LEGALIZED PRIMARIES

From the Jackson CTenn.) Whig.
 The demand for legalized primaries is stronger and more general at present than ever before and the question will undoubt- edy be an issue before the next legislature Much can be said in favor of this method of choosing between candidates and little can be said against it. The legislature to meet in January will assuredy accom- plish a great deal in the way of reform leg isation, and law legalizing primary cleo tions should be enacted by all means. Such a law would not only tend to simplify elec- tions, but inestimable good results would accrue to the democratic party. The party to keep its strength intact and maintain the solidity of it's state organization cannot afford to have its feeders, or numerous suborganizations weakened by factional di visions The primary as we have it is a prolific breeder of discomfort and disorder in the ranks of the democratic party.

bale apart is obviated. The farmer sells the mill seed cotton; it is carried into the ginnery direct from the farmers wagon and the lint is conveyed to the cotton mill in excellent condition The seed goes to the oil mill, and is at once put into mar ketable forms. The hulls become food for cattle and sheep, and the meal is either sold as meal, or else 1t is carried one step farther to the fertilizer mill. where it is mixed with acid phosphate or other ehemi- calls, and the farmer takes the product as a fertilizer with the aid of which he makes a new crop.
 The seed cotton is thus in one plant turn ed into five marketable products-cotton- seed hulls, cottonseed meal, cottonseed oil, cotton cloth and cotton fertilizers Two are shipped, as a rule to distant markets, cloth and the oil are shipped away. In the years to come the Edgefeld company may conclude to add a butter or salad oil or lard or soap factory to it's plant, thus keeping at home the products of its oil mill. Possibly, too the product of its cot ton mill can be sold in the south. But whether it can be or not, does not much matter. The Edgefeld plant is certainly in position to make goods at the lowest possible cost and that alone will enable 1t to market it's products anywhere.
 The Edgefeld mill should be carefully studied by all who are making plans for the building of mills in the south. It is a step upward in southern cotton milling.

From Field to Consumer.

An example of the new twentieth century plant of the south is now complete at Edgefield, South Carolina. It is 2 revou- tionary plant, in which all possible econo- mics can be practiced. It is emphaticallv the plant that is best adapted to southern opportunities-the one that will the ouick- est cause all the spindles of the country to be concentrated in the states that eroy the staple.
 The Age-Herald has once before describ- ed the projected plant but 1t is now con- plete and in operation. It consists of A ginnery, oil mill, fertilizer works, and cot ton mill. All four constitute one harmoni ous, well-rounded whole, in which the south will for the first time gain the full benefit of its manifold advantages. But such 2 plant must be located in a district that grows plenty of cotton; for the en- tire expense of baling and of tearing the

The Fever Situation,

Another case has occurred in Jackson, Mississippi It is of mild type, but the in- dications now are that Jackson is infected, and that it must hereafter be regarded as a focus of the disease Besides Jackson, the fever is in only two localities; and the hope now is that it can be confined to those two localities. Both are thoroughly infect ed but both are well cordoned
 The first locality is Lafayette county, Mississippi. The infection is virulent and almost as widespread at Oxford, college town, as long has been at Taylors or at Orwood. All three are in Lafayette county; and thus far the infection has not been carried to Holly Springs, which is north of the infected county, or to Water Valley, which is just south of the south line of the stricken county
 The other district includes New Orleans and all the gulf parishes from St. Bernard on the east to the parish of St. Mary on the west Franklin is in St. Mary parish The fever has appeared in Houma of Terre- bone parish. Houma is near the coast, about half way in the distance between New Orleans and Franklin. It is not, how ever, on the main line of the Southern Pa- cifc stub line connecting it with the main line.
 At present it Is best to consider the gulf parishes named as well infected Lafay- cite county, Mississippi, is also full of in- lection. If the disease can be kept within the two localities, there to run it's course until frosts come, the situation will become more hopeful, and people will begin to see that their worst fears will not be realized.

A Moral Alliance.

England and the United States" says the Kansas City Star "are in moral all liance today. which is bound to exert an immense influence on the affairs of the world even though no formal treaty for united action may ever be adopted. Wher- ever England has any contention with other powers those who oppose her will recog- nze that they have to deal with united Anglo Saxon race if they carry their plans too far"
 There is not an honest heart that finds expression in the tongue of Shakespeare that win not indorse these words of the Star A moral alliance is far better than a formal alliance It goes deeper, will last longer, and be more beneficial in every val uable respect.
 No section of the country is more inter ested in a moral alliance of the Anglo Saxon people than the people of the south. In no other section of the country is the blood of the early English and Scotch-Irish settlers so purely handed down as it is in the southern states. Up in the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee there are people who daily use the very words that Shakespeare put in the mouths of his ere ations, and throughout the southern coun- try are to be found the direct descendants of the settlers of two hundred years ago, unmixed with any later strains.
 These people will, the world may be sure, welcome the splendid blessed movement that is bringing, after years of foolish bick- ering and jealousy-in every instance sell fishly promoted-the two great branches of the Anglo Saxon family together; and woe to the man or the party who attempts here after to put assunder what Providence and human nature are plainly joining to- gether.

The Republicans BuIIdozed.

