GOVERNMENT COTTON' ESTIMATES WITHOUT BENEFIT.
The crop reporting board of tbe bureau of statistics of the depart-
j raent of agriculture Tuesday announced Its estimate of the yield of cotton
In bales for the season of 1900*7. The reason for the issuance of an cs*
{tluate of a crop of cotton has never been satlsf&ctorily explained. There
{arc many reasons why the government should not Issue an estimate, chief
I of which Is Its inability to come within a reasonable number of bales of
i t ho actual yield, and Instead of being of benefit to the farmer, these esti-
j mates do liim a great injury. In that they leave him at the mercy of the
| speculator.
' The government never over-eBtimajis a crop; therefore, Its estimates
leave the speculator, especially those bearishly Inclined, the right to add
a million or more bales to all estimates Issued for tlie purpose alone of
depressing prices.
The "talent" jumped on Tuesday's estimate on the theory that with the
| usual addition for nn under-estimate, a crop of over 13,000,000 bales had been
produced, and that prices prevailing befqre Its publication were entirely
too high. As a result, the remainder of the crop of contract cotton was
reduced $300 per contract.
The actual stuff declined in most markets for the lower grades, but
good grades were unchanged.

THE CRISIS IN FRANCE.
There Is a crisis Ih France. The condition of affairs presents an acute,
ness that wo of the l.’nlted States cannot appreciate fully because we have
never known that rivalry in temporal affairs between the church and the
state which lias existed In European countries.
The trouble In France, is n momentous, a vast, an epochmaklhg event.
It represents a warfare of the French govcrnlhcnL and the Holy Konian
cburcli. There have been such warfares before; Should France succeed In
carrying her point In this battle, it wllh doubtless be tbe last of the
great politico-religious conflicts.
To sketch briefly the Incidents leading up to the trouble:
The associations law, by which the government assumes ownership of
ecclesiastical property in each parish and diocese, was put into effect Tues
day. It was the evident intention of the new premier, M. Clemeno6au, and
M. Hrland. minister of education and public worship, that this assumption
should tie only a formality and that, upon the making of declarations, ac
cording to the act of 1881, by the priests and the laity the churches might
be used by the congregations as before. This statute of 1S81, relating to
assemblages, which is more Ilian twenty years old, had never eansed any
protest from the Vatican.
Cardinal Lecot, the leading French prelate, last week Instructed the
priests tn Ills archdiocese to make this declaration. At that time It was
thought .that this would Insure an amicable settlement of the impending
trouble.
However, on the next day, the Pope sent to Cardinal Lecot a message
Dr. Thomas stirred up a shouting j forbidding the priesthood to make these declarations. Cardinal l.ecot could
mob of small boys and a curious crowd do nothing more or less than transmit the Pope's flat to the clergy,
of, men and women Sunday afternoon, j. Then, it became a necessity for the French government to put Into
They swarmed around him .with more | cffcct lts Se , mrat ion law.
M. Clemenccau lias stated that no alternative remained for him—that
France could not forfeit her national character and independence by alter
ing the will of the people ut the behest, expressed or implied, of a
foreign power. France could not tolerate the expression of a superior
authority within its borders. And the message of the Pope amounted prac
tically to ft command to the priesthood and the laity to violate the civil
law of the laud.
In other words. 1t Is merely a conflict between the will of the Pope and
the expressed will of the people of France, who aro If$d by *M. Cloiuenccuu.
the strongest and most, mastorful figure in French public life today.
The eventualities have been niark#d by sensational episodes—and the
struggle will hold the attention of the world for many days to* come.
The Helicopter*.
Ho! The bollcoptcrc!
That most distinguished former At
lantan. whose residence may now be
put as the ethereal blue—Dr. Julian P.
Thomas, of course—has again startled
little old New York.
John F. Gay nor, Jr., non of the fa
mous Federal prisoner who Is confined
tn the Bibb county Jail at Macon wait
ing for action on the appeal of hls case
from Judge Speer’s court to the United
States circuit coqit of uppeals at New
Orleans, is in Atlanta stopping at the
Piedmont.
Since his father has been confined In
tbe Macon Jajl, young Gaynor spends
most of his tlme.ln that city, and Is also
frequently in Atlanta.
Although his father and Benjamin D.
Greene have not quarters ns good ns
those furnished In the Piedmont to j
young Gaynor for so much per, they are
good at tljat, and considerably better
than a large nunfber of people have
who live'outnide of-Jail bars.
the two prisoners receive their friends
In the Jail yard and they amuse them
selves playing cards and in other Inno
cent ways. .
They use one of the hospital cells for
their sleeping apartments and these
cells are not like th* cages Into which
the common herd Is thrust. They are
nicely fitted up, and save for the steel
bars. arc.not unlike apartments In a
hotel. ... '
That they may not be locked up for
safe-keeping always, these two pris
oners employ a deputy marshal as a
chaperone, as It were, and he Is In at
tendance upon them at all times. It’s a
good thing for all parties, as they pay
this deputy well.
When the Bibb Jail was stormed by
the mob seeking Henry Few's, the negro
prisoner who afterwards was brought
to Atlanta for safe-keeping, Greene and
Gaynor mingled about with the att^ck-
L’ntll It w;a« published in the news- j ing croft'd ftjid witnessed the work of
papers, the two prisoners had “a swell! destruction. It is said that some mem-
time" In Macon, and in company with j bera of the mob offered them their lib-
a specially hired United Htates deputy {erty and It was further charged that
marshal, took in the ball games of the
.South Atlantic League and frequently
rode about Macon in carriages.
But this got into the papers and
United States Marshal Georgo F. White
put a stop to It. But even at that, they
have an easy life In the county Jail In
-Macon. It Is none of the Federal grub
for theirs. Their meals aro prepared
by a chef, if you please, and they are
sent from a hotel. In the summer time
the guns and rifle* belonging to the jail
were hidden under the mattresses in
the Greene and Gaynor cells. This was
so the mob wouldn’t get them.
They receive visitors at their apart
ments In the Jail and they enjoy them
selves tybout as much as If they were
stopping at the Hotel Lanier .Instead of
at the counts* jail.
But, then, they have money—money
to throw to the birds.

