ONLY A VOTE.

Or a smile of contempt, ms he swills the beer

Yes. It's only n vote but the voters right

Twas dearly bought by patriots blood
Shed for freedoms sake In crimson flood.
It's only q vote, but II gives us power
To guard ourselves In dangers hour,
To lay the lash to the periured knaves,
Who play US false and are ribe-givers slaves.
To hurl them from the place OF trust,
And give II to the true and JUST

To still assert our freemnn's right.

With men who work the peoples Will.
In place OF those who serve for gold
And let themselves he bought and sold.

The bill which passed the house at
Harrisburg several days ago providing
that coroners shall have the same fee
and mileage when they have been
called and viewed body, but decided
that no inquest is necessary, as when
an inquest has been held, will do away
with one Of the troubles which many
coroners have had to contend with In
the past. Heretofore when a sudden
death has occurred and the coroner sent
for he could receive no compensation
for his troubles unless he empanelled "A
jury and held an inquest, thus some
times entailing an unnecessary expense
upon the county. The act just passed,
while allowing the coroner pay whether
he holds an inquest or not, will in real
ity be a saving to the country.

V THE LOTT CASE.

The Lott bond case continues to receive attention at the hands of the public. and as some of the Mobile papers are herald ing the popularity of MT. Lott, the ques- tion is, why is 1t he will not strengthsn his bonll as recommended by the grand jury of {Mobilel and in compliance with the law as demanded by the attorney gen. eral, and resume his duties unmoseSted? A man who hasitheld the same office for thirty-elght consecutive years and is so universally popular as the papers claim Mir Lott to be instead of offering sscuri- ty in segments in sd bond of a few thous- and Idollais he ought to be able to give a. million dollar bond on short notice. If there is nothing decayed up the creek why don't some of these many friends volunteer tol make the bond ard stop the fuss and thus save the fair city and county of Mobile from adverse criticisms which can but result in their discredit
 Speaking of the latest developments in the case the Montgomery Journal says:
 The Montgomery morning paper says of thd Lott case:
 "The latest rumor, by the way, is that a mandamuG5 proceeding is to be institut- ed against Judge Williams, of Mobile, to make him declare uhe bond of MT. Lott in- sufficient and the office vacant. How a judge can ba forced to review lhiS own Judicial action and reverse himself will be atnovel proceeding but then there are all sorts of new things nowadays"
 This latest rumor" probably originat- ed in the morning papers own mird Some person has suggested to it that probably this is one way the matter can be reached and it has forthwith stated 1t as the "latest r'unor." If MT. Lott complies with the law, he will not be disheartend. If he fails, as in the case of any other tax officer in the state, he will be subjected to removal from office in the way provided by the statutes. If MT. Lottiis so universally popular in Mo- bile and the confidence there in him is so unbounded, alei will have mo trouble in making a legal bond. If he fails to do so, 1t will be his, not the fault of the state aiJl1i n ieitra tion

who favor a removal havs been controlled by their feelings instead of judgment to lake no part as yet in the matter. Now. thaljthe paper which is supposed to speak for large portion of Montgomery cit izenship gives notice. that ''ths state house is not necessary to Mon gomery's growth ard prosperity" llhe people of the state can begin to look around to replace the old roolCery by a handsome mod:rn capitol building, and in doing this, will naturally select .lhe most accessible lo- cation. all things else considered, which ig Birmingham.

MoNTGoMERY's GROWTH.

Montgomery has something else to com mend 1t besides the state capitol. The state house is not necessary to Montgom- ery's growth and prosperity. Montgom- cry is simply destined to be a great city, and Providence has provided it with every facility for spreading out and spreading out in a substantial way. Some cities grow great iby their energies and exsrions, but it looks as though Monlt- gomery was going to have greatness thruaJ upon it.-Monltg gomery Journal.
 The above, coming from the conserva- tive Journal, will no doubt be hailed with pleasure all over the state. Ever since Birmingham became the recognized city of Alaba ma,- situated almost in the very center of the state. with network of railroads running in every direction, enabling citizen from nearly every sec- tion to pay her visit and return home the same day. it has been conceded that the capitol ought to be located here. Montgomery being am old and historical city, there has existed sentiment that the removal of the capitol might cause her downfall and for this geason many

After thinking over the matter the editor of the Athens Courier has perfect right to kick the back tax and coal oil
 law. It has been charged and sus- tained that said editor took a bite off hand at both of these juicy plums as they passed his way. In the appointment of the back tax commissioner for Limestone county, he claimed he was defeated by a populist. Now the editor of the Courier is a pretty good organized dem- ocrat; he may fight the nomination but always takes his medicine like a man when the ticket is named. Then to have it go out that the editor of so great and influential paper as the Athens Courief is excelled in local influence, by one he terms a populist, to the extent of ob- taining an indorsement so far ahead as to secure a state appointment over him for a local office is tough-real tough,
 and tends to weaken the accepted infiu- enee of so great a paper as the Athens
 Courier in the eyes of the general public.

The following lick by the Southern Home is below the belt While Capt Long is one of the most influential republicans in Alabama, and was strong advocate of Mir. Mckinley, even before his nomi- nation, yet he is also progressive, to which is doubtless due in great meas ure his falling so far behind with the tax gatherer:
 In Walker county lands belonging to B. M. Long are advertised for sale for taxes. The .Laxes and costs amount to $637, and to this printers fee of $155 is to be added. This looks as if Mckinley will have to rush some of his prosperity into the Honorable B.

a unanimity among the people upon the subject of development, and a general disposition to foster industrial growth. The plans and methods of placing the re- sources of the Southern country before the outside world are systematically ar- ranged and are bound to be beneficial to that section.
 Cotton manufactures have largely increased, and have proved to be more profitable than in any other section. Many new mills have been erected, and many more greatly enlarged, as well as provided with the most modern machin- cry and appliances. It should not be sur prising to see within a short time the cotton produced in the Carolinas and Northern Georg.a taken entirely by local mills.
 "A splendid beginning has also been made in woodworking, and there are many of these establishments in our ter ritory in successful operation The abun- dance of valuable timber, suita ble for every branch of building materials, as well as the manufacture of wagons, car riages, railway cars, furniture and, in- deed, about everythtng'of which wood is a raw material, not only makes wood working in all of it's branches possible, but profitable, as well. At no distant day the south will occupy the first rank in this important industry.
 Iron manufacturing in the south is IOTSlnS diiedQ at d Tdplu rate. All the conditions are favorable for success in this line of industry. It has been dem onstrated that iron can be manufactured more cheaply and of equally good quality fn the south than in any other section. The south is already engaged in the ex- porting of iron, and the prospects are most encouraging for largely increased foreign business from that section. It is not to be wondered at that this should be so, for all the natural advantages are on the side of the south, the only remark able thing about it being that this foreign business was not developed sooner.
 "rhe cultivation of tobacco and its manufacture into the various forms in which the world likes to use it is mak- ing commendable advancement. Better grades are being cultivated, enlarged areas are being planted and the condi-
 tions of this industry are exceedingly promising.
 "The raising of fruit is also commands ing good deal of attention. That the south is well adapted to fruit raising has been proved by actual experience, and all who have engaged in this branch ot industry have been successful. The south has no fears of competition in this respect. The south is convenient to the best markets, and can produce in abun- dance the best fruit.
 "The railroads can justly lay great claim in the progress of the southern de velopment. They have opened up rich and new territory to settlement and add ed largely to the facilities for growth and development. They recognize the fact that the prosperity of the territory through which their lines run means their success. and so even from pulSly selfish motive, iS for no other, they de- sire to foster and encourage all iegiti- mate enterprises.
