Trying to Deceive.

Rockford, Ala, Nov. 29 1901. Editor The Advertiser:
 It occurs to me that General Shelley and his crowd are laboring under a very grave misapprehension or else they are guilty of wilfully trying to deceive some one. Now they started out by claiming that they had carried quite number of white counties against the Convention. In the list so claimed will be found my County, Coosa. It Is true that Coosa County gave a majority of about 400 against ratification. but lets tell the Gen eral and his gang how 1t was done: About 800 white men, all Democrats. vot- ed for ratification; about 800 white Re- publicans and Popplites and fully 800 ne groes, voted against ratification. It is very clear and is admitted on all sides here that We got at least 400 majority of the white voters for ratification and this without any speaking except, I believe, at two points in the County. On the oth- CT hand quite an effort was made by General Shelley to organize his forces written to different parties in this Coun ty begging them to take charge of his cause and in almost every particular they refused to join those whom they cratic party, and I will state further, that if perchance the General and his gang should be so successful as to get the white Democratic primary which they so boldly declared the other day in Bir- mingham that they would demand, he nor his crowd would get two dozen votes in this white County of Coosa. which he boasted of carrying unless the Republi- cans and Pops were allowed to come in.
 Now it is an undisputed fact that all the negroes in this County and I believe it is true as to other white counties. vot- ed solidly against ratification. And fur thermore their votes were counted jus. as they were cast. We cant for our lives see why 1t is so much more harm for the negro to vote for the Constitution in the black belt than to vote against It Tn the hill counties C)nr nPnnIo perfectly happy over the new Constitu- uon. Coosa Democrat.

coon ROADS ENrHusIAsM.

The people of Alabama are to be con- gratulated upon the success of tho Good Roads Convention which has been in session at the Capitol for the past two days. It will conclude its work today. The attendance has been gratifyingly large, as nearly every county in the State Is represented.
 There have been three large conven- tions held in the State under the auspices of Mir. Moore. President of the National Good Roads Association, and those as- sociated with him, in the past three weeks, one each at Birmingham and Mo- bile and the one now in progress here. The effect is bound to be felt in the near future, for there is now a wave of good road enthusiasm sweeping over the State. It will grow in volume until the people will not be satisfied with such highways as they have to labor and toll with in getting to market. When two mules come into Montgomery, easily pulling six bales of cotton where they could scarcely get along with two, five or six years ago. there is practical demonstration of the saving of expense and time.
 The delegates to the convention will go to their homes prepared to talk and work for good roads. That means good influence upon County Boards of Com missioners and upon members of the Leg islature. The old era of three days to go and come thirty miles will soon be lat an end, and instead the countryman will mako the round trip easily inside of twenty-four hours.

IRELAND HAS ADVANCED,

From a speech delivered at Baltimore the other day by John E. Redmond, the noted Irish politician. we may judge that conditions have so greatly improved in Ireland within recent years that there are now few evils to complain of that gov ernment has caused or government can cure. He said:
 The whole face of Ilcland has changed since Parnell started the movement. Since 1885 the mass of the Irish people have been free to vote in the ballot boxes and as large percentage of our adult population vote as here, where you have manhood suffrage.
 A revolution has been effected in the land system. When Parnell started the farmers were in a condition of absolute serfdom and all enterprise and industry were killed. Parnelrs movement swept away once and for all the right O. ca pricious eviction. It rooted these tenants securely in their homcsteads, and today no landlord can raise the rent of d ten ant or evict a tenant. Who can deny that that one achievement has advanced the cause of Ireland toward it's ultimate tri- umph more than any act or set of acts in the last 100 years?
 Twenty years ago the Irish farmer lived in a miserable hovel: today the land Is studded with decent, clean, com fortable houses, the homes of the reri- cultural laborers. The oppressive grand jury system has been swept away. and we have County Councils, elected by the people themselves, with absolute Jurisdiction over local taxes and their ex- penditure. The whole system )f education in Ireland has undergone a change, ow- ing to the constitutional movement, in the last twenty years.
 Before that Irish history, poetry and the language were banished from the schools. and the little Irish boy or girl was taught to look dowg upon his or her

INDIAN ADJUSTMENTS.
How the Creek Indian Used to Raise
 His Children.

