cannino Factory at cuIIman.

Local business men and fruit growers are preparing for the building of can ming factory at Cullman, said John All good of that city, who was in Blrming- ham yesterday.
 "Cullman with it's enormous and rapid ly increasing production of fruits of all kinds adapted to thls climate, has long been in need of an enterprise of this kind but somehow the matter has been neglected until this season.
 ''It is understood that the factory will be put in operation in time for the hand ling of this seasons crop which promises to be unusually large.
 "rhe soil and climate at Cullman are es- pecially adapted to the raising of toma- toes but for the want of ready mar lxet the production has been limited but the canning factory will create a de- mand for this fruit and 1t is certain that the farmers and fruit growers will turn their attention more to their cultivation than ever before.
 .'This factory will be built and operated solely by local men and this welcome in- dustry will be of great value to the peo- pie of that section

PRACTICAL POLITICS.

From Harper's Weekly.
 A practical politician of the first water came to light in a small Indiana town not long ago. In this town there Is an officer, designated as inspector of streets and roadways, who receives the munih- cent salary of $25O per year, As the op- posing political parties are very nearly balanced in this town, there is keen op- position, so that when this office became vacant and the authorities ordered an election to fill it. there was a lively cam palgn for this small plum, no other cleo tions being near. The democratic candi- date was rather shrewd old fellow by the name of Ezekiel Hicks, and It looked as though he would be successful, as a neat little sum had been subscribed and turned over to him as a campaign fund To the astonishment of everybody, he was defeated.
 q can't account for it." one of the democratic leaders said, gloomily With that money we should have won. How did you lay it out, Ezeldel?
 ''Hum," Ezekiel said, slowly, pulling his whiskers. ''Yer see, that office only pays s25O a year salary, an I didn't see nc sense in payin' $500 out to get the office so I jest bought me a little truck farm instead

Thinks Jordan Riqht.

Many people have seen fit to criticiss President Harvie Jordan of the Southern Cotton association for his declaration re- garding 15 cents cotton,'' said W. D. Nesbitt yesterday, but the facts and figures relating to demand and con sumption in the past bear him out in his prediction that cotton will sell for Ia cents before next September.
 eIn previous years when cotton went above 15 cents the conditions of supply and demand were not as bullish as they are at present. There Is less cotton to meet the demand than there was at the corresponding time of the year on either of the other occasions.
 "The manufacturers are getting better priee for their cloth and finished goods than ever before, an4 they can afford to nurchase cotton at 15 cents and still make a good profit They should treat the farmer right and allow him to make some thing off of his cotton this year which he can do with the staple selling at 10 cents"

THE ROOSEVELT OF GERMANY.

From Leslies Weekly
 William IL is to celebrate his silver wedding on February P. and it is on the programme that he is to make a speech which will be read throughout the world, in favor of international peace. The Kaiser is decidedly the most picturesque and dashing of the old worlds rulers. He nus been called the Theodore Roose- welt of Germany. Our President has no warmer admlrer than is the German Elm peror.
 Germany, with its 5S,0OOcOO inhabitants, is the most populous country in Europe, except Russia, and its people are far more intelligent and far more effective as producers than are those oi Russia. /lt ranks next to England among the Euro pean powers in the extent Of It's indus tries, and in some lines of activity it sur passes England. It is one of the most pro- gressive of the worlds nations, and has sent to the United States as ambassa- dors some of its foremost statesmen. It has never had a more faithful representa- tive than the present ambassador, Baron von Sternburg.
 William H. has surprised friends and enemies alike. When he went on the throne in 1888 most persons believed him to be a marplot who would precipitate between his country and some of her neighbors before he was long in power. Eighteen years of rule have shown that these forehodings were erroneous.

Rirminnham's Finances.

The Macon Telegraph finds fault with Mayor Ward because he does not bring the city's expenses within it's in come The desirability of making both ends meet is beyond question, but the Telegraph fails to point out how it can be done. If Birmingham were a slug gish town. growing slowly, it perhaps might be accomplished speedily. but when on a town that is fairly bursting with prosperity is imposed a constitu- tional limitation of taxation, 1t is not easy to do what the Telegraph says Mayor Ward should do!
 Under the constitution of 1901 Bir- mingham can not levy tax for city purposes higher than 1 per cent, and valuations for city taxation must con form to those for county and state tax ation. If therefore valuations are un- duly increased here, the people of this city would be called to pay an undue proportion of state taxes, and they are now paying one-seventh of this states taxes.
 The Telegraph will thus see that be tween a tax limitation and a booming city Mayor Ward has task that may fairly be denominated difficult. And yet Mayor Ward is pulling towards the goal. He is trying to bring the city's expenses within it's income by prudent administration of it's affairs. He can not do this in a single year, but if the Telegraph will look this way occasion ally it will some day see the task ac- complished.
