Crenshaw Enters Race.
There appears upon the election
blanks for returns front the state elec¬
tion in October, which have just been
sent out by Secretary of State Phil
Cook, the following;
“For Railroad Commissioner: S. G.
McLendon, democrat; T. C. Cren¬
shaw.”
The interesting feature is the fact
that Mr. Crenshaw is not assigned to
any party, and his is the only name
on the blank which is not so assigned,
The names of the democratic canci
dates nominated at the state
lion in Alacon are all there, follower
by the word, "democrat.” Likewise.
the names of all the socialist candi¬
dates for state house offices also ap¬
pear on the blank followed by the
word, “socialist.” But Mr. Crenshaw,
who, on Thursday, announced as a
candidate for railroad commissioner,
appears ttnassigned to any party. He
was at the capital recenHy and says
lie is running as a democratic candi¬
date, as he feels he has a right to do.
New State Executive Committee.
Chairman A. L. Miller of the state
democratic executive committee, to
"born the state convention left the
matter of naming eleven members
front the state at large, has announced
the names of these members as fol¬
lows;

of Cobb county, E. H. Mason of Glynn
county Reuben R. Arnold of Fulton
county. Fuller E. Callaway of Troup
county, Boykin Wright of Richmond
county, Robert L. Berner oi Monroe
county.
Attention has been called to the
tact that in naming tnese eleven mem¬
bers, the first, eighth and ninth con¬
gressional districts were ignored,while
two members each were named from
the second, Knight of Berrien and
Bush of Miller; two from the sixth,

Compulsory Education.
in The past and week a majority ot schools j
towns rural districts were open- |
ed. We want the people to watch
the attendance. See who sends to !
school and who keeps their children >
eat matter of school. A careful study of this j
for this year will convince
you that some law ought to be passed
by the next general assembly requir- j
ing parents to give their children a
fair education.
We are all taxed to support the,
public schools for the good of socie
ty on the supposition that society will
go to school. The only logical result
of compulsory taxation is compulsory
education. l have a right that ray
-'.eighbor shall send his children to ;
school for the public good when I
have been forced to keep open a
school for the public enlightenment.
The purpose of my tax is defeated in
so far as any child is prevented from
receiving its benefits. I am forced to
pay tax to support a school and then
to pay tax to try and punish the
criminal child of the parent who would
not patronize the school.
It seems to me that those who fear
to educate the white child for fear
of educating the negro are assuming I
a fearful responsibility. Elementary
education is granted tinder the consti¬
tution to all because all history has
shown that ignorance is a cure for
no evil, but is the handmaiden of vice.
Give the negro the right kind of ed¬
ucation for the life he is to live, fit
him for life's duties on the farm, in
the shop and in the home and educa¬
tion will help him Much that we
have given him under the name of ed¬
ucation was folly and a snare. But
with all the false teaching ‘he has
made progress and he will make much
more when we lrarn to educate him
in keeping with his life. But all this
a Me tiie question still remains,

High Compliment to Hudson.
One of the surprises of the recent
primary is the fact that Hon. Thom¬
as Hud-on, commissioner of agricul¬
ture, ran ahead oi the other state
house officers who had no opposition
10,000 votes.
The other state officers at the capi
tol are a little, nonplussed to under¬
stand how it happened. "Dazed” would
more nearly describe their contrition.
The agricultural commissioner's
vote is more than 10,000 above that
of the attorney general, secretary of
state, state treasurer, prison commis¬
sion and the associate justices of the
supreme court.

Railroads Caught Napping.
The railroads of the state will have
to come across with their proportional
share of the tax money for local
schools districts, where their lines run
through such districts, and that, too,
notwithstanding a former supreme
court decision that relieved them of
this tax.
Tlic school adherents stole a march
on the roads and got around the
court's interference by having the re¬
cent legislature enact a law eliminat¬
ing these objections, and now the rail¬
road i must "come across” just like
any ordinary tax payer.
Some Improvement in Cotton.
Crop conditions in Georgia have im¬
prove! somewhat during the last week
and are more favorable than they
have been for some time. The improv¬
ed weather conditions, while they
came in time for better results at the
close of the season, were too late to
bring the Georgia crops up to the
usual standard. The cotton in many
parts of the state is small, with scant
yield, and even in tetany places where
there is a large weed, the bolls are
scarce. Picking is general now over
southern and middle Georgia, and has
begun in some sections of north Geor¬
gia. There has been nothing to change
the 70 per cent average put upon the
Georgia crop last week by the depart¬
ment of agriculture.

Negro Cooks Apply Boycott.
In a published communication, a
prominent business man of Columbus
urges the ladies of that city to have
an experience meeting at which the
subject for discussion will be tlie un
vcllab'.e negro cooks and other serv¬
ants. Hi says that the negro cooks
have viitually formed a union in the
shape of their societies, and when an
Impudent negro servant is "fired” she
reports it to the soe» ty, and the lady
is practically hovcotted, so that she
finds it very difficult to got any serv¬
ants. tie thinks that tho ladies of the
city should deal with the servant prob¬
lem in an organized, determined way.

cook took a vacation, and while she
was gone his wife was in charge of
the kitchen, with the result that there
was a saving of $40 to $3(1 in the gro¬
cery bill that month.

