State Unlversity's Patrimony.

Every year bids fair to add to the value
of coal lands in this district, and it was al
| together probable that the course of values
and royalty would in time have made the
| State university well endowed and highly
useful institutional credit to the state, and
a blessing to her sons Such result had
| been fondly anticipated, because the trus-
tees of the university seemed to be commit
ted to the royalty plan. rather than to sales
of the coal lands in their charge. One lease
had resulted in a handsome income, and
all thought the period of sales had been
forever ended.
The sale of 400 acres at $3.50 an acre in
dicates a change of policy; and this change
cannot but be considered by the friends of
the university with deep regret. If persist
endowment that will enable it to keep in
the front line of educational institutions.
Rich colleges are multiplying. Even in the
south they are increasing. Nashville has
one and New Orleans one, and Texas at
least one and Alabama had one in pros
pect
True, the university lands were not sold
at So an acre as the lands of the Montevallo

sold at a price far below their future or
their real present value. Their present
market value may not be more than $l2oo
an acre. but a market value has little re-
lation sometimes to future value, or even
real value This is especially true of coal
lands in this district Such lands have been
doubled in value in years time, and no
one can say they will not be doubled again
| in another year. Whether this proves true
or not it is plain the university's coal hold
ings should have been held for royalties.
These lands hold deposits of coal that are
almost inexhaustible, and possible royalties
have been trown away in order to accept
| $3.50 an acre.
The policy that dictated this sale will
| prove mistake. 1t will prove blow that
the university will regret. If 1T be not too
late that sale should be annulled. The uni
versity alumni are already preparing to
| take action in this matter, and If they sue
| coed in preserving the coal lands from sale
they will undoubtedly do both the uniVer-
| sity and the state a great service.

New York, November 16.-'In my opin-
ion," says Senator ]. P. Jones, of Nevada,
"William ]. Bryan is much stronger man
today before the people than he was three
years ago. His own state, Nebraska, has
given him wonderful endorsement. The
republicans and the goldbugs sent an inn

nated?'
Nothing can stop his denomination, and
he will be elected"

Suppose we do have these little revivals

BRIGHT r.. Us ECrs IN THE SOUTH

From the Louisville Courir-Journal.
The building of textile mills i'm the south
Is keeping step with the development of her
iron and steel industries, and converting
her from an exclusively agricultural to a
mixed agricultural and manufacturing sec
ton. The south is too well adapted to
agriculture for this industry ever to be
forced into the background, as it has been
in the sterile hills of New England, but
there is no reason why manufacturing
should not be equally developed. When that
is done the south will be the richest part
of the nation.

other manufacturing enterprises will be
the result. a railroad north and south
