Complete the Count This Week

The census in all cities will be ended
OIL Friday of this week. and If any one
has been overlooked he or she should
write to Supervisor MeEniry at Besserner
at once. 1t would be unpatriotic to ac-
uuiesce in any such oversight. Some will
be overlooked, no matter how alert the
enumerators may be, but no one need
go unrecorded, for the supervisor of this
district stands ready to correct all errors
But action before Fridg IS needed.
As the census nears completion Mem
phis is indulging in wild dreams. 1t pro-
ceeds to discard the remainder of Shelby
county, and to set itself up as a COM
plete congressional district on an ex-
pected population of 100000 The ratio Of
apportionment is 194,1s2, and it will have
TO be increased to 225.OOo or. else many
more seats will have to be placed in the
crowded hall of the House of Represen-
tatives. Shelby county and Jefferson
county may each become congressional
district, but both Memphis and Birming-
ham will have to wait 10 years before
they can cut loose altogether from rural
districts.
But the duty of the hour is to procure
a full count of the people. Other cities
are looking up those who have been over
looked or who have wantonly withheld
their names and evaded the count There
is no excuse for any such action, and it
becomes the duty of every citizen to aid
Supervisor John T. McEniry to make
full count of both city and county.

VIII Ston Crushing Seed

I'VE have stopped the crushing of cot
ton seed at our plant anticipating the
probability of a need for them for re-
planting purposes" said O. II. Bowen,
manager of the Buckeye Cotton Oil COM
pany OF Birmingham yesterday. II have
just read the story from MSetgomery to
the effect that State Commissioner of
Agriculture j. A. Wilkinson expresses
alarm over the scarcity of seed. The
commissioner seems to think that the
present cold spell will kill great deal
of the cotton that is up and that the
farmers generally will be compelled to
replant their crops.
II am afraid that a great deal of the
cotton that is up is killed or will be be-
fore this spell is over. but l feel sure
that there is plenty of seed in the state
for replanting We have a good large
supply on hand, and I believe this is true
of most of the mills of the state
I'VE have had reports from a number
of them today. Most of the mills have sus-
pended crushing and will hold seed for
planting purposes if they are needed. I
ain of the opinion that there will be
plenty of seed if it is found that the
crop now up is killed. though 1 think it is
a wise thing to stop the crushing OF seed
for a few weeks until the needs of the
farmers are known"

IN HOTEL LOBBIES.


1T has been definitely decided by the
navy department that the United States
Atlantic fleet will make cruise to the
Mediterranean next fall" said man in
terested in the navy's movements.
1.-The department has also adopted the
policy of sending home fleets on a for
eign cruise each year. This order Will
be welcomed by the men OF the Atlantic
fleet, as it gives a liberal opportunity
of seeing the wonders and beauty OF
southern Europe at the most opportune
time.
Some years back the United States
navy maintained a regular European
squadron, but the later policy is much
more advantageous. for it gives a larger
number the opportunity of extensive
travel while it does not keep them from
their home ports for too long a period.
mot only will the men visit the sea-
port towns, but as it has been customary
on these foreign cruises to make up tour
list parties they will no doubt see many
inland points of interest. No military or
naval organization in the world has the
interest of it's men more at heart than
the United States as it gives them every
privilege and advantage consistent With
discipline, which Is not at all rigid, and
at the same time paying them very lib
orally, SO the navy today is a profitable
profession"

O'NEAL STOCK ADVANCING

From the Mobile Item.
Gratifying news comes from the middle
and black belt sections of the state with
reference to the candidacy of Hon. EN-

torial nomination, A strong evidence of
the fact that the Mallory forces are weak

lory, who is opposing Mr.. O'Neal. Only
a little while ago the claim was made
that Mr.. Mallory would carry the state
by from $4,000 to 10000 majority. But the
claim, like Uncle Ned's catfish, has
"swunk''. 1t is now only 5000.
Mr. O'Neal will be in Mobile on Mon
day and will address the entire citizen

in his own candidacy On that occasion
there will be a grand parade and every
one Is invited to join in the procession.
Mobilians should not forget the grand
fight Mr.. ONeal made in the last cam
paign-the amendment campaign-and
should give him the best in the house.

THE MELoDIoUs BALALIKA

From the Atlanta Journal
The furore which the mandolin be-
stirred In America, particularly in the
south, some years ago. promises to be
revived by the balalaika, a bizarre
stringed instrument from Russia said
to possess half the witchery of the
violin, all the merriment of the banjo,
and, in addition to these, an indefn-
able. captivating quality of its own.
The balalaika has but three strings.
Two of these are tuned to the same
note, T.: the other is tuned to a.
Both for its Responsiveness and for
the ease with which anyone can learn
to play 1t, the instrument is peculiar
ly suited to popular enjoyment. A bal
alaika can be bought for IS and with
a few trials can be thrummed effect
lively by any one who has an ear for
melody
For many hundred years it has been
the national musicmaker of the peas
ants of Russia. They have danced to
its strings under the summer stars and
through the dreary white winters it
has beguiled their clustering night
times around the cabin fire. And some
thing of the plaintive longing that
marks Russia's tired millions seems to
have passed into it's strings with
softening touch upon their gayety.
From that vast empire many of the
original things of this era's art has
something's of literature, painting,
sculpture and music. The balalaika is
one of them.
In England this instrument has Gre
ated a big sensation within the past
few months. Says the London Mail:
1T is heard in drawing rooms. on
concert platforms, in army mess rooms
hostesses have found that balalaika
band is a greater attraction at a must
tenors.''

