A MILLER's MONUMENT.

IA milestone taken from his mill.
Beneath this stone q miller lies,
Who left the world before the rise
OF modern ways Of making -four
And hence passed many q happy hour.
He was not forced to speculate
Nor on Chicago's movement wait.
He did not care for foreign trade,
But sold his neighbors all he made.
Cables and kilograms were rare;
The markets did not make him swear.
Small was his mill, his profits round;
Clear was his head, his slumbers sound.
He envied none, he was enyied not
And died contented with his lot.

A Miller's Monument.

A big milestone monument over a
modest miller's grave is a unique sight
near Graytown, o. The milestone is 10
Gated in the center of an old bury1ng
ground and can be seen a mile away,
coming down the hill.
1t marks the last resting place Of a
happy miller Of the old school. who
knew not the cares or worries of ris-
ing or falling grain market, but who
ground his corn and wheat for his
neighbors and lived contentedly on his
small profits.

ment is this poem:

oo1oNEI pREwER's FLOP.

I, n snecial to The Advertiser rom t1ovnev,,Ia is found the following in- formation:
 After the address of Mir Reese there waa a call by the antis for an address from Hon. Willis Brewer, who, respond ina. smoke in unequivocal terms against ratification. Colonel Brewer said that ne believed that the negro has as mucn right to vote as any other American ciu- yen and that 1t was absolute cowardice on the part of the white people to deprive him of this right by legislation.
 If will be a great surprise to Colonel Brewers many political and personal friends throughout the State to find him against the ratification of the new Con stitution. But surprise will be as nothing in comparison with the astonishment at the ground upon which he bases his oppo- sition- For years Colonel Brewer has been leader in the Black Belt. He has held various offices during that period. He has been a member of both houses of the Assembly, State Auditor and Representa- tive in Congress. For all these offices he has been debtor mainly to the people Of Lowndes, a Black Belt county. He has been in sympathy with, and profited by. every tenet of the Black Belts political faith, every method the Black Belt has been forced to adopt to secure white su- premacy.
 For a leader with this record behind him to come out suddenly as a champion of the negro's right to vote is inexplica- bIe. For such a one to declare that the majority of the white people of this State are guilty of cowardice in the move nnent to restrict negro suffrage by con- stitutional reform Is an insult to those with whom he has associated in the past, to those who have promoted his ambi- tons.
 Such a sudden and radical change of front on Colonel Brewers part is certain to create the suspicion that in joining the company of Johnston, Shelley and stanings he is governed by the same motives set down to them. He will be regarded in many quarters as a sore head, who has not the backbone to stand his recent defeat This suspicion, or course, may be unjust, but 1t must be ad- mitted that 1t is natural.
 Colonel Brewers expressions are, we are sure, not at all in keeping with the opinion of the white people of his county, for it's representatives in the Constitu- tional Convention did not talk that way or vote that way. Lowndes is one of the most cursed counties in the State in the matter of negro votes, and if any county needs relief from the burden, Lowndes Is surely that one. He is voiclng the views of few besides himself in his extreme

SOUTHERN UNEASINESS.
The Democrats of This Section Need
 Not Be Alarmed.

New York World.
 A second conspicuous Democratic ap- pointment to high Federal office in the South by President Roosevelt will doubt less increase the agitation of the Demo- cratic partisan organs and hack politi- clans in that region. In the first appoint ment thty saw Roosevelt subtly seeking to spht the Democratic party by alienat- ing to the Republican party the best sec tion of it--the Democrats who revolted from the free silver and other Populistic her es,es so offensive to intelligence, so hostile to progress And these alarmed partisans eagerly seized upon the Book CT Washington incident to defeat Roose- velt's plans by making him unpopular.
 President Roc csevelt's appointments are explainatle upon grounds of sound public policy and public service. Why go out of the way to attribute motives of craft to him? Further it is hopeless to try to save the Democratic party in .he So'.th by an intipation of the Republican par tvs vain effcrt to save itself in the North in the mid-eighties by raising the bloody shirt howl. Now that practical ly the whole South has legtslated the 'black peril'' out of politics, if the Dem ocratic party there is iL danger 1t is be- cause of the unfaithfulness. of the Dem ocratic partisan leaders ard newspapers to Democratic principles of soundness, sanity and security. And the way to avert that peril is the way of honesty, not the way of political trickery

NO SECOND MEETING.

For some days it has been reported in the Eastern press that the Roosevelt Washington dining incident was to be re- peated at Yale University on Wednesday evening. It was stated that Washington young lady daughter at the residence of President Hadley of Yale.
 The Associated Press telegrams of yes- terday did not confirm this report There was news of Washington's dining on Monday evening with, an official of the University, on which occasion ex-Post- master General Bissell. Democrat, was present, but nothing of a second dining with President Roosevelt and member of his family.
 In the lack of specific information, of course, it can't be stated why the second meeting did not take place. Possibly the President and Washington have both been convinced by public comments that blunder was made the first time. The President has probably not been misled by any of the Northern sentimentalsts who have expressed approval of his con duct He has doubtless listened to words of counsel from his own Party leaders, and possibly has not desired to inflame Southern opinion against him, when he regards 1t as of much more moment to strengthen his influence for more i'm portant ends in this section.
 But whether the President was willing to avoid a second blunder or not, there is little doubt that Washington's sagacity and common-sense promptly reasserted itself in the light of Southern opinion. Very probably he declined to attend the dinner. His great purpose in life Is to benefit his race. To do this he has al- realized that his work could be done only in the South, and that he must have the good will and cooperation of the South ern white people to be successful. He has always adapted himself to the situa- ton with extraordinary self-control and tact He did not intend to injure his in fuence for good in this section by his first dinner with the President. He was too wise and unselfish to repeat the mis- take even if the President was defiant or reckless.
 It is to be hoped that this development at New Haven will have a cooling effect on the heat of opinion that has been general in the South. Neither the Presi- dent nor Washington meant anything by the first incident. There has been a tenn pest in 6 teapot, and it is to be expected that it will now subside completely.

The valued Montgomery Advertiser Is continually engaged in a controversy with It's contemporaries over the great ness of Grover Cleveland. The trouble with The Advertiser Is that 1t overlooks the fact that all dissenting editors were not postmasters of their respective towns during the two Cleveland adminis- trations. Some of them were not so for tunate as the editor of our Alabama con- temporary. Post.
 The inference. then. is that certain Democratic editors abuse MT. Cleveland because he didn't appoint them postmas- ters Thanks for the information.

 We believe that in less than five years from the date of the ratification of the new constitution every white man in Ala bama who voted against 1t will be ashamed to own 1t. We trust that no young man will make this grievous mis- take. and have to carry the burden of 1t through all the years of after life.- Roanoke Leader.
 Up to now we have expressed no opin- ion concerning the new constitution. from the fact that we have not had time to read and examine it carefully, and com pare with the old. We have just finish ed a careful review of all its provisions. and as lcompared with the old consti- tuition of 1S76 it is far superior. We re- gard 1t great improvement, and shall vote for It's ratification most heartily Alabama Baptist.
