Mafchlnn the Crops

All business men are watching every
aspect of the crop situation-the sup
nj the demand, and the crop pros
MEETS for all are factors of the general
business situation. They can make or
mar trade in the coming year.
Not much is to be said at this sea-
son of the year of the supply. Inc
Argentine wheat crop is being moved
freely, the weekly exports being about
$500. 900 bushels. OF the demand not
much can be said concerning textiles
excent that liquidation and readjust-
ment are progressing. There has been
an Improvement in the flour trade, but
concessions are still demanded as
basis for large sales in most lines OF
trade.
The crop outlook is, however, the
best test of affairs. Winter wheat
81 ows up we'll 1t passed safely through
tbe winter. and it will soon face its
insect enemies. Flowing is progress
ing even in the Dominion for spring
wheat. and the acreage is to be IN
creased. The southern farmers are IN
the fields, and corn and cotton plant
ing are the order of the day. The sea-
son has been favorable for planting
that is to say, March has been, be-
cause rainfalls have not been numer-
ous or excessive. During the present
month southern crops will be wei
started and the reports from the corn
and wheat belt are also promising.
Troubles may come later on, but all
crops will probably be favorably
started unless April should prove to be
an unusually wet month.

Strikes In The Coal Fields

The coal contracts in the soft coal
dictricts of all the states north OF Ten
nessee expire today, and no new con-
tracts had at this writing been made
except in central Pennsylvania, and IN
the Indiana block coal district. In the
other soft coal districts 100000 miners
propose to lay down pick and shovel
in the absence of new contracts. About
100000 miners may go out, although
conventions in session at Terre Haute,
Pittsburg and Springfield may lessen
the extent of the strike.
No qlea,ion seems to separate the
miners aid operators The latter are
not ready to make new contracts, and
the miners do not propose to wo"k in
the at sence of a contract. They OBJ
ject to work done at sufferance instead
of under conditions named in black
and white.
A similar Slf1ke OccuffG1 III icJts
just afrcr the acute stage of the panic
of 1898 had beer ended. 1t was fol-
lowed by the Debs outbreak, and be-
tween the two the lcfurn of pubic con-
fidence was delayed, and the after eff
fects of the panic were aggravated.
Unless the sitting conventions limit
the field of the strike it will put an end
to work in the soft coal mines of Ohio,
western Pennsylvania, Missouri, Iowa,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, West Vir-
ginia and Kentucky. The miners in
Alabama, Tennessee and Virginia that
have contracts work under them until
July L. All of the states north of Ten
nessee would be harmed in these
times by widespread strike, and the
hope is still entertained that it will be
averted.

,Columbis, Ga, March 3l-(Special.)-
The Georgia and Alabama Industrial In
dex will say tomorrow in its regular is
sue:
Just exactly 20 new corporations were
formed during the week ending today in
the states of Georgia and Alabama, and
their minimum capital stock aggregates
81 ,394,O00, while the authorized capital of
these companies is well in the millions.
This showing illustrates very clearly the
substantial character of the business and
Industrial revival in this section of the
country.
"A highly encouraging incident of the
week was the announcement that the
Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron COM
pany would issue $5,000,0cO of bonds and
you'd make substantial improvements in
its properties. 1t was officially stated
that the furnaces at Gadsden, Ala, would
II sumo at once and would operate In full
blast.
Among the projected industries men
toned are: Candy factory. Augusta,
Ga; canneries, Americas, Ca, Atlanta,
Ga. and l<londyke, Ga; creamery, Cedar

The Johnston amendment is the best
feature of the Aldrieh bill, and the
House certainly Will hardly strike 1t
out. The amendment does not, how

haps to be driven through by the
weight and force and needs of the re-
publican party in this campaign.

One Hundred Years Old

Bishop Fallows says every person
in this age of germs and hygiene
should live to be a centenarian at
least. Like all seers, the learned
bishop has a fad. His is sour milk.
His plan for prolonging life is not.
however. novel. The Scandinavians
drink sour milk as Americans drink
lemonade. Sour milk is luxury and
delight to the Scandinavian palate.
They are not all centenarians, but it
must be admitted that they are inclined
to be long-lived. Sour milk is eagerly
sought in Persia, Armenia, Thibet and
among other Asiatic peoples, but they
rarely get enough of 1t, and so per-
haps their lives are cut short.
We may be working toward period
when the average life will be 100 years
long, but neither this generation nor
several succeeding ones will see that
time. And when it comes it will be
found that it was the result, not Of
sour milk, but of improvement all
along the line The germs that render
milk sour may be desirable, but they
are not efficient enough to make the
average individual centennarian.
After all, it does not so much mat
ter Each person thinks he is going
to live to be 100 years old, anyway,
and so long as we think so we get out
of life all possible happiness without
any sour milk accompaniment. Bishop
Fallows' panacea is not appetizing
enough to become popular when every
body thinks he is going to celebrate at
least one centenary birthday.

Cash Reserves In the Aidrich Bill

The amended Aldrich bill is still a
bill to provide a panic circulation after
panic has fully arrived, and in that
respect it may take the place filed
after the October panic by clearing
house certificates and circulating
checks. No one claims, not even Mr..
Aldrich himself, that it would do more.
1t presents in no sense a new currency
system in normal times. 1t is simply
a measure to meet and overcome a
panic and to satisfy voters at the
polls next November. There is pre-
cious little good in it, and our entire
banking and currency system will need
reconstruction as much after its pos
sible passage as it does now.

Cuban Sugar and Politics

Last year the Cubans made $500 900
tons of sugar, of which 100000 tons
was sent to the United States. The
shipments to this country from the
island were valued at SCI $4,000, and
it brought happiness and prosperity to
the people who are wards of Uncle
Sam.
But the crop of this year is differ
ent. Some think it may not exceed
100000 tons. The crop outlook is one
of the worst the island has recently
known, and there is a feeling of de-
preston on account of it throughout
the island. And the worst feature of
the Cuban situation consists in the
fact that a short crop in Cuba means
no increase in price, for the price of
sugar is determined by the beet sugar
makers in Europe.
The distress in Cuba will be very
great, so great that no doubt political
disturbances will follow The shrink
age in the growing crop will reduce
the islands revenue fully $25,OO0,000.
and this loss will be felt by ALL 1t
would manifestly be unwise to turn
over the island to the Cubans when
distress prevails, and the belief is gain
ing ground that evacuation will have
to be postponed beyond President
Roosevelts term 1t may never. for
that matter take place.

BYARs HEARING TOMORROW.
Policeman Is Still Held on Charge of
Killing Brother officer.

Policeman J. j. Byars will be given a
preliminary hearing before Judge l. H.
Benners in the first division of the in
ferior court tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock for the purpose of finding if the
evidence is strong enough to warrant the
holding of him on the charge of killing
his brother officer, w. A. Smith.
Byars is at present confined in the
county Jail, having surrendered upon
learning that warrant for his arrest
had been sworn out by the brother of
Smith. Much interest has been manifest
ed in the case and the court room will
probably be packed when the case is
called.
