Looking Ahead to 1910

The frequent mention of the name of Col. H. s. D. Mallory in connection with the gubernatorial nomination, and his partial obedience to the desires of his friends really gives form to the cam paign of 1910 two full years in advance. When the time comes for a formal an- nouncement of his candidature no doubt he will find supporters in every county. His well-known equipment for the duties of chief executive of the state: his high character and his long and efficient service in the democratic party will gather round him in every county earnest partisans. Perhaps no man in the state has more personal friends. He is an excellent lawyer of rare mental poise. and all public ques- tions would be handled by him, if he were elected governor, intelligently and justly.
 The race is not yet made up. There will be other entries, but in general interest none of them will outrank Selma's favorite son. That town seems to be the natural home of statesmen, and as a rule they become honored leaders in the state. Colonel Mallory may perhaps be destined to renew Selma's distinction in this respect It is plain at any rate that he will in good for governor.

Our New Sound Money Party

Out of fear of a stringent money furry as November approaches the re- publicans have passed in the House a political emergency bill that outdoes the populists in their widest dreams. Under it's provisions ten uniting banks with a minimum capital of s5,000,000 can form an association, and that as- sociation can by depositing securities with the treasury of the United States draw out new circulation galore.
 Must the securities consist of state, county or city bonds? No, indeed. The securities that will be deposited will consist of warehouse receipts, or the 90-day drafts of mule shippers, or lsome other form of commercial paper. It is a scheme to put upon the country a currency based on any commercial paper that one of the new currency as-
 
 the government is to issue an assets currency. It is a sub-treasury scheme resting on any paper bank may see fit to hand up.
 Will such a currency substitute con- fidence for distrust in trying period? Will it attract or repel depositors ? Will 1t mend or overstrain conditions if an emergency should arise? And yet this scheme is to be thrust upon the people in political emergency without opportunity to study or to dis cuss it. This is what the republican party has come to in a trying hour. This makeshift Is all it has to offer a country troubled and vexed by an in efficient currency system.

Rlrmlnnham as a City.

q have read with interest and gratl- fication the complimentary remarks about Birmingham made from time to time by prominent visitors who come from New York, Chicago and other great cities, said Maj. E. T. Taliaferro.
 of such enthusiastic comments as those to which I refer came only from persons who are in the habit of talking at random or indiscriminately, l would not be impressed with their roseate words; but within the past two or three years famous men by the score who hail from metropolitan centers and who have travelled extensively. have marveled at Birmingham as a city.
 Now while every well-informed citizen must appreciate the fact that the busi- ness section of Birmingham is well-built and compares favorably with the business districts of other cities of about the same size as ours, and that the raw ma terial resources of the Birmingham dis trict are rich and practically inexhausti- ble, the thing that especially charms the stranger is Birminghams advantage in the matter of natural scenery. High land avenue and the Country Club, and Glen Iris, Mountain Terrace and Nor wood, to say nothing of other enchanting residence sections combine to make vis- itors open their eyes in wonder. They had heard much of Birmingham, but it had never occurred to these men that we had here the city beautiful as well as a pulsating industrial center.

New York Not a Cotton Market

Congressman Burleson recently pre- sented some facts on the floor of the House gathered from New York sources, all going to show that New York is no longer cotton market. Twenty years ago it received about 150,000 bales a year, but the amount has dwindled until in the last cotton year it received but 23,000 bales out of crop that aggregated 13,54O, 900 bales. It does not rank up to county town in Alabama in net receipts. It's spot sales last year were but 11S,O0O bales all told, and these were based on 23,UO0 bales actually received.
 These facts explain why it is en. 0eavoring to regain its position in the cotton trade by establishing chain of certificated warehouses in the south but it stands too discredited in the cotton belt to gain deliveries of that sort against it's kind of contracts.
 It's contracts, we're based last year

Taylor for the Mobile and Ohio. Hun dreds of representative citizens were present at the station to greet the vis- iting officials and from the spontan- eous demonstration it was evident that the entrance of the new lines was thor oughly valued. Last night banquet was given in honor of the two rail roads and their respective representa- tives and all the speeches at the social board had the true ring.
 As a railroad center Birmingham has been gaining steadily and now with two additional lines and one more to be completed this year it surpasses in this respect all other southern cities. Yesterday was indeed a red letter day for Birmingham. Its commanding po- sition in the industrial world was stressed and it's splendid future was brilliantly outlined As great as is the present gain for this district the railroad companies are to be also great gathers. Their respective officials feel that the expenditures to reach Birming- ham were fully justified and that the benefit to, accrue will be mutual. op- timism was in the air and the note of cheer and good will uttered by eloquent tongues made all realize that dark days were behind and that returning prosperity was already in sight. The coming of the Illinois Central and the Mobile and Ohio could not have been observed more auspiciously.

Goods Roads Movement.

"Senator-J, W. Overton is sch heduled to make an address on good roads at Camp Hill today and I understand that he had a large audience and one that was keenly appreciative," said D. M. Drennen yesterday.
 Senator Overton announced several days ago that he would make use of this occasion to launch the campaign in the state for the proposed amendment to the constitution allowing the state to engage in internal improvements.
 MT. Overton introduced and secured the passage of the resolution at the re- cent session of the legislature and Is very much interested in it's ratification by the voters in the next general elec- tion when the people will vote for or against the amendment.
 Tt has been proposed that the nor ey received from the hire of con- victs be appropriated In the building of good roads.
 "Ihe ratification of the constitutional amendment proposition does not neces- sally imply that the legislature wilt use the convict fund as has been pro | posed, but gives that body the right to make any appropriation that may ha found most practicable for road build ing.
 State aid for read building las leon tried by several of the eastern and western states and in every in stance has brought good results aud has found popular favor with the peo pc. Alabama is hampered by a con- stitutional restriction and the legisla- ture should oe freed of this obstacle.
 An extensive campaign will be made in the state between now and the gem eral election and it is believed that the people will ratify the proposed amend lnent"

MIR. MooRE,s SHIRTS.

