IN THE HOME STRETCH
DR, SANDERS IS PLEASED WITH
 QUARANTINE SITUATION.
State Health OMleer Believes Alabama VIII Be Kept Free of Yellow Fever-No Fever at
 Afua0Ra.

we are in the home stretch now" said pr. w. H. Sanders. State Health Oficer, yesterday, "and do not believe we will have a case of yellow fever In Alabama this season. I am pleased with the situation"
 Having just returned from trip of inspection through Southern Alabama, Dr. Sanders has the latest information from the operation of sAlabama's guar antine on the Florida border, and in conseqeuence he speaks with authority on the subject.
 Tn reference to the eases of deneue fever at Atmore, Dr, Sanders said that there was absolutely no occasion for alarm over that sickness.
 "I went to Atm0re about e week ago, said Dr. Sanders, and found few cases of dengue fever there. It was and has been confined to two families and was traceable to Whistler, where 1 diagnosed several cases of dengue fever on my visit there some time ago.
 There being some excitement at At- more over the reported guRptct0ug cases, Dr. Francis, c Marine Hospital Surgeon. went there today from Mo- bile. I am advised officially that Dr. Francis diagnosed the sickness as dengue fever and assured the people that there was no reason for alarm. think this should be published as the people are naturally uneasy and these doubts should be set at rest"
 There was little of interest yester- day in the quarantine situation. Few refugees passed through. Montgomery. but there was no relaxation in the work of the inspectors.

 Of course when you speak of pyrites you can only have reference 10 the products of this section of Talladega and Clay counties. for it only is found here.
 Recently. MT. Robert R. Zell. large fertilizer dealer in Baltimore, who in- vested in this line here, wrote of this new industry in the Birmingham News, He is an authority on the subject, and says:
 Along the southeast side of the Tal.. ladega mountains extends lead Of buted through a mass of blue rock, which. when mined to the proper depth. develop into a compact vein of crystalline pyrites.
 This lead of pyrites lies at an angie of about forty. degrees pitching In southerly direction. The course of the outcrop is from southwest to north east direction, The vein is from sixteen to eighteen feet thick with an average of eight feet of rich ore, be- tween from six to eight feet of lean ore. The general deposits Is in lenti- cular beds and extends to unknown depths, increasing \in value as it goes down. The Alabama Pyrites Company. Southern Pyrites and Copper Company and the Southern Sulphur Ore Com pany have opened mines.

President W. H. Seymour of the Ala bama division, Southern Cotton Asso- citation yesterday issued the foiiowin6 address:
 10 the people of Alabama:
 At a meeting of the executive com citation at AshevIne, N. C., some days ago it was found from many thousand reports from throughout the cotton ! belt that in every state the crop ls nos than expected. In fact, the reports in- dicate that if the present rate or con. sumption continue, and there Is no good tinue, there will not be sufficient Amer ican cotton to supply the demand.
 At the present rate of consumption of American cotton. The Ashe, vile report showed a prospective yield this year of about nine and one-half million bales which added to the sur 100000 bales for this years eonsumpc, tion, which would be 100000 bales less than the demand. In other should make this year io,5oo. .ooo bales. instead of 9,500,000 bales, as was shown by. the reports, there would be no more Ss c9ston mads than hs .sr equal only to the demand the. price of obtained for cotton. Shall we. be
 
 that Is insuficient to meet the demands and especially when 1t is considered that 1t has been an unusually expen- sive one to make.
 Raiment is one of the three necessi- ties of civilized life and cotton is re- garded as the raiment of the world. All reports from across the water agree other countries in competition with this country have proven failures, and the monopoly of clothing of the world belongs to the South and her people
 The other fellow must have your cotton and, he is going to have 1t. If he can get 1t by paying you an amount for 1t that will give you aand6. trifle rof of it without paying you rair, reasona- ble profit on the investment and la bor required to make 1t, he will pay that price For many years years 1t t.i,,a has been been not identified with our. country or it's interests to get together and deter mine the price of cotton and as soon as determined the wires carried the message to agents in every city, town village and hamlet in the cotton belt with the orders not to pay more than a certain price, often less than cost the members of the executive commit tee of the Southern Cotton Association. all of whom are identified wltn me best interest or our county ana rsp- @ tire cotton belt got together and de- should be. TO eounteract the mes sages that are being sent to agents not to pay more than a certain price for cotton, these people who represented you at Aslievllle now send you word not to take less than a certain price for cotton. Will you win or will you let the other fellow win:
 An incident worthy of notice as de- monstrating the power of cooperation occurred on the streets of the city of Montgomery a few days ago The price of g 7-S cents was being offered for some distressed cotton and tenants were selling at that price. The land lords. however. felt that is should bring more and informed theiI tenants that if they could not get ten cents for it, take it to the warehouse and

