for fraudulent purposes, however. by un- scrupulous buyers.
 Now, all this is pr 'luGs to some prac- tical suggestions l wish to make in tie light of existing conditions in another article.
 Any man is justified in quitting a business when, after he has put therein his best energies, and his best Judgment backed by fair dealing, he cannot con- trol the results.

He discovered that the chance of advancement was in the operative branch, and he was given a position as conductor at his own request, serving in this capacity for five years be- fore being appointed station master. In 1891 he was made general superintendent of the road. In 1897, when MT. Baldwin came east to become president of the Long Island, he offered MT. Potter the office of general superintendent, and last March he was elected vice president and general manager. s3s sse4z
 Birmingham's freight rates from the Ohio river and western points are still much lower than Atanta's and other points in Georgia, although a recent re- duction was made.
 The rates announced by the roads for Georgia points will be effective on Feb ruary 1 and will make considerable re- duction to the merchants of that state.
 Following is a table showing the new class rates given to Georgia cities and also the Birmingham rate:

Naval Training School May Be Estab
 Iished at Manila.

Washington, January 17.-Although today's meeting of the cabinet lasted nearly two hours, little was disclosed concerning the deliberations at the session. Most of the time was taken up in the consideration of appoint ments, but no announcement about them was made.
 Secretaries Taft, Morton, Shaw and Attorney General Moody remained with the President considerable time after their colleagues left the White House. They considered with tho President the enAstment of native Fill ipinos in the United States navy. It is probable tLat training school will be established at Manila for the purpose of giving the natives preliminary train ing in seamanship.
 Already there is such a school in Manila for merchant marine shipping.

Birmingham's advantage over Atlanta in these rates are as follows;
 g 8 10 s 5 3 Over other cities it is larger.
 In other rates the advantage is pro- portionately as great, for instance:
 Flour-Birmingham, 22; Atlanta, "A.
 Grain-Birmingham 20; Atlanta, 24.
 The reductions given Atlanta recently from the west amounted to from to per cent, and the other Georgia cities re- ceived from 4 to per cent.
 A rate from the east Is expected within the next few days and railroad men are watching it with interest. That reduction Atlanta a decided advantage over Bir- mingham in eastern business.
 From the figures of the Interstate Com merce commission it appears that with an increase of about 16 per cent. in the mile age of the railroads of the country during the past decade, there was an increase in tonnage of nearly 90 per cent.--a splen- di-. illustration of the developing prosper ity of this country. During the same period the rates of transportation were cut down an average of three-fourths Of one mill per ton mile, with the result that on something over s6 300, 100000 of capital there was earned less than per cent.
 Chicago, H., January 17.-An of the railroads extending eastward from Chi cago, with the exception of the Michigan Central, have agreed to fix passenger rates absolutely by agreement. The Michigan Central has withheld its vote u1til the opinion of the general counsel regarding the legality of the agreement can be had. The agreement entered into is with respect to the joint rate sheet and is as follows:
 NO passenger fares or routes. either special or regular shell be inserted in the Chicago eastbound and southbound rate sheet, where an objection of di- rectly interested line is registered and submitted in writing to the compiler, and 1t shall be the duty of the compiler to sea that no such fares or routes are inserted without the assent or the line or lines making the objection. The line tending the objectionable fare or route shall have the right, however, to submit the ques- tion to arbitration. action being deferred until the question In dispute shall be arbi- trated and a decision rendered.

May Reconstruct the Cabinet.

Vienna January 1I-It is stated in trustworthy parliamentary circles that frequent conferences between Baron Gaulsch von Frankenthurn, the Austrian premier, and members of the various parties have resulted in the decision of the government to form a parliamentary cabinet, instead cf a beaurocratic minis try, such as has existed the last ten years. Consequently, a reconstruction of the cabinet is reported to be imminent
 IT is stated that Polish delegate will succeed von Hartel as Minister of In- struction, and that German deputy will succeed Koesel as Minister of Finance.

Cavalry Training in French Army.

General w. H. Carter in Harper's
 Weekly.
 We arrived at Saumur at night, and were called early next morning to begin day of intense interest to any one who admires horses, horsemanship and horsemastership. All of these, in per- lection, exists at Saumur, and furnish employment, conversation, and food for dreams to those gallant young men who are to lead the French cavalry and ar- tillery to the victories which they antic- ipate winning when next the call to arms rings out in France.
 The horses, which number consider ably more than a thousand, are gener- ally of high class. Many English and French thoroughbreds are annually trained at the school, and representatives of all the breeds of horses used in the French army are kept for the purpose of giving officers a familiar knowledge of the class of animals they will be called upon to inspect and train for service
 Abstemious living, regular hours and plenty of hard work characterize the daily lives of the whole body of officers and men engaged in carrying on the courses laid down at Saumur
 The school work is nearly all of a practical character, very little book in- struction being involved; this accords with the designation and purpose of the institution as a school of applica- ton. All the young lieutenants who are assigned to cavalry, upon graduation from the Cadet school at St. Cyr, go di- rectly to Saumur for further instruction before joining their regiments.

The Lobster's Advantage.

From the Four-Track News
 The lobster has been endowed by na- ture with two gifts which go far to off, set the evils attending his lot. One is the ability to fight early, often and all the time if necessary, and the other is the ability to grow a new member, an eye, leg or claw, whenever the orig inal Is lost in the fortunes of war or by reason of any domestic unpleasantness
 It is these two gifts which enables him to grow up and become a useful mem Der of society, most of his members being second hand, so to speak, by the time he is really grown.

ABOUT THE COTTON TRADE.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 l was fourteen years in the cotton bus mess At first on the commission or sell ing side; after that o1 the buying and exporting side My firm shipped the first direct cotton" from Birmingham to Eu- rope l have had to do with extensive cotton farms and have personally en- gagged in cotton culture.
 Looking back over the years I do not see any fortunes made and re- tained by those who have been en- gagged in cotton buying. Throughout Alabama the great cotton commission houses in the interior, of years ago, are no longer in existence. In many cases the business has become an adjunct of the wholesale grocery business. Then, too, the business is moving back nearer to the farms: l. e., to local stations and gin houses.
 All other businesses legitimately con ducted, hrve prospere l, some to the extent or fortunes accumulated by those en- gagged therein; not so with the cotton the ever-present gambling feature. A buyer often sells cotton before he buys sometimes he buys in a speculative ven ture of selling.
