That truth is stranger than fiction is
illustrated by the following true story,
relates the Lapeer Press: About 40
years ago boy was kicked by horse.
The physician attending the case found
his skull was broken, and good share
of his brains had leaked out Thinking
to do the best he could and knowing it
would not do to leave the place vacant,
the doctor took buckwheat -four, and,
making thick batter, trephined the
skull and filled the cavity. ThaN boy
lived and grew to be a man, weighs $50
pounds and is smart as most men.
Living not far from Oakwood, he does
business in Lapeer quite often and is
all right, only once in awhile that buck
wheat batter will rise, and then he is
daft for time DR.. William Rossmap,

Of Ohio was admitted into the Union

THE PRESS AND GOVERNOR
From the Mobile Herald.

from the MoDle hefdlu
Some people are wondering how it was
that the governor carried the legislature
with him, Notwithstanding the fact that
an overwhelming majority of the demo-
cratic press of the state was against re-
peal of the convention call and the COVER
nor.
Ninety odd newspapers in the state"
says the Demopolis Dispatch, "were
against the repeal of the convention act
and only five or six for 1t; still the wish of
the governor was carried out. Now we
want some mathematical genius to calcu-
late for how great Is the power Of the
press of which We hear SO much"
The Dispatch should not disturb itself
over this matter. This is not the first time
that a legislative body has refused to hear
the voice of the press-and afterwards re-
pented in sackcloth and ashes it's great
error The time has not yet come for our
erring legislators to repent, but 1t will
come after awhile, and then, when they see
the error of their ways, and bring forth
fruits meet for repentance, we suppose We
will have to forgive them, as some of them
have been very good party men in the past,
and are right good fellows.
But We don't know what the people will
do to them as regards their future political
aspirations. While the democratic press
has not had the influence that 1t should
have had with the legislature, We firmly be-
neve that it has fully and fairly repre-
scented the views Of the democratic masses
And therein lies the power of the press
about which the Dispatch seems to be in
doubt power that makes the politician
tremble, and disturbs the soul of the boss.
We have seen no evidence of change of
mind in the democratic press. 1t has sup
ported constitutional convention, and will
support 1t again in 1900. The matter is
simply postponed. Victory for the advo-
Gates of new constitution is as sure to
come as light follows darkness. Those who
think that the action-of the present legis-
lature will settle this matter know very
little about the staying qualities of the
friends of reform A constitutional con-
Nention will be held in 1901

IT HAS ADJouRNED

From the Huntsville Mercury.
The extraordinary session of the legisla-
ture has adjourned. The convention law
was repealed, and there the business ended.
The amendments that were promised by
the governor in lieu of convention were
not submItted-the prediction of the Mer-
curry was fulfilled.
Now, that the convention has been re-
pealed and no amendments have been Of
fered, the situation remains just as it was
prior to the last session of the legislature.
The expensive machinery Of state will con-
tinue to grind down tax payers the ballot
frauds will be a menace to the morals Of
the young men of the state; the legislature
will still be compelled to consider all local
legislation at the expense of time that
should be given to general legislation; the
short terms of state and county officers will
keep the political pot boiling from one cleo
ton to another and political peace will be
unknown as heretofore.
For all these ills we are primarily in
debted to Governor Johnston. He repealed
the convention law and made possible a
continuance OF present affairs. 1t win be
years before another body of men so we'll
fitted for framing an organic law can be
gathered together, but the people will be-
gin the work today. We need new con-
stitution, and the voters of Alabama will
order it through their chosen representa-
tiyes next year.

for us as now. Our enemies are growing
more and more divided, and our own ranks
are being flied with recruits from the old
parties" At the beat meetings, which are
to be held July 4, campaign committees are
to be appointed and work by beats Is to be
inaugurated Immediately afterwards. The
Internationally national campaign will
then begin to hum.
If democrats are wise they will cease to
lend encouragement to the party that Mr..
Grove leads. 1t is the duty of every DEM
ocrat to rally to the support of the demo-
cratic organization; to uphold the hands of
It's state executive committee, and to over
come in every possible way the unfortunate
divisions of the extra session. The popu-
lists very naturally claim a great victory
in that session. They are original anti
conventionists. They can say with the re-
publican papers of the state, I'VE have
won the day" This affords them moral
strength, and they will go into the national
campaign greatly encouraged. The Bar
kerDonnelly ticket is to be firmly support
ed in every beat which contains any popu-
lists, and the democrats must get together

Southern Timber Lands.