Parties, even in great states, can be bull dozed as thoroughly and as readily as in- divduals can be; and just now the politics of Michigan and New York are offering ex- amples of the former process that have rarely been equalled. In both of these states the republican machines hate their respective leaders and nominees worse than the devil hates holy water, but they are accepting the situation, and making the best of it.
 In Michigan Governor Hagen S. Pingree became an aspirant for another term He is popular leader in every sense of the word. His hand is constantly against the railroads and other corporations, and he fights Senator McMillen openly and con- stantly MT. McMillen is a millionaire many times over Governor Pingree is agn' all millionaires. The railroads are his natural enemies. It will thus be seen that he does not know the first principles of the republican party; and yet he secured a second nomination without opposition. It was Pingree or a democrat, and the ma chine accepted Pingree. It reaccepted him, ha ting him, however, as it ever has and ever will.
 In New York the party has accumulated vI4e canal scandal, millions of public money having been wasted and stolen. Governor Black is therefore to be tossed overheard, and Boss Platt and the machine have de- cided to nominate Rough Rider Roosevelt It's Hobson's choice. They must take Teddy, or practically grant the democrats a walk over. They must take Teddy in order to escape defeat more overwhelm- ing than that of President Arthur's man Folger. MT. Platt and the machine will have precious little control over Colonel Roosevelt III case ho becomes governor. but they consider even an uncomfortable governor better than denunciation and utter defeat at the polls. The scheme is, however, so transparent that the people may at the polls conclude that a military record is not quite atonement enough for the shortcomings and rascality of the Platt machine.

ROOSEVELT IS
 TRUE TO PLATT
Declines to Accept Nomination al
 Hand of Independents.
QUESTION OF ELIGIBILITY
Rough Rider Colonel Remains Quiet on the Subject and Will Leave the Matter in the Hands of
 Elihu Root.

New York, September A.-Theodore Roosevelt tonight issued statement in which he declined to accept any Somina- ton the independents might offer him. It would be an injustice to his associates, he said. The statement, in the form of a let ter to John G. Chapman, follows:
 q hesitate to write you while the inde- pendent nomination has not been formally offered me, but l am receiving so many questions as to my intentions in the mat ter that l am not willing to wait longer. My name will probably be presented for governor at the republican state convention at Saratoga on the 27th. If I am nominated it will be on the same ticket with those wno are nominated for the other state offices. The republican party will also have congressional and legislative tickets in the field National issues are paramount this year; very few municipal officers are to be elected. The candidates will be my asso- ciates in the general effort to elect a re- publican governor, republican congressman wno will support President Mckinley and the cause of sound money, and legislature which will send to the senate republican United States senator.
 Tt seems to me that 1 would not be act ing in good faith toward my fellow candi-
 
 ticket designed for their overthrow, a tick ct moreover which cannot be put up be- cause of objections to the character or fair ness of any candidate, inasmuch as no can- didates have yet been nominated.
 "1 write this with gret reluctance, for wish the support of every Independent If elected governor 1 shall strive to serve the state as a whole and to serve my party by helping it serve the state. I should like the aid of the independents and 1 appreci- ate the importance of the independent vote, but l cannot accept a nomination on terms that would make me feel disloyal to the principles for which l stand or at the cost of acting with what seems to be bad faith toward my associates.
 Again expressing my hearty appreciation of the honor you wish to confer upon me and my regret that comes in such shape that 1 do not see my way clear to accept it, l am, very sincerely yours,
 "THEO. ROOSEVELT"
 Colonel Roosevelt left tonight for his home in Oyster Bay. Before his departure he said that he had given out no state ment regarding his citizenship in New York state for the reason that he had been unable to see Elihu Root, who has all the papers, including copies of the correspond ence with his counsel relating to the tax matter. His correspondence he said, would show that he intended to give up his resi- dence in this city but not in Oyster Bay, only in order to avoid being compelled to pay taxes in both places. He stated fur ther that as MT. Root is a delegate to the state convention that gentleman may wish to lay the papers before the convention rather than make public statement at the present time.

APPLICATIONS HELD.
Officers Fail to Forward Requests of
 Privates to Be Discharged.

Washington, September A.-Assistant Ad- jutant General Ward, who is directly in charge of the enlisted service of the war department, has dispatched the following telegram to the commanding officers of the military camps and departments:
 ",The war department is overrun with ap- plications for discharges of enlisted men from members of congress, governors of states, mayors of cities, friends, relatives and others The acting secretary of war desires that you issue general order today to your command, calling attention to para graphs 762 and 765, army regulations, and to the fact that the war department will not entertain applications for discharge ex- cepting they reach it through military channels"
 General Ward has also found it necessary to send the following instructions, also by wire, in regard to the foregoing order:
 ''The department is advised that com- manding officers are holding back app ica- ton of enlisted men for discharge. The acting secretary of war directs that you instruct all company, troop, battery q regimental commanders Of your c0mTr 4 by telegram, that such cases must b. v - -warded immediately, aprovepd or d. ap- proved as provided in army esula i1As 765 through regular military channels fir action of the war department. Acknowl- edge receipt and report action.'
 It is probable that the war department was inspired to hasten the action of the department commanders in these cases by reason of the numerous inquiries rec 24vsd at the department of late from prominent persons including senators and repre- ent tives for information as to is int nti ns respecting applications of sodiers foe dis charge which have not yet been received at the department

THE SCHOOL QUESTION

From the Dadeville Spot Cash.
 The educational question is being agitat- ed among the people to an extent that in dicates an improvement will be secured. The newspapers all over the state are fall ing in line, clamoring for better education al facilities; among them The Age-Hera d keeps the matter of better schools before the people, and other newspapers join in the important matter. Our representatives should be urged to use their utmost en- deavors to secure for Alabama better edu- cational facilities. Tallapoosa's representa- tives-elect are fully in line with the wishes of the people in this matter, and need the cooperation of the other representatives. It is to be hoped that when they assemble all will be in line, ready to put their should CTS to the wheel and as unit give a mighty effort in this important matter.
