FoREIGN COTTON GROWERS,

FOREIGN COTTON GROWERS,
 The popular idea of Russia. in Ala bama as well as in other of the United States. is that it is country of snow. grand dukes and anarchists. and yet it is cotton producing country. What Alabama farmer would have thought 1t?
 Russia, according to the latest sta tistics produced e75.o 900 bales of cotton of 800 pounds in 1906. The Russian cop is therefore about one-seventh of the annual cotton yield of Alabma. The cotton is grown along Russia's southern borders. in its Asiatic possess sions. A study of Russian cotton growing methods were material for such a study at hand, would be inter esting, if not instructive, to the Ala bama farmer. Benighted Russia's more benighted neighber. Turkey. is also a cotton country on smaller scale. The oe0 bales a year.
 It Is no surprise to learn that Bra gil is a cotton growing country. The crop of 1906 amounted to 275,00O bales. The aristocratic expatriates who, re- fusing to live on an equality with field negroes, left Alabama, with their slaves as the war closed, are undoubt- edly responsible through their descend ants for q considerable part of the Brazilian crop. To their friends in Montgomery and other parts of Ala bama, those expatristes wrote back that conditions in Brazil were very fa- vorabIe to cotton growing.
 There is more surprise in the an- nouncement that Japan is classed with the cotton growing countries. Japan has been pictured as large customer for American cotton, but it has never been represented as a cotton producing country. Its annual crop, however, is smaller than that of any South Ala hau1a county. The crop last year ou;y amounted to 10000 bales.
 China makes a far better show in cotton growing. The IIragon Emplra with it's teeming population grows an- nually 41s,O00 bales. IL would seem that if the soil and climate were suit able China with it's cheap labor could he a factor in the worlds production of cotton.
 Bit with all this the Southern States has practical monopoly of cotton pro- duction. Its 1s.Ooo.OoO bale crop as sures the continuance of this monop- oly. It has nothing to fear from ln- dia with a crop of s,7Os,Ooo bales or Egypt with an annual production of 100000.

when TeRnysOn Was Rebukcd.

A writer in the current Harper's Weekly brings to light an interesting anecdote of 1ennyson which well illus trates the singular habits of the great laureate in his intercourse with his friends. The poet was not only brusque and rough. but he was domlneering and eXacting, and most other men were afraid of him. But an American school master who for many years main tained a great intimacy with him had no fear in his heart. and sat and smoked on an equality with the sover- eign singer of the Farrtngford ire- side.
 "One evening"" says the writer, when they were thus together. Ten nyson said that he would depart from his custom and narrate a personal ex- perlence; but he had suffered a good deal from repetitions of his tales by those to whom he had told them. and he would be obliged to ask his friend never to repeat what he was about to hear.
 The American smoked on for few seconds while Tennyson waited for the promise and then he said:
 My lord, in my country a gentle man would ner CT make that request of another gentleman
 H.h-m" said tie poet. and looked out of his eyes that wondered if the quiet smoker opposite knew how much he'd said Then he told the story V

 Slow eating will solvo one-half the problem of i'll health. Those who suf- fer already with indigestion and weak stomach can with care and the use of Mi-o-na stomach tablets restore their they can eat what they want at any time without fear of distress or suf- fering.
 After few days use of Mi-o-na stomach tablets. the headache, dizzy feeling. drowsiness. bad taste in the mouth. coated tongue. nervousness, sleeplessness distress after eating--all these symptoms of a weak stomach will disappear, and a perfect digestion and a good skin will show that the vital machinery is once more running smoothly.
 Take little Mi-o-na tablet before each meal so that it will stimulate the digestive juices and give strength to the stomach. and them 1t will take care of the food that is eaten. without indigestion and the unpleasant full feeling with which so many suffer after meals.

FOR ooMmIssroN GOVERNMENT.
New Regime of PrOhlbitlon Call. For

New Regime of Prohibition Calls For a Birmingham Age Herald.
 And since we are to give prohibition a trial 1t Is the more important that Birminghams municipal government should be administered by committee composed of men not only of high char- acter, but of recognized experience ln,l ability in handling difficult financial problems. The city will start the new year with an overdraft of 320,0O0 and the closing of the saloons will mean q loss in the matter of licenses of $1I0,. 900 to $120.000. There must be le- trenchment. O. course. but 1t must be retrenchment with intelligent economy .. Birminghams credit will be temporar- fly strained. but a commission of re- sourcAful citizens should be able to finance "the municipality in a way that would minimize embarrassment and tide over the difficulties in 1909, when the revenues will be increased by taxes collected from the increased as- sessments.
 No matter what may be said in la vor of an Aldermanic Board on general principles, the present emergency de- mands change. The Commission IS the thing A bill providing for such an in- stitutIon should be presented and pass ed at the extraordinary session of the Legislature in November. Let's 'til pull together and do flor Birmingham that which Is best This is no tlIne for qulbbing We have prohibition ana ev- erything should be made to work In harmony with ft
