CREW OF BARGE
 DIE LIKE HEROES

Providence, R. l., January 27-In their last attempt to save the crew of the tug M. E. Scully from death by drowning. four men and two women perished off Delaware breakwater last Saturday morning, when the barge Whiteband, from Newport News for this city, sank during the terrible gale which swept the coast The story of the loss of the Whiteband and her crew was told by Capt Henry w. Gregg, of the Scully, when the tug Jersey in tow.
 The Scully, bound from Newport News Tor Providence, with the barges White band and New Jersey, both coal laden, in tow, when off Delaware breakwater Fri day night, ran into a terrific northwest gale. The New Jerseys crew cut the hawser and anchored, while the Scully hove to, with the Whiteband still fastened to the hawser. Owing to snow it was im- possible to see more than few feet or to communicate with the barge. During the night the captain of the Scully felt the hawser part and examination showed that it had been cut on the Whiteband's s end of the line.
 It is believed on board the Scully that when the crew of the Whiteband knew their craft was sinking they deliberately cut the hawser to save the Scully from being dragged beneath the sea. When the Scully finally was able to proceed to sea again, she found a lot of wreckage which was positively identified as belong ing to the Whiteband.

Meetlnu of the State Committee

The meeting of the state democratic executive committee, at Montgomery on February ', will start the various campaigns of the year. A President IS to be elected, nine Congressman, two Justices of the supreme court, presl- dent of the railroad commission, and a wide variety of county and munich pal officers. Although no governor or legislature is to be chosen, yet it is political year of far-reaching import ance. The battle for the government of the many by the many enters into it, and the maintenance of the battle largely depends upon the political out come of the present year.
 The chief interest in the meeting of the state committee relates no doubt to the extent it will go in hold ing fast to the primary principal. The last state convention committed the democracy of the state to the primary system, and the democrats of Alabama are waiting to see how far the state committee will confer upon them polit- ical power.
 The need of a platform in year when no governor or state legislature is to be selected is not pressingly great. Denver will supply all the plat form we need. Other countries have no campaign platforms-no party plat forms of the formal American soA. IThere is scarcely any piece of political humbuggery equal to that of the aver age political platform, and the entire business could be eliminated without harm to the party, the state or the people. It is a custom more honored in the breach than in the observance.

of election as MT. Bryan has; and this paper certainly would not favor any effort to substitute any democrat for him. Let us, for once at least, all come together and show what the party can do."
 This very fairly presents the situa- ton in the democratic party in this state. All shades of opinion in the party are coming together, and tile state that first speaks in roll call at Denver will cast solid vote for MT. Bryan. Those who prefer this man or that are rapidly coming to see "the utter futility," to use the Registers words, of considering any one but Bryan as the probable nominee of the democratic convention"
 The truth is, reactionaries are out of date even in the republican party. If they are out of fashion in the pluto cratic party they certainly are in the democratic party, of the country. The republicans know that if they nomi- nate a reactionary he would be over whelmed at the ballot box. If the dem ocrats, who now constitute the party of real progress and the country's hope, should nominate Ryan-Haryey reactionary the race would simply be farcical. Neither party proposes to put out a reactionary, and this is why all democrats are rallying to the sup port of William Jennings Bryan.

Railway Earnings In the South

Gross railway earnings have long been considered an excellent barome- ter of general business, and the re- turns from the railroads for November point to a recovery all along the busi- ness line. There are fewer decreases, and the totals show gains over those of November, 1906.
 So much has been said about the losses in railway traffic it is satisfac- tion to know that in November the rail- roads earned $134,00O,000, as against earnings of $129,0O0,0OO in November, 1906. So long as the gross receipts of the railroads continue to increase, or become blue over the condition of bus mess in this country. The railroads in the south, not including those in the southwest, earned in November last $22 ,122, ,000. One year before their gross earnings were $21,S14,000. The in- crease was not large. It was not, how ever, a decrease. Gross earnings did show decreases in December on some railroads, but full returns are not yet at hand. The roads that did poorly in December are reporting better earn ings in January. The general impress sion is that the tide turned about Christmas time, and that the country has since been regaining normal con ditions The pace may not be rapid, but it is in the right direction.
 It is gratifying to read that the gross receipts of the Southern railway are holding up reasonably well. This is the chief system of the southeast, and it has become the. leader in the effort to establish equal rates and to settle the tnire rate problem. The best hopes of the business south are bound up in it's prosperity, and it is holding it's own pretty we'll in gross receipts. No doubt the plans of the management will soon put it's net receipts also on satisfactory footing.

