EXEMPTION FROM TAXATION

TO ENCOURAGE THE BUILDING OF COTTON

 sign as reason why the Massachusetts
 Southern Cotton Mill company was located
 i'd the former state, I desire to call your at- tention to the enclosed bill which became alaw during the last session. lis true the
 constitution prohibits the exemption from taxes of property of corporations or indi- viduals for any reason whatever, and there is no doubt such prohibition has driven much capital to other southern states who offer liberal inducements. During last session MT. Baker, the member from Tai- ladega, introduced 8 local bill to permit Talladega county to exempt the Talladega Cotton company from taxation. The bill was referred to the committee on ways and means, of which was a member. When the bill came up for discussion be- fore the committee l recognized at once that there was material for business consideration in the measure suggested, also recognized that if it would benefit Tal- ladega county, why not make 1t general
 and not confine it to one county, and so
 expressed myself to the committee, in con- sequence of which the matter was turned
 over to me and the enclosed bill was the re-
 suit. Before the bill was returned to the committee 1 referred it to Judge Stone for
 his opinion as to its constitutionaiity. His
 reply was: (" Iris very adroitly drawn

ALL IN SCHOOL AGAIN. Now for Another Winter of Hard
 Brain Work. Education Too Often Obtained at the Expense of Nerve Force. Parents Study the Problem of Keeping Up the Health
 at School.

School has been open nearly month. morning faces, <" full of eagerness and am- bition.
 Anxiety of parents begins. Will these young boys and girls stand the nervous strain?
 Every year thousands of bright and in- teresting boys and girls are fatally injured by the indiscriminate and excessive school work.
 Pale lips, languor, little eagerness for play, irritability, and loss of strength, |, show that the close application is making sad inroads npon their health. There should be no delay in building up the child's system and feeding the worn out nerves with Paine's celery compound Parents find their children quickly gain strength and color and increased weight from this-remarkable nerve food. It is pe- culjarly suited to the needs of their weak ened powers of digestion and assimilation.
 During the school year thousands of children pursuing studies with an am- bilious eagerness altogether out of keeping with their strength, have been enabled to keep in school and at work and to recover Of Paine's celery compound, first prescribed by Dartmouth's great professor, IL. D. Parents who neiPs, have studied m tis the problem of how to build up their chill dren's health while at school have found that Paine's celery compound brought vigor and strength by keeping the blood pure and the nerves and tissues richly nourished.
 Physicians in all parts of the country earnestly recommend Paine's celery com pound to parents.

Everything Was Tied Up.

He wasn't very prosperous looking, and national finance was hardly subject one would expect such an out at knees and el- bow individual to be interested in, yet he stood before the bulletin board in front of Broadway natter and studied the figures which are put out from time to time upon 1t, setting forth the amount of free gold in the treasury. He read them time and again, turned away and then went back to look them over once more, observing to bystander in a tone of wonder:
 'Fifty-ive millions of free gold and over in the treasuryl Don't seem possible9 do it?'
 Well, there it is' answered the by stander shortly. He was waiting with as much patience as he could we'll command for the score of the New Yorks in the third inning of the Boston game and was not worrying over such minor matters as national solidity.
 :" Yes, know it's there," continued the first speaker, '''cause the f1ggers says so, but it ain't natural just the same. D
 What's tho matter with it?" impa- tiently asked the ball fend
 Well, with all the poverty goin around, 1t should be in our hands. It belongs to us, don't it?''
 II suppose SO, absentmindedly replied the other, thinking of the game. "We're one ahead"
 No we ain't, either. We're nothin ahead as long as it's tied up there"
 ''Tie nothin. We've got lead" indig- nantly retorted the crank, roofing very hard as he saw the boy coming to mark up the inning on the board.
 We've got no lead on them millions, if know anythin about 1t. Why, 1t was only this mornin that I went out to borry a quarter, and there wasn't that amount of money among all my friends. Think of it Not s5 cents in the crowd, an all them millions of ourn tied up there. You ain't got five, have you?"
 "Fivel No, but there's two," cried the rooter, as the boy put up another tally for the New Yorks.
 "Where'" asked tho man eagerly.
 "On the board. Can't you see 'ems"
 Just like the millions" said the ragged citizen, turning mournfully away, "tieA up."-New York Herald.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.

