Jones misjudgment Of Birmingham fly
in the fourth inning resulted in two tai

10 drop safely back of first base in the
eighth inning. and resulted in one run.
So. with these mishaps eliminated, the
score would have been one to one, and the
contest likely would have gone extra
innings, which, it appears, would have
been won by the visitors, as Joss was be
ginning to weaken in the final round.
Neither team did any hard swatting

This Years Crop and Prices

Perhaps never before was the size
of a crop so much in dispute as it was
In the present cotton year up, at any
rate. to the opening of the calendar
year. The first impressions in Sep
TENDER were that the crop would be
large, but when the September storm
occurred exaggerated reports of the
damage done were circulated, and
prices We're maintained at compare
lively high figures.
All Illusions as TO the crop were
scattered in January, and now all see
that the crop will exceed 100000
bales, perhaps crowding even the yield
of 1904, which stands as the record
crop. The strangest part of the strange
story of the present crop is that the
price of middling cotton stays up to 10
cents in all parts of the cotton belt.
Three years ago a crop of 100000
bales would have severely depressed
all prices. but that time is history now.
It no longer exists, and the fact that a
crop known to exceed 100000 bales
Is to be marketed al an average price
of 10 cents goes to show that consump
ton is still crowding production, and
will continue to crowd it.
This country cannot grow 100000
bales except in good growing seasons
II has neither acres enough in cottor
nor labor enough in the fields to make
a crop of that size in unfavorable sea
sons. All the world wants cotton. The
mills here and elsewhere want more
and more cotton each recurring year
The south will be pushed to meet re
quirements in years of too much OF
too little moisture. The mills are out
stripping the fields, and million
bale crop would hereafter mean cot
ton famine. and slyward prices.

Britain's Great Trade

The foreign trade of the United
States has risen to nearly three bill
lions. 1t is rising faster than the
trade of Great Britain or of Germany.
but the difference in gains is not rapid.
The gain of the United States and
Germany last year was 1875 per cent,
while the gain of Great Britain was
II per cent.
The tight little island is losing some
ground. but it is not losing ground
rapidly, and when area and popula-
ton are considered Great Britain is
the industrial wonder of the world.
Our foreign trade is $34 for every in
habitant, and 1914 for every square
mile of territory. Germany's foreign
trade is $50 per capita and $14.716 for
each square mile of territory.
But look at Great Britain Her for
eign trade is $122 per capita and
1t was carried in round figures to five
billions of dollars, which was $64 of
foreign trade for every acre in the
United Kingdom. The world has no
parallel. Possibly it never will have
in the respect of area and population.
But, also, industries do not bring
general prosperity, for there are prob
ably more paupers in Great Britain
per square mile than in any other
country. On her 120.979 square miles
she has nearly a million paupers. In
that proportion Alabama would have
about 100000 paupers, and yet there
are not here one-tenth of that num-
Der. Great Britain's industrial sue
cess and her pauperism are not easily
reconciled

Ienal HOLIDAYS.

"Mardi Gras being a legal holiday in
Alabama. reminds me Of the fact that
Louisiana and New York are the only
states observing as many holidays as
ours" said a citizen. I'VE have all the
legal holidays that any other southern
state has and two that have been placed
in the statutes in recent years out Of
respect to church sentiment-Mardis Gras
and Good Friday The former is a day
of festivity and the latter a day of fast
ing in the liturgical churches.
u do not think we have two many
legal holidays but it is an interesting
fact that in Alabama the only observance
of Mardi Gras, aside from the closing OF
the banks, is in Mobile. The Gulf City,
by the way. makes almost as much Of the
carnival season as New Orleans. Biz
mingham tried Mardi Gras. but carnival
weather could not be depended upon, and
the institution was wisely abandoned.
This town is not quite far enough south.
Speaking of legal holidays, many per-
sons have an idea that such days as the
Fourth of July and Christmas are ma
tional holidays. We have no such thing
as a national holiday the days generally
observed in this country being legalzed
only by safe legislatures Mississippi
has no legal holiday of any sort not
even Christmas"

Secret Legislation.

"If the legislature passes the bill which
is known as the miners BILL" said A. j.
Reilly yesterday. ut will have the effect
of putting all the small operators out Of
business and throwing the whole coal min
ing industry into tho hands of the big
corporations.
II happened to be in Montgomery on
other business and learned that the COM
mttee was ready to report on the bill
and | immedia tely asked that the opera
tors be allowed a voice in a matter in
which they were so deeply interested. The
committee agreed to hear from us and
| sent kilograms to tho operators to
come down at once and present their side
of the case.
Everyone knows that there is lot
of small mines putting out a couple
of hundred tons of coal a day. To COM
pei the owners of such mines to en-
ploy extra hands and to hold them re-
sponsible for accidents that happen. re-
CARELESS of the negligence of the miners
themselves, would simply be death blow
The result of putting the small operator
out of business will be to create a mo-
nopoly and | don't think the miner will
lind that to his interest.
But what | do protest against is the
fact that legislation should be attempted
upon matter of such Importance to
SO many people without our being noti
fled OF it or even permitted to express
our views. The miners had Mr.. Farley
there To represent them, and Mr.. Farley
had a lawyer to instruct him, but we
were kept in the dark and ii / had not
accidentally learned of what was being
done, we would have woke up some morn
ing to find ourselves out OF business
