Hinson at Mt. Willing.

Mt Wiling. Oct. 25.-(SpeciaD-Hon: Evans Hinson addressed a large and appreciative audience at the school house here yesterday. The anpointment htu been made for Hon. P. II. Pitts, but he was unable to come on account or serl- ous illness In his family Eommitteeman F. D. Scarborough introduced the speak- CTS in a few well chosen remarks. MT. Hinsc spoke for more than an hour and held the audience in wrapt attention. He was logical, forceful and eloqueht. Tears stood in the eyes of many Of his audience during several parts of his ad- dress ,
 This is Mr. Hinsons birthplace and home. and he earnestly pleaded with the fr,erds of his childhood and youth not to allow the reckless and dangerous as- sertiCns of the opposition to keep them rrCn studying the important question which confronted them He devoted near lv an hour to the sufft age article ana every word he uttered was well received. He explained to the colored voters pres ent that the suffrage article was de signed to disfranchse them, butt that II as well as every other change propoSs q was really for their hest interests. Ihe writer mingled with the audience after tho speech was over and he does not believe that more than three white men who heard the speech will vote against ratification Not one word of adverse criticism has been or could be made to anN part of the address and 1t will dc sr eat good in this part of the county for trr new Constitution.

Letters to The Editor.
SOCIAL EQUALITY.
Hon. Gordon Macdonald Expresses
 His Views.
Montgomery, Ala, Oct. 25.

Montgomery, Ala. Oct. 25. 1901 Editor The Advertiser:
 In common with thousands of your sub scribers, l am astonished that you nave, in at least two editorials, endeavored to minimize the meaning and effect or Pres- ident Roosevelts public example of his belief in social equality between the white and black races.
 You call the indignation of all Southern white man at this notoriously infamous attempt to break down the natural bar riers between the races "a tempest Tn a teapot" The public have right to know whether the only morning paper In tnis city, which has existed so long on the patronage of Southern white men, pro poses to deal contelnptuously Wlsh the most vital tenet of the social ana pohti- cal creed of the South.
 Have you reflected that your enorts tend to belittle the dearest principle or our race? feel sure that you cannot mean to do this. l trust and believe that you cannot have seriously considered how your course in this matter must impress the people of the North and the negroes of the North and South.
 Social equality Is a crime. Its inevita- ble outcome is so appalling that no man even so much as dares to think on it, much less does he care to befoul his mouth with it's name. Crimes-especially those in high places-should be always cused or minimized. Silence on such a subject as thts-palliation or sucn an act by the highest official in the country-is neither the right nor the expedient meth
 Does not such a method as you have started to adopt, lend aid and comfort to the enemy?
 Outside of the moral question involved and especially at this critical Jnncture In political affairs in this state the course you are pursuing is peculiarly inexpedi- ent Everyone knows that the President dinner to Booker Washington Is the di- rect outcome of the fifteenth amendment, ircorporated in it's most aggravated form. in the old Constitution or this state, TOT which we are endeavoring to substitute the new one to be submitted to the 1ieo- ple next month. To eXtirpate plant with so foul a fruit Is now the effort of the earnest democracy Of Alabama. Yet you seem to be belittling one or the strongest--if not the very strongest ar guments in favor of the new Constitu- ton.
 very kirdest feeling, and in the hope that you have not fully considered or as care fully as you might, the result of your late editorials on this question Let me assure you that they have caused great regret and much of adverse criticism Tn this city and I have no doubt, in this State. erred as a political weather prophet What you take for a tempest in tea pot Is really an irresistible hurricane or principle and feeling which will never subside In the South.
 I trust that you will reconsider your position in this matter and join with all the Southern papers in continued con demnation of this first great attempt at converting the people of this country to | the infamous doctrine of social equality | between the negroes and white people. Respectfully yours, Gordon Macdonald.

