Mir. Charles Dickson will appear at O'Brien's opera house tonight, presenting "Incog.' MT. Dickson has the reputa- tion of being the cleverest light comedian on the American stage. Still very young man, he has attained the position to which he has arrived as the result of talent and unremitting labor. He began at the foot of the ladder when yet a mere boy as utility man in the Brooklyn theater stock company, and after the disastrous fire which destroyed the house joined Robson & Crane's company, where his ability was recognized, and he became the leading man of the company. When Robson and Crane parted company Dickson became member of the famous Lyceum stock company, and during his stay with them established the reputation which he now enjoys. During the past few years he has re- mained in New York, devoting his parts in important productions, which are given what are known as "star casts,o o in order to insure their success, and .'The stepping stone" "The Power of the interpretation of his part. His next pro- auctions are those in which he has been seen here, vizi Jack Dexter in ssThe Wife," the correspondent, in "Held by the Enem!y;" Allen Weeks, in ''A Possi- ble Case,' and Tom Stanhope, in "In. cog" His company Is said to be an excel- lent one. 1t Is certain that he has always been surrounded by perfectly competent people, and that should in itself be guar antee of the excellence of his present. con,- pany. were not their names sufficient guarantee.

THE SOUTH,

It is not often that the argument of an editor is answered by correspondent in the same issue, yet such was the case in the last issue of Harper's Weekly. The editor gave some gratuitous advice to the South, based on the supposition that the S)uth was not improving in population and wealth as it should. He says the South is given to lynchings, to silver crazes, to wild Populist theories, to legislation in- imical to industrial enterprises, etc. These statements are not sustained by facts. There are no more murders in the South In proportion to population than in other sec- tions. The Populists have captured but one Southern State (South Carolina), while in the West they have carried several.
 But the arguments of the editor of Har- per's is best answered by the facts set forth in the same issue by Mir. J. K. Upton and compiled from the census reports. h re- gard to population, the South has increased much more rapidly than the rich Eastern States. And the same is true in regard to increase in wealth. The South lost by the war $1 400, GOO, ,000, yet in 1890 it was worth more by $729, 423, 1904 than it was in 1860, thus gaining S2, 129, 423, 304 in the assessed value of it's property in twenty five years. This is certainly magnificent record, and refutes all arguments derogatory to the Gonth

NAUGHTY TALK

FROM COLONEL DENsoN TO THE MoNrGoM.
 FRY ADVERTISERS 6 CORRESPONDENT.
 MT. w. D. Mclver, correspondent of the Montgomery Advertiser, who was in Bir- mingham when the Seventh district com- mittee met Thursday night, charges Colonel Denson with having made very ugly personal attack upon him. In writ ing to the Advertiser MT. McIver says:
 Denson attacked your correspondent in the rotunda of the Morris this afternoon. He caught paper that I was reading to Capt. Joseph F. Johnston and, attracting my attention, said, "HeIlo, Bill.' I re- extended my hand, which he took, and, after shaking let go. Then, looking at me, he said: "I don't know whether ought to speak to you or not; you have been printing so many lies about me.'
 thought he was joking and laughingIy replied, "Well, you need not" where upon he seemed to get very angry and said, , "Yes, you d-d scoundrel, you have printed so many lies about me, I don't want to speak to you.'
 right to speak to me in that manner" and turned facing him, when he backed off several feet, placing his hand in his hip pocket as though ready to draw his pistol. I did not follow him and his friends rushed in and took him away.
 In about ten minutes, while I stil! stood talking to Captain Johnston, Denson re- turned and said: sNow I am ready for you. What made you garble that letter of Taubeneck' 8 and print lies on me7''
 said: 'I am just where you left me and have not printed any lies on you, and you have no right to talk to me that way, and am not going to take it.
 Friends again interceded and stood be- tween us. Denson then reared and pitched cursed and abused newspapers aud editors, and turning to MT. Hewlett of The Cullman Tribune, said: "Yes, you Cullman fellows, too; mean you, Hewlett. You, too. have been printing lies in your paper against me, you damn pot-gutted editor.''
 He was then taken away by friends, and I saw no more of him except now and then passing to and fro in the star chamber, where the committee assembled, and he had to be called down several times by the chairman for attempting to interfere with my even answering the questions of the chairman of the committee. The chairman informed me that if 1 could not agree to abide the resolution l could retire, which I was about to do when Denson said: .sI want to speak to you a minute."
 said, "All right, sir.''
 He said: ''I warn you to print the truth more, and warn you here before these gentlemen have wife and chlldren to protect and am going to do it.''
 said: "I did not come here for any, thing of this kind, Colonel Dsnson; will you let me pass?' And he stepped aside and retired. 'sI will print the truth, and have great many facts which I cannot give you tonight, but will have a full re- port for tomorrow.p

