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. * PRISONERS IN NAME ONLY; GREENE & GA YNOR ENJOY LI EE IN JAIL AI MACON John F, usynor, Jr., son of the fa mous Federal prisoner who Is confined In the Bibb county jail at Macon wait ing for action on the appeal of his case from Judge Speer's court to the United States circuit court of appeals at New Orleans, is In Atlanta stopping at the Piedmont.

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.

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 for the more Industrious and worthier class or laborers as nro bound in the Dr. Thorns* declares the hellcoptere | evoi-tncrcaslng stream of Immigrants from different parts of Europe.

A paper now' gone from ibis earth ;md Into the shades of Immortality—but | m< ‘ n ’ new nephews of Uncle Sain, who were admitted during the past twelve mouths, number more than a million. The presence of this vast army ut people In the United States Is scarcely felt In the S9111I1 where they are so badly needed, because these Immigrants, being tor the most port day- laborers. do not tnke kindly to agriculture ns did a great many of them sev eral years ago who. being ambitious to become farm owners, settled upon some <|f our cheap lands and rapidly become Americanized. They now seem disposed to crowd luto the cities and mining districts Insteud of Into the cotton fields of the Houth to fill the vacancies left by the negroes who have swarmed into our large cities. Tho state of New York gets more immigrants than any other; Pennsyl vania comes next on the list because of Its large number of coal mines. The largo number of Immigrants routing to this country every year la made up of such a motley collection nf people that a distinction must necessarily he made in receiving them aa citizens of this republic. The purpose of the foreign commission of immigration is to select the most desirable class of these foreigners, shutting out the criminal cle ment and those likely to lie afflicted with contagious diseases. Tills com mission slso looks to the scattering of their Imlk, thereby preventing a congesting of our hlg cities while tending to induce more of them In settle iu tha rural districts, where they are most needed.

Tho overcrowded condition of our big cities, especial ly New York, by these Immigrants, is due to the fact that the greatest hulk of our foreign Immigration lands at that |ioint. where they Join their friends who have come before them, ami who have probably written for them to coinc. And tints they remain, entirely Ignorant of opportunities to do bel ter elsewhere. .Many of them fall into tire hands of employment agencies and are mis led, and for this reason the immigration commission recommends that cacli state have a representative to meet immigrants upon landing In New York, that the especially desirable ones can be aideri in locating in the most advantageous manner, both to themselves and to their employers. It has been suggested by the commission of immigration that ports for the landing of these immigrants be established at New Orleans and Galves ton.