''HS5esry year." says the Pine Belt News,
sstimber becomes more valuable and large
tracts of 1t are being gobbled up by syndi-
Gates and railway companies. Southern
yellow pine and hardwood lands are quietly
being gathered in at rate that would
astonish the country If the figures could
be gathered and published. Good timber
lands all over the south are on the verge
of boom in prices. A great deal of idle
money is seeking this kind Of invest
ment."
There is a deal of truth in this statement
of the timber situation. Holders Of timber
lands in the south should remember that
the timber of the country is practically ex-
hausted except in the south, and that the
demands upon the southern supply will be-
come greater every additional year. Every
tree in the south has value in it. Every
tree can be turned to some use. Even
sweet gum Is coming into use and value;
and all know that the yellow pine and the
oaks are wanted, and all should know that
they are worth good money. The timber
of the South should not be parted with for
a song. 1t is worth good deal of money,
and, If held, 1t Will be worth much more in
the course OF a single decade.
If the woods of the south could be turned
into Manufactured goods. they would
make this section very prosperous and
very rich; but if this be largely out of
question, then let the standing timber be
held until 1t brings a satisfactory price.
Lumber of all kinds has been advanced in
price, but every gain In that direction will
be maintained, simply because the supply
is becoming shorter every day. and its ex-
haustion can be foreseen. The valuable
forests Of the north have been swept away,
and within twenty-five years the forests of
the south will so also.

Finish the Auditorium.

The completion of the Auditorium is a
task that has a deeper meaning than the
completion of playhouse. The completed
building may, 1t is true, serve as theater
from time to time, but it will also serve
as a place for large gatherings and large
musical events. The completion of the
building would mean that Birmingham has
a handsome audience room that cannot we'll
be filled to Overlooking. and this means
that it would become a convention city,
would not otherwise come, and largely ex-
tending the fame of the town.
The completion of the Auditorium in tie
prosperous and rapidy-increasing popula-
ton of Jones valley would, too, give us
better amusements at lower prices. Com
panies that are compelled to charge from
one dollar to two dollars for seat staying
one or two nights only, could proftably
stay week. because they could secure big
audiences at fifty cents seat. The size
and excellent acoustic properties of the Au-
turn may make the entire investment prof.
liable. At any rate, subscription towards
the completion of the big building will be
by no means q gift. 1t will bring returns
in some shape, possibly in the substantial
form of dividends.
Birmingham should take hold of this mat
ter in earnest. If the control of the house
can remain in the hands of the people, all
the better; but it must be completed, even
IL its control must pass into private hands
"A popular subscription would save 1t prac-
tieally to the general public. The more
widely shares in the building are distrib-
uted the more assurance will there be that
it will be held and managed in the inter,
est Of all.

From the London Telegraph.

FROM the LOnuOn IeleSrapn.
At last the English waiter Is avenged
upon his German rival. Not for the first
time in history has race of conquerors
suffered from their conquests, and brought
back with them the seeds of servitude from
the nations whom they have overcome.
The Housekeeping countrymen of Hans
and Fritz are feeling the consequences of
the triumphs of their brethren in this
country in q very unpleasant way. Too
late they are beginning to recognize that
the reflex influence of English manners
is corrupting the native simplicity and fet-
tering the pristine freedom of the Teu-
tonic race. Hotel and restaurant keepers
in Germany have begun to insist on their
shaving off their moustaches, and the de-
mand has evoked an indignant protest
what is described as "a custom imported
from England
s'We are ROBBED" exclainS the walters, in
a strain of impassioned eloquence. ''of our
rights as German men. Why does not the
public interfere? We claim to wear
moustache, like every other free man." Tho
answer of the restauranters-a bold appeal
to conyention-that sit is the custom. for
walters to be clean-shaven, Is denounced
as nothing but servile submission to the
English" and no doubt to German waiter
accustomed to society in which the wear
ing of a moustache by coachmen and other
private domestic servants is not at all IN
usual, the new prohibition might well APP
pear to be a slayish following vi tho
foreigner.
Here, however, the hotel keepers ruls
would be considered reasonable, and we
are old-fashioned enough to trust that 1t
will continue to be upheld-if necessary, by
judicial decision. A clean-shaven waiter Is,
to our thinking as Indispensable an adj
junct of refined repast as clean napkin,
and their opposites are almost equally I'M
appetizing 1t Is all very well to describe
a moustaehe as an Ornament to the face;
but that depends. There are moustaches
and moustaches and to sanction them in
the attendants at dinner table Is to run
an unnecessary risk of the unsightly. In
the razor there is always safety. Besides,
If moustache IS to be allowed to waiter,
wohy not a beard-eyen the beard of old
age? Why not assent at once to the incon-
gruity of being waited upon by patriarchs?
True, it may be urged that the same sort
of objection was raised by the wearing of
moustaches and boards by the clergy. and
that it was overruled. Yes; but are we
sure that the right cause prevailed? Is the
church stronger than 1t was when Its min
listers could be correctly described by the
old appellation of 'shavelings?' May we
not, on the contrary, attribute some OF
the present lawlessness and insubordfn2-
ton Of the clergy to their early beginnsngs
