would Rather Be a Presbyter AN.

A Presbyterian father and mother who
are somewhat lax in their attendance upon
church services sat in their summer cot
tage last Sunday afternoon and overhead
the following converse ton between their
7-year-old son, Hugh, and his playmate,
who lives in the cottage next door, says
the New York Tribune.
81 don't IKE Bapusts,' said Hugh.
The playmate's parents are Baptists, and
he protested Indignantly with, "ah get
Quit You don't know what Baptist is"
Il do So" retorted Hugh. They stick
people under the water and pretend that
they are soaking their sins out"
This was a poser, and seemed to admit
of no answer. Gradually the conversation
drifted to the two Irish maids whom
Hughs mother employs.
rs Katie Rafferty, a Catholic?" asked
the playmate.
You bet she is. Why, she goes to church
every Sunday morning"
Is Katie O'Hoolihan a Cathohc?"
mo, Think she is a Presbyterian, be-
cause I never see her going to church.

the next cottage, come get dressed dear;

an air of rebellious submission; Il wish

GEN. wOoD RETURNS TO SANTIAGO.

1t is stated that Gen. Wood has decided
to remain in the army for the present and
to return to his position of military goes
ernor of the province of Santiago. A great
deal of interest has been felt In Gen.
Woods decision in this matter. The peo-
pie generally have confidence in his judg-
ment and ability. This confidence is based
on what he has accomplished. AS mill
tary governor OF Santiago province he
doesn't appear to have made any serious
mistakes. The impression is that he has
accomplished more than any one of the
other military governors in Cuba. Wheth-
er this impression is correct or not we
are not prepared to say, but the public
are not apt to be very far wrong. 1t is
understood that the electric car company
of Washington, D. c., that sought his SER
vices offered him $4,000 a year. His sal
airy as a brigader general is 5000. Still,
it is certain that he can remain in the
army until the age OF retirement, with
the chance of advancement and pension
large enough to live upon after he reaches
the period of retirement. If he had ac-
copied the street car companys offer he
might have been out Of a job in a year
or two.
However, there is very general feel
ing of relief because of his announcement
that he is going back TO Santiago. He says
that money isn't everything. He has a
chance to still further increase his fame,
and. at the same time, do his country
a real service No doubt there are other
men who could manage In Santiago as
well as he does, but the difficulty is 10
find them, hundred might be tried be-
fore a thoroughly competent man was
found. And while hunting for the right
man incalculable damage might be done
TO our interests.
1t is said that one reason Gen Wood |
had for resigning was that there was moth |
ing more for him in the army. How does |
he know there isn't? Who can tell what
the future is TO bring forth. There may
be troubles in Cuba which will REQUIRE |
man of first-class ability to deal with
them successfully. The war in the Philip
pines may fast year or more, and there
may yet be chance for Gen. Wood to still
further distinguish himself. There ought
to be a great deal for him in the army.
If he makes a big reputation in the
army he will be offered political honors
by the political party to which he be-
longs. There are chances connected with
the army Of winning both fortune and
fame, and IL is safe to say Gen. Wood
will lose nothing by retaining his connec-
ton with It.

= The Charleston Post wishes to see the
commercial bodies of Charleston and Sa-
vannah form an alliance for the promo
ton of mutual interests. The two cities
''yoked together would make powerful
team" says our contemporary. We are
sure that the commercial bodies of Savan-
nah entertain the most kindly feeling for
Charleston, and are more than willing 10
do whatever they consistently can to pro-
mote that citys interests. The Wash
ington correspondence of the Charleston
News and Courier the other day, by the
way. contained a suggestion as to how the
two cities might work together; namely
that Charleston should throw the weight

OF Gen. Otis that conditions are not favor

All provisions must be transported long
distances to reach the men who need
them. IL would be difficult for Gen. OtIs
to provide for $1,000 or 1900 men under
the present circumstances, and an army
officer who has just returped from Manila
is quoted as saying that to put 1900 men
in Manila at this time would do more
harm than good.

