Water Transportation.

Richard Little, the representa- tive at Tuscaloosa of the Birmingham, Gulf and Navigation company, is in Birmingham and discusses interestingly the growth of water transportation in Alabama "Our company is building up a good business on the Tombigbee and Warrior to Tus- caloosa and the Alabama to Montgom- ery,' said MT. Little. Already we are doing an annual business of $500, 900 and We are just getting started.
 Tt is a great thing to have freight shipped from New York to the heart of Alabama by water and in a few years water transportation will be one of the states greatest assets. Already we are handling shipments for Birmingham wholesalers for various points near the river The Birmingham dealers simply order these shipments of freight sent di- rect from the east to the merchant in the smaller town and although the Bir- mlngham wholesaler Is responsible for the trade he never sees the goods. The freight comes to Tuscaloosa by water and from there Is distributed by rail to the nearby towns.
 Tuscaloosa people are delighted with the growth of the business and Birming- ham will soon be our friend because al- ready some of your wholesalers are reap ing the benefits"

BARNEY oLDFIELD RETURNS.
Will Re-enter Automobile Racing and
 Will Draw Big Money.

Louisville. June 2.-What is believed to be the largest bonus ever paid driver of a racing automobile for competition on circular tracks will be given Barney Oldfeld for five appearances in open race meets to be run in widely separated cities between June 20 and the second. Monday in September. A contract has just been signed by the terms of which Oldfeld will receive s10,000 for the five meets.
 The contract Is between Oldfeld and Homer George, secretary of the New Orleans Automobile club, and active man ager of a syndicate formed to run big track meets this summer Contracts have already been made for tracks in the five cities selected for the big meets, but an- nouncements will not be made until after the Chicago road race is run June 19. The contract between Oldfield and the promoter, George, binds Oldfield to race such events as George may select, limit of three races each day, and 100 miles for the longest event being made. Old field shall not race elsewhere except with the consent of George, and shall be paid 5000 in cash at the end of each meet. The only condition of the contrac ct is that Old1eld must win two of the races at Louisville June in which he is entered against Lewis Strang and Louis Chevrolet
 Oldfield is having built a special track car, capable of mile in 50 seconds by an automobile company of Indianapolis He will drive this in all contests
 Promoter George is here arranging the race for June during the Shriners' meet

Veterans, Sponsors and Maids

On the eve of the nineteenth reunion of the United Confederate Veterans the Memphis papers report degree of friction between the veterans and the sponsors and maids. The Com mercial Appeal assures the veterans that they will emphatically be the stars" of the reunion The young women who come as sponsors and maids selected by the veterans are to be hospitably entertained, but" says the Commercial Appeal, their enter tainment will not be allowed to inter- fere with that of the men who did the actual fighting While our admiration and gallantry wait upon the charming sponsors and their maids of honor, our undying reverence and apprecia- ton are laid at the feet of the men who heard the call of the south in her hour of need and failed not to an swer it."
 This is all the case admits of. In the Grand Army of the Republic-the organization of northern veterans sponsors and maids are unknown. Southern gallantry and chivalry have given them places of honor at Confed- crate reunions, and it is wise to con- tinue the arrangement, for no one cherishes the memories of the war so faithfully and devotedly as women do. The southern man immersed in busl- ness or in his crop-making work for gets at times the civil war and the heroes who conducted it, but the women of the south never do. It is well, therefore, to give them places of honor at reunions. The feeling that they are overcared for to the neglect of the veterans is momentary and will soon be forgotten.

Counting Noses Next Year

The selection of Director Durand to conduct the taking of the next national census is generally approved. He is A statistician of known ability and ex- perience. The task before him is bnge one. for he has not only to count the people but also the industries and activities of those people. It will be interesting to know if the mainland has reached the 90,000,000 line, and it will be equally interesting to know how far our industrial activities ex- ceed those of any other nation, or per haps any other two nations. It is to be hoped that immigration and indus trial activity will both become normal in this country before the new census is taken.
 Thus far no census bill has been passed. The pending bill hangs fire in conference, and no agreement has been reached. The differences between the two houses are so wide that Chairman Tawney of the House appropriations committee has announced that he is preparing simple appropriation bill with no provisions for the reorganiza- ton of the census bureau on quasi civil service lines, and that on this basis the new census will be taken under the law of 10 years ago. This is apparently the best that the differences in Congress admit of, and Director Durand can, if given free hand, select under the law of 10 years ago competent assist ants and employees. But in order to do this he needs all possible freedom and the speedy passage of the needful appropriation.