HALF TRUTHS LIKE HALF BRICKS.
 It was expected that the Republican press would attempt to make political capital out of Hon. w. l.. Wilson's speech to the British, for the Republicans have said all along that the Democrats were playing into the hands of England. Sure enough the Republican papers have had their say and displayed on their front pages sarcastic cartoons of the event-the Republican press never disappoints its readers when such work is expected of it. But they have had & hard time making any capital out of the speech. and only do it by garbled extracts and distorted meaning. The New York Press quotes the chairman of the banquet as saying: "Eenefits have already been experienced in England." He did say that, but he said further that ssit would prove benefit to both countries,'' which the Press failed to mention. Now, does the Press object to benefiting other coun- tries if ours is benefited at the same time? Such dog the- manager spirit is hardly probable. even in a Republican organ.
 The Press also perverts the meaning of MT. Wilson s speech by only quoting rart of it as follows: "Our protectionists have been building defenses to keep you and OtASA uooAouo iIOlA COuPcCiuB Wltu uS ID our home market; the tariff reformers are breaking down those defenses.' But MT. Wilson continued to say: sLet us com- pete in all the markets of the world. Not only is our prod dction of cotton and food products growing more rapidly than our consumption, but we have today manu- featuring plant which, urged to its full ca- pacity, can in six months fully meet our demands for year." Now, can there be any objection to that? MT. Wilson desires to see the market of the world opened to America. He wants to see our languish- ing industries revive. And for that pur- pose he aided in passing the tariff bill. He plainly told the British that he had pur- sued the course he did, not to benefit Eug- land, but to benefit America.
 Thus the Press tried to create the wrong impression by stating half truths. "A half truth is like half brickbat, it's only idt to knock 6 man down."

It was meeting conducted by democrats in the interest of the republican state lifelong democrat, the mayor of this city, and the principal speaker was a southern democrat. They spoke from the same platform with the republican candi- date for governor, and while declaring ad- herence to the principles and traditions of the party of their choice pronounced them selves ready to vote for the men who give to the state the standing before the people of the world that it once had. Among the orators was Albert w. Mcintyre, the re- publican candidate for governor.

DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.

The principle upon which the Democrats acted in framing the present tariff law is we'll illustrated in the case of wool. Ever Since the war wool has had duty, and in fact the Democratic tariff of 1846 placed u duty oD wool. It has heretofore been con- ceded that the farmer should have some ben- eft from the tariff, and it was agreed to give 1t to him in the way of protected wool. But the removal of the duty declares that no class must be protected at the expense of others. It is declaration of freer trade among the nations, just as there is be- tween the different States of the Union. The duty was removed on the principle that home manufacturers could get foreign wool for mixing; that woolen goods would become cheaper; that consumption would be correspondingly increased; that home manufacturers would find their business more profitable. In fact, it was recognition of the sound principle that trade between nations is a divison of labor which is to the profit of all. It is an admittance that we must buy abroad as well as sell. Diff ferent countries produce different varieties of wool, and the manufacturer must lot be trammeled in his purchase. No other ciy- ilized country but the United States im- posed duty on wool, allowing their man. ufacturers to freely buy just what they needed. That these different grades was necessity is shown by the importation of wool into this country over the barrier of protection; and then the additional cost of B wooden garment was paid by the con- sumer.
 The tariff howlers have always asserted that If wool was admitted free that Ameri. can wool growers would be ruined, and that the price of wool would go down to nothing and sheep would have to be killed for mutton. But wool is now free and what is the result? Just what the Demo- crats predicted. Prices of domestic wool have advanced already 10 per cent, and prices of foreign wools have declined 40 per cent. Domestic wool constantly de- clined in price under McKinleyism, and is now advancing under wiser legislation. The Democratic principle has been justi- fled. The Ohio wool growers who raised such howl over free wool now shear their sheep from the tail toward the head, not being able to look an honest sheep in the face.
