Those Who Iustiaated This Attempt

Two men have been sentenced to

county. visiting men who were sum-
moned on the jury and urging
them to stand up for one Of the par
tics to the suit which was to be tried
The sentence of thirty days in jail is
light enough but it will be sufficient
if at has a tendency to break up this
Infamous practice. which is all too
common in North Carolina. The
trouble about the case. however is
that those who instigated this attempt
to defeat justice escaped. Nobody be
lieves that the men found guilty Of
contempt were so concerned that they
were going about the county of their
own accord trying to influence jurors.
They were doubtless hired to do this
work by somebody It's great pity
that the real offenders could not be
found and properly punished.

New Railroad Mileage.

This promises to be an active year in railroad building in Alabama. Three railroads are practically under con tract, namely, road from Bay Min site to Fort Moran, about fifty miles long; the West Alabama railroad, ex. tending from Mobile to Florence, about four hundred miles, and the At lantic and Birmingham, which will lay about two hundred miles of track in this state. These lines may not be completed in 1905, but all will be ad- vanced, and the railroad mileage in the state may be increased even as much as five hundred miles. Several short spurs of existing lines are to be built.
 Alabama is a fortunate state. It has many railroads and many noble rivers. If the West Alabama railroad be built every county, sixty-seven in number, will be connected with the great railroad system of the country. Choctaw is now the only county that is isolated and the West Alabama railroad will cross 1t.
 Scarcely anyone appreciates fully as yet the value of the Panama canal to the gulf states. Alabama will get the full benefit of that towering en' terprise. That canal will make Ala bama rich and great state in the course of the next twenty-five years It will fill the state full of factories and it will lead to the development of this district far beyond our brightest dreams.

Holders of cotto1.

'The holders of the real stuff in cotton. both farmers and merchants, are already seeing the partial results of the co-opera- ton growing out of the New Orleans con- vention,' said Percy Clark yesterday.
 Cotton on the future boards has ad- vanoed s6 per bale. Spots are really 1ac higher The advices from Liverpool to- day are that spinners are calling for real cotton from opefators who as bear blackboard gamblers have exhausted every resource to put cotton lower. This week a country merchant in Texas sold forty-two bales and on the New York Cotton exchange this was bulletined as an evidence that the southern holders were turning loose cotton; this, too, in the face of some 100000 bales yet to come into sight.
 "One of the tricks has been to arrange with the southern brokers to sell large blocks of cotton for him, under cover, on the New York and New Orleans boards If the holders sit firm few weeks cot- ton will bring Sc in the south There isn't a well conducted mill that cannot make money on cotton costing 10c at the spin dle. The south is some s25,000,OOO the gainer by the joining of her forces for fair play. There is about $40, 100000 more to be won by the policy pursued. Ala bama has something more than one tenth interest, and already she has profited $2, 5O0,0O0 thereby. Selah!
