It Is a Crime.

Sometimes the Almighty sends a pestilence. but some epidemics are in vited by the people who are their vic tims In this age of advanced science there Is not the slightest excuse for an epidemic of yellow fever or smallpox in any city in the United States. A few cases of either disease may occur, but when a community is properly regulated and kept in good sanitary condition the plague cannot spread and is speedily stamped out.
 The prevalence of such epidenrfcs is a crime, ard somebody is responsible. Either the officials or the people back of them fail to do their duty when cities and towns have filth within their borders which not only invites pestilence, but sometimes breeds it. A crime against the public health is a very serious thing. It destroys the lives of innocent persons and checks the progress and develop ment of cities, towns and whole states.

Origin of the Word ..Hoo.i,nm.y

From the Philadelphia Record
 The old proofreader was holding forth upon the question of typographical er- TOTS and their occasional influence on posterity. "The word 'hoodlum' is an instance of this" he said, as he knocked the ashes out of his pipe. "Out in San Francisco twenty-five years ago there was a notorious character named Null doom, who was the leader of a gang of young ruffians. They were a terror to the community and as tough a lot of citizens as you could find on the Coast. A reporter who had been assigned to story in which they had figured, under took to coin g. word designating the gang. He reversed the name of the leader, and referred to them as r'nood- lums.' The compositor mistook the m for an h. and as hoodlums the word passed the proofraader. And now, 'hoodlum' is recognized word and will probably survive"

HONEST AND MANLY.
A Laboring Mans Views of the Birmingham
 Age Herald.

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 In behalf of myself and thousands of other laboring men in the vicinity of Birmingham, many of whom rad your paper daily, want to extend to you my most gracious thanks for the manly position The Age-Herald took upon the subject of the killing of the laboring people in Pennsylvania by the county sheriff and his deputies.
 Every word uttered by you met the heartiest approval of the men who earn their money by the sweaS of their brow The Age-Herald is right in it's position. It is the friend of the aaboring people. It is the friend and the champion of the people who toll. It treats all class es fairly. It despfses shame and seeks the truth. The Age-Herald so far as know is The only paper in Birmingham that had the manhood to come out and fear1ssE'ly express its sentiments in be- half of the unfortunate miners who were shot down in their tracks like so many dogs. It was murder upon the part of the sheriff as your paper well S,aJted.
 A thousand cheers for The Age-H=r- aid and its honesty of purpose.
 Yours truly,
 ONE WHO LABORS.

Bishop Turner Again.

The coiored Bishop Turner is still urg- ing his people to emigrate to Liberia, and he begs the whites to encourage the movement. If the bishop will head party of coIonists a big subscription will be raised to pay their way to Africa. Nobody in this country will stan,i in the way of the negroes who desire to seek their fortune in other lands, but the whites here have too much kind feeling for the blacks to persuade them against their will.
 If the negroes wish to stay here and cultivate the virtues of good citizenship there is room for them, and they will always be we'll treated. Still, if they want to try their luck in Africa nobody will hold them back. They will be helped on their way, and the good wishes of their white friends will go with them Let Turner organize ais crowd and go with it..

A Sander Mill.

The officials of the state of Georgia have alt Hast walked up to the fact that there is a islander mill in Atlanta which is injuriug the good name of the conn monwoaluh. It seems that Atlanta is in- fested by set of newspaper Bohesnians who send off sensational arid false spe- cfals to the northern papers, and in or der to sen thear nIauter and swell their revenue they do mol he5ftate to write the most monstrous Manifestations.
 These feqlciws made 1t appear that the murderer, Perry, who was executed last week was member of the swell scc.ety set. They said Jhat he had to be guard ed by milsda to the gaflows. They wrote columns of stuff about the "unwrtten law of Georgia" which allows a husband wo kill any man who seduces. assaults or insults his wife, and they claimed that

Property and Politics.

Some of the gold organs are poking fun at the silver papers and politicians, and asking them how they propose to conduct their next campaign, now that prosperity has returned. This Is child ish. Europe's short crops and the con- sequent demand for this country's pro ducts is no vindication of a bad finan- cial system. The production of good crops over tn. sea next year may again hurl us into the valley of depression.
 The experience of the past few years should convince every man with grain of sense that this vast country with it's tseming millions and diversified inter ests needs more currency per capita, and 1t also needs a banking system un- der which every locality will have a. sound home currency. During this season of prosperity it will be a good time to remodel our defective systems so that the country will be in better shape when the next panic comes along.
 There is plenty of work for democrats to do and they should call their best leaders to the front.

An Enemy's Lesson.

The city of New Orleans had been wis., ited by the yellow fever every year for 15O years until the Yankees captured it early in the war. General Ben Butler too k command of the conquered city, and having thousands of soldiers and negroes under his order, he s=t them to work cleaning every nook and cor ner of the metropolis.
 The general was afraid of the plague, and he was determined to escape 1t if there was any virtue in vigorous sani- tary measures. So the streets were cleaned, and it became crime for a person no leave any trash anywhere. and in every direction legions of men were busy with soap, ammonia, car- bolic acid, brooms, brushes and disin- feotants.
 Yellow jack had met his match in Ben Butler He skipped New Orleans and taclkl5d other places, nor did he venture to visit the Crescent City while the Yam kees held it. The object lesson taught by the enemy is a good one, and every southern community should profit by

The Price of Cotton.

