We have Il from what seems a most
reliable source that Hon. c. MoreAO
Jones, Of PensacoIa, win become a en-
didate for Congress from this Con-
gressionaI district.
Mr.. Jones has won an enviable repu-
tatiOn throughout West Florida, espec-
tally In Pensacola, where his talent and
ability IN the practice of law are known
TO be of the highest order. He repre-
sented Escambia county in the Legisla-
ture in 1901, and in 50 doing he won
the esteem and confidence Of all. He
ran for mayor of Pensacola, the same
year, on the Good Government" plat
form and was elected, apparently with
out effort on his part, for he did not
make a single speech during the cam
paign. His fearless, upright discharge
Of his official duties made him consid-
cred one Of the best mayors Pensacola
ever had.
If Mr.. Jones becomes candidate for
Congressional honors, as is now more
than probable, Mr.. Lamar's reelection
may turn out TO be one of the things
sought for, but which ignominiously
fail To materialize.

CROPS FAVORABLE
 IN TUSCALOOSA
Chief Trouble This Year Is Experl- enced In Getting Laborers to
 Attend to Crops.

Tuscaloosa. June 2S.-(Special 1.-The general reports from all crops in this section are that everything is in a fa- vorable condition. The weather has been generally good. the amount of rainfall being well adapted to the needs of the cotton especially. The crop as a whole is reported to be above the average at this stage and considerably in advance of last years crop at the same time. The corn was in some need of rain, but the general showers of the past few days have put 1t in good condition. There seems to be about the same amount of acreage in cultivation previously has been the case with about an average proportion as to cotton, corn and other things.
 The labor question has probably been more difficult of solution in this vicinity than has heretofore been known. Labor CTS are commanding much higher prices in number of places. consequent on the scarcity of such hands in the country sections. Crops, however, have not suf- fered from lack of attention and the equalized rains have allowed a very neat crop to be maintained, grass and weeds being easily kept down. So far there has been no appearance of destructive in- sects to amotYht to anything; no reports of damage by boil weevil. The potato bug is possibly the only insect of the kind that has done any damage. In gen eral. the farmers are sanguine. and if the weather continues as favorable as 1t has been so far. splendid crop will be raised.

Much Surplus Labor Available.

"As to labor, there is yet much of sur plus labor in the south that can be made available under proper efforts and diff ferent policies regarding it. l believe that the scarcity that may exist among the industries of the south to be due largely to the restricted policies of organized la Dor Under the former free apprenticeship system there were new workers in all lines of industry constantly coming into efficiency to supply any deficiency or eX- tra demands but when the unions began to restrict the apprentices and employers consented to that policy they then laid the foundations for their present discom- fture and struck q deadly blow to the south. We have been growing at tre- mendous rate industrially, but have taken no steps to meet the increased labor sup ply from our own home resources. 1 have always maintained. and believe it as firm ly now as l do in my own existence. that the policy of limiting apprentices, to be little short of murder to our industries, and is really mperiling the nation
