UNIQUE CABBAGE PATCH.
Freak Garden In Half BarreI-Plants
 In Augur Holes.
From the Savannah News.

From the Savannah News.
 Perhaps the most unique cabbage patch on record is that of Thomas J. Winn of 4>o 127 Liberty street, west, one of the oldest engineers in the employ of the Southern railway. The patch is daily visited by the curious.
 The patch" is a half-barrel. the sides pierced by thirty-six augur holes, and on this limited space grow thirty-nine choice cabbages just ready to head" If plant ed in the conventional way the cabbage would extend along a row necessarily more than fifty feet in length As it is, they occupy space not much more than a square foot in area and the half barrel is only thirty inches high.
 Each cabbage plant grows in separate augur hole, except three which adorn the is the result of an accident coupled with is the resue of an accident coupled with the sudden freeze which occurred in De- celnber last. MT. Winn had prepared the barrel for strawberries and the plants were in a healthy state when the freeze suddenly ended their existence.
 The crop was then by merest accident changed to cabbages and MT. Winn had better luck with the second planting The question of watering the cabbages is solved by a wooden tube extending from top to bottom of the barrel, inside, and pierced with augur holes in every direction. The water poured into the tube reaches every plant. If merely poured into the barrel 1t would reach only the top plants.
 Every second day Engineer Winn takes his big engine to Jacksonville and return, and the other days he spends tending his truck farm" as he desgnates the half barrel hidden in a bank of green leaves.

Confidence In Future.

"Confidence in the future of a thing makes 1t success" said travelling man yesterday, "and this very thing is, in my opinion, the secret of Birmtngham's growth.
 Business men and men who have cap ital to invest always consider the per- manency of their investments, and the place that gives the greatest promise Is the greatest place.
 "I heard prominent man say recently that people walking along the streets of Birmingham, do not merely see the two and three, or perhaps four-story buildings which are now standing on the central business property, but out on the horizon of four or five years they see great buildings reaching fifteen stories skyward
 And so 1t Is, but these visions, and the confidence in them, are not confined to Birmingham and the Birmingham dis trict alone. but men elsewhere, in other great cities where invitations to capi- tai are numerous, see the future great ness of Birmingham and have sense enough to place their capital where it will bring goodly returns"

along as rapidly and finely as they would If they were belated, and no one who loves nature can afford to stay at home nowadays. All should wander afield in these glad March days, for such March rarely comes even to gulf state.
 Let no one fear long summer. We can not have too many days that can be spent under the greenwood tree. We cannot have too many days out in the soft airs that come to us from the lands of spice and balm-that have passed perhaps over the great landbound sea that washes Alabama's s southern border. We cannot spend too many days amid the birds and bees and even the red bugs of climate that stands unequalled in this world. When the world Is looked over and the best all-the-year climate is se- 1ected 1t will bear the tag, Here We Rest" The resting should be done, however, out of doors, amid all the wonders and miracles that Nature has brought to us even in the month of March.

Convict Labor at High Prices

The Atlanta Journal recltes the re- cent lease in this state of some con victs at the rate of $43 month. The Georgia convicts bring to the state but S19 month, and the Journal Is distressed over the difference. "Tak- ing the Alabama figures" says the Journal, "as basis of comparison. 1t will be seen that this state is receiv- ing s22S per annum for each of her convicts, whereas Alabama Is to re- ceive $516 per annum for each of those who have just been leased. This state, therefore, receives $2SS less for each of her convicts than Alabama is receiving under the lease alluded to. Georgia is getting less than half the amount she is entitled to receive for this class of labor, according to the price paid by sister state"
 The Journal finds further cause for complaint In the fact that the lessees of Georgia convicts are reletting them to sub-lessees at the rate of $475o a month, and 1t begins to think Georgia should proceed to get in a rising market something like fair value.
 The advancing price of convicts Is additional evidence of the scarcity of labor and its constantly rising value. Alabama was once glad to have her convicts self-sustaining, whereas now they bring into the treasury hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. But when convicts bring $43 month 1t Is plain that more labor is needed, for every convict must not only be fed and clothed, but he must be guarded, and these items would probably carry his total cost up to about $60 month. A state in which rude labor com mands s60 a month is state that needs additional labor-not additional convicts, but additional white citizens who will after while buy waste lands and become farmers and pro- ducers themselves. The problem is a serious one, hampered as the south is by a gold-brick immigration law, designed by our enemies In northern cotton mills.

