An Extra Session.

When the governor of Alabams/fnds an extraordinary occasion he May call an extra session. He can 1<6d such an occasion in the banana gdarantine now in use in this state. 1t was banana quarantine that brD6ght upon the gulf states the present. scourge of yellow fever. Thus far the fever has been kept out otIhis state, but all kinds of business<in this state are hampered and dEsorganized by its presence in ad- joirdng states. This constitutes an ex- traordinary occasion, and the transfer of all our interstate and international quarantine business to the marine hos pital service would amply justify the governor of this endangered state in calling the legislature together.
 There may be other matters that are urgent and extraordinary. After one such matter has been found as a basis for converting the legislature in extra session, the governor can proceed to name other subjects 1t can act upon, and the other subjects need not be of an extraordinary" nature. The "ex- traordinary" requirement. relates to the call of the session. The extraordinary business will of course come up, and then ordinary matters named by the governor may be taken up, or by a two-thirds vote of both houses, any other matter.
 If Governor Jelks desires to call an extra session, he will have no trouble in finding a subject cause of an extra ordinary nature. In big prosperous states extraordinary occasions can be found almost any day.

Next Years Primary.

Chairman Mallory of the state 4Iem- ooratic executive committee prefers a long primary campaign, and short campaign after nominatioms are made. A. the primary nominations constitute in tLis state the reh election, it does not of course npatter much how long or how shoT the ratification cam
 Mir Ms1lory urges the holding of the state primary in August, because in 4.ugdst the young men who have just bpscome of age can vote. The law pro- ffvides for registration in each county in July next. Young men could be re 5.stered in July, and In August they could vote in the all-decisive primary. Tn August, too, the cotton and corn are laid-by, and the farmer and the mer- chant have leisure in which to attend to public duties. The idler may be at some watering place in August, but his vote will lot be missed.
 Altogether MT. Mallory's plan seems to be a good one, and no doubt it will command approval in every section and county of the state. Give the young men a chance to become qualified voters, for upon them will soon fall all the responsibilities of citizenship in this state. They will become the demo crsts of the future, taking upon their now borne by their elders.

YUKONERS HOPE TO FIND
 THE ELUSIVE NORTH POLE

the ice Is the stickler. varicle proposed dition of mules. He can make the mules last 13o days or more by killing mule every few days for food for the dogs.
 "By thus supplying the dogs with mule meat each dog will have nothing to haul but supplies for the men.
 ,"The knowledge of Nansen's great success with the oil burner will be util- for bodies. The oil will be only for cook ing purposes. Yukoners often travel many weeks, sleeping under the open sky, with the thermometer 40 to 50 or more below, with only a fur robe for bed. "Varicle plans to make an experiment of a trip of several hundred miles here in the Yukon basin this winter over rough Ice with unbroken trails. If he can av- craze only ten miles a day in the polar wastes he will succeed.
 His plan is to start from Grant Land and to dash overland or over the ice 700 miles to the poie and then continue 500 more to Franz Josef Land, straight be- yond from Grant Land. and to make the journey in about 130 days or less. Ships will make connection at both ends. Ut Is the plan to try out oil experi- ments in the Yukon, with Dawson the headquarters. this winter, and to get tine expedition started next June. Eli Yer reau and many other famous Yukon mushers have volunteered to go with Varicle."

Greater Birmingham.

"A census of all growing counties and cities should be taken every five years" said a publc-spirited citizen.
 "As Birmingham has grown rapidly since the government census of 1900, 1t would be well worth the cost to have a local enumeration this fall. This work could be done at an expense of two or three thousand dollars, which the City Council or the Commercial club might bear. The board of revenue could have a census of Jefferson county outside of five thousand dollars.
 Taking the recent school census as a basis, the population of the city of Bir- mingham is about 55,0oO. If the city limits were extended along the lines of the Com mercial club measure. so as to take in East Lake, Woodlawn, Avondale, East Birmingham Kingston. North Birming- ham, Thomas, West End and Elyton. the estimated. population of Birmingham would be about 100000.
 "The population now served by the Bir- mingham postoffice by city carriers. in- cluding those of the outlying stations, is estimated at 90o0O. President Robert Jem- ison of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, told me today that the street cars served a population of 137 800. About two years ago the street car population was estimated at only 125, 600.
 'The population of Jefferson is esti- mated at something like 2o00oo."

EsPERANTo-THE NEUTRAL IAN
 GUAGE.

