Cotton ACreaue

The New Orleans Times-Democrat of yesterday morning says the acre. age in cotton shows a decrease of 10 per cent as compared with that of last year. Last year cotton was grown on 32,049,000 acres, and if the Times Democrats figures are correct but 28,- S44000 acres are at present given over to cotton growing. This Is the small est acreage since the season of 192 The big crop of 1904 was grown on 31,73O,371 acres. Heretofore a crop of 100000 bales has never been grown on less than 29,00O,OOO acres.
 The bears are still saying that a fair crop of 12,000, 900 bales Is possi- ble. But an outturn of that propor- ton calls for the best of weather this summer and for late frost and little rain in the fall months. Their ex- pectations may be met, but the chances that they will not be are at least nine out of ten. A crop of Ill., 100000 bales or less means high priced cotton. It means 15-cent cot ton, for the world now wants about thirteen million bales of American cotton a year.

Cocktails in Alabama

Tt Is the general understanding" says the Montgomery Times. "that the present plans of the Alabama re- publicans embrace the indorsement of President Roosevelt for third term, with Vice President Fairbanks as second choice" By the words "the Alabama republicans" the Times means the Scott-Thompson machine. The Davidson-Aldrich combine is a horse of another color.
 This means that the vote of the state in the convention is to be cast for the hero of forty cocktails. He is under fire from the temperance folks and a considerable bunch of Method ists. but this will cause no change in the Alabama programme. A machine is a machine, especially a machine that has few voters behind it, and not even the shadow of an electoral vote. The vote of this state in the republi- can national convention will, there- fore. be cast for Charles Warren Fair banks, a reactionary from the head of Reaction creek, and the dispenser of cocktails-real Manhattans-at l presidential luncheon in Indianapolis.
 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink" says the Bible. At Indianapolis It was strong drink, and at least one of those <ssrks went down the strenuous throat of the head of the nation. But the Scott-Thomp- son machine does not mind a small matter like that.
 One excited clergyman has declared, however, that the cocktail incident should put the elongated Fairbanks out of the running. The issue Is a heated one In some states, but not in Alabama, where party bosses keep their hands on the party lever and all the official patronage they can reach. It may, therefore, be assumed without risk of mistake that the state delegation to the republican national convention will vote for Fairbanks and forty cocktails with cherries in | them.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
From an Old Citizen.

The Age-Herald has received a letter from MT G. A. schele, dated at Skill ingaryd, Sweden, addressed to the editor of the Birmingham Age" extracts from which will no doubt be interesting to the older settlers of Birmingham.
 "It Is not to be expected" writes Mir Schele, that you are the same gentleman who was editor of the Age twenty-two years ago or so, when I had the pleasure to have my office on the same fiat as your paper. opposite the Florence Hotel on Second street, In Birmingham. Even If you are the same 1t would be unrea- sonable to expect you to remember me as Schele, of Schele & Wilson, engineers and surveyors, who went to Central Africa and for a short time was honored by be- Ing your correspondent
 My desire Is to return to Birmingham provided I could find engagement in my profession, that is to re-establish a sur- veyor's office there or in any part of Alamaba where there is an opening. Years must have changed things pretty much. My old partner Wilson is dead, I know. If any of the Sloss people are about please remember me to them If convenient"

Files and Disease,

'The old-fashioned notion that flies are necessary scavengers has faded away be- fore modern ideas and investigation" said the physician.
 Tt is true that in many places where there Is not the proper provision for cleanliness there is a work for these pests that is to say, in rural places; but 1t is well established fact that the house fly Is the purveyor and dispenser of typhoid and other diseases that are communicat- ed either through the mouth or by a bite. In Chattanooga while the troops were stationed there the epidemic of typhoid fever was traced to the fly clear ly. The trail of this disease spreader where he had touched the lime used to disinfect was distinctly traced over food and other matter that the fly happened to touch.
 All meats should be thoroughly wash ed and cooked before using, as butchers cannot with all care prevent the touch of the pests to a limited degree in any event.
 Milk Is another medium of transmits sion. being what is known as a benign soil for the propagation of the typhoid germ.'

