BIRMINGHAM GETS S21,918

Montgomery tOetober 2.-(Special.)-T apportionment. of the school fund of the state for the present year, that is the year beginning October 1, has been made by counties and city school districts by Superintendent Hill. The figures are less the poll taxes and the special taxes in hirty-seven counties.
 The fund this year. as certified by the auditor, and referred to frequently in these letters, is sl,15O26l. exclusive of the poll taxes and special levies This gives Sl.5: per capifa for the children of school age. 97465, of whom S2,237 are in the cities and incorporated towns which are special school districts, and 6l5,92S in the country.
 It is fact that the figures of the ap- propriations to hhe counties do not ex- actly agree with the amount given above, for the reason that some counties get special funds from the sixteenth sec ton resources. In counties where there are special school districts the amounts to the county rural schools are exclusive of the city or special district appropria- tiors.
 The total amount spent for public edu- cation in the state is about 5000 O0O which includes poll taxes, special funds and city levies.

Washington, October 2.-(Special)-To the republican campaign text book has HOW been added another-a negro cam paign book. It issued with the announce ment that it Is Supplementary to the republican book issued by Chairman Shermans congressional committee. The book is published by the interstate leagua. an organization of negroes. in the various states of the Union. Its object is to ln- duce all northern negroes to vote solidly for republican candidates for Congress, in the interest of their voteless southern brethren. s4United we stand" is the head line.
 The book gives figures showing the strength of the negroes in the northern states, bat as they are not later than 1900, they are not much value now, except as showing that a solid negro vote could probably do considerable good to the republican candidates. The appeal is made to northan negroes only, to whom the book says:
 Awake to the crisis and help save the house. Millions of souls in the south land appeal to the colored voters in the northern eastern and western states to vote for the republican candidates for the House and strengthen the arm of the President in his efforts to give the people a square deal The condition of

DUN'S REVIEW.

New York October FER. C. Dun X Co. s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Low temperatures brought out much business in seasonable lines of wearing apparel, most reports from wholesalers telling of the largest volume of trade ever transacted Shipping departments are linn tied in activity by inadequate railway fa- cilities, and this difficulty is becoming aggravated by the free movement of grain and coal as the season advances.
 Official crop reports covering condi- lions 90 October l indicated most satis- factory grain prospects but damage has since reduced the yield of cotton and caused violent rise in prices. To this fact is due some irresuarty in trade, and collections at a few southern cities, but most centers report eXpanulng bdoa- ness and confidence regarding the future,
 In the leading industries 1t is impossible to secure prompt deliveries, even con tracts for shipment during the first quar- ter of 1901 being difficult to place with the steel mills.
 Conditions in the primary markets for cotton goods show q radical change from the recent indifferent demand, and en- deavor to obtain concessions in prices. Now that the raw material has advanced beyond general expectations and there Is prospects of higher prices, there is sudden rush to provide future needs, but the producers exhibit as much ndiffer- ence as was formerly shown by purchas- CTS. Conditions in the wooden industry do not show similar broadening of inter est
 New England footwear manufacturers receive liberal spring orders from iobbers in all sections of the country Liabilities of commercial failures thus far reported for October amounted to $1,7S6.14.

China Awake.

From the Spectator.
 The Chinese court is one of the proud est in the world, honestly believing itseH to be without a rival in dignity or m resources or in kind of divine right to primacy among the nations. It is an lm- patient of threats from merchants as we once were of threats from French colo nels; and though, owing to long tradi- tion of military weakness, 1t finds evasion and trickery easier than defiance Il would if it dared, prefer to wrap itselt up in kind of deaf pride and leave the barbarians to complain as long as they pleased without result.
 It has always hitherto considered any appeal to force as vulgar and violent; but the success of the Japanese, both in inn porting western civilization and winning battles has acted in Pekin as the sol vent of those old prejudices. The states men who govern. forced by the wounded pride of their subjects, who rage at thelr submissiveness, are willing to accept re forms" but instead by reforms something very different from the meaning usually assigned to the word in Europe.
 They are seeking for more independ- enee-that is for better means of defying or punishing pressure from the barbarian world If they could but secure an army and fleet like those of Japan they would be content to leave all other fe- forms unsought.
 The Boxer movement which was a spontaneous as well as a fierce one, was not movement for more liberty or more justice, or even lighter taxation, but was an effort to compel the court to rid itself of the foreigner and his influence 1t is an army not constitution, which the governor general of Peehill is striving to found and it is by no means clear that he will not succeed in founding il. Some European observers say his new forces, 120000 strong are extremely well drilled, fairly offered, and provided with all necessary munitions.
 China has large undeveloped resources, and a mobile army, even though small is a most efficient instrument for raising taxes The court, too, has had two ex- perences which have dissipated many of its lurking fears. It used to dread Rus sia exceedingly; and 1t has seen the Rus sian armies driven back by Mongols like it's own subjects, men. indeed, whom it has been taught by tradition to regard as the interiors of Chinese. At the same time it has found that it's own ability to fly is formidable instrument of de- fence. It saw quite as clearly as the European statesmen that a march on Sin gan from the coast was d more dangerous enterprise than Europe would consent 10 undertake.
 Within a few years, therefore, the army of China may be increased to 500,000 men, and an invasion of the country will be as nearly impossible as ever since the re- treat of 1872 the invasion of Russia has been held to be by all serious soldiers With that force the court will feel safe and every grandee of foreign ambassa- dor will be reduced to a kind of glorifed disnnfant on international law.