From the Louisville Herald
 Esperanto was devised by Dr. Zamen- hof of Beilstock, Russia,
 The language has been In existence since 1887.
 Phoenetic spelling Is a feature.
 It has 2000 root words,
 All the words common to the principal languages have been absorbed with little, If any, alterations.
 All of these words, by the use of pre- fixes and suffixes, are intended to be sufficient to express every shade of thought or action.
 The Roman alphabet is used
 The pronunciation is phonetic through out-one letter, one sound.
 The vowels are confined to i've. All consonantai sounds are eliminated.
 All singular nouns end in "o," all ad- pectives in "a," all derived adverbs in "e" and all plurals in ''j"
 The verbs are regular. There is only one conjugation.
 In pronunciation all emphasis comes on the last syllable but one.
 Many thousands of persons throughout Europe can speak and write 1t fiuently. There are many magazines devoted to 1t. It Is propagated by associations organ ized to study and extend its use.
 The Esperanto grammar has been trans lated into more than twenty languages and dialects.
 It already has considerable literature of its own.
 A big convention of persons interested in Esperanto has just been held in Bou- logne. France.

Will Have Good Races.

'I believe that we will have some good races in Birmingham during the fair this fall" said c. A. Green, a well-known jockey and owner who will ship a string of about ten runners to Birmingham. T have been looking over the track at the fair grounds and examined it pretty thoroughly, and I believe that it will be in excellent condition within two weeks.
 T have talked to half a dozen owners in Tennessee and Kentucky, and they all state that they will send strings to Bir- mingham We all race over the southern circuit, which includes Atlanta, Macon, Knoxville and several other cities.
 ''The way they are building this track here 1t can be used for running races first and then for harness races. As under stand it, the fair association intends to put on four running races each after noon and follow them with a couple of harness events. That will be the best way to mix the two classes of racing.
 'The last time I was in Birmingham was several years ago, and there were about TOGO people at the track at Smiths park. We had some pretty good racing then, but we ought to have a much better class of sport this year. The track will be better, the horses better and I hope the crowds will also be better"

Tennessee's Primary.

The democratic state committee of dered a state primary to select can diGate for united States senator. It is to be held on May 12 next, and con- yention for the nomination of candf- date for governor is to be held on May 29. Just why a primary should decide tho senatorship and convention the governorship, does not appear. What is sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander, but the political gan der of Tennessee is probably unwilling to hand over to the people all it's vested rights.
 The senatorial race in Tennessee is very warm number. It is between Senator Carmack and ex-Gov. Bob Tay- lor Both are on the stump. MT. Car mack did not really desire state pri- mary, but Governor Taylor's friends in first one county and then in another called county senatorial primaries, and the state committee was thus com pc ed to order a state primary.
 This action puts Tennessee fairly in line with the rest of the cotton belt, every cotton-growing state-every southern state for that matter-having adopted the primary system. Tennes- see has not fully come over to the direct popular plan, but she will soon do so, for no state has ever gone back to the rotten co. vention system after trying the primary plan. None ever will.
 When the south and west are fully committed to the primary system the country will soon begin to see a change in the United States senate, where a change in favor of the people and against Privilege Is greatly needed. The stronghold of Privilege is in the northwest, but even there the primary will make it's way to final and complete adoption, and the time is coming when presidential candidates will be selected by district popular vote. When that time comes this country will become a democracy in tact as well as in name, and Privilege will be unhorsed.

May Be In Race.

q see in the Hayneville Examiner that Judge A. D. caffee of Birmingham, may make the race for railroad commissioner, ; said friend of the Judge last night. "The paper in Lowndes county says:
 Judge A D. Caffee of Birmingham, has been spending the past two weeks in Hayneville and has had the oppor- tunity of meeting nearly all the citizens of Lowndes county, all of whom are his friends, Judge Caffees friends would be glad to see him become candidate for the office of railroad commissioner of Alabama. He has served one term in that capacity, and Is well qualified to fill the office satisfactorily to the people of Ala bama, and should he enter the race the people of Lowndes county and the sur rounding counties will give him a hearty support as would Jefferson county where he has resided since he left Lowndes county.
 Hon. B. B. Conner, Sit is about con oeded, will be a candidate for governor of Alabama, which will leave Jefferson coun- ty without representative on the rail- road commission, an the people of Lowndes county will take pleasure in as- sisting Jefferson county in placing one of it's citizens on the railroad commission. Judge Caffee, If candidate for railroad commissioner, will get an enthusiastic support from all sections of Alabama ''

Last Years Great Cron.

Secretary Hester's report for the last cotton year puts the crop of Alabama at 1,470,0O0 bales, as against one mil lion bales in the previous year, but the bales of last year brought but s46.31 each, whereas the bales of the previous year commanded s61.6S each. The crop grown in 1903 put in the pockets of Ala bama farmers $61, ,6S0,O00, while the big crop grown last year brought in $67,- 620,0 ,000 The gain in value was not pro- portionate to the gain in the number of bales.
 The entire commercial crop of the last cotton year is put by Secretary Hester at 1s,565,8S bales-the biggest crop ever grown in America by about two million bales The largest previ- ous crop in this state was grown in the season of 1901. when 100000 bales were ginned The crop grown in 1904 will probably long stand as the states record crop. We give below MT. He's ters table relating to recent crops in the country, as follows:

Spindles in the South.

