William R. kinq.

From the Clarke County Democrat.
 The Selma Times, in correcting the Mo- bile Items history in reference to Vice. President William R. King of Alabama, says:
 "W. R. King was elected vice-president on the ticket as stated, took the oath of office in Cuba by an enabling act of Con- gress, and died month after, just be- fore reaching his home near Selma"
 He died just short time, day or two, after reaching his home near Selma It seems strange that Dallas County man. a Selma man, and especially an editor of Idaily newspaper. would not be better informed touching the history of this dis tinguished Alabamian. but the young men are not posted as to all the events of that long ago. It was in April. 1853. MT. King was returning from Havana, via Mobile. and came up the river on Captain Bob Otis fast steamer, the Cuba, which at that time was making two trips a week between Mobile and Montgomery.
 The editor of the Democrat WIS fin Dal- las County when MT. King died. Ills death occurred at his home, a few miles south of Selma, and he was buried there,

A Relief Committee Needed.

As in Louisville and St. Louis, the tornado found field also for its dead ly operation in this city. The list of killed and wounded in yesterdays $ storm does not equal the lists of either Louisville or St. Louis, but still the record is appalling, the losses of prop erty distressing, and the suffering that will follow the storm will be very great.
 The section visited by the tornado was, however, narrow in width and of no great length. Outside of it are great districts that escaped unharmed. Let these districts respond quickly and cheerfully to the cry for help. Money most of all is needed, and a good deal of it.
 Fully 500 buildings are destroyed and wrecked in Jones Valley, and some systematic meals should be provided to help those rebuild who had their all in home. In order to uo this the gathering of funds must be made sys- tematically, through some organiza- tion that will push the work to the utmost. A relief committee Is needed | "a committee that knows the needs of the sufferers from the storm, and will present their claims. Let us have a Relief Committee at once. This com mittee should be charged both with | the gathering of funds and with their disbursement. All funds then can be turned over to this committee, and their money will be placed where it will do the greatest good. The suf- fering of both races should be commit to Il to this committee. Prompt action is needed, and a permanent Relief Committee should be organized today.
 All moneys sent to The Age-Herald will be turned over to this committee at noon today at the citizens meeting called to gather at the Commercial Club rooms.
 Over s2500 of donations were re- ported at the Seals Hall meeting last night. Mayor Drennen thinks more than $10000 will be needed to relieve immediate suffering. This amount should easily be raised by noon to- day. Quick help is necessary.

WARRANTED TO CURE SMALLPOX
From the Stockton Herald.

From the stockton Herald.
 herewith append recipe which has been used to my knowledge in hundreds of cases. It will prevent or cure the smallpox, though the pittings are filling. When Jenner discovered cow-pox in Eng land the worlG of science hurled an ava lanche of fame upon his head, but when the most scientific school of medicine in the world-that of Pars-publshed this recipe as a panacea for smallpox 1t passed unheeded. It is unfailing as fate and conquers in every instance. It is harmless when taken by a well person. It will cure scarlet fever. Here is the recipe as have used it to cure smallpox; when learned physicians said the patient must die it cured: Sulphate of zinc. one grain; foxglove (digitalis) one grain; half a teaspoonful of water. When thorough ly mixed add four ounces of water, a teaspoonful is dose. Either disease will disappear in twelve hours. For a child, smaller doses according to age. If coun- tries would compel their physicians to use this there would be no need of pest houses If you value advice and exper- fence use this for that terrible disease.

THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN AlAsAMi
Saved Out of the Wreck.

Out of the Teller hysteria this coun- try is to have the Isle of Pines, lying about forty miles south of the western end of Cuba, but no more connected with 1t than Jamaica is. It belonged to Spain, as did Cuba. Neither in size nor in population is the island i'm portant, although it will be handy when the Nicaragua canal is built.
 The Isle of Pines is small relatively only. It is small alongside Cuba, but the island is six times larger than the Danish West Indies which the admin istration is said to desire. It has an area of $40 square miles, but its popu lation is only S200. It's small popula- tion stands unexplained, for the eli mate is said to be salubrious, and it's soil is capable of producing all tropi- cal products.
 Columbus touched at the Isle of Pines in l494, and 1t has been known to the world ever since. It was long a resort of pirates. It is about one fourth the size of Porto Rico. Its posi- tion near the passage from the Gulf and the Caribbean Sea gives it strate- -gic value, and it's harbors add to this value. Altogether the island is well worth retaining. especially since Cuba is to be handed over to the Cubans. The acceptance by the Cuban consti- tutional convention of the Platt amendment is no longer a matter of doubt, and the title of the United States to the Isle of Pines thus be- comes perfect. Spain ceded the island to this country, and the Cubans con firm the cession.

