Our Veterans at Richmond

The seventeenth reunion of the Con- federate veterans, which was begun last Thursday, will be ended tomorrow when the statue to Jefferson Davis is unveiled. Beyond all question the re- union at Richmond has been mem- orable occasion. Not even a chilly air and downpours of rain could lessen the enthusiasm of the veterans or of their sons and daughters or of the innumer- able other spectators.
 Close to the battlefelds of Lee marched a large number of veterans, possibly fifteen thousand of them, and it is matter of general congratulation that so many of those who fought for a glorious ideal nearly half century ago should have the strength and the means to go up to Richmond, the his- toric, once more. These heroes will soon, alas, seek the men that followed Lee, not in Virginia, but on fame's eternal camping grounds.
 More and more will the continu- ance of the reunions hereafter be com mitted to the hands of the sons and daughters of the veterans, and they will, we may be sure, maintain them while the memory of the glorious struggle endures. The sons and daughters will go back to the old cap ital, but the veterans themselves will bid goodbye to the sacred soil and a flood of cherished memories when on the morrow they turn their steps southward from the inspiring reunion that witnessed the unveiling of monu- ments to Gen. J. D. B. Stuart and to Jefferson Davis.

DIR. EUGENE A. SMITH,

From the Mobile Register.
 All Alabamians are pleased that Dr. Eugene A. Smith state geologist. and almost lifetime worker in the univer- slty faculty, was selected as specially to be honored on the occasion of giving a name to the first building of the Greater University. Dr. Smiths services for the state have earned for him a national reputation, but he is honored at home as well, and better than that, he is loved by all those who are intimate with him. It was said by wise man of old that no man should be accounted happy until he is dead, and by the same token we should be very careful lest we premature ly pronounce our verdict upon those who are our contemporaries. Nevertheless, the career of pr. Smith abounds in proofs that he is worthy of the high tribute that Is now paid him. and that as the years come he will add lustre to the university. and be more and more iden- tified with its success. Posterity will re- member him quite aside from the monu- mental building that is soon to bear his name, and of which the corner stone was laid last Tuesday, but it Is well that the university shows its appreciation in his lifetime It is an encouragement to other workers, as well as a sign of the institut,ons discriminating judgment

Previous Millers

Wheat is swinging on the dollar corner, sometimes going a trifie above the round price, but oftener falling a bit below it. While wheat has been going up to a dollar the millers have not been idle-no, indeed. They have been exceedingly alert They have marked up the retail price of flour in Chicago to SC a barrel. A month ago 1t was selling at s450 a barrel.
 The millars have outrun the wheat market al laest twenty-five cents a bushel, for four bushels of wheat go into barrel of flour, and dollar wheat does not justify an advance of flour to $6 even at retail in Chicago. Dollar wheat is the proper basis for about l -e dollar flour. The millers are too alert, too previous. They are well or ganized, and they may be able trust fashion to control the market for a season, but they will soon see that all know that dollar wheat is not req sonable basis for S6 flour.

Estimatinu Acreaqe

Even those on the spot and to the manner born and in constant touch with the man behind the plough rarely agree when they estimate acreage. This was shown last week when the New York Commercial undertook to arrive at the acreage in Alabama. It sums up Its one hundred replies rom trustworthy citizens in a statement that the acreage of this state has been decreased nine per cent. But how 1t procures this estimate of reduced production from the replies 1t pup fishes no one can decipher.
 For example, one citizen of Eufaula says the acreage of Barbour is about equal to that of last year, while an other citizen says it Is ten per cent less. One citizen of Selma estimates the acreage of Dallas at one per cent less than that of last year, while an other citizen says 1t is twenty per cent less. One citizen says the acre. age of Butler i5ten per cent greater than that of last year, while another citizen says it is twenty per cent less. The names of excellent men are given, but even the printing of names does not reconcile such differences in esti- mates. And how the Commercial can find an average in widely differing es- inmates is simply beyond comprehen- sion, and probably the science of mathematics. Before accepting any estimates it would perhaps be wiser to await the coming of the govern ment report on Tuesday next, and better still, the effects of two weeks of sunny weather which have been prom ised us by the weather bureau and which are fully due us according to the law of averages Out of the hurly- burly of cold waves some results will come, but the extent of that good can not be measured until beneflcent and reproductive sun has shone two full weeks,

The next Reunion.

"Birmingham's pressing invitation to the Confederate Veterans to hold their next reunion here made it easy for us to capture the prize in lively com petition with several other cities" said a member of the Commercial club. While the crowd will not be as large as that which is now gathered at Richmond, we can count probably, on 15,OOO or 20,O0o.
 Tt is estimated that the number of veterans and other visitors at the Vir- ginia capital total about 6O,00o, but the unveiling of two monuments-J. E. B. Stuart's and Jefferson Davs'-makes the Richmond reunion an extraordinary oc- casion Birmingham is more centrally situated than any other large city in the south and it goes without saying that the reunion will bring the greatest throng ever seen here."
