Pythians Have an Enjoyable Entertain ment-Heavy Rain and
 Wind Storm

Piedmont. April 6.--(Special Corre- spondence)-Dr. England, of Cedartown. Ga, spent a few hours in the city Mon- day.
 MT oscar Treadway, of Jacksonville, is in the city.
 Mrs. Lee Ledbetter has returned from a pleasant visit to friends in Atlanta.
 Mr G. W. Sterling, a former very worthy citizen of Piedmont, and former manager of the Cocsa cotton mill was in the city last Monday arranging for the removal of his household effects to Br- mingham, where he will reside in future. Piedmont very much regrets to lose him and his accomplished lady.
 The Knights of Pythias royalty enter tained quite a large number of their friends at their hotel on the evening of the 9th inst. most elegant repast was spread in an adjoining room and an old time and hearty hospitality was dis pensed by the whole-souled knights. Af- ter dinner speech making was in order and several guests responded in a most pleasing manner. Every guest was made to feel at home and all were de- lighted with the evenings entertain- ment.
 Piedmont had quite storm of wind and rain yesterday morning, but no dam- age was done.
 The dramatic talent of Piedmont was brought out prominently on last Friday night in the play of Troubles" which was greatly enjoyed by the audience. An inters rssting and enjoyable feature of the evening was the sweet music furnished by the Blue Ribbon Glee club" This club is making quite a reputation in musical circles.

WILLIAM P. ST. JOHN.

John Brisben Walker, editor of the Cosmopolitan Magazine. pays a tribute to his personal friend, William P. St. John. He says: "The death of Wm. P. St John brings up the story of such he roic resolutions as has seldom been sur passed in the political history of any country. He had at heart the unfortu- nate conditions under which his coun- try was then laboring. There can be no prosperity without a money system based upon the interests of the entire nation. was his declaration. He be- lieved that crisis was approaching and that the time had arrived for him to raise his voice against what he regarded as fallacies, if he were to be permitted to retain his own self-respect. All his as- sociates were of one way of thinking, and that way was opposed to his. He knew that outspoken declaration of his principles would be followed by denun- citation and loss of the presidency of his bank, but he hesitated not. His deci- sion was source of great strength to the party he espoused. There are things in the world that are worth more than money and position and even the good opinion of friends. And he had those things in his possession; and his name will stand as that of a man whose cour- age was equal to his high sense of honor and duty to his fellow -men."

BRYAN AND BAILEY.

The LaGrange (Ga.) Graphic is one of those unreconstrueted free silver advo- cases and. Bryan newspapers among the many thousands that will defend the principles of the people and their leader against all opposition until thsir wishes are respected. And while they may re- main quiet for a season in order that there shall be no chance for the opposing party to charge to them the cause of their failure to fulfill their promises to the people. yet they will suffer no mis- leading either in or cut of ranks. The Graphic, in the following edi.orial, ex- presses the sentiment of every supporter of MT. Bryan relative to the attempt of the republicans to place MT. Bailey in the forefront as the leader of democracy with the forlorn hope of dividing the solid democratic pkalanx and thereby win another victory in 1900 The demo- cratic party has no fight to make on MT. Bailey, and esteems him as a good dem oerat, and is willing to reward him for his work according to his merits. but he cannot yet measure up win the young Nebraskan in leadership:
 Bailey, of Texas, is a right smart fel- low, but if he imaglnes that he is going
 
 boy beauty overestimates himself, and under estimates the rugged manhood which pays tribute to the loftiest type of American citizenship, Bryan, of Ne biaska.
 We are sick and tired, in the first place, of this gold-bug originated stuff about Bryan and Bailey being the rival demo- cratic leaders. It is magnified far beyond it's deserts by the hireling press. Bailey did make fool of himself at the first of the last campaign just after Bryan's s nomination, but he repented, has been taken back and was nominated for speaker by Bryan votes principally; so you see that most of this talk is pure rot
 Jus. as a measure of comparison, how ever, Bailey can no more measure up with Bryan than a tallow candle with the sun Bryan is the greatest man in mod ern history, no matter what his detract- ors may claim; Bailey is a bright young man of good ability, bu, he could no more have made the campaign that William J. Bryan made than he could tomorrow as cend to the seventh heaven. Bailey Is pretty good grand stand genius; Bryan is the greatest living American.

COMFORT AND KNOWLEDGE.
(sent free by mail.)

Set aside for twenty-four hours a bot tie or common glass filled with urine. A sediment or settling indicates an un- healthy condition of the kidneys When urine stains linen 1t is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, Is also con vincing proof that the kidneys and blad- Der are out of order
 WHAT TO DO.
 There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy, fulhlls every wish in relieving pain in the back. kidneys, liver, bladder and every part or the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scaldng pain in pass ing 1t, or bad effects following use of hq- uor, wine or beer, and overcomes that un- pleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effects of Swamp-Root Is soon realized. It stands the highest forits wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

OUR LETTER BOX.
CITY CONNECTS.

