PRESIDENT JEMlSON ABSENT.
Gone East on Business and Cannot be Present
on Alabama Day at the Exposition.

on Alabama Day at the Exposition.
Mr. w. C. Jemison of Tuscaloosa, pres
ident of the Alabama Commercial as
ISOLATION, has gone east on business con-
nected with the city of Tuscaloosa and
will, therefore, be unable to be present
at the Atlanta exposition on Alabama
day. He has addressed the following let
ter to Secretary Thompson:
Mr.. N. f. Thompson, Secretary, Birming-
Dear Sir: Business of Importance for
the city of Tuscaloosa requires my leav
ing today for eastern cities, to be absent
about two weeks. 1t will, therefore, be
impossible for me to attend the opening
of the Alabama exhibit on the 18th in
slant.
regret very much my inability to join
you in the ceremonies that should be a
matter of pride to every Albanian, and
| will thank you to express my regrets
to the committee, who have labored so
earnestly to accomplish for our state
what our general assembly saw fit to
ignore. The gentlemen of the committee
have done a good work for the state in
an unselfish and patriotic spirit. which
should be known and appreciated by all
of our people. But for my protracted i'll
health / might have given some aid to
the committee in its labors, and given to
the Alabama Commercial association
some earnest. hard work.
With liberal legislation Alabama would
long since have DOTTED her swadling
clothes and become the great state she
now is, standing in the foremost rank
of the rich Industrial commonwealth of
the nation.
This is the earliest moment when
could give you this notice and l trust
your programme will not suffer by the
shortness of the notice. I hope my pleas
ant offices will fall to the lot of an en-
thusiastic Albanian. Yours truly.
w. c. JEMISON.

POSSIBLY A MISTAKE.

The State Herald fears that those in
charge of the arrangements for the
speech by Secretary Herbert tonight
have made a mistake in the selection of
a hall. Mr.. Herbert being an Alabam-
ian and member of the cabinet and
probably the ablest advocate of the f1nan-
cial policy of Mr.. Cleveland in the South,
and the subject which he will discuss
being the most important subject that
has confronted our people since the war,
it is but reasonable to assume that he
would have had an immense audience
to hear him had a place where ample
room could be had been selected. Some
months ago a private citizen, a man
whose home is in the far Northwest,
spoke on the same question that Mr.. Her.
bert will speak on in Birmingham, and
despite the fact that the rain fell in tor
rents and the speaker was private cit
izen--a stranger in a strange handsome
5000 people gathered to hear him.
1t is entirely reasonable to suppose
that this learned Alabamian will draw
an audience of at least 10000 people here
in his own State and in the city of Bir-
mingham. The opera house is too small.

God esta blished the parity between
gold and silver at 16 to 1 when he placed
the two metals in the bowels of the earth,
regulating this standard by proportions
and its accessibility to man. The igno-
minious hand of man has tried to destroy
it by legislation. They had as we'll pun
down the temples of worship. 1t would
scarcely be less sacrilegious.

Robbed an Electric Car.

Chicago, Oct S.-Yesterday evening
five masked men held up an electric car
on the Evanston line, between Edge
water and Argyle, and robbed all the
passengers. One of the passengers was
shot and dangerously wounded. Eighteen
persons had their pockets gone through
by the robbers, and panic ensued. The
loss is supposed to be large. The high
waymen cut the trolley 90 keep other cars
at work.

FINANCIAL. VIEWS.

SAYS the Covington Times: The east is
in favor of gold standard because it has
the money and is compelled to buy its
supplies from the south. Under a gold
standard this money would have double
the purchasing power it would have with
both metals. For this reason the south
should and will favor bimetallism.

The Times congratulates Brother C.
B. Werner of the Tuscaloosa Gazette
On taking unto himself a better half"

be more measured and circumspect in
the future. He was accused of being on
the political fence at one time, as be-
tween the white and yellow metals. but
he landed on the right side at length.
and has now taken position in the COL
umn Of benedicts, into which he is cor
daily greeted.-Selma Times.
Brother Werner, of course, believes in
bimetallsm. He does not believe in 60
Ing through the world on single stand
ard. and it is dollars to doughnuts that
he would not have one arm cut off from
circulation now for money.

Secretary Herbert seems to apprehend
II free coinage were established in the
United States that China and India
would at once come in and absorb our
gold money. China and India and the
Straits settlements have nearly one-half
of the silver money of the world. Silver
is full legal tender money with them.
and they have about $3.50 per capita Of
money. Why they should want gold
when silver has been their preference for
decades and why they should strip them
selves of the only money they have to get
gold is curious. Then who would they
get our gold from? Not from the gov
eminent of the United States. 1t has less
than 500. 100000. and when they came to
getting it from banks or private individ-
uals it is to be presumed that the sellers
would get what would be considered its
value before parting with it for silver or
anything else.
