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. PRISONERS IN NAME ONLY; GREENE Zf.GA YNOR ENJOY LIFE IN JAIL A 7 MACON 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. SATILLA PREPARING FOR FIRST VOYAGE The steamer Sntllln, of tin* Brunswick Hfrahtsbip Company, tied up Wednesday at her berth, Wcr 00. at the foot of Nine teenth street. North river. Now York, and began receiving freight for Atlanta und Mouthem points. will sail for Bruns wick ou tin* evening of l*ecember 15. Tbo boat has been thoroughly overhauled and put In excellent condition for service between New York. Brunswick and Ha vana. This eompauy will establish offices In Atlanta at a very early date, and this city will be made ns nearly as possible a seaport. President Harry Atkinson, of the Atlanta, Birmingham mid Atlantic, Is now In New.York, supervising the departure of the vessel on her uinldcn trip.

Their enthusiastic interest became so great that It took a platoon of police men to disperse them so that New York might he restored to Its nor mal condition and peacefully engage in its favorite Sunday pastime of rushing the can. The hellcoptrre caused It. This Is Dr. Thomas' latest Invention. It Is, In brief, a wind wagon, a wlngdd screw. It Is described as lut ing gray in color and looking like an overgrown tricycle with a big fan on the forward cud. This fan Is really a propeller or puller and Is driven by an elght-horsc power gasoline motor. Dr. Thomas alts proudly on a bicycle Mddle so placed In the licllcopterc that he looks like a baseball catcher's face, behind the mask. 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 curing of much publicity. Dr. Thomas has succeeded wonderfully well so far. The helicopter* Is a winner. With the locating of the agricultural school in tbe Sixth district the big task Is complete, with the exception of the Ninth district, which will not ho de termined until February. With the cash bonuses, the valuable lands and the equipment donated It is conservatively estimated that the state will own property valued at between 1700,000 and <800,000 when all the schools are established.

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. • Much ha* already been written gnd said u[ion the subject of inqiortlng SPOILED MEAT SOLD; j-SNAKES IN PARADISE," INVESTIGATION MADE; SUBJECT Of LECTURE FiiibolUoiieit by the i«Ue In price *>f hair’cut a, eggs, washing, clothes press ing. coal nml other luxuries, It Is Haiti that certain meat men of the city have determined to make their little addi tional profit, too.
