A SLEEK MIR. SMlIH
Works Nice Little Game on Birmingham
 Bank,

A man by the name of Smith worked a novel game Monday on the Jefferson County Savings bank. The man with the common name managed to get $25 from the shrewd officers of the bank
 Smith claimed to be from Charlotte N. c. He went to the bank and entered into contract for the rental of one of their stores in the bank building. He said that he represented severeaT large tobacco houses, and had his wife and child with him, it is said. Monday he deposited a check at the bank, drawn by George P. Russell & Sons of Atlanta upon the Georgia Loan and SaT- ings company of Atlanta. Afterwards he went to the bank and drew $25 in cash on the deposit. Since he drew the money the bank has discovered that the firm signature to the deposit is a commercial myth-in other words, there is no such firm. It is said that Smith went to a former citizen of Charlotte, N. O., and tried to get his check cashed before he deposited it. but the gentleman reserved the privilege of first telegraphing for Identification, whereupon Mir. Smith withdrew his request and opened an &C., count-at the Jefferson County Savings bank with the sequel given He has not been arrested yet, but a sharp watch has been kept for him by the officers.

SECRETARY THOMPSON RESIGNS
His We'll Filled Post in the Birmingham Com-
 merciaI Club.

merciaI Club. Secretary N. F. Thompson of the Com- mercial club has rendered his resigna- tion, to take effect next Saturday. the 18th. This was done to enable him to &C., cept another and more lucrative position.
 It has been known for some time to a great many of the Commercial club members that MT. Thompson contem- plated a change, but that 1t would come so soon was not known
 Yesterday morning Mir Thompson re- ceived the following telegram:
 Johnstown, Pa, Jan. 13, 1896. N. F. Thompson, care Commercial Club.
 Birmingham, Ala:
 Must have final answer immediately Committee feels Johnstown should have preference. Was so understood and ac- tion based on such understa nding. Johnstown wants and must have you
 MATTHEWS. QUINN & BAILEY.
 Mr. Thompson visited Johnstown in December at the request of the chamber of commerce of that city and while there made speech to a mass meeting of the citizens called together for the purpose. Before returning to Birmingham he was made very tempting offer, which he took under advisement On his return he also received an offer from the Commer- cial club of Huntsville, and this too he took under advisement. Each of those organizations desired his services in a capacity similar to that he now occupies with the Birmingham Commercial club.
 Yesterday MT. Thompson handed his resignation to President Rhodes and next week he will go either to Huntsville or Johnstown.
 MT Thompson has been a resident of Birmingham for several years and is valuable citizen. During his official con- nection with the Commercial club he has discharged the duties imposed upon him ~.,.&I and eminently to the satisfaction of the members generally.
 His resignation will be regretted by the club membership.

LET US CREATE PROSPERITY.

The Baltimore Manufacturers Record gives our people the following excellent advice:
 All through the south there are towns having excellent natural advantages towns in which money is lying practical ly idle, bringing little or no profit to it's owners and doing no good to the commit nity. If every such town in the south could be inspired with some of the hus- ting qualities which have made Atlanta, and which are today bringing to the front Rome, Ga, now one of the most consplc- uous places in the south, because of its success in capturing great cotton mills, hundreds of towns throughout the south would quickly spring into life and activ- ity. The south has the ability and the money to build up it's own industrial in- terests. It ought to be more independ- ent, more self-reliant, and its people ought to unite and through active co-op- eration gather into manufacturing enter prises its now unutiized capital, and thus cease to depend upon outside men and outside money. There is scarcely a town of 1000 people in the south which could not raise $25,O00 or $50,00 or $100.- 900 of local money for the purpose of starting industrial enterprises; but there is too much lack of public spirit and broad-minded energy in many of these towns"

In Louisiana the attempt at fusion be- tween the republicans and populists has signally failed The St. Charles Press says:
 "The populists at Alexandria very properly refused to fuse with the repub- licans and named a man of their own cloth for governor. The principles of the two parties are as wide apart as the devil and the blue sea. They have noth- ing in common and can never sleep in the same political bed. The lily white republicans must stand on their own shank ends and sail in to win on plat form of white supremacy, protection and square elections"
 Why any populst in Alabama should wish to fuse with the republicans passes our comprehension. Upon nearly every plank of their platform the populists here are In harmony with the great body of democrats and they are not in accord with the republicans upon a single vital principle of government. They can never win what they aim at by surrendering all state and national power to those who are their natural enemies.

THE OTHER SIDE.

There appears to be another side to the Transvaal question. Sir Cecil Rhodes in a cablegram from Cape Town of Satur- day last says:
 'The position is that within the Trans vaal there are 10000 newcomers and an old population of 14,000. With the de- velopment of the gold industry to fuller extent the newcomers will amount to 300, 900 in five years: eventually to 1,0OO,- 00O, probably more. From time to time the position will be upset by the attempts of the new population to claim common civil rights, which eventually they cer- tainly must get Statesmanshp should give them some rights now. as the pres- ent state is impossible for the newcom- CTS who own more than half of the soil of the Transvaal and nne-tenths of the wealth of the country. The new males outnumber the old five to one, and are composed largely of Americans, includ- ing the principal mine managers Eng land is the only great power in South Africa. She is now threatened with German interference, which she is bound to resent and resist. In this she should have Americas sympathy. Blood is thicker than water. Americans above

The People Will Attend to It.