Snow In April and the Comet

Twenty states at least shared in the
recent snowfall. and in some of them
cold weather was an unpleasant accom-
paniment. How much fruit has been
killed-how much corn and cotton must
be replanted-how many early vegetables
have been nipped. cannot at present be
stated, but the damage done by the un-
seemIy temperature has been consider
able.
Few, indeed, in Jones valley had wit
messed before yesterday in the closing
week of April snowstorm, but that
spectacle greeted all who came to bust
ness at an early hour. The snow fell
during several hours in the early morn
ing, melting as fast as 1t FELL. and doing
no damage to either fruit or crops. It
stitious stand ready, no doubt, to charge
the unusual occurrence upon the comet.
The comet is distant and It has no lobby
to defend it. It cannot appear in court,
and It is wholly innocent of press agents.
1t is, therefore, natural that everything
out Of the ordinary ehould be "bamed
on the comet. 1t will not mind these
charges of the superstitious It will
whirl right along in its orbit around
the sun-an orbit by the wey that has
an observed record of 200 years standing
This record should relieve it of unjus
charges, but there is no accounting fo
the obliquity of some minds. and it will
simply have to whirl along regardless o
criticism, never approaching nearer t,
the earth than 100000 of miles.

"vILLAGE BLACKSMITH" WAS Z

From the New York Evening Post.
The danger that the merely interest
ing quality in a statement may obscure
its inaccuracy was illustrated In all
amusing manner the other day by the
very general publication in the daily
press through out the country of obituary
notices of certain Thaddeus w. Tyler.
resident of Lynn, Mass, and "the
original" of Longfellow's poetic sub
ject, 1.-THE Village Blacksmith" Soma
of the obituaries went on to say that
Longfellow discussed this poem with
Tyler after he had completed it; also
that the poet read many of his verses
to the mighty man with large and
sinewy hands," and got his opinion
of them. All of this was interesting
and showed us an old poetic friend in
new and grateful light. But, unhap-
PLY, the originator of this obituary,
either through inadvertence or ignor-
ance, supplied the additional informa-
ton that our old friend died at the
age of rs years; and right there ap-
peared a difficulty. For If this mighty
smith was rs when he died he was
born in 1884. But Longfellow's poem
was published in 1s41. Wherefore 1t
appears that If Mr.. Tyler was the
original of the poem, he must have
gone on Sunday to the church and
sat among his boys, and heard the
parson pray and preach, and heard
his daughters voice, singing in the viii
lage choir, when he was about years

DR.. Theodore Copeland, pastor of st.

charges of that city, has been called to
the bedside of his father who has been
critically i'll for some days. DIR. Copeland,

vast Importance, enjoying a large meas
ure of prosperity and growing in man

and elegant improvements.

Decatur'S Sensational Cotton Failure

Unfortunate and distressing as some
features of the failure of Knight, Yancey
& Co., are, yet pity and sentiment should
not be permitted to obscure the fact that
Alabama's good name in other states and
In countries across the sea is to some
extent at stake. Men who out of COM
mercial confidence and faith have paid
drafts against bogus bills of lading will
expect Alabama officers to take steps to
punish the men who have struck COM
merce a hard blow. Thus far no steps
have been taken to punish the men who
brought this shame upon an honest state.
The sorrow that all feel for the firm
that has gone down at Decatur should
not stand in the way of punishment for
any fraud that might have been COM
mitted. The guilty man or men should
Be apprehended and brought to justice.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The spectacle of Porfirio Diaz, who for
a third of century has been the actual
or the virtual president of Mexico. tramp
ing through the mountains and killing
jaguars is at least as much of an inspira-
ton to admirers and emulators of physi-
cal virility as that of Theodore Roosevelt
killing big game in British East Africa.
President Diaz is so years old. He was
the real military hero of the fight against
Macmillan in 1885, He upset the dunn
my successor of Juarez in 1876. He has
controlled Mexico, with all the power of
dictator, since 1877.
Santa Anna. the other "Grand Old
Man" of Mexicos national history. lived
to be ST. and started his last rebellion in
1867, when he was 70 years old. We have
had men powerful in politics after reach
Ing great age in the United States. Here
the pen is mightier than the sword. But
in Mexico conditions are different. The
politician who is a power must be able to
do actual campaigning. Considering that
fact. the long life of Porfirio Diaz may be
regarded as rather remarkable.
