PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
Tobacco Trade, Copra, Coffee and Rub-
 ber-Mineral Resources.

Washington, June 26.-(Special.) )-In the course of his inquiries into the cotton piece goods trade in the Philippine Is- lands, Special Agent w. A. Graham Clark furnished a report on the general trade agraphs are taken:
 Tobacco is the fourth largest export of the Philippines, while in point of total crop value 1t is only exceeded by hemp and rice. The main tobacco belt is em- braced in Luzon. Cebu and Panay, the famous Cagayan Valley, in Luzon, pro- ducing the bulk of the finer grades. Con- sidered as a manufacture the making of cigars and cigarettes is the largest in- dustry in the islands today. The largest company is the Compania General de To- bacos de F'ilipinos with a capital of some $13, 800 00O but the product of the smaller factories, such as the Germinal Cigar Fac tory, is also well known Most of the export trade is carried on by the first named company. The best class of Phil ippine tobacco rivals that of Cuba. A large quantity goes to China QHongkong), India and Australia with smaller quan- titles to England, the continent and the United States. The export of Manila cigars amounts to very nearly million dollars year, and the quantity consumed in the islands is probably larger In fact, there is such run on each new special brand put out that sufficient time is not given in which thoroughly to cure and manipulate the tobacco and maintain the excellence of the original standard. An American cigar factory in Manila that would maintain the standard of its cigars absolutely would make large profits even in the face of the present competition.
 Cigarettes are also largely manufac- tured, but only s71 ,632 worth were exported last year. There was 1,767, S65 of raw and $1 075, ,639 worth of manufactured tobacco exported in the calendar year 1906 The principal portion of the leaf tobacco eX- ported-from one-half to three-fourths or more-goes to Spain.

Revenue of Montgomery county, and is one of the largest stockholders in the Capital Brewing company, and he is in a position to know whether such a re- port is true. MT Grell however, ad- mitted it was possible that the subject had been preached to a member of the company, Albert Steiner of Atlanta, who is the head of one of the largest brew cries in Atlanta, but If so MT. Steiner had not consulted him so far on the sub ject.
 q confess with the present temperance agitation, I am not averse to selling the brewery. But there is nothing in the re- port that the brewery is in a merger not at present, at least"
 Historic Button.
 Dr. Thomas M. Owen director of the department of archives and history, today received a button which was taken from the coat of Col. Egbert J. Jones, while he was wounded on the battlefield at Bull Run. The button was given to William E. Tabor of Providence, R. l., by Colonel Jones for being kind to him while he was injured.
 The following was the inscription on a card attached to the button: Alabama From a wounded colonels coat on the battle ground at Bull Run, Colonel Jones, July 21, 1861"
 MT. Tabor sent it to the department. The button is one of the make specially used by the Alabama soldiers, and con- tains portion of the old state seal, which was a map of the state displaying the principal rivers
 Colonel Jones was the first colonel of the celebrated Alabama Fourth infantry regiment, and was killed at Manassas. The wife of Colonel Jones was sister of Maj. w H. Echols of Huntsville, and the wife of Senator R. E. Spragins of Huntsville is the niece of Mrs. Jones and the daughter of Major Echols.

STRANGE FLAGS
 ON EXHIBITION Confederate Relics Are Placed
 in Archives PRESENTED BY C. M SIMS Commissioner of Agriculture WiIkin- son Is Preparing to Collect statis-
 tics of the State Ac-
 cording to Law.
PRESENTED BY C. M SIMS

Montgomery, June Especial )-Thom- as w. Sims of Mobile has presented to the state department of archives and his tory two flags or banners which no doubt are of great historical value, although just what they were used for is not de- termined. Both are badly diapidated. and it is not possible to give their history. They are of silk with gold fringe Both are Confederate relics
 Both are of oblong pattern. One is made of three vertical sections, white. blue and white, with a gilt star in the blue and in the center of that full bloom cotton plant. Above the star is Alabama and below it, "The Time Has Come" The other has three horizontal sections, blue, white and blue There seems to be a faded star in the white field. This one is so badly worn it is im- possible to get much out of it.
 Dr. Thomas M. Owen director of the department, is very much interested in the banners, and thinks that their history may be worked out later They have been stored away in a safe place, and will be taken out from to time in order to study out their story. It may be that they were company banners, or it is pos sible that they belonged to some seces- sion organization of the Gulf City in the days before the war.
