lschooIs Need Local Taxation.

The refusal of local taxation for school purposes, will be a hardship in this city and in Tuscaloosa, and in scores, If not hundreds, of other towns in the State. It Is regrettable situa- tion. When people are willing to pay for better schools, it would seem to be wise to let them have them. The situa- tion is simply distressing and bewilder- ing. In no other State in the Union would such an appeal be denied-not even in North Carolina or Arkansas. Why is it denied in Alabama?
 Why should not a short local taxa tion clause, based in each case on a three-fifths vote. be inserted in the con- stitution when the convention reassem. bles next Wednesday? Why should il not be broad enough to cover all dis tricts and communities that desire bet ter schools and are willing to pay for them? The three-fifths rule stands en- dorsed by the convention-why not ex- tend it to school districts? Why notY No one outside of the districts would be taxed, and no district could be taxed except with the approval of three flfths vote.

LONDON AROUSED OVER
 NEGRO GUESTS AT HOTEL

New York. August 2s.-Ali the London papers publish articles on the objections of the American patrons of the stermines Hotel to negroes and the subject Is much discussed In the hotels. says London dispatch to tho Journal and Advertiser.
 Englishmen side theoretically with the negroes, while Americans, as rule. are out-spolxen the other way.
 Bishop Gains of Atlanta. one of the ne- gro delegates to the Ecumenical confer ence, who caused the protest, is still at the hotel He said in an interview:
 1T have been staying at this hotel off and on since the beginning of July, and was never better treated anywhere. re- gret exceedingly to hear that trouble was caused by the arrival of Bishops Arnett, Tanner and Derrick I was in Paris when the protest was made
 'I have met Americans even from Texas all over the continent and received warm greetings from them. During my trip through Holland, Belgium, Germany Switzerland, Italy and France I had not an insult from an American or any one else.
 "I sailed from New York on the St. Louis. and was treated like any other cabin passenger I preached on Sunday at the request of Senator Mitchell of Oregon and General Grosvenor. America would De the best country in the world if 1t could get rid of its race prejudice.

Laboring white men in Europe are op- pressed as badly as is the negro in Amer lea, except when 1t Is a question of law. then the Iaborer has the same justice as his richer neighbor, especially in Great Britain. hope to see the day when it is the same in America"
 H. Winfield, manager of the Anglo American bank of New York, one of the protesting patrons of the St Ermins, said
 ''I do not object personally to Bishop Gaines or his daughter, who are fine peo- pie. They crossed on the steamer with me. and were liked by every one on board. He Is highly intelligent man. But with regard to negroes generally I object strongly to their presence in first-class hotels frequented by white people. and protest against the privileges accorded to them in Europe generally.
 "It gives me a shock when I see a beautiful girl walking at the side of a negro, who is perhaps her husband As for the attitude of Hotel Manager Rich ardson, I excuse him because he is an Englishman: if he was an American noth- ing on earth would make him do so. When Europeans get to know the negro as we know him, they will curtail his privileges"
 Manager Richardson said: 'I have re- ceived numerous written and verbal mes sages of congratulation and indorsement of the position I have taken"

DECLINED A JOB.

Washington Correspondence St. Louis
 Globe-Democrat
 The officers of the Treasury Depart ment today had strange experience. A few months ago, in making a selection from one of the eligible registers of book keepers at the civil service commission, their attention was attracted by the most excellent papers of young man from Atlanta, Ga.. and as they were business like and presented such a neat clerical appearance, he was selected and rendered a position at $66O year. Tn due course of time the department received a com munication stating that at that time he was so busly engaged that he very re- months afterward his name was again certified and he was again selected and rendered position at the same salary He again, in very courteous and busi- ness-like letter, declined the position for business reasons. He appeared at the de- partment today and called on the proper officers, and. after paying respects and thanking them for their selection, he stated that the reason fieo did not take the position at the times rendered was that he had business position that was now paying him $5O000 year.
 The veterans in the secretary's office speak of this case as the most unique that ever came under their observation.

WHY BOTTOMS ARE DULL.
, tha Roston Advertiser.

From the Boston Advertiser.
 The depression in the cotton industry in New England is in marked contrast with the general prosperity with most Ameri- can industries. Of course the explana- tion of a good deal of the trouble in cot- ton goods is to be found in the trouble some conditions across the Pacific. When American soldiers were sent to China and the Philippines 1t was predicted that q great market would be opened for the sale of American cotton. goods. The outcome has been just the other way. The zeal for military achievement. prosecuted under the plea that 1t would help trade. has in reality hurt trade tremendously. The ex- perience of this country in that regard has been that of many other countries. Trade does not follow the flag If the flag be carried on the bayonet's point.