When Murphy shall have ridden one
mile In one minute behind a locomotive
with wind shield, what will that show;
that Murphy can propel his wheel mile
in a minute? Not at all, but only that a
locomotive, creating a powerful air cur
rent behind it, can pun a bicycle with
Murphy on it at the rate of a mile a
minute In SO far as Murphy is con-
cerned, all that will be shown is that he
can keep his feet on the pedals of his
machine while they are turning with suf-
ficient rapidly to take It oyer a mile OF
space In minute of time. and can main
tain his balance at that frightful rate of
speed. The only true way to test the
speed Of Murphy on a wheel is to put him
IN the open air, without any sort of PAGER.
and let him depend entirely upon the vigor
OF his legs to get him over ground.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New Orleans Picayune CDem) says:
1.-THE development of the South, despite
the difficulties in it's way, VIII go on in
a constantly increasing ratio. Nowhere
else. not even in Cuba or the Philippines,
are there to be found such opportunities
for profitable investments of capital and
these opportunities are constantly claim
ing attention Money is begging for en-
ployment in safe enterprises at low rates
of interest, and the South offers more
and better opportunities than any other
part of the country, or than any other
country Such advantages will not long
go unsought"

ton, In 1904 The New York candidate
finds that 1t pays to appeal to the fight

diers to the Philippines, and evidently be-
lieves that the gobble policy is to win"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says:
Henry B. Plant, whose death at New
York has been announced, was one of the
latter day transportation kings of this
country, to whom was largely due the

DENOUNCED THE DEMOCRATS.
Populists Meet at Carrollton and Adopt
 Bitter Resolutions.

Carrollton, April 9-(Special)-The pop ulists, twenty-four strong met in conven- tion here Monday. They declared against the democratic party, and adopted bitter resolutions against the holding of a consti- tuional convention. Although these resolu- tions were unanimously carried, it is known that in many localities large numbers of populists favor convention and will so vote.
 J. A. Pearson, county chairman, presided E. R. Calhoun, proprietor and editor of the Alliance News. prepared the resolutions. Delegates to the populist state convention were chosen as follows: pr. Duncan, David Corr, J. s. Woods, Colonel A. M McClung E. R. Calhoun, O. L. McKinstrey, William Watt and James Burgin. After a contest for the nomination between Dr. Duncan, Colonel George S. Youngbood and E. R. Calhoun, Esq, the latter was selected as the nominee for delegate to the constitu- tional convention from Pickens county. He announced his intention of closely canvass ing the county, and expressed a desire to meet the democratic nominee in each beat.
 Interest Is again being aroused over the proposed short line from this point to Re- form. It is known that Colonel E. l.. Rus sell of the Mobile and Ohio railroad has the iuallci diiuSi eoHoidcidtiOi, anu dS SOOH as one or two other improvements on hand are wound up he will take up the matter of the Carrollton branch in earnest. There can hardly be doubt that 1t would pay handsomely, besides it would be of incal- culable value to this section. Ebert and Arch Willett, now in Mobile on business of a legal character, are also looking after this matter
 Judge O. l.. McKinstry has gone to South- ern Pines, N. C.. to attend convention of capitalists and investors. He will inter- est them in this section of Alabama.
 Mrs. Benjamin F. Fillmore and her mother Mrs c. NJ Willet, of Demopolis, are visiting their old home here.
 Colonel M. L. Stansel, the Nestor of the Carrollton bar, and well known in all parts of Alabama as a cultivated scholar and learned lawyer, has admitted to partner- ship with himself Samuel L. Cox the son of the popular and esteemed circuit clerk here.
 Candidates are already epringlng up for county superintendent of education, this office being doubly lucrative under the new school appropriations. Among them are Professor Charles Chappell, Professor L. " Rosser John H. Stinson and Hon. NJ B. Curry, chairman of the democratic county committee.
 Miss Florence Abrams, of West Greene, who has for some time been on a visit to the family of J. o. Garner, has returned home.
