THE ALABAMA PRESS.

The annual meeting of the Alabama Press Association will be held in this city on the 18th and 18th of July. It is made up of men who do more for the public good than any other class in our State. and their influence in Ala bama is constantly growing. Now, while Montgomery is striving to make her claim for 100000 people in 1910. as good time for the press people to visit our city. Their meetings will be held sat the rooms of the Commercial Club and many courtesies will be shown them while here. President Neil Mas arranged very attractive pro- gram. and Secretary Pepperman has looked after their interests in the way of arranging trips 10 Mobile and the Cuff in a. most satisfactory manner. rho indications are that the anti-pass law win in no way diminish attend smnce upon the annual meeting.

AIMING roo HIGH.

It was Emmerson, we believe, who advised the aspiring youth to hitch your wagon to a star" As we'll as we now remember he failed to tell them how they were to so about accomplish ang such a job, nor do we remember Khat he warned them aganst mishaps, but Emmerson was something of a pkyscraper in his writings, and we vice was to incite youth to higher eff Fort
 But late speaker who was address 2ng some college graduates goes Elm merson one better. for he advised them 10 hitch their wagons to airships That might not be such a hard job as the other but we think 1t would be a good deal more ticklish. A star. unless it is one of the shooting variety, appears as if 1t might be quite a solid hitching- post. and not likely to run away with a wagon. but that cannot truthfully be said of airships. Most of them are as uncertain as lightning-bugs, and the wagon hitched to one would be about as likely to take a header into the damp ocean as it would be to land on solid earth, to say nothing of the prob ability of being dragged about the earth and messing up things. It is all very we'll to encourage ambition in the youths of the country but there is such a thing as overriding a job.

COTTON TO BE HIGH AND SCARCE

Cotton will be scarce and in great demand before the opening of the next season. It is not probable that any will be brought to market during the month of August. A considerable quantity is usually brought in during that month. but the crop being at least three weeks late makes 1t almost cer- tain that marketing will not begin un-, til September. Judging from the To- cal standpoint there will be no old crop to carry into the new year. Last year at this date there was in Mont gomery l1,471 bales as against only 1858. Between now and September 1 that small amount will be disposed of and leave the market absolutely bare On September 1 last year the stock on hand was S,96S bales. This year it will probably be nothing The stocks at all ports and interior points are very light. With no old cotton on
 hand and present crop at the highest
 25 per cent less than the last one 1t would seem that good prices must be paid for what the planters may gather this fall.

THE "ALTERNATEo PLAN.

In view of the statements that have been made as to the positions of the late Senator Morgan and of senassr Pettus, as to the alternate Senatorial plan the following from The Cullman Democrat will be read with great in- terest:
 It has been said. that the late Sena- tor Morgan and Senator Pettus were "pained" at the action of the Demo cratic Executive Committee in having the Democrats name their successors in case of death. in the primary; that they resented it," etc. We are pre- pared to state that thiS Is not true. The editor of The Cuilman Democrat was the first Alabamian 10 reach Wash lngton after the provisions for the pri- mary were made. and we were in- formed that Senators Morgan and Pet tus were anxious to talk with us; we called on them, and after fully discuss ing the matter. the Senators expressed themselves as well pleased. We know, from everything said at the interviews, that the action of the Committee met their full approval. The "mourne were the enemies of Senators Morgan and Pettus. as well as the plan.

What are we to expect next in the way of government vessels and prop erty being used for the President and his family. This telegram from New Haven is the latest:
 Instead of remaining here for the Yale Harvard regatta, the government yacht Sylph which came here yester- day to take out the Harvard varsity eight as guests of Teddy Roosevelt. Jr.' was ordered to oyster Fay today to bring Archie Roosevelt, the President 8 son. here. It Is expected that the boat will return early Thursday morning with a party of the Rooseyelts to see the Yale Harvard regatta.
 As The Savannah News well says; NO word of adverse criticism will be found in any Republican paper with respect to this matter. It is Roosevelt who is using government vessels for the pleasure of himself and family, and Roosevelt can do no wrong"

The influence of the Di- qestive Organs on Health

Few realize how much their digestive organs, stomach and sfntestines. influence their gener- al hHAikh.
 A sound man lives oblivious of his stomach, and your physician wiIMtell you that ninsrtentns c1 all diseases have thekr origin in the digestive organs. It Is a common sense statement that wholesome food naturally digested and assimilated. Is neo- essary to health. Indigestion, disease of the digestive organs. prevents and gestfon of food. It differs in synptonns and effects. but ia. fortunately. generally recognized by the sufferer.
 To remove the effect you must remove the cause. Cure the di- gestive organs; nothing else VIII be of permanent benefit. A remedy that has cured hun- areds of people, and is endorsed . by eminent physicians, who have given 1t thorough test, is cer- ' tainly worthy of trial Mir. B. T. Pittman. a we'll known travelling representative.

