STATEMENT BY FISK

Grateful to the Government for its
aid following the April disaster. but
convinced that its duty toward San
Francisco has not yet ceased. the nler-
chants OF the city are voicing protest
against the methods that prohibit the
proper handling of the mails Burdened
by an unprecedented condition. the To-
cal postal officials are working day and
night and. while they have so far sue
ceeded in keeping the work up 10 date.
the increased business OF the holiday
season threatens 10 swamp the office al
any moment.
The existing condition Is entirely due
10 the failure OF Washington to con-
ceive that Il is possible that the bust
ness here Is as large as IL was before
the disaster. but such is the case Inn
medfateiy following the disaster sew
elty-dre men employed in the San
Francisco Postofflce were taken away
and distributed among the Offices on the
Alameda side Fif1y-three OF these en-
ployes have been returned since then,

ditions are far from being ideal

and he was greatly gratified. But
soon corruption crept in. Vile liquors
were supplied by the state to the
county dispensaries. and the commits
sion at Columbia was soon seen to
be corrupt partners or agents Of sellers.
Senator Tillman at once took the
position that the dispensary system
should be reformed. The policy, he
claimed, was still all right and very
desirable. He went to the people on
that issue and he was voted down at
every turn. He goes back to the SEN
ate without opposition, but his candi-
dates for governor and attorney-gen-
eral were defeated, and the new leg

he rural counties will vote in favor
of prohibition and the counties con-
tanning cities will divide between Ii
censes and dispensaries. The far
famed Tillman policy is on its last
legs.

Secretary Hester's Final figures.

Mr.. Hester shows that the cotton
crop of last year was the most valu-
able one ever grown, although it
was two million bales less than the
proceeding crop. The result was due
to the fact that the average value of
bale last year was $56.56, as against
$46.31 in the previous year. In the
year 10000 the average bale was
worth $61.6S-the highest average ever
known-but the crop of that year was
but ten million bales.
Mr.. Hester puts the crop in Ala
bama last year at 1,389,00O bales, as
against 1,470,00O bales in the previous
year. These were the two largest
crops ever grown in this state. Last
years crop in this state was worth
1861, $40 In value it was Alabama's
banner crop.
Mr.. Hester goes on to show that
the southern cotton mills consumed last
year 2,374,225 bales as against 2,349,-
ATS taken by northern mills. The
latter Simply holding their own, while
the southern mills are ggaining ground
every year. The number of mills N
the south Is now 1914, containing $780,
1872 spindles-a gain In a year of.
seventeen mills and 554,15 spindles.
The number of mills in Alabama is
set down at sixty-eight containing
S72,949 spindles and 1921 looms.
These mills consumed last year $780,
1856 bales of cotton, gain in year
of 1918 bales. North Carolina now
has 272 mills, and their takings last
year were 694, 405 bales, or nearly the
crop of that state, including Virginia,
Alabama is still No. in the list of
cotton milling states in the south, and
she will stay in fourth place a good
while. An effort should be made to
carry the states spindles to a round
million. Ten new mills would do that.

II HE writer's first experience of
(CD Pekin was during the Boxer ris-
ing of 1900. At that time the 50
miles of railway from Tientsin had been
SO far destroyed as to be useless and the
roads were debarred as dangerous SO
there was nothing for 1t but to proceed
on a Chinese junk, towed by coolies, up
the winding, dirty, shallow Pei-Ho, nun
bred and twenty miles to Tung- CHOW,
and thence over fifteen miles by road-a
weary journey against the stream OF
seven days duration.
The huge superstructure Of the Chem

many gates Of Pekin, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire, the work of the Boxers
who accidentally lighted 1t In firing other
buildings. From the top of the south wall
of the Tartar City, which divides it from
the Chinece City, very comprehensive
view of the whole of Pekin could be OBJ

could visit temples. palaces and places
from which hitherto he had been rigidly
excluded. Modern buildings had almost
all been destroyed by the Boxers. The
gaunt ruins of the South Cathedral told
of a Catholic massacre. A desolate waste
marked the site of the American Method
list mission, the very foundations being
dug up, SO furious were the destroyers.
All that remained of the Church of Eng
land mission were a few ruined walls.
Churches and also secular buildings in
other parts had been destroyed with a
loss of life the total of which will never
really be known
But what contrast a few short years

Championship Baseball.

All the other teams In the league,
New Orleans perhaps alone excepted,
have accepted and assimulated the
fact that Birmingham is to stand the
champion city throughout the season
of 1907. The New Orleans team will
not long object to the situation, for
ready acquiesence in defeat is al
ways feature Of true sport.
The more the subject is studied the
palmer 1t appears that a team not
strong in batting fought its way to the
top because of the superiority of its
pitchers and the excellence of its
team work The latter was largely
due to the skill, technical and other
WISE of Manager Vaughan, He held
his men together and caused them to
pull together from one end of the
season to the other. Team work IS
telling and effective even when
pitchers battles are fought, and when
the two are combined weakness in
batting can be overcome.
The story of the closing season in
this town illustrates anew the value
of top-line team from a box-office
point of view. never before have SO
many flocked to West End, and the
true way to increase gate receipts Is
to increase the skill of the team. The
better the team, the larger the gate
receipts.
But the time has come in Birming-
ham when the national game should
have better grounds, better stands,
better facilities of other sorts. The
attendance has outgrown West End,
and Fairview or some other accessible
point should supplant the historic Stag
pile. In all cities baseball has been
very popular this year, but this is
not bit strange In cities that nave
good teams and good Accommodations
for spectators. Stands and bleachers
should not be overcrowded, and there
should be seats enough for all. When
patrons are forced to the field, where
the danger of injury is greater than
the chance to see the plays as they are
made, the attendance will naturally
fall off after a while.

Chief Justice WeakIey.

'The friends Of Chief Justice Weakley
are pleased at the magnificent vote given
him in the state, even though he did not
get enough votes to nominate him. said
one of his supporters.
Judge Weakley was on the bench for
three or four months, and in that time
could not make the acquaintance of the
majority of the lawyers of the state. and
his great work in the short period he
occupied the bench could not be fully
realized and appreciated. He was fur
Their handicapped by the fact that under
the plan adopted by the executive commit
tee a majority of the popular votes would
not necessarily insure his nomination, and
his friends had to divide their energies
by looking after the several counties in
stead of going to the state at large. His
opponent had been endorsed by majority
of the lawyers in most of the counties
for appointment and they SEEM in the
main, to have followed their endorsement
by supporting his opponent in the prl-
mary Judge Weakley should be proud of
the vote he received, and his friends will

Next minute flames the guns; the wom-
an reels
And drops without a moan-Dixon y
dad.
