Ezra M. Cutting. cash fer at Popes, soon began to appreciate the company of the distinguished diplo- mat but fl became necessary in the disposition of her boarders to place Dr. Yung Wing at a different table. where he was thrown Into company with an entirely nnappreciative lot of boarders. six Of whom threatened to leave Mrs Warmers hospitabie board on the ground that they would not sit at the table with a nigger!"
 The Courant prints Dr. Yung Wings photograph to illustrate something more than column of very interesting text. and We note the affair only for the pur- poseSof keeping the record straight. The treatment of this educated Chinese gen tleman shows how strongly the people of Connecticut are affected in their conduct by race prejudice. We almost shudder to think what would have been the condem- nation visited upon the southern people had such an event occurred in this part of the country Knowing our New Eng land friends. however. as we know them. and as they are, Dr. Yung Wing ought to esteem himself fortunate in having es- capped Mrs. Warmers protesting boarders without suffering violence at their hands.

Holdinu Cotton.

Winston Jones, member of the firm of Marks & Gayle of Montgomery, is in the city and will remain here several days He is at the Morris hotel and spoke in- terestingly last night of the cotton st- uation in central Alabama.
 We have extensive cotton warehouses in Montgomery" he said, but spacious they are. there is not sufficient room to store the cotton being held by the farmers of that section. The buildings are filled to overhowing.
 There is not the slightest doubt In my mind that the farmers of central Alabama are more prosperous now than they have been for many years. The excellent prices they received for their cotton last sea- son practically cleared away all debts and mortgages and left some money over, so stand together and hold the cotton of the last crop until they can command their own price. They are certainly holding the cotton in our section
 ...MontgomeTy feels the effects of the prosperity of the farmers of central Ala bama," continued MT. Jones' Never be. fore has that city been so prosperous. Never before was there such business ac- tivity noted, all lines of trade and com merce feeling the effects. There Is no doubt that the people have plenty of money, there is work for everybody, and as a result people are buying all the necessities and many of tife luxurles of life

A BREEZE IN OKLAHOMA.

From the Kansas City Times.
 Wind that blows so fast you cannot see through it possibly Is new thing to science" said Kansas man who recently moved to Oklahoma, but that is what I saw last year. l had seen that a storm was coming, and was hastening from the barn to the house when I became aware that the disturbance was a cyclone The house was still standing in plain view of myself and my wife both of whom were running for the cellar which was under it. when suddenly we came upon the base ment of the house The house had blown away right before our face and eyes and yet we had not seen it go. The wind had got to blowing so fast that we could not see through It. and so the house had sailed away without our being aware of 1t. Our three children were safe and sound in the basement so we didn't feel the disappointment so keenly of losing the house. But swear and I'll not re- cede from it, that the wind blew so fast the eye couldn't penetrate clear air. wish some scientist would explain it."

nation herself, and she did not feel big enough or strong enough to do the sovereign act unaided and alone. Ari- zona has no such choice. 1t must re- main a territory if it does not become part of an unwelcome state.
 The Confederacy is the only other example of coercion. But the southern states had seeded, and Arizona has not and does not propose to secede Arizona is a part of the country. a territory. and 1t deserves to remain a territory until 1t can become a state as other territories have done.
 The injustice to be meted out to Arizona is all the more repulsive be- cause it is purely and wholly partizan. If Arizona were in the north instead of the south-if 1t were peopled by New Englanders instead of men born and bred in the south-it would have been hurried into the union long ago It is manifestly democratic in its ten dencies, and republican Congress pro- poses to punish it by driving into the union in a manner that is plainly par tizan uncalled-for and unprecedented The plot should be fully exposed in the Senate.

