IT IS SOMEWHAT PIT1FuL.

As The New York Times looks at it inc course and results of the war in the East furnish food for thought and for pity. The one-sidedness of the conflict, by sea or by land. which has been raging for fifteen months in the far East, is pitiful." The Times com ments, and we are constrained to agree with it. Russia is one of the oldest and most powerful nations in the Old World. For centuries 1t has been a power in European and Asiatic affairs, absolute at home and dominating abroad Arrogant, proud and overbear- ing 1t looked on itself as invincible.
 When the trouble with Japan began Russia thought the little nation was no more than an insect in its path, to be swept out of the way with little effort or loss. Rarely has any nation been more wofully deceived. From the very beginning the advantages on sea or land have been with the small and de- spised island Kingdom. Such advan- tages as the Russians have gained have been comparatively valueless. No im- portant or decisive results have fol- lowed any of their temporary victories. The march of events has been almost continuously in one direction, and that towards the ultimate triumph of Ja- pan and the humiliation of Russia. To quote from an editorial in The Times:
 At every encounter we find on the one side preparedness, foresight, pro- vision; on the other carelessness. ignor-
 IN kwKu aWaar fn fnA a of all this contrast has been exemplified in what we have just witnessed, in ''Armageddon, the last great fight of all," or what we fondly trust to be the last. All the remaining sea power of Russia lined up for this final con- dict, with ample and undisturbed op- portunity for preparation. Seven thou sand Russians, in hundred and fifty million dollars worth of ships, after months of practice, under the command of the best man available, deliberately enter upon the contest, with the reso- lution to do or die, to sell their ships and their lives as dearly as may be. do not do. score of their ships are sunk or surrendered. The remnant are left to seek a precarious shelter. And Togo reports his fleet virtually unin- Jured.
 And to this Japanese preparedness we may attribute her wonderful suc- cess. Japan knew at the beginning that she had a life and death struggle and she prepared for it, just as a pru- dent man prepares for any important undertaking. The doctrine of chance was not recognized. The Government and the people have at all times acted on the conviction that they must de- pend on their own courage. patriotism endurance and forethought, and they have neglected no precautions that hu- man intelligence could foresee a need of. The result has amply justified the wisdom of the Government and the de- votion of the people. It is remarkable, and, in a sense, 1t is pitifuL

 A distinct pride Is felt by patriotic Selmians in the city's beautiful ceme- tery. Naturally and artificially it is one of the most beautiful Gods Acre" in all the South. It has. too, the gen eral reputation of being the best kept cemetery in the South. It may well enjoy that reputation. for wita a pride in the cemetery and with an appreciation of its duty to the dead the city employs an expert German gardener to superintend and look af- ter the force of hands which Is kept constantly at work among the gray elled walks the green flowers and be- sprinkled squares.
 It Is only small. distance from the heart of the city, short walk and the shortest of drives. It is like a fine garden of verdure and flowers beau titled with shining marble The SeI- ma business man who has the local reputation of driving out to the ceme- tery wlthHvery man who comes to see him may well be excused for his pride in the city's burial ground.

First Cotton Blooms.

The first cotton bloom of the season received in The Advertiser office came yesterday from the plantation of MT. E. H. Dickson, in L'owndes County, near LoWndesboro.
 The bloom was sent MT. & Roman. Mr. Dickson is a prominent planter of Lowndes and the bloom came from red land cotton. The blooms re- ported this year are later than usual, even as the cotton crop is late. In his letter to Mir. Roman. Mir. Dickson says both cotton and corn are looking passed over Lowndes several days ago. Mr. Dickson says, but no serious damage was done.

The Maury County (Tenn.) Democrat says: ''The Montgomery Advertiser says that since the President backed down from his position on the canal purchase matter he has decided to call an early extra session of Congress. Evidently he wants that body to help him turn the blame thing loose" Since some of the leaders have rebelled against the extra session idea the Pres 3dent seems disposed to back down from that also. In place of having an extra session he is going to tour the South. A visit down here in October will be much more pleasant than wrest- ling with stand pat tariffites and cor poration Senators and Representatives

 The past two days of sunshine have been a great blessing to the farmers of Alabama" said a we'll known plant CT yesterday. They have enabled the farmers for the first time in a week or more to get into their grass ridden crops and do some effective work. In all my experience on the farm I have never seen the crops In Alabama as grassy as they are now. We have had too much rain and the fields are literal ly covered with grass. Moreover. farm labor is scarcer than I have ever known 1t before and altogether the situation just now ie gloomy one for the farmer"
 T heard of farmer the other day going to one of his tenants and say ing: John when are you going to work to get the grass out of your crop? If you don't do something you won't make enough cotton to have seed next year.
 'Marse William" the tenant answer ed, you white folks went round here and signed an agreement to produce de cotton acreage and you didn't do 1t. Now. de Lord gwinter produce de acreage fer you wid disshere grass"

 Great interest attaches to the meet ing of the Board of Trustees of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute which meets Monday in Auburn" said a State house employe yesterday. "The feature of the meeting will be the cleo tion of a successor to the late Profes- sor Otis Smith, for so many years the head of the Department of Mathematics at Auburn. I understand that there are no less than eighty applicants for this honor. Here at the capitol great interest Is taken in the filling of this vacancy in the Auburn faculty because no less than six of the trustees are State officials with headquarters at the "A great number of the applicants have called to see the trustees in the building and their mail has In recent days largely increased. The members of the board who are in the capitol are Associate Justice Jonathan Haralson, a member from the Fourth District, Asso- ciate Justice N D. Denson, a member from the Fifth District, President J. M. Carmichael of the Board of Convict Inspectors from the Third Congress slonal District, Clerk of the Supreme Court R. F. Ligon from the Second ton I. w. Hill and Governor Jelks, eX- officio member of the board"
 Here at the capitol the impression has gotten out that ultimately the fight for the place among so many qualified applicants will narrow down to Sec retary W. F. Feagin of the State Board of Examiners and Professor Crenshaw. who was for many years the first as- siStant of Professor Smith"
