OPPOSES HARMONY.

Recently the State Herald referred to the fact that the, Troy Democrat, one of the few papers in the state which pre- fers to render it's service to the Adverti- ser rather than to the party of which it claims to be a member, had repudiated Governor Oates. Our gentle reference seems to have considerably riled the Democrat, causing it to say several things not at all pretty.
 The State Herald would not think of dignifying the remarks by replying to them. However. along with the ugly re- marks made, we find the following:
 "The Democrat has not repudiated Governor Oates. We have been his friend personally and politically, since we have had anything to do with his po- litical career-our past conduct proves it-and we are still his friends. We were simply opposed to his idea to harmonize." "
 Opposed to harmony! Don't want any peacei Away with 1t! |.
 The Democrat attempts to- pose as one of the guardians of the democratic party of the state, and yet it wants no harmony. It even has such an abhor- renee for harmony that 1t is willing to criticise Governor Oates for suggesting the advisability of harmonizing. But it is not strange, after all, to find the Dem- ocrat holding to such views. It does not think for itself or labor for the success of democracy-it is simply serving the Advertiser the arch-enemy of democracy in Alabama.

ExTREMEs MEET.

The Montgomery Journal few days ago took exception to the conciliatory views expressed by the State Herald. There appears to be a difference be- tween the Journal and ourself. The State Herald desires to preserve the ranks of the democratic party. It wants our delegates in state convention to come together with no angry feelings, but with toleration for honest differences of opinion. It is earnestly opposed to a bitter controversy on the stump over a question which, although of fundament- al importance, is of less vital importance than the preservation of party discipline and unity. The State Herald is thor oughly convinced that the monetary pol icy of the administration is so weak and undemocratic that it can never receive the support of the people of Alabama. We have no fear of d discussion, but we wonld deplore it's effect upon the party. If, however, the supporters of the admin istration are determined to force their views as a sine qua non upon the democ- racy of this state, the State Herald stands ready to accept the gage of battle. We are not looking for fight, but we are not getting out of the way.
 Our esteemed neighbor, the Journal, however is fairly boiling over for fight. It denounces the desire of this paper for harmony as weak and vacillating." It charges us with having been "bluffed" by Mir. Clarke-as throwing down our hand and as refusing to call" We would inform the Journal that we are not playing a game of poker with lot of blacklegs. and that the business and social welfare of the people of Alabama is not a jackpot for any swindler or swashbuckler to gamble over. We are engaged in the serious, solemn-aye. the religious-duty of pacifying. consolidating and harmonizing the democracy, to the end that we may keep af1oat the glorious banner which has protected our people from wrong for a quarter of century. The Journal, on the one side, may excite one faction to demand what the other fac ton will not consent to accept; and the Advertiser, on the other side, may de- clare war to the knife against all who oppose it's peculiar views-bYr~as for the State Herald, we say now, once for all, that while using all legitimate argument to advance the cause of free coinage of both metals on equal terms, and as our fathers declared, we do not propose to wage war upon those who differ with us within the ranks of the party. We are for the democratic party, right or wrong wrong, set it right; right, keep 1t right.
 It is not surprising to see the Journal and the Advertiser meeting on common ground They care more to keep up row in order to excite the people ana make their papers sell than they do TOT the preservation of their party ana the peace of society and the advancement of business. If they are determined to brandish their shillalahs at all hours or the day and night. we suggest that they experiment on each others head, anu leave the State Herald out of the iracas'

est debt into burdensome interest debt is consummated, what is to prevent the holders of the notes from applying to lhe banks for gold, just as they apply H1w to the treasury? The answer is that 1t will be so difficult to get the notes of any particular bank together at any one time that the chances of a gold run would be very remote So then the scheme is for the banks to lock up their gold by send- ing their currency to remote parts of the union, and the government proposes to aid in such a nefarious business by throwing difficulties in the way of the citizens who wish, and have right, to demand primal money for the paper promises of the bank The people of Ala bama will-never consent to be taxed $500, ,000 a year to build up and perpetuate such a federal bank system. Even the republicans looked upon the national bank system as based upon a bonded debt, only as a war necessity. They never expected to see it continued be- yond the necessity that called it into aex. istence. They never expected to surren- der the right of the people of the states to provide for themselves their medium of exchange. But now we find our dem ocratlc president not only proposing to saddle us with a new bonded debt, but suggesting methods by which the people may be defeated in their right to demand hard money for the paper, promises Of the bank. And not only so, but we find no expression of a wish onihis part to allow the states their constitutional right to organize banks of issue. The Cin- cinnati platform demanded a restoration of this ancient right. Colonel Oates, MT. Clarke and all of our congressman are on record as demanding it. But the administration will have none of it.