Union Cotton In Georgia

In Georgia there are over 100 ware houses controlled by members of the Farmers union. Hereafter these ware houses are to be controlled by one central board. The cotton they hold will be marketed by a central agency in the hope that haphazard selling can be eliminated. For this purpose the Union Consolidated Warehouse con- pany has been organized. The object of centralized selling is the marketing of cotton upon active markets only, not upon glutted markets. To avoid congestion in the market cotton must be held sometimes to the spring months.
 Warehouse receipts will be issued promptly, and these, it is expected, will become collateral for loans that will tide the farmer over the period of pressing need.
 President Barrett is encouraging the formation of similar central boards in each of the cotton growing states. and Alabama will no doubt do as Georgia has done in this important matter There are about 50 union warehouses in this state and centralized agency is greatly needed in the handling of their cotton.
 Step by step, the allied farmers of the south are adopting business methods in the handling of their great cash crop. and the indications now are that the progressive southern farmers will slip out of the grip of the New York cotton exchange, which has long been hurtful not only to the farmers but to other southern interests. The latter are in fact dependent in the re- spect of prosperity upon the price of cotton.

Storms This Sprino.

The storms this spring have caused more trouble with our wires than usual" said F. L. Woodruff of Montgomery, di- vision commercial superintendent of the Southern Bell telephone.
 "The wlndstorm of Sunday, afternoon was more damaging here in Birmingham than any that has occurred within the last three years. It put 6OO of our phones out of service. We repaired the damage as soon as possible, but storms have been coming in such quick succession that anything like perfect service has been almost impossible for some time past.
 storm disturbance is more frequent in Jones valley and north of here than in sections south of Birmingham"

Seaboard railroad are also progressing promisingly. These, too, will promote the prosperity of this district.
 After all, the crops are the determin- ing factor in the trade situation. Much rain has fallen of late in the south and southeast but no crop was ever ruined by heavy rains early in the season. The cotton crop will not sui fer because of any excess of moisture in May and June. The acreage in Texas has been increased, and the southern farmer knows what his cash crop is and what a naked world needs He is not a bit alarmed over pros pect of a 1S,OOO,0OO-bale crop.
 The harvesting of winter wheat has been begun, and the latest estimate calls for a crop of 39O,OS7 400 bushels, as against crop of 437 ,903,000 bushels in. 1908. The spring wheat acreage has been increased, and it may readily make good any deficiency in the winter wheat crop.
 Corn monopolizes, it is said, 105,000.- 900 acres this year, and soil conditions are excellent, especially in the surplus corn states. A yield of 30 bushels to the acre would make good all defieien- ces in other food crops Favorable weather can give the country an aver age yield of 30 bushels to the acre. In 1906 the yield was 3O3 bushels per acrn

O'Flynn secre- tary and treasurer of the local Beavers club and one of the best known men of Meridian. Walton fired three shots at close range, each bullet taking effect, one in the back, one in the breast and one shattering the left arm near the el- bow.

 The only provoeation, so far as known, was the refusal of OFlynn as secretary of the club to allow Walton the priv ileges of the buffet. The house commit tee of the club a few days ago suspend ed Walton for alleged intoxicaton and making use of profane language in vio- lation of the rules of the organization.
 It is said that shortly before the shoot ing Walton telephoned O Flynn that he
 
 matter" Arriving at the club Walton is said to have walked close up to O'Flynn and said: You have always been against me- and began to shoot. Three shots were fired in quick success sion before witnesses could reach tho man, who was disarmed by force before he could fire two remaining bullets of .32 revolver which, 1t is said. he had just purchased from a local dealer.
 When last seen Walton was leaving Meridian going north across country in a downpour of rain He is about 50 years old clean shaven and wears glasses His wife and several children reside here. They moved to Meridian from the coun- try.
