Cotton and Corn In Cool WeathOr

About 20 per cent of the cotton planted in this state had appeared above the sur face to meet the cool days and cooler nights of April. Possibly 50 per cent of the corn planted in this state was in like condition.
 But the temperature that prevailed has changed. Tn the later days of April warm suns and winds are due in this latitude The weather speedily becoming warm, not much attention will be paid to the dam age to young plants wrought by temper atures approaching. the. frost, point.
 Cool nights and days, however, bring no good to tender plants of either corn or cotton. The latter is especially suscepti- ble to injury as it first breaks through the soil and if the cool weather be con tinuous the damage to it is not easily or perhaps ever wholly overcome. The in- jury remains with the plant to harvest time. This, however is a pessimstic view. for the greater part of the new crop is still in the soil, where weather abnormality cannot affect 1t. Commis- sioner of Agriculture Wilkinson says that only 20 per cent of the planting came up while the cool wave fingered in this state. This wave eliminated in a light frost on Wednesday night, and it Is safe to say that hereafter we will have warmer

MERELY POLITE
From tn

From the Walker county News.
 The paid per line" write-up in the Age-Herald Sunday of the Mallory meet ing in Jasper Saturday was enough to make a horse laugh, to say nothing of those of us who were here and saw what was going on. Among the list of dis tinguished democrats CD who did honor to the Dallas candidate were some gen tlemen who are active in republican ranks and some good O'Neal democrats. They only meant to be courteous to the stranger in their midst, as Jasperites al ways are.

The Iron Market

The pig iron market continues dull. There is a tendency to reduce production The Tennessee company is blowing out it's No. 2 furnace at Bessemer, which will leave only two of it's furnaces on foundry iron Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati report says:
 Buying is light and interest in future delivery is small. The only items of note during the week have been buying of low grades by pipe makers, some basic sales and ferro-manganese There has been small line of business in foundry grades, but hardly of sufficient consequence to need recording, except on account of lack of larger buying.
 'It is figured that since the first of the year actual furnace capacity has in creased. but since the 1st of April there has been a tendency both north and south 10 bank furnaces or blow them out rather than continue to make iron at present prices. The range in northern figures iS not great, but in the south has again in- creased between the minimum and maxi mum prices for spot and future delivery.
 Consumption, based on the promptness with which shipments are taken and, in many instances. delivery anticipated, would show that there should be no ac- cumulation of furnace stocks; but the matter of reducing production, which has been going on in the coke regions for some time is now being considered by furnaces with high productive cost who cannot do more than break even at prices now ruling Unless there is an early re- covery, many such furnaces would figure an actual loss. This is going to show up in the month of April and May l will see our rate of production lessened.
 Several inquiries which have come up lately have been more in the nature of testing the market than with view to making actual purchases and have been met with refusals of concessions by sev- eral of the furnaces to which they were submitted. Most of the furnaces have their order books well filled up to the 1st of July and some business even through the third quarter and, with few excep- tions, are not willing to canvass for busi- ness at anything like present prices

MIR. O'NEAL A PARTY MAN

T rum tne Mobile Register.
 u cannot be assumed that all who mads affldavits as to their belief in Mr. o'NeaPs defection from democracv in iss6 were knowingly guilty of slanderins thelr fellow townsman;- but of one fault they are all unquestionablyi guilty. They did not ask Mir O'Neal for the truth They took snap judgment and sought to put MT. o'Neal in the wrong before the people of the state. They proved them- selves unfair fighters and partisans. and so Willing to injure their opponent that they neglected the common courtesy. d,,e rom one man to another We are glad that disposition so unworthy of man.. hood has received it's rebuke: and shall be more glad to know after May ? that men of such disposition belong to the de- feated faction and will have no part in directing the affairs of state.
 MT. ONeals denial of the charge brought against him was printed first in yesterdays Register. It shows that his critics have mistaken the time of his po- litical activity in 1896 and also his words and actions. Mr. ONeal made no speeches in the campaign following the nomination of MT. Bryan, and neither ad- vocated the election of Palmer and Buck her nor denounced MT. Bryan and his candidacy; and as for his vote, he tells Mayor Walker in his telegram:
 I did as a private citizen criticize the Chicago platform in conversation. did, however, as you state when put to the test at the polls, subordinate my indi- vidual views and vote for the Bryan electoral ticket.
 Thus doth MT. O'Neal confound his critics; and so also will he confound all critics when 1t is shown that despite de- traction, he is the democrat his party de- sires. to place in the position of chief ex- ectuive of the. state of Alabama.

A TENNESSEE VIEW

From the Chattanooga Times.
 From indications apparent to the prac- tical observer Mir O'Neal Is going to de- feat Comerism in Alabama by a majority anywhere from 25000 to 10000 They had the good sense not to muddy the issue in Alabama by arbitrary and undemocratic rules governing the primary.

Preparing for the Fourth

Fourth Of July celebrations are every where being talked about" said Presi- dent Jelks Cahaniss of the Birmingham Playground association. "The New York Tribune recently gave a full page to the discussion of substitutes for tke old-time, noisy Fourth. For a mont~ before the Fourth, in accordance with the orders of Mayor Gaynor, no fireworks will be sold in New York city. Yet the small boy must have his Fourth. What shall 1t be?
 Several prominent New York citizens have proposed that there be hundreds of small celebrations in all parts of their city, one in each of the smale. parks, giving the children themselves an oppor- tunity to act out the struggles for lip erty-not only the American struggle, but also Italian, Russian, German, Swiss, according to the locality of the district with brief speeches by popular orators to show the meaning of the events acted out by the children. The singing of pa triotic songs by the children, it is sug gested, should have a prominent part in such open-air celebrations. Children like to march; so hundreds of parades with DdluS at the Hedu are SuSStSleu. these plans are carried out the Fourth will re- main "children's day. even though there be no firecrackers
 ''Kite-fying contests in different parts of the city are suggested. MT. Lee F. Hammer of the Russell Sage Foundation, has suggested that at a given time, per- haps at 12 o'clock noon, all the church bells of the city ring out as the old Independence bell did. that whistles blow for i've minutes, and that promptly at 12 each child release toy balloon with an American flag attached
 Tt has also been proposed that mo- tion pictures of American history be shown in the small parks in the evening. Many other interesting plans are being discussed. fr

 May never have coffers of gold, May never be heard in the councils of

 Synonym for misfortune and bale; May n'er stand apart from the work
