* < * Waxing Wroth, Republicans Try to Dodge the Issue

TNHE Philadelphia Inquirer is one

 "A candidate for office," says the Inquirer, "when he finds that he is not making headway, frequently raises the cry of fraud. To this low level Governor Cox has stopped. If any of the mud he is now singing sticks anywhere, it will be on his

 YN DGAR ALLAN POE would have en-
 S ijoyed the grim humor in the fa- SS tality that has pursued him even beyond the grave and nearly succeeded in making his last resting place name less here for evermore." The literary world was startled few weeks ago. by the report that Baltimore member or the Poe cult claimed his body was not be- heath the monument in Westminster churchyard, Baltimore. That the lady was misquoted and that it was Poe's original burial place and not his present grave that was in doubt was established after some confusion.
 The whole question brings up the scanty attention America gives to her llt- erati Yet, after all. what is a grave but six feet of mother earth-in West minister Abbey or out of it? The chief issue with Poe is that seventy-one years after his tragic, mysterious death time has at last brought him into his inherl- tance. The stone which the builders re- fused has become the very cornerstone of American literature. and every detail of his melancholy life eagerly read by an awakened public.

Hot Weather Good for Late Planted Crops

~ OPTION and food crops are com
 , ing forward rapidly. This hot weather is worth millions of dollars to the south.
 Cotton production for this year was forecast by the agricultural depart ment yesterday at 12,7S3,000 bales. The forecast last month was 12,519, ,000 bales. The higher the temperature the less damage by the weevil. Worms thrive only in wet, cool weather, and as the heat promises to continue until the equinoctial season arrives, there will be a substantial gain in corn and cotton.
 Last years cotton yield was only 11,239,755 bales. This year it will probably reach 13,000,000 bales. Ala bamas production will be between SOo,0O0 and 9OO,000 bales. But the total crop of the belt should not. be large enough to force prices down to figures below the cost of production. The grower and banker must cooper ate to keep prices on the side of the plowman.
 The condition of the crop on Au- gust 25 last by states, was: Vir- ginia, S1; North Carolina, 79; South Carolina, II; Georgia, 5S; Florida, 57; Alabama, 5S; Mississippi, 60; Louisi- ana, 55 Texas, CT; Arkansas, 75; Ten nessee, 75; Missouri, S3; Oklahoma, S4; California, 80; Arizona, SC.
 Great interest is attached to corn. In June the outlook was gloomy. The excessive rain in many sections washed , the stands of corn away. Conditions were distressing, but the farmers took heart and went resolutely to work for late planting. In July, when headway was seen, the army worm made it's appearance. It was playing havoc when the entomologists came to the rescue. They told of simple way of treating the pests by covering the fields with poison in the form of pow der. This meant arduous work for the husbandman, but he acted prompt ly upon the advice of the experts of the agricultural department and the result was highly successful.
 The country's crop this year will probably go above 3,000,OOO, ,OOO bushels.
 Alabama's corn harvest, it is safe to predict, will exceed the 10000 .OOO bushel mark, which will be doing well for bad year at the start. All food crops are in fairly good condition.

ONE FOR JANE

From the Japan Advertiser.
 Two young women entered a car and found only standing room. One of them whispered to her companions: I'm go- ing to get seat from one of these men," She looked down the row of passengers and selected a very sedate man, who bore the general settled ap- pearance of married man. She sailed up to him and boldly opened fire: My dear Mr. Green, how delighted I am to meet you. You are almost stranger. Will I accept your seat? We'll do feel tired, I heartily admit. Thank you so much" The lsedate gentleman, a total stranger, of course, looked. listened, then quietly arose and gave her his seat, saying: "Sit down. Jane, my girl. Don't often see you out on a washing day. You must feel tired. am sure. How's your mistress?" The young woman got her seat. but lost her vivacity.

 All of which sounds, fine enough, but it has nothing to do with practi- cal politics, and the republican money diggers" are all practical men. Everyone knows that the fi- lnancial interests of the country, which means Wall street, are, bitterly opposed to the democratic party and articularly incensed at the Wilson administration which took away some Of Wall streets cherished privileges Everybody knows that Wall streets interests are identical with the reac- tionary leadership of the republican party, and it would not be human if 1t did not back them to win, with the understanding that the men it supports will do it's bidding.

Too Hot There

Skill for Skill
 In the Cotton Game

TIT would seem strange, were the U reason not, so apparent, that the southern cotton producer allowed the
 crop of 1914 to get away from him
 at such a low figure. War is de- structive. Lord Kitchener told us it would last more than three years. With that warning note in our ears,
 we sold the crop at discount of 50 per cent.
 J. o. Thompson, general manager
 of the American Cotton Association for Alabama, says:
 We are being laughed at all over the world for allowing the bumper
 crop of seventen million bales in the year 1914 to get away from us at a decline of 50 per cent. when, automatically, because of the war, | it should have imm ediately brought 10 per cent advance. Those who bought the cotton and held it re- ceived 800 per cent advance in very short while.
 But it was quite simple. The
 southern farmer had not perfected
 any marketing system. His methods
 have improved, but the selling end is not yet in the form it should be.
 Until it is the producer will find himself more or less at the mercy of the buyer.
 After all is said and done, it is not so much the size of the crop as the ability of the producer to control it's sale that constitutes the crux. Large wheat crops in the west have not lowered the price of wheat, because the westerner, profitng by bitter lessons of the past, built his own~ele vators and so arranged his selling mechanism that the millers have been obliged to come to him instead of his going to the miller.
 No one is going to care for the selling except the producer and those whose interests are tied up in the price which the producer receives. The producer has no right to expect altruistic purchasers. He, wants what he can get; so do they. Skill must be met with skill.

Back Them Up

It seems to me like there are a lot of fellows inS Birmingham who call Themselves regular fellows, and yet when things begin to go the least bit the wrong way they begin to howl" said M. E. Jones.
 Take, for instance. the Barons. There is not a better playing ball club In the Southern League today. Heaviest hitters, best fielders-in fact they have everything ball club could wish. Yet there is bunch of fellows that set up a howl when a few games are lost. Moley has done the same thing sev- eral times during the past two months He is simply letting his team take a little rest A day or so later they will go back in, all working together like clockwork and win half a dozen games. Watch 'em, fellows. Root for them. They are going to win-that is, if you have backbone enough to back them"
