: ALABAMA COAL FOR FUEL.

Tn another column we give space to letter from MT. T. L. Long to Hon. Wilson R. Brown, representative in the lower house of the general assembly from Col bert county, which gives estimates of cost of Alabama coal for fuel when used in cotton manufacturing plants. The letter is clear and concise, and the figures enumerated will no doubt prove a, force- full argument in behalf of MT. Browns bill.
 That Alabama is unusually well fa- vored as regards fuel tRere can be no doubling. and with liberal Inducements to capital there should be no reason why the state should not be dotted here. there

OUR LETTER BOX.
GOOD LAWS SUGGESTED.

Editor State Herald.
 I notice in the legislative proceedings published in a late issue of your paper that a bill has been introduced in the house to amend section 6 of an act to pro- vide for the making and maintaining the public roads of Jefferson county, and to require the mmissioners' court to keep a book of records of roads, and to keep an entry of all roads established in the coun- ty Both of above are good and much needed laws, but Jefferson county's para mount need just now, as evidenced by the light of events that have transpired with in the last two months, notably the col lapse and falling of a new bridge over Vil- lage creek in fifteen or twenty days after it was finished and accepted by the coun- ty engineer and paid for by the commits sioners' court. By the fhlling of this bridge one valuable young life was crushed out and six or eight others badly injured, resulting in damage suits against the county aggregating s60,OOO.
 To prevent like dreadful calamities in the future some one of our honorable rep resentatives in the legislature should in- troduce bill and get 1t through at this session, creating the office of road and bridge inspector, to be filled by appoint ment of the governor for four years the appointee to be required to give a good bond and be paid a salary by the county. There is a bill pending in the legislature to reduce the salaries of state officers with a good prospect or US becoming Jaw, which will save to the state many thous- ands of dollars, and a similar bill should be passed at this session of the legislature to reduce the salaries, or pay, of all coun- ty officials who are paid out of the county treasury. The salaries of all, state and county, are " flush times" salaries, fixed at time when all kinds of business were f1ourishing, and the whole county in prosperous condition. No so now. We are confronted with such times of finan- cial depression as we have never experi- enced in our history before. Taxes have to our people generally, but more espe- increased until they are a great burden cially to the farmer who works ten hours a day year in and year out" barely eking out scanty support for his family, while these salaried officials flourish like a green bay tree and care nothing for short crops or hard times.

SUNS COTTON.

New York, Feb. 5.-Spot cotton here was unchanged, with sales of 857 bales, including 700 bales for shipment direct.
 There were few fluctuations in prices today. The trading was confined to local scalpers, and at the close prices were practically unchanged from the opening. ulate trading, Liverpool showed no change New Orleans was stagnant; there was no outside demand here; the spot markets were quiet The receipts were light, but everybody seems to be waiting for something to turn up. Ac- cordfng to Mr Hester, the quantity brought into sight during the week was 140,574 bales, against 12S,642 bales last year, 209, ,5S0 bales in 1895 and 124,026 bales in 1894 This weeks figures, however. in- clude about 35,000 bales corrections, and the report, therefore, has no effect, upon the market.

THE STAGE TEACHES A MORAL.

A problem was presented on the stage last night which is worthy of considera- ton. A fair statement of the case IS this: IA beautiful woman appeared in tights and danced. We failed to observe that she attracted much attention from the gentlemen in the audience. The same actress retired from the stage. and reap peared, dressed in a neat gown, giving the audience very graceful dance. Dur ing this dance she often exhibited the tops of her high gaiters. It was then that the Tribune representative noticed that the gentlemen in the audience were cranlng their necks and twisting about in their seats. Now, the lesson we learned from this is that women are most attractive when least exposed; that modesty has charm which Is always captivating even to a rude audience. It is intimated by an observer of things that a delicate hint is often more effective than a knock-down. The preacher, the student of human na- ture and the women of the land can take the case and from it learn lesson.- Huntsville Tribune. ,.4-i..s .-s

OLD NASSAU IN GLORY.