 It is a curious fact that the Hebrew race has been pursued by persecution and enmity ever since the Babylonian captivity, and many very good folk will heave a sigh because of the injustice of 1t and say complacently that it, cannot be helped; that 1t is in accordance with the prophecies of Scripture. The same sort of people used to defend slavery on the same grounds. The Jews are cer- tainly very shrewd, very intelligent and have a remarkable faculty for the accu- mutation of wealth. No doubt some members of the race are also unscrupu- lous in it's acquisition. A whole race of honest men would be a strange spectacle indeed. But America is too broad in mind as well as in area, to deny any man the rights of citizenship because he has Abraham for his father If an American Jew Is guilty of a felony of sufficient magnitude he will probably be deprived of his rights of citizenship, but as long as he is an upright useful and respect able citizen he need fear nothing from the vaporings of Dr. Ahlwardt or any other blatant notoriety seeker.-Green- vile (Miss) Times.

Speaking with reference to the prob able candidacy of Col. R. H. Clarke for governor, the Russell Register, an ad-
 mininstration paper says: "We shall be very sorry to see him en- ter the race as the representative of the views of MT. Cleveland, because we do not think the result will portray the true sentiment of the democracy of Alabama ,as to those views. We believe that many tCleveland democrats will vote for Cap tuain Johnston for reasons entirely for Ieign to the currency and money question.
 and we believe that MT. Clarke, in enter ing the race and making the fight on these lines, and the Advertiser, in en- ideavoring to use the lash to secure the 0vindication of the national administra- Ftion. will distort the nominations of Cap tain Johnston into a repudiation of MT. Cleveland, when such win not be the fact. sWe believe that Captain Johnston will fbe nominated, whether MT. Clarke runs For not, and whether MT. Clarke runs as an
 administration candidate or not. The democracy has decided that Captain Johnston should have the nomination, ,and that same democracy is going to give lOit to hin,

A HANDSOME PAPER.

The readers of the State Herald are presented this morning with a twenty page paper, the largest paper that has been issued in Birmingham in many months, and goes to a larger number of readers than has been sent out from this city since the old boom days. Steadily but surely is the State Herald growing in popular favor. as is evidenced by the hundreds of new names that are added each week to our regular subscription list. Three hustling canvassers are working every nook and corner of Ala bama, and parts of Georgia, Florida. Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee, and their success has not only been high ly satisfactory, but has exceeded the highest expectation of the management.
 The State Herald is not given to boast ing, but moves smoothly on in the even tenor of its way, appreciating fully the truism of the saying that nothing sue ceeds like success" and that business comes first in every successful enter prise.
 Our advertising columns this morn show conclusively what the business an advertising medium. and while our columns mirror the progress of Bir- mingham we are proud to say the refiec- tion extends throughout a radius that will benefit not only our patrons, but the city and state as well.

The constitutionality of the 10 per cent tax on the issue of state banks is to be tested. In his speech before the Georgia legislature recently Secretary Hoke Smith gave it as his opinion that the law was unconstitutional. At the same time he also stated that he was associated very closely with a number of eminent lawyers, each of whom held to the same opinion. He also said that he hoped the Georgia legislature would pass such a state banking law as would provide an opportunity of testing the question, leav- ing the impression on his hearers that he himself would like an opportunity to join with other gentlemen in making the test The Georgia legislature has followed Mir Smiths suggestion, provided the way, and we are informed by the Atlanta Journal that the test will be made. The test will be watched with consider able interest. and it is to be hoped that in the end the law will be declared un- constitutional.