From the New York World.
 . The whole nation is interested in the the conservation of J. Hampton Moores shirts. As a representative who has risen from being the secretary of former Mayor Ashbridge of Philadelphia to the eminence of a social lion in Washing erly laundered, even If the government must take in washing.
 There was time when thrifty mem- bers of Congress sent the weekly wash home under government frank That was before their pay was raised $2500 a year and the franking privilege cur tailed Now that the country has come to realize the beneficent results of fed eral regulation of domestic details, why not establish Congressional laundry in inc capitol? A model federal laundry, like a model child-labor law and model Insurance code, in the District of Col umbia should spur the state legislatures 10 create similar establishments.
 If MT J. Hampton Moore is not blind1y attached to his own plan of reform, if he is not wrapped up wholly in the bos- ems of his own shirts, he will abandon his high-icense scheme for Washington laundries and use his great influence to have a federal wash-house erected.
 Another year Congress may provide MT. Moore with branch government laundry accessible his Philadelphia residence, and oblige any other congressman in a similar state of distress At any cost MT. Moore's shirts shall be washed right

Be Patriotic and Cut the Weeds

The reunion is close at hand, and the best way to prepare this town against the coming of the surviving veterans, their sons and their daughters, con sists not so much in the placing of strips of muslin here and there as it does in the trimming of lawns, the painting of houses, but above all else In the cutting of all weeds.
 Let us in this way put on holiday appearance. Let us in this way mako this city attractive to the veterans who may not come this way again. The cutting of all weeds within the city is the first duty we have to attend to 3 slight to our visitors. A weedless city in June is the finest of all decora- tions, for it appeals both to the eye and to common sense. It serves to make the city both attractive and san- itary. It says at glance that we are glad to welcome here the veterans of the Confederacy, and we have made tne city trim and pretty for that pur- pose.
 The present week should be a weed cutting one. Cut all the weeds along the sidewalks and in the front yards, and do not overlook the backwards also No householder who desires to do his best for the old soldiers will leave any weeds standing on his prem ises. Cut the weeds, trim the lawns, turn on the water, and strive in every other possible way to make the city pleasant and attractive to our guests.

TOO MUCH WASHING.

From the New York Press.
 Two sparkling Sixth avenue sales giris seated themselves in an elevated car opposite two young brokers from Wall street. 1T wished my hair last night, Alice. and I can never do anything with if after I wash 1t ' said one. That's just what did," said the other, 'and can't either'' A pause. "It was nearly 10 o'clock when I washed my hair last night, Alice, and since then I can't do a thing with it,, tucking in some stray locks well that's Just the time washed mine and I can't do a thing with IL either" The two brokers listened, as did all the passengers in the nearby seats, and there was scarcely another subject mentioned by the girls that did not end with. q can never do anything with my hair after I wash it." Reaching their sta- tion, the two brokers arose to leave tho car, and one, stumbling over the girls protruding shoes, politely removed his hat and said: Pardon me, I washed my feet last night and I never can do any thing with them after wash them.' The car roared.

Georgia'S Primary Contest

On Thursday next a spectacular con test over a gubernatorial nomination will be rounded up by the democratic voters. When Thursday night comes the world will be told whether one of the Big Four is to be reelected, or whether his place is to be taken by a competitor The Atlanta Journal says there are four national figures among the 46 governors of the country, name ly, Governor Hughes of New York, Governor Johnson of Minnesota, Gov ernor Folk of Missouri, and Governor Hoke Smith of Georgia
 We mention the Journals Big Four simply to call attention to the fact that the last named of the list is at this mo- ment making the fight of his life against Little Joe" Brown, who never appears on the stump and who has not heretofore been considered an impor- tant factor in Georgia politics. He is a son of Joseph E. Brown, once gov ernor of Georgia, and the sons public activities have been confined to ra;l- road work. The newspapers of Geor- gia are filled with appeals, and every available stump is occupied. All this eliminates on Thursday next
 The issue relates to the railroads practically speaking Governor Smith s record is before the people for exami- nation. Some say he has not done enough, while some say he has done too much. Al, know that Little Joe" would not, if he should become gov ernor, harm a hair or tie of rail road. It is therefore the railroad reg uiation issue that is to be fought out in our sister state next Thursday and the news from her primary will be awaited in this state with interest.

on 23.000 bales of spot cotton, and Ar thur R. March, New York man and a member of the New York cotton ex- change, says the 23,O00 bales consisted of cotton that the spinners do not buy freely Tt is unfair" he went on to say, ito the producer of cotton that this low grade stuff be used for pur- poses of tender, thus hammering down prices, and it is dishonest to the con sumer of cotton because the narrow ness of the New York spot market IS such that it's transactions cannot be honestly used as basis for fixing con- tract differences. Because of this they are driven to an arbitrary fixing of these differences practically once a season, to stand, regardless of the change which may be brought about by supply and demand. Thus their contract is debauched and degraded
 This statement by a manager of the New York cotton exchange tells the entire story, which can be verified any day by comparison of the prices of contracts in New York and in New Or leans In the latter differences are regulated from day to day to accord with spot values. The fixed-difference plan of New York is simply scheme to depress cotton to the advantage of eastern spinners. The New Orleans cotton exchange is conducted in the interest of producers, and the New York cotton exchange in the interest of spinners, both operating in the long course of cotton year.

Rawn of the Illinois Central "Bir- mingham and the Birmingham district are rich in possibilities. This city IS destined to be within few years one of the greatest in the country.
