Great Transactions In Cotton

James J. Patten and his associates readily accepted all May cotton rendered on contracts held by them, and while they are placing the 100000 bales more oe less thus received, they are buying Ill the July cotton that is offered. The tasis of the operations of the Patten olique is a short and late crop next fall ns well as a small visible supply.
 | The deliveries of May cotton will ag- kregate in values by te end of the pres- ora. month about $22, 100000, and all trans hctions involve cash payments. The Sul. 1v deal of 1904 is outclassed by the pres ont corner in cotton So. for that matter nre. all other speculative movements ir the greet staple.
 The May deal will fill the pockets oi tts promoters if the cotton delivered tc them on May contracts can be sold tc srinners, and this. it is believed, can be done at satisfactory prices. None of il VII be permitted to go to spectators for that would aid the bears. and frus'

trate a July corner. period of pres snre is inevitable in the cotton market, and this period will last at least until the crop prospects of the present year are better defined
 The New York bears have met their masters at last in the four rank out siders who are managing the May deal. These men are James J. Patten Of Chi cago. Eugene Scales of Texas, and Will liam P. Brown and Frank Hayne of New Orleans. All four are well supplied
 with courage and cash. The New York
 operators who engineered downward
 movement last January, regardless of the
 statistical situation, are cowed at last, and the few bales left in the south are eagerly sought by numerous purchasers. Attorney General Wickersham proposes now to investigate the bear movement in | January, as well as the bull movement of today. So far, so good. But when Congress attempts to restrict all deal ings in cotton not based on actual trans fers, it tackles a problem that is as
 elusive as it is difficult.

MARK TWAIN,s HOME

From the WaSnlnEtOn EOSt.
 People who live in the neighborhood of Montgomery, Mo, near where Mark Twain was born. are preparing to raise a fund to purchase the old home of the celebrated humorist and convert it into a memorial museum in honor of the writer" said J. H. Watson, of Joplin, Mo-, at the Arlington.
 "The old house in Hannibal, Mo, where Mark Twain spent his boyhood is still standing, and the humble little home where he was born in Florida, a hamlet near Joplin, is still in existence. Opinion is divided among those who are working on the memorial plan as to whether they shall. buy the property at Hannibal or that at Florida.
 '.The plan at present is to raise part of the necessary funds by public sub- scription and to have the state legis- ature appropriate the remainder. If the state does not make an appropriation, the whole sum will be raised by public subscription. There has been some talk of raising the money by the sale of a Mark Twain souvenir.
 Ut has been suggested that Missouri should be the permanent burial place of the great humorst, and after the memo rial Is finished, something may be done to have his body removed there"

TITLED GUESTS IN NEW YORK

From tHe NtW lOih Votiu'
 The awkward contretemps at a Fifth avenue hotel whereby a duchess was barred from an elevator reserved for a princess reveals a defect in hotel man. agement that should be remedied. Ap- pealing as our hotels now do to an aris- tocratic patronage, they should lose no time in establishing a system of prece- dence for use in such emergencies; and certainly better methods should be intro duced for identifying titled guests on oc- casions when they are net wearing their coronets. The mistake was in sense excusable, the duchess being alone and with nothing to distinguish her rank, while the princess had just stepped from her emblazoned landau and was accom- panied by her footman. No doubt the embarrassing meeting would have been averted in London hotel.
 But this is America, and business is business in hotels as everywhere else. Tbe princess in question, of course, rank ell the duchess, besides being entitled to privileges on account of her suite of l2 rooms. But assuming that the duchess had engaged IS rooms. to which should the right of way be given? In the case of I rich commoner. steel or an oil king, with a suite of 20 rooms, could an impecunious duke lodged in a single room be permitted to precede him? Never!

ON THE HOME STRETCH

From the Greenvile Living Truth.
 Tho day of the primary for the election of state officers is nearly here and the vote next Monday will settle the ques- ton. There is no doubt whatsoever as to the election of O'Neal for governor, but every man in the state owes it to himself and to his children to go to the polls on election day and cast his vote. Never has there been an election for governor where there was such una niniity of opinion as to the result. But in spite of this every O Neal man should go to the polls and cast his vote in order to make the result as near unanimous as possible After this the state will never more be agitated by attempts to graft prohibition into the constitution. This election of O'Neal will settle it for good and all. 7. st
 And while we are on the subject of those who did great work for the de- feat of the proposed constitutional amendment we must not overlook the part our fellow townsman. Hon. J. Lee Long, played in defeating that measure. As all remember, he was the campaign manager for the antis and his good work in that line went far toward defeating the amendment. MT. Long must not be forgotten and his people will remembe. the good work he did in their behalf

