flour is adulterated for southern eonsump-

flour is adulterated for southern consump- ton.
 Another remedy can be found in home made four. This involves. of course, home grown and home-ground wheat. but there is no reason why both should not be availa- ble and generally utilized. Unless consum- CTS, are willing to accept homemade flour, it will be almost impossible to induce the farmers of the state to grow more wheat, or capitalists to build more roller mills.
 Congress is republican in both branches, and If the raseally mills that adulterate flour or that make adulterants for that purpose, are contributors to MT. Hanna's slush fund, no action by congress need be expected, especially when it Is the south that demands relief. The Hanna ears are deaf to southern appeals except possibly In the delegate-ehoosing season. Delegates are, however, bargained for as any other commodity is, and question that relates to the public health has no showing in the deal. The surest and best remedy consists in the purchase of homemade flour. If every consumer would demand homemade fiour-made if possible on the spot in the town of sale-it would not be long before the vile adulterations of the brokers and dishonest nillers would be driven out.

TIE FoRGoTrEN GRAVE

Out from the city's giant roar, You wandered through the open door, Paunsed at little pail and spade Across a tiny hillock laidss Then noted on your dexter side Some monied magnets Hove or pride," And so, beyond hawthorn tree, Showering it's rain of rosy bloom Alike on low and lofty tomb, You came upon it suddenly. How strange! The very grasses growth Around 1t seemed forlorn and loath; The very ivy seemed to turn Askance that wreathed the neighbor urn, Sunk was the slab, the head de!clined, 1 And left the rails a wreck behind A No name. You traced a '6," a "7," Part of '"affiiction and part of "heavepH And then-oh, irony, austere!- You read in letters sharp and clear Though lost to sight, to memory#

Drifiina Matches Are Not Races.

The lack of wind WAS as marked ,on Tuesday, and neither boat was able to sail over the course in the allotted time. At no time in the two days has there been good air, and no one yet knows what either yacht can do in fair sailing wind, to say nothing of piping breeze.
 It is very plain, however, that the two contestants in the cup series match are very evenly matched. The sport is all the better on that account. Even the experts. the more than seamenLthe men who are both ship builders and sailors-are at sea as to which is tine better boat. Never in the history of the cup contest has there been finer sport, because never before have the contestants been so evenly matched.
 It is claimed that the course under the Jersey coast, headed by Sandy Hook, is in a sluggish sea at this season of the year, and that another course should be selected. The New York Yacht club very naturally prefers a course near at hand. Boston people claim they have sea off Marble head that is rarely sluggish and that the international races should be sailed there.
 However this may be, it is settled that the present series of races must be sailed off Sandy Hook.
 October weather is anywhere capricious and it may be that today the wind will be almost a gale south of Sandy Hook. There will be no harm done if, after forty-eight years, the cup should be carried back by the famous grocer to England. It will be brought to America again. The million aires from one side of the country to the will be a marvel in marine architecture. England may win the cup, but there will be a string, tied to it, and that string will become operative about this time of next year.
 But Sir Thomas Upton has not won the cup. He must win three races, and he has not made start yet. Today may throw a flood of light upon the relative merits of the boats. The race today must be boats attempted bo sail over on Tuesday and again on Thursday. Over this course tho Columbia must allow the Shamrock six and three-tenths seconds, which would be decisive on some days. In a true and steady breeze it may not count for much.

