ChicISen-Eating Horse.

From the Henderson (Ky.) Cleaner.
The fondness for spring chickens is no;
confined to Methodist preachers out in
the country. In or about Colesburg there
is a horse that is equal to a whole Meth
odist conference in his ravages upon a
poultry yard, The horse belongs to Mr.
]. r. Stovay and 1t is no unusual thing
for him to eat half dozen spring chick
ends at a meal. Last Sunday for dinner
he consumed fourteen. He runs after
them end as he catches them devours
them. feathers and all. The appetite on
the part of the equine has only recently
developed, but il has been sufficiently vo-
racious to put Mr.. Stoval out of the poul-
try business In short order.

TIE F1NLANpEn coLENY DODGE.

The Finlender colony, of which a good
deal hos been said in the newspapers
lately has been definitely located in
Dodge county. The Twin City News of
McRae says: The location of this colony
is now an accomplished fact The deeds
We're prepared Thursday and started on
their journey across the ocean for Mr.
Missler's signature. The deeds cover the
entire real estate holding of Mr.. Mssler
in Dodge county. The property is one Of
the finest and most admirably adapted
TO the purpose for which it is intended
to be found in the South. Mr.. A. Back
man. a native Finlander, is the pur-
chaser. For number of years Mr.. Back
man has been engaged in business in
India Recently he determined to come to
America and provide an asylum for some
OF his oppressed countrymen. Having a
brother Rev. A. f. Backman. a Lutheran
minister. end pastor of a large congre-
cation of Scandnavians in the state of
Michigan, as coadjutor he came to Ameri-
CO, landing in New York on May II. He
was soon brought in contact with Mr..
Samuel r. Miller OF Missler through some
circulars advertising the Mssler properly.
which he was handling for the German
owner. A visit to Missler was all that
was necessary to inaugurate negotiations
which were conducted to a fnalty be-
tween Mr.. Miller and Mr.. Backman. Mr..
Bac&mans plans so far as matured are
briefly these To settle his countrymen
on the land as rapidly as possible, con-
sistent with good judgment. None but
desirable settlers will be located. So far
as Mr. Paekman knows. there are no
Finlander in America who will locate
in his colony although 1t is natural that
many pensioners of his brother, Rev.
A. f.. Backman, will follow him from
Michigan. They will be welcomed, but
the bulk of settlers is expected fresh from
the old country. Within the next six
weeks Mr.. BadXman expects about twenty
Finlanders to arrive. The name of the
place will be changed to some appropriate
Finnish name that will be short and OF
easy pronunciation, not only to the Firms
but to the natives.

IMPROVING THE CHANNEL.

Augusta Herald: The river improve
ments, which were begun sometime ago
and for which s25O.OoO was appropriated by
Congress. are being gotten rapidly under
way and in a few more months the Sa-
vannah river will have one of the finest
channels of any river in the South. The
work of construction is in charge of Capt.
A. ]. Twiggs, who is thoroughly familiar
with every foot of the river and 10 whose
line engineering ability is due the fact
that il has been placed In its present
good condition. Capt. Twiggs' contract
calls for the placing of about twenty-five
miles of jetties The jetties will be placed
somewhat differently from those now in
the sides of the bank They go down the
center of the stream and in this way
throw the water with much more force
then If they were placed at the river S
edge, as are those now in use.

party of La Grange picnickers had a
bad time of it at Warm Springs Friday.
The outing had been planned for the
Fourth, but so many negroes were going
out on the train that the ladies objected
and the picnic was postponed for one day.
Those composing the party had prepared
lunch on the Sd to be eaten on the attn,
at Warm Springs but as the outing was
pos poned a day the salads-chicken salad,
salmon salad and potato salad-were kept
over until the 5th. All partook of the
salads, and nineteen out of the twenty
five were made deathly SICK only few
of the nineteen being able to make the
trip home. It is supposed that the potato
salad poisoned them. So many of the
party were suddenly taken sick that there
were not enough well ones to wait on
them.

Mo Call for Alarm.

Marion County Democrat.
 No one need be alarmed at the meet ing of the negroes of the State in Bir- mingham last week. We do not blame them for it either, as they are just as sure to be cut off from the privilege of voting as the new Constitution is ratified The resolutions adopted by their meeting cuts them loose from the white race in their opposition. which establishes the is- sue in this campaign as between the races. Now, who is 1t in Marion County that does not favor white supremacy? There is not a decent white man in the land that does not believe that the giv- ing of the negro the right to vote was the worst curse ever thrust upon the American people. The new Ccnstitution corrocts this evil that was put upon us by men who hated the South and desired to see the negro put on social equality with you and your families. It is now held up to you to say on the eleventh day of November whethsr you will accept this blessed change or whether you will vote to give the ignorant, lawless and dishon- est negro the equal rights with yourself as a citizen when God in His wisdom new CT intended 1t to be. We want the negro to have his rights and be protected by the law when he is trying to earn an honest living but the ballot is something that he does not need. and from past ex- pcrience it is evident that it would be as safe in the hands of monkeys.

roo LITTLE INTEREST.
h Taken in Municipal ARairs by
 Montromerv's Citizens.

