GOVERNMENT COTTON ESTIMATES WITHOUT BENEFIT.
The crop reporting board of tile bureau of statistics of the depart
ment of agriculture Tuesday announced Its estimate of the yield of cotton
in bales for the season of 1906-7. The reason for the Issuance of an es
timate of a crop of cotton has never been satisfactorily explained. There
are ninny reasons why the government should not Issue an estimate, chief
of which id Its Inability to come within a reasonable number of bales of
the actual yield, and Instead of being of benefit to the fartger, these esti
mates do him n great-injury, In that they leave him at the mercy of the
speculator. ;
The government never over-estimates a crop; therefore. Its estimates
leave the speculator, especially those bearisbly inclined, the right to add
a million or more hales to all estimates issued for the purpose alone of
dopresalug prices.
The “talent" jumped on Tuesday's estimate on the theory that with the
usual addition for an under-estimate, a crop of over 13,000,000 bales had been
prodoced, and that prices prevailing before 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, hut
good grades were unchanged. *

Ho! Tho bcllcoptere!
Jhat most distinguished former At
lantan, whose residence may now bo
put ae the ethereal bine—Dr. Julian P.
Thomas, of course—has again startled
little old New York.
Dr. Thomas stirred up a shouting
mob of small boys and a curious crowd
of men and women Sunday afternoon.
They swarmed around him with more
eclat than any Oerman band, ilog-flgljt
or fainting woman could arouse.
Their enthusiastic Interest becamo so
great that It took a platoon nf police
men to disperse them so that New
York might he restored to Its nor
mal condition and peacefully engago
In Its favorite Sunday pastime of
rushing the.cau.
The liellcoptere caused it.
THE CRISIS IN FRANCE.
There la a crisis In France. The condition of affairs presents an acute
ness that we of the United States cannot appreciate fully because we have
never known that rivalry In temporal affairs between the church and the
state which has existed In European countries.
The trouble in France Is a moment ouo. a vast, an epoch-making event.
It represents a warfare of the French government and the Holy Roman
church. Thoro have been such warfares before. Should France succeed In
carrying her point In this battle, II will doubtless he Ihe last of the
great politico-religious conflict*.
To (ketch 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. Clemoucoau, and
M. Brland, minister of education and public worship, that tills assumption
should lie-only a formality ami that upon the making of declarations, ac
cording to the net of 1881, by the priests and the Inltv the churches might
bo used by tho congregations ns before. This statute of 1881. relating to
assemblages, which Is more than twenty .tears old. hnd never caused any
protest from the Vatican.
Cardinal Leeot, the leading French prelate-, Iasi week instructed the
priests In his archdiocese to -make this declaration. At that lime it was
thought that this would Insure an amicable settlement of the Impending
trouble.
However, on the next day, the Pope sent, to Cardinal I .cent a message
forbidding the priesthood to make those declarations. Cardinal l-ecot could
do nothing more or less Ilian transmit the Pope's fiat to the clergy.
Then, It became a necessity for the French government to put Into
effect Its Separation law.
M. Clemeuceau has slated that no alternative remained for him—that
France could not forfeit her national hharacter and Independence by alter
ing the will of Ihe people at Ihe beheat, expressed or implied, of a
foreign power. France could not tolerate ihe expression of a superior
authority within its borders. And the message of the Pope amounted prac-
tleally to a command to the priesthood ibid the laity to violate the civil
law of the land.
In other words, It Is merely a conflict between the will of the Pope and j
Greene have not quarters os good
those furnished In tbe Piedmont to
young Gaynor for so much tier, they are
good at that, and considerably better
than a large number of people have
who live outside of Jail bars.
Until.it was published in the news
papers, the two prisoners had "a swell
time” In Macon, and In company with
a specially hired United States depu'v
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 George F. White
put a stop to It. But even at that, they
have am easy life In the county Jail In
Macon. It is none of tbe Federal grub
for theirs. Their meals are prepared
by a chef. If you please, and they are
sent from a hotel. In the summer time
chaperone, os It were, and he ts In at
tendance upon them at all times,
good thing for all parties, us they pay
this deputy well.
Whom the Bibb jail was stormed by
the mob seeking Henry Fews, the negro
prisoner who afterwards was brought
to Atlanta for safe-keeping, Greene and
Gaynor mingled about with the attack
ing crowd and witnessed the work of
destruction. It is sold that some mem
bers of the mob offered them tlielr lib
erty and It was further charged that
the guns and rifles belonging to the jell
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 about as much as If they were
stopping at the Hotel Lanier Insteud of
at the county jail.
But, then, they have money—money
to throw to the birds.

NEW LABORERS FOR THE SOUTH.
Like the race problem In these Southern states, the question of foreign
Immigration Is ever with us and demanding the attention of thoughtrul
persons everywhere. Every line written upon the subject, every theory-
advanced for public discussion. Is eagerly seised upon for what It Is worth
In throwing light upon this perplexing theiue of "where must laborers be
secured to meet the demands of a rapidly growing South?"
There Is a close connection between foreign immigration ami the
negro question inasmuch us the negro docs not hold the place In the heart
of the South he once did. Ills growing Indifference and Indolonce wherein
labor Is concerned, either In our cities or ti|ion our farms, has formed a
breach between the races which seems to widen with every succeeding
year, and forces him more nnd more Into the background to make room