This Is Dr. Thomas' latest Invention.

a propeller or puller and Is driven by
an elght-horsc power gasoline motor.
Dr. Thomas alts proudly on a bicycle

that he looks like a baseball catcher's

Dr. Thomas say* hls hcllcoptere is
an experiment to determine tlie rota-
tlons existing among horse-power,
faas, lifting power and a few other
things. When these various problems
aro solved, he says, tbe Idea Is to put
them in practlco in connection with a
gas bag or an aeroplane.
Dr. Thomas declares the hcllcoptere
Is a machine bullded for the purpose
of testing out new scientific theories.
But. If It Is only a contrivance for
tbe gathering of a crowd and (he se

has succeeded wonderfully well so far.

persons everywhere. Every
advanced for public discussion, is eagerly seized upon for what It Is worth
In throwing light ti|ion this perplexing theme of "where must laborers he
secured (o meet the demands of a rapidly growing South?"
There Is a close connection between foreign Immigration nnd the
negro qtieatlou inasmuch as the negro docs not hold tho place in the heart
of.the South he oncp did. Hls growing Indifference and Indolence wherein
labor Is concerned, either lu our cities or upon our farms, has formed a
breach between the races which seems to widen with every succeeding
year, and force* him more and more into the background lo make room
for the more Industrious and worthier class of laborers ns nre hound in the
ever-increasing stream of Immigrants from different pans of Europe. These
new nephews of L'ndc Sam. who wore admitted during the past twelve
month*, number more than u million. The presence of this vast army of
people In the United States is scarcely felt In the South where they arc
so badly needed, because these Immigrants, being for the most part day
laborers, do not take kindly to agriculture as did a great mauy of them sev
eral years ago who, being ambitious to become farm owners, settled
upon some of our cheap lands and rapidly became Americanized. They now
seem disposed to crowd Into the cities mid mining districts instead of Into
the cotton fields of tho South to fill tbe vacancies left by the negroes who
have swarmed Into our large jtltlen.
The state of New York gels more Immigrants than any other; I’emmyl-
vania comes next on tho list because of Its large number of coal mines. The
large number fff Immigrants coming to this country every year la made up Spools
of auch n motley collection of pooplo, that a distinction must necessarily he
made In receiving them ns citizens of this republic.
The purpose of the forctgti commission of immigration is to select
the most desirable class of these foreigner*, shutting out the criminal ele
ment and thoso likely to be niDleted with contagious diseases. This com
mission also looks to the scattering of their bulk, thereby preventing a
congesting of our big cities while tending to Induce more of them to settle
In the rural districts, where they are most needed.
Statistics show that the Scandinavian Immigrants are the heat edu
cated. while those from Denmark. Norway and Sweden come next in intelli
gence nnd Industry. The overcrowded condition of our big cities, especial
ly New York, by these immigrants, is due to the fact that the greatest bulk
of our foreign immigration lands at that point, where they join their friends
who have come before them, and who have probably written for them to
come. And thus they remain, entirely ignorant of opportunities to do bet
ter elsewhere.
Many of them fall into the hand* of employment agencies ami arc mis
led. and for this reason the Immigration coninilasion recommends that each
state. have a representative to-meet immigrants upon landing In New
York, that the especially desirable once can bo aided In locating In the
most advantageous manner, both to themselves and to their employers.
It has been suggested by tbe commission of Immigration that ports for
the landing of these immigrants he established at Now Orleans and Galves
ton. The Idea is an extremely sensible and timely one, and is worthy
of serious consideration by those who would turn the tide of Immigration
toward these Southern state* to aid In their fciduatrlal growth ami develop
ment. •
