zeal and eloquence for and against the
Moody dispensary bill, but they are Bir-

Birmingham The bill is pending, and the
desires of the people and the value of the
bill in many directions, all need exemplifi-
cation, and there are none who can talk
and work for the city more than the warm
hearted, patriotic men and women who
have left their comfortable Birmingham
homes and domicied temporarily in Mont
gomery today.
The facts are all in favor of the aflr-
NATIVE side The bill should go through
whether it be considered in an economic
sense or in the way of policing Jones VAL
ley or as a matter of pride only. Any way
the bill may be looked at, from whatever
point of view ii may be considered, it is a

1t is clear from the story of K'ang Yu-
Wei that, although his schemes for re-
forming China have been stopped by the
energy of the Empress Dowager, they have
by no means been killed, for the reformer
himself is still alive, and he has in China a
very considerable following. The intereven-
ton of the empress, the collapse of the en-
peror, and the flight of Kang constituted
what Is known as a Chinese coup d'etat.
Most of Hangs reforming colleagues have
been beheaded, but he has still many dis
ciples in China. If his attempt at reform
has failed, the fact that it has been made
is a hopeful symptom. He is not the first
reformer who has fled his country pour
mieux sauter. Exile and prescription are
the vital impulses Of great political move
ments.

Former Judge William Richardson, of
Huntsville, is in the city on his way home,
after spending week in attendance on the
supreme court at Montgomery. Judge
Richardson has admirers and friends all
over Alabama who will be glad to know
that he has fully recovered his health. The
judge looks better and is better than ne
has been for a number of years.
1t is very generally believed that he will
succeed General Wheeler as member of
congress from the Eighth district, whenever
the general retires. Judge Richardson is
one of the ablest men in the state and he
enjoys the esteem of all the people.

SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY.
Curious Instance in Which 1t Saved Boys
Back.j
From the New York Evening Sun.

From the New York Evening Sun.
Southern hospitality is famous and
when a New Yorker went to pay a visit
at a Virginia country house this fall his
host met him in Richmond and duly es-
corted him upon the local suburban tram.
On the way out the host remarked that
he had the day before placed his H-year-
old son at boarding school thirty-five
miles from home. However" added the
host. you'll find the other eight at home
all right enough; or all wrong enough, it
depends upon how they happen to be-
have" Arrived at the country house, the
entire family turned out to greet the guest.
Among them the guest noticed a boy who
appeared to be about IA years of age, but
in so large family the children were apt
to look all the same age, more or less, and
it might be a case of twins. There was,
however, a certain establishment tempered
with no uncertain reserve in the fathers
greeting of this boy, while the rest of the
family undoubtedly had the air of standing
round to see what would happen when the
two met. So perfect is southern hospitali-
ty, however, that nothing occurred to JUS
tify these passing first reflections and
never a suspicion had the guest that the
household was not in complete accord
The 14-year-old eeemed to be in particu-
larly good spirits, and he seemed to regard
the New Yorker with especial favor. After
dinner, the boy, at the first chance, ap-
preached the guest and said: you've
done me an awful good turn, you know
and 1 want to thank you for it," 81"
cried the astonished New Yorker; "why
how on earth" by being here" in
terrupted the boy. at saved my back.
You see, they put me off at boarding school
yesterday, but l couldn't stand it, so this
morning l just lit out and walked home
thirty-five miles. OF course, 1 expected to
get awful licking, but, 10 and behold,
when father came home he had you with
him, and knew 1 was safe. He'd never
dare punish me while there was company
round, and by the time you've gone his
first rage will have blown over. You've
saved my back tell you, and you'd just
better believe I'm grateful"

TO AMEND THE LIBEL LAW

Prom the MObile news.
bill of much importance to newspaper
men was introduced in the state senate
one day this week by Senator Jelks, of
Barbour. 1t provides for the amending of
section 1441 of the code, relating to actions
for SANDER and libel The bill is intended
to give the newspapers of the state some
protection under the law of libel. 1t pro-
vides that when by mistake or inadvert-
ence an injurious publication is made, If
the same is retracted or apology made
within five days from demand, then the
party aggrieyed shall be considered suffi-
GENTLY recompensed. We hope that this
bill will pass. The libel law of this state
is less liberal than that of any other state,
and even the most conscientious and care
full newspaper manager cannot at all times
avoid running against it.

The Checker-Board Again.

utter unwisdom of checker board
liquor regulation is well illustrated in the
northwest corner of the state. For reasons
unknown and unexplained Lauderdale
county has become an excepted county,
and Colbert across the river is an unex-
cepted county. AT one end of the bridge is
Florence, possessing all the saloons that
people care to establish; at the other end
would be Sheffield, South Florence and
Tuscumbia under the dispensary plan.
This simply means that Colberts slush
money is to be spent in Lauderdale, and
probably in Florence The good people of
Colbert are, in other words, unable to Sc
cure the advantages of the dispensary
plan, be they great or small because of
the checker-board system which would
exist in that section of the state. At pres
eat the state is checker-boarded with wet
and dry counties, and the Moody bill, as 1t
stands. would be confusion worse con-
founded.

Bsfore Forty-Nine Judues.

The Dreyfus case has exploded again, and
this time a bill has been brought in by the
government to turn the hearing of the revl-
sion proceedings in the court of cessation
over to the full court, which consists If
three divisions of fifteen judges and
vice-presdent each or forty-nine judges in
all. The case has thus far been heard by
the criminal division, to which 1t naturally
and properly belongs; but as the president
of that division is NJ. Loew, a Jew, and
as the Beaurepaire explosion has shaken
public confidence in the court to some ex-
tent, the government desires to have the
case heard by all the judges of the court
one-third of it's forty-nine members at least
to be present. This action was taken as
the result of an investigation instituted by
NJ. Mazian, first president of the court it.
self
Revolutionary and irregular as the bill is,
there is no reason for believing that a
hearing before the three sections of the
court will result differently than hearing
before the criminal division would have re-
suited. The army ring have got what
they wanted; the people of Paris will see
that their highest court has been called in
its entirety; and if a retrial be granted the
unfortunate officer under the new bill, all
will be apt to acquiesce in the decision
The work of the past two months in con-
nection with the case may to some extent
have to be repeated, and farther delay
will occur, but in the end there is no reason
will be just what the sixteen judges of the
criminal division would have handed down.
The case of Captain Dreyfus is as safe in
the one case as in the other

LITTLE SAMOA

From the Boston Globe.
Size is not everything, either in nations,
cities, or individuals. ST.
Here is little Samoa, far off in the great
Pacific, making more noise in the world
than is the czar's vast empire. Less. than
"a, 900 people there manage to enlist mere of
the worlds attention than even greater
Chicago could ever hope for. =
In 1895 the British population of Samoa
numbered 203, the Germans 100, the Amer
leans 26, the French 26. and other nation
alities rs. The imports In 1897 amounted in
value to $4,000, and in the same time the
exports were $240,000. N ~
The fact is that the Samoans are so stu
ated as to be the envy of other jealous
powers. They occupy small but valuable
piece of real estate. What pity they are
not able to realize better money value OH

ELBA's GREATEST NEED

From the Elba Clipper
Elba needs a cotton mill and other in
dustrles which will surely come in due
course Of time, but her greatest present
need is a school building. Nothing would
be greater step forward than good
school building, and the citizens of Elba
will surely not allow 1899 to be numbered
with the past before it is built.
