pr. Stagg May Go to AnniSton

The Rev. Dr. John w. Stagg has been elected president of the Alabama Synodical college at Anniston, and 1t is plain it is a call to duty that he cannot well decline, however much he will be missed in this city and especially in the First Presbyterian church. His popularity is equaled by his energy. Without any intention to lower the dignity of distinguished preacher Dr. Stagg may be described as forceful mixer" He Is at home wherever he is. He is at home among the people, and he is at home in the pulpit
 A man of force and vigor is needed at Anniston, and the members of the First Presbyterian church will prob ably be asked to give up their eloquent pastor. There are many successful preachers, but there are not many men who can take a new college and build 1t into a strong, well-established institution. pr. Stagg is we'll fitted for the task to which he has been elected What is Birmingham's loss will be Anniston's gain, and the Pres byterian church of the entire state will reap advantages from the proposed change It seems to be one of the necessary evolutions of the time, and the call to Dr. Stagg is one that he cannot readily and consistently de- cline, despite his unqualified popular ity and acceptability in this city.

Fl om the Augusta Chronicle.
 The disappointment and regret of the congregation of the First Presbyterian church over Dr. J. T. Plunket's possible acceptance of a call to Columbia s. C., was evidenced by special meeting of the entire congregation yesterday, after the morning service.
 At the conclusion of the service, fol- lowing his usual custom, Dr. Plunket retired. The congregation remained seat ed, preparatory to acting upon the sub ject of his probable acceptance of the call. After a few minutes discussion, it was decided that the congregation should call on him in a body and use its in- fuence, and subsequently, the officers of the church should also call upon him and use every means of inducing him not to accept the call
 So, following out the concerted plan, the congregation formed in body and marched over to Dr. Plunkets house. He was called to the front porch and in- dividually the congregation went up to him, shook hands and with pathetic earn estness begged him to remain with them, whom he had so long served.
 Dr. Plunket met them in the spirit of love. in which they called. For each he had a warm hand-shake and words of>sympathy, and the smile that is char acteristic of him. But not once did he give them a word of satisfactory assur- ance. In fact he stated that he had not decided what would be done, whether he would accept or whether he would re- fuse the call.
 After the congregation had all spoken to Dr. Plunket and each had put his or her word of protest. the officers of the church met with him. but nothing de- cisive was done at that meeting. Dr. Plunket refuses to state what dis position will be made of the call. Dr. Plunket has been officially called to the pastorate of the South Highlands Presbyterian church.

Revenues and Waterways

The fiscal year will be ended with the present month. The deficit in the national finances up to June 1 was s97,0O0,00 This sum may not be in creased, for June is customarily a sur plus month. But the more interesting question relates to the revenue of the approaching fiscal year. Will the deficit be less or more than it is this year? This is a difficult question: Two things, however, point to another heavy deficit. Imports have of late been heavy be- cause importers were discounting the new .Aldrich bill. They had means of Knowing what the ruling clique in the republican party intends to do, and they rushed goods in to meet the ex- pected duties. It is not reasonable, therefore, to expect that imports will be maintained. And then, too, Senator Aldrich and his co-workers are doing their best to exclude foreign merchan- disc and they can not exclude foreign goods and get revenue from such goods in our custom houses.

EFFECTS OF OPIUM.

From the Medical Record.
 Although the consumption of opium to excess by members of the white races is harmful in a high degree to body and mind the effect of the drug upon the far eastern races is point concerning which TO such dogmatic statement can be made. Of course, there are to be found in Asia among the native population. thousands of men and women who are slaves to the habit and who are thereby demoralized in mind and ruined in constitution. On the other hand, there are immense num- bers of people who, while accustomed to take opium daily, consume the drug in moderate quantities and exhibit no evil effects from the practice. Indeed, Mr. Rudyard Kipling some years ago stated that in his belief the moderate consump- ton of opium did good rather than harm to the native population of India. In fact, the consumption of opium by tho Asian people may be compared. not in- aptly, to the consumption of alcohol by the Europeans. Both have, through gen. erations of practice, acquired a certain immunity to the drugs. This, however, does not prove that alcohol and opium are not harmful, but that narcotics of any description exert an especially ma lign influence upon virgin soil. This con sumption of opium by white people is invariably attended with the most dis astrous consequences and every available step should be taken to discountenance and put down the habit.

Wood Pulp Supplies

Two hundred and ffty-one pulp mills are kept busy in this country turning out the product that goes into mod ern paper These mills consumed last year 3,946, 106 cords of wood, each cord containing 12S solid feet. A cord is in fact a pretty large body in itself.
 Spruce trees furnished GA per cent of the total quantity of wood consumed last year, and hemlock and poplar brought the total up to 90 per cent. The remaining 10 per cent came from many species in the forest, pine, cotton wood and balsam leading the list. Scarcely any of the woods in the south are turned into pulp, and this is an additional reason why the effort at Cordele, Ga, to turn cotton plants into paper is regarded with interest. About s4 ton is offered for cotton plants at Cordele.
 The wood used by the pulp mills last year cost $S.9S a cord. Imported spruce costs S10.60 a cord. It comes from Canada Hemlock is the cheapest wood consumed at the pulp mills, its cost being but s6.02 cord. An increasing amount of slab wood and other saw mill waste is used each year in the pulp mills.
 Although the supply of woods suit able for pulp making purposes is be- coming less each year, yet the Aldrich, tariff proposes to tax both, the raw material and the completed product and this tax upon intelligence will no doubt be passed upon at the next cleo tion for congressman, the election in November, 1910.