United States Commissioner in Alabama
Renders Decision cf Far-Reaching
Importance.
A decision of great interest and im
pouance was made recently by United
S'/ies Commissioner John A. Elmcre,
at "fontgomery, Ala., where he dis¬
charged Frank Young of the Louisville
and Nashville railroad, who, it was
charged, had violated the law of the

pb||| Commissioner until they had Elmore repudiated held that the
the law was in conflict with the con¬
stitution of the United Stales. It i3
possible that the test of the law will
be carried to a higher court.
Thu charge made against Mr. Young
was that on hiring B. A. Nesmith, as
a telegraph operator Mr. Young re¬
quired of him that he sign a written
agreement not to become a member of
the Order of Railway Telegraphers.
This was declared by the plaintiff in
this case, the United States, to be in
violation of the act approved June 1,
1898, which seeks to forbid the making
of any condition as necessary to the
employment of any one by common
carriers acting under the direction of
the interstate commerce commission.
It was, in effect, argued by the at¬
torney A the United States that Mr
Young iHd been guilty of blackmail¬

ANALYSIS OF COTTON
Made by Secretary Hester, Showing
Value of Crop, Increase of Mills in
South and Their Takings.
The annual report on the United
States cotton crop for 1905-06, issued
by Secretary Hester of the New Or¬
leans cotton exchange, Tuesday, is
summarized as follows:
He puts the cotton crop of 1905
06 at 11,345,988 bales, a decrease of
2,219,897 under that of 1904-05.
He says that compared with last
year in round figures Texas, includ¬
ing Indian Territory, has fallen off
558,0<M) bales. The group known as
other gulf
* ' "" * v Ar!
see, Misso
Kansas has decreased 1,431,000 and
the group of Atlantic states ( Alaba¬
ma, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Kentucky and Vir¬
ginia), has lost 231,000.
lie puts the average commercial
value of this crop at $30.66 per bale,
against $16.31 last year and the total
value of the crop at $0461,720,434
against $628,195,359 last year. He
states that while this crop was prac¬
tically 2,200,000 hales less than that
of last year it sold for $12,252,075
more.
lie gives details of prices, showing
that taking the cotton belt as a whole j
the highest figure for middling pound, during reach- j j
the year was 12 l-8c per
ed in December, 1905, and the lowest \
9 5-16 in August, 1906, and the aver- j
age value per pound was 11 7-100 |
compared with 8 9S-100 cents last
year. |
He puts the average weight per j :
bale at 510 91-100 pounds, showing a ;
decrease under last year of 467-100 !
M* Hester makes the actual growth I
for the season 11,161,000 and says
that the last report of the census
bureau of cotton ginned does not cover
this year's entire growth, that even
with due allowance for old cotton ca>
red over the ginner’s returns seem
short by several hundred thousand
bales of the actual crop.
He estimates the spindles in the
south at 0,760,192 old, idle and not
complete, against 9,205,949 last year. ;
The net gain in the number of south- ;
ern mills over last year has been 17, |
making the total now 794. Of these
operation during '
741 have been in
the year, 20 are idle and 33 are in i
course of erection, 14 old and out
of date concerns which ceased busi¬
ness have been crossed off the list.
The consumption has been divided as j
follows:
Alabama 239.8S5, increase 16,013.
Arkansas 3.372, increase 132.
Georgia 514,673, increase 31,338. j
Kentucky 28,371, increase 2,529.
Louisiana 17,697, increase 3,621.
Mississippi 41,298, increase 1,170.
Missouri 7,240, increase 779.
North Carolina 694,405, increase 92,-
253.
South Carolina 666,715, increase 41.
Tennessee 58,402, increase 66,955.
Texas 36,896, increase 8,123.
Virginia 65,271, increase 6,260.
Totals 2,374 255, increase 210,720.

Miner’s Home Wrecked; Two Killed
Seventeen Badly Hurt.
A.s the result of a terrific explosion,
in the home of John R. Bell, a miner
living near Republic, Ala., 12 miles
west of Birmingham, early Thursday
morning, Bell and his wife are dead,
Pried Bell, their 15-year-old boy, prob¬
ably fatally hurt, their daughters,
Maude and Lilly, aged 12 and 9, re¬
spectively, slightly hurt, two board
eis badly hurt, and a dozen persons,
living in adjoining houses scratched
and burised. Bell’s home was blown
into atoms and dwellings on both
sides almost wrecked.
An oi) stove caught on fire and Bell
threw water on it. This caused the
stove to explode and set the room
afire. The fire reached four cases of
dynamite and 225 pounds of black
powder in the house, and caused the
, nal -„ explosion, which killed two and
injured about seventeen others.
Bell's occupation was that of head¬
ing the driver in the mines, and he
used much explosives, which he kept
in the house for convenience. The
explosion was felt for a radius of
many iniies.