they the landlords, would allow them credit for that price. The result was .nat ten cents was paid by brokers the sstTeets of Montgomery. On satur- day the price dropped again to g 7-S cents, and prominent Montgomery farmers and members of the Southern Cotton Association circulated amongst the owners of the cotton as they came in advising them not to sell for less than ten cents The result was that all held, and at one time there was more cotton on Court Square than ever seen before, After holding out for ten cents for some time and falling to get 1t. several wagons started for ware houses to store their cotton, but they were halted by brokers and given ten cents for their cotton. In short time the Square was clear. every pound or
 What was done in Montgomery can be done in many other places to advan- tage, and members of the Association and all others inseTested are o9t6n urged fop oe better prices. It is suggested. where practicable, that county presidents or the Association will call meetings and holding of cotton for the pinimum price as set at Asheville. Such meet ings have already been held in num- Der of counties and have been produc-
 With the help of the merchants and the bankers, who have contributed largely to the success that has been achieved by the Association. and who every day are showing greater in- terest and confidence in its work the situation can be controlled to the best interest of the entire State. Other orr eanizations, the Farmexs' Union and the Society of Equity, both of which are very Strong, have joined hands with the Association and the victory ought to be made complete

Attendance is holding up well;
the enrolment is now 60, and
while Copiah county schools clos
ed three weeks ago, all but four
of the Copiah students are still at
tending and paying tuition. We
expect to keep the assistant till
the close of the term. We expect
to have interesting closing exer-
cises on May 18th. Often there
is a decline in interest toward
close Of term, but Mt. Zion peo-
pie are talking school as enthu-
siastically, perhaps more so, than
at the beginning of term.

MONTGOMERY School.

Ancestral oaks stand around it.
The academic and religious atmos-
phele enswathe it. Nature, at an
early geologic period, in gentle
upheaval, measured the sloping
upland for church and school, and
the Board of Trustees and patrons
and people have done the rest.
Beautiful for situation, environed
with the farms of old Confederate
soldiers and the homes of their
descendants entwined with honey
suckle and jessamine, no more
picturesque scene is found in Lin
coin county. Prof. /. E. Russell
and Miss Stella Easterling are the
teachers. Prof. Russell has serv-
ed the people 3 years, is strong,
progressive, popular and worthy,
as he receives the admiration of
all. What panied us most was
the desire of Prof. Russell to at
tend his college again and COM
plete its curriculum. To be sure,
it would seem as a master hand is
now at the plough, he should first
establish his high school.
1t isn't hurrah and dash and
blazing advertisement, and assem-
blage of prominent educators that
make scholars; it is the steady in
telIectual light held up by Prof.
Russell and his devoted, compe-
tent, careful assistant, Miss Eas-
terling. The pathway chosen by
Prof. Russell is the quiet, severe
pathway of toll. There is no 9TH
er road, all else is the veriest
travesty on learning and progress
siveness.
We spent one day there, looked
into the stern soldiers face, held
the hand of the noble pastor, Rev.
Mr.. johnson, mingled with their
noble young men, and left feeling
it was good to be there.

Thursday was not very pro-
pitious day for iced drinks or
flozen cream; but it was the
Ladies' Auxiliary day at Prices

was, therefore, abundant response;
and from IL O'Clock noon until
midnight Of that day there was
great influx Of callers at the pop
ular Price Drug Co.. store.
Secretary Poulson, of the X.
M. G. A., assisted by the ladies',
had deftly decorated the apart

Auxiliary and fragrant roses shed
their perfume and lent their rain
bow hues to the cloudy weather.
Later, when "the lights came on"
the scene partook Of the splendor
of banquet with the great crowds
about the tables and in waiting.
The generous head of the firm en-
tertained as many as possible by
distributing Jacobs choicest can
dies, while Messrs. Ray, Smith,
Hobbs and Beacham seemed to be
impelled by some unseen power
as they glided in and out serving
the multitude they we're espec-
tally rapid when nearly a hundred
college girls and teachers arrived.
Through the generous favor OF
Mr.. and Mrs. James g. Hamil-
ton, these young ladies we're en-
tertained, and their appreciation,
as we'll as that of the Ladies'
Auxiliary, was boundless.
Mr.. w. E. Price and all con.

drinks served promise to be an
irresistible attraction throughout
the long, hot months of the on
