What Is a Constitution?

Said a voter yesterday: "We are going to have a new constitution! What is a constitution? When mans digestion and liver and brain are normal, he has constitution. When a political commu nifty, called a State has written law which recognizes the actual physical, in tellectual and moral condition and status of human enjoyments, wants and rights found within the limits of the State, we call that written law the constitution.
 "The rule of a numerical majority of people is simple despotism. That rule is not organized society. A constitution re- presses the majority and protects the minority on the general principle of the rights of man. Minority rights Is the constitutional feature of government.
 "The constitution of the United States can be read carefully in thirty minutes yet the convention, composed of thirty nine men who made it, labored without a recess and without per diem pay from May to September, inclusive, five months on the document. Not only so but many
 
 labored in their libraries at home before setting out for Philadelphia searching ancient and modern history for plans ot a federative government. The plan oi Charles Pinckney of South Carolina, a deputy 27 years old only, as printed in Madison's Journal, became substantially the constitution. He carried it to Phila. delphia from his home.

City Directory Needed.

No directory for 1901 has been of fered to the people of this town, and the need of new one is becoming daily more pressing. The want of one is becoming each day more em- barrassing and harmful.
 On account of great additions to the population and many removals in the year 1900 the present directory is obsolete and of little value. A directory was never more out of date than that book is.
 A new directory is imperatively needed, and must be had. The mer- chants should at least move in this matter All trade organizations are interested in the subject. Steps should be taken at once by somebody to pro- cure that indispensable necessity in a town, a comprehensive and trust worthy directory of every householder and citizen in it. We are directoryless at present in the fullest sense of the word, as all know who have occasion to turn to the present volume.

he asserts that he proposes to die poor man.
 There is, however. one man in the world who is richer than Carnegie. He Is John D. Rockefeller, the head of the Standard oil Company. The Standard oil Company Is probably the most gi- gantic trust in the world. Its develop ment is the result of MT. Rockefeller's brains and energy. MT. Rockefeller's in come from this investment Is the largest of any one mans on earth. Last year his income alone was over $21, 100000. Fig uring his property, therefore, on a per cent basis his individual wealth would be more than s400, GOO, GOO. At the rate he is going expert flnanciers predict that he will be billionaire before his death. Rockefeller is, however. not so charitably and generously disposed as is MT. Car nege. Rockefeller has given largely, but he is yet deyoting his energies to mak ing money rather than giving it away He Is the master of Wall street. He can drive stocks up or force them down, as he pleases. He has the power to make all the money he desires. He can make or break any concern or railroad in America.
 J. P. Morgan is another man in position to become perhaps the third wealthiest man in the world. Morgan is today perhaps not individually worth exceeding $50 OO0,00o. His energies are devoted pri- marily to combining railroads and steel and iron properties. Morgan is the man who has gradually bought and added to Southern Railway property until it has become one of the greatest railroad sys- tems in the world. It is, perhaps, only matter of time when every railroad in every Southern State will be owned and operated by this one corporation, and gradually the great steel, iron and min ing properties of Alabama will be con solidated and go into practically the same corporation.

President Mckinley cominq South.

In April President Mckinley is to pass through Alabama and then to New Orleans en route to California. He has never visited this district, and if he were at once urged to do so by ex-Congressman Aldrich and other of his friends in whom he has confidence, no doubt he could be induced to rest a day in this town. The effort should be made. The people desire to see a President who is to serve as High Sheriff of the country eight years.
 It should be remembered that Pres ident Mckinley has never shown hos tility to the South. He is in favor of caring for the dead of both sides in the civil war alike. No act of his dis tinctly hostile to this section can be pointed out. He is a Republican, but he is the fairest Republican that has ever occupied the White House. There is no reason therefore why he should not be invited to visit Birmingham. There are many reasons why he should be. He has spoken in. nearly all other Southern centers, and if an immediate invitation be extended to him no doubt he can be induced to honor Birmingham with a visit in the course of his California tour.

Gowns in Ge0ruia.

The Georgia papers seem to have caught the imperial spirit of the period, for they are demanding the wearing of gowns by the judges on the bench. They are not ready to demand the wearing of a crown by the President, or of modified head gear by Governor-General Candler of their own State, but they want gowns for their judges, and they want them speedily.
 It seems that the six justices of the States Supreme Court recently gave an object lesson in that direction, and their dignity and general impressive ness were so great that all beholders became, if not awe-struck, at least stuck" on gowns. The esteemed At lanta Journal and the equally es- teemed Augusta Herald were, we are fain to believe, spectators on that august occasion.
 The Georgia newspaper people seem to think that Justice ungowned is a cheap and inferior article, with no great moral effect in 1t. She may req son correctly and logically, but her conclusions do not strike the average citizen with the proper snap, or per

 James Eubank had the heart of a lit- tie child, tender and trusting and with out fear. In moment his young fife freighted with the loves and hopes of good women and strong men, went out and away to the realm of shade that lies between us and the light that is fade less, and faithful spirits are stunned and dumb in the sorrow that faith and time alone are powerful to lift.
 "He was a sunny-haired, sunny faced sunny-hearted lad who romoed with his comrade laughter through the years that were too few; who, hand in hand with joy, sought the calmest retreats in the lowered spaces through which ran youths merry stream of singing waters, hurrying to join the sea of mans higher endeavors.

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT TRUSTS AND
 MILLIONAIRES RESULTANT THEREFROM

Consultations are the order of the day. Properties of like kind are being consol- dated all over the country. These con- solicitations are commonly known as trusts. They are made for profit They are simply great corporations No law that legislators, state or national, can make, seem to be able to prevent them.
 Labor, as well as capital, now organ izes into great trusts. Labor unions are nothing more nor less than great trusts. They are organized for the purpose of fixing prices, and they do 1t. They make prices to be paid for labor just the same as the great steel trusts make prices to be paid for steel billets. Therefore if legislation is eyer made to abolish trusts such legislation will of necessity be forced to abolish all manner and kinds of trusts From my observation trusts are good things to those who get in them. The two richest individuals in the world have been made so by being the chief organizers of two trusts.
 MT. Carnegies work led to the mak- ing of the great United States Steel Cor
 
 the organization of this trust MT. Car negie has been able to capitalize his hold ings and receive securities for the same to the amount of s24O,0OO,OOo On these se-. curities he is guaranteed , per cent in- terest per annum; or an income of $12.- 100000 annually. To receive. this enor- nous income MT. Carnegie has no labor to perform and nothing to do but have his clerk clip the coupons from the bonds.
 Having no family. MT. Carnegie finds 1t very arduous task to be able to dis pose of this tremedous income. He is spending it largely in building public libraries all over the country. He has just offered the city of New York $5 200, 900 to be spent in the construction of a dozen or more library buildings scattered over that great city. He requires. however, that the city of New York, or the people, must maintain these libraries and forever make them free to all