Is necessary to misrepresent the purposes of two leaders in the positions of Roose- welt and Washington. who have manifest ed so much desire to benefit the South.
 Instead, however, of The Advertisers belittling this matter. it seems clear to us that MT. Macdonald and those who share his view are guilty of far more serious mistake ir belittling the white people of the South. It is simply absurd to assume and argue that Presi- dent Roosevelt could even by a deliberate and systematic example, break down the social equality line so necessary to the welfare of this section. If other Repub- lican Presidents with standing armies here in the days of reconstruction failed to bring about such result, 1t is simply preposterous to say that 1t can be done by one Republican President single handed at this late day. The Southern people have not so degenerated. They are not the toadies MT. Macdonald must assume them to be, if he believes the Presidents example to be so terrible and dangerous.
 The Advertiser has not at all essayed the role of weather-prophet in this mat ter as is further assumed. But If 1t had. has MT. Macdonald been so successful in that role in the past few years as to be able to sheer at The Advertiser? This paper has simply counselled justice and moderation, and 1t knows that it has the sympathy and approval of some of the leading men of this section. We have heard criticisms from only very few here at home, and we believe that due to the fact that a political campaign is going on. On the contrary we have had a great deal of congratulation and commendation for the fairness of our position. In any event, The Advertiser dares do right, no matter how many people may disagree with 1t temporarily. It has seen its positions vindicated too frequently in the past to be alarmed as to the future.

A SIMPLE EXPLANATION.

A few days ago a French experimenter tried to cross the Mediterranean in an air-shfp and failed, as all others have failed in such efforts. There is nothing new in this failure, but the reason given by the aeronaut for his want of success is refreshingly simple. He declares that his experiment was scientifically suc- oessful.' but he failed because his "de- vtating apparatus" or steering machin- cry, was damaged by a strong wind.
 This Is practically the key to all the fAiIures which are met with in the effort to navigate the air. It is a comparatively simple matter to build a balloon or other oontrfvance which will rise from the earth, and it Is not difficult to put in steering apparatus which will guide the balloon in a still atmosphere. That is all easy enough. but it seems difficult for enthusiasts to keep in mind the fact that the atmosphere above the earth is rarely perfectly quiet, or the further fact that an air-ship high up in the air Is liable at any time to encounter diverse cur rents.
 The strongest ships that can be built sometimes go down before the power of the wind, and ships are always at or be- low the earths surface. and have the further advantage of the resistance of the water to prevent destruction. The airship loses both these advantages. High up in the air it is at the mercy of almost every breeze. and in a storm is practically helpless. Scientists prepare charts show ing the force and direction of the wind at any certain time or place, but that does not prevent disasters from storms and cyclones which could neither be torstold nor guarded against
 The Frenchman's explanation that his sdeviating apparatus" failed when a strong wind struck his machine is right enough, but the failure was caused by A condition which is liable at any time +o occur, and until men learn to con- struct air-ships which will be wholly in dependent of air currents, We can see but little hope of successful navigation of the upper regions.

TT WILL BE RATIFIED.

The friends of the new Constitution, and especially the Democrats, are highly gratifed with the reports which are com ing from all sections of the State. For a time it looked as If the question of ratification was a doubtful one. but that time has passed. The people only needed to be informed and shown the many and substantial reasons why they should pre- fer the new to the old. Few people could understand the work of the Con- vention merely from reading the pro- ceedings as they were published in the newspapers, to say nothing of the fact that but few, comparatively, outside the towns and cities, had the opportunity of reading them. Now that they have seen and read it. and have heard it fairly ex- plained, they see that the charges and in situations made by the opposition are misleading and were intended to mislead. The people are also getting their eyes is led almost entirely by men whose am
 bition for ofIioe has not been gratifled and whose claims to Democratic leader
 ship have been set aside. Disappointed hopes, ungratified ambition and desire | for revenge are at the bottom of the | fight against ratification.
 The Advertiser is in touch with the
 entire people of Alabama, through the | newspapers. We get and read almost
 every paper in the State and they are 1 almost a unit for ratification, and practi.
 caIly without exception they tell the same story of a general uprising of the white people in favor of a better organic law.

He would have told them that revolution and bloodshed might do as a theory, but that 1t was not q nrsctical way to win a political fight in Alabama. So far as the writer could gather from newspaper accounts every, thing said and done at this big rally shows anwer and disappointment Their very attitude foreters their defeat, and in the old cry of fraud they have pre- pared the explanation long in advance of the election.
