WAR RECORDS OF SENATORS.

Guy T. Visknlski, in the Savannah News.
 The venerable Morgan who has a lot of fight left in him yet (note the Panama canal discussions), began his army career as a private after voting as a delegate in state convention for the secession of Ala baua. year later he had been promoted to a colonecy, after which he raised the Fifty-frst Alabama. The next year he was appointed brigadier general But when the colonel of his old regiment was killed in battle, Morgan gave up his star to lead his regiment. Later in the same year he was reappointed brigadier gener- al, and in order to keep him from resign ing again for his regiments sake, he was assigned to an Alabama brigade, which included his regiment. He was 'gallantly active In the great campaign in the west" throughout the war.
 Mir Morgan's colleague, Pettus not only saw service in the Civil war He also fought as strenuously for his country in the Mexican war, as he did against 1t in the great internecine struggle. Pettus could not very well help being a soldier whenever the opportunity offered his mother was daughter of a revolutionary soldier, Capt. Anthony Winston, by name. Pettus was a lieutenant in the Mexican difficulty; in the Civil war he rose to be a brigadier general, commanding a brigade in General Stevenson's division of the Army of the Tennessee. He was through the siege of Vicksburg, and soon after he was exchanged he was promoted to a colonelcy He and Nelson can com pare notes on living on mule flesh and oth- CT siege food. The venerable senator was also in the battles of Port Gibson, Ba- ker's Creek and numerous others. He served to the end of the war. and he be- gan his efforts in behalf of the Confeder- acy by helping to raise the Twentieth Alabama.

Town Has Electric Cars.

w. H. Brooks, district manager for the Peters Shoe company of St Louis, who is a frequent visitor to Birmingham, speaking last night of the installation of an electric street car line in his home, Columbus, Miss. said:
 columbus Is pretty good little town. Unlike Birmingham. 1t has been long time coming into its own. But 1t is turn ing over in its sleep now, They have got not only street car tracks but elec- tric cars, which made their maiden run Sunday of last week. There was much excitement on the streets that day. The holder spirits clamored for a free ride, inst to see what 1t was like. but among most of the pedestrians as the cars ap- proached there was a stampede for the tall timber.
 "It was expected that there would be many runaway teams at the new sight. The horses, however merely pricked up their ears as the cars passed and let it go at that It was the people who got the fright I understand that at the next meeting of the Board of Aldermen a plan will be submitted to overcome this trou- ble. The suggestion will be to transfer the blinkers from the horses to the citi- zens. thus removing all danger of flank

THE KIND OF FIDDLER BOB IS.

From the Nashville American.
 We may add, with some risk of giving offense to the genial ex-governor and sen- atorial nominee, that he is not much of q fiddler of any kind He can play few tunes" well. enough to keep 'em going at a country dance, but the woods are full of better fiddlers than Robert AS a fid- dler he Is hardly the equal of Jim Taylor of Winchester and Jeems is no Ole Bull or Paganin though he does manage to consecutively assemble most of the notes in "Cracklin' Bread" Arkansas Tray eler," "Natchez Under the Hill' and "Old Gray Horse Came Tearing Down the Wilderness" In his earlier days Bob officiated as fiddler at few puncheon floor shindgs in the Watauga settlement but he can talk of the fiddle more elo- quently than he can play 1t. If he should object to this statement we are ready to withdraw 1t.

Spindles in Alabama.

There is not spindle in West Point, Ga. MT. Lang. who makes laprobes, has put some looms in operation there, but he buys his yarns in Alabama. This matter has been misrepresented so long the time has come to call a halt. Because the mills in Chambers county, Alabama, have their offices in West Point, is no reason why the mills those offices represent should be listed as Georgia mills, for on that plan Bos- ton and Lowell and dozen other New England towns would be entitled to credit for many northern mills. The idea is preposterous, and Alabama de- mands at the hands of the Manufactur- CTS Record and other journals justice
 The four mills in Chambers county contain 109,OOO spindles, thus giving Alabama S77,276 spindles instead of 767 ,276 as the Record says. Additions to old mills not embraced in the Rec ords list carry the total to just about 9u0,000 spindles, and if Alabama had the spunk and grit of North Carolina the number would be made a round million in a years time.

fed in the making of decision to re- turn to the practice of his profession. He will have served six years in Con- gross, and the public has no right to ask him to give to it more than that length of time. Men are not drafted into the army in years of war for even so long a period.
 The Fourth district has ample time in which to select a new man, and it has ample timber to select from. It will be fortunate indeed if it finds q man as diligent as skillful and as capa- be as Mir Bowie He was untiring in his devotion to his district. He fairly covered it with free delivery routes, and he let no opportunity go by to serve the people he represented, and not for minute in the course of his service did he have the advantage of a Congress or an administration of his way of thinking politically speaking. He was compelled to wrest from the enemy what he got for his district.

Cotton Crop.

Philip St, George Cooke, representing the New Orleans brokerage firm of Thorn & Maginnis passed through Birmingham last night, returning from trip over the eastern part of the cotton belt, for the purpose of ascertaining the condition of the growing crop and also the general situation from the manufacturers point of view. Mir. Cooke said:
 Conditions in the eastern part of the belt are very good. Cotton as a rule has good stands and fields are without excep- ton in a fine state of cultivation-clean and free from grass. While the cold weather of two weeks ago killed some cotton there was not enough damage to seriously impair stands. The consensus of opinion would seem to indicate an in- crease in average of to 8 per cent. with a large increase in the use of fertilizer per acre.
 Mills have had a most prosperous sea- son and consumption is proceeding at rate only limited by the want of labor which is very acute. about 10 to 15 per cent of the machinery being idle on this account. With the exception of some grades of coarse goods, the market is very firm and goods are in healthy de- mand. Conditions indicate continued large consumption of cotton and it is agreed by all mill people that large crop this year is necessary"

Japan Reaps Her First Rewards From
 the War.

