more money than you get today, but
prefers to stub along, going to seed
on $400 year, is certainly beyond
redemption, and if this community is
made up of that class of men, we are
wasting wind in trying to advance
the inauguration of enterprises to
bring money into the country is hope
less, and the sooner we realize our
impotency and either settle down to
decay or get out, the better. The
experience of most places is that they
cannot induce creameries to come
even by raising bonus and Offering
strenuous inducements. We have
one clammoring to come here and pay
its own way. For God sake, are we
going to drive it away with its dis
bursement of $40, 1000 to $40, 600 a
year among the farmers, the taxable
property that will be added, and the
possible investment in other lines of
the $50, 900 or $40, 600 the men be-
hind it representa- All they ask in
the world is for us to milk $50 COWS,
and the privilege of paying their own
way and earning money for us. If
we can't do that, for the love of
Heaven let us pull out for the Sand
wich Islands where we can live with
out work, eat fruit and go naked.

JACKSON IN ALASKA.
Our Late County Commissioner About
to Start Over the Pass-A. b.
Anderson Gets a Letter.

A. b. Anders on has received the
following letter from John Jackson
Dyca Alaska, Dec 9th, 1907.
Mr. a. b. Anderson
Dear Sir and Friend:-I have landed IN
this place with my outfit and will worl,
over the pass rs soon as can. Parties
are going over every day and have a good
trail broke. Wagons are hauling up as
Tar as the canyon, distance OF miles,
and from the canyon up to the scales, 8
miles pack animals are employed From
the scales distance of six hundred yards
hand tramway is brought into service,
which reaches to the summit, thence
down to the lakes.
1t showed here about six inches last
night but IL ruined hard to day and
think it will all be gone by night, as
there is strong south wind blowing.
There are from 100 to $50 men coming
up on every steamer bound for the Yukon.
There are parties arriving here almost
daily from Dawson; they all have more
or less gold dust. Three men had $50
pounds weighed here on counter scales.
have talked with good many OF them
and none OF them with whom have
talked had less than $4,000. Some Of them
reported new finds down on the American
side on the Porcupine and Tananaw riv-
crs; also. that there would be great suffer
Ing II not actual starvation at Dawson,
MS a good many only had grub enough to
last them Till the first OF January. They
told me they passed about 500 men gone
into winter quarters between the lakes
and Dawson who would charge them
". so per pound for grub This is a hot
OLD town, dance halls, gambling dens.
and other vicious elements are in evidence.
Building is going on MS fast as they can
get lumber to build with. Work is going
on on the electric tramwav but ii will be
at least two months before it will be in
running order, II at all. There WAS n
bunch of 200 head OF horses and so head
of cattle started in some time ago but had
TO return to the coast and are now below
here some 10 miles feeding for the winter
at Haine's Mission, the junction of the
Dalton trail.
| think the Yukon country will be
greatly overdone next year, from the
amount OF men going in there.
Kind regards 10 all the boys. etc. lam

Better Schools

From the Goodwater Advocate.
 Surely no one who will be elected to the legislature this year would not vote for a better school system for Alabama. We are the third lowest in illiteracy and will re- main low in the scale of morality, indus trial progress and civilization until this most fatal of all barriers is removed. Nothing pictures to our minds better the lower order of man as a result of Hitter acy and its twin sister, crime, than does Spain. Shall Alabama be the Spain of the United States? We have heard people say that if better schools meant higher taxes that they were against the move. The school tax that would have to be paid by the average man divided up would be but @ few dollars at best. Yet for those few dollars we have patents in the form of men who would sacrifice oil of the possibilities of the higher life and more lofty attain ments of their children. Is there a more cruel robbery than this? Can man com- init more culpable crime?

 This delegation Is said to be divided as to whom they will support for chairman of the state executive committee. It is in favor of putting out n legislative ticket and q probate judge, though 1t is probable that scme Of the independent candidates who have already announced themselves will bc endorsed.
 TEe sscond delegation Is said to have been Gottsn out h the interest of William vAnxhAn for ntAts chairman.

Food Supplies This Year
.om the Selma Journal.

