New Steel Selling Basis

Although" says the Iron Trade Re-
view, the United States Steel corpol a.
ton has not made any announcement
as to what its policy will be, it is prob
able that after the completion of the
mills at Gary there will be two great
basing points-Pittsburg and Gary-so
that to all points to which shipments
can be made from Gary at lower freight
costs than from Pittsburg materials
will be shipped from the new plant at
the same base prices prevailing at
Pittsburg, with the addition of actual
freight from Gary. We are also of the
opinion that some time, perhaps in the
far distant future, Birmingham will be
a third basing point, and that the
south, as well as the west will not be
compelled to pay Pittsburg prices plus
the freight from that city"
No one in this section of the country
can see why Birmingham should not be
made a basing point in making prices
for steel bars and plates before Gary
is, for Birmingham is making steel and
Gary is not. One is and the other is to
be. Why one should be deprived of
natural advantages while the other is
being constructed is not discussed by
the Iron Trade Review. 1t is content
to accept the Pittsburg price basis, and
not inclined to promote any departure
from it, although it admits that in the
long run steel will have three selling
bases in this ountry-Pittsburg, Gary
and Birmingham.
The Reviews editorial article was
prompted by the facts set forth by
Hugh w. Sanford of Knoxville, Tenn,
in long communication addressed to
the Manufacturers Record. The Re-
view did not republish Mr.. Sanford's
article, but 1t practically admits tnaL
his points are sound, and that in the
long run the Pittsburg price basis will
have at least two associates.

ASiatic Cholera And The Fleet

The Atlantic feet has been coaled
and has steamed away from West AUS
tralia. and is due to arrive at Manila
about October /, where it will meet
the Pacific feet All has gone we'll
with the fleet thus far, but at Manila
the sailors will be exposed to the dam
gers of a cholera epidemic.
The disease is increasing in Manila.
Since the opening of the year 1878
cases have been reported, resulting in
10.S61 deaths. The disease has really
assumed an epidemic form, and if the
sailors of the feet are allowed to su
ashore no precautions as to fruit or
water will be efficacious. Some of the
sailors will certainly contract the dis
ease, and the entire feet would thus
become subject to quarantine at other
ports.
It should be remembered that visits
to Japan and to China are yet to be
made, and stops on the way home to
take on coal and supplies will be in
evitable. ANY outbreak of cholera in
the feet after weeks stay in Manila
bay would mar the entire cruise and
might possibly become disastrous.
What the administration will do in
this matter remains to be determined.
At present it looks as IL the feet would
be permitted to go to Manila, the de-
pendence for safety against the cpl
demic being orders to the men on
board to drink distilled water from the
ships tanks only and cooked fruit.
Japanese sailors might be trusted to
obey such orders, but American sailors
are not amenable to discipline to that
extent. The stay at Manila is indeed
| risk, and the administration should
act cautiously.

Raising Corn In AIaban, a.

w. II. Seymour, president of the Ala
bama division of the Southern Cotton as
ISOLATION, was in Birmingham yesterday.
Il am working on a plan to induce the
farmers of Alabama to raise more corr"
said Mr.. Seymour. This is really the
most important thing in the state for the
future of cotton raising. Our farmers
nuss be convinced that farming is not
profitable so long as they insist on hav-
ing the corn they use shipped in from
other states.
Just now 1 am doing all in my power
of spreading the gospel of Williamson
intensive corn farming. l consider this
the greatest thing that ever happeneu to
the farmers of the south. 1t is a method
whereby the yield of corn ON uplands
can easily be doubled by system of
stunning the growth and forcing the
energy of the plant to be devoted to pro-
ducing ears instead of going to stalk, as
most of it does now. Reports from Ala
bama farmers who have tried the plan are
most encouraging, and if our plans work
out l believe that within five years there
will not be a single bushel of corn
shipped into Alabama

Next MONDAYS Election

Every voter should read the address
of the board of education to the people
of Birmingham. The educational needs
of the city are imperative. We have
outgrown our school houses. Educa-
ton becomes impossible when school
accommodations are lacking. The in
Justice of seating some pupils while
other applicants are perforce turned
away will be apparent to all who read
the address issued by the board of edu-
cation and the officers of the public
school improvement associations. Biz
mingham's reputation is at stake Just
when Greater Birmingham is about to
become fact All should read the ad-
dress before the polls are opened on
Monday next.
Then, too, the nominees of the demo-
cratic primary need a full vote. The
Masterson effort is one of some force,
and the men behind the man from
Walker county base their hopes of sue
cess on the neglect of democratic voters
to go to the polls on election day.
Action at the primary is not this year
sufficient. Capt. Frank P. O'Brien
needs your votes on election day and
so do the democratic candidates for
police commissioners. Do not let the
republicans telegraph on Monday night
news of a victory in the heart Of the
south to all parts Of the country, thus
discouraging the friends of the national
ticket and encouraging the supporters
of Cannon and Crumpacker and Keifer
to stronger efforts.

WHAT A HORSE LIKES.

From the New York Globe.
Not many people know how to pet a
horse from the horses standpoint at any
rate" said a trainer. Every nice-look-
ing horse comes in for a good deal of
petting. Hitch fine horse close to the
curb and you'll find that half the men,
women and children who go by will stop
for minute, say Nice horsey' and give
him an affectionate PAT or two.
1.-THE trouble is they don't pat him in
the right place. If you want to make a
horse think he is going straight to heaven
hitched to a New York cab or delivery
wagon, rub his eyelids. Next to that
form of endearment a horse likes to be
rubbed right up between the ears. In
petting horses most people slight horse
nerve centers. They stroke the horses
nose. While well-bshaved horse will
accept the nasal caress complacently, he
would much prefer that nice, soothing
touch applied to the eyelids. Once in
a while a person comes along who really
does know how to pet a horse. Nine
times out of 10 that man was brought
up in the country among horses and
learned when boy their peculiar ways.

Much Ado About Nothing.
Night Riders In The Cotton Belt

The Farmers union commands the
respect and cooperation of all good
people in the cotton belt, and it cannot
too soon discountenance and put an
end to the lawless proceedings of per-
sons here and there who are endeavor-
ing to intimidate ginners and even
farmers who are marketing this years
crop.
The plan of the lawless is to prevent
ginning of cotton and the marketing of
it below the minimum price established
by the Farmers union at Fort Worth
-12 cents. Owners of gins in Arkan-
sas and Mississippi have been ordered
by night messengers to stop all gin
ming of cotton lest their plants be
burned and farmers going to market
have been stopped on the road and
ordered to take cotton back home.
Their lawless practices should be
summarily nipped in the bud, and the
work of suppressing them should be
done by the Farmers union, for it will
be held responsible by public senti-
ment for them if they are longer main
tanned. The officers of the union should
make known their position in this
matter.
The Farmers union has been pro-
ceeding on a lawful basis. 1t has built
warehouses and is doing its best to
finance the crop so that all farmers
who desire to hold their cotton can
comfortably do so. On this line all
good citizens in the south will come to
their support, but few indeed will sup
port acts of lawlessness conducted in
imitation of the night riders of Ken
lucky. No night riders are needed in
the cotton belt. The Farmers union
has much better plan, and it should
adhere to it while it frowns down all
attempts at night riding.
