LESS LUMBER IS GUT
 THAN FOR MANY YEARS

Hattiesburg. Miss, July 27-The lumber mills throughout the piney woods section of Mississippi are cutting less lumber this summer than in any past summer for many years. This Is due to the slump in the market, to the scarcity of labor and 10 the scarcity of cars.
 Although the lumbermen of the states east of here have entered into mutual agreement for the closing down of tho mills during the summer. to save expenses and to reduce the output in order to res lleVe the glut of the market the Mssis- sippi millmen have made no such an agree ment, but at the same time they are clos ing down their mills by individual initia- tive. Nearly all the smaller mills are al together closed down or have reduced their output to a point where they barely keep together the nucleus of their labor forces.
 Secretary D. A. Walker of the Missls- sippi Pine association, commenting upon this voluntary shut down. says "The mills will resume operations as soon as the market shows some improvement. This improvement will come very soon. In fact look for better prices in a couple of

 We magnify the burdens which foreign armies bring on their people, yet the charge to Italy for its army in l915 was $opO0O,0Oo or i5 per cent of the American surplus last year. France pays annually for it's army $l4S,0 GOO, Great Britain $l50OO0,000, and Germany. sl760oo,000 These sums are spent at home for ser vices, commlssarlat, and arms. Our sur plus may be compared with. them in amount but in no other respect for it buys nothing and pays nobody
 Collections in excess of expenditures have become the rule in this country Aside from 1904, when $50 O00 600 was dis bursed on account of the Panama canal deficit has occurred in only one year since this country began and that was 3,004. 72S in 1905. The net surplus since 1900 mounts up to the enormous sum of STA 196.9f9. although within that period large reductions were made in internal revenue.
 The end is not yet. The surplus SD large in the fiscal year just closed con tinues. The growth of population keeps up and carries with 1t large revenues to the government In June the collections and the surplus are on the heaviest scale showing an excess of S21 ,S7S I62, but that is always an exceptional month. In the fiscal year 1908 the receipts promise to outrun the outlay by $l20,000 000. Secretary Shaw s estimate in his annual report was TOT surplus of S5S O00 in 1907; 1t is S2,00o000 more. in the coming months the elasticity will not be less. and will be adequate to offset any changes likely to occur. falling off in business would be without parallel which should reduce the revenues by IS py cent for a year. So that the present Surplus be can ce,ed only by law. The excess Is more likely to increase in volume and in force.

There is no public use to which they can be put The excessl e receipts eongest the treasury and breed strife Sn the part of the banks to get them as deposits
 At a bankers state convention, two or three weeks ago, a general panic was predicted unless the revenues, as a whole. should be paid directly to the banks n- stead of passing through the treasury. as now The argument is that business cannot afford to have It's lifeblood drawn away. Far more obvious Is 1t that the people should keep their own money. and the government extort the least possible amount.

"Monster Eating Into the Earnings
 and Savings of the People"

From the North American Review.
 Has any one n> q to boast that the income of the United States government for the fiscal year just closed was nearly S90 GOO 000 more than the outgo? The pre- Iiminary figures of the treasury are $S6- -- -5, which experts reckon Will be raised to the larger sum by complete re- turns. This is surely immense, over l3 per cent of the total revenue. The net receipts of the government before the civil war were at the greatest Sl4'O56,o9l in 1856 and were only $5l, ,9S7, ,i55 in 1861, or 5o per cent of the present excess. The war of the revolution cost the young republic in specie s135,OOO0oo, which sum the collections above the expenditures will exceed at present rates before the calendar shall record 1908. The second war with Great Britain involved the outlay of s102. .993.153 or the equal of the current surplus for fourteen months The cost of the Mexican war was sl2o,4fi ,4s3' which would be covered by the excess of revenues before December next.

weeks. The slump in the market is not astonishing. We have come to look for something of that sort every summer. but this year It was made more decided by peculiar conditions. And the slump this year came sooner than usual. But the industries which call for lumber in the north and east are just as strong in their demands as usual, so that while the slump came earlier than in the average years. the backward swing of the pendulum will also come earlier. And We expect that the market this fall will be unusually strong. There are two reasons for this. The supply will not be heavy, because of the shut dow of the mills this summer, which leaves the mills without surplus ac- cumulatlons to unload on the market as soon as the demand opens mp. Then again the export trade has been taking a great deal of our output. The export market has kept up remarkably we'll and is i'm proving every day The border mills, those which might ship 10 the coast as easily as To the interior, have taken ad- vantage of this export demand and have thus disposed of big stocks that will not be used to hammer down the interior markets

Strange Adventures
 Of H1felder AIcOCk

"Scotty' Alcock told two good ones yesterday. He was not indulging in tic- tion He was not trying to make his hearers laugh. He was simply recounting facts.
 "Once while covering second" he averred as beginner, "a runners spikes cut an inch strip from my stock ing, leaving it hanging by a single thread. The cut was even and smooth, there be- ing nothing jagged about it, neither at the top nor bottom. No, my leg was not injured at all. The bite of the spikes was just deep enough to cut the stock ing smoothly all round top and bottom, and not breaking the slxn.'
 This was the beginner. Then said he: "once l caught fly ball in Ohio, and attempted to throw the sphere, after catching it, into the air. It went up sev-

 When his hearers gasped, he declared earnestly: "Wilhelms brother hit the fly ball that I caught" Irwin Wilhelm sub stantiated the story.
 Then came Lee Garvin. "Once upon a time the bases were full. A ball was hit to the infield. It was returned to me. It leaped from my init and rolled down my shirt the first button of which was miss ing Continuing It's passage through my shirt 1t passed through my trousers, through my stocking and lodged under my heel Three men scored before I could un- dress.'

Clarence Latimer catcher, will ask for his release Monday. He gave notifica- ton to that effect Saturday morning at 9 o'clock.
 As a reason for his action, Latimer states that he came to Birmingham to work, and that he is dissatisfied be- cause he has had no work to do.
 Edward Ludlow, supervisor of the Pennsylvania railroad, with headquarters in Xenia, O., and wife, father and mother of Mrs. Latimer, are in Birmingham at present. MT. Ludlow wants Latimer to return north with him.
 Now, Latimer has been worked ex- ceedingly little, and Garvin has been

worked overtime. There is some reason for Latimers dissatisfaction. He Is not so much inferior to Garvin that his oc- casional working would have seriously handicapped the Barons.
 Latimer is good fellow, with his heart in the right place. He is a hard worker, and a conscientious ball player. No man on the local team reJoiced more at success than he, and none took de- feat lighter.
 The resignation of Latimer will leave Vaughn in serious hole as concerns catchers. Garvin is the most willing worker in the world, but there Is limit to everything, especially mans endur- ance.