 Special Cable to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Tokyo, May 25.-Japan is reaping the first fruits of her victory over Russia. The former magnificent city of Dalny which Japan captured after the Russians had almost entirely destroyed 1t, has been rehabilitated and today was opened to the commerce of the world as a Japanese port. The military authorities today an nounced the opening of the piers and warehouses preliminary to receipt and dis charge of commercial cargoes of the ships of all nations. This action Is the first step resulting from Premier Saonus re- cent visit 10 Manchuria to look over the territory gained by Japan in the war.
 Dalny was called the magic city be- cause it sprung full panoplied" from the stream of gold that Russia sent into Man churia to impress her wealth and power or her newly acquired subjects in the east. To make it a constant frown upon Japan no expense was spared, and in less than three years finished city, with broad avenues, substantial and imposing public buildings, with completed electric street railway and lighting system, with miles and miles of handsome store build ings and dwellings, was built, as 1t were, ito order" The place was strongly for tifed and, as intended, was Russia's east ern outpost. It is said that Russia spent s75,o00,O00 in three years to build Dalny when she decided that a modern city and strong fortress was needed to warn Japan from the mainland of Asia, as well as to tta
 This post had been planned for Port Arthur, but it's location and the fact that he harbor froze for several months each year. were against it, and the Russians turned to the site of Dalny as the more advantageous location.
 The Chinese village Talienwan, on the bay of that name, was selected and an imperial degree proclaimed July 30. 1S99 ordered the erection of buildings, the pav- ing of streets, the construction of public utilities, plants and parks designed to be the comfortable residence of 100, GOO inhabitants.
 The work was begun at once under the direction of MT. Sergius Witte, then minis- ter of finance.
 In February, 1903, the city was ready for occupancy. Houses, lots and business places were sold and Dalny began its ca- reer under the most suspicious circum- stances.
 When the northern invaders crossed the Yaulu, Japan landed forces In Manchuria and began the historic investment of Port Arthur by land and sea. The divisions that landed at Pitsewo May 6, 1904, marched southward, and a week later en- tered Dalny. The Russians had blown up the gigantic dock and fled. It is esti- mated that the damage done before evac- uation was fully s3,000,000
 Dalny never left Japanese possession. It remained a point of rendezvous and dis tribution during the war and at Ports mouth, N. H., Sergius Witte. Russian peace plenipotentary, who had directed the rise of the city, formally ceded it. with the Manchurian branch of the rail- road and the Russian lease on Port Ar thur to the orientals

INGENIOUS WOMAN.
From the kansas City Journal.

From the kansas City Journal.
 The wife of Kansas farmer, so the story goes, got tired of asking him to fix some things about the house that need fixing. and one day after he had come home from town told him she had done the work herself.
 And you know she said, "the drawer that was locked for over a month, and which you said could not be opened ex- cept by locksmith? We'll" triumphantly, T opened it."
 "Well, well! How in the world did you do it?"
 " With hairpin. And the oven door" she continued, "has been slipping around on one hinge for ever so long. just be- cause you were too lazy to fix 1t, but it's all right now.
 Well, I'm glad you had it fixed"
 Had it fixed I fixed 1t myself-with a hairpin. And then that crayon portrait of mother that stood in the corner for al- most six solid weeks because you never 1t up with a hook I made myself-out of a hairpin."
 Well, well!' was all he could say.
 And there's Willie. You've been coax ing him and bribing him for over a year, trying to break him of biting his nails, but I broke him in a week."
 With hairpin?' he inquired meekly.
 "No. she snapped. Don't be a goose, With hairbrush!"

SMALL AGAIN CONVERTED.
Revival Under Way in AtIanta-Dr.
 Torrey's Work.

From the Chattanooga Times.
 An interesting scene is depicted by an Atlanta report of the Torrey meeting Monday that fairly trembled with re- vival emotion. The Journal says:
 A moment of destiny, a moment packed with fast ripening prophecies of re- liglous sprngtide has broken at last upon the wintry silence of the Torrey-Alexander revival. The dawn of evangelical power is futtering in thousands of hearts. The songs and the prayer and the secret lasts os long nights are reaching fruition. An epoch in Atlanta religion is unfolding. It's advent is inevitable, as resistless as a decree of fate or of the seasons.
 Such at least Is the belief of Dr. R. A. Torrey and his associates. And the ser vice, one of the most remarkable events in the story of the citys religious emo- ton. pr. Torrey had chosen Judgment Day. as his subject. He expounded the awful theme in all the fervor and vivid ness of an ancient prophet warning peo- pIe of their doom The tortures of the damned, the blessedness of the saved, these two threads of thought one golden and one leTrlDly Btiu Spcu anu forth in the loom of the preachers imag- ination until at last they became like some mesmeric garment dominating each mind upon which they fell.
 The result however, was not instanta- neous. For nearly half an hour after the sermon Dr. Torrey pleaded with the peo- pie to accept religion on the terms as he stated them without being able to move n,ore than two persons from their seats At the final moment when despair seemed closing about his work, Sam w. Small, who was sitting upon the rostrum. rose. csme to the front and while his whole being shook and trembled told of his re- cc inversion.
 The effect of this was hypnotic on the eel gregation. Men, women and children came rushing to the front and in their midst stood Dr. Torrey crying in tone of warning such as once fired the lips of John the Baptist, Repent. Repent. Repentl'
 This scene was almost duplicated Tues day, according to the report of the Con- stitution:
 Dr. Torrey shed tears, something he sell dom does. on yesterday afternoon at the