Lord Esher.

Lord Fisher, who has been described as one of the potent influences of the present day in England. was born in London. June 30, 1852. He was edu- cated at Eton and at Trinity College. Cambridge He first entered public life at the age of twenty-six as private secretary to the Duke of Devonshire, then the Marquis of Harrington, Lord Esher has declined the offer of several high positions in the government ser vice, and the only office he now holds is that of lieutenant governor and dep uty constable for Windsor Castle. He enjoyed the favor of Queen Victoria dence and regard of King Edward. It is said to be doubtful if there is> any one whose name carries a greater amount of weight with the king, who consults him upon every conceivable question, whether 1t be matters of state or of finance, or of the domestic econ- omy of the royal household.

CHEERING INDICATIONS.

The preliminary report of Immigra- ton Commissioner De Holl made to the Governor through MT. Walker Percy, is most encouraging. It regis ters the success of the first attempt made by the State of Alabama in Flu rope to secure high class immigrants.
 Alabama needs them. Alabama needs more like them. The thrifty German immigrants who settled in Cullman County have made Cullman one of the most famous counties of Alabama. The prosperity which they established shows what thrifty. indus trlous white people can do on Alabama soil. although the soil and the climate may be to them new and unfamiliar. The need of industrious, thrifty colo nists is one of the crying needs of the State.
 In this connection the experience of South Carolina as reflected in The Charleston Evening ROst is of Interest to Alabama:
 The undertaking of an experienced colonization agent to locate colony of Scandlnavians on a tract of land near Chester, where. 1t is reported. he has secured option on 5000 acres of good agricultural land indicates that our immigration agitation in South Carolina is attracting practical interest and moVng private endeaVor. when II gets to the point where coloniZers Of Experience and. good business judgment recoenize the opportunities for their activity and profit in 1t, an immigration And 1t is by this plaa of colonization

Wanted a Man to Bury.

Herald.
 Alabama is not lacking in states manship," said Walter Moore last night. T could name list of a dozen or more aVailables to distinction. any of whom would prove brilliant star in the galaxy of greatness. and l am not sure that any of these will miss the mark of the high calling. Time works won ders, and the virtue of patience Is a winner-some times. But it. seems to me that just now Alabama is looking for a man to bury, that there is a yawning gulf. a political sepulcher an alluring point, an ignus fatuus which Is calling for a ma nto bury, and 1 shall watch with fear and trembling lest it prove to be some man of bril- liant intellect. someone wise In his own conceit, someone seeking way be- yond his depth; someone less cautious than great someone who reckons with out his host; someone whose success thus far in the realms of leadership may misguide or misdirect his ambi- ton. Yes, and who moves without foresight; or still it may be some one who Is too blind to see the trend Of popular thought and who cannot wait
 There Is going to be a political burial in Alabama, and there may be more than one corpse. Just watch the ldes of July!

Mir. Mertfss,r Lnte.t Story.

Gustave F. Mertins,. well known lawyer of Montgomery and the author of The storm Signal" has in the July number of The Reader Magazine a strong story under the title of ''The Dregs and the Froth." The story Is & keen and incisive study of the race question and is forcible throughout.
 The story is a contrast and coni- parison between type of the negro race and a type of the white race. or the type of the white man Is 1t might be said the white race run to seed. v He is the product of a percentage which was once manly and self-respecting, but which throughout the years had degenerated into the lowest of the "po white trash class.
 The dregs of the race is then cleverly contrasted with the brute type of ne- gro, but two generations removed from savagery and practically beast in impulses- and actions. The scene or the story Is the pine lands and swamps of South Alabama. Here the white man. weak and' foolish, fleeing From an imaginary danger hides in a swamp. To the same swamp as a place of ref uge there comes the strong and brutal negro. escaping from mob, which sought to lynch him for an assault.
 Between the two there Is a fight to the death for the possession Of the hid- ing place in the swamp and the white mans cunning wins over the brute strength of the negro.
 The story Is not only cleverly ana forcefully told, butit Is. drawn out ar tistically and clothed in excellent Eng fish.

An Amusing Chapter Promised.

Birmingham Ledger.
 The effort to create the impression that only a few members of the LegiE- lature have asserted their allegiance to the Senatorial nominee is but part of a vicious attempt at political lar ceny. More than half the Legislature have assured Senator Bankhead, either in writing or verbally, that they will carry out the wish of the party and vote for him. The tricks of the gang who tried to steal the seat will be pub lished a little later and will be an amusing chapter in the State rohtical history No other name than that of the party nominee will be presented to the Legislature, unless 1t be done 'by request"
