Carolinian's fist shot out and took the
man on the nose, and before the latter
had recovered from his surprise Mr..
Werner had landed two or three other
hard blows.
The conductor interfered, and as a
crowd collected one of Broadway's

hand on Mr.. verner's shoulder. AT the

Besides the 100000 expected by Tax

half of this year, up to $750,000, or at

POSITION Of THE
TERRITORY'S FINANCES

On Tuesday last the amount of money
IN the hands of the Treasurer of this
Territory was 100000 and an add
tional 100000 was expected from the
other islands during the week, so that
the total funds to the credit of the
Territory, on Saturday next, will prob
ably be slightly more than $1,000. 600
This can only pass into circulation
gradually through the ordinary chan
nels of Territorial disbursements. Sala-
ries will be payable next week and this
will tend to help the local financial
situation. Otherwise there is no extra
ordinary opportunity for the return of
this large sum into the ordinary chan
nels of trade. 1t is probable that Audi
tor Fisher Will see his way to make an
additional payment to the counties dur
ing the month of June, giving them

Reform Needed at Home

City Physician Hayes shows in his
annual report for the calendar year
1906 that we need not hunt down rural
jails when We desire to eXpend sym
pathy upon the unfortunate, or when
we desire to denounce officials for poor
administrations. For it seems that we
have in our midst-yes, that's the
phrase-in our midst Jail that is con-
gested with prisoners, and 1t is also
congested with conditions mot unlike
Neutrality-suspicious. that are Gin
human in the extreme, and that should
not be tolerated in civilized communi-
ties" He refers to the Southside mu-
nicipal jail That Jail has no place in
which prisoners can battle, and no pro-
vision for the washing of clothes. Pris-
oners, he says, sometimes wear one
shirt a year without change to and
from a washtub.
Such Jail must necessarily breed
disease. The Northside jail is reported
in better condition than it was In 1905,
but even now it is not commended by
DIR. Hayes as at all ideal. Until our
city jails are rendered decent, or at
any rate halfway decent, we should
not hunt the state over to find rural
jails to vent our spleen upon. Let
CHARITY begin at home, especially in
the Southside city jail. There is plenty

In The HipnOdrome Today

This town is filing up rapidly. Cot
ton men are coming In on every train
to discuss every phase and feature of
cotton growing and cotton marketing.
At 10 o'clock this morning in the
Hippodrome the third annual conven-
ton of the Southern Cotton association
will be called to order, and the pros
pect is that the great hall will be filled
to repletion. All are invited.
The convention will sit three days,
and in its sessions the cost of produc-
ing cotton, the manner of marketing
and financing the crop, the price prob
lem, immigration, the evils of specula-
ton in cotton, the modern cotton ware
house, and the inevitable middleman,
will each and all be discussed by com
petent and practical speakers who will
be terse rather than eloquent. Other
important questions will come up, in
Guiding the election of officers and the
selection of a permanent headquarters.
1t is plain that the Southern Cotton
association is representative body.
1t represents growers and those who
handle cotton as perhaps no prior Or
ganization ever succeeded in doing.
This is why the proceedings of the ses-
sions that will be begun today will be
closely watched. The entire cotton in
dustry will turn an attentive ear.
Birmingham warmly welcomes the
delegates and all their friends. Let
us hope the good weather will tarry
until Saturday night, thus aiding each
and every delegatae to go about this
district freely and enabling them to see
what we have here and also perhaps
what we expect to add in the next
three years. This city is at the very
heart of the cotton belt. Whatever is
accomplished here will be felt in every
cotton state.