CHILD LABOR IN THE SOUTH.
From the Baltimore Herald.

IOu tIc oditiiirOiC I1Ctdiu.
 The rapid increase in the number of cotton manufacturing establishments in the south has made the question of child labor one which is engaging the serious attention of law-making bodies of the several southern states.
 The Legislatures of nearly every state in the union have been called upon to enact laws prohibiting child labor In fac- tories. but Louisiana and Tennessee are the only southern states which have done so.
 A child labor bill was presented to the Georgia Legislature at It's last session. and though the manufacturers were per- law, the laboring people of the cotton mill towns opposed it with such vigor that 1t was withdrawn. In Alabama less than [ per cent of mill operatives are children under F years of age, but in South Car olina the number reaches 25 per cent.
 Aside from consideration of humanity, there are grave reasons why the employ ment of young children in manufacturing establishments should not be tolerated
 But the south is showing that it is alive to the importance of this question, and the day is undoubtedly not far dis tant when, by practical action, 1t will effectually answer the numerous criti- cisms of its record in the matter. It must be remembered that the south has but recently become manufacturing section, and some time must necessarily elapse before new problems can be satisfactorily settled and before there can be an ad- justment to new conditions.

Yellow Fever Experiments.

Three or four deaths have occurred at Havana in the course of series of experiments with disease infected mos quitoes, and the experiments have been forbidden therefore by the military au- thorities; but they were not forbidden until it was we'll established that mos quitoes do carry deadly disease germs, and that wherever disease exists mos quitoes are dangerous disseminators. The men who died at Havana in the course of the experiments have shown the world how lives can be saved in the future. They dieo that others might live.
 The lesson of this is, the mosquito must be driven out. He can readily be wherever stagnant water can be abol- ished. Stagnant water taints the air at any rate. It means malaria, and it also means mosquitoes. The war against stagnant water must go on, and 
 in this State this war should be espe- cially well conducted next year. Besides fighting stagnant water there is hope that an effective antitoxin will be discovered. Dr. Caldas, Brazilian, is now in Havana convinced that he nas a serum which will prevent yellow fever. Between medical science and plain sanitation we may, let 1t be hoped, be relieved not only of yellow fever, but of malaria and mosquitoes as well. Tn Jones valley it Is down right slovenliness and carelessness in the matter of stagnant water that rem ders mosquitoes possible.

ELECTRIC TRACTION SYSTEM.
New Plan Has Surpassed Expectation
 of the Engineers.

New York, August 23.-The first test of new system of electric traction Is re- ported in the Electrical Review issued to- morrow as having surpassed the expecta- ton of the installing engineers. This is the system that recently attracted SO much attention in London on account of It's low bid for the electric traction works in that city A correspondent in Italy. where the installation has just been com pleted, says that a speed of forty-flve miles an hour was secured without any serious jarring, and that trains of five cars were easily transported at this speed on line slxty-seven miles in length. Tho engineers are particularly well pleased with the heavier of the electric automatic appliances. This new method of electric traction Is what Is known as the high tension polyphase system, and the results of these tests have been awaited with much interest by electric railways in gen eral. .49

Supremacy of the Law.

Governor Jelks and Judge Pelham were mistaken in their estimate of St. Clair County. That county Is not unan- imously made up of law-abiding people.
 There are many good people in it, who, like the heroic MT. Garrett, believe that law and order should be maintained at
 all hazards and in all emergencies; but
 there are also in the county many peo-
 ple whose respect for law Is not over
 whelmingly great. Many of the latter
 gathered at Ashville on Thursday and l attempted to take the convicted pris- oner from the hands of the sheriff un- der the eyes of Judge Pelham in the court house.
 Sheriff North aid his duty, and the State of Alabama stands today un- sullied by a crime committed against law and order in court house itself. Whatever mistake had been made by the higher authorities, Sheriff North made none. He saw his duty and did it, and he was noDiy backed by Judge Pelham and Jy good citizens of St. Clair County to whom the honor and
 good name of the county were very dear.
 The best people of St. Clair County fatn a for they have shown that it is possible to punish a criminal in 8 case of ex- treme brutality by and through the methods of law. They have shown that law and order can be maintained by the sheriff if he be man of cour- age, and that such sheriff can com mand the support of the best men in county.
 No one deserves higher praise, not even Sheriff Nor.n. than James L. Gar rett, the father of the unfortunate young lady. Ills appeal to the people should be taken home in every county of this State. It was an appeal for the supremacy of law from the heroic neart of a sorely-stricken man. Even the men who came for the purpose of overriding the law were moved by it, and they left the court house, but evil spirits were at work, and the mob re- turned, but they were met by Sheriff North, and the prisoner was saved to the course of the law, and Alabama escaped another crime.