Now Is the Best Time.
Wet,impka Herald.

From the Wetumpka Herald.
 The constitutional convention is the only practical issue at present before the people of Alabama.
 The leaders of the Democratic party have decided that the holding of the convention is a good thing for the people of the State, and have made the same a party issue It Is therefore the political duty of all true Democrats to line up and vote for the holding of the convention by which means politics fin Alabama can be purified and other needed changes made in our organic law. However, it is the unanimous decision of all Democrats that not single white man shall be de- prived of his right to vote except for crime, and that the tax rate shall remain as it Is.
 After viewing the entire field and taking into consideration the character of the men nominated throughout the State we are persuaded that now is as good time as any to launch our State into the front rank of civilization.

A Tornado, Not a Cyclone.

A tornado is described as a small, local, short-lived, but very violent storm, occurring in the warm season, in the warmer hours of the day, and in very moist air. It is a whirling or funnel-shaped storm, the velocity of it's whirling motion sometimes reach ing 200 miles an hour, exerting press ure of 200 pounds per square foot or more on building or whatever stands in its path. The funnel extends from the clouds to or towards the ground. Where this slender funnel touches the ground there the greatest damage is Lone. The path is generally but a few rods wide, and generally less than mile long, and its course is invari- ably from southwest to northeast.
 A cyclone is big sweeping wind covering several hundreds of miles in diameter, but is not generally very thick. A cyclone may last several
 
 days, and in the fall season a cyclone is apt to pass from the gulf to the land, and to blow in a destructive manner until it goes to sea again, perhaps from the New England coast. A tornado is only few feet in diame- ter, lasts but few minutes, and is strictly local in its origin and career. The storm on the South Highlands to come in this section in the spring season, occurring later in the season in higher attitudes. The records do not show that such storms are either increasing or decreasing.

MIR. MORGAN ON MANcHURIA.
Washington Correspondent of Memphis

Washington Correspondent of Memphis
 Commercial-A -Apepal.
 The question of indemnity for the loss Of American life and property in China during the recent Boxer uprising is being discussed a good deal around tho State Department Claims are coming in all the time from the consular agents in China and are being placed on file While the officials refuse to give out the claims in detail they say that the total will amount to about $25. .O0o0oo. China will be a long time making satisfaction. With a prac- tically empty treasury and claims hang ing over her head from many foreign powers, the fowery kingdom does not occupy by any means an enviable pcsi- ton. Germany leads the list with claim that Is now sso,co00O0, and still grow ing.
 It seems likely that it will be long time before an agreement can be reached as to the satisfaction of these claims. Many claimants have evidently overesti- mated their losses. For instance, many missionaries have sent in claims for the loss of sermons, some of which are val ued at several hundred dollars apiece
 
 get as much as possible from China, but such a move will be fought in the Sen ate should a treaty be made with China in regard to the satisfaction of the claims Senator Morgan announces that he Is no more in sympathy with money-grao- bfng policy in China than he believes in a land-grabbing policy. He is opposed to taking a single foot of Chinese territory. He believes that citizens of the United States should have a just compensation for the losses they sustained during the uprising, but no more. Other public men here express a similar opinion.
 It will be well-nigh impossible for the foreign ministers in China to arrive at conclusion on just how much indemnity each power should demand of China, and it is suggested, therefore, that the mat ter be left to an international board of arbitration. The losses estimated by the various powers are so different that 1t would be hard to reach an agreement Take, for instance, the difference be- tween the claims of the United States and Germany, the one asking for 25,000,oOO and the other $so000,0O0.
 Senator Morgan has made a suggestion that China might follow in order to re- lenish her depleted treasury and pay our claim. He points out that China might sell Manchuria to Russia for something like $2O0, coo, ,Oo0 and In this way pay off the claims.
 The United States in a short while will have only 150 men in China, and these will be used for a legation guard Gen eral Chaffee will proceed to the Philip pines about the first of May, and will assume command there on July 1. General Macarthur will return to the United States and be given a command here.

No Milk and Cider Variety.

