Renorts Bad Crop Outlook.

''The farmers and merchants of south ern Alabama and Mississippi arc very gloomy over crop conditions,' said c. c. Winstead travelling man from Winston Salem, N. C.. last night at the Florence hotel T have just been through the southern sections of these states and find that the business and crop outlook Is at a very low ebb. The cotton crop Is con sidered almost a failure. and other crops have suffered almost as much from this exceptionally unreasonable weather we have experienced for three months.
 Many merchants in both states have retrenched in their orders until travelling men have retired from the field in many lines. My business has suffered, but I hear more complaint from others, and know that there Is basis for complaint.
 Few country merchants are placing heavy orders for fall goods, and most of them say they will wait awhile before buying. I have just heard that big merchant in Birmingham the other day cancelled a fall order for $5000 worth Of goods. which is just the attitude taken by the trade in many places south of here These merchants are fearful of cotton crop failure, and will not overload on orders"

From the Denvar r,,,,o.

From the Denver Times.
 N WAY Back in 1876 man named VN Turpin established a restaurant
 in Yuma. and among Turpin's original employees was waiter named Job Straight, who could shoot with great precision, play poker with unvarying suc- cess and pack eighteen plates of miscel- laneous grub upon one bare arm at one time. He could execute all the prevail- Ing melodies either on plano or guitar, and he possessed the most Tremendous baritone voice ever heard in Arizona why men sometimes went to Turpin' s just to hear Job deliver gastronomic or ders. No perfect description can be given of that voice, however, except to say that at times it really did make things chatter.
 Once fresh young cowboy from near Gila Bend entered Turpin's for a Christi mas dinner, took a startling concoction as an appetizer and then dropped thud- like at a table and roughly shouted to Straight:
 Say, there, Baldy; Bring me some grubp'

JOHN R. TYSON, IL. D.

From the Montgomery Journal.
 Howard college has shown wonderfully good judgment in comforting a degree upon Chief Justice John R. Tyson. He is an honor to the citizenship of the state, credit to the bench and jurlst of exceptional ability. His opinions are quoted in the best text books of the land. and he has taken place with the most eminent of the interpreters of the law. The mantle of Stone, Brickell and Mcclellan has fallen upon the shoulders of one who Is every day demonstrating his fitness for 1t. The Journal takes pride in his local citizenship and rejoices that such an institution as historic Howard college has seen fit to so compliment a worthy son.

Fields of Bloom.

.lt is not often that I have an oppor- itunity of travelling far from home,' said a busy man, "but on a recent trip east I saw fields of yellow bloom, not un- like, in general effect, the golden rod. I had never seen such sheets of yellow at this season of the year. l began to observe the mass of golden color before the train reached Irondale and the same masses of yellow greeted my eye In the Tar Heel State and in the Old Dominion. Upon inquiry I learned that the flower which lent such charm to the meadows was borne by the ragweed. Cows feed upon this plant. They eat it ravenously and as 1t is bitter the milk just now Is decidedly bitter.
 "A day or two ago I read letter In a Presbyterian paper, written by com missioner to the general assembly which met here In May. The scenery along the route from Richmond to Birmingham was pictured with a graceful pen. The writer was unmistakably a man of let ters, but he made the same error that I might have fallen into, had l not been familiar with the field flower which comes in the early fall. The good Pres byterian brother described the bloom as that of the golden rod

Sees Dancer Ahead.

'Straws show which way the wind blows, said a thoughtful guest of the Hotel Hillman last night, and to my mind there Is danger ahead for the finan- cial world this year. Legislation has been drastic; climatic conditions are chaotic; railroad retrenchment on a large scale is impending and business conditions are consequently seriously affected.
 sI am not a pessimist. On the other hand l generally take bright view of life but cannot help seeing the clouds that are looming up on our horizon and wish to give warning to those who are not careful of the future.
 An era of unexampled prosperity has long held sway in the United States and has had lasting and benefieent eff feet in the south. Crops have been good, business has been good and we have fattened upon the increase of the land.
 "Now comes the turning point, in the exposure of graft in high places, radi- cal railway and financial legislation, bad crop conditions and an excess of spec ulation. We have had the insurance in vestlgations, railway Investigations and
  way rate laws. All this, combined with adverse financial legislation has put a curb on investment. restrained railway extensions and development of railways and other properties.
 ''The cost of living has increased enor- mously within the past few years and while the demand for labor has generally been greater than the supply and wages have increased, there is much unrest in the country.
 "The railroads feel the effect of pre- vailing conditions very keenly and re- trenchment is the watchword with them. On July 1 fully 100000 railway employees in various branches of the service will be laid off and other retrenchments are planned Railroad stocks are tumbling, while money goes begging in Wall street with no takers for investment purposes.
 "Confidence will be restored with har- vest time, hope, but there Is period of stringency ahead which will have to be bridged.'

Peonaqe In Alabama

The Chicago Record-H Herald dis cusses at length the Robert Ford case and the peonage cases at Lockhart, Ala, and 1t says in conclusion:
 Birmingham fortunately is not content to let the matter rest. and popular pro- tests are vigorous. Permanent improve ment cannot be hoped for, however, until the present system of farming out minor offenders to labor is abandoned Probably the peonage system, both as the cities manage 1t, mainly with negroes for vic- tins, and contractors manage it, mainly with newly arrived foreigners for victims, is similar. The struggle, at any rate should be against both"
 It is not easy to defend the blood hound work at Lockhart, or the whip ping to death of the halfwitted and harmless Robert Ford who had been sent to the coal mines for vagrancy in default of $53, mostly costs. It is not easy to defend either. But the legislature should in all justice and all humanity investigate the two cases. Better still would be request from it to Inspector Shirley Bragg to in vestigate both to the core and to lay his report before the governor and the people of Alabama. We can not afford to ignore either. Let us show the world that there is no desire or inclination here to conceal the truth in the interest of any official or any corporation. The naked truth is de- sired, and the state should furnish it.

TO WIN A WOMAN.
From "The Two Gentlemen of '

From "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" By William Shakespeare. A woman sometimes scorns what best
 contents her. Send her another; never give her o'er; For scorn. at first makes after-love the
 more. If she do frown. tis not in hate of you, But rather to beget more love in you; If she do chide, 'tis not to have you gone, For why, the fools are mad, if left alone, Take no repulse, whatever she doth say, For "get you gone" she doth not mean
