The house committee of agriculture
has stricken out the amount apprOpri-
ated this year for seed distribution and
a strong effort is being made to prevent
the house Of representatives from replac-
ing it. This appropriation last year was
S290O0O resulting 10 the distribution Of
over fifty million packages Of seed. In
addition to this first cost, these we're car
ried by the postoffice department with
out charge; and if the department of
agriculture we're required to pay postage
at the usual rates, the revenues Of the
postoffice would be increased over $780,
600. At time when the postoffice de-
partment is hampered by deficiency
each year, this burden OF carrying the
seeds free in such great quantities is of
vital importance.

A MILLION people are starving to death
in Japan, a million at the very lowest
estimate. The official reports last De-
cember stated that 100000 people we're
in restitution, but, far from getting bet
ter, conditions have become worse, and
after careful Investigations it has been
found that at least one million are re-
duced to the last extremity. The Jap
anese are coming nobly to the rescue OF
their suffering fellow countrymen, but
with all their efforts only very small
part of the suffering can be reached. The
government has projected and is carry
ing out millions of dollars worth of pub
lie works that every day give employ
ment to thousands of poor people.

 The Governor left here week ago to attend the Birmingham State Fair, where he delivered the address of well come on homecomeing Day. From Bir- mingham he made his visit to St. Louis to attend to his business affairs.
 On his arrival at the Capitol yester- day he found an accumulated pile Of correspondence. which occupied practi- cally his entire day.
 Governor Jelks will speak Saturday at the State Fair. the day being Negro Day. In the present widespread dis cussion of the race question the Gov ernors utterances are looked forward to with considerable interest. It Is generally known that the Governor. whe does not often deliver public ad dress, accepted the invitation to speak to the negroes because he believed he had something to say to them; because he believed he had message for them on their duty at this critical period of racial history in the South.
 His recent letter to A. N. Johnson the negro editor of Mobile. warning the race that they must assist in enforcing the laws which they invoke for their protection, attraced general attention throughout the country.

NEGROES AT THE FhIR.
Fine Program Has Been Arr.ng.d
 for Saturday


 The Negro Building at the State Fair contains a variegated assort- ment of exhibits designed tn show the progress made by the negroes of Alabama. It has been visited by thou sands of the best white people of the State who have sought to encour. age them by inspecting their ex- hbits. praising their general excel- lence.
 Booker T. Washington of the Tus- osgee Institute was requested sey- eral months ago by the Fair manage ment to collect exhibits i'd provide for the building. The ! ailding itself has already been described. It IS filled with exhibits from most of the important negro schools of the State. including Selma Baptist University; Talladega College; >the Montgomery Industrial Institute: the Kowaliga Normal Institute. and the Dixie In- dustrial Company of kowaliga; the Centreville Institute: the Snow Hill Normal and Industrial Institute: the Montgomery Institute; the Cottage Grove Academy at Nixburg, and the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial In- stitute.
 In addition to these school exhib- its. which are quite elaborate. a large number of individual exhibitors have taken advantage or the oppor- tpnity to show what they are capa- bIe of doing.
 The largest exhibit is that of the Tuskegee Institute, showing all de- partments of the school work, and especially the work being done under the Agricultural Department instruc- tors. The other exhibits are not in ferior and show that, in nearly eV0y case, under the care of these insti- tutions. the young negroes of the ha;~ aI, tAA ol1 tional and useful lines.
 The visitor who enters the Nefro Building will be struck with the vari- ety of exhibits, including wagon and buggy building, wood work. iron work. including engines. built by students, work in blacksinithing and wheelwrighting tailoring, millinery. sewing. dairying. with many farm products. The farming exhibit is, perhaps, as notable & display as any on the Fair grounds.

 Tt Is vengeance as much as anything else that the officers of the Federal Government desire. The unmerciful roasting that resulted from Garfield's 8 report giving the trust clean bill of health. and the subsequent giving of the judicial immunity bath as result of that report. has made the attorneys of the Department of Justice tender on the subject of the beef trust.
