ANOTHER NATHAN WANTED.


 Now that the country is emerging from its awful lassitude and throwing off the burden of poverty which followed in the wake of the panic of 1893. politicians and parties are bestirring themselves and busly inquiring who was to blame. The Democrats have no hesitaney in saying that the Republican administration must be blamed and blamed bitterly for having started the country on the downward grade while in power and giving it final kick when surrendering the chair of off, flee.
 Republicans, on the other hand, charge that the United States has the Democrat ie party to thank for it's misfortune and they think to clinch their argument by pointing to the fact that even with MT. Cleveland at the head, and Democratic Congress on their side, the country head ed for the bow-wows and there was none to stop it. The Populists vary things by charging first one and then the other of the old parties, making nice calcula- tions meanwhile as to the probable ben eft to be derived from the depression, disruption or upheayal which ever should take place.
 Mir. Cleveland's enemies have not spared him in their strlctures. Many democrats even have ranged themselves against him. laying upon his shoulders the burden of the country's misfortunes. They should recall to mind an important feature of the case. MT Cleveland was chosen as leader the platform he ad- vocated being indorsed fully by men who held in trust the vote of the nation. Rep resentatives and Senators alike under stood this platform they were elected many of them by a sound money con stituency, yet when Grover Cleveland took his seat as President of the United States he found ranged against him number of men directly antagonistic to the principles and tenets of Democracy. We have an example of this in our own State Alabama is overwhelmingly for sound money-witness the last guberna- torial contest-yet she is represented in the Senate by Hon. John T. Morgan and Hon. James l.. Pugh efficient public ser wants both of them, yet both avowed free silver men, This is but one instance out of many
 The nearer '96 approaches the more grave does the question become, what method shall the Democratic party use to insure the good of the nation? Plainly it must be based on unity. There is little need of adopting a platform if individ- ual members are to strike each path for himself Of less use is it to choose leader if he is to be handicapped and annoyed by petty moves and ignoble strife. Rapidly the matter resolves itself into the query what is the individual share each man must account to himself in the conflict that has well nigh ruined the country?

 A large crowd of Jasper people enjoyed a moonlight picnic at Cowak mills Fri day night. Every available buggy, hack and wagon was impressed to accommo- date the crowd. The acme of social de- light was reached by the happy par ticipants and the dancing was prolonged to the small hours. The entertainment was novel one and will doubtless be frequently repeated
 Galloway coal mines of Carbon Hill report cent per ton advance on coal, which is equivalent to 121s per cent in- crease in the pay of operatives. \
 The election for municipal officers is being warmly agitated, although the voting will not be had until September 10. The present mayor, Hon. T. l..

 In jewellers shops are frequently dis played glass reproductions of the most famous diamonds of the world. These are cut at Grunheinchen, in Bohemia; most interesting of the original, perhaps, are those of out-of-the-way colors, such IS the celebra ted blue Hope diamond and the great red diamond owned by the czar of all the Russias. The finest existing green diamond is in the green vault au Dresden in which are preserved the royal treasures of Saxony. Most of these treasS ures have come down from the middle ages. The diamond is pear-shaped. Har- yard university possesses the most per feet octahedral diamond known. Though so wonderfully perfect as crystal, it is a little off color.

Probably Untrue.

It seems that Mrs. Annie M. Gardiner, of Arcadia, Neb., the Christian endeavor, who mySteriouSly disappeared in Boston, was endeavoring to get rid of her huS- band and children. It has been diScoV- cred that Mrs. Gardiner, instead of stay ing in south Boston during the conven- tion, stayed in Cambridge under an as stunned name. She traveled under the name of Dorothy Mansfield, and was known by no other name during her stay in Boston. Everything now points to a deliberate plan on the part of the woman from the time she reached Boston to aban- don her husband and three children and to begin life anew under a new name. This is the more peculiar because her do- nestle relations were supposed to be es- pecially happy Mrs. Gardiner, it is said, applied at a well-known teachers agency for a position. She selected one of the places which were open and made ar engagements to leave at once for that place, which is in Connecticut City She then appears to have written the pathetic letter to her husband, telling him that she was ill and commenting him and the children to the care of God. The next day she appears to have gone to clerk in stationery store and had him write the letter signed "G. A. Brown" telling of the death and burial of Mrs. Gardiner
 With her family thus disposed of Mrs. Gardiner sold her return ticket to Ne braska to scalper bought another tick ct, had her trunk checked at the New York and New England depot and dropped out of sight.-Picayune.