Charles Gibson in Indian Journal.
 The Creek people were great deal Ike the negroes in the following respect they had lots of uncles and cousins. Tn the old times the uncles. and not the father and mother were rulers or the children. The uncle came around mayDe once q month and made enqulrles or the childrens behavior in his absence The mother always gave correct re port, good or bad. If good all were happy. If bad, then things began 10 look blue for kids. The uncle then would go down into his tobacco pouch whlch ne always carried on such trips ana some where in the confines of this article was found the lower or upper jaw or smal gar fish which are always tnrnlsneu with more or less sharp teeth.

After when ,, ms arms were treated in like manner. hen the uncle gave the culprit s0uha iGc- ture for having misbehaved' telllns nm that he would receive double me torture if the crime was repeated.

There is a woman farmer down in Clarke County who sets an excellent ex- ample for some of the other sex who complain that they can't make living by farming Writing to The Grove Hill Democrat she says:
 This year, you know, has been no year for a test on our farm. but in spite of every drawback I have made about 13 bales of cotton, 1-2 barrels of syrup, 400 bushels fine potatoes, peanuts by the wagon full, and other things too numer- ous to mention. The potatoes were made on less than an acre of land, the syrup 1s0 gallons-on half an acre, a quarter of an acre netting ST worth of syrup.
 What this woman has done other far mers can do, of course. if they go at it fin the right way. And most of them know the right way but prefer some other, notwithstanding such object les sons as the one furnished by this sensible woman.

Household Words.
 A wealthy Rivering squatter, now de- parted, as he used to phrase it. "tO the Great Muster WIS noted almost as much for his attic wit as for his parsi- mony. He also stuttered very badly, and helped along his halting utterance with frequent ejaculation of Dye see? Dye see?' His niggardly traits gained him widespread local unpopularity and the bitter enmity of sundoWners. who were always vigorously refused ratioas at his stations. Smarting under this unusual inhospitalitY. some disappointed swag- gles on one occasion set fire to one of the squatter's wool sheds and then wrote upon a gate: We've dam well burnt down your wool shed. Dye see? Dye see?" Of course, 1t caught the big man S eye when next he passed through. For a moment he contemplated the announce ment, and then with a sardonic grin took the stump of blue pencil from his pocket and scribhled underneath: Tt was dam well insured. Dye see? Dye see?'

 Turn the money changers out was the slogan crv of Governor Johnston at the recent meeting of the anti-ratifiers in Birmingham. This cry implies a com parison not complimentary to the money changers a calling in which the Gov ernor himself was conspicuous as pres ident of a prominent Birmingham bank before his election as Governor of the State. But without question the Cover nor was not less harmful to the public interest in his capacity as money changer, than as leader in a University land deal while yet wearing the magis- terial robes of office.

Editor The Advertiser:
 U have ever been In the van of insist Ing on good and pure English and ready to accept and advance any improvement thereon.
 Why not adopt the simple letter U when ever the sense requires that pronouu, instead using three letters, i. e., you" save two lettere. and will not the sense good? Why not as well write I wish "U'' to go. the post office as to write l wish you to go? Had u not as well write "eye wish you to go.' spell the I as we'll as the L. Is not the letter entitled to as much hon or and respect as the letter I?
 There is a tendency now with the best writers to shorten all words that can be, by leaving out the redundant letters when the sense will not be changed as 'tho." for though etc.

Montgomery, Ala, Dec. D. IyOI Editor The Advertiser.
 Will the city fathers give their reasons for refunding part of the license fee to the great Wallace shows? Is 1t not fact that the Wallace shows advertised their show at 25 cents and did they not charge 35 ceints admittance which was an imposition on the public after advertising at 25 cents? Was there any other than reserved seats at that show? Did you notice it? And now they want their money back. Of course the Mayor will veto that ordinance Kicker.

The anti-Constitutioners are disposed to put a hard task on those of us who fa- vored ratification. They declared most vociferously that honest elections could not be held under the new instrument and now they tell us they are going to make us do what they swore couldn't be done! That's as bad as the Egyptians treated the Irsaelites about the brick business.

Duffys Pure Malt whiskey is good for old and young. It has carried the blessing of health to hundreds of thousands of poor sufferers.

A Mere Suggestion.

Cullman Democrat
 The Democrat doesn't lay any claim to being scientific. but one thing has struck us as peculiar. Since Carrie Ma ton has been rising so much wind Kansas has not had real elementary cyclone. Isn't 1t a scientific conclusion that Carrie has absorbed this power, and if she was placed in close confinement wouldn't it break up Kansas cyclones altogether? This is a mere suggestion to scientists and Buddhists who study transmipration, etc.