SEVERE WEATHER STIMULATES TRADE Fears Are Felt for Runaway
 Iron Market ANOTHER ADVANCE IN PIG Copper Has Reached the Highest Price In Sixteen Years and Iron and
 Steel Show Increased
 Strength.
ANOTHER ADVANCE IN PIG

New York, October 12-Bradstreets to- morrow will say:
 Cold weather has greatly stimulated many lines of retail trade hitherto in- clned to lag, notably in this respect be- ing heavy weight clothing and footwear, and induced some recorder business with jobbers, who are still busy on regular trade.
 The early advent of snow and frost has done damage which Is evident fin re- ports of injury to fruit orchards, vine yards and the sweet potato plants at the west and rumors of frost damage to cot ton at the south. The railways are finding increased difficulty in handling the traf- fife offering and fears of future great congestion are expressed. The price situa- ton as a whole is one of great strength, October 1 prices being at a record level For the week the features in speculative circles have been the slowness of deal ngs in grain at small net changes in price, and the sharp fluctuations of cot ton due to contradictory advices as to frost damage.
 The strength of the metal markets de- serves mention. Copper has reached the highest price in sixteen years and iron and steel show increased strength. In other lines of industry activity is the rule and labor scarcity Is cause of complaint from manufacturers, farmers and lumber men. Collections show some improvement at the west and are slightly better at the south. Especial activity Is noted here in wholesale circles in cotton fabrics which tend upward on stronger raw material prices Spring trade is re- ceiVlng increased attention and good or ders are already noted.
 Another buying movement. the second within q few months, has occurred in the pig iron market, and prices have again advanced 50 cents "a ton. Most of the business calls for basic pig for de- livery in 1907, purchases of which aggre- gate about 125 eco tons At the same time good sized orders of foundry iron have been made and for spot supplies very high prices are paid. In fact. there are fears in some quarters of a runaway mar ket. Orders for structural material are of goodly proportions. Sheets and tin plates are in good demand.
 Leather is strong as a whole and the tendency in both sole and upper grades is toward higher range. Business fail Ires for the week in the United States number 192, against 136 last week and 1S3 in the like week of 1905 Canadian failures numbered 1S as against 22 last week and 3l in the corresponding week of 1905 Wheat. including flour, exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending October II, aggregated 3257,SSG bushels against 4,9l7,021 last week and 462 this week last year. For the past fifteen weeks of the fiscal year the ex- ports are 4S,102927 bushels. against 19.- Sl3,S57 in 1905 Corn exports for the week are 1202, ,93O bushels. against S46099 last

 ISSUED BY REPUBLICANS

the colored men In the south remains un- changed. the friction between the races is IS prevalent as ever. and they are sub Jeeted to the most ignominious laws that could be enacted in thls the land of the free and the home of the brave. They call upon you. who have not been the victims of political ostraeism to hearken to their appeal and aid them in their long and persistent struggle for the preventment of their constitution al rights.
 'Ghe disfranehlsement and Jim Crow laws were placed on the statute books of the southern states for the specific purpose of stamping the coored citizens with the badge of inferiority, subJecung them to humiliation and embarrassment and making them the targets of ridieule hatred and contempt for the rising gen eration of whites. This abominable con dition of affairs must be offset by the colored voters who exercise the right of suffrage. many ~ whom have heretofore affiliated with and supported candidates of the democratic party in municipal, state and national elections or remained at home on election day without giving the condition of their people in the south the serious consideration which 1t de- serves. The coICred people in the south want republicans elected to the House of Representatives and every colored voter in the north should vote to send a re publican there"

STRANGE INDIAN REMEDIES.
Virtues, That Are Ascribed to Claws
 and Horns.

From the Madras Mail.
 Great virtues are ascribed in India to the claws and horns of certain ani- mals. Tiger claws are in great de- mand with the common people. One or two claws may be worn near the loins, but should one possess a larger number the fortunate owner makes garland of them and wears them around his neck
 Deer's horn ground into fine paste is an excellent balm for pains and swell ings. A more curious one is found for the same substance: It is sometimes made into a powder which Is supposed to aid the growth of stunted women. The joints taken from the long and slender tail of the black scorpion are to keep illness at arms distance when children wear them on their waist thread.
 A red or swollen eye is cured by having it touched with the bolt or shain of door A remedy which have seen applied with considerable effect iii more than one epileptic fit is to place a bunch of keys in the palm of the sufferer 1 have heard it said that the fit passes away as readily if the keys are placed on the head. A rather quaint remedy in the case of a sprained neck is to use an iron meas ure for a pillow.
 Sore throat is cured by splitting on red hot iron-qnite the simplest and least expensive cure known to the na- tive doctor. Peacock's flesh is a good medicine for acute rheumatism.
