Conest Editor-In answer to the

trite proverb, where there is a

sue squarely. A verbose statement
outlining how couple should reg

ends meet on an $18 per week in
come serves no purpose, unless a
couple is inclined to forego some
of the whims that operate to pre-
vent them doing SO. In short, their
resolutions must be attended by
will capable of permitting exc

RECORD
COTTON
RECEIPTS
Memphis Has Already Received Near
Iy One Hundred Thousand Bales
This Season.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, August 30.-Witll
the cotton that was received Saturday
the total receipts at Memphis reached
9S3,652 bales, which compares with a
record for the entire season of 9S3, GOA
in 19O4-O5. With two days more to be
counted the total will reach $4,000
bales or little more. This is in line
with expectations and at one .ilae it
was thought possible that the receipts
would reach 100000 bales. Ship
ments exceed receipts for the season
having been to date 9S9.517 bales,
which has reduced the total stock to
7,412, as compared with 15,107 last
year.
The receipts at Memphis are in line
with the total for the season. which
will reach 100000 bales, making
this last. the biggest cotton crop ever
grown in the South.
The low price for cotton during the
year was 8 ga cents for n,iddling late
in December and the high price rules
now at ~ 1-2c. The average has been
close to IL cents per pound so that
the entire receipts have had an al.
Droximate value of $475O per bale

Southern Lumberman.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, August 30
One of the really great surprises of
the extra session of the legislature Of
Alabama was the total defeat of the
forestry bill in the house of repre-
sentatives by an almost unanimous
vote says today's issue of the South
ern Lumberman. AS the law which
has been on the statute book since
the session of 1907 is invalid because
of violation of the Constitution in
the passage thereof, Alabama is now
without any sign of a regulation for
the preservation of the forests.
1t furnished one of the anti-climaxes
Of the session. Following a confer
ence of the governor, United States
forestry experts and members of the
state commission of forestry a few
months ago, policy was agreed upon
to encourage more economical cutting
of trees and the limitation of the size
of the cut. At the same time it was
realized that the bill of the 1907 ses.
sion never actually became law be-
cause of its unconstitutionality. The
governor was prevailed upon to incor.
porate into a redraft of the old bill
a number of radical features. Then
Governor Conner put the subject in
his call which gave it the privilege of
passage with bare majority instead
of two-thirds.
No sooner had the measure been in
troduced in the senate than lumber
men statewide set up their loud cry
of opposition. They were alarmed at

called Tiff agreement. A schedule of

to the Washington clearing house,
many of the claims in Central Yellow
Pine Association territory have been
completely checked up here and vouch
ers or drafts are ready to pay them as
soon as claimants sign I'D the agree
ment and furnish the necessary evil
dence.
Sentence is Ccrmutec.
The President on Thurs6ay com
muted to six months to eighteen
months sentence imposed by the
United States Circuit Court at Pensa-
cola on w. s. Harlan and the thirteen
months sentence on S E. Higgins
and c. c. Hilton for peonage at and
about Lockhart, Ala, in 1906. The
application for pardon of Robert Gal.
lagher and Walter E. Grace, both con-
Yicted in the same case, were denied
by the President. ,..#
There were originally thirteen men
! indicted in connection with peonagy
conditions at Lockhart, Ala, most OF
them conencted with the Jackson
Lumber Company. One of them was
pardoned by President Roosevelt af-
ter serving five of his thirteen months
sentence.

Summary Of CONDITIONS
IN The LUMBER MARKET

the drastic clause which would have
forbidden any cut of pine trees of less
than twelve inches in diameter two
feet above ground for lumber purposes
or fifteen inches for turpentine pur-
poses. Immediately a lobby and pub
licity campaign was started which re-
suited in eliminating this part of the
bill in the senate committee. And
when it came up in that body it was
passed without considerable opposi-
ton.
When it came up for passage in
the lower house however, it was de-
feated by an almost unanimous vote.
The features of the bill which were
fatal seemed to be the tax exemption
clause, the section which made it
, misdemeanor for any person to set
! fire to his land which communicated
to adjoining property-it now being
only civil liabilty-and the clause
which made it mandatory on coun
ties to support forest wardens at a
stipulated salary, whereas the original
bill made it optional with the county.
Moreover, there was a feature which
compelled railroads to put on new
spark equipment and keep rights of
way cleared.
Progress of the Yellow Pine Claims.

matter of the yellow pine reparatioa

the defendent saw fit. This provision
was vigorously critised by various
claimants, and it is believed to have
kept many claimants from signing the
agreement. The attorneys for all the
