Governors Cotton Convention

It is difficult to see what the gov ernors of southern states can accom- plish when they meet at New Or leans on November 30. The junket is, however, a mild one, and it may be able to make some recommenda- tions, especially as to next years crop, that will be sound if not useful. The crop of the present cotton year cannot be controlled by any cotton convention held as late as Novem- Der 30.
 If the governors can devise way to handle next years crop so that the marketing of it will be evenly spread over the entire cotton year it would put in the pockets of pro- ducers a great deal of money, there by insuring the prosperity of the states they represent and enabling the country to maintain big "bal- ance" of trade.
 It would be a waste of time to tell the farmers how many acres they should plant in cotton. There is no remedy in sight beyond the use of warehouses and bank money in ex- tending and averaging the marketing process until it covers the cotton year. The taking care of distress" cotton is the first step in this propo- sition, and big one it is, for the south is full of distress" cotton in the first three months of each cotton yaar

UNDERWOOD 4 CANDIDATE

From the Boston Globe.
 It now seems likely thta Oscar w. Un- Gerwood, chairman of the House ways and means committee, will be presented to the democratic national convention for the nomination for President, and will have behind him not only the delegates from Alabama, but also some from other southern states. MT. Underwood, we are assured, is doing nothing to further his own campaign, but his friends with his consent are active and announce that tiey are making a favorable impression.
 It looks more and mora as if the dem ccratc national convention would be asked to consider good number of can Gidates, aside from the usual showing of favorite sons, and in a free for all contest, in which Harmon, Wilson and Clark now promise to be conspicuous, it will do no harm to add man Of the force end ability of MT. Underwood. It is now 8 years since the south has been permit led to name a candidate for presidential honors Half century of exile from the highest honor in the land ought to- be a long enough penance to meet the ex- actions of the most extreme judgment.

Texas the Chief Mule state

Missouri is trying to explain away her loss of rank as the chief mule state in the Union. She claims to raise as many mules as in the glori- ous past, and Texas, which is now the chief mule state, has simply out grown her. Texas is broad, high and deep, full of good citizens and mule raisers.
 Missouri simply claims that she still grows more mules to the acre than any other state. Texas has more acres, hence she grows more mules. Missouri is, however, not dis couraged. She will go on raising all the mules she can, even if she must hand over first place to Texas.
 Alabama should get into the mule raising contest. Our corn boys are growing plenty of corn, and plenty of corn should lead to plenty of home grown mules. It does not, however. Alabama holds place very near the foot of the mule list.

AT THE TOMB OF NAPOLEON

Heinrich Heine: "Reisebilder.'
 The Emperor is dead. On a waste island in the Atlantic ocrean is his lonely grave, and he for whom the world was too narrow lies quietly. un- der a little hillock, where five weeping willows hang their green heads and a little brook, murmuring sorrowfully, nipples by.
 Britannial the sea is thine. But the sea has not water enough to wash away the shame with which the death of that mighty one has covered thee. Not thy windy Sir Hudson--no, thou thysef vert the Sicilian bravo with whom per jured kings bargained, that they might revenge on the man of the people that which the people had once inflicted on one of themselves And he was thy guest, and had seated himself by thy hearth.
 Until far ages the boys of France will sing and tell of the terrible hospitality of the Bellerophon, and when those songs of mockery and tears resound across the channel the cheeks of every honorable Briton will blush Some day,
 
 and Britannia will be no more the peo- pie of pride will be humbled to earth, Westminsters monument will be broken, and the royal dust which they inclosed forgotten. And St. Helena is the Holy Grave, whither the races of the east and of the west will make their pilgrimage in ships with flags of many a color, and their hearts will grow strong With great memories of the deeds of the worldly savior, who | suffered and died under Hudson Lowe, as it is written in the evangelists, Las Cases. O,Meara and Automarchi. Strange A terrible destiny has all | ready overtaken the three greatest ene- | mics of the emperor. Londonderry has cut his throat, Louis XVII has rotted away on his throne and Professor Saal- l field is still professor in Gottingen.

THE BRASS MoULDERs' SECRET

Emery R. Hayhurst in The Survey
 That workmen following one of our most skilled trades should be subject to a disease which for ages they and their predecessors have kept, in a measure, secret among them, and of the existence of which not one physician in 100 has be- come aware. seems truly paradoXical in tEis day of medical enlightenment and ccnuuest Emphasis is added to this cir cumstance when 1t is considered that the brassman's secret is his own undoing, usually before he has reached the prime of life
 The brass industry has an Ill repute, vague in character. It deserves it's sus- Iicious reputation, but not altogether for the reasons commonly surmised. Almost everyone, for instance, has the idea that wound caused by piece of brass is un- usually poisonous, or that to suck or | swallow brass in any shape would be to court poisoning; but this is erroneous. Also the ingestion or inhalation of brass | dust, as among metal polishers and buff | fers, has no more serious consequences, so far as can be proved from the nature | N'NHe composed of iron or coal. It is in one | branch of the brass industry that we find, however, peculiar attending disease. | This is in the melting, moulding or 1 founding of brass, with the consequent inhalation of metallic fumes. The disease $ called brass founders ague." As far back as 1892 an Englishman named Thackrah declared that brass founders, or all who were exposed to the inhalation of brass fumes, were liable to malaria like sickness evinced as chills, fever and su eats. Yet the very fact that the dis ease did not kill the subject on the s2ot, or, in deed, within few days, months, or even years, has kept the | knowledge of it from the public, and, in fact, from the average physician. It is simply a predisposing affiction, which of itself does not kill, does not even re- ouire the physicians attendance, but peves the way for the chronic diseases which later prove fatal.