Mindful of all Princeton has been to our wide land and to these narrower ana nearer states to which its halls nave been a center of learning, there is profound qualification in the knowledge that the institution is launched today on it's fourth half century, guided by the same spirit, controlled by the same religious principle and true to the same traditions as when its foundations were laid in faith and it's walls raised in prayer.-Philadelpria Press.
 A college has a right to feel proud that has given it's diploma to one presi- dent of the United States, two vice-presi- dents, one chief justice of the United States supreme court, four associate justices, seventeen members of the cabi- net, twenty-five governors. 117 judges Of state courts, 150 members of congress, seventeen ministers of foreign countries, not to mention thousands of educated men in all the learned professions. That is the handsome record Of Princeton uni- yersity.--Boston Herald.
 Princeton has given great names to the exact sciences, as well as to theology. The college has been backed by great wealth, and is one of the solid educa- tional institutions of America, which are exceeded only in age by those of any country in the world.-Troy Times
 Princeton has demonstrated that true education is the handmaid of religion, the ally of good government, the main spring of morality and the conservative, as well as inspiring, force of civilization. May Old Nassau date from this com- memorative fete a career of increased usefulness and honor. May she prove ever worthy of the splendid names and fragrant lives indissolubly linked with her history.-New York Mail and Ex- press. -

DorHAN,s ARTEsIAN WELL.

The machinery has been put in position. the steam turned on, and the work conn menced in earnest on the artesian well. MT. s. s. Chandler of Massachusetts, has arrived and has charge eff the work for MT Ray, the contractor. Mr. Chandler has experience in the business and repre- sents three prominent New England states. The machinery he has is new, just from an Ohio foundry, 1t is large and heavy, and MT. Chandler is very much better equipped than the gentlemen were who first came to bore the well. He com- mences on the same hole that Roy Barker left at a depth of 52o feet, and with the machinery he has the prospects are that he will not be long in reaching water Dothan Siftings. '.

Cleveland has assumed to speak to us as one vested with prerogative. remarks the St. Louis Post-Dispach. He has seemed to fear that the land is ripe for treason and that what the powers do must be done suddenly, swiftly and with out warning, in order to bring traitorous schemes to naught. So far as his oppor- tunities have allowed him he has been more of ear than president.
 We cannot avoid the conviction that MT Meknley's course is one of premed1- tated contrast. He wants to show us how real republican can be more dem- ocratic than an alleged democrat. The fact is one which involves a vital truth as well as a vital distinction. MT. Mc- Kinley makes both more vital by saying, in an accredited interview, that his cab inet officers shall be his advisers and not his clerks. There is an unkind reflection in this upon all the present cabinet but Mr.Olney, but the country already knows the truth anyway, and is glad to be as- asured of new departure. For though the Buffalo man has been able to find persons willing to degrade their office as well as themselves to serve him. the peo- ' pie have regretted to see clerks in the epests created for statesmen.

Judging from some of the dispaches sent out from Canton, w. J. Stevens, the colored politician from this state, was given rather the cold shoulder on his re- cent visit to MT Mckinley. The presi- dent states that he win devote his atten- 1ion in the main, not to appointments, hut to the general interests of the coun- try. Rill had better devote his time to completing his cotton factory and let 'Youngblood and others look after the of flee of the internal revenue collectorship.

EXPLANATION NOT sAT1sFAcroR,


 Much speculation was indulged in as to the results that would become ap- parent from the Washington interview of Col. Wm. Youngblood, published in the Sunday newspapers, to the effect that the "pie" to be distributed by the axemen of President Mckinley. would none of it be dealt out to any of the "carpet-bag" or foreign crowd, but be placed upon the plates of truly southern born repub- licans. The howl that went up from all over Alabama seems to have been plainly heard by National Committeeman Young blood at Washington and apparently the loudest from Birmingham, as he lost no time in hieing himself here and consult ing the oracles. The colonel became, it is said, painfully aware that verbal ex- plantations would not alone atone for the act, causing him to become apparent in an interview. Neither did this fully satis- fly all, and it is whispered that the colonel went away sore at heart, while there are many of his republican brethren al- leging that said interview was milk and water affair, and not in any sense a denial of what had been published as coming from him in the matter of the distribution of "pie" to the hungry crowd in Alabama. .s- asa