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 Not single incident was reported from the State convention that is calculated to work even the sli test injury to the constitutional convection movement. There was some good-humored disorder on the floor of the convention, due to the utter inexperience of the .nresiding officer, but that was accepted as a matter of course and has no dangerous after effect.
 The nominees of the convention are all men of prominence throughout the State, and possess courage and ability in about the correct proportion to render the peo- pie of Alabama good patriotic service. Not man nominated from the state-at- large belongs to the miIk-and-cider va riety; they are all men of convictions.
 The platform adopted will inspire con- fidence among the masses. That docu- ment states squarely and the unterrified Democracy of Alabama is responsible for the statement, that the tax limit shall not be raised, and that corporations shall not be given greater power than they now enjoy. Tn addition, that document pledges the white men of Alabama to preserve the present exemption laws re- lating to real and personal property.

Jefferson County's Delegation.

The Opellka lnQuSIr1aI NeWS says.
 "As usual Jefferson County gets more than her share. Twelve citizens of that county will be delegates to the proposed constitutional convention
 The News errors in stating that twelve citizens of Jefferson County will be delegates to the constitutional convention. The correct number is ten, namely, R. J. Lowe and F. s. White, from the State-at-large; A. c. Howze, from the Ninth Congressional District; R. M. Cunningham, from the Thirteenth Senatorial District and C. P. Beddow, c. W. Ferguson. T. J. Corn wall, James Weatherly, J. w. ONeill and H.. C.. Selheimer, from Jefferson County.
 On a strict population basis Jeffer- son would be entitled to twelve dele gates, and on a taxpaying basis to twenty-two. Alabama, according to the federal census taken last year, had 1.S2S,697 population and Jefferson County 140,42o. One hundred and fifty-five delegates, the number that will sit in the constitutional conven- tion, apportioned on a population basis, would give one delegate to every 11,790 persons in the State. On this ratio Jefferson County, with 140,42O population, would be entitled to twelve delegates the exact figures being 11.9
 Jefferson County pays more than one-seyenth of the entire taxes of the State, and if representation in the con vention were based on that the county would be entitled to one-seventh oi 1b5, or twenty-two delegates.
 The exact representation the county will have in the convention will be two less than its population entities it to, and less than one-half the mum Der to which it IS entitled on account of it's taxable wealth.

be temporarily suspended. This does not mean much in Russia. It may af- ford a breathing spell to the students. but that will be all.
 In the long run Russian Czars and statesmen will tire of a despotism tempered by assassination, and the great sluggish country will be brought into line with other countries by giv- ing the people a voice in the govern ment. It is practically the only coun- try outside of Mos -emism that is wholly under despotic rule, for in China public sentiment is always list ened to and needed. To some extent it is in Russia, but a stubborn minis ter works his own will and there is no appeal.
 The brutality of the Russian sys- tenn is never understood, partly be- cause of the size of the country, and partly because of the secrecy of gov ernmental steps. The riding down of the workers in metals on Sunday in St. Petersburg properly belongs in the dark ages of the world-that is, it would if it had occurred outside of Russia or Turkey, but in those coun- tries nothing is too barbaric or too cruel to be out of place. Both are sur vivals of darker ages and darker meth ods. Events move slowly in both, but civilization and light is breaking into both, and after a while both will con form to the rest of the worl~.

Beautifying Florence.
the Florence Herald.

From the Florence Herald.
 The many improvements going on about Florence betoken an air of enterprise and prosperity on the part of our people The past year has witnessed the erection of a considerable number of new business blocks and residences and other buid- ing is now in progress. The $10,000 re- pairs on the Normal College will greatly improve the appearance of the home of North Alabamas S leading school and con- tribute largely to the general attractive ness of the city.
 The present sewage work will be com pleted soon and the citizens should then hasten the cleaning up and beautifying of their property before the warm wealth CT comes to give indifference and leth argy to effort. Florence is city of beau tiful homes and magnificent streets and everything should be placed in keeping with the general prosperity attire
 Individuals and property owners can at a very small expense add to the general appearance of the city by painting wealth er-beaten buildings, cleaning up lawns and setting out a few trees and bright flowers. Flowers are easy to cultivate and add wonderfully to the beauty of a lawn Paint gives an air of cleanliness, freshness and beauty, while . grassy lawn, neatly kept and free from rubbish. betokens the respect and pride the oc- cupant feels for his home and challenges the comment and admiration of visi- tors.
 Let everything be done before summer to add to the beauty and attractiveness as well as the healthfulness of Florence.
