task assigned him? In the navy. If dar- ing and heroic feat become desirable, have we not Hobson?
 Nor is this all If the democrats of the house need a leader now and a future speaker, Alabama at once presents the maker was needed in Samoa. another Ala bamian was ready to fill the gap. Chief Justice Chambers who has been fully vindicated in every respect. was the man. And when the Van Wyck boomers needed a director-general, none other than our own Joe Wtllett was chosen.
 Among women the country never tires of hearing from Miss Annie Wheeler. the de- voted nurse, who is now speeding across the broad Pacific to the Philippines; or of Miss Helen Kellar, whose accomplish nents are the wonder of all lands; or of Miss Mary Johnston, the brilliant novelist.
 So 1t goes. Alabama is steadily at the front in all spheres of endeayor. MT. Hannis' work on the constitution of Eng land is the standard text book of Oxford and the great Anglo-Saxon race. Whatever Alabama does in earnest seems to go. Witness the work of President Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee Then there is Surgeon wyeth, who stands at the head of his profession. He, too, is an Alabamian. The list is not complete. but The Age Herald has named enough to make 1t plain that Alabama can go to the front when she Is so minded, and that is very often

A SOUTHERN STORY WRITER

From tne Nashville American.
 The Atlanta Constitution pays an extra ordinary compliment to southern girl. Mary Johnson, a Virginian, but now a resident of Birmingham, Ala, who Is the author of "Prisoners of Hope..' The Constitution-and- we presume the article was written by Joel Chandler Harris, which renders 1t all the more valuable-declares that the 'book is in class by itself and stands alone, so far as American fiction is concerned" and that it places it's author at the head of modern writers of American fiction.' .s-
 The book, a story of early colonial days, has been pronounced a great success by the public and the critics, but none, we think, have given it so high place as the Con- stitution. Winston Churchills "Richard Carvel,' and Mary Johnson's "Prisoners of Hope" lead us to believe that something strong and lasting in American fiction will be produced by one of these two writers. both of whom have their masterpiece yet to execute.

Parties and Divisions in France.

France is on the verge of a revolution. and ever has been since the days of Louis XVI, and perhaps ever will be. Call the parties what you will, they consist on the one side of the friends of the republic, and on the other of the enemies of it. Just selves nationalists. Some of them are Or leanists or royalists, some of them imper- ialists or Bonapartists, some of them are simply Jew-haters or anti-Semitists. All are banded together under the name of na- tionalists in the hope of overthrowing the republic. Back of them stand thousands or army officers, but not tho rank and file of the army; the church, Fand therefore the women of France; society and the old aristocracy reaching back of the second empire, and very many substantial French men. It is a pretty strong combination.
 The League of Patriots claims to be friendly to the republic, but few believe its claims. It is the champion and friend of rarmee. The ant-Semite club sprang from the Dreyfus case. The Young Royalists are simply partisans of the Orleans family. They want an Orleans prince at the head of France instead of the peasant president.
 The truth is, all three are opposed to President Loubet and his government. The Young Royalists openly advocate the cause of the Due d'Orleans; the anti-Semites want a government that will drive the Jews out of Frapce, and the Patriots want presi- dent chosen by popular vote instead of one elected by $50 deputies and senators. It will thus be seen that all want to get rid of President Loubet, but none or all of them dare undertake the inauguration of rovo- lution. although the signs of the times seem to point to ono. Just at the moment the country may be said to be divided between Dreyfusites and carbohydrates. the for mer being the real friends of the republic of President Loubet, and the latter it's enemies.

AN ENGLISH LADS LONG DAY

From Youths Companion.
 There is no "eight hour" law in London for small boys who have to help earn their living, and probably if they heard of ten hour law they would think the news too good to be true. The London Leader pre- sents the typical case of H. O., aged eleven who attends the Baker street school, Step ney.

Cotton-Millinu in Alabama.

Tn the first six months of the present year a new mill enterprise was started at Talladega, and Huntsville secured the loca- ton of the Merrimack mills-just two in all in six months. In the same six months 8 new mills were started In North Carolina, and 26 in Georgia. Why this difference?
 Water powers are more abundant in Ala bama than in either North Carolina, South Carolina or Georgia, this being the river state of the Union. As for fuel steam coal of the best quality can be had here at from 80 to 90 cents. In Georgia it costs twice as much, and in the Carolinas three times as much, or even more. This state produces over million bales of cotton, much of it of high quality. There is an abundance of white labor in every county.
 The trouble in Alabama seems to be that every town is waiting for capitalists to come from New England. as they have re- gently come to Lock Three, St. Clair coun- ty This is mistaken policy. The mills in North Carolina and Georgia are chiefly small mills, built by nome capltaii anu N is now we'll established that such mills are relatively more profitable than large mills. Instead of waiting for foreign capitalists, who may never come. towns like Demopo- lis, Marion, Greensboro, Greenville, Troy, Opelika and Eutaw should proceed at once to build a 10000 spindle mill on home cap ital gathered perhaps on the instalment plan. It need not contain at first any looms, and it's cost would be easily within the surplus means of any one of the towns named.
 This is what Alabama should do. There is no reason why this state should be such a laggard in cotton-milling. There is every reason why the very seat and center of cotton-manufacturing should be in this state. It has water power and water com- munication to the sea; 1t has the cheapest fuel in the world; 1t is central in the cot ton belt; it is full of white labor needing employment.

Action in Hiqh Jackson.

