A Humming Suburb.

Look at the Pratt City department
this morning. 1t is on the third page
and it is a bright and humming little
department. No city of the south has
a more business-like suburb than has
Birmingham in Pratt City. Her mer-
chants are up to date. They believe in
doing business and in advertising to do
business. The Birmingham merchants
are live men themselves, but they can
get new idsas from some of the mer-
chants of this progressive and thriving
suburb.
The quarantine against Birmingham
has been raised and the Pratt City mer-
chants are coming right into Birming-

A Sound Currency,
The Macon Telegraph has the following
editorial paragraph

The Macon Telegraph has the following
editorial paragraph:
Says the Birmingham Age-Herald:
"The people need larger volume of
currency" True enough, but not a larger
volume of am inferior currency 1t is the
aim of the currency rsformers to enlarge
the volume under the gold standard, and
they are hard at work today on that
proposition.
1t is encouraging to find the Telegraph
admitting that the people need a larger
volume of currency. Some of it's gold
standard allies have been declaring that
there was too much currency in circula-
ton, and that a portion of 1t should be
retired. The Macon paper may rest as
sured that The Age-Herald win never
advocate an inferior currency but it is rot
likely that any coin( token or paper
promise, based upon the faith and credit
of this rich and powerful nation will ever
be SO abundant as to cause it to be re-
gard as an inferior currency Any cur
rency which this government may issue
will hold is own as sound money.

The Climax of Absurdiiy.

Over in Georgia, when a negro in Ter
rell county was sentenced to pay a fine
of $50, or serve in the chaingang twelve
months, a private lessee paid $72 for the
convict, and then host his services. The
convfcts attorneys, in lpabeas corpus pro-
ceedings, argued that the $72 more than
paid the Negroes fine, and that as the
fine had been paid the prisoner was en-
titled to his freedom. and the lessee was
left in the lurch4 The judge took this
view of the matter, and the negro was
discharged.
Hundreds Of other mfgdemeanor con-
vNets are entitled to their release under
this ruling. Is the law paralyzed, as well
as everything else? Has 1t come to such

EnaIantl's Peril.

The Age-Herald WIS ene of the first
newspapers in America to point cut the
probable danger of the present revolt
in India, but within the past few days
the press of the country has shown
lively interest in the disturbance in the
neighborhood of the Khyber Pass.
The New York Maitland Express agrees
with the Age Herald that the revolt IS
very serious affair and is directed by
larger purposes than have yet appeared
on the surface. 1t sees in the rebellion
possibly a fatal blow to British domina-
ton in Asia, and says:
A ''holy war; extending from Constan-
tinorle to Calcutta bearing the sanction
of the sultan Of Turkey and the amer of
Afgfanistan, who are equally jealous in
their Accommodation, would be most
injurious to Great Britain and most prof
liable to Russia Such a movement, Sc
cretly aided by Russian influence, would
impair If not destroy British control in
India, and with the way thus open Rus
STA would strike out successfully on a
policy of territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT in
Asia. The Moslens would be reminded
that when the people of India were dy-
ing of starvation during last years fam
inc, Russia sent them vast stores of
grain, while England gave nothing but
sympathy. They would be made to re-
member that England. of all the Europe
an powers, has opened the occupation or
Thessaly by thH. Mocha mmedan Turks
pending the payment of the war indemflf-
ty by Greece. and by all the persuasive
methods of diplomacy they would be
taught that Russia was their friend and
England their oppreesor.
Well, the "holy war; has bsen COM
menced in good earnest, and it is report
ed that the ameer of Afghanistan is en-
couraglng it. This is probably true, and
it makes British supremacy in India more
insecure than ever before. With Russia
giving the rebels aid and comfort they
will be we'll supplied with arms and am
munition, and with the assistance of
thousands of native soldiers who have
been trained by British officers, there is
no reason why they should not do some
splendid fighting.
The mountain tribes in revolt are
strong ana desperate fellows, superb
marksmen, well-equlpped, fearless In
battle, and under the frenzy of holy
war" they are more than a match for an
equal number of Englishmen, because
they will actually court death in order
to gain instant admission into Paradise.

PICTURES FROM THE CLOUDS.
viii Try to Photograph the Tops Of the Wash

From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
New York, Aug. 29.-William IA. Eddy.
of Bayonlie, N. J., who has made success
full experiments with the vitascope gave
today the results of still NOR. interest
ing tests made by him on Saturday
Tests were made in the afternoon with
a vltascope five feet high and three feet
wida, capable of making a picture three
feet in diameter After he had sent this
contrivance 800 feet into the air by means
of kites the picture it gave of the country
round about was viewed through glasses
by William H. Wood, of Jersey City;
Charles Mills, of New York; w. r. UNI
berhuld, of Boston; Scion S. Pomeroy, of
Niagara Falls, and score of others.
Mr.. Eddy will go to Washing ton on Fri
day to get a view Of the capitol and the
Washington monument from points high
in the air. The view of the capitol h.
expects to get from a height of>50O feet.
AS the Washington monument goes up so
far itself, he will have to send his appar-
atus 700 or 800 into the air to get
satisfactory picture.
The top Of the monument will be near
est to the camera and Mr.. Eddy expects
to obtain an odd-looking picture. The
monument. he believes, will look much
like walking stick, with heavy knob.

English and American Orators.

In a recent lecture in England the Rev.
w. III. Milburn, the blind chaplain Of ghe
United States senate, contrasted "the
aristocratic hesitancy'' OF the English
public speaker with the ''spread-eagle
buncombe ora.ory" of the American poll
rician. Commenting on this, The London
Globe says that rush talk from Americans
causes their public men to lose influence
over the water.
Mr.. Milburp has been discussing the
difference between English and American
orators for twenty-five years. 1t Is one
of his fads But in this country he ridi-
cules the slow and stammering delivery
of the British speakers, and initiates
some of them for the amusement of his
hearers. IF he has reversed this pro-
gramme in the old country pictures the
orators here as disclaimers of the Elijah
Pogram school, he is to be congratula ted
upon the ease with which he adap.s him
self to his audiences.
Mr. Milburn must lbe aware of the fact
that American oratory has undergone
great changes in a generation. Every old
lawyer and politician win say that the
present fashion OF speaking at the bar
and on the stump Is very different from
the popular style of forty years ago.
The buncombe orators are only found
these days on the frontier and in rural
localities. far away from the large cities.
AS rule the average American speaker
of today is as prosy and nusiness-iike as
his British contemporary, though he
speaks more distincly and fluentTy. Very

agafs ito send them 20 the rear. The idea
