THIS item told briefly of the presenc,
III st. Louis "t a Texas merchant
one I. E Powell Of Bsird-who had
come To the city for the purpose o
paying "tf the last dollar of an old

portion of which he could easily have
escaped under accepted commercial
methods. This merchant had f.il.d
in business s"tne two years ago. Most
OF his creditors were St. Louis hou.es.
he was known to be a square man.

t" do. He Notified his creditors that
he intended to pay them 100 cents on
the dollar for every dollar that he
owed. Time alone was what he asked

to, and now, within twp years, this
Texas merchant comes to his ST,

ut is good for all folks to read n

are more honest men than rogues in

NO LEAP YEAR UNTIL 1904

From the London Answers.
The familiar rule that leap year is every
calendar year with a number Invisible by
four will be broken in 1900 which fact need
not be regarded as an indication that even
then it will be time for change This rule
of the almanac may account for the proven
bal activity of the new woman at the close
of every century. Then there is no leap
year for eight years. February 1906, will
have but twenty-eight days, the extra day
not appearing from 1896 to 1904 Centenary
years are not leap years. That year will be
broken in the leap year 1000 when the in
terruption may be regarded as an indication
that it is time for a change. Centenary
years Invisible by 400 are leap years, conse-
quently there were twenty-nine days in
February, 1900, and the same number of
days will be given to February, 1000, and
again to 24OO. The object of this rule is to
make the calendar year coincide with the
solar year.

CONSULT TIE PEOPLE

From the Sullgent Lightning.
Alabama ought to have a constitution in
keeping with the progress of the day. That
the one we now have does not meet this
condition is amply evidenced by the discus
sion which is now taking place in the
columns of the daily and weekly press all
over the state; and all that now remains to
be done is to decide how the defects are
to be remedied; whether it shall be accom-
plished by the legislature amending the old
constitution, or by calling a convention to
frame an entirely new one. We believe
that the latter is the course which the peo-
pie wish to be pursued, and we do not think
that they will be satisfied unless they are
given an opportunity to put it into effect.
Our solons at Montgomery who are hesitat-
ing over the matter are not carrying such
loads of responsibility as they imagine they
are OF course 1t is a question which re-
quires some thought; but 1t has been brew
ing for years, and we think the verdict has
been very carefully and thoughtfuly' made
UP. Don't stand in tn way, gentlemen,
the people are between you and all danger;
don't fear to trust the people-let them de-
eide whether or not we are to have a con-
stitutional convention.

State Auditor Walter S. White was ia
town yesterday. He was being warmly
congratulated on the increase the legisla-
ture has made in his salary; the increase
being from 81 500 to $1,000 a year. Eighteen
hundred dollars a year for as hard-worked
an officer as the state auditor was almost
scandalous, one would think; $1,000 is not
so bad, of course.

One of the worlds heroes, one who will
live in song and story, as well as in his
tory, long after the present generation has
disappeared from earthly scenes, will ar
rive in the city today. In the chief city of
his native state, this young hero should
be warmly welcomed. His stay will be
short, and the weather is none of the best,
but surely Mayor Evans and the council
can suggest and prepare a reception of
some sort that will enable the people of
the city to honor the hero of the Merrimac,
to look upon his manly face, and to hear
his welcome voice. Anything elaborate may
be impossible in the circumstances, but
some plan that will not unduly tax Ala
bama's brave son, and that will admit of
the participation of all the people, certainly
can be improvised and the city authorities
should assume its direction. Mayor Evans,
