Thanksgiving Donations.

Birmingham has 8 number of institu- tions that care for the poor and the neglected and the suffering, and many of them are dependent for their means upon a generous public. Tomorrow Is Thanksgiving day, and as this year has been a year of plenty and commercial prosperity the donations to the hospi' tals, the Orphanage, the United Chari- ties and the Mercy Home should be more liberal than usual.
 Thanksgiving day is the regular an nual donation day at St. Vincent's. This admirably constructed hospital treats a large percentage of its pa tients free. No deserving case Is ever turned away, no matter whether the person needing treatment be black or white. Since 1898 3241 charity patients have been treated in the hospital, to say nothing of large number treated outside of the institution. There has been hardly year that the charity cases received at the hospital have not outnumbered the pay patients.
 The Sisters of Charity devote their lives to afflicted humanity, and their appeal to the public for Thanksgiving remembrance will not be In vain.

 Henry VII.
Entity of China Assured.

The news from Tokio to the effect that Germany has agreed to evacuate Kiao-Chau in January may not be ac- curate in detail, but it foreshadows the final and near-at-hand outcome. The occupation by Germany of a portion of the ShantunS Peninsula was based on the occupation of the Liao-tung penin- sula by Russia When the sway of the latter in Manchuria was swept away by Japanese guns, Germany's dream of conquest in China went also. Kiao- Chau will be evacuated, and so will Wei-Hai-Wei. Both were to be held while Port arthur remained in Russian hands. There are no Russians there TOW, and there will soon be no foreign holdings on the Shantung peninsula.
 England is safeguarding China in Tibet, and if China has enough political sense to see that 1t Is to her true inter- est to uphold Japan Tn the Llao-Luhs peninsula her entity will at length stand assured, and she can proceed on her own way to organize parliamentary government adapted to her vast popu- iation. Humanity will thus gain from tne unconquerable arms of Japan great victory. It is a worlds victory, in fact, and the cotton fields will yet have reason to appreciate 1t. China, left to herself, will become happy, con- tented and prosperous, and after q while she may become as resourceful and strong as Japan, and then no coun- try will seek to cut away slices of her territory.

Consumption of Sugar.

''The annual consumption of sugar in this country is now about seventy-five pounds per capita" said a statistican. Our present requirement is approximate ly six billion pounds per year. At re- tail price of cents per pound, and a slightly lower price for the sugar used In manufacturing and other processes, it appears that our annual sugar bill is in the vicinity of $s0o,oo0,oo0
 'There is interest for consumers in the fact that sugar ought to be, and probably will be, a little cheaper this year than 1t was last year. This assertion is ventured on the basis of notably increased sugar crop. World prices, including our own, are now regulated chiefly by the supply of European beet sugar. The output of this year is estimated by Herr Licht. the German specialist in sugar statistics, as approxlmating 6,5OooOO tons. compared with 46S500O tons last year. The output of cane sugar from all sources will prob- ably a little exceed 3O00.000 tons. Beet sugar may regulate market prices, but the American preference is for cane sugar, which constitutes about 90 per cent of our total consumption
 ''The advantage accruing to American consumers by reason of lower prices is not a net gain The lower prices mean reduced incomes to the growers in Porto Rico, Hawaii and Cuba, the sources from which we draw much the larger part of our imported supply. The purchasing power of those islands will be curtailed and our sales to them may be somewhat reduced. American producers of both cane and beet sugar will also experience a reduction of their margin of profit"

this year will amount to something more than talk.
 Yet, the south has been remarkably free from serious accidents on the grid iron so far, and as a result football re- form has not been preached so loudly in this part of the country. Football among the southern colleges has not reached that refinement of cruelty" which characterizes the game as played by teams representing the larger institutions of the country. The teams are lighter and the desire to win less intense. There is rough play, of course, but 1t has not proved serious In many cases. Whether this is due to chance or better spirit prevailing among players Is for the students themselves to determine.
 Birmingham has witnessed three intercollegiate footbail games this year and will see the closing contest at West End park tomorrow. In none of these games was a player seriously h. jured, and there is no reason to believe that the contest tomorrow afternoon will prove more bloodthirsty than it's predecessors.
 Football Is sadly in need of reform. Sweeping changes In the rules for play ing will be necessary, as well as heavy penalties for their infringement and increased watchfulness on the part of officials. but If all games ended with no more fatalities than have marked the games played in Birmingham this year there would be slight clause for alarm

JOHN ". POPE IS
 KILLED BY NEGRO

Greenville, November 2S.-(Special.)- John w. Pope, a prosperous farmer of the northern part of this county was shot and perhaps fatally wounded by negro named Sam Harris last night near the depot. Harris had been working for MT. Pope and left some time ago in debt to the latter, and also owing him for pistol bought from him. When MT Pope saw him last night he asked about the pistol and also told the negro that he must pay him or be arrested. The negro told him he had sold the pistol in Bir- mingham. where he had been, to obtain money to return home. Pope searched him and found no weapon, but another negro, Will Powell. was near and 1t was noticed that he walked near Harris, and 1t is supposed that he gave Harris pistol, for in a few moments Harris broke from Mir Pope and started to run and then turned and fired at the latter. The ball entered just above the heart, passed through the lung and came out three inches lower on his back, under the shoulder He was taken to the home Of his uncle, Jacob Till, and his condition is very serious. He has a family. their home Der ing near the Lowndes county line, Both negroes escaped and so far have not been located.

