MILL IS IN OPERATION
COTTON FACTORY AT sPEIaNERs
 BEGINS WORK.
Contract for Its Lease to Clark 6 Co. Approved by Governor Jelks-Is Employing
 Female Convicts.

The cotton mill owned by the State at Speigners has begun operation un- der the management of Clark Ss Go, of Augusta. to whom it has been leased and sixty-four female convicts whom the State has heretofore supported without revenue ,are working there un- der the terms of the lease.
 The cotton mill was leased by the Board of Convict Inspectors, under and with the advice of the lamenteq Gov ernor Sanford, who but for his death would have approved the contract and also the hiring of the convicts to aid in its operation.
 Governor Jelks yesterday having all the facts and reasons for the lease placed before him by the board. ap- proved of both contracts. as the best arrangement which could be made of the property and the convicts to op- crate 1t.
 The lease is for two years. with the privilege to the lessors to retain 1t for five years. The rent to be paid is $256 dollars per month-$3,2 200 per annum, and the property and machinery is to be kept in first class condition-wear from reasonable use excepted.
 The one hundred convicts to aid in its operation are fifteen men and eighty-five women and boys at $10 per month per capita. the State to main- tain the convicts. The State. it Is un- derstood, can maintain these convicts for between 6 and $6 per month and thus keep them continually employed at a clear profit of more than $4 per month. President Carmichael of the Board of Convict Inspectors. with the concurrence of the board, has pro- cured such a reformation of the contract for the hire of convlcts in 1900 with the Hand Lumber Company of Dolive at $i per capita as that now the company pays $6 per capita per month. instead of "A per month as it was under the contract of 1900. This will amount to saving to the State on this contract alone of over SIG. .0Oo. The board has negotiatiops pending, looking to the reformation of other contracts of similar character which will probably materialize at no distant day

A Book Mystery.

Although this is the happy era oi cheap books. it may nevertheless al first seem quite unusual to find you can secure a practical reproduction of a SIPS or $l.5O copyrighted volume for only 25 cents--printed from the same plates, on as good paper, handsomely bound in cloth, about the same size as the expensive edition, just as good to read and about as attractive to look at
 for one quarter instead of five quar- ters. There's really not much mystery about it, as you will see by reading the announcement of the International As- sociation of Newspapers and Authors, on page of this issue. If any doubt remains. visit the book department at The Advertiser office and see the. vol tunes themselves. sun-tf.

Governor Jelks Developed Naturally
 Into His High Place. Editor The Advertiser:
 A teacher begs leave to add a tiny spray to the laurel wreath of praise which the people of Alabama are weav- ing for Governor William D. Jelks. The teachers of this State have cause to rejoice that the mantle of the gov ernurship has fallen upon the shoulders of this man, for he is the friend of teachers.
 Seeing his familiar face looking out from the pages of The Advertiser, I am minded of a time in the unwritten history of Eufaula, when, the city be- ing temporarily embarrassed in a financial way, had not money enough to pay the teachers.
 This, of course, caused much disap- pointment. Governor Jelks was at that time connected with the school board. Rather than see the teachers disappointed. he himself fulfilled the 'city's obligation. He paid the teachers from his own purse, so that they might have the wherewith to enjoy their holidays.
 These and other kindnesses endeared him to the teachers, and when he re- signed his place. a wall arose from them, and they went to him ''singly and collectively and besought him to reconsider his decision.
 Ask the teachers who were in the Eufaula schools during that time what they think of William D. Jelks as Gov ernor

THE SUFFRAGE ISSUE.
The Convention Must Do Its Duty
 Boldly.

Editor The Advertiser:
 Florence. Ala, June IA, 1901--An ar- ticle in your columns signed 'Cavite'' has attracted my attention. It is the most sensible -utterance yet made up- on the Suffrage question.
 l am a native Alabamian, and love my State as much as any man within it's borders. also love the old set of negroes. was nursed by them, taught to hunt coons and 'possums by them, and would do as much as any one for them. 90 far stheir rights of person al property are concerned. But I do not think the right to vote Is best for them. and will be ruinous to the white any great extent. The average negro looks upon 6 vote as a piece of per- sonai property which he has a perfect right to sell. He has no idea of Con- stitutional liberty. and the rights of suffrage in the hands of the negro is like gunpowder in the hands of a boy; he will blow up himself or someone else. N
 The eentimantaiists have a dres.A that the negro race should bc elevated, but the stern teachings of history show that whenever and wherever the infer for race come in competition with the Anglo Saxon race. they are either sub 1ected or destroyed. A negfo in his place. as e laborer, will be vEll treated in the South. but not in the North. But if you put him up higher, fie will cer- tainly be destroyed. History is only evolution narrated. Evolution goes on among nations just as 1t does in the fields. The law of the survival of the fittest" is imperative. The law elimin- ates the unfit and any one, whether in theology or politics, who attempts to thwart 1t will be run over.
 The negro must go as political fac tor, and the Convention must face the question boldly and wisely.

Y. M. C. A. TEAM WON
An Interesting Game of Amateur
 Baseball-Score Was 20 to 9.

A large crowd witnessed the game of baseball between the Y. M. c. A. nine and the railroad nine at the Baseball Park yesterday afternoon. From the start 1t looked as though the railroad boys were going to have an easy time with the opposing team, but after mak- ing two runs in the first inning the railroad men were unable to cross the plate again.
 Teasley for the Y. M. c. A. team pitched a fine game. striking out thir- teen men and not giving a base on balls. Finley also played good game. his pretty stop in the sixth inning was the feature. Jones. for the railroad men, did nice work. striking out eleven men.
 After the, game a downtown ice cream establishment treated the wln' ming team to refreshments.
 The score was as follows:

Ayaly, minister of industry, suggested
that foreign money and immigration
should be encouraged to develop
Venezuela's resources. tn annul
every concession held by foreigner in
this country, and sell the concessions
over again."
In December he annuIled all conces-
sions of various Orinoco concerns and
of all American corporations with head
quarters in New York. The reason he
gave for this procedure was that the
companies had not carried out the con-
ditions named in their contracts. Pre-
Vious to this he had annulled the con-
cession of the asphalt company in the
state of Bermudez, concession which
for ten years or more had been Yield
ing the country a large annual rev.
enue. He then sold the asphalt prop
erty, which had been purchased years
before in fee simple from the govern
ment of Venezuela. The asphalt com
pany protested and carried it's case into
the Venezuelan courts. where 1t was
rewarded with an adverse decision.
Then the company brought it's case
to Washington and placed 1t before
the United States government. The
state department Immediately sent in
structions regarding it to Minister
Loonis. These Instructions Loomis
carried out to the letter. This prec!p-

Venezuelan Views.
Senior Augusta Puildo, charg d. af.
fairs of the Venezuelan legation at
Washington, examined the article with
considerable attention last night at the
Waldorf Astoria. He said:
II believe this article to be greatly
exaggerated. Cypriano Castro Is not
a dictator in any sense of the word
He won his office by force of arms, but
he has obeyed the constitution since
his rise to power. l never heard of the
reported amendment to the constitu-
ton whereby the term of office Of the
president was extended from four
years to six. Andrade IS not the real
president of Venezuela. Neither IS
Castro. The latter Is only provisional
president during the troubled months,
when the whole country was in a state
of siege. Extraordinary measures were
necessary to preserve any semblance
of order. 1t these things did occur 1t
was long ago, and much less narrowing
than portrayed by your correspon-
dent

Venezuela at this port refused to d,t