Boil MeeViIs at Work

Beyond all doubt the Battle of the Mississippi will be fought this year. for the boil weevils, aided by a dry and warm winter, got to work only one parish west of the big river in the last days of February. Hereto fore their earliest appearance had been March 21, but their emergence this year was fully thirty days earlier in the year. No doubt this means a long and strenuous campaign, and II the insect is kept from crossing the river this year dry weather in June and July will have to come to the as- sistance of the boil weevil fighters. Dr. Hunter is the federal commander in the field, and he is supported by commission appointed by the leglsla- ture of Louisiana, and by another commission put in the field by Missis- sippi.
 "The conditions" says Dr. Hunter, Throughout the past winter have been unusually favorable for the hi bernation of the boil weevil. The two critical conditions for successful h1- bernation, temperature and dryness, have been as favorable as they will probably ever be-" This means that vast numbers of insects have come through the winter, and that they will unitedly attempt to force the line of the Mississippi. They will present a front fully two hundred miles long, but the chief assaults will be deliv- cred between Baton Rouge and Vicks- burg. Governor Vardaman should take the field in person regardless of his senatorial tussle with John Sharp Williams. If he can hold the line of the Mississippi against the Mexican Invader he will be entitled to any hon DTS that the people can bestow.

As Sound As a Dollar

The spasms that have afflicted Wall street are subsiding, ard bull cam paign based on big crops and the soundness of general business in the country is wholly possible. and even probable. The country is sound to the core. It may not have quite as much money as 1t wants, but mild stringency In that respect will re- strain speculation, and that in turn will be safeguard against disaster. The country is really in a safer con dition than it was before the f1urries in Wall street occurred. Those fur ries checked speculation, while they demonstrated the intrinsic and per vading strength of the general busi- ness of a great and energetic people.
 So long as the country is sound it does not matter whether foreign sell ing or Hartman started the recent spasms in Wall street. All feel, how ever. that something should be done to restore confidence In the railroads. To this end the most acceptable plan seems to be that of Jacob Schiff, who wants the representatives of the rail- roads to sit with the interstate com merce commission until a plan for the regulation of the railroads Is devised ready for presentation to the Presi- dent and to Congress. The huge problem Is beyond individual solu- ton, and the Schiff plan calls for the best possible collective solution.
 Wild speculation has been checked, and if the Schiff plan can be applied there is no reason why basis can not be laid for many additional years of prosperity. Good crops are antic- ipated, and business men in and out of the railroads should stand ready and willing to do their utmost to re- store public confidence where it is now lacking.

Street Crossing Protection.

''The city ordinance which prevents fast driving over the stret crossings in the fire limits Is not being enforced,' said J. M. Crowder yesterday. For a while men were detailed to watch the street crossings and see that no one drove faster than walk across them, but now the men detailed for that duty have been put to catching crap shooters and raiding. and the lives of citizens are daily endangered by recklessness on the streets.
 Some of the policemen stand around the street corners and gossip with their friends instead of keeping their eyes open and attending to their business saw an instance of that kind today, when man went over a crossing at A fast rate and came very near running over some people, and I called a policemans s attention to 1t. He was rather imperti- nent in his reply and I have reported him to the chief
 T think that the lives and limbs of the women, children and old men should be protected, especially down town in the business section, where everything Is so crowded and where we constantly have to cross the street. I think the citizens would be given much better police protec- ton if the policemen would let a few negro crap shooters and gamblers alone and protect the street crossings"

Jones Valley and Eastertide

Bud and leaf and blossom have transformed the hills that inclose Jones valley into things of beauty, and a thing of beauty, you know, is a joy for a season at any rate. Nor are the glories of the landscape con- fined to the enclosing hills. The val ley itself, in which are a dozen pros- porous towns, Is full of vernal beauty. There are humble blossoms just springing out of the soil and every tree is doing It's best to make the countryside glorious. Pretty soon, perhaps tomorrow or next day, the rosebuds will burst into the most won- derful development that earth and sunshine and moisture are capable of, ord then the glory of Jones valley ll be complete.
 he season of leaf and blossom Is a l.cnlh earlier than usual, month ahead of time, and perhaps this Is why every new leaf and blossom seems fresher and greener and more joyous than ever before They come

WINDOW DISPLAYS.
Professional Interest That May Cause
 Women to Look at Hats.

From the New York Sun.
 .ne exhibits of feminine apparel dis- played In the show windows of stores in the shopping districts are great at- traction to women and many women pause to inspect and admire them.
 In some parts of the wholesale districts of the city there may be seen window dis plays that likewise attract women, though primarily for a somewhat different req son. Take, for instance, the sample hats that one might see in the window of wholesale millinery establishment.
 A man might pass that window day af- ter day and week after week and never see anybody looking at these hats and he might fancy that nobody ever did stop to look at them except the buyers for re- tail millinery stores whose eye might light upon them as they traversed the wholesale districts buying goods, but let him pass here at the hour when the many workshops of the district had dis charged their myriad workers and then he may see @ solid line of women stand ing along in front of this window in- specting the hats therein with keen in- terest.
 They are workers from other wholesals millinery shops pausing on their way home to see what this concern is doing They know what they are turning out in their own shop-here Is an opportunity to inspect the productions of another to compare the styles of their own design CTS which they have helped to put into finished shape with the finished work of others. So this display has for these viewers double attraction, for the hati here seen may appeal to them In perl t1o1 oil la1f do o1I ,,.l while at the same time they have fol them besides, the lively professional interest they awaken as productions 4 their trade.