The expression, .'public school sys- tem,o does not mean merely the primary public school, but includes all the State schools, from the primary on through the university. This makes it 8 'tsystem." !" The system is succession of links, and if one is lost the chain is broken. It is the spring, the river, the bay and the ocean. If one part of the system is taken away, the high school for instance, then it is no sys- tom, but disjointed fragment. The State University isfounded on the same basis as the elementary public schools. It is in complete control of the State and is sup ported blythe State. The Federal govern ment cannot interfere with It's manage mens. In no respect is the doctrine of States rights more clearly recognized. The growing Western States are thor oughly alive to the education of the young generation, and we sse thousand students at the University of Minnesota, and more than that number at the University of Michigan, Illinois and other Western States. The hope of the perpetuity of our government lies in the proper education of the young. Every citizen has deep and abiding interest in such education. The chief aim Of govern ment is protection to the life and property of it's citizens. The best way to give this protec- tion is through education. It is the bull wark of our liberties. Ignorance is more to be dreaded than the pestilence that walketh in darkness. The State that would not protect it's citizens from an epidemic would be severely condemned by the civil ized world. The State that does not pro- tect its citizens from ignorance is as dere- lict in it's duty. The advancement of a State can be gauged by it's public school system. The kindergarten is the foot-the university the head of the State school sys- tenn. Cut off either one, or Top off either of the limbs, and the whole system is shocked. The best talent of the State is devoted to the enactment of laws for the betterment of the public school system and for putting into practical effect those laws.
 The opening of the public schools of Bir- mingham yesterday turn the thoughts of all to the public school system.

 To encourage the building and operating of cotton and woolen factories in the state of Alabama.
 Section l. Be it enacted by the general as- se1nbly of Alabama, That for the purpose of encouraging the building and operating of factories for the spinning of thread, yarns, and the weaving of cloth and other fabrics of cotton and wool in the state, the court of county commissioners of any county, or the constituted authorities of any city or town in which 1t is proposed to locate such fac tories, shall be authorized and empowed to remit the taxes assessed on such buildings, factories. machinery used therein, or land on which factories or buildings are To- cated, for all county or city purposes, for a period not exceeding five years from the date of incorporation.

 Approved February 21, 1893.
 tOfticial. J. D. BARRON,
 Secretary of State.
 The AGE- HERALD was not unaware of the existence of this law on our statute books, but seriously fears constitutional intolerance to it's free exercise. This, how ever, is matter for the lawyers to settle. At one time the city of Birmingham m had law exempting manufactories, but some selfish tax payer came along and pointed out the constitutional objection and away went the law. If there is any way to make this enactment operative 1t should be strictly applied for the relief and encour- asyement of manufacturing enterprises seek- ing location in Alabama.-TEd.

To the Age- e-Herald:

To the Age -Herald:
 Some change ought to be made in the ex- penses for school books in the public and high schools in this city. The books for one pupil in the first year in the high school is before me. It consists of nine books, at a cost of $S.65. In the first or highest grade, it is about the same num- Der of books, at g cost of over $9. The number of studies is too great for anything but-a swattsring knowledge, and the ex- pense for the books is too high.

THE BURDEN OF PROTECTION

Anything exported or that can be exported needs no protection. It is only products or materials created at home that may require protection from the competition of imports.- Bessemer Weekly.
 Thus says our Bessemer cotemporary in a lengthy disertation upon the subject of protection, wherein that peculiar editor seeks to instruct the AaE-HERALD in the school of high tariff, taking the position on the sus iect held by the Republican party. The AGE HERALD fully agrees with its would-be instructor in the first sentence quoted above, but goes further and denies the right of this government to tax the masses of it's own people in order to enrich classes-sugar and iron makers, if you please. The fallacy of "protection" is plainly shown in the answer to the ques- tion, on whom does the burden of protec. tion fall? Is it not the American con. sumer? The Bessemer editor does not deem it necessary to grant protection to cotton and corn growers in Alabam a, for the simple reason that these products are produced at home, and are not imported. Very well; they are at very low price just now, about on a par with sugar, iron, etc. less the tariff prop of the Mckinley law; then why not bring all products to level? Let the government hands of and allow the Alabama farmer an equal showing with the iron masters and the sugar growers. If cheap cotton and cheap corn are met in the markets by all other cheap necessaries of life the business world will be satisfied, but low cotton and corn and the sugar and iron markets in- Hated by government aid is most seriously objectionable to the people.
 The doctrine of protection as taught by our Bessemer friend is just what MT. AL drich, as representative of the RepubIi- can party, is trying to instil into the minds of the voters of this district, and he seems to find most willing assistant teacher in the Bessemer journalist. The people who have to bear the expenses of of the government fully realize the neces- sity of taxation, but have proven an un- willingness to carry more than their reasonable share for the protection and en- richment of favored few.

PROMINENT citizen of Birmingham, who at one time was practical iron- worker, shows the fallacy of the high pro- lection theory in the following statement of his own experiences: Says he: "I was once an iron- worker, and under high tariff was paid SS per day; later on under the same tariff law was paid s per day; still later B per day. aud under the high water mark of s'protection to American indus- tries" for the same work was paid S2. 50 per day. It is true that during this period iron and steel goods were greatly reduced In price, but MT. Carnegie, the great from master, increased his wealth during this same period from $1OO, GOO to 2,OOO, ,OO0, and am still young man." This gen. tleman further declares his belief to be that, should the Democratic party con- tinue to manage this government, and the sea- gates be opened, and the tariff laws be held down to a ''revenue- only'' basis, the working man of this country will be greatly benefited, and the whole country blossom as a rose.