The substitution of power machinery for hand labor has made agriculture a hazardous industry. Corn shredders. grain separators, gasoline engines, thresh- CTS, cream separators, and other forms of machinery have changed the character of agriculture processes until much of the labor in the industry has become more analogous both in method and in danger to factory work than to earlier agriculture.
 Don D. Lescohier of the Minnesota state bureau of labor in The Survey even says that much of the machinery used is far more dangerous than that used in most factories, for sufficient attention has not yet been paid to guarding it. The public has not known enough about the number arc the cause of accidents on farms to realize that farmers need legal protection against unguarded machines as badly as do factory workers. Prevention is further retarded by the fact that the accidents a.e distributed over so wide an area that 1he persons injured do not combine and eivstallize a sentiment for protection. When five men in factory are killed in a year the operatives DeSlli lo dSh "HS these accidents are happening and how they can be prevented; but when as many occur among the same number of farm CTS they do not realize that they have need to cooperate for protection.
 sixteen fatal accidents, two likely to result in death, S5 serious injuries, and 8e severe ones-a total of 135 accidents were reported from Mnnesota's agricul- ture during the past 20 months, S2 of them, including four fatalities, in the last eight months. The reports for the first F months were especially incomplete, but there is no reason to believe that the rec efds even for the last eight months are net a complete toll of the accidents. The figures given must be considered as illus trations rather than statistics

TO LIVE LONG

1 From the New York Medical Journal. l Tn order to ward off old age we should pay particular attention to the healthy work of the glandular system, notably the l thyroid, the suprsrenals and the pituitary. | IL is wise, therefore, to cut down thessup- ply of red meat, once day being often enough to indulge in that food, and to place it with white meats especially fish. Eggs, milk, cheese and vegetables
 form the best diet
 "A caution is given at this point, to the effect that a man accustomed to large quantities of red meat may miss 1t to such an extent as to bring about severe
 mental depression, itself a powerful cause of premature old age Such a person may indulge in a moderate amount of red meat if he will only take care to avoid the portions rich in nucleins
 ''For the young, on the other hand, such foods are excellent as they provide the very important phosphorus, and are much superior to the vegetables supply ing albumin, such as spinach and peas Alcoholic drinks undoubtedly are prejudi- cial to continued youthfulness, but mild
  middle aged. The immoderate use of to- bacco is also cause Of preeocious de- generation of heart and arteries.
 "For many reasons marriage is coun- seled to those who would live long. To help the skin and kidneys, baths, espe- c:ally vapor baths, are excellent. Wool is advised for underwear in winter, loose mesh cotton for summer. Black bread should replace the fine white bread of the well to do, the latter being rather form of pastry than real bread. Reg uiar and sufficiently prolonged sleep is a precious aid to longevity. not easy to real ize. alas, in the gay life of large city, wherein too, it is hard to secure the dark and quiet room that Is a great help to slumber.
 "A good heredity is of high importance to longevity, but obviously cannot be con- sidered to enter into the possible prescrip- tons of the physicians. The lucky in horitor of sound organs is able to dis port himself as much as he pleases and to eat what he will, in defiance of all the rules to which less fortunate mortals iaust patiently submit.'

tral association can be chosen from any one district.
 The central association cannot dis count brokers notes for carrying stocks or market commodities on a margin. National banks may organ ize savings departments and loan 40 per cent of savings upon productive real estate.
 The chief object of establishing a central bank and 15 district banks is to meet all demands for credit or cur rency, and undue imitation is pro- vided against by taxing it's outstand- ing notes in excess of a given sum.
 The plan should be considered without prejudice. Nelson w. Aldrich is no longer name to conjure with. The plan should, however, be con- sidered without reference to his per sonality. His tariff views are ob- jectionable but his monetary plans are no part of them. It is another subject altogether. The Aldrich tar if stands condemned by public sen timent The Aldrich monetary plan may, however, have more good than evil in it, and it should be dispas- sionately studied by all citizens who desire to see panics prevented in the years to come.

Advertising Birmingham

Albert White of Cairo who was in Bir- mingham yesterday spoke in very high terms of the advertising done by the Chamber of Commerce; q desire" said Mr White, ito say word of praise for the excellent literature which the Cham Der of Commerce is sending from this city. It is very effective and reflects great credit upon those who produced it.
 'The Chamber of Commerce year book reveals the fact that the Birmingham or sanization is a dynamic factor in the con- structive work of your city and that you have a combination of loyalty, civic pride and intelligence which makes your team work invincible.