General Plans for COUrthOuSeS

The Board of Revenue has laid it's general plan for the construction of a courthouse in this city and for an other at Bessemer before the people of the county. It did this long enough before the election of June 19 to en- able the voter to consider it carefully and to consult his neighbors in rela- tion to it.
 The more the plan of the Board of Revenue is considered the more votes will surely be polled in it's favor at the coming bond election. The present jail in this city has been condemned by the state authorities, and the Board of Revenue proposes to erect at cost not exceeding s500,000 a mod ern, 10-story skyscraper courthouse and jail, the jail to occupy the two upper floors.
 Nor should the needs of Bessemer and the south end Of the county be overlooked. The Board of Revenue pledges itself to make the sum of $100,- 900, if voted, go to the erection of a fine building that would finely serve the people in the south end of the big county. The members of the board have thus dealt frankly with the peo- pie of the county. and the entire sub- ject is now before the people for ac- ceptapce or rejection. The Age-Herald has confidence that ample consider ation of the plans of the Board of Revenue will result in an affirmative yoto

Fortunes s in Alfalfa.

'I firmly believe there is a fortune for black belt farmers in raising alfal- fa," said R. s. Nelson yesterday. Ut will be hard to get it started on a big scale because 1t is an expensive propo- sition in the beginning. It costs no less than $15 an acre to get the first good stand of alfalfa, and of course If a man has to treat his soil the cost runs still higher, But how the profits do come when the hay gets to going we'll The future of that section will depend on alfalfa It is the greatest hay known to man. Stock will eat it in preference to anything else. Hogs eat it. Poultry and turkeys thrive on it, and the tur- keys can always be found roasting near Ast the alfalfa field. When cooked right and served with eggs it is a rival for spinach on mans table.
 "The problem now confronting the black belt is the scarcity of labor. I have just had to nail up one of five new cabins I built recently because I cannot find ten ant to go into it. Alfalfa solves the diff culty finally because 1t takes less work after getting started than anything else.
 Alfalfa requires deep soil and limestone
 
 black belt are rich ana full of tiny shells left there at some prehistoric time and the decomposition of these shells fur nishes exactly the composition of lime re- quired.
 "The black belt is going to flourish like the green bay tree in few years and will contrast tsarngely with the tales told will contrast strangely with the tales told onel Davidson, formerly one of the richest men in the black belt, a man with thou sands of acres of lane, got on the train at Selma and paid his paAe to Demopolis with two pounds of butter back in '73? Furthermore. the conductor of the tram took the butter to his landfadS and got 1t credited on his board bill. If peo- pie will go into alfalfa such incidents as that will be known in the future only by contrast"

DIRTY PLAYS.

William Winter in New York Tribune.
 The persons who support pornographic plays are not 'strong men"; they are, for the most part, the idle and morbidly curious youth, of both sexes; the vicious mature the neurotic; the dissatisfied fe- males; the vulgar profligates; and the half developed creatures who being i'm perfectly educated, suffer with a sort of mental dyspepsia. The theme of all such plays, from the time of Lord Rochester to that of David Belasco, Is the sexual relation, under more or less illicit con- dtions. Sometimes the plays are mere ribaldry; sometimes cou1ination of spec tacle and animal propensity, as in cer- tain dramas habitually produced by Sa- rah Bernhardt; sometimes they disclose analysis of disease, functional or organic, resulting in more or less perverted and depraved conduct, as frequently exhib- tied in the writings of the Norwegian pessimist and bore Henrik Ibsen; some- times they are pictures of social turpi- tude, reproduced with exclusive attention to photographic portrayal of contempo- rary vice; always their appeal" is the same. The attitude of the strong mem
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-06-09

are inconsistent, and the latter would not be apt to crystalize Into fact.
 The long and short of the matter is, more revenue is needed. Instead of raising the tariff wall still higher effort should be bent toward more revenue. Another deficit means bond issue, and a bond issue means that the re- publieans will be driven from power.
 It is idle to talk about economy at the hands of Congress. A demand for improved waterways, for example, will not down. The country needs more waterways and it will build them per haps as freely as Germany has done, and as other European countries are preparing to do. There can be no waterways. however, on the basis of an Aldrich tariff or any other tariff whose chief object is to shut out for eign goods.
 The country in short needs an in- come tax for that would do away with all danger of another big def1cit-all danger of bond issue, while it would provide a margin for needful improve ments. The Taft administration can ill afford to accept an Aldrich tariff that does not provide for an income

Have All Disappeared.

"There is no such thing as pessimist or croaker in the north,' said A. l.. Schuberth of Chicago. Three or four months ago there may have been few men who were skeptical as to the per- manence of business improvement, but all such have disappeared. That the indus trial revival has come to stay is plainly demonstrated by the big orders for steel products and the starting up of indus tries idle since the fall of 1907.
 If the Birmingham district has not en- tered upon the new era of prosperity it is because this district was the last to feel the industrial depression The rail mill at Ensley ran full time all through 19OS The district must have little patience now. The great prosperity wave will hit Birmingham before the summer is half over, and next fall will probably show some new nigh records"
