writer in the National Magazine. The

Lincoln always took note Of the
Hight and dark moon, as is shown by
an incident which occurred during his
early practice ef law. A murder was
committed in the neighborhood of the
village and the son OF the surveyors
wife was arrested on suspicion from
the testimony of an "eye witness" In
the meantime Lincoln had swung out
his single as lawyer at Springfield,
and on this occasion nobly did he prove
that the kindness OF the surveyor was
not forgotten by the student who
read Blackstone by moonlight.
He went to the jail and questioned
the young prisoner, who asserted his
innocence and Lincoln took up the
case.
At the trial the witness swore that
he saw the murder committed.

that It was moonlight night when
the almanac proves that it was the

Differences of Opinion.

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 In your paper of the 22d instant you published the opinions of Judge Weak ley and MT. Smyer relative to the amendment to the Alabama constitu ton.
 Granting that both of the gentle ment are honest and capable and both fit to give the public the benefit of their knowledge of constitutional law what have weein so far as the two publish ed opinions are taken as guides to the proper casting of ballots on the 29th day of November? We have this. wh ich should benefit all thinking men, l. e., two learned men differing on the meaning of the amendment. Better not amend until we know the meaning of the amendment. Better not amend un- til we know how to amend. When two such able men as the above mentioned fail to agree on the meaning of the proposed amendment, it is time for the voters to wake up and vote against any change in the constitution. Don't vote for an amendment unless you know exactly what the amendment means. Yours truly,

Alabama'S Cotton Crop

John c. Anderson of Rock Hill, s. C., has prepared a table showing that this years estimated cotton crop short as it is, is worth much more than last years crop, which was nearly 14,000.- 900 bales. According to Mir Anderson, the crop in Alabama this year will be 1,239,67S bales, as against 1,S99,63l bales last year. The crop is about b per cent short, and yet it Is worth $18.915,063 more than the Alabama crop of the previous year. The price of cotton has been advanced since MT. Anderson made up his statement A bale of cotton, including. it's seed, is now worth we'll up toward $80, and if we assume that the remainder of the crop is to bring IA cents, we may safely set down the value of the pres ent crop in this state at $20,000,000 in excess of the value of the bumper crop of last year
 But this addition of $2O,O00,00O to the receipts of our farmers will do them little good, simply because they do not make either the corn or the meat consumed in the state. Big crops or little crops, big prices or little price are all the same in this state. The farmers in the middle west get all that is left from a crop anyway.
 An Alabama farmer cannot afford to grow corn to sell, neither can he afford to buy for home consumption western corn, paying freight on 1t and several profits on it before it reaches his hands. Nor can he afford to grow corn in the old slovenly way. A yield of 10 to Is bushels an acre is not good farming. The Alabama farmer will re- main where he is unless he adopts in tensive methods and produces in ac- cordance with those methods enough corn for home consumption. These are old truths, but they are truths nevertheless.

-------------- Cotton Mills Shutting Down

The board of governors of the Amer ican Textile association has ordered the big mills of. the two Caroinas to close down for a period of from 14 to 30 days in order to curtail the manu- fracture of cotton goods. Mills that contain fully 100000 spindles in the states named are silent this week, and largo number of operatives are idle.
 "The question:" says the New Or leans Times-Democrat, "seems to be whether the law of supply and demand shall remain in operation or whether it shall be nullified by concerted stoppage of manufacture till the plant CTS are brought to surrender such ad- vantage as accrues to them by reason of wide disaster to the growing plant and resultant short crop"
 This may be the nature of the effort in the Carolina mills, but it will mis- carry. The planters know how short the crop is. and they know their bales will be needed by a naked world be- fore another crop can be made and marketed. They will simply hold their cotton, and those who are holding cot ton expect to get IA cents for it. The

JOHN R. WALSH
 SELLS RAILROADS

Chicago, October 25.-The Chicago Record Herald tomorrow will say:
 John R. Walsh has disposed of his railroad interests, according to an an- nouncement made at a late hour last night. The purchaser. 1t is said, Is syndicate headed by J. P. Morgan & Go. of New York.
 Through out yesterday and until an early hour this morning representatives of both sides discussed the multifarious details of the transaction.
 The identity of the eastern finan- ciers was not disclosed, but from an authoritative source 1t was learned that J. P. Morgan was among those in at tendance"
 The railroad properties which MT walsh Is reported to have disposed of include the Illinois Southern railway, the Chicago Southern, the Southern In- diana and the Bedford Belt railways.
 Shortly after the collapse of the John R. Walsh financial institutions in Chicago, few years ago, MT. Walsh gave note for $7,121, sS7 to the clear Ing house banks of Chicago. The se- curity accompanying the note inefud- ing the bonds of the above listed roads,
