The archbishop of Canterbury Is pri- me of all England and therefore cakes precedence of the archbishop of York. who is only "primate of Eng land" This very nice distinction was made several centuries ago on account of very bitter dispute arising between the two functionaries as to which should precede the other The matter was settled by comforting precedence upon the archbishop of Canterbury, the two titles being also bestowed at the same time

NO TARIFF REVISION
Chairman Payne of Ways and Means Committee Makes Final Pro-
 nouneement.

Washington, March 29.-What may be considered as the final pronounce' ment against tariff revision at the present session of congress is contain ed in a letter from Chairman Payne of the house ways and means com mittee. in reply to a communication sent him by Representative Mccall on behalf of the Massachusetts dele gation in congress.
 MT. Mccall called attention to the declaration in the Republican national platform regarding the readjustment of duties. Tn his reply, MT. Payne first calls attention to the method by which the tariff legislation must be brought about-by a concurrent view of the majority of the party in power He next points out that this concur rent view does not exist.
 The house. he says, is divided into groups of members, each group favor ing the modification of different sched- ules, while he says a majority Of the Republicans in the house do not be- lieye that there should be any change at all. He declares that the people have forgotten the disaster, politically and commercially, which followed the tariff change of 1890, and concludes with the following reasoning:
 Congress is not prepared to re- view the tariff schedules in that calm. judicial frame of mind so necessary in the preparation of a tariff act at time so near the coming congression- al elections. The Dingley bill was the most successful ever enacted.
 "While it is true that some improve ment could we'll be made in the rates under the Dingley bill, it was prob- ably as free from defect at the time of it's passage as any new law which could now be enacted.
 "We may we'll hesitate to take any chance of interrupting the business of the country by a general revision of the tariff and we should never enter upon it until we are satisfied that such a revision will accomplish results far outweighing any well-grounded appre hension of business depression and consequent evil results which would come even temporarily from such re- vision.
 q cannot, therefore, agree with your delegation that it would be best at the present session of congress to enter upon consideration of tariff with a view to it's revision and read justment. While this is my individual opinion, I have reason to believe that it is also the judgment of a decided majority of the committee on ways and means"

THE LOCAL COTTON
STEADY ADVANCE IN PRICE OF
 STAPLE CONTINUES.
Higher Level May Cause Farmers te Increase Their Acreage-Lfttle Buying Done In MOnt-
 gOmcry.

With cotton worth s4 a bale more than it was week ago and the 1910 movement" drawing attention to Mont gomery all over the South, the business people of Montgomery are feeling me.
 The steady advance of cotton con tinued yesterday, and holders were 1u- biIant, but still reluctant to sell. Lit tie cotton changed hands in MoNgom- cry. The truth is, buyers are some what chary of the quick advance of prices and believe by waiting they will able to get the staple at a lower level.
 The trade holds Theodore Price re- sponsible for the remarkable advance in cotton. although the real cause or the bulge was the. revulsion of senti- ment as to the Government report. At first the speculators hammered the mar ket on the report that the census ftg- ures were bearish. Later the report was analysed and it turned out that the crop was shorter than was shown on the face of the Government bull letin.
 The effect of the higher prices may not work to the advantage of cotton growers If it leads them to rush to increase their acreage they will find next fall that they have played los ing game, after all.
 Right now the market looks as if buying was a dangerous proposition. Any market that advances steadily 3-4 of cent is worth watching. A sud den turn. with proper manipulation by the shorts, might work havoc to the pocketbooks of small traders.

There are good many prisoners con. fined in the Houston County jail at present, among them being three for murder, two for attempt to kill, one for rape, one for highway robbery and four for minor misdemeanors.
 "Chtlo@ Murphy. In next weeks issue of The Home Journal, will announce that he is a candidate for Sheriff of Houston County. This will make three candidates in the race, the present in- cumbents-N. B. Crawford, and Thomas Butler having already announced. It is believed that there will probably be several more entries before the pri- mary. and the scramble for the ofice will in all likelihood prove one of the liveliest in years. Sheriff Crawford has had the office for one term. He has made a good record turing his incumb- ency, and has hundreds of friends throughout the county He will not be an easy opponent to defeat.