About Telephones.

q witnessed an incident inAa restaurant a few days ago which caused me 10 mentally promise never again to get an gry at the telephone girl who keeps me waiting or suddenly rings the bell while I have the receiver glued to my ear said a business man last night. T was taking luncheon in the restaurant, ana at the same table were two young wom- en, one of whom was the Aprsncipal actor in the affair of which l speak.
 'The telephone began to ring Ihe cashier was busy and did not stop to answer The bell continued to ring loudly and almost angrily. Finally one of the young women turned and watched the telephone. After while she again faced her companion, and remarked: Well. 1 guess the man on the other end of that line is pretty mad at the girl who relieved me for supper, all right
 That set me thinking and l reached the conclusion that most of the troubles ex- perienced with the telephone are caused by delay on the part of persons who should answer the ring"

STATE POLITICS

Geneva Reaper: The sentiment seems to be general not to disturb Senators Morgan and Pettus
 Greensboro Record: Senators Morgan and Pettus have signif1ed their willing ness to serve the people of Alabama in the Senate. The people will do the rest.
 Selma Times: The Times has heard it predicted that Governor Oates would run in the primary for one of the senatorial positions straightout. and not for the suc- cession. We do not believe it.
 Alexander City Outlook: Both of Ala bama's grand old men and distinguished Senators have announced that they will be candidates before the people to suc- ceed themselves. This virtually means that they will be elected.
 Montgomery Journal: When the county primaries are held and the politicians get heart whole and fancy free"-free from their own troubles-they will have time to look after the troubles of others, and then we can only opine what will hap pen.
 Huntsville Tribune: The simultaneous announcement of Senators Morgan and Pettus of their candidacy for reelection to the Senate has been received by Chair man Mallory of the state executive com mittee. It is of course improbable that they will encounter the least opposition. It is indeed quite a tribute that all Ala hama will return them to the Senate without dissenting vote
 Randolph Star Gen. John T. Morgan has announced for reelection to the United States Senate. Morgan Is one of the ablest men in the Senate and is an honor to Alabama, and to the nation. and is the idol of his people He has made an enviable record during his long career of service for his state as one of her representatives in the Senate and he will no doubt be honored by being reelected.
 Brewton Standard: Our venerable Sem ators, Morgan and Pettus. have both sig nified their intention of entering the race for reelection, which is tantamount to saying that there will be no race. for there is no man in our state today who has the hardihood to come out and oppose them. Interest will now center on the fight for the places of alternates to sue ceed to the Senate In case of a vacancy. Several of our strongest men will be out to conteset for these plums and the cam paign will be brilliant one

Bobby Walthour has accepted the of fer made to him to ride in the six-day race in Paris" said a friend of the cham pion cyclist yesterday, "and he left for Europe at noon today.
 Bobby was anxious to ride in Atlanta during March, but when he found that Jack Prince would be unable to arrange a track for races, he was willing to ac- cept European engagement.
 Not only will he take part in the six day race while in Paris, but he will also participate in a number of other races on indoor tracks in Paris and in Ger many. He expects to ride with Moran as a partner in the six-day race"

the many advantages which would accrue to Birmingham from this owl car Per sons who now attend theatre parties at night are compelled to rush home for fear of missing the last car. If they could catch a car every hour, they would be tempted to enjoy supper after the show, and thus the restauranteur. and through him his walters. cooks, the butcher and baker, all would benefit financially
 My father used to gay that the one thing to distinguish a Community from city was an all night street car ser vice, and I was duly impressed Birming- ham should take that to heart and ar range things in such manner that she would leave the community class. It would rebound to her benefit in more ways than one"

TWO MILES A MINUTE.

William Wallace Whitlock, in New Tor Times.
 The miles a minute
 The phesant's not in 1t. The swift Is g. pokey old thing;
 The pigeon and swallow
 Are beaten all hollow, The duck seems asleep on the wing. Two miles a minutel
 The snipe and the linnet Are quite stationary and slow; The ibex and eagle
 May think themselves regal. But not when it comes to the go.
 Two miles a minute
 Why did they begin 1t? I'd much rather potter along
 Confound all the hurry,
 The worry and furry, That kills all the romance and song.
