some Of US have missed, but for witch
each Of us longs. The wretch who
makes the doorstep his bed does not do
sire It more than many a luxurious
wanderer In foreign lands, whose yorv
prosperity, 1t may be, has divorced
him from the place he once called nv
that dear name. The child who stroys
from the familiar door weeps TN ba
finds it again; the man who leaves II
feels himself q suppllant to fate till he
can once more speak the word INV

comftant Of life. Deprived Of 1t, she
misses her best happiness and her finest
dignity. Even her beauty suffers, for
1t Is true Us It nOtO that part Of a
wOman's loveliness lies IN her environ
ment and that in her chosen and fit
surroundings she has n charm which
IS lacking when she is otherwhere
Home Is moreover her field Of achieve

whore she properly tests her strength
and her abilities, as men test them

COLONEL WILEY
Arose from Bed of Sickness to Perform
 Magnanimous Service.

Montgomery, November 15.-(Special)- Senator A. A. Wiley, of Montgomery, could not be present at the short formal session of the senate today, but he arrived just as the caucus of the upper house was organ ized, and was cneered with the utmost en- thusiasm He was dressed in civilian garo as became him to be dressed He wore not the uniform of leutenant-colonel or United States volunteers, as he had the right to wear. He was not looking so weli was not so vigorous of health as he mas been accustomed to appear; for he rose from a bed of illness and came to claim the privilege of placing before the democratic caucus of the senate the name of Senator Cunningham, of Jefferson, for the presi- dency, an honor that Senator Wiley at one time hoped reasonably would be his own. --e came to the senate chamber quietly, unheralded, as a civilian. He was greeted as hero, for Senator Wiley has distin- guished himself in the uniform of the na- ton, albeit he has not been privileged to appear in battle under the old flag, now so dear to every American, of whatever creed greeted Senator h Hey were perfectly sin cere The senators who gave them ap- pauded the man and his deeds.
 He is a strong, brave man, and the sen-a ators knew him to be such. f,slas
 Senator Wiley claimed the privilege of placing Senator Cunningham before the senate for the presidency, and it was emi- nently proper that he should do so. The senator from Montgomery and the senator from Jefferson, the first two counties of the state, came together, and all the sena- tors of all the state applauded them both.
 Senator Wiley will for the present d's- charge his duties as best he can. Mean time he will retain his commission i'm the United States army, because he does not see his way clear to resign. Senator Wi ley-Colonel Wiley, if you please-never yet shirked duty, and never yet neglected a friend He is of the highest, best and strongest type of Alabama citizenship.

LYNCHER'S ROPE
 MANLY'S DESERT
Mrs. W. H. FeIton Scores Slan-
 derer of Southern Women.
HER ADDRESS AT TYBEE, GA.
She Declares Was the Result of Reduc- ing the Number of Negroes Lynch ed in Georgia by One-Half-
 Her Caustic Remarks.

Atlanta, November 15-Mrs. W. H. Eel ton, whose speech brought forth Editor Manley's reply in his Wilmington paper re- sulting eventually in the negro editors en- forced departure from the North Carolina city, is at her home, the Felton farm, near Cartersville. Concerning statements that Manlys editorial was written in reply to her address before the Georgia Agricultural Society at Tybee nearly two years ago, Mrs. Felton today repeated portions of the speech. and mauS some sensational state ments in confirmation of her views. In addressing the farmers at Tybee, Mrs Eel ton said:
 'The crying need of women on farms Is security in their lives and homes.
 Tt Is a disgrace in a free country when rape and violence are public reproaches, and,~the best part of Gods creation are trembling and afaid to be left alone in their homes.
 with due respect to your politics, say that when you take the negro into your embraces on election day to control his vote and use liquor to befuddle his under standing and make his believe he is your brother. when you honey-snuggle him at the polls and make him familiar with dirty tricks in politics, so long will lynching pre-
  crease with every election, and when there is not enough religion in the pulpit to or ganize a crusade against this sin or justice in the court house to promptly punish the crime, nor manhood enough in the nation to put a sheltering arm about innocence and virtue, if it requires lynching to pro- tect woman's dearest possession from ravening. drunken human beasts, then say lynch thousand week if it Is neces- sary"
 "Since that address the crime and lynch ings have decreased 50 per cent. in Geor- gla" said Mrs. Felton, coming to the pres ent time.
 "The race will be destroyed by the whites in self-defense unless law and order pre- vail in regard to the crime of rape and the lynching that follows.
 "When the negro, Manly, attributed the crime of rape to lewd intimacy between negro men and the white women of the south the slanderer should be made to fear lynchers rope rather than occupy a place in newspapers"

BANKHEAD, LEADER.
Movement to Make Alabama Congre ss-
 man the Congressional Leader

Montgomery, November 15.-(Special)A )A A movement of national scope has cul- minated for the moment, the object of which is to make John H. Bankhead, the member of congress from the Sixth Ala bama district, the leader of the democratic minority in the Fifty-sixth congress. ." All the members of the Alabama delega- tion in the next congress, except Wheeler and Clayton, are in Montgomery and all favor Bankhead for the leadership of the house. Wheeler and Clayton are warm personal friends of Bankhead, and there can be no doubt of their attitude in the matter.
 Word has come from democratic leaders in other states that they desire Bankhead to lead.
 His proposed leadership is the talk of the hotel Hobbies. It overshadows almost every other present consideration Legislators, publicists and leaders gener- ally are filled with the idea. Bankhead is the man. He has incurred no enmities, has nc foes to fight. lie ap- peals to the elect and the multitude alike. He is no mere talker, no phrasemonger; he is a man of action, a strong, relf-reliant self-made man, who simply performs his duties. Congressman Bankhead has served
 
 sentatives. He was "a new member" as the phrase goes, when he was appointed chairman of one of the most important committees of the house. How ably he discharged his duties is a matter of public record.
 In all the relations of life Mir Bankhead has proved himself to be worthy of public confidence. At all times he has been democrat of the democrats, and public leader fully deserving of the public con l. fidence. Congressman Bankhead is not a man who takes up the time of congress in mere talk, in "speechifying:" he accom- plishes that which he intends to do and does it quietly and without ostentation of any sort whatever.
 1t is not doubtable that he is the best equipped man for the leadership of the democratic minority. No man has served seat in the recently elected house, bwho does not and will not have for him the greatest degree of respect. MT. Bankhead is the man to lead. He has no fads. Con- victons alone govern him. He does not talk folly. He acts with wisdom. ii md
 The movement to make him leader of the minority in the house was not begun to- day in Montgomery. It has been develop- ing for years. The Alabama delegation is behind him. and behind him are scores of other congressman and the great weight of public opinion. Public men and private in- dividuals believe in him. John H. Bank head will be the democratic leader in the Fifty-sixth congress. WALKER, !,
