Since early spring the local knights had been working under special dispensation from the grand commander and greatly increased their membership and secured the necessary paraphernalia for degree work.

A Little Cloud

On that day of the publication of the brief comments of President Ripley there were reports from the cotton fields, espe- cially of Texas and Oklahoma. which were nor very encouraging. These reports were reflected in the prices quoted in the cot ton exchange. President Ripley in a line specified the reasons for these somewhat depressing cotton reports, saying that wet weather has retarded the Texas cotton in dLstry. But although President Ripley sometimes is thought to view a situation with less optimism than other railroad managers permit themselves nevertheless he seems not to be discouraged about the promise of the cotton harvest. He has learned that it frequently happens that splendid weather conditions follow unfav- orabe spring weather in the great cotton districts of Texas and Oklahoma.
 These favorable conditions are quite likely to occur in July and August. If they do, there seems to be no reason why the cotton harvest should not match, or approximately match, the wheat har- vest. A fine cotton crop and a record making wheat crop will maintain favor able business conditions in the southwest, and these should react on other parts of the country.

An Expert Foreign Opinion

On the day of publication of President Ripleys brief statement there came from Europe a condensed report of an address made by Arthur von Gwinner, who Is managing director of the Deutsche bank
 at Berlin. The condensed report is spoken of here as having been published at an | opportune moment. The speaker is one of the foremost men of finance of Europe. He | is of expert authority both upon the | theory and Fundamental principles of | banking and also upon practical and technical banking. He spoke as an in- | terna tional financier. His words of mo- milton, 1t Is believed here will attract | attention not only in this country, but | in Great Britain. and upon the continent of Europe. For he asserted that the pres ent plight of the American railroads Is l becoming a menace to the general finan- | cial condition of the world. This Is the | first time the statement has been made that the present day financial extremity
 of the American railroads is an inter-
 national factor of prime importance. This German authority felt justified in saying, as quoted that the American railroads
 have reached state of distress approach 1 Ing calamity and q remedy must be found | for this condition.
 | He cannot be accused of demogogy on | the one hand or of personal interest in | the American railroads upon the other l Moreover. his views have already reached the United States in another form. The
 annual report of the Dtutsche bank. which l is the largest private bank of Germany, contained the following statements
 | American railroad rates are the lowest in the world representing. for instance,
 but a fraction of the English railroad
 rates. and this in the face of the facts that wages in the United States on the
 average are fully twice as high as in Eu- rope"
 I Tn this official statement Is to be dis covered the reason for the explicit com merts of Managing Director Arthur von Gwinner.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST
 MALAR|AL MOSQUITO
Government Expert Outlines Plan at Barbecue Held
 in Lauderdale

Florence, June s.-(Special. )-The senior surgeon of United States marine hospital service, Dr, H. R. Carter, spent yesterday in Lauderdale county, and was here by invitation of pr. w. J. Kernachan. who Is county health officer for this county, and has protected plan to exterminate the malaria mosquito from the Tennes- see valley. especially the section which involves the health of this and adjoin- ing county.
 The affair was very unique-it was held near a negro church, 10 miles west of Florence. Negroes were hosts to an old fashioned barbecue. which was so abund- ant that after 15OO people were fed, wagon loads were carried away Both saxes seemed to vie with the other in harmony, courtesy and good breeding
 John Turnley, a well educated negro. owning 300 acres of river bottom land, was master of ceremonies and gave the invitation to white people to be seated first. Five hundred plates were laid, while the white people enjoyed the din- ner a colored quartet from Burrell uni versity, located at Florence sang.
 pr. w. J. Kernachan briefly stated the object of meeting. and told fths grea anti-malarial campaign inaugurated for the hmapplness and health of all Dr. Carter stated that the elimination of the mosquito was sound. sensible and should be accomplished. when the malaria was gone. then all the dreams of the prosperity of the south would become crystallized in a reality
 He will return in August, spend u month in Lauderdae and make prepara-
 ton to fight the mosquito. thereby de- stroying malaria.
 Dr. w. H. Sanders, state health officer,
 was another one of the speakers present. and pledged the state of Alabama to as-
 sist In this movement.

The Other Side

There is another side to the brief state ment made by President Ripley which is not quite as encouraging. He is quoted as having said that his company will not attempt to make any expansions or Improvements excepting those which are
 imperative. It does not purpose seeking the money market for capital presumably because the approaches of railroad man agers to capital for funds with which to pay for improvements or expansion of property are frigidly received. Capital is furnished in plenty for the refunding of short time notes by new notes having also a short time to run and bearing tempt ing rates of interest. But at present it is not to be persuaded to buy railroad bonds which are at issue for the purpose of securing new capital with which to make improvements and expansion.
 Whatever may be the reason for this it is sufficient for the railroad companies to know that they are not able now to ob- tain new capital either in this country or in Europe.
