COTTON CROP REPORT.
President Seymour Says Department
 Falls Into Error.

Montgomery, December 14-(Specal) )- The report of the cotton crop recently made by the department Of agriculture at Washington has aroused more criticism than any ever made so far as Alabama is concerned. W. II. Seymour, statisti- elan of the Alabama department, says he cannot unherstand 1t. "It is difficult to see how it was done,'' he said, without ignoring the ginners' reports as made to the department of commerce and labor, and also ignoring the lessons of experi- ence and observation as taught by former crops.
 T am inclined to think the depart ment of agriculture has fallen into the error of consids srlng tte crop as being two or three Weeks late on December i. because it was two or three weeks late on August l, and did not realize that all the cotton had opened prior to December 1.
 This office has had a check on every report made by the census bureau of cotton gnned in Alabama from the growth of 1907 It would seem that if there is "a state in the cotton belt that should have accurate reports of the amount of cotton gnned, 1t would be this state yet there is disposition on the part of some, who would now de- press the cotton market, to discredit the ginners reports of the entire cotton belt, although the estimate made by the agri- cultural department of the amount of the cotton crop of Alabama is in greater disproportion to the cotton actually ginned than of any other state produc- ing any considerable amount of cotton."

, ther consideration a resolution passed by your body, which extends the time lin- 1t of gas and electric light franchise obtained by T. II. Aldrich and associates This franchise was originally granted April ?, 1903, on payment of $75000. Under the terms work was to begin on January l, 1904, and be completed in two and half years, or June 1, 1906.
 At various regular meetings of your board to-wt
 November IS, 1903, time was extended to July l, 1904; June l, 1904. time was ex- tended to June l, 1905; May 17. 1905, time was extended to June 1, 1906; May 9, 19O6 time was extended to June l, 1907; May 15, 1907, time was extended toAJanu- ary l, 1908: December 4. 1907, time was extended to October 1, 1908.
 At majority of these meetings little notice was taken of the extension. At two or three, however, some opposition was manifested. This opposition was quieted each time by the statement that no further extension would be asked for or eXacted
 I question the propriety of extending this any other franchise from year to year unless the city is paid for it or unless it is revised or unless a guarantee Is given that owners will operate un- der it.
 The clty's specific object in granting this franchise waAto bring into existence competitive lighting plant. After about five years we seem to be as far away from one as before.
 As a matter of fact its very existence may in the past have prevented other advantageous propositions of a similar nature being made.
 If so it has not only caused the city to lose bonuses that might have been picked up, but caused the public to lose those savings that would have come from reduced and competitive rates if the priv ilege had been given to people able to handle the franchise.
 The question therefore arises, why should the city continue to protect a franchise that Is doing no good; that has lost its original vitality and Is now evidently being nursed as a speculative project,
 The council should also consider that while the terms, conditions, etc, of the franchise may have been advantageous in 1903, 1t is a question whether they would now be so considered Conditions have changed: inventions and Improvements in electrical work making far cheaper prices have been made; our population has increased; physical prob lems and mechanical complications have been multiplied in other words a fran

Mobile. December 14.-(Special.) 1.-The Norwegian steamer Mount Vernon, Fal- son, master which has arrived here from Bocas del Toro, Wednesday, came to this port only a few hours late and without a chronometer.

 He made Corn island and used every means of obtaining a chronometer. there for the trip, but without success. In- stead of turning back to Bocas, Captain Falsem used a beautiful watch which was presented to him by his father near ly 50 years ago when lad in far-off Norway. By this means he figured out his bearings and time and reached Mo bile in safety and only few hours late.

Do People Turn Away?

Trial Package To Prove 1t Sent Free.
 Breath perfumes do not strike at the sroot of the evil. They only conceal the odor for a time. But charcoal kills the gas that causes the odor, purifies the food lying in your stomach and intestines, facilitates the process of digestion acts as mild laxative, gives tone to the sys- tenn. in short gives you a clean bill of health. And all the charcoal necessary to obtain these results you can get in a box of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges, price 25 cents.
 The uses of charcoal are many. In art and electricity it is constantly used, bue it is especially valuable where abso- lute purity of product is required. As an absorbent and disinfectant it has no equal. That is why you will inva- riably find it in every water-fiter

chise of the city of Birmingham at the present date should be a proposition tirely different from one made five years ago.
 The proposed rates are about the same those charged by the existing com pany-slghtly lower. But proposed rates do no good, especially while they are up in the air and serving mainly as buffer between possible new concerns that might reduce rates and the old com pany that studily maintains them.
 However if it is deemed best to eX- tend the franchise I recommend that it be revised so as to preserve up to date reg ulations now in force in this city; to provide for underground construction as far as possible, thus relieving our high ways of unnecessary burdens in the shape of wires, poles, etc: that further reduc- tions in price of gas and electricity be made; that a s50O0 forfeit be given as a guarantee that work will be begun and finished within a certain time. Respect fully, GEORGE B. WARD, Mayor.
