The meeting of the Executive Com mittee of the Southern Cotton Associa- tion at Hot Springs, Arkansas, Is high ly important just at this junctnre The crop has scarcely commenced to move and it was wise idea of Mir. Vandi- yer to fix a minimum and maximum price to ask for cotton. The Associa- tion lost favor last year by its action in Asheville, N. C., fixing the price at lie and soon afterwards at New Or leans running it up to 15c. It deVel- ops that the crop considering the high est and lowest prices received averaged a fraction over lie. One of our ex- changes in discussing this matter, well says: "The sensible thing would be to demand and secure a fair price. It is a difficult matter to arrive at ter tain figure and it would be still more dificult matter to force the market to come to that figure and stay by it. When the figure set is higher than it is likely to attain under existing conditions, the fixing of the price be- comes an absurdity. The farmer has a right to fair price and by conserva- tive action the association will help him get it and the country will back up the association"

The Birmingham Age Herald of yes

The Birmingham Age Herald of yes terday in an editorial on the small vote cast In Alabama, said:
 The vote in Georgia--a state in the hands of white men-a state In which negroes rarely Vote-was 1S4.2S3 The vote in Alabama was not S4,2S3 The Montgomery Advertiser admits there are over 260.000 white men of voting age in the State. After deducting all Republicans and cranks, there is. ac- cording to The Advertiser, still left 100000 white Democrats who ought to vote Over 100000 white men in other words are dsfranchised in this state by the provisions of the constitution of 1901.
 Our first comment is why do you say The Advertiser admits there are over 26OOOO white men of voting age in Alabama" We made that positive statement and there is no question of denying or admitting about it. The last clause of the above is assertion of the widest type and is gross injustice to the Constitution of the State. Ev- cry one of the 10000 men who do not vote can qualify themselves for voting 1T they want to do so. They are dis franchisAd by their own act and can remove tho disfranchiseuNnt when they see proper.

Some of the comments on MT. Bryan are almost amusing in their bitterness. For example, The New Haven Leader says that he came home big, but he busted" and further remarks that he was promised throne. but he squatted in a mares nest" Then it asserts that MT. Bryan is the worlds leading expert in committing political suicide with his mouth" All of this will prob ably be amusing to the readers of The Leader and exasperating to MT. Bry- ans friends. but there must always be two sides to a thing
 It is downright encouraging. as well as refreshing. to read such words as those that fell from the lips of MT. Jerome in his speech at Albany, N. Y,

Everywhere in the Cotton States, and especially in the country and villages there is complaint of lack of house servants just at this time it would seem that the whole negro women and children population are picking cot ton They give up assured places for a year to get the better prevailing prices for two months or more. II costs a vast sum of money to gather the cotton crop. Suppose Montgomery receives 100000 bales this season. It is a fair estimate to fix the cost or picking such bale at $7.5o and the az gregate therefore, for picking the cot ton that Is likely to be marketed in Montgomery Is the tremendous sum of SI,6OO, 900. This is all paid out to cot ton piekers and spent here and in io- ealities tributary to Montgomery.

A good subscriber hands out this one to The Advertiser: "A father and son that I know married two sisters. They both have children; what relation are the children to each other?" Well. on the mothers side they are first cous- ins: on their fathers side they are sec ond cousins, and on their grandfathers side-say, how old is Ann? Seriously that is a question that our friends will have to lay before a mind reader to get an exact reply. but he might sub init it to Roosevelt. He will settle It. rightly or wrongly.

The Roanoke Leader this week has this paragraph:
 We notice in The Wedowee Star that a mass meeting of the Republican par ty is called for September 22d, to elect a chairman and attend to any other business necessary. Our Republican friends who participated in the Dem ocratic primary will hardly feel at lib- erty we presume, to join In the deltb- erations of the Republican party this year.
 Did any Republicans in Randolph participate in the Democratic party primary? If so. as The Leader sug- gests. they should keep out of the Re- publican primary. 4 few days ago we noted a charge in a Republican paper that members Of that party had voted in Walker county in the recent Demo- cratic primary No matter for whom they voted. under the rule fixed by the State Committee they should have been excluded. Only those who can conform to the regulations fixed by the party oruering a primary should vote in that primary.

