Presidency of the University

Nobody knows who will become president of the University of Alabama,
 but I feel sure that a high-class man will be selected" said a prominent member of the alumni association.
 q understand that the trustees arc determined to place al the head of the institution a man of recognized ability, both as an educator and as "a business executive. In order to get the right sort of man the trustees will provide a larger salary than has been
 paid. The salary has been too small
 less than s4O00 I would not be sur prised to see the new president re-
 ceive 5000 or s1oOoO The fact is that
 nowadays men of large capacity and wide reputation command big salaries
 in any business or profession.
 q was in hopes the trustees could induce Col. William c. Gorgas, U. S. A. chief sanitary officer in the Panama canal zone, to accept the presidency of the university. I learn that the po- sition has been rendered him. It was thought that sentiment might cause him to give up his present high office for the university. His father was president and his esteemed mother is now librarian at the university. It
 would be asking too much of Colonel
 Gorgas to leave the army for this edu- cational work, but the trustees were counting, I believe, on Congress pass ing a bill placing him on the retired list with his present rank and the
 usual retired pay, because of his emil nent public services, notwithstanding the fact that he is seven years under the retirement age. But I am told by those who are intimate with Colonel Gorgas that he will remain in the army. In the medical corps he is next in rank to the surgeon general, and in two or three years he will succeed to that DO. sition with the rank and pay of a brig adler general
 "The Rev. pr. Stagg has strong back ing for the university vacancy and is still being considered. Among the others who are prominently mentioned are Dr. Palmer of Montevallo and Pro- lessor Denny of Washington and Lee at Lexington, Va. Dr. Alderman, the
 head of the University of Virginia, has been mentioned in connection with the presidency, but he is out of the ques- tion He receives a large salary where he is, and is greatly appreciated. He
 has done a valuable work for the
 University of Virginia"

 MORE ABOUT MARK TWAIN.
 It is stated on very good authority that something like 23O books about Mark Twain have been written. Among the late contributions to this number is a biography by Archibald Henderson. Al though it would seem that everything has been said that could be said about the greatest humorist of modern times, he was a man of such unique personality, witha1 so broadly human and so ripe in experience that his talents are poor in- deed who cannot present Mark Twain in different attitude, or show him in a new
 light. MT Henderson in his book under takes task of love and admiration, treating of his subject as the man, the humorlst. the world-famed genius and the philosopher, moralist and socialist. Some
 interesting "reminiscences of Mark Twain are included and the whole book reveals sincere appreciation. The illustrations by Alvin Langdon Coburn, both in auto chrome and monochrome, are noteworthy. The Frederick A. Stokes company are the publishers. PAUL COOK.

AIabamn,s Big Cotton Crop

Reports from different parts of the
 state continue to indicate record
 breaking cotton crop. Conservative men
 who are used to making estimates on
 cotton say that Alabama will certainly
 make a new high record this year. They
 figure on between 1,6OO, 900 and 100000
 bales. Up to this time Ala bamas larg-
 est crop was between 1,400,000 and
 100000 bales. There has been an in-
 creased acreage in nearly every county
 of the state, and the splendid condition
 of the crop is not confined to any par
 ticular locality or county.
 In speaking of Jefferson county cot ton, MT. w. S. Brown, who keeps in touch with agricultural conditions here abouts, said yesterday: 'The crop around Birmin gham is in unusually fine condition. While the season is not yet far enough advanced for cotton to be
 absolutely safe from injury, we will have a bumper crop. The increased acreage in Jefferson county is, l would say, from 10 to 15 per cent. A farmer told me this week that the increase in acreage was 100 per cent. He was over enthusiastic anu HIS tStiDidtt Ol dIIc- age was, of course, exaggerated. But everybody agrees that we are going to have a great crop"
 Jefferson county and the counties bordering on it form the territory inn medately tributary to the Birming- ham market. This is known as tho local or wagon, crop territory. It some times yields 12 900 bales and MT Brown thinks it will go to 1000 this sum mer. Jefferson county alone will prob ably make 5000 bales.

perished when dynamite wrecked the
pier Of the Central Railroad of New
