Good cron Outlook.

"The rains In Alabama are bad on cotton" said prominent man in the cotton trade, but I remember that in 1904 we had just about such rainy June as this, and that was the year of the worlds biggest crop. There is time enough for cotton to catch up in Alabama.

Fees in Minor Civil CasoS

After furnishing examples of the ridiculously heavy fees and costs in minor criminal cases in Virginia, the Richmond Times-Dispatch turns to the fees in that state in minor civil cases. It cites a case of a contractor who was compelled to sue in order to col lect a claim of $50. He got judg- ment for that amount. and here are the fees that were rolled up in the petty bit of litigation:
 Fee for civil warrant. 50 Fee for serving same................... 30 Trial fee in civil justices court ..... 50 Deposit by plaintiff to cover costs,
 including writ tax of S1.............. 5.o0 Excess cost beyond the deposit. for
 the payment of witnesses ......... 50 Cost for portion of jury's expenses
 paid by the state .................. S.o0 Sheriff's fee for executing judgment,
 per cent of $90 ...,.................. 1.50
 Total .............'...-........ .slZ .oo
 Fees, in other words, added fl per cent to the principal to be paid by the parties or the commonwealth. In larger cases an addition of Al per cent for fees becomes prohibitiye to the poor man. The fee system finds its victims largely among the weak and humble, althouhg it does not hesitate to levy fees on the strong and the rich. Costs" are largely fees that go to the fee brigade, which in turn is the -polit- ical machine. Virginia is fully aroused over the subject of court fees. and so would Alabama be if the fees in this state in minor criminal and minor civil cases were presented in plain figures and facts.

New Power Secret.

The Tesla Propulsion company, recently incorporated at Albany, N. Y, with $l'ooo,- Oo0 capitol stock, for the purpose of ex- hibiting what is claimed to be a most inn portant power device will be of local in- terest, as Nikola Tesla, the inventor, an nounces that it has been adopted by the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron eom- pany. The last issue of Fuel gives edi- torial prominence to the matter and prints the following interview:
 ''I have discovered mechanical prin- ciple, entirely new and of the greatest economic value" Mir Tesla said, "but shall not be in position to make known the details and exhibit the principle in operation for perhaps six weeks. It is a principle which minimizes the size of the power producing plant and increases to a maximum the power produced. The apparatus we will build for the Alabama concern will not be one-third of the size of the ordinary air blast machinery equip ment for such work and the air blast and other effective results will be far superior in volume and value to those at present generally used.
 Tn connection with this plant l will in- stall a turbine of my own invention, and the air blast will be supplied under tur- bine principle. This new mechanical prin- ciple I have discovered is applicable to air. steam, gas or water power, and may be used for locomotives, automobiles or any form of power production. With 1t a locomotive as powerful as any now used would need to be less than half the size.
 The Tesla Propulsion company's di- rectors include Mir. Tesla, Joseph Hoad- ley and Walter H. Knight of New York- MT. Tesla states that machines of several types have been built and that success full demonstrations had been given with them to his associates in the new com pany and to representatives of the Ala bama company.

VACATION DAYS.

VACATION DAYS. Vacation days. vacation days, They're coming back once more And some elect the mountain slopes
 And some prefer the shore, Where salty pillows blithely curl
 And ripple on the sand,
 With pretty girls in bathing suits
 And music by the band.
 Vacation days, vacation days
 Some think a week in camp Will fill the bill. while other wishts Propose a lengthy tramp; And some will fish and some play golf,
 And some take horseback rides And some play tennis on the lawn,
 And get sunstroke besides Vacation days, vacation days
 Are coming back again. When people think they're bound to
 rest"
 With all their might and main But not for me the mountain climb,
 Or frolic in the foam;
 I'll sit and sip me something cool
 And rest sure nough-at homel REPLIES.
 In travelling the road to happiness it is good idea not to trust too much in a guide book. The best directions are writ ten in your own heart. In the hurry of modern life people for get to think how pleasant it is to have three meals day and place to sleep at night. It takes all kinds of people to make a world including very learned and very able educators who think they can select a shelf of books that will fit every mans needs. The thorns of life which the poet speaks about are only fgurative meaning much the same as lemons. When a man eats heavy meal Just be- fore retiring he Is apt to dream about seeing a large fat woman in an 'aero- plane gown. The art of being a philosopher is easily acquired and just as easily forgotten when Central says the lines busy. All the poetry and romance of life die in the clutch of a summer cold. Many a man keeps on friendly terms with his conscience by thinking how much worse he might be. PAUL COOK.
