A friend who has several apple trees
In his yard has noticed that certain
tree which husky house cat has
sharpened his claws on for several
years past has borne the largest guam
tity Of fruit. This was without Ques-
ton due to the bruising and mutilattng
of the trunk, the cat doing in this way
unwittingly what the orchardist aims
to do when he prunes a tree heavily,
cuts and peels up the bark or girdles
the trunk. While this practice of tree
mutilation may be followed within
certain limits, 1t is questionable II 1t is
advisable In the long run, even II the
cat does the Job.

his father before him had occu-

Mr.. Peckham's first office was
that of district attorney fer
Albany county. He was elected
to that position in 1868. He after
wards became in succession cor
poration counsel for the city of
Albany, member of the Supreme
Court of the State and associate
justice of the State court Of ap-
peals. He was the last of Presi-
dent Cleveland's Democratic
appointees to the Federal Su-
preme Court, Chief Justice Full
Ter and Justice White being the
other two. He took his seat in
January, 1896.
There is no rule to govern the
appointment Of a successor to
Justice Peckham, but it is thought
that the vacancy on the bench
will by precedent likely go to a
Democrat. No action in the
matter will be taken until af-
ter President Taft's return tc

How The Farmers Can Help,

Statewide Landmark.
The cotton manufacturers, who
say they will be forced to curtaii
production until the price Of their
products advance; that they can
not payi3 cents for cotton and sell
yarn and cloth at present prices,
think the farmers can help them
and help themselves by buying
literally of cotton goods. The
idea seems to be practicable. A
curtailment of cotton mill pro-
duction means a depression in
the price of cotton, which is
against the farmer. It is pre-
sumed that the price of cotton
goods is about as low as it is
likely to be; that being SO it is to
the farmers interest to buy be-
fore the price advances. In do
ing this he will be buying to
an advantage and helping to keep
up the price of cotton, while at
the sane time he will be helping

the mill people on whom he is

the mill people on whom he is
dependent for a market for his
product. The farmers may or
may not think the mill people
always helped them. That has
nothing to do with the matter if
it is to the farmers interest to
buy literally Of cotton goods
now, and in the present instance
that appears to be so. The mill
people deny that they are trying
to depress the price of cotton:
they maintain that they want
the price maintained but at the
same time must sell their goods
and get enough for them to
meet the prices Of cotton if
they are to continue in business.

ALABAMA RIVER
 REACHES FLOOD CREST

Well up on the low lands of Fillmore County. spread out in a network of connected lakes, the Alabama River has about reached the creGt of its flood The latest measurement, at 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, gave S3.4 feet as the stage. with the river still rising. The rise will continue slowly through this morning, probably going beyond 3B feet, when, according to the outlook of the reports, Che river will become stationery or will begin to fall.
 The river began to fall at Rome yes. terdRy afternoon, after having reached stage of 21.7 feet. At Gadsden the reading was 19.7 feet at 8 D, m, yes- terday with the water practically sta tionary.
 At the same hour, 1t was 35. 1 feet at Wetunpha, and falling slowly, 35. 8 feet being the highest point reach ed there.
 At Montgomery the river was ss. feet yesterday at 8 o'clock, and stiIl rising very slowly. About the same reading had been reached at Selma, where the rise was still in progress.
 Altogether the hood has been not out of the ordinary of the annual win ter rise of the river. Little damage. so far as ascertRined, has been affected by the rise. with no loss of conse- quence to fermers, and none to the railroads in way of washouts.