The democratic county executive commit tee in Jackson county has anticipated &C., tion by the state executive committee, by calling primaries in which shall be ex- pressed the choices of the party in tic county, alike for county officers, and for governor and United States senator. These primaries are to be held in each beat in the county on Saturday, December 16. High Jackson will after date be no longer an unknown political quantity. Everybody will then know where it stands, and up to that date in the Christmas month Jack son will possess unusual interest for all observers of state politics. The county will set the pace unless some county anticipates its action by naming an earlier day. As things now stand Jackson will start the campaign.
 The authorities doubtless assume that the state executive committee cannot be induced to adopt the South Carolina plan. In the Palmetto State primaries are held in every county in one day, and the vote for governor or United States senator is consolidated, and the man who receives a pluarlity becomes the nominee of the lerbe was thus nominated, and so was Sem ator McLaurin. South Carolina could not be induced to go back to the vicious con ,vention plan. Georgia is following in her footsteps. Alabama should do likewise. The trend of politics is towards popular action in primaries, as against clique ac- tion in conventions But Jackson county evidently lacks confidence in the adoption of the South Carolina plan by the state executive committee, and so 1t has been determined in that alert and progressive for governor and select delegates that will uphold that choice in a state convention. Members of the legislature will be selected in like manner, pledged to uphold at all turns and under all circumstances the countys choice for United States senator
 Jackson's step is a commendable one in every respect. Every democrat in the county may now participate in the selec- ton of a candidate for governor and for United States senator Under-the old plan such selection would, so far as the county is concerned have been made by not ex- ceeding one hundred men-perhaps, by not over a dozen Jackson county believes in equality of political rights. It believes one mans vote or choice is as big as the next mans. It believes tffat power should rest in all of the people-in the many, not in a few.

WHO SHALL VOTE
From the Huntsville Mercury.

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 When the bars were let down in 1896, the Mercury entered a protest against that action. It insisted that the backbone of populism was broken, and that the men who made the fight against the organized democracy two and four years before, should come back into the party at the general election.
 Now the Selma Telegram and other weeklies of character and standing are asking that voters in the democratic pri- maries be judged as to qualifications be- fore being permitted to cast their votes in nominating primaries The Telegram in sists that such action is necessary to pre- vent the participation of political ''pirates and sneaks" It believes men will vote in the primaries for purposes foreign to the welfare of the democracy unless restricted by some party rule.
 The Mercury is in hearty accord with the views expressed by the Telegram. but it entertains no hope of a remedy being applied. The same men who let the bars down will keep them down. They were lowered for purpose and the same pur- pose will keep them down.

CURED HIM
From the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
 'There used to be the greatest hypocon- driac in Detroit remarked an old mer- tired lumberman.
 ''Wny he looks the picture of health."
 ''So he is. Tough as a pine knot. Ought to live to be 100. But when we were younger he was always grunting. He thought he had everything from gout to galloping consumption. and never expected to live the year out. He averaged a quart of medicine a day to say nothing of exter- nal applications
 What cured him?"
 ''I did He growled so much that it aI- ways gave me the blue devils to meet him. One day he was telling me the old story of how his days were numbered, and how he had complications enough to kill an alliga- tor in twenty-four hours. 'Jim, said I. you make me tired. You're just about pleasant company as skull and cross bones. There's nothing on earth the mat ter with you. Give me S1 900 year while you live and I'll insure you for s20,0O0 and secure payment"
 Did he take you?"
 Bumped at It. Insisted on paying 1000 down so as to make 1t more binding. From that minute he began to get strong and take on flesh. He was worrying about the money I was getting instead of about him. self, don't you see? I caught him five years running, and since that he lodges. Never speaks and never sees me. Hates me, suppose I'd refund but he'd be sure to have a relapse" and the old merchant not only chuckled but winked.

WOMANkIND

From the Atchison Globe.
 When a woman says she doesn't beMeve in love it is an evidence that she once be- lieved in it too much.
 The golf skirts the women are preparing for fall are ralny-day skirts under a new name. No one play golf in Atchison. but We must have short golf skirts. and will therefore wear them on rainy days. The women would wear low-necked paBty dresses to go wading in if no other oppor- tunity afforded for wearing them. o,g
 Why doesn't a woman rub her face with a "shammy" skin and get the ghost look? :?
 A young man is complimented when girl shows jealousy, but an older man gets scared. i
 We often wonder if tine average preacher the chaperone. 1
 Some of the plaid skirts the girls are wearing look like their mothers shawls pinned around them.
 An Atchison woman had a husband and a house to care for, and her duties kept her mind occupied and she was always well. Her husband died, left her some money. and it has had the effect of cutting boat loose and letting it drift: she wanders around from point to point, is dissatisfied, and, having a great deal of time to think about herself, is sick half the time as a result. This has happened in so many cases in Atchison as tc create the belief that a woman is happilst when she has some one to grumble about vita three meals day.

THE ROSARY OF YEARS

Father Ryan. Some recokon their age by years, Some reckon their life by art But some tell their days by the flow of
 their tears,
 And their life by the moans of their
 heart
 The dials of earth may show The length, not the depth. of years; Few or many they come-few or many
 they go-- But our time is best measured by tears. Ahi not by the silver gray That creeps through the sunny hair, And not by the scenes that we pass on our
 way
 And not by the furrows the finger of care On the forehead and face have made, Not so do we count our years; Not by the sun of the earth-but the shade Of our souls, and the fall of our tears. For the young are sometimes old, Though their brow be bright and fair; While their blood beats warm their heart
 lies cold
 Der them the sprinetime-Ibut winter is
 there And the old are oftimes young,
 When their hair is thin and white: And they sing in age as in youth they
 sung,
 And they laugh, for their cross was light A thousand joys may foam >s On the pillows of all the years; But never the foam brings the brave bark t rsachss tha hayan through tears> :.