and the statements of the

lics-statistics and the statements of the managers.
 Tradesmen find that men are more prone to petty thievery than are women. The class of criminals who enter this field are generally of the lower type and not brilliant enough to execute any large robbery. When sufficiently indulged in, the habit cannot be shaken off. and it IS only question of time until the culprit gets caught
 Shoplifting on the part of women IS due to a craving for an article which causes the afflicted one to lose moral consciousness. If successful, tlN second step is simple, and thereafter they con tinue in the false path until caught.
 There is less thievery across the coun- ter than is generally supposed, much of the loss of the average store coming from within" Employees are more often guilty than are customers, and the floor detective spends more time studying the characteristics of the salesladies, 1ioor- walkers, bundle wrappers, and cash boys than they do in watching the customers. Even among the employees it is the men and boys, rather than the women ana girls, who fall into evil ways, according to the managers of the larger stores. Ap- parently the same ratio of honesty which obtains in other walks of life can be found among the help in store, and also here, as elsewhere, woman proves herself more capable of resisting tempta- tion than does man.

O,NEAL DEMONSTRATION
rom the Mobile Register.

From the Mobile Register.
 The gathering of the matchless men of the south here this week, and their movements and actions while our guests, must properly displace politics for the period of the Confederate Vet erans' reunion at Mobile. Nevertheless the remarkable demonstration of Mon- day night, the parade in honor of Hon. Emmett O'Neal, and the tribute of the magnificent assemblage which gath cred to listen to his address, demand public recognition.
 In part, perhaps, the occasion was embraced to extend a deserved tribute to the son of one of those famous paladins who are resting in the shade on the wonder side of life. The late Governor and gallant General Edward A, ONeal was much loved and re- spected and is still remembered~here in the Gulf City; and his son is always assured cordial welcome.
 Beside this, however, the manifesto tion taking the shape of one of the largest processions and the greatest gathering seen in Mobile must be ac- cepted as proof of the prevailing sem timent of Mobile in regard to the great issue to be decided in the primary election of next Monday.s

Sixteenth General Conference

Tomorrow at Asheville, N. C.. the great quadrennial conference of the Methodist Episcopal church south will meet, and one clerical and one lay delegate for every 46 ministers of this great church will be present. This conference has inn portant business to transact, for many deaths and changes have taken place in the widespread membership since the fif teenth general conference sat in this city.
 In the first place, six bishops will prob ably be elected, for there are now but Women's Home Mission society asks that /, the women be given equal rights with the men in the church. There are many other subjects to come up-the control of Van derbilt university change in the name Of the southern church, and the length of time a preacher can serve. Every one of these questions will arouse discussion, and if all are disposed of in three weeks the conference will be entitled to great credit as a working body.
 A legislative body representing strong church and meeting but once in four years is necessarily one that has great deal of important business to transact, and the calendar of the conference at Asheville will be speedily filled with inn portant questions. The mighty men of the church will be present, and these questions will no doubt be handled to the satisfaction of the entire church.

Damage to the Crops

The New York Journal of Commerce nublishes reports from every part of the cotton belt and these reports when .ompiled show an increase in cotton s,creage of a little more than per mt. The increase in Texas is per cent, and in Oklahoma over 10 per cent.
 These figures. will certainly affect the losses on account of replanting, and normal crop is not only possible but probable. A frost in April comes hoo early to determine the size of any

 eny means as was at first reported. N at is always the experience in every crop disaster The delay which has been caused is probably the most seri- ous feature, particularly in those sec tions that have become infested with the boil weevil. An early crop is be- 1ieved to be the best way of fighting the weevil. A crop planted as late as t,i14 xx-fIJ ,Ia time to mature before frost, may still be too backward to escape the most active period of the predaceous weevil. But even in such cases it is best to look at the bright side of things and hope that the weevils will not be as active the coming summer as they have been in the past.'