From the Selma Journal ff
 If the farmers of Dallas county would act wisely they should look closely to the food supplies of the farm this year. It should be kept in mind that this govern ment is engaged in a serious war, and it will not do to assume that it will end im- mediatey. It is a long ways the best to be on the safe side in the midst of suchc con- ditions as now surround us. If the war continues through the year and beyond, and if graver complications should aris . food products of all description will be high and an excessive cotton crop by this country would be big losing business to the men who have it, if they should have to purchase food with the proceeds of it. Keep on the safe side in the midst of the present trouble, and see to 1t that the south is self-sustaining. We cannot lose any, thing by doing so, but we will certainly gain millions.

New York, May 2l.-The Financier says: In the face of the showing made by the New York banks for the week ending May 2l 1t is difficult to see how the money mar ket. is to be sustained even on the present lower level for any length of time The highest reported in fougeen months. The circumstances which have brought about the remarkable changes in the statement are not difficult to understand.
 There is a decided movement from the interior, and gold imports continued Add ed to this, the treasury Is dsbursing large sums of money, and until two weeks ago high rates forced a constant liquidation Of loans and sales of accumulated sterling bills. ss
 The result has been to throw mass of idle money into the banks. Fortunately the situation has so much improved that the banks are finding use for part of this money and the expansion of SS57,S0O in loans for the week is a cheering sign There is again some very active buying of sterling bills. Under normal circum tances the movement from the interior is only na- bond isuse has been delayed New York will probably continue to gain heavily.
 The deposit increase of over $14,O000O for the week is logical, counting the $7,2S5,OOo gain in cash and the increase of that amount and over in loans. As Is usua'ly the case, circulation continues to expand after the crisis which called it forth has ceased to exist.

Nlnety-Nine Years Ago

From the St. Stephens News.
 It may not be known by all the people of the country that the Spanish garrison left old Fort St. Stephens and went south just ninety-nine years ago this month; but such Is said to be the case. During these ninety-nine years many marvellous things have transpired. The old Fort has long been buried in an oblvious past, but the territory then taken possession of in the name of the United States has given birth to many a brave and true American, some of whose sons, as brave and true, are marching to the war cry against the Span fish posterity.

From the Coosa River News
 The DeKalb Times, (rep.) in an interview, quotes Hon. Milford W. Howard in reply to the question as to whether he would again enter the race for congress. as say- ing: "I will not. I am perfectly sick of politics and my future plans will give you later on." That is fine old ruse to try to palm off on an intelligent public. He knows the Pops will unload the nomina- tion upon his shoulders and he will have it appear that he is such a broad and brainy statesman that his party is forced to accept him, to (nis) represent this dis trict in congress.

 Montgomery, May 21.-Hon. Jesse G. Adams, chief clerk in the department ot agriculture, has returned to the city after an absence of two weeks in Philadelphia and Washington. He appears to have done Q good turn while away. for Alabama.
 He was in conference in Philadelphia for several days with party of gentlemen who are the most successful colonization operators in the east. and discussed with them the establishment of colonies in Alabama.
 MT. Adams explained the various advan- tages offered by the several sections of the state and the operators, after consid- ering the claims of all, came to the con c1usion that Calhoun county, in the east ern quarter of the state, was better adapted to their purposes. Mr. Adams de- clines to say whether the arrangement with the Philadelphians has been perfected in all of it's details but he confesses that the chances are greatly in favor of the establishment at an early date of an enor- nous colony in the neighborhood of Jack sonville, Ala
 Birmingham Negro Implicated
 A few days ago MT. Jackson Hicks, a merchant, was sandbagged, cruelty beaten and robbed In the northern part of the city. will Brown, negro was arrested and implicated Will Marks, a Birmingham negro. Today Brown was given a prelimi- nary hearing and was committed to jail without bond. Marks was discharged, there being no evdencs against him.
 Trust Company Retires
 few days ago the Fidelity and Guar antee Trust company. of Baltimore, sent to the state treasurer s25,00O of bonds for deposit as a guarantee of their contracts in Alabama. Treasurer Ellis notified the company that the requisite amount re- quired by law as $5O,O0O. instead of s25, 900, wherupon the company withdrew its de- posit and presumably has retired from the state.
