COMMERCIAL EXPANSION.

G ENATOR FRYE is not always safe guide to
follow, but he understands thoroughly the in
- dustrial and commercial interests OF the coun-
try and when he speaks such subjects his words
well worth the attention OF all. His address at
the banquet given in New York in his honor last
"Wednesday evening is an illustration OF both the de-
fccts and the exceences OF his statecraft Marred
here and there by unfriendly reference to Germany
and by a tone OF lingo Imperialism with respect to
the Philippines it was, nevertheless, notably strong
argument for governmental aid toward that CONNER
cial expansion which is so necessary to our welfare
Alter pointing out the wonderful development OF
the industries OF the United States and the increasing
intensity OF the commercial war among civilized ma
tons he directed attention the fact that Germany
is likely to be keenest rival for trade that her
wage rate is less than half OF ours, and that to
compete with her must devise some means Of
enabling our commerce TO meet that competition
without loss. We cannot reduce wages, nor would
it be desirable to do so if we could but we can i'm
prove our transportation system so as to enable our
merchants to deliver goods in foreign markets as
cheaply any other people
The Senator's argument on that point is interest
ing As freight ships increase il carrying capacity
the cost of transportation decreases When the
largest reighter the Atlantic was 5000 tons the
freight So so a ton; when 6ooo tons 50 ton;
s. so SO that to lower freight rates we have
only to provide for the upbuildng of a large mer-
chant marine composed of ships of the first class
Continuing that line OF argument the Senator went
on to say: I'VE should carry in our own ships and
under our own flag all of our imports and exports
We should pay to our people the 100000 a day we
now pay to foreigners. We should make OF the off
OF those ships active, intelligent and interested
agents for the discovery OF markets and the pro-
motion OF our trade Suppose to accomplish it should
cost us $Iooooooo annually would there lot be ample
compensation Great Britain Germany and France
will not surrender their carrying trade without de
termned conflict which alone will reduce freight
rates 25 per cent
After an able exposition of the advantages sure to
result from the opening of the Nicaragua canal and
OF the growing importance of the trade OF the Orient
the Senator went to point out that in the strug-
gle for that trade should have an advantage over
all European competitors by of the fact that
those markets to Pacific Coast than
to any European country. We have, therefore, only
to provide adequate merchant marine to
rich commercial development. Such being the case,
the people may we'll ask the Senator why waste
money energy and blood in a foolish adventure Of
imperial expansion when much more OF profit and
honor can be gained by the peaceful ways of indus
try and trade?

SO many quarters is by organization and by concen-
raton. Fhe Republican Representatives OF the
Western States must unite upon a candidate OF their

There is ample time before the next Congress meets
tor them to agree upon a selection With single
name to present, unanimously supported indorsed by
the press, and with all the collateral influences that
car be employed there would be a fair prospect of
success The effort itself would be manifestation of
power and would command attention The trend of
commerce, trade and population toward the Pacific

Dear Old Herald.
Once more old Pumpkin has shaken
off the lethargy that has enthralled
him and now proposes to worry the
editor and readers of your pages with
another outburst of Hill billyism.
Old Pumpkin has been prostrated
from one surprise to another all sum-
m.er. First of all surprises came an
over crop of candidates that so mud.
died poor old Pumpkin, that what
little mental faculty he possessed was
knocked silly for season. The next
came just as l was slowly GONZALES

namely, the Dreyfus courtmartial.
Now [ suppose it will shock the Jour
nalistic nerve of some of Pumpkins
few friends to think that / picked up
nerve enough to act as a critic on as
great subject as foreign courtmsr-
tial, but nevertheless / have been in
sympathy with Capt. Dreyfus ever
since he was first accused as traitor
to his country, fer could never be-
lieve it in the least. | have always
thought him a foul victim Of social
conspiracy, and | would hate to know
that we, the United States of Amer
lea, had one officer, civil or military,
that for fear or social grudge would
condemn an upright hero, such as
Capt. Dreyfus has proven himself to
be through all the disgrace, torments
and trials they could heap upon him,
and though we, the people of Ameri
ca, should always have tender spot
in our hearts for dear old France on
account of former favors extended to
us in the days of our infant struggle
for independence, it is for me to ex-
press in these few words, let such love
continue for the dear old fashioned,
honor-loving Frenchman, and not the
blind fanatics blind to honor and
everything else except sectarian
hatred, and with the happy Irishman,
let me say, it's proud that / am that |
am free born American, for America
believes in justice ahead of all.
And now, dear editor, you, with
the readers, may condemn letter
such as this on account of it's having
no bearing on any subject that is in
any way concerning us or our affairs,
but on the other hand / am confident
that many people feel as sore on this
subject as the writer. So, dear ed
itor, as even donkeys are allowed to
bray, L am in hopes this may escape
the waste basket, promising to do bet
ter next time. Yours as ever,

L will give you few dots of this
place that you may insert them in the
columns of your paper, for the benefit
of the readers of the old, reliable and
newy Greene County Herald.
We are having very dry weather
now, to compare with the wet weather
we had in the past.
These cool nights and mornings thai
We have been having, makes the sun
very unpleasant up in the day.

glad when old jack frost comes, so

Old Mount Pisgah church, near Ex-
sho, Alabama, was thronged the 4th
Sunday in September, at the yearly
protracted meeting.
A large crowd of people from many
different places attended Mount Pts
gah, that is to say from Citronelle,
Deer Park, Leakesville, Vernal, Wul-
lett and Lucedale, Miss. From all
these places mentioned, people gath
cred, until large crowd had assem-
bled. Dinner was served on the
ground, everyone seeming to enjoy
themselves.
The ministers were Pink Hillman,
Alex. Breland, Joel d. Smith and
Berry Byrd.
Joel D. Smith was called by the
church, as pastor, to serve them for
the ensuing year.
1t is with a feeling of the deepest
pain and profound sadness to refer to
the death Of my friend and comrade,
Bruster Blankenship, who after some
forty days of sickness, departed this
life in perfect peace and ease on Sep
tember 25th, and his mortal body was
laid to rest in his peace grave on the
9th, in Mount Pisgah cemetery.
Only two months and one day before
he marched his beloved wife to her
grave, there to pay the last tribute of
respect to the one he loved so dearly.
This was an occurrence very unusual,
AS this young couple were married on
the 3rd Of May 1899, living together
two months and twenty-one days to
brighten the life of each ether. When
she was called away, then after two
months and one day he was called
away. They were married on We'd
nesday, both died on Monday, and
were buried on Wednesday, and both

say that they were both honest,

lady, as | reared up and schoolsd with
them from a young age. Dear young
readers let this be warning to us all,
that God has no respect of person,
that he can take them in the bloom
OF youth as though their heads were
blooming for the grave.