JOHNsToN'S FUN

From the Washington Times.
 Senator Johnston of Alabama is tell ing his republican friends in the Senate that he understands that they have lost al. interest in the high cost of living. He says that they are interested only in the question of whether or not they are able to live at all-politically.
 The Southerner says he is able to ap- preciate the feelings of his republican associates when he .contemplates that outcome of the New York and Massa- chusetts congressional fights of recent date. He does not blame them for pass ing up the comparatively unimportant food cost investigation in favor of the more momentous question of their own political future.
 The Alabama Senator is having a lot of quiet fun out of the situation and he takes more pleasure in his wholly good natured thrusts at his friend Senator Lodge, than all the rest of the Senate com bined.

Crop Conditions

Beyond doubt the optimistic temper of the country with regard to it's crops has had not unhealthy relapse as a result of the cold wave which at the end of the third week in April put vegetation over test" says the Wall Street Journal. For tunately, frosts in April are not excep- tional, nor are they so alarming to the tiller of the soil as they are to the com mercial and financial world. It is the man at distance who develops anxiety because he is not within reach of actual conditions.
 With the beginning of May field work throughout the country continues in corn and cotton planting. These two crops for the current year will probably represent 145. .OO000c acres. Spring wheat seeding is we'll out of the way, and covers another 2o.0GJ,OOO acres. We do not xet know how much abandoned acreage there may be of winter wheat, but certainly there should be no less than 30,O00,0C0 acres for harvest, with due allowance for the DOT tion which is plowed under for corn or other crops on account of poor prospects These four crops of 195,000,000 acres con stitute the chief sources of income of the American farms. By the end of the month of May 165.0OO,0O0 acres of spring crops will have been planted and sown, mainly the result of 60 days of field work. There will, of course, have to be some replanting of corn. The soil Is rather dry, but that is much better than the other extreme. The country is none too well supplied with moisture as con- ditions appear now, but there is no need of borrowing trouble from the future. On this account, however, prices of grains have advanced at home against better crop prospects abroad

EATS HIS OWN POTATOES

From the New York Sun.
 Patrons of a hotel dining room stop ped eating while a piping hot boiled potato of extraordinary size was car ried across the room and set before a man seated at center table.
 Brought it himself. all the way from Oklahoma" said the manager He brought enough to last him all the time he is here. He keeps them in his own room and sends one down just in time to have it cooked for dinner. Yes, they're good potatoes, but that isn't why he brought a sackful up from Oklahoma. He is in the potato business and he eats his own potatoes as an advertisement, A potato of that size carried across the room held up high at arms length is going to attract attention anywhere. It makes folks ask questions and pretty soon the reputation of those potatoes is made.
 There are other fellows as enterprise ing as this Oklahoma chap. Every year an apple grower from Oregon plays the same game. He brings samples of his best apples along and has them served in styles that are bound to make people lCok'

THE REBUILDING ISSUE WINS

Emmet Neal will be Alabama's next governor and John H. Bankhead will succeed himself in the U S. senate While yesterdays democratic primary drew out uncommony large vote in some counties the the state may quite reach the larger estimates
 At the time of going press still meagre but they full enough show that Mr. Neal has defeated Col Mallory by decisive majority Owing to the large number of candidates voted for and the consequent length of the bal lots the count has been unusually slow.
 As the next legislature regard to its attitude toward the forthcoming administrations be day two before it's complexion be determned but 1t safe to say each house will represent the broad and upbuldng element be dominant n this stae
 The contest the governorshp has full of interest but re not bitter Alabama is to be congratulated in deed upon fact that both Mr. ONeal Col Mallory not only deprecated harsh epe but that the two asrants for the executive office invariably treated each other with the ut respect consideration. Certainly there cleaner campaign far these two principals cerned Both men conspicuous ability and both amples of noble integrity
 Few men in Alabama greatly esteemed Col H. S. D. Mallory His personality is singularly engaging and he numbers his close friends by thousands and tens of thousands The fact that other Alabama could have made the fine he has made His services to the democratic party years past notable He has deserved we'll of his party that the governosp easily within his reach until he joined the radical prohibition wing. Statewide hibon of the drastic the statute books dis credited of that fact the large vote boiled for Col Mallory of the many evidences of his wonderful popularity.
 Mr. ONeal besides being successful lawyer is serious of political science His ideals high and he has in marked degree the courage of his convictions And then too he combines with learning deal of and wide human sympathy He will make of the best gov ernors has ad and the line has been long and distinguished.
 But since the gubernaora campaign had to do with s sues rather men, the lesson be drawn from the primary lis as plain as reaching and impressive.

And now that the primary thing of the past will be day or two the complete let all get together and go forth with single purpose to make Alabama the richest and best state in all the south.
