capital and the industrial classes who de- sire to earn and own their own homes; but Alabama possesses a combination of advantages for both capital and industry that is not equalled by any of her sister commonwealths. Governor Johnston has wisely decided to make a systematic effort to present to the intelligent senti- ment of the north the advantages his state offers, alike for legitimate invest ment andf or honest industry.
 More than dozen years ago this jour nal pointed out the advantages of south ern lands for emigra tion over the lands of the west For half a century the whole tide of emigration, domestic and foreign, was turned toward the setting sun, but the lands of the west which can be purchased and farmed advantage ously are all occupied, and there is no comparison between the advantages which the agricultural states of the south offer over the rewards to be won in the west The south has lands even more fertile than the west, with a most genial climate and access to markets, and no one in the south ern states equals Alabama in it's varied and accessible resources
 Governor Johnston's letter. published in the illustrated page today devoted to the state of Alabama, presents the resources of his commonwealth in clear and mat ter-of-fact way. He simply offers the truth for the consideration of the north, and he needs only to make the resources of his state generally known throughout the north, to command enough capital and legitimate industry to make Alabama advance with unexampled rapidity in the most substantial prosperity. He under stands the new conditions which are upon us; that the past belongs to. the past and that he needs only to make the easily de- veloped wealth of his state known to the nation to perform a duty to Alabama that will make future generations en- shrine his name in grateful memories.

DOG WAGON
VIII Start on Its Annual Crusade This
 Morning.

This morning the dog wagon will start out on it's annual crusade against the mongrel cur.
 Mayor Evans issued a proclamation to that effect in accordance with section 40 of the code and if your dog should hap pen to come up missing inquiry at the city pound will probably give you strong clew as to his whereabouts.
 Any dog found at large upon the streets, alleys or parks of the city without bearing a check as evidence of having been regis tered will be taken in charge and inn pounded for three days at the expiration of which time if the dog has not been re- deemed will suffer capital punishment at the hands of the marshal.
 The unusuale number of mad dogs which have been reported has inpelled the mayor to issue his proclamation somewhat earlier than usual this year.
