CREATE INDUSTRIES
SHIPMENTS OF VEGETABLES AND
 FRUITS GROWING.
skxty-Eight Cars of Strawberries and Radishes Already Sent Out Fron, Mobile and Montgomery
 Division This Year.

The shipment of perishable prod ucts from points between Montgomery and Mobile on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad has assumed man. moth proportions this spring, and these industries. which are being fos- tered directly by the Louisville and Nashville, are many times more pros porous this year than at any time in the history of the Mobile and Mont. gomery division.
 The shipment of early vegetables and berries from this section of Ala bama began as early as March 20 this year and the business so far handled Is unprecedentedly large. Up to date, hfty-three cars of strawberries and fifteen cars of radishes have been shipped from the district. passing through Montgomery. where they are re-iced en route mostly to the cities of the middle west where they are in great demand
 According to an official of tbe Louisville and Nashville Railroad. tho development in this line in this ter ritory is simply astonishing. Three years ago. the railroad put agents into this field for the purpose of fos- tering the growth of vegetables. ber- ries and fruits.
 The industries have been carefully nurtured, and, during the first two years, the results were com paratively light, but with this season, the en- tire section has taken on the air of unlimited prosperity. The shipments this season are manifold what they were last year at this time.
 Some idea of the value of tho in- dustries can be gained from the fact that people of this section are now being paid from $500 to s1,o00 for a car load of radishes. and $1.200 for a car of strawberries. this being the price paid for the products on the track by commission agents who are there ready to take the perishables.
 It is expected that during the sea- son at least 300 cars of perlshabIe stuffs will have been shipped from the Mobile and Montgomery division. Among the later products will be to- matoes. canteloupes, watermelons, beans and peaches.
 The zone of this activity extends from Greenville south to Bay Minette, including Boiling. Garland, Owassa, Evergreen, Sparta, Marble, Castleber- ry, Brewton, Canoe, Atmore and Rob- ertsdale Summerdale and FdAey on the Bay Minette and Fort Morgan Rail- road.

Snow storm Delays Train.

The Western Railway passenger train No. 35 due in Montgomery at 10:55 a. m, did not arrive here yes- terday until 3:30 D. m. The lateness was due to the fact that the train encountered snow storm on the Southern while a short distance out of washington. The train was also delayed an hour and fifteen minutes in the Southern yards in Atlanta on account of the congestion of traffic.

 On the second the general answer Is "Yes." In some States where there are "favorite sons" Mir. Roosevelt Is the second choice, but in the Middle and Western States the reply has been almost unanimously, Roosevelt and no one else."
 To the third question the general reply has been that the president cannot throw his strength to anyone else.
 To the fourth the answers are that as yet there Is no movement against the president. but 1t is probable that efforts will be made by his enemies to win various State delegations.
 MT. Taft Is favored in many States as a second choice, while Vice-Presi. dent Fairbanks Is regarded by others as the best conservative choice.

The following very excellent editorial
is taken from the Washington Post of
March 7th.
Notwithstanding the statement that
several leading nations are averse to dis
cussiDg the question of limitation of arm
aments at the forthcoming peace confer
ence at The Hague, it is almost certain
that the subject will come up and that
some progress will be made toward as.
certaining the real attitude of the powers
on this growing question. The immense
cost of modern fleets and armies, and
the inability of the most expert men to
fix limitation upon the probable future
expenditures for war preparations, force
the conclusion that an international ar
rangement will be made, somehow, pro-
viding for limitation upon ornaments
and the necessary corollary, an enlarge
ment of the powers of the international
arbitration tribunal.
In the House of Commons this week
the Parliamentary secretary of the ad-
miralty presented estimates for the next

Spooner will make New York City his
headquarters, and will receive a salary
of $4,000 per annum.
Mr.. Spooner's position will be similar
to that held by M. d. Grover, prior to his
death year and half ago. Since then
this work has been performed jointly by
R. E. Wilkinson and Judge B. Young,
with W. r. Begg as general solicitor for
the Great Northern, with headquarters
at st. Paul. Mr.. Wilkinson has gone
back to his former duties in charge of
the construction work of the Hill roads,
and Mr.. Begg will keep his present post.
AS Mr.. Hills personal representative.

according TO railroad men, must be taken
into consideration whenever big money
deals come up. 1t is said that at Sena-

FRIDAY, MARCH IS, 1907.
Resignation of Senator Spooner
of Wisconsin.

The Register publishes in another col
umn the account of the resignation of
Senator Spooner of Wisconsin, from the
United States Senate, and his expected
appointment as counsel and general adj
wiser for the great railroad builder and
operator, James j. Hill, at salary of
$4,000.
The resignation of Mr.. Spooner was
unexpected to the country. He was one
of the ablest of the United States Sena-
tors, and fairly or the right side of most
questions, though with learning per-
haps in favor of corporations. At least
he did not stand at all on such subjects
as his colleague, Senator LaFollette, who
is well known as one of the most ad-
vanced supporters of reform measures.
But the great mistake of Senator
States Senator, was in not opposing that
part of the treaty with Spain by which
the Philippine Islands were brought I'M
der our control. For it is well known
lndI MI. OpOOutI, NDOSe Judgement vi
all questions was naturally excellent,
was unalterably opposed to this Philip
pine policy, and if, like Senator Hoar,
he had voted with his conscience, that
whole miserable business, which in the
mere matter of expense, it is estimated
has already cost the United States over
five hundred millions of dollars, with
nothing back, and the expenses but just
beginning, wol Id have been defeated
for it was only passed in the Senate by
one majority.
And if either Senators Edmunds OF
Morrill, had represented Vermont at the
time, this most egregious blunder would
have been prevented. For both of these
men were very strongly opposed to any
such policy, and either of them had the
courage to vote with his convictions
Unfortunately, Mr.. Spooner had not,
but instead. voted with his party, as is
usual with politicians.

improvement of the America n
Horse.