Iinaoism Here and in Japan

The New York Herald, lacking any other sensation, has become the chief lingo paper of this country. It de- mands that the sixteen available bat tleships of the country be sent, not to orr mainland Pacific coast via Cape Horn, but to Manila via the Suez canal. It Is endeavoring to fire the national heart wholly regardless of the width of the sea that rolls be- tween this country and Manila, and of the proximity of Manila to Japan. Wars nowadays are no longer dynas- tic, and the Herald is proceeding on a lingo line calculated to bring on a war between the United States and Japan.
 But there will be no war. The iingoes can not bring one on, chiefly because of a lack of bases and the width of the Pacific ocean. The Her aid on this side and the Nichi Nichi on the other are doing their worst, however, and they are creating some feeling between two countries that have been friendly fifty years, and that will remain friendly despite the jingo propaganda on both sides of the Pacific.
 Our chief weakness In case of war would be the Philippines. A high mill itary officer writes to the Chicago News concerning conditions in the Philippines, as follows
 Peace is kept in these islands only by the number of Yoops that we have. To take troops away from two-thirds of the islands-namely, the Visayas, Mindanao and Suu--would cause all sorts of trouble. All over the islands there is unrest of the worst kind. The taos or peasants, who are ignorant beyond any conception that our people at home have of them are being stirred up by the political agi- tators of but little more intelligence than the peasants. but with the gift of Gah.

RUSSIA HOPES FOR
 ANOTHER BIG WAR

St. Petersburg, July S-A dispatch to the official news agency from Tokio says that Baron Goto, the Japanese imperial commissioner, ascrlbes the unfavorable attitude of the foreign press toward Jap anese procedure in ManchKuria mostly to prejudice, but he recognizes that the roughshod methods of the Japanese sol diers Is also responsible for the critl- cism. The baron promises that the civil ian management of the railway will aLay the feeling of dissatisfaction and recent ly he sent circular to the railway off, eals urging them to strive to conclliate foreigners.
 The Novoe Vremya today, commenting on the experience of Russian shippers, confirms the reports that the Japanese deny the full use of the railways and cus- toms for foreign goods. adding
 The Japanese by fair or foul means are pushing their own merchandise, even wfnking at contraband."
 The Novoe Vremya expresses delight at the present state of the relations be- tween Japan and the United States It says 1t hopes for the worst, states that the controversy over minor happenings In California Is "a mere blind" asserts that Japan Is ambitious to control the trade of the Pacific by the quasi door and adds that she is representing her. self as being on the injured side,

pelled to take the reports of their joint committees as sufficient if not conclusive.
 Then will come up a string of im- portant bills, at the head of which stands the bill to repeal the foreign tax loan. Governor Conner has re- faxed his opposition to repeal, but he is opposed to the Gunnells bill, a measure of deep importance drawn to give the rural public schools compe- tent supervision. Governor Conner also demands the passage of the ex- cess-baggage bill, and the reciprocal demurrage bill. The Greater Birming- ham bil will seek hearing, at first in the house. The employers liability bill also come up, and also the anti lobby bill, and the Sunday freight bill. More temperance legislation is de- handed.
 The submission of constitutional amendment relating to biennial ses- sions should be considered, and 1t would be if a ring had not formed to keep the hands of the people off the constitution of 1903 which is now de- clared to be sacred. The framers of the instrument did not so regard it. They invited amendments, and a ref erendum is but confidence in the peo- pie in the transaction of their own business. But whether the Legislators trust or refuse to trust the people they will find plenty of local bills to keep them busy up to September at any rate. This fact alone demonstrates the need of biennial sessions. Ala bama alone has quadrennial sessions, and they have proven to be a clog On the development of the state.

Boys Who Want Work.

You would be surprised" said Man ager John B. Floyd of the Southern States Life Insurance company. Of the number of school boys who apply daily to this and other business offices of this city for holiday jobs.
 "The motive is, of course, commendable and the general idea should be to treat these applicants politely. They possess the real Birmingham spirit; are full of energy and determination, but temporary employment is hard to attain. The ap- prentice system is in vogue throughout the land. The school room Is. or should be, the initiative and vacation Is really a time for play and for home work and recreation. The boy who cannot af- ford school privileges should be first con- sdered and yet I do rejoice in that splen- did ambition on the part of Birmingham boys to do the best they can for them selves
 Today. for instance, I saw a splendid white boy, strong and vigorous acting as a water boy for .the negroes at work on the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company's extension of its gas mains. He was strong and apt and upon inquiry I learned that he was receiving fifty cents per day $500 per week., for his work. He looked willing and dellgent and I thought to myself that one of these days this boy would be command ing the force, and if he continues at school, will probably go much higher than director of common labor.'

THE POET IN THE CLOUD.

By Samuel Taylor Coleridge. O. it is pleasant, with a heart at ease, Just after sunset, or by moonlight
 skies, To make the shifting clouds be what you
 please
 Or let the easily persuaded eyes own each quaint likeness issuing from
 the mold Of friends fancy; or with head bent
 low And cheek aslant see rivers flow with
 gold
 'Twixt crimson banks; and then, a
 traveller go From mount to mount through Cloud
 land, gorgeous land! Or listening to the tide, with closed
 sight Be that blind bard that on the Chian By those deep sounds possessed with
 inward sight, Beheld the Iliad and the Odyssee ldse to the swelling of the voicefu sea.