NO DIVISION.

The State Herald does not believe there cial question in the next state convea- tion. There will of course be declara- ton voicing the sentiments of the ma jority of that body and recognizing the fact that there are honest differences. Captain Johnston has a very large fol- Towing who do not agree with him in his currency views The Daily News, Annis- ton Hot Blast, Huntsville Argus, Fort Payne Journal, Guntersville Democrat Leighton News, Russell Register, Nor gan County Herald, Greensboro Watch man, Prattville Progress, Talladega Mountain Home, Demopolis Express, and many other able papers, have repudiated the lead and advice of the Advertiser and are declaring for party harmony. Most of them are earnest advocates of the nomination of Captain Johnston. and all of them oppose a factional and bitter strife for the nomination. The demo- cratic papers that advocate free coinage are, we believe, without a single excep- tion for Captain Johnstons nomination. With all the papers on one side of the currency question for Johnston and a large numDer or those on the other S1ue either indorsing or not opposing him, how can it be expected that a more ac- ceptable candidate can be found? Not withstanding this the Advertiser and Register, deserted by nearly one-half of their former allies, are trying to move Heaven and earth to find a candidate to "wrest the nomination from Johnston" :"
 Never before in the history of the dem ocratc party in Alabama have few newspapers undertaken to get out can didate simply to oppose the nomination of a loyal, capable and lifelong member of the party. There are few democrats in Alabama who do not know that no candidate can be found who can prevent Captain Johnstons nomination, yet these two papers are relentless in their pur- pose to force a contest that can only re- suit in strife and dissensions. The State Herald does not doubt the result It only hopes that after the convention adjourns after the flag of the party shall have been placed in Captain Johnston's hands that the Advertiser and Register will be half as zealous in atoning for their error as they have been in their attempt to create dscord.

Methods of Lighting.

From the pine torch of the savage to
the incandescent electric light is a
long stride: and the greater portion of
it has been taken by man in the past
hundred years. Until the invention of
illuminating gas, men depended on oil
and wick, in all forms from the stone
lamp of the Romans, and the saucer
and tallowed rag of our own back
woodsman, to the glass lamp with the
argand burner supplied with the
spermaceti oil of the whale. The
lighting of city streets, however, ap-
pears to be of considerable antiquity,
as Antioch seems to have had it's
streets lighted in the third century.
while lhere is still extant an order of
the governor of Odessa, sos A. D., that
the street lamps should be kept burn
ing all night. Paris was the first
modern city to have lighted streets,
1924, the practice having died out dur
ing the middle ages. In London, when
it was proposed, the objection was
seriously urged that people would be
unable to sleep in their houses, if the
streets were lighted. Until a dozen
years ago, gas was the great artificial
illumination, and it has not lost its
place, since several of the leading rail-
roads such as The Burlington, light
their sleepers and coaches with the
Pintsch compressed gas, carried in
iron cylinders under the car In
other respects, as we'll as that of a
brilliant yet soft and agreeable illum-
ination. The Burlington is a model
line, and people who have made &C
quaintance with its merits, are quite
sure to buy their tickets that way.

The Creamery.

While working in the interests of the
proposed picking industry. Saturday,
the creamery of this place was fire.
quentlY cited as an example of the
probable outcome of the pickle factory.
Several farmers presented that enter
prise as one that had been anything
but prosperous business. In the fall
ing off in business during the last two
years, along all lines of trade, there
has been a consequent reduction in
the sale of creamery products, but at
no time, through that distressing
period, has it been an elephant on the
hands of its owners. Since the recent
upward tendency in trade, this cream
cry has felt the reviving influences
and now has a solid custom trade for
every pound of butter produced. The
output, at present, runs from six to
eight hundred pounds per week, at
good figures. There is. then, no
legitimate reason for pointing to the
creamery as warning against enter
ing into other public advantages. On
the contrary, it is one of the strongest
arguments in favor of such things.
Remember that the creamery is a
solid institution, and paying one, dis
trlbuting money to the farmers at all
times of the year. Those who find
fault with the creamery and question
its standing, are evidently not in pos
session of the facts or prejudiced
against it's welfare.