No Opposition In Alabama

The Ryan-Harvey syndicate which Is endeavoring to defeat MT. Bryan at Denver gets no encouragement from the Mobile Register. which onco op- posed the Nebraskan. "It is too late,' says the Register, "to talk of another candidate. If there are persons who doubt this, let them note what kin! of reception was given Craiger's call, which was only suspected of being anti-Bryan. The uranimity with which the call was declined shows what sor.. of treatment woul5 be given a real anti-Bryan movement. The Register
 does not believe any democrat itIcould now name would have as good chance

Industrial Revival,

"The only furnaces shut down in December that have resumed operations are the Alabama Consoli- dated.s two at Ironaton, but it is prob able that two or three others will be started up soon.
 Idle stacks in the east are gradual " being blown in. Two big furnaces at Pottsville, Pa., and other important industries there resumed work this week. Something like 5OOO0 men who had been out of employment in the Pottsyille region since the holidays are again earning wages. Industrial life is now in evidence all along the line and by spring activity will be even more marked"

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Southern Furniture Center.

High Point, N. C., is the most im- portant woodworking town in the south and it is destined to be one of the largest cities in the Tar Heel State,' remark ed a commercial traveller. "Its leading industry is the manufacture of furniture. It has a score or more of furniture fac tories and the product of these plants IS shipped far and wide. High Point has a good trade in Birmingham and all through this part of the country. Twen- ty years ago the town had a population or less than 20Oo Today it's population is close to 10000
 Nearly all the capital employed in the furniture industry there was raised at home. The development of the busi- ness has been rapid and I know of few better examples of southern enterprise than one finds in looking over High Point"

Washington, January 27.-Sena tor Culberson of Texas today again in- quired of the Vice President whether the Secretary of the Treasury had re- piled to the Senate resolution calling for information concerning the recent issue of Panama canal bonds. The Vice President stated that no reply had been received.
 Tn view of the statements in the newspapers" said MT. Culberson, that we will soon have from the committee on finance g. report on currency meas ure, we should be in possession of the information called for by the Senate resolution before that report is made. It seems to me there has been ample time for the secretary to answer this resolution and that the delay is un- favorable because we are unable to have the facts needed before the re- port is made"

"Easy Money"

Money is becoming a drug in the New York market to say the least. The associated banks held last Satur- day s37,O00,OO0 more than the legal tender requirement. Time money fell to 4 per cent, and call money was loaned at IA per cent. The latter almost went a-begging.
 brought about by the addition of hoarded cash to the $100,000OO0 of imported gold. $7OoOO,OOO of treasury cash and $80,OO0,0Oo of new bank notes. No wonder the money supply is ex- cessive in the chief money center of the country. Besides the flow of money from the interior the New York banks still feel the additions of local funds which were kept during the panic in safe deposit vaults and in "any old place." The hoarding Is ended, and New York is now confronted by col lapse in loaning rates.
 How soon this condition in the money centers will lead to larger loans in the interior-to cities that need municipal mprovements-to in dividuals or corporations for develop rnent purposes-to railroads that need greater facilities, it Is difficult to say, but tlfe man who goes to the money centers loaded with good collateral will not have to wait long. The limit of accumulation in New York has by no means been reached, and the hour for fixed investments has not come. It will come, but it will not come in a long time to the city or the individual who does not deserve it. It is the man behind good collateral who will break through the prevailing caution and set in action the forces of accommodating capital.

More City Revenue Needed

The increase in licenses together with the road and bridge tax would not make good the loss that prohibit ton has brought in the city's revenue. But if those additions be reinforced by a street tax it is thought the city could maintain a reasonable degree of improvements, and yet make both ends meet at the end of the calendar year.
 It would be unfortunate indeed if a prosperous and widely-known city should be crippled in it's work for an entire year. It would be still more unfortunate if it should encounter in these days of caution a serious deficit.
 A street tax would be borne by 10,- 900 people, whereas any other form of increased taxation would fall on one-tenth of that number. It, there fore, seems but reasonable that the aldermen should have the courage to maintain the street tax feature in financing the city. The task is an important one, and there should be no politics in it. In matter of revenue that involves the welfare and pride and well being and even sanitation of the city the highest patriotism is de- manded. Mayor Wards veto should be handled in business way on busi- ness principles and all politics should be barred when it is taken up.

Thieves Do Their Work Under the

New Orleans, January. '27.-The post office officials announced today that II parcels of registered mail were secured last night by the two daring robbers who attacked a United States mail wagon in the down town district. The loss so far accounted for is only $25, and the postoffice inspectors say they believe the total will prove to be small.
 Rlhing the malls within about block of a police station, the robbers worked hurriedly and apparently overlooked the most valuable portions of the mail Nine of the missing registered parcels were en route to points other than New Orleans. The police say they have as yet no clue to the identity of the rob bers.
