Lifting the Quarantine.

The quarantine against Minnehett and Minnehett's mosquitoes has been lifted to the great relief of the entire interior of this state. The communica- tion between the capital and the chief city of the state is frequent and need- of two millions of people, and the rais- ing of the quarantine will bring at once to the situation material relief.
 Before this incident is dismissed and forgotten, Q word about Montgomery's courage and downright honesty should be recorded. Not every city would have frankly admitted the presence of wayfarer full of fever as Montgomery did. Many towns would have con cealed such case, taking of course every precaution against spreading of the infection. Our capital city, how ever, pfeIerfeu 10 deal without reserve with the people of Alabama, and it stands to it's credit that it did so. It's pledges as to the future will be con sidered trustworthy and the city is placed on high plane by it's sincerity and frankness in the Minnehett case
 Let Us hope no other case of the yellow scourge will stumble or lie through quarantine regulations to in- flict Montgomery with another Minne- hett. Let us hope the utter honesty of Montgomery will be rewarded in that way as well as by the respect and gratitude of the people it dealt with in an open and ingenious manner

New Crop and New Prices.

William P. Brown of New Orleans is now in New York, where he will out stay the fever trouble. He will not be a picturesque figure again perhaps in the cotton market, but he insists that cotton is cheap at the prices of today. He bases his belief upon the fact that the consumption of the present cotton year will be just about twelve million bales. and the consumption of the coming year will be fully as large, willie the new crop is estimated at but eleven million bales. The government aLd individual observers alike put the growing opening crop at just about eleven million bales, or just about one million bales below the needs of the world If these figures of production prove true, the farmer will indeed be master of the situation. The season for improvement in the crop is rapidly slipping by, and it stands today too spotted to be a large crop.
 The prosperity of the south seems as- sured. for an eleven-million-bale crop that will command from ten to twelve cents is perhaps the best form that the crop can take for the good of the south. A fair price steadily maintained is what the south needs, and this is probably what is in store for this sec tion in the new and near-at-hand crop year.

Atlanta and Montgomery.

''Whatever may be said of the short eomings of Atlanta and Atlanta people, they have given q good demonstration of their breadth of view and at the same time presented striking contrast to Montgomery" said a prominent citizen yesterday.
 "Of course Atlanta has always shown friendly rivalry with Birmingham, but such rivalry is helpful to both cities. Atlanta people are proud of the substan- tial growth of their city, but at the same time they do not fail 10 see that Blrmingham's advance has been wonder ful. They do not attempt to take all the honors of this section to themselves, as a recent editorial in a paper of that place pointed out. Citizens of both At lanta and Birmingham realize that these cities have achieved great-national rep utation and are destined to become the foremost cities of the south.
 Montgomery on the other hand, shows a petty jealousy against Birmingham, as her recent uncalled-for acts plainly dem- onstrate. Montgomery's attempt to show spite in connection with everything that pertains to Birmingham on account of certain quarantine restrictions was de- cldedly on the baby order.'

National Prosperity Assured.

Wall street and the rest of the coun- try is simply responding to big crops. Big crops mean prosperity in the coun- try for a year to come Even pig iron moves up or stays up when big crops are assured Crops and prosperity are a team that goes readily and natur- ally in double harness.
 The government reports call for total wheat crop of seven hundred and ten million bushels-a crop but once exceeded in the history of the country. In 1901, the record year, the crop went to seven hundred and forty-eight and half million bushels. and that was the only crop that exceeded the one now in the last stages of the harvest.
 The corn crop is not beyond frost, but it is well advanced, and the out look Is in favor of a crop of twenty seven hundred million bushels, or more tLan the record yield of 1899, which was more than one hundred million bushels short of the outlook for the growing crop.
 Rye, oats and barley all promise well. All crops are extremely prom ising, cotton alone excepted, and what the f1eecy staple lacks in quantity will no doubt be made good in price.
 Merchants and manufacturers, all in fact, will share in the prosperity of the agricultural interests of the country. The railroads will oe burdened with business, and prosperity is booked to stay another year. Prices as a rule vii. be satisfactory, although the food crops are abundant. This will be due to shortages in other countries. The net return from the farms will be the heaviest in the history of the country, Prepare then for year of high general prosperity.

