Shocking News from Texas.

Birmingham News.
 The shocking news comes from the oil region of Texas that the Hon Charles A. Towne erstwhile king bee of the Populist octopus hunters. has just visited that section. where he was trying to buy for a million or more fifteen acres of oil lands. Worse than this, he was reported to be "acting fol a syndicate of capitalists" although his own share in the property was to be large. A year ago MT. Towne and his kind regarded it as a crime to be rich. Now that they are bathing in the sea of prosperity they are evidently of different opinion, for instead of plucking the plutocrats by the beard they are themselves budding into plu- tocrats. As The New York Sun ob- serves. such back-sliding is very sad but 1t is also very natural.

BY WAY OF REPLY.

As a sufficient reply to lengthy editorial in The Brewton Banner, The Advertiser will state that it does not employ what is known as organized union labor."E The Advertiser has a force of reliable and competent men who belong to Fraternity, who make good wages and are satisfied, and there are never any differences between the paper and its employees which cannot be adjusted in a peaceful and satisfac- tory manner without outside aid or in- terference. That is the rock bottom principle of the Fraternity to which its employees are attached.
 For the further information of our Brewton contemporary, we will state that The Advertiser does not propose ever to place itself in a position where its work can be stopped its business wrecked and it's property injured or de- stroyed by the illegal and unJustifiable acts of dissatisfied employees acting un- der the influence or orders of outside parties, who have no interest in the off, flee. and whose interference has not been called for. The Advertiser acts on the assumption fortified by experience, that the management and the employees are fully competent to adjust and settle ali differences, if any arise. and that neither side will find it necessary to resort to arbitrary measures, or to make demands for which there is no excuse
 The Advertiser is neither a tyrant to grind it's employees nor a coward to quake every time an employe in any part of the United States decides to quit work. Finally, The Advertiser is a better friend to labor and to laboring ...An and women than are those who npend their time going about the coun- fry fomenting dissatisfaction and in ferfering with the business of others.

THE ABsURD1rY OF IT.

The Hartford Courant keenly reels the ridiculous attitude in which Con- necticut is placed by the use of text
 books in the public schools which teach that the use of tobacco is more hurt ful than the use of strong drink. It says:
 The State of Connecticut makes a fool of herself every day that she calls on her teachers to give instruction against to- bacco The cultivating of that article IS one of the great Connecticut industries. The Legislature appropriates money 10 oe- velop new methods of tobacco-curure. A discussion of the tobacco tarin at Wash- ingtn Is regarded as aimed at the entire State and tobacco becomes political factor at once. The halls and even the committee rooms of the State House teem with tobacco smoke. It is hypocrisy 10 permit this and at the same time 10 com pel instruction that tobacco IS worse than rum.
 We do not blame The Courant for
 feeling and exhibiting some degree of
 modification over the incongruous at
 titude in which the State has placed itself. Tobacco growing is one of the
 most important and profitable indus tries in Connecticut, and the Legisla- ture encourages the business. At the same time in the public schools or the State, sustained and kept up by the
 public moneys, textbooks are used which teach the children that 1t is a
 great wrong and sin to use the tobacco which their fathers grow and which
 the State encourages them to grow.
 In other words, the State encourages
 the growing of tobacco and teaches the
 children that it Is criminal to use it And The Courant. referring to one Dr
 Plumb, who has been defending the
 text books, says:
 We believe that instruction in hypoc' risy is a mighty poor business for self | respecting people to be engaged in. Wher | Dr. Plumb says that the doctrine thai | tobacco has done more harm than rum
 is entitled to respectful consideration he walks himself out of this State. Whether the temperate use of either tobacco or rum" is injurious or not
 or whether the incorporate use of th'
 former is worse than the latter, arC
 questions about which people can and
 may differ, but we thoroughly agree
 with The Courant that instruction 1T
 hypocrisy is mighty poor business"

"One and one-quarter million dollars is now being invested in new enter prises and new residences in Colum- bus,' says The Enquirer-Sun of Sun day, discussing the enterprises now un- der way in our sister city on the Chat tahoochee. It is a gratifying but not a strange announcement, for Columbus has been growing steadily and encour- agingly for years. It has one of the anest water powers in the South. has a fine country tributary to 1t, and has a live. progressive citizenship It ought. to be one of the best manufac- turing cities in all the South. and if it becomes such no one need be surprised We congratulate Columbus and rejoice pvergits prosperity.

CONFESSION AND AVOIDANCE.

In another place The Advertiser prints a somewhat domineering and imperious editorial from The Nash vile American in reply to a recent par agraph in this paper. The article from The American is a virtual admission of our statements as we'll as virtual en- dorsement of our position. That paper declares, as The Advertiser had done, that there is no negro rule in the South because, as we stated. the Democrats have prevented it by methods of which they are heartily tired, and which they intend to change.
 We repeat, with emphasis, that any paper which asserts that there would be no danger of negro rule in the South if the white men did not prevent it by methods which cannot be defended. and
 which cannot forever be continued such a paper does not know what it is talking about. The American Is un- necessarily positive and dictatorial in it's assertions, and yet, with all its cen- sure it arrives by a different route at the very same point this paper did. It admits that there are many localities in the South where the colored voters would overwhelm the whites if they were allowed. It admits that in those localities the white man rules because he has to-. When it says that the ne- gro should not be allowed to vote now except under wise limits and restric- tions," it admits that his free and un- challenged vote would be dangerous, and when it further says that with the elimination of the ignorant negro vote will pass the necessity or excuse for resort to methods which are repug- nant to honest men,"it slaps itself in the face and admits just what we con tended for.
 It is to get rid of the methods which have prevailed in Alabama for more than a quarter of a century. and which methods were the only means of throw ing off and keeping off negro domina- ton. and of which white men are weary; we repeat, it is to get rid Of all this that the finest body of Alabam- ians which ever met together in the old Capitol are now at work to form new Constitution under whose provis- ions the honesty and intelligence of the State win govern, and corruption. ig- norance and race prejudice will De relegated to the background forever. And we repeat, with all possible em- phasis, that any statement that there is no danger of negro rule in the South is simply rot.