'"There is a vacuum all over the world" says the Liverpool Cotton Ga zette in discussing the conditions of the cotton markets. The visible supply is at low figures Th+ manufacturers in every country want cotton-even the mills around the cotton fields are poorly supplied. It is not possible as yet to say what the crop will be. It is certain that the Texas crop will be disappoint- ing, and it is equally certain that even a ten million crop will be met by a con- sumption of equal magnitude. The world has seldom been so cotton hungry as it Is today.
 Advice is cheap and precarious, but we will venture this proposi.ion-the statistical position of cotton today jus tifies a dsmand by the farmer of at least six cents, and not pound should be sold below that figure. A little de- lay will secure that price. We hope even more will be paid. The "bsars'' are working the -nIilIion-crop theory, and forgetting all the other factors of price

hhe Perry case was the first departure from thals law Now. the truth Ia that Perry was a very ordinary retail grocer. of the worst possible character, and his story was not believed by the jury, the governor or anybody else.

Protecting the Gulf Coast.

The excellent work os the Florida
 State Board of Health has perfected the
 defense of the Alta. tic Coast against
 the scourge from tropical countries. T',e
 Gulf Coast alons remains to be efficient
 Iy defended; and if Federal interference in a matter belonging to the States is to be discarded, the plan suggested by the New Orleans Picayune seems to us emi- nently wise and practical Our esteem ed contemporary suggests that Louisi- cooperate in the defense of Ghe Gulf Coast from the mouth of Lake Borgne to the Florida Capes."
 We do not see why Texas should not be invited to participate in the coast work. thus bringing the entire shore line on the Gulf under careful and intelli-
 gent and cooperative supervision. If the fever appears on the Texas coast hurt; railroad communication binds all together. This is illustrated in the fact that Galveston is now "quarantined" against New Orleans and points East of that city. Ask Texas to come in, and let all of the Gulf States take hold of the problem with d determination to make
 them as secure against the fever as the Atlantic States are to-day. It is splen- did task; one we'll worthy of the best ef- forts of our best men. There is more in it to life and property than any other pending State measure.

 1t cannot be said that the new devel- opments in the horrible affair near Ha- zletor, Fa., ,tnIrsve the case for Sheriff Martin. The testimony of witnesses of the one-s1de'i bs:,le and those who came on the scene before the victims had been removed is to ahe effect that most of the men were sthot while running away; that the shaIpshooters picked them off while they were sIcramibling in terror over the railway emIbankment, and that of-twen- ty-itwo- bodies examined only two were shot in frorit.

Is Poverty Increasing !?

The people liave been told so often about their increa sing poverty that they are beginning to believe it.
 Bri1 there is another side to the ques- tidn, and 1t deserves consideration. The Hon. Carroll D. Wright, chief of the fed- eral bureau of labor statistics, declares that the masses aa'e mot growing poorer. He admits thlat mcs,t of Hhe rich men are growing richer, for in new coun- try fun of mdeveloped resources capi- ta4ists cannot help making money, but he denies that there is a corresponding increase in poverty ard destftut4on. On the contrary, the number of poor people is decreasing relatively, and there are fewer of the absolutely destitute class in proportion to the population.
 In 1870, according to MT. Wright. there we're 2,505, 1928, or 32.43 per cen,. of the entire population, engaged in Seff3sup- porting pursuits. In 1880 the number had increased ito F, ,392 099 and the percentage to 34.67. In 1890 the census returns showed an earning force of 22,735, ,661, which copr.sed 3631 per cent. of 'tIhe total population. In 1850 the average annual e-HnlluRS Ou GdCH 6lupfOyS chSd6eO lf manufacturing or neloIhanlcal 11bor in- 6luding men, women and children, elmourJled in round numbers to S247 In 1860 the average was S289 and in 1870 it had advanced to $3o2. During this de- cade the absorption of so many thous- ands OF mechanics in the war for the union caused a tra nsiformal,fon of indus trial conditions and a reduction in tIhe percentage of gain, and yet in 1880 the average earnings reached $347 and in 1890 they had re,aIened $445.
 With an increase in the number of persons employed and in the percentage of wages, it follows thht poverty cannot be increasing. Stih it Is plain that there are hundreds of Thousands of people in this country who suffer, and who find it difficult to get employment at living wages. Perhaps this cannot be he3ped in a population of 7o,o00,000 people, but some very allie statesmen believe that with a better currency system. and the enforcement of the laws against trusts and monopolies there win be a general Improvements in the condition of i.he masses.
 In spite of MT. Wrighlt'.s statistics lthere is undoubtedly a good deal Of unneces- sary poverty tn the land, and some of it is due to a load financial system.

New Orleans has the reputation of be- ing the dirtiest city in the world. It is only necessary to go through its streets to verify the above statement. Stag nant water can be seen in nearly every street in the business portion of the city. No attempt is made to clean it. as is done in other cities. From the filth in the streets and the generally bad seni- tary condition it is indeed a marvel that yellow fever does not find a public habi- tation thens twelve months in every year.
