Proper Storaue of Cotton.

The cotton convention held in New Orleans last week was representative gathering that had real desire to do something to lift the producers of cot ton above the spectators in the prod uct. Many interesting speeches were made during the three days the con vention remained in session, but per haps not one of them was more sig nificant than that of President W. r. c. Harding of the First National bank of Birmingham, who took as his sub iect "The Farmer, Banker and Ware houseman."
 The chief purpose of MT. Hardings s thoughtful and helpful address was to indicate how the farmer in the south can secure for his great crop fair price. which he can not do if the for eign spinner and the home speculator are left free to bull or bear the staple ad libitum. Organization, said Mr. Harding, is the road to proper solu- tion of the problem, for organization will lead to the proper warehousing Of cotton which is highly eombustible and is easily damaged by exposure, and proper warehousing will give the farmers the credit in the home banks that they need in order to fully de- velop their great industry, and 1t will also enable them to hold their bales until fair price can be obtained for them.
 MT. Harding explained at length the advantages of warehousing in the care and marketing of the crop. Suffice 1t to say, he desires to put within the reach of every producer in the south warehouse receipt that would be good at the mills. at the railroads, or at the hanks in all parts of the country. He desires to see established chain of warehouses, and organization can bring that about.
 MT. Harding's address will be printed | in full in the proceedings of the con vention, and The Age-Herald or Satur' day morning contained complete re- nort of if Ii should be read by every cotton producer in the south, for 1t ex- plains how the south can secure chain of guaranteed warehouses, In which our great crop can be stored and handled in accordance with the best methods known to commerce. MT. Harding desires to apply approved economies to the crop from the day the seed is planted to the day the bale is opened at the mill.

Parker's drug store at Twentieth street and First avenue yesterday was trans formed into a reception room, and all day long John L. Parker stood up re- ceiving the congratulations of his many friends and acquaintances The news got out early, and 1t wreathed in happy smiles the faces of almost every one who entered the store. MT. Parkers countenance was little less than a beatitude. He was showered with felicitations from early in the morning till late at night
 Thank you, thank you very much," said MT. Parker. in responce to the con- gratulations of one of his friends Yes, the little fellow dropped In on us at g o'clock this morning. We are going to name him John L., Jr.; and we hope he will have happy time of it all his life long in spite of that handicap"

Popular Passenqer Aqent.

Among the visitors to Birmingham to- day" said a railroad man, twas Capt. George ". Ely, the popular travelling passenger agent of the Southern Pacific railroad, who came to transact some bus mess with his younger conferee, A. B. Freeman, passenger agent of tho Alabama Great Southern. He and MT. Freeman were looking after party out of Bir- mingham to the west, via New Osleans, and he took advantage of the occasion to pay visit to a number of old friends. "Captain Ely had been with the Southern Pacific twenty-five years last Decem- Der %, and with leased or controlled lines of the system for thirty-seven years. He came to Alabama from the Houston and Texas Central where he was a conductor, and made Montgomery his headquarters. He is almost at the age when his name goes on the pension list of the system, but it seems long way off before there Is reason for retiring him. He makes his territory with the young fellows and has shipped enough home-seekers toward the setting sun to settle more than one state He has made the capital city of Alabama his home all the time and has been identified always with it's best in terests"

ME. carneaie and Music.

MT. Carnegie was born in Scotland, and he was presumably born Pres byterian, but his present religious views have not been thrust on the pub lie. He may be thoroughgoing Pres byterian. but he certainly is not an eigbteenth-century Scotch Presbyte- rian. for they hated organs as they hated the ruler of Hades.
 Whatever the religious views of MT. Carnegie may at present be, he has acquired the organ habit. He does love music. and he has often written or spoken about musical culture and musical advancement. He finds de- light in the tones of the bagpipe, and every other form of music attracts him.
 This perhaps has led to his new fad which consists in the giving away of new organs costing as rule 5000 each. In a pressing case ne nanus over a $500 or even a $2000 organ, but as a rule his gift organs go to churches in small towns, and they cost but 5000. Last year he gave away over forty, and he has In the present year already given one to church in Shenandoah, Ia. When he gives a church an organ he draws no doctrinal lines, imposes no conditions of mainte- nance, and favors no particular organ maker. It is said that he asks few or no questions when an application for an organ comes from a church, espe. cially if it come from a small town. Village churches preferred. It is 3 new fad of the great philanthropist, and it is all the more singular because he shows otherwise little inclination to give money to churches.

the alternate idea has been devised to meet the long interval .between-not drinks-but legislation. although the one has been known to involve the other
 There Is no reason why the lineup for the two alternate positions should be reduced by jibes and jeers of the minimizing. There is no need of talk about dead mems shoes, and above all else, let no one consider the alternate proposition a reflection upon our pres ent Senators who have served us nobly a long time. It is nothing of the sort. It simply says as plainly as political programme can say that their services are needed in the Senate as long as they live.

