Such converts not only increase his own chance of beay- en, but they swell his own faction. his own army, his own means of conuuer- ing, governing and taxing the remain der of mankind
 All the emotions which impel Chris sian to proselyte are in a Mussulman strengthened by all the motives which impel political leader and all the mo- tives which sway recruiting sergeant, until proselytism has become d pas sion, which wherever success seems practicable. and especially success on large scale, develops in the quietest Mussulman a fury of ardor which in- duces him to break down every obsta- Gle. his own strongest prejudices in- cluded, rather than stand for an in- stant in neophyte's way. He well comes him as a son, and, whatever his own lineage and whether the convert be negro or Chinaman or Indian or even European, he will without hesi- :ation or seruple give his own child in marriage and admit him fully, frankly | and finally into the most exclusive so- ciety in the world.-Townsen,.

The Question Of Raising the Limit Of
Indebtedness Of the City to be
Put Before Taxpayers.
CITY WILL COLLECTTH The ROADTA
The County Attorney Rendered a De,
cision That County Doesn't Have
to Collect Two>Mill Tax.

The city council met on Monday
evening for the purpose OF passing
an ordinance to place the question Of
raising the limit of Indebtedness of
the city before the taxpayers and the
issuance OF city bonds to the amount
OF $50, 900 to provide for the placing
of a water and sewerage system In
the city Of Lewisto wn. The members
of the council were all present, with
the exception OF l.. W. Eldridge, who
was In attendance at the regular
meeting Of the district chooltrustees.
In an interval before the meeting
was called to order the question of
boulevarding Third and Fifth avenues
by means Of a special levy on prop
erty the owners of which are directly
interested, was discussed. 1t was
unanimously decided to bring the
matter to the notice of n of
property contingent to the streets in
question.
The meeting was called to order at
Sp. IN. and the clerk laid n communi-
cation before the board from Joseph
Pratt, in which he stated that the
bridge between David Hilger's resi-.
dence and j. l.. Bright's, on Third
street, had collapsed while he was
driving over II and said that he
thought he was entitled to damages.
The clerk was instructed to see that
Mr.. Pratt put his claim In the proper
form.
The city attorney laid IN ordinance
before the board relating to the gov
eminent of the water supply of the
city of Lewistown and the question
OF paying for same by bonding the
city and the name of placing the
questions before the taxpayers by a
special election. The ordinance CON-
mittce examined and approved the
ordinance.
While the committee was examin-
Ing the ordinance X. Won Tobel stated
that as n result of an investigation
of the city accounts he had found
that the Indebtedness Of the city was
$4,000. Considerable demur was
made to this, and upon inquiry II
was found that the actual indebted
ness was only 81, 200, or, considering
the $1,000 to be received from the
county road fund, the Indebtedness
OF the city is practically nothing.
A motion was made and passed
that rules relating to ordinances bt
suspended and the ordinance bC
placed upon it's final passage.
The ordinance was then adopted
and the clerk instructed to publish &
notice calling a special election fol
the purpose OF placing the questions
before the taxpayers OF the city, tn,
election to be called for Tuesday, DC
tober Sth.
The question OF the annual levy
was brought up and the finance com
mittee reported and recommended
that the levy for 1901 be as follows
Three-mill tax for general fund, TIVE
mills for street and a oDe-mill librar,
tax.
The city levy will therefore be tire
mills higher than last year, but tn
actual levy will be only one mil
higher. the amoun authorized 70

mills were last year levied by tn
county, and this year the sam
amount Is levied by the city, but no
by the county.

A straIohtforward Proposition

From the Boston Herald.
 One member of the Alabama Constitu- tional Convention. now in session, has the courage of his opinions. His name Is Earle Pettus and he halls from Lime stone County. He does not believe in beating about the bush, or in any plan of '1ow-down' chicanery in order to elim- mate the negro voter and. at the same time. make a pretence of conforming to the amended constitution of the United States. Last week he introduced an or dinance for incorporation In the new con- stitution of the State which frankly pro- vided that no person of African descent shall vote in any election in Alabama. To accomplish substantially this Is what the convention Is called for; but few have the boldness to say so in such direct fashion. Senator Morgan Is pretty nervy, but not quite so daring as this man Pet tus, who, in some remarks made on in- troducing his proposition, said: We should boldly disfranchise the negro as a negro and accept whatever consequences there may be in loss of representation in the electoral college and in Congress |" This is square, candid. honorable states manship in comparison with the cork screw methods of politicians who work by indirection. We rather hope MT. Pet tus will prevail. We would then see whether there is left in the Republican party any spark of the old fire of equal rights that inspired 1t before the days of commercialiSm.

A Happy Anniversary.

A very happy woman paused moment at the crossing of the street yesterday, unmindful of the hot sunlight. Do say" she immediately began, that tomorrow, June 21, will be the first anniversary of the opening of the Industrial Farm for Alabama's wayward boys; that is tomor- row, one year ago, the first three boys were received at the farm and slept be- heath the humble roof of logs that shell tered the first little family to be domi- ciled out there."
 And then she went on to contrast the present with the past Instead of three boys, there were now thirty-five, the school buildings were completed; the work in it's infancy a year ago, had grown to such proportions that the facilities at the farm were inadequate to the demands made upon 1t from all parts of the State
 The school had become a permanent in- stitution. The magnificent work of MT. Griffin, the superintendent, was now be- ing recognized by It's splendid results.
 The boys" and here she spoke of Jimmy" famous little child of the streets; year ago boasting a brilliant criminal record of eight years
 Jimmy might be called the dean at the farm. He 1t was who worked in blue over alls, getting the farm in readiness to re- ceive the "others," and he is naturally an authority on everything that concerns the farm
 Jimmy within a year, has learned to write beautiful letters.
 Then there Is another one, a pitiful back of heart crushing story, wrose than that back of Jimmy. There is-well one could recall dozens of them, hard little tragedies, stories of the waifs of the street, of the gamin.
 But today Is the first anniversary at this farm for the friendless, this haven where wayward boys are sheltered and separated from crime, lead to recognize the gulf between right and wrong, taught the meaning of citizenship.
 A year ago there were three little fig ures in blue overals silhouetted against the sky. They were taken from the police court and given the first chance of their lives at the Industrial Farm
 Working the fields out there they made a picture at once pathetic and yet one to which there Is to be beautiful com panion piece.
 There are agreat many little artists at work on this great painting. It is the masterpiece of the soul