Is Taken in Municipal Affairs by
 Montgomery's Citizens.
 Editor The Advertiser:
 The articles that "Agficola'' has con tributed to your paper upon the subject of the '.eas franchise" have produced a profound impression in this community. The articles were written in an excellent style and In the proper spirit: harsh terms were used when harsh terms were unavoidable, when they were but simple expressions of conclusions that naturally followed from an unimpeachable array Of facts. On account of the masterly way in which he has called the attention of the public to the appalling injustice of the action Of the municipal government ih granting the gas franchise to MT. Van divers company, "Agricola" Is entitled to the praise and good will of every citizen of Montgomery. His criticism will have q good effect upon all future deliberations of the City Council.
 The city of Montgomery has suffered many ills, within the past few years, of which the recent grant of the gas fran chise Is the greatest. The Council has not always bean true to the best interests of the city. This has been due entirely to the apathy of our eitisens which is as much responsible fer our condition, as the inaiscretions and less pardonable sins of the City Council.
 The people of Atlanta, Nashville and other progressive towns. keep an eye on their public sehvants, praise them, when praise is due, and subject them to soath- ins criticism when they deserve 1t. This places a wholesome restraint upon the City Council, as we'll as all public off, flcials, and brings about Q condition of affairs that we must regretfully admit is absent in Montgomery. I dare say that In q city where the inhabitants are e Intelligent as they are here in Mentgom- cry, and take an interest in the conduct of their government and effioisls. the pre- sent gas company would not even have asked for the franchise that the City Council of Montgomery granted it in this the first year Of the twentieth century. Public opinion in this town is very lax and tolerates, if 1t does not invite, on the part of public officials conduct that In other places. would bring down on their heads the scorn and execration of the whole community.
 If we want better service from those who hold once, there is but one way to get 1t. Let public opinion rouse itself, let it become active, healthy and strong. Then many things that have occurred in the past will not recur in the future. Every man has himself to blame for most of the adversities of his life, and the same is true of cities. Our passiveness has been the cause of all our troubles.
 "Agricola" has performed a signal valuable service to Montgomery. He has not only discussed In an able and lucid manner the "gas franchise" but he has set an example In criticising in the press. public officials and measures, which, We trust, will in the future be an inspire ton to lead all those who have the ability to shape public spini0n, to come out openly and boldly on the side of purity and honesty in public life.

That Black Belt Clique.
Lowndes News.

WIIUtB NeWB,
 Some North Alabama papers continue to insist that the Black Belt ciiQue'' are the leading supporters of ratiiica. uon. If they mean by "Black Belt clique" those whose methods in the past have been so condemned lately by North Alabama as we'll as Northern papers, We want to inform them that 1t is that to perpetuate outgrown conditions, ob. solete methods and tricks and ways to office with which they are most apt and familiar, who are generally agn' rati- fication. There's Stallings and Johnston, etc, for instance, as State leaders who are Black Belt Cliquers-whatever that may mean-and a lot of other smaller actly the same color and stripe But the more the good people of this section read the proposed Constitution the bett .r they like 1t and We believe this to be true of all sections of the State.

The Sumter Sun waltzes up with the biggest snake story of the season, or a story of the biggest snake, we are not sure which. It tells of a rattlesnake kill ed in the southern part of that county which was eleven feet seven and one quarter inches long, eight inches in diam eter, weighed sixty-three pounds and had thirty-eight rattles. The editor doesn't claim to have seen 1t. which is we'll for his veracity. for the story is not credible or consistent. Rattlesnakes do not grow to that size. At least, we have not be- fore read or heard of one approaching that size. Besides. snake as large as that, unless 1t was as hollow as a stove- pipe. would have weighed much more than sixty-three pounds. The story and the snake fall to consist.

General Shelley Is very solicitous about what may happen in the Black Belt in the future. Our people have been able to get along fairly we'll so far. and feel as- sured that under the requirements of the new Constitution there will be no need to resort to any doubtful election meth ods. In Mississippi the prepayment of poll tax did the work very effectually in the heaviest negro counties. and it will do the same thing in Alabama. There will be very few negroes enrolled under the permanent plan.