Tricks of the Horse Trader

i've heard of the ways of the heath- en Chinese" said H. P. Burghard, but for tricks that can't be beat, the Gypsy horse trader takes the hurdles.
 'In Arkansas some years ago traded an old horse with a Gypsey and paid S39 to boot. Some time after that the Gypsey hantered me for trade back and as his horse seemed a good one I swapped with him, paying $50 difference. When the horse was taken to the stable my darkey servant said, 'Bos, dis is old Jim The horse whickered when taken back to his stall I looked him over and found that the Gypsey had painted him a bald face and I had my own horse back at ret cost of S60'

Monetary Reform

The Associated Press transmitted yesterday an excellent summary of the Aldrich monetary measure. As it stands at present it provides for a national reserve association-a bank-having a capital of $30O,OOO,- 900. Its depostors are limited to the government and the banks that hold some of it's stock, for it is to be an institution in part private and in part public and official. Besides the cen tral bank there are to be 15 district banks, and Atlanta has already filed a petition for a district bank repre- senting the southwest.
 The national banks now hold $780, 100000 of 2 per cent government bonds. These are to be converted into 3 per cents when they are ab- sorbed by the central bank of issue That bank will pay franchise tax upon them, thus reducing the inter- est rate to 12 per cent. State banks and trust companies may join the national scheme on even terms.
 The new amendments also relate to the selection of the 45 directors of the central association and also of the district associations. Not more than four directors of the cen

The Cultivation of Lawns

T notice from the news service that the postmaster in Selma Is to have five bushels of blue grass seed to beauti1y the postoffice lawns at Selma said Hugh Seals, the florist.
 T do not think that bluegrass is the hest grass for this soil and climate, al- though under careful handling it may for time look pretty. The best seed to sow is the English rye grass; and even this is a good mixture in the fall with the standard of the south, bermuda. If this seed is sown now on lawns it will come forth in the winter months pretty and green.
 NOW is the time to top dress lawns Tie very best thing is well routed stable manure; it is even better than commer- eial fertilizer.
 "No, I do not think that the lawns need top dressing of lime. as there is a plenty of it in the soil hereabout. How ever, to hasten the absorption into plant life of home made fertilizers, lime Will produce quick results.
 Now is the time to remodel lawns and prepare for reseeding or setting lawns to grass. After the first frost is the best time for planting shrubs, rose bushes, hedges. bulbs and trees, to get the best ard hardest growth

The Iron Market

''There is a noticeably larger demand for iron" say Matthew Addy & Co.,. in theirCinclnnati circular. During the week inquiry has increased and sales have been in fair volume. While October will be far from being a wholly satisfactory month. yet 1t will show a most decided improvement over September.
 "The most significant thing about the irc.n market is the fact that the country is uslng more iron than it is producing. r 'urnace stocks are declining rapidly. There has been remarkable reduction in the past few months in the amount of accumulated iron in the yards of the makers.
 "'rhe only trouble with the iron mar bet mas been oyerproduction, and now it Is very certain this has been stopped and the pendulum has begun to swing in the opposite direction. Some furnaces are
 having trouble in shipping on time, and the demand on tho part of many concerns | for faster shipments on old orders is pressing. The larger melt of iron is shown | i'll the greatly increased demand for coke which is hrmer in price, with the high
 grades in short supply. Pig iron prices as l yet are not influenced by the better sta | tistics of the trade and remain un-
 changed. But they are so low that any
 change except upward is impossible"

KENTUCKY SUSPICION

 When Speaker Champ Clark of Mis- souri was prosecuting attorney of Pike county, an old darky came into his office at Louisiana one morning and, after beating around the brambles for few minutes, brought forth the object of hls visit.
 "Wuzn you bawn in Kaintucky, Ma s Champ ho inquired cautiously

Secretary Wilson's Rumored Resig

Secretary Wilson's benzoate of soda policy stands discredited by the chief executive himself and by all who prefer pure food to the stuff canned by dishonest manufacturers. It is reasonably certain that he will retire from the cabinet before next years campaign is actively begun. He denies present rumors concerning a resignation by saying he has no thought of handing in a resignation "any time soon." Next spring is the more probable time of his departure from the public service.
 The President sustained him againt Pinchot and Glavis, but he did not sustain him as against Dr. Wiley and Dr. Wiley's views con- cerning the pure food and drug law. The general public condemned him in both matters. The chief trouble with him is, he is too old. He seeks the line of least resistance, bred as he was in Iowa politics. He was known in Iowa as the poorest farmer in the state and one of it's most suc- cessful politicians. He is well to- ward 80 years old, and he holds the record in length of service as a cabi- net officer. The country will give him credit for some things accom- plished, but it will never forgive him or his Remsen board for saying that the stomachs of the rank and file are good receptacles for all the benzoate of soda and benzoic acid that greedy manufacturers may see fit to put ir the odds and ends of their plants.
