ON HOPS
England as Well as This
Country Will Have Under
Average Crop

The Watervllle Times and Hop
Reporter, OF the 14th, says:
We still have to report waiting
market. Stocks of 1906 hops are
very small; indeed there are so few
left that there could not be much
trading II buyers were disposed to
operate. Our quotations cover the
few transactions reported. New hops
have not arrived as yet, beyond sam
pie bales, and II Is probable that the
market for these will not be estab-
lished for another week or two.
Picking in New York state has pro-
gressed rapidly under favorable
weather conditions. and before the
close of next week the bulk OF the
crop will be harvested. While there
are some complaints that early sam
pies are thin, because OF premature
picking, 1t is believed that the gem
erai quality will be good. Reports
from Oneida and Madison counties
Indicate considerably larger yield
than last year. and advices from 9TH

conclusion that the new acreage,
which is now in full bearing, will /
more than make up for any decrease

POLITICS AND LABOR.
They Seem, in San Francisco, to BE
One and Indivisible.

The Garments union is now en-
gagged in an investigation for the
purpose Of ascertaining to what ex-
ltent the recent strike was due TO an
ATTEMPT to advance the political for
tunes or ambitions of this or that
Iagitator. 1t is unnecessary to say
THAT the Chronicle does not intend to
Itake part in this investigation, en-
cept to suggest to the carmen that it
be made very thorough.
Nevertheless the incident suggests
some comment which is well worth
the attention of union labor men,
whether they give it that attention
or not. 1t is absolutely certain that
so long as laboring men attempt to
set themselves off from the rest of
the community and try through po-
litical organization to secure legisla-
tion there never will be a strike of
any consequence which not organized

therance of somebody's desire to get

unthinkable. No measure is ever
proposed in the Republican, Demo-
cratic or any other political party
which designing politicians do not
think to turn to their personal ad-
vantage. Is there anything in the
of the known labor agita-

as more honest and pure than other

report that the crop is bearing out
the prediction OF the Farmer that
the crop would fall from one-fourth
to one-third short OF last year.
The Schoharie Republican, Sep
tember 9Th, says: The present week
will see the hop crop harvested. The
weather has been favorable, and a
crop of choice hops has been gath

mould has been found in any of the
yards. The crop is of a golden coll

been made since our report of last
week, when 21 to Csc was paid.

and are not offering over 22c. Grow
ers are firm at 25c. The reports from
numerous growers as to yield shows
that the crop in Schoharle county

This is also true of the crop in the

 What has been written Is not ihtend- ed to belittle or detract from the intel Igent effort of our local health board In its successful maintenance of scien- uhcally formulated quarantine regula- uons, nor to underestimate the work ac- complished by this association, but that the fever has not fastened upon our city seriously menaced though it were, is probably neither a miracle; due to a spec ial dispensation of Providence, nor to the preventative and remedial measures exercised during the present crisis. While each has done what he could with the previous installation of a bountiful water supply and the construction of compre- hensive system of sewers, followed by the completion of a considerable area or street paving, exercised reasonable pru- dence and precsution, no longer need Mo bile tremble at the outbreak of fever ir this section, for danger from this source has passed for all time.'

COL. MURFEE GIVEN
 CARNEGIE ANNUITY
WELL KNOWN ALABAMA EDUcA- TOR IS RECOGNIZED BY THE CARNEGIE FOUNDATION FOR ADVANCEMENT OF TEACHING.

Marion, October s.-(speciaL )-The friends of Col J. T.

Fer thirty-five years his work has been in Alabama and the extent and worth of his work is known throughout the south.
 The most noteworthy work of thls en,in- ent educator is the founding and build ing of the Marion Military institute, an institution that has rapi1ly risen within tp enty years t1 q position et national rep utation Rich in years and the wisdom of experience.
