CORN VS.. GREEN CORN.

From the New York Press.
One or the great mysteries of the great
city-and we have dozens, ranging from
police promotions to murders in the sub
urbs-is the fact that no green corn is
sold. The markets of the metropolis are
pretty we'll stocked with things edible,
though some of these things are not in
the first bush of youth but when 1t comes
to green corn the markets are not there
with the goods. At least, II there is a
market that has real green corn for sale,
l have not been able to discover it, nor
have heard of amy one who has, though
have consulted experts on the noble art
of eating. The corn sold in the markets
of this imperial burg Is known In most
parts of the country as feIu corn. 1t was
designed by nature and raised by man

be fooled to furnish the groundwork for
cornmeal. Its stalks went to fodder and

Meeting of the Press at Gadsden.

Every one of the 120 weekly papers
in this state should, for good business
reasons. be represented in the ap-
preaching meeting of the Alabama
Press association at Gadsden. These
papers have an aggregate circulation
of about 100000 They go into every
beat, almost every nook and corner,
in this state. In many cases they go
where no. other publication in the
world does go.
Such a circulation is worth a great
deal to foreign advertisers, and they
avail themselves of it, for they are
shrewd to a fault, but under the pres
ent policy of the weekly publishers
very little money is received from
foreign advertisers in return. ANY
old price, is the rule, and 1t has
proyed a very unsatisfactory one.
To make long matter short a plan
has been formulated by the committee
on foreign advertising, consisting of
w. T. Wear, Charles H. Greer and j.
Pepperman. and that plan will be laid
before the Gadsden meeting of the
association. This Is why every paper
in this state should be represented
at the meeting on July 25. No weekly
paper in this state can afford to stay
away from that meeting. Representa-
tion in some form is important, and
it Is quite enough to say to the pub
fishers of weekly papers that the call
this year for attendance Is based on
business instead of pleasure although
there will no doubt be an infusion of
the latter between business sessions.

FOUND BY BADGER.
The Strange Story of an Old Miners
Discovery In Nevada.

From the Wilmington Mail
N. II. George, Santa Fe yardmaster,
has taken a layoff of three weeks and
gone to Nevada to develop a gold-min
ing claim which he has there There is
quite a story back of his going.
Mr. George grub-staked an old miner
who had struck a streak of bad luck.
This miner finally found some excellent
surface indications in the Nevada noun
tains and staked his claim The prospects
were so good that Mr.. George, his
brother and his brother-in-law took
three adjoining claims. The old grizzled
miner worked away all winter on the
funds supplied him by Mr. George His
developments were encouraged but did
not pan out large quantities of the yell
low metal.
A short time since another old miner,
in hard luck, came past this first miner s
claim, carrying his kit of tools with him.
Mr.. Georges friend was naturally lone
some and invited the stranger to take a
claim, and after looking over the situa-
ton this stranger decided to do so. An
evening or two later the two miners sat
on ledge of rock talking when a bad
ger came into sight The miners gave
chase, and the badger ran into a hole on
the strangers claim.
They went to work with their picks
and soon dug the badger out, and in so
doing they made a remarkable discovery.
His bed, in the bottom of the hole, was
made on big chunk of the very richest
of gold ore. The gold in the stone on
which he lay was worth $4,000. In this
way they discovered a rich vein of gold
bearing quartz which runs through both
their mines, as well as those belonging
to Mr. George, his brother, and his
brother-in-law. Mr.. Georges trip to
Nevada is for the purpose of fully in
vestigating his new gold mine

The problem indicated by President

Changes in the School Law.

The educators gathered at the sum-
mer school of the University have put
in compact form the recommendations
that the friends of the public schools
will lay before the next legislature.
The soon coming of legislature is
thus prepared for, and it is fortunate
that so many good and capable citi-
Gems met in Tuscaloosa, where views
could be compared and discussed anil
steps taken to improve our educational
system, which is after all the great
hope of the state.
The conference at Tuscaloosa asks
at the outset for the full power of
local taxation by school districts. 1t
asks for graded schools, for better
school buildings, for better examina-
tion laws, for salaries based on the
certificate held. and for the promotion
of the University summer school
1t is difficult to see how the legisla-
ture can refuse the request that each
district be permitted to have as good
a school as 1t is willing to pay for.
From all parts of this state come a
demand for the power of local taxa
ton. that power to be granted as
widely and freely as Louisiana has
granted 1t, and as three-fourths of the
other states have it. No one in fact
seems to be opposed to it, but few
mossbacks may rise up to fight 1t. No
progressive, hopeful citizen will object
to the proposition
The only recommendation of the
Tuscaloosa conference that may
arouse opposition is the one to appro-
pirate 100000 yearly for the next
four years, not to build, but to repair
the wretched schoolhouses of this
state. Surely, this state is rich
enough to patch up its forlorn school
houses, and 1t scarcely seems possible
that the recommendation made at
Tuscaloosa will be voted down, for
there are districts in which local tax
alton is not equal to the task of re.
pairing school houses. The sums
named would work wonderful results
In many backward districts.

ART AND MYSTERY OF POKER.


From the New York Sun
From an ambitious, earnest young man.
just embarkng ON business life, comes
this appeal for information:
ITO the Editor of The Sun: VIII you
please tell me If it is essential for a sales-
man to know how to play poker? OPP.
New York, July o.
What is 1t to know how to, play
poker?' The land is full of misguided

To attain the degree of expertness ais

gifts that few men have and assiduous
practice is likely to be expensive To
play poker and to play at poker are
two entirely different things. To do the
first is profitable and enjoyable; to do
the second is costly and extravagant.
1t is not essential to a salesman or any
one else to know how to play poker. II
1t were, only poker players would be en-
gagged as statesmen. This is not the case
The question becomes: Is it desirable for a
salesman to acquaint himself with the
rudments of the game. its Technology