The number of spindles in the south was handsomely increased in the last cotton year. The number added was S23. .153, bringing the total number in the south up to s,2s1,7s7. Fifteen years ago the consumption of cotton in south ern mills was but 550,000 bales last year it had risen to 2,163;505 bales. Practically speaking all the additions last year to the spindles of the United States were made in the south.
 Secretary Hester credits Alabama with s65. .422 spindles in sixty-six mills. or one less mill than the number of counties in this state. The sixty-six mills consumed last year 223.872 bales of American cotton and 956s bales of Egyptian cotton. The total Alabama

 A USE FOR MlLLiONAIRES.

From the New York World.
 Residents of the section of Orange coun- ty where Edward H. Harriman's coun- try place is situated know him not as a railroad fpagnate but as highway com missioner. There are no better roads any where. Cuts, filings and regarding have made the main country roads almost as level as a railroad Proper construction keeps the surface well drained, dry and smooth. One horse can haul more milk cans on a trot than a two-horse team could pull on a walk over the old muddy ruts.
 The storekeepers the churches and so- cial life have benefited because Mir. Har- riman was disgusted with the way the roads were managed and took. the job himself He spent the taxes more eff Actively than any of his predecessors.
 While there was no taint of philanthropy in MT. Harriman's road building the public were greatly benefited.
 Suppose that John D. Rockefeller. An drew Carnegie and other bounteous givers should devote their great abilities to the public good. MT. Rockefeller has almost a mania for organization. On his Vest chester estate he temporarily abolished the strawberry department of his garden and rebuked the gardener because he could buy strawberries cheaper than 4e could raise them.
 The same careful methods of securing strawberries at the lowest price could be effective to procure for New York milk, meat and vegetables at lower prices. The executive genius and capital which for fraction of cent a gallon brings crude oil from Kansas to Long Island City, with no middlemen's profits. could give New York a pure milk supply at half the present retail prices.

GIANT AND PYeMY.
Mordant Criticism on Wltte's Cable gram to the czar.

From the Chicago Journal.
 "We beg your majesty to forgive that we have been unable to do more"
 This Is the closing paragraph of serguis Witte's cablegram to the Czar announc- ing peace.
 There you have the European idea, the sickening servility that goes with a monarchy; the self-abnegation that is born of the alleged divine right of kings.
 The elephant bows to the toad. The giant kneels to the pygmy. The mountain begs forgiveness of the molehill.
 As between Sergius Witte and the Elm peror of the Russians there can be no comparison.
 The first is a man-virile, bristlins, blooded, brainy. He could lead an army or regenerate a nation. On a throne or in a presidents chair he could make glad a country, where he would welcome enlightenment, liberty and force progress.
 On the other hand is broken reed-a Czar that looks insignificant, acts insig- nificantly and is insignificant
 Russia as a nation was not builded by men of caliber of Nicholas. Ills pred ecessors were often tyrants and tor turers. They had the blood lust, and they ruled by fear. But they really ruled, for they were men.
 It is a pity that Sergius Witte. who debased himself before the Czar, and who must have seen the sarcastic humor of that telegram, couldn't replace Nicho- las on the throne, if there must be a throne, and lead Russia to the prestige and might that should belong to an em- nire

 Alabama is slowly creeping up to a million spindles. While Georgia in- stalls 100000 spindles each year, and the Carolinas each twice that number, we in Alabama add about 25,00O year. At this rate we will not have million spindles In the next census year. We could have million spindles at work if the prosperous county towns oIfhis state would visit Talladega anXs study it's methods.

E WAS FOND OF FER.
.m the Chicago NeMs.

From the Chicago News.
 Here is a bit of real life from a Lon don police court The prisoner, Albert Williams, was described as a raw boned young fellow of the usual coster type He was charged with disorderly conduct the policeman who had made the arrest testifying that he had found Williams quarreling with young woman. The young woman had gone away when the officer had requested her to go, where- upon, according to the testimony the prisoner had rushed after the girl and given her a kick that brought her to the ground. At this point in the trial the young woman herself came forward. She carried her basket of flowers. the con- tents of which it was her business to sell upon the streets.
 What Is the prisoner to your" asked the magistrate. Well" replied the young woman. i've keeps each other company. Els fond of me, e Is" But does he usually display his affection by kicking you?' inquired the magistrate. Yer see. sir, twas all my fault" said the young woman earnestly. Bert ain't ter blime- not little bit. F thort ought ter carry one basket of flowers. an I wouldn't t. Course. e wos right an I'm to blime.'' 'sWhy do you go with him if he acts in this way?' asked the stipendiary. The coster's sweetheart looked surprised at the question. Because I loves 'm,'' she answered simply. Don't do anything to i'm. sir; please don't
 So Williams was bound over, the magis- trate telling him he was fortunate in his sweetheart and ought to be kind to her. The sweethearts left the court together each apparently we'll pleased with the situation. But the girl carried the bas- ket of flowers.