THE ALABAMA HISTORY COMMISSION

From the Tuscaloosa Times.
 It was a wise action of our general as sembly to create a history commission for the state, and we have but one serious criticism, viz: That there has been no ap- propriation made to carry out the obyi- ously important work. That the records, archives and history of a state should be preserved there can be no doubt, but paid service is rarely good service, and If it were, the state has no right to impose upon a few of its public spirited citizens the burden of tedious Work like this, and, too, without furnishing them with the facilities for properly prosecuting the same.
 The governor has made wise selection in appointing the commission, but their hands are tied and they are beating about begging assistance, appealing to public spirit in the general public, which is so prominent in themselves. The following gentlemen constitute the commission:
 Thomas M. Owen, Esq, Carrollton, Ala, chairman.
 Dr. w. s. Wyman, University of Ala bama.
 Colonel Sam Will John, Birmingha Ala.
 Peter J. Hamilton, Esq., Mobile, Ala.
 Professor Charles C. Thaeh, Auburn, Ala.
 They have issued a circular letter urging upon us the importance of this undertake ing, appending the bill passed by the gen. eral assembly. Five hundred dollars in printing is all right, but the bill might nave gone further and provided fund to pay the laborers who are worthy of their hire, and who cannot give Erst-elass service as a rule without it.

Editor Rawls Recoyerinr

The numerous admirers and friends of Editor Robert M. Rawls of the Athens Courier will be glad to know that he is recovering from his dangerous illness. He says this week:
 The editor of the Courier is able to be at his office again after an absence of over five weeks. Typhoid fever gave us a severe round, but with good nursing and fine med teal attention we pulled through and are able to be doing little work, though still quite weak.

The esteemed editor of the Brewton Pine Belt News drops into poetry with a local turn: a. We get it in the custard, We find it in the soup;

 We get it every meal time. And find it oft in bed,

REFLECrIoNs OF A BACHELOR.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 Marriage makes two people one, only sometimes it's one one and sometimes it 5 the other one. f74
 A man spends most of his time, after he is30, trying to live up to what he thought he was when he was 20
 When one girl says in crowd that man has been staring at her all the other girls act sort eff incredulous.
 Before a girl always gets married she has an idea she can mould a husband about the way her mother puts up canned fruit.
 You can alwayns tell whether girl ha has her nails manfcnred during the last week by the graceful way she tries to use her hands.

Trades in Politics

The Centreville Press thus touches on very live matter:
 A few days ago there appeared in the Lobby Column" of The Age-Herald an in terview with 8 gentleman who spoke strongly against trades in politics. The peoples votes are no doubt traded off years in advance by the man with a political pull.' That Is exactly what has caused populsm in Alabama today, and as long as it is indulged in there will be strife and discord in party ranks. The beat and ward politicians are taken care of so long as they can bring up the proper majority, but the people are getting fretful.

 MT. Gam had new barn put up at Beav- erton. This means something. We think he had better have chimney put to 1t, for it may be too cool this winter to live in a house without chimney.

DEMOCRAT ON DEWEY FOR PRESIDENT

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 If Admiral Dewey shall seek the advice of friends they will tell him that he should hestitate seriously before determining to compromise his fame by becoming a po- litical candidate. Would the democrats be wise in nominating him for president with out a platform? That experiment was once tried In 1S40 the whigs nominated John Tyler as their candidate for vice president. They were told that he was not a whig. But they said that he could carry Virginia for the whg ticket of Harrison and Tyler. So they sang:
 We'll vote fer Tyler, therefore,
 Without why or wherefore.
 Harrison died after one month In the presidency and Tyler became president. The history of the administration is the severest lesson in history for politicians who nominate candidates for expediency and for parties who accept heroes without a platform as their candida tes.

Roquemore for Senator

The Eufaula Times prints this statement:
 Hon. John D. Roquemore, formerly of Eufaua, but now of Montgomery, is an avowed candidate for United States sena- tor to succeed Senator John T. Morgan. The announcement did not come in the na- ture of a surprise. MT. Roquemore has written letters to some of his friends i'll Barbour asking the support of the county of his nativity and early life. He repre- sented Barbour in the state senate from 1878 to 1882, and for many years was leading member of the Eufaula bar.

The Columbiana Peoples Advocate hits at worldwide evil:
 We notice the tendency of older people to criticise the young folks of this place. We think our young people are very nice, but then there is everywhere a class of people whose sole business is to point out others faults. If some of them would quit watching and go to praying, perhaps they would have more influence.