TEXTURES" IN LIBRARIES.

From the New York Sun.
 Among frequenters of the public libra ries are certain ''f1xtures"-men who visit the institution to remain most, if not all day. They spend their time reading along chosen lines, sometimes taking notes, often falling asleep, and never by any chance applying their researches to any practical use. Usually the man is we'll past middle age.
 Investigation will disclose many curious hobbies amounting to manias of these library lovers. One Hast leaf has spent thirty years going through encyclopedias and similar gigantic compilations. His keenest delight is to discover errors of date or misstatements. These he never fails to correct. Another aged individual reads all, the matter he can lay hands on referring to flying machines and aero- statics in general. In ten years he must have digested collectively thousand vol umes, pamphlets, etc, yet he sits there day after day wrapped in his imaginary improvements and inventions.
 Still third races through volumes of religious character, growing unduly ex- cited over tenet or exposition which happens to please or provoke him. Many of the old bookworms are veterans or pensioners of some sort.

Should Stop Speeding.

'T believe that Birmingham autoists are not as careful about speeding on the principal streets as they should be, said visitor last night.
 'I noticed today number of automo- piles actually speeding through crowded streets, aEd think it is remarkable that so few accidents have occurred here. There is a law fixing the speed limit of automobiles at eight miles an lated even within the city limits.
 T was surprised to see today that sev- eral automobiles returning from the ball game were driven at top-notch speed. A continuous string of cars, many buggies, wagons and pedestrians keep First ave- nue well crowded for half-hour or more after the ball game. Automobile owners seem to overlook the fact how ever and dart up the avenue cross the tracks between cars, dodge a wagon here and a buggy there. and endanger the lives of pedestrians. The police force should become particularly active and see that this practice is stopped Suf- ficient laws have been passed restrict ing the speed of vehicles, but they do not seem to be enforced.
 T like disregard for the law is shown by many drivers of fast horses and the guilty persons could easily be caught. The custom of speeding either buggles or automobiles is a plain violation of the law and should be stopped at once.''

DEATH's-HEAD AT THE WEDDING

From the New York Herald.
 A strange remedy for the divorce evil is suggested by T. J. Kennedy in the col umn of letters from Herald readers this morning.
 He would have the priest or minister who celebrates a marriage require each of the parties to sign a contract that he or she will never sue for divorce.
 To be sure. nobody can thus deprive himself of his statuatory rights but this difficulty our correspondent would get round" by having all the states pass laws legalizing such contracts
 Whether this might not be almost as difficult a task as to induce them all to enact uniform divorce laws Is an interest ing question. But suppose It could be done. Where are we to get race of priests and ministers with the brazen nerve to break in upon a happy bride groom and blushing bride with contract about divorce?

Peace Alone is Possible.

Let no one be deceived by the situ- ation at Portsmouth. Russia has fought on land and sea, and she has encountered defeat in every instance. The key to the situation, Manchuria, has practically been taken from her. She knows she is conquered, and she knows, too, that her army is full of dis affection. She knows, too, that dis content is rising at home-that she can borrow no more money for war purposes Japan's envoys knows all these things, and all these things point to but one outcome at Portsmouth Russia must accept the best terms she can secure from Japan.
 Japan has incorporated no doubt in her twelve demands some things she intends to yield, and Russia will blus- ter to the utmost, hoping to secure bet ter terms. But she stands alone at Portsmouth, and she will continue to stand alone. The scenes of April, 1895, cannot be duplicated, cannot even be threatened. Tn April, 1895, Japan and China had signed a reasonable treaty of peace when the Russian Franco German combine was formed, and Japan was forced to forego the fruits of her victory in order to let Russia assume the aggressive in Manchuria. Russia must now pay the double bill. She must settle, and she can call no country to her aid.
 The country that seized Sakhalin says she cannot give it back to Japan She will change her mind. So too g.; to an indemnity. Russia took $133,000, 900 from China. and she started in to secure 1,400,OO0,0O0 roubles from Fur key in 1878. But she finally accepted 300,O00.0 .000 roubles and big slice oi territory. She will discover that she can pay as we'll as accept an indem nity. The principle is the same either way, and Russia will find way tc live up to the principle