BARONESS IS
NEARING THE
STYX
Tilted Burdett- Cults of Ro-
mantle History is Crit
ically III in London.

London, Feb. Much concern is
felt over the condition of the Baroness
Burdett- Coutts, who is seriously ill
and whose recovery is regarded as un-
likely in view of her age-ninety-one
years. The Baroness is one of the for
most English women philanthropists
and an infinite friend of the late
Queen Victoria. In recent years she
has withdrawn almost entirely from
society and from the public.
I Her wealth is estimated at many
millions. At her demise her peerage
will become extinct, and while most
of her personal belongings and saw
ings will go to her American-born hus-
band, who is 40 years her junior, and
upon whom she settled an annuity Of
$260,O00 per annum on the wedding
day, the bulk of her fortune will go to
her nephew, the only son of her elder.
sister, Mrs. Money Coutts, who died a
few years ago at the age of "a.
The most amazing episode in the life
of the Baroness Burdett- Coutts is
rarely referred to in the many ac-
counts Of her which are constantly
published. Within a short time OF her
succession to her immense fortune, an
Irish gentleman named Dunn began a
most extraordinary amatory persecu-
tion of the unfortunate heiress. Where
ever Miss Angela Coutts went, there
her Irish admirer followed her. When!
ever possible he put up at the same
hotel. He followed her to church. and
wrote her q love letter every few

became worse when the future Baron

Prediction Activity in Rus
sian Capitol is
Marked.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 2.-The pre-
election activity has reached an acute
stage, although the date of the con-
vocation of the national assembly or
even of the date for holding the elec-
tions are unknown. Candidates of
various parties are daily coming into
the open and all factions in public
life are taking an active interest in
the campaign. The only effective boy
colt OF the preparations seems to be
that which is due to the apathy of the
commercial classes and other conserv-
ative and unprogressive elements.
The most eligible members of the
social democrats, the League . of
Leagues and other extremist organiza-
tions, in spite of their fulminations
against the national assembly, are reg
istering as individuals and intend to
exercise the franchise. The main CEN
ter of political activity at present is
Moscow, where the six moderate or
ganizations, following the example of
st. Petersburg, have established a po-
litical club and are planning to pub
lish paper under the editoship of
Prince Eugene Troubetskoy.
The defections from the ranks of
the constitutional democrats are now
assuming the character of an open
split, with female suffrage and the
autonomy Of Poland as the two prin-
cipal points of difference. Among the
candidates at Moscow are Prince Ga

TODAY
Fifteen Selected to Make Re-
port at Chicago Insurance
Meeting Governor sarles of
North Dakota Present.

Chicago, Feb. 2.-Tke national con-
vention called to consider the pro-
posed reforms in the supervision of
life insurance companies turned it's
attention today to the subject of uni
form legislation. A committee of fif-
teen was appointed to decide upon a
report which was to be submitted to
the convention later in the day. In
addition to the fifteen active men,
bers of the committee, all the COVER
nors and members of the conference
and commissioners on uniform legis-
lation were designated as members of
an advisory committee. The gover-
nors present when the convention
opened today were Johnson of Mime
sofa, Elrod of South Dakota, Beck
ham Of Kentucky, Davidson of Wis.
consin, Cummins of Iowa and Sarles
of North Dakota. Prior to the retire
ment of the committee for consulta-
tion Governor Beckham addressed the
convention briefly, assuring the dele
gates of his support and that of the
legislature of Kentucky as far as he
could give it, of such measures of
protection for the policyholders as
shall be recommended by the conven-
ton. A recess was then taken by the
convention until the committee of fif-
teen declared itself ready to report.