Our Deleuates at AIqeclras.

The conference to consider the fu- ture of the empire of Morocco Is to meet this week at Algeciras, in Spain. and much speculation Is goiog on over the instructions that the administra- ton has given to Messrs. White and Gummere, who are to sit in the con ference as the representatives of this country.
 Our interests in Morocco are com mercial only, and our trade with the dusky people of that empire is limited. World politics will be played at the conference freely. France claims to be the Moslem power of the Mediterran- can. and Germany has hign ambitions fin that particular way in southeastern Europe. and in the valley of the En- pirates in Asia Minor. Both desire 10 become the protector of the Moslem world. But we are not concerned in any way in such a controversy.
 Nor are we interested In the ques- lions relating to the policing of the Algerian frontier or the use of troops in bringing peace and order to all parts of the empire. Nor does it concern us what degree of power France has or has not in it. We need not, in other words. side with France or support Germany's pretensions, both being out side our proper sphere of influence.
 As both France and Germany favor an open door in Morocco, it is simply impossible to see what business we have to transact at Algeciras. Senator Bacon induced the Senate to ask the President why we send delegates to Algeciras, and also what instructions were given them. The President will not reply while the conference is in session, and so we must wait to see to what extent we will become mixed up in the squabble that has arisen be- tween France and Germany over Medi- terranean questions, which concern us about as much as affairs in the moon do

 While the resolutions of the state com mittee were extended. voluminous, and not very well expressed. the purport of the same Is undoubtedly that which the people want The people really have a right to say who shall fill each public of fee. whether 1t be state office or United States senatorship. And they are going to do it in Alabama.
 A similar howl was raised several years ago when the contest was made for the selection of democratic candidates for state offices by primary rather than by the oil convention system. The people, however, wanted primary and they got it.
 The people of Alabama want to re-elect both Senator Morgan and Senator Pettus to the United States Senate; but in the event that either should retire for any reason, they want the privilege and have the right to say who shall be appointed successor. They object to any combina- tion being made with gubernatorial can didates by which any man shall be ap- pointed senator in the event of a va caney.

pr. T. Farrar Richardson. passed assis- tant surgeon in the United States public health and marine hospital service, has been named by Surgeon General Wyman as the proper man to accept the position Of chief health officer for the republic of Honduras, in Central America. \ New Orleans man who has known pr. Richard son for many years, spoke interestingly last night of the appointment of Dr. Rich ardson and the causes leading thereto He said:
 "Dr. Richardson is a native of New Or- leans and Is about S3 years of age. He is graduate of Tulane and of the Char fly hospital in New Orleans. Young Rich ardson was in charge of the work of san itation fin and about Laredo in 1896, when the yellow fever ragged in that section. Later he saw service in Cuba. and on sew oral occasions in old Mexico, but always In sanitation, in which he is looked upon as an expert. More recently he has been in charge of the port of Savannah for the marine hospital service.
 When the government took over the fight against yellow fever in New Orr leans last summer, Surgeon J. H. White was placed in charge. and he made Dr. Richardson his chief assistant in charge of the work of cleaning up the city. With In three weeks Dr. Richardson had prac- tically transformed the old and filthy Italian quarter Into a section the sanitary condition of which was well nigh perfect.
 The work of Dr. Richardson in New Orleans attracted the attention of Pro- lessor Rupert Boyce of the Liverpool School of Tropical Diseases. and when Professor Boyce visited Central America he suggested to the Honduranlan govern ment officials that some man like Dr. Richardson be made their chief health of fieer. They accepted his suggestion, and arranged for the position, which pays a salary of s75OO per annum. Then they used their influence with Surgeon General Wy man, with the result that Dr. Richard son will shortly move to Central America with his charming wife, Savannah lady"