We print in another column a valuable
as we'll as instructive article from the
Washington correspondent of the Spring
field Republican, showing what is to be
done in Vermont by the national govern
ment looking to the improvement of the
American horse. If the farmers of Yer
mont, and especially the horsebreeders
of this State. are sufficiently alive to
grasp this opportunity to cooperate with
the federal government in the effort to
develop desirable carriage horses, there
will dawn a new era in our State
Time was when it meant as much to
speak of Vermont horse and Vermont
sheep as Vermont marble or Vermont
granite means at the present time. Now
we are largely content to be proud of the
Vermont turkey and Vermont maple
sugar so far as farm products are con-
cerned, leaving to other States the build
ing up of a reputation for high priced
horses and sheep.
One of the central ideas of the State
fair project is to develop competition
and interest in the breeding of all kinds
of live stock. which will in the not dis
tant future make Vermont the annual
mecca of breeders from all parts of the
country and that this can be done has
already been once demonstrated in our
history. 1t is not many years since
sheep breeders came all the way from
Australia to Vermont and paid into the
thousands for single buck. Those de-
string fine driving horses in different parts
of the country including the nations
capital city were wont to boast of their
Vermont horses bought at handsome pro-
fit to our breeders.
With the certainty of the continuation
of the national governments plant for
the development of the Morgan horse
and efforts to improve the American car
riage horse. it goes without saying that
Vermont farmers will receive large bene-
fit from general effort to cooperate for
the purpose of building up great CEN
trail market in connection with the State
fair. And so with other kinds of live
stock. What Vermont needs is genuine

Cotton and Battle Ships.

The New York Globe sees in the Amer
lean cotton crop an agency "better than
battle ships" for the preservation of
peace. The Globe notes that the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor has just
informed the country that in 1906 the
value of the cotton exported amounted
to practically $500, 100000. While there
was falling off in quantity of cotton ex-
ported as compared with the year 1905,
the number of pounds shipped in 1905
1906 it was 1850. 239, O30. the increased
value more than offset this-the value
of the 1906 export being $2l 900, 600 in
excess of that of the 1905 export. The
Globe says that comparing the value for
1906 with the average value for the period
1869, il is seen that the value Of the
export has much more than doubled in
less than decade. Our contemporary
contends that through our cotton crop
we hold large portion of the CONNER
cial world, and especially Great Britain,
in bondage. We produce tive-sixths of
the total cotton supply of the world.
Therefore, according to the Globe, we
need not build battle ships. So far as
Great Britain is concerned, another war
with her is almost inconccivable. In
addition to her independence on this
country for cotton and an immense
amount of food, we have Canada within
easy reach. In recent years the friendly
ties between the two countries have been
growing stronger all the time. 1t may
be said that both mutual interests and
inclinations are utterly opposed to war.
Nevertheless, in the present state of in
ternational affairs, we are bound to pre-
vent our big stick from becoming weak
err. And to make it retain its present
strength will call for the continuous con-
struction of battle ships.

The Salvation Army.

Gen. William Booth, commander-in-
chief of the Salvation Army, thinks and
speaks like a general. He has demon
strated the possession of great faculties
for organization and execution. His
sympathy with the outcast, the down.
trodden, and the poor is always alive and
practical. His plans for aiding the dere.
licts of society are not confined to any
country. but are as broad as human VICE.
He deals with the depressing, the squat
id, and the discouraging aspects of life,
and manages to infuse into such sur
roundngs the optimism of the Christian
marching through troubles to his ever
lasting reward.
The good that has been accomplished
by the Salvation Army under it's great
general is incalculable. Probably Gen.
Booth himself has no idea of the extent
of the benefits conferred by the army.
The workers in the ranks have the cour-
age of real soldiers, besieging the strong
holds of evil with a perseverance that
never flags. Gen. Booth is now hard at
work developing a plan for diverting
poor city dwellers to small suburban and
rural homes, where they will be able to
make their livings under more healthful
and decent surroundings. He is work
ing in practical way on a problem that
confronts all civilized nations as the re-
suit of the growth of manufacturing at
the expense of agriculture. The world
will watch his work with interest, and
possibly the pioneer efforts of the Saliva
ton Army may lead to sociological legis-
lation in the leading countries. In this
country various plans have been suggest
ed for turning the city hordes "back to
the country" but nothing practical on a
large scale has yet been achieved.
The secret of the Salvation Army's sue
cess may be chat it sticks closely to the
people it serves. 1t is not afraid TO take
dirty hand and lift it up. Its disre-
gard of appearances in trying to help the
unfortunate is nothing short of sublime.
1t actually follows the practice and pre-
cept of the Master. Earnest men of all
religions and of no religion long ago rec
ognized the worth of the Salvation
Army. Perhaps, one of these days, a
Millionaire who may be at his wits end
to discover some method of bestowing a
few millions judiciously, will stumble
upon the fact that the Salvation Army is
an organization that could disburse his
money to Washington Post.