 The Knights Templar conclave at Bos- ton is August 26 to 90 and the indications are that the attendance will be greater than at any previous conclave.
 Boston being the point is quite fac tor, inducing thousands to go who would probably not attend if the Knights had selected some less attractive city.
 On making this trip of course you would select the Southern, as it is the most direct line and affords you better service for the same consideration.
 The Birmingham Knights have decided to use this line and have arranged for special train to be composed of vestibule sleepers including Pullman latest im- proved dining car.
 This train, replete with all the latest appliances of luxurious travel, will leave on schedule of the vestibule limited and will contain the Memphis and Birming- ham communicates and their friends.

Food for the HoWlers.

AmcLg southern manufacturing enter prises reported for the past week are a new S500,0 900 mill at Newport News, Va; ano+I Ter $500, 900 mill a Memphis, Tenn; a S1VJ GOO mill at Statesville, N. C., and a $50OO0 one at Greer, S. c. There is also announced the organization of a company with a capital of S100O,000 "to introduce improved cotton ginning and compress ing systems" All this indicates that the low price of the staple has not killed the cotton trade so dead as it has been rep resented. It also indicates that the cheap ness of the product is to be met by inn proved machinery and cheaper methods of production. While this helps the small class of cotton growers, it also benefits the incomparably larger class of con- sumers or wearers of cotton fabrics TimeS-Star

Peculiar Accident at Church-Another in
 Store.
 Troy, Aug. 9.-(Special Corresponds ence.) )-Chancery court which has been in session here several days, has ad- journed, after the hearing of several cases involving thousands of dollars.
 News reaches here that strange ac- cident occurred at Mount Zion church, near Luverne, this week. A revival was going on and at the morning service the house was crowded with people. The preacher, Rev. MT Stevens, had just read his text when a crash was heard and one of the long girders had given way, striking on the head and seriously wounding Bestor Tisdale and Joe Eiland. For half an hour they seemed dead. A man by the name of McDougald and one by the name of Williams was badly hurt, while the minister who is man of feeble health, was frightened almost to death. How it was that no one was seriously hurt is strange.
 At the store of Williams, Seals & Go. there was an accident yesterday after noon, which came near proving fatal to MT. J. w. Seals, one of the proprietors of the store. He went up into the store before had been left in an empty alcohol bottle The bung was on the inside of the barrel and he lighted a match and held it close to the bunghole to try to see the syphon. The gas inside the barrel caught from the match and the barrel head was blown out Fire flashed into MT Seals face and burned him considerably But for the position in which he was standing he would have been killed.

It is right to go to church. Even if YOU are not believer, "the dim, rell- gious light the devout throng and the sweet tones of the organ will make you better. The man who comes out of church worse than he went in is to be nitied. Truly he is a subject for self examination.
 There are those, however, who do not ar cannot attend church. But they should discharge one religious duty. They can be thankful. Gratitude is the essence ol religion in humanity and in nature The thirsty plant, refreshed by the early or the latter rain, smiles its thankfulness to the bounteous skies and stretches US leaves to caress the cooling breeze. The human being whose heart does not swell at the blessings of providence is libel on creation, animate and inanimate.
 On this beautiful Sabbath of the ma iestic, matronly August we have much to be thankful for as a nation, a State community and as individuals.
 The crop outlook as whole mas not been so promising for years It is true that the yield of cotton will not be as great as we could desire, but the crop is 
 hand. will give a magnificent harvest, and spring wheat will more than reallze anticipation. Sections of the country which have been cursed by drouth year after year now assure the husbandman that he will reap what he has planted. Indeed the agricultural interest Of the United States is singularly blessed this year.
 The health of the nation is good. Yel- low fever and cholera have not been al- lowed to slip past the safeguards, and in no section is there presence of deadly, contagious disease.
 In the crowded tenements of the cities the heat of midsummer is less intense and less fatal than usual. Fewer deaths by sunstroke are reported.
 The industrial and commercial prospect is cheering indeed. Idle plants are the exception and idle working men are be- coming scarcer every day. Merchants have every reason to anticipate a heavy and profitable fall trade.
 The spirit of the people is stronger, more self-reliant. The tares sown by the hand of the demagogue are willing beneath the rays of prosperity's sun. The fogs of financial heresy are lifting. A patriotism which knows no politics is animating the country.
 In Alabama and in Birmingham we are thrice blessed There is peace and plenty within our borders and good will among our citizens. The yield of our fields will be bountiful, and the great industry upon which we of this city principally rely is entering upon an era of prosperity which the most conservative hesitate to limit. Our capitalists can look with con- fidence for returns upon their invest ments and our laboring men are assured of work at remunerative wages.
 But why enlarge upon a state of affairs which is apparent to every intelligent man? Today let us breathe prayer of thankfulness to the Giver of All for His mercies; and tomorrow let each of us, great and small, take heart of grace and do our share toward working out the des- tiny of our grand city and section