VI l NrOAN Y " l D.
 Editor State Herald:
 Will you kindly allow me space to an- swer the following, which appeared in Wednesdays double column editorial of your valuable journal:
 Fourth The company leasing the city convicts employ only convict labor and the convicts thereby do net in any way come in contact with free labor.
 Ihe whole paragraph is mistake. The writer, if he does not know, should in- form himself. The lease is with the Sloss Iron and Steel company, Besides Coal burg, they work direct Brookside and BraZeal, and have sub-ccnt tracts at Blosburg and perhaps other points. The State Herald should know that the .Soss company needs just so much coal, and if they can get 1t out by city convict Ia bor at S5 per month they will not pay free labor $40 Who can blame them? Every man sent to Coaiburg and every ton of coal dug by him keeps that much work from free man at one of the other places worked by said company Is that not plain enough MT. Editor? Some of the other propositions set for. h in the same editorial are just as untenable as the above, which I have not the time to answer now. Yours very truly,
 J. H.. r. MOSEIAEY.
 In reply to MT Moseley, would say that ne manager of the Sloss company is our authority that his company only employs convict labor, and the question of verac- fty is between these two gentlemen, ard rot the State Herald. Would say, also, that the State Herald before making any statement in the matter took special pains to inquire of those who lease the convicts and the city officials as to the merits and demeri.s of such action.
 As to their sub-letting their hands to other mines is another question but we see no reason why Birmingham should be the only antagonist in the premises, when the Sloss company can hire con- vics from any county in the state, and has been doing it for years It seems the proper thing would be to jump on the law for allowing these things, and not the people. who are acting under the law.-(Ed)

A SUGGEsTION.
the State Herald:

To the State Herald:
 I noticed some time ago ;hat num- Der of leading merchants and business men from Spanish American countries are to be in New York city on the 9th or June Their purpose is to cultivate trade relations with the United States, as well as the enjoyment of a pleasurable trip to this country. I notice that Charles A. Schreven, ex-mayor of Brooklyn, and George E. Armstrong, secretary of H. E. Clafiin Co. are on the committee to pre- pare for their reception. As these busi- nes men are here to increase trade rela- tions, would it not be well for the Com mercal club to extend an invitation to them 70 visit the iron center of America and get into close contact with these countries that want the products of our foundriss, shops and mills? We could doubtless, by timely action, have Bir mingtam included iH he tour they take through the United States.

COME TO SEE US.

The Eufaula Times is informed that the Birmingham steel mill will be in operation about the first of July, and takes occa- sion to remark:
 This is very good if true. But we have heard SO much of that steel mill for years that we are skeptical. When it makes it's first successful run we would like to be on the ground. We suggest that the city make it day of rejoicing and invite their country neighbors. It means everything to Birmingham and Alabama and we should like to drink to its health on the ground. When it runs, boys make a picnic of the day!'
 Why not wait until the great audito- rum, which will comfortably seat about 5000 people, is completed, so our friends can tell us just how they feel as the ban- quet progresses. And then after viewing the steel plant they could visit the half million dollar cotton factory, excurt a few miles out to Cordova and take look at another half million dollar fac tory and possibly the ground work of an- other of equal dimensions and to cost the same. And it is more than proha- be there will be a dozen or mere new enterprises in operation at that time that will prove interesting to our country cousins.
 We would suggest to the editor of the Eufaula Times if he will extend his date to Nov. l. 1897, and our country friends will pay Birmingham a visit they will not believe their own eyes.
 Doubling Thomases had as well hide their faces if they longer think Birming ham is not going to have a first-clss ss steel plant, The probability is that she will have several before another twelve months rolls around

"Ihere is but one genuinely live town in the west" says A. ". Lyman, of Helena, Mont. "and that is Butte. The Anaconda copper mines, that vast con- cern which makes a profit of from $5,- ooo,00o to $6o0O,0OO a year, explains the status there. It is employing mere men and has bigger pay roll than ever be- fore, and it's employees get the highest rate of wages paid anywhere. No won der that Butte is prosperous, for where several thousand msn get steady work and high pay there can be no stagnation Life is never stagnant in the big copper camp. The street cars run all night, and likewise the saloons, and If man wants a shave at 2:30 a. m., he will find several barber shops open."

AMERICAN BEET SUGAR.

|. payment of about S100, 900 annu- ally to foreign countries for product sdapted to our own soil and climate Is plainly an industrial error says the St. I,ouis Globe Democrat. Within the last ten years attention has ben directed to this wasteful method of conducting business. ard signs are multiplying that the proper remedies will be applied. Last wear every pound of wheat and four eN- ported was required to pay fer the sugar inported Our exports of cotton were only double the value of the sugar im- ported, The value of all exports of live and dressed beef, beef products and lard inst about balanced that of the sugar bought abroad. It is now known beyond question that the sugar beet can be grown in many of our states and of a quality drsurpa assed anywhere. Sugar. cane also is adapted to a larger area in this country than is generally supposed. but taking the world at large the yield of beet sugar is increasing twice as fast as cane sugar production.
 Beet sugar has become of such import ance to the farmers, manufacturers and merchants of Germany and France that the two governments arc engaged in sort of protective duel over the first place in it's exportation, for which both countries pay d bounty Some time ago Germany proposed to gra dually extin- gu;st the scgar bounty, bur the popular pressure against this step has been too strong to he resisted. The German e. port bounty on ssgar is nearly half a cent pound, ard Francs has advanced it's export bounty in order to keep even. Supplying sugar to the world must be u