The Advertiser devotes much of it's space to the abuse of Captain Johnston that might be put to better use. It says the people don't want Captain Johnston and f1e cannot be nominated. Now the people will tend to that when the time comes. The people will speak for them selves. Contrary to it's general way of arguing, it says the party is under no obligations to Captain Johnston for work done for the party; that rather he is un- der obligations to it for being allowed to work for it, and all such bosh as that. In it's extremity the Advertiser knows not what to do. After we nominate Captain Johnston it's duty will be plain.--Brew- ton Standard Gauge.

Worrying Her,

The fact that number of the papers in the state which are opposed to the free coinage of silver are supporting Cap tain Johnston for governor is worrying the Montgomery Advertiser no little, and 1t is daily engaged in the task of giving information of which the people of Ala bama have been in possession for a num- Der of years, to-wit: That Capt. Joseph F. Johnston is in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver. O, yes, he favors the free coinage of silver and the papers supporting him which do not agree with him on the financial question we'll understand his position. But, like the Birmingham News, they realize that Captain Johnston would receive many thousand more votes than any gold standard man who could be nominated.- Jacksonville Republican.

UnitY of A ction.

The Birmingham News is now in favor of Captain Johnston for governor and is of the opinion that an advocate of the free coinage of silver can run a better race in the state than sound money candidate can. Unity of action is what the democrats want and need most of all. -Edwardsville Standard-NeWs.

all nations insist on civil rights in ones industries here at the Cape. In the Transvaal all my managers are Ameri- cans. And yet we have the spectacle of the two great English speaking nations Of the world almost on the verge of war about some barren land in South Ameri- ca, while, working in perfect harmony, the peace of the world would be secured" ]"
 From this statement of the case it looks as if a minority of Boers are de- priying a large majority of actual set tiers of all political rights. But unfor- tunately back of the vital question is the rivalry of Great Britain and Germany to swallow up vast portions of Africa
 If 1t were simply question of the right Of the majority to rule the republic it is not improbable that the sympathy of the United States would be with the Uitlanders, even if they rose in rebellion against President Kruger, but we have no sympathy with the despotic methods of Germany or with the land-grabbing of Great Britain. If the German emperor would guarantee an independent republic upon popular basis, all of our sym pathies would go out in that direction
 and If Great Britain should bring her moral influence to accomplish such re- suit we would applaud her conduct, but with our present information we are in doubt who to sympathize with unless it be the defeated Uitlanders, who struck for the natural rights of the majority of the people to form their own government

Clarke for Gcvnracr.

The Hon. R. H. Clarke, member of con- gross from the First Alabama district, has at last issued his address to the dem ocrats of Alabama stating that he is a candidate for the office of governor of Ala bama.
 MT. Clarke is sterling democrat; is one of the few members from this state that has stood side by side with our good president and at all times supported the administration in its rough and stormy voyage. whilst others skulked and show ed signs of mutiny.
 He is brilliant debater, an honorable and most worthy son of this grand old state. We admire him for his patriotism. his lofty and enlightened views on all questions pertaining to the welfare of the citizens of the state and United States whenever sound judgment and rare tall ent was needed in the halls of congress.
 We fear this honorable gentleman has made one of the mistakes of life in be- coming a candidate for the office of gov ernor Harmony is what Ala bama needs at the present time. and Captain John ston can do more in that respect than any man in the state. Besides, he is de-

He Is Not the Party.

MT. Dick Clarke's idea of democracy, like that of the Montgomery Advertiser,
 is narrowed to single boundary-the absolute indorsement of MT. Cleveland's s administration, singly and collectively. Mir Cleveland is not the democratic par ty. Many of the ablest democratic states men differ with him on some points, and Mir Clarke and his "Boanergese" might as well recognize the fact that freedom of conviction as to wise and unwise policies Is not confined to themselves alone. Such men and trusted leaders as Morgan, Crisp, Vest, Harris, seven out of our present congressman. and such laymen as Pettus, Johnston, Richardson and thousands of other prominent Ala bama true-blue democrats do not and cannot indc-se Mir. Cleveland in all things, and they will stand by their con- yictions.-Selma Times.

The New York Herald prints a cable from Shanghai which is in effect that the Queen of Corea, who it was supposed was assassinated last fall, is alive and in hiding. The dispatch says the intrigue was the result of plan in which were concerned the Russian charge d'affaires and others. The queen saw the bodies of her women hacked to pieces, and the king, who was also in the plot afterward feigned to recognize one of the charred corpses as that of the queen.