SMART SETS NEW CAPER

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 the cotton belt, hiding his kinkey hair beneath wig was a favorite of the New York four hundred for several years, passing for the grandson of not ed Apache chieftain. Would such fraud have been possible in any other American city? Assuredly the cultured classes In the south would be able to distinguish bewteen the red man and the black. New York is notoriously providential and ill., informed as to men and events and condi- tions in the vasty wilds of the unexplored portion of the United States lying west of Hoboken, but 1t Is hardly believable that the average New Yorker could be imposed upon for number of years by negro with a wig. The Smart Set is an aristoc- racy of dollars and not of brains. Ap- parently it is not even equipped with good monocles and lorgenettes, since a seal brown brother from the south and a plains Indian look alike to those within the magic circle that hedges the 400 from a vulgar world.
 The exposure of Prince Anthony re- calls that a little while ago a young man once widely known in the amusement world as "The Human Snake" basked in the sunlight of the smiles of ladies of the 4OO and if the tongue of gossip IS truthful, was about to elope with wealthy widow, when the newsmongers delved into his picturesque past and caused his house of cards to tumble into nothngness

RroMnson's New Post.

Seoul, Korea, July S.-At meeting of the cabinet ministers in the pres ence of the Emperor last night, the former raised the question of the course of authority under which the Korean deputation to The Hague was acting. The Emperor at first pleaded ignorance, but finally gave an evasive answer and ordered the ministers to explain the matter to the Japanese in such a manner as to appease their anger. A committee was appointed to superintend the imperial outlay and prevent any further alleged illegal dis bursements, which have frequently occurred.

with the idea that the Japanese are com ing into the islands to play the part here that we played in Cuba. We hear of organized bodies in many different places. The Agipayans who follow the leader ship of the Filipino pope Agl>Say os- tensibly only for the purposes of religion, are in reality insurrectionists, and in their parades have been seen carrying the Katipunan flags, which are the smybos of insurrection.
 Tt seems a pity that more use is not made of the Catholic church. The white priests, bishops and others can be trust ed, while the native priests cannot be trusted in any way by the government or it's representatives. It is very unfortu- nate thing that the administration feels that it Is necessary to establish the as- sembly at this time, as the agitaors, who are bu few in number, and the so-called political leaders represent such a small part of the population and a very limited amount of intelligence.
 However, we of the army have nothing to do with that and have only to be pre- pared to put down insurrection when 1t comes. The service in the Philippines Is very popular with the enlisted men and over half the officers prefer it to home service"
 This condition is not only unconsti- tutional, but it Is un-American. We are holding subject ten millions of people who are restiye under military rule. Is 1t best to do this especially when in the act we are nursing a weakness in war that would be deep [ ly regrettable.
 Has not the time about come, in short, to unload the Philippine gold brick? It can assuredly be done and the immigration problem be settled all at one whack. But the administra- ton seems to prefer jingoism and ru- mors of war, and colonial dependen- cies, and the entire question will per haps drift along until the campaign of 1908 comes round, when 1t may become a live wire in the minds of 1 those voters who have horse sense.

 During the cholera epidemic here In Birmingham years agoS man named Chambers died. The body was prepared and bandage was tied around the face under the chin to close the mouth. About three hours thereafter the corpse jumped into sitting posture, snatched off the bandage and fell back outstretched again. Some persons said 1t was muscular"

He defended his position on the sixteenth section case with reference to the distribution of Mississippi school funds. He made a good impression.

St. Bernard.

The Rev. Father Lawrence, o. S. B., a member of the faculty of St. Bernard college, is spending this week at St. Paurs rectory. Birmingham.
 "St. Bernard seems to grow in popu- larity every year." said Father Lawrence. We had about as many students last year as we could accommodate, and most of the southern states were well repre- sented. We had quite a number of boys from Birmingham. The college Is To- cated about a mile from the town of Cullman and there Is no more salubrlouS place In the country. From the present outlook the student body next fall will be as large and as select as that of the term just ended, and nothing more could be desired"

Hot Weather Good.

In the eastern part of the state, and even in Central Ala bama, the crop is pretty clean and gen. erally in good shope. Corn is only lacking a little rain to bring 1t through to full maturity"

Englishmen whom she had met before did not raise their hats to her in the street, until the explanation came that she expected to do 1t of their own accord by the German rule instead of waiting for her to recognize them first by the English. The differences of national eti- quiette are great pitfalls. A converse case was that of an Englishman staying in a German town who accompanied his hosts wife to a concert. Walking home, he gave her the inside of the pavement, according to English manners; but the host, who happened to see this, was rem dered painfully suspicious by this unfa- miliar attention"