STERILIZED DOG WOULD
 FILL A LONG FELT WANT

i evant and gratuitous collision last sum- mer, but this time 1t did not heal satis- factory, and all kinds of alarming con- sequences are apprehended. Such cases are continually reported in the news papers, and not d few of them lead to sequels which do not invite whimsical or fanciful comment. The interposition of a word of caution to tho lady owners or custodians of these animals admonishing them against trying to mitigate the con troversies of their parliamentary quad- rupeds when these are moved by con- troversial spirit. as they always are on every pretextl which can be twisted that way, never seems to do much good: but it Is not on that account to be withheld. It has to be repeated over and over when the occasion recurs, whether 1t bears any useful fruit or not. A dog for female use which wouldn't fight and wouldn't bite and was free from all she vices of ex- isting breeds would be boon for which the world at large ought to be truly grateful. small prospect as there is of its appearance this side of the millen- nium.
 In that season of ineffable promise there is no telling what may happen to dogs or their masters or mistresses. though a set of much improved condi- tions is expected to prevail. Pending the advent of that period we shall prob- ably have to worry along with the old style of dog but osacional refteration of the counsel to women not to try to pull him off when he has seized upon the other and invariably irritating dog is U moral and prudential obligation which 1t would be sinful to disregard

ImmjuratiOn Work.

The railroad companies and the vari- ous immigration and industrial socie- ties have done important preliminary work in the way of inducing foreign labor to settle In the Birmingham dis trict, and 1t is hoped that within the next few months practical results will be seen. While there is a scarcity of all kinds of labor aereabouts, the trouble is less with skilled than with common labor.
 Owing to the deterioration of negro labor, there is a pressing demand for foreigners at the coke ovens, furnaces and mines and on the railroads. The Italians who work for twenty-five or thirty cents day in their native coun- try can find abundant employment here at S1.25 and more. Those who are al ready located in the Birmingham dis trict are content. They give satisfac- tion and that is why operators want to see their number increase. There are now about five thousand Italians in Jefferson county, but four or five times as many are needed.
 A hundred years ago immigration from southern Europe was not desir- able In the first place there was no field for their labor in the south. In the second place, the English-speaking stock was not strong enough numeri- cally to assimilate the Europeans of the Latin race. The conditions are very different today. The rapid indus trial development in the south has made the demand for labor greater tLan the supply, and as for assimilat- ing foreign races, the Anglo-Saxon ele- ment is so largely in the majority that any white race can be quickly Ameri- canized. There are people among us in- fiuenced by the old spirit of Know Nottingham cry, Keep out the. cheap labor of Europe" but fortunately they are few compared with the broad minded typical American who well comes all immigrants willing to work
 Let the immigration association push the work in hand.

T was proclaimed with the noise of trumpets that President Eliot of liar yard would attend the Harvard-Yale football game and issue the universitys official ultimatum regarding the sport. The game was played but President Eliot did not attend. Neither was any other member of the faculty there in an offi- cial capacity No one could well blame pr. Eliot for hesitating.

 OMETHING to be classified as NN sterilized dog is mucn needed for O the use of women.

PRESIDENT JoRDAN's DENIAL.

From the Memphis News-Scimtar.
 Only the most credulous believed the report when issue to the fleet that President Harvie Jordan, Of the Southern Cotton Growers association, had become a cotton gambler, and had gone Into the market and cleaned up sS,00O 900 on the re- cent raise. The story was too absurd. No one believed that he was engaged in spe- culation.
 Nevertheless, his positive denial comes at an opportune time Evidently, it Is a production of the bear interest that seek to destroy faith in the reliability of President Jordan's estimates and sum maries. Publications of this kind are frequently sent out to act as a buffer between official reports and the market. President Jordan has enemies in and out of his organization, and these are watch ing every movement of his. They are ready to take up and magnify everything of a derogatory nature against him and 1t Is well that he has taken thought to put a quietus on this report.

 the veil of sleep; Through the thronging city hieh"ays
 comes the hollow ocean roar' And sicken for the long green surge tne
