Measuring Clothes by Photography.

w WOThs
 When one comes to industrial and commercial uses, the list of uses of photography Is endless. An ingenious German gentleman now supplants the tailor's measurer and measures a man for a suit of clothes by photographs The latest improvement in the phono- graph Is a system by which a phono- graphic film records the motion of a sensitive flame. and the variations in intensity in the band thus obtained are made to cause. variations In telephone circuit, reproducing the original sounds much more clearly than by for mer methods. The tunnel builder and railroad contractor not only keep in touch with the progress of the work, the conditions. and the effects of blast ing. but provide against damage suits by before and after" views. In many factories sample books are made pho- togrAphically. showing exact construc- tion. design. wood and finish.
 One might go on indefinitely. but enough has been outlined to give some hint of the part the camera plays in every material branch of human ac- tivitys

pare one feature of Johnston's admin istration with that of Jelks. Under Johnstons administration for It's last year, there was paid into the State Treasury as net result of the Convict Department ss.s53.14. and during the last year of the Jeiks administration there was paid in net s2ss,25z52. difference of s2s7.oss.42.
 If 1t may be assumed that the Jelks administration shall form a basis for future endeavors in this particular de- partment, 1t will be seen that in fifty years-the favorite number of years it seems---there will be saved to the State net, based on the net increase of the last year of Johnston's admin istration, over fourteen millions of dollars, and If the interest should be compounded. and we all pay compound interest in this life. the amount would be sufficient to pay off the whole nine million dollars of the States indebted ness half-dozen times over
 The opelika News is very close to ex-Governor Johnston, or ought to be. It has been a most faithful newspaper friend No state ment has been too bald or absurd for The News to use in the attempt to boost him, and just now when the ex-Gover- nor is In another race, The News, with a half-dozen other papers. seems bent on making him perfectly ab- surd. The administration of ex- Governor Johnston, in so far as 1t can be considered from a financial stand point was not a success. but on the contrary, a dismal failure and no amount of newspaper clanking can, in the face of the facts. disprove this statement. The wise thing for his foolish friends to do would be to pre- serve a discreet silence.
 The Advertiser did not make the statement that 1t would take two or three months to engrave the bonds without having some information along that line. There are less than six houses, perhaps. in the United States, which could print the bonds. If they were printed by other and smaller es- establishments, they would have no standing in banking houses. The News did not know that, of course. If The News will have its own bank commu- nicate with its New York correspond ent 1t will find out that the bonds can not only not be printed with a country newspaper outfit, but that successful sale depends on their being printed by one of the few great engraving con cerns. whose endorsement of their genuineness makes them saleable. The same source of information would make 1t clear that two or three months would be required in their printing. The Ad- vertiser is charged with attempting to deceive the public in this matter It did not attempt to deceive, and it did not mislead any person. What 1t said was true
 Finally; We have heard very much of ex-Governor Johnston's financial ad- His friends, however, should particularize. Let The News, that seems to live to take care of him, name particular incident or effort of his time in the Governors office which calls forth it's abstract encomiums Let the News be specific.

Lincoln, INeD. JOurnaI.
 Nobody in the North ought to quar- rel with the sentiment so strongly ex- pressed by The Montgomery Adver- tiser that the historic old capitol of esentials, even though larger and bet ter quarters are now needed for the State Government. The building in will be an object of great historic in terest for all time to come, not only to the Southern people. but to the whole nation, and it would be a pity to de- stroy 1t or alter it out of all semblance to its original self.

Macon TeIegraph.
 Southern editors unite in the belief that 1t is time to appoint another mem Der of the Supreme Court from this section, but in each case the candi- dates vary according to the State the editor represents. All this Is very well, but we do not think President Roose- welt can be counted upon to appoint another Southern justice, not until the retirement of Justice Harlan at any rate, and even then his choice will probably fall on a Southern Republi- can.
 Cleveland in giving the South it's due share of the highest appointments will not be repeated until another Demo- cratic President Is elected.

TnYestmenfn of Mr. sfnnrt.

No decision has been reached yet" said Noses W. Stuart yesterday "as to what we will do with the properties re- Lawrence streets and that at Decatur street and Dexter avenue.
 Tt goes without saying that we are to improve these properties but I can not say how soon the work will com mence. We may erect buildings of a public nature and we may put up build tngs on the lots for other persons. If any one wants to build a school house or other building of a semi-public char acter we may entertain propositions from him.
 The truth is. we cannot tell with any degree of certainty what will be done with the properties. They were purchased for investment and if we find 1t to our interest to construct build ings on Ahem we will, of course, do so I should think that we would decide on something definite in the early fu- ture.

To Secure Better Hates.

W. F. Vandiver. President of the Montgomery Freight Bureau returned yesterday from Louisville. Ky, where he went to appear before meeting of railroad traffic men in the interest of better freight rates to Montgomery from Eastern and Western points.
 Walter F. Lewis, Manager of the Freight Bureau. remained in Louis- vile to further present the matter to the traffic men while MT. Vandiver. having urgent business at home. re-
 We were given a hearing by the railroad mon Tuesday afternoon said Mir, Vandiver. "kfter I had spoken MT. Lewis followed and I was pleased great ly with his argument, his general knowledge of the situation and the forcible presentation of facts and fig ures with which he had fortified him self. We were fortunate indeed to se- cure such valuable man as Mir. Lewis to manage our Freight Bureau"
 MT. Vandiver said he felt very hope full that Montgomery would get good treatment in the readJustrnent of freight rates and altogether, he believ- ed that the visit of MT. Lewis and him. self to Louisville would bear fruit

Mir. Poole On the Crops.


 Commissioner of Agriculture R. K. Poole believes that Alabama will have the biggest corn crop in years. have assured this. Cotton. he believes is so far set back by the rains that the farmers will be necessitated to plant corn, especially in the highlands. Corn may be planted as late as June while cotton planted anywhere around that date would fall victim 10 the eariv frosts.
 Thousands of tons of fertilizers hsVp been washed away in the hill counties, is his belief and this will also cause planting of corn unprecedented In Ala bama's history.

A Washington dispatch to The Chi cago Tribune, says:

A Washington dispatch to The Chi cago Tribune says:
 President Roosevelt Is following prac- tically the same course in bringing the Moroccan conference to a successful conclusion that he observed in the Russo-Japanese peace negotiations. He has been in consultation with Baron Speck von Sternburg, the German Am bassador. and this afternoon discussed the situation and the proposals and counter proposals advanced in Alge- ciras with M. Jusserand, the French Ambassador. Following the conference with the French Ambassador, the con fldent prediction was made .Aat a set clement of the difficulties between the two nations will be arrived at probably tomorrow, when the Congress reassem- bles. and if not tomorrow, then early next week.
 Why, certainly! says The Louisville Courier-Journal. And If not next week any old time. And if not any old time. then, of course, it was all canard that the President ever meddled in the matter This is an egg that must be classified altogether by it's hatching."
