INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION. Memphis Takes Steps to Entertain the Delegates to the December Meeting.

Memphis, Tenn, June 27.-At meeting of many of the representative business men of Memphis this afternoon a tempor- ary committee was apointed to take charge of the preliminary arrangements for the annual meeting of the Southern Industrial Association, which will be held in this city the first week in December next. Secretary N. F. Thompson of the association was present and delivered an address. Some twenty business organi- zations representing all interests of the city and including the city authorities, the bar association, the passenger asso- ciation and the trades and labor coun- cils, were selected from which to form an executive committee, who will have the details regarding the meeting in hand. It is proposed to give the widest publici- ty to the gathering and representatives not only from the South but from the North and West will be invited to be present
 The opinion was expressed that the forthcoming convention would be the most important industrial meeting ever held in the South.

have paid on or before the 31st day of December of each year, for the two years preceding the year in which he offers to vote. poll tax of one dollar per annum. Poll taxes shall be a lien only upon assessed property. and no process shall issue to enforce the col lection of the same except against assessed property"
 There is not an intelligent man who does not know that this provision from the Louisiana constitution would be ample to shut out the entire worthless class in this State from the ballot box. Why then invite trouble and censure by going further?. It is proposed by all to adopt the poll tax provision, but some desire additional restrictions and qualifications when they are not need ed and when they would but serve to injure the State.
 The Louisinana poll tax provisions, together with a good primary law, is the ideal solution of the vexed prob lem, as efficient as it is simple, as just to all as it is plainly constitutional. It is the one scheme that would keep away from the .allot box worthless ness of all sorts.

THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Southern Man for President.

Congressman Gaines forgets one con- nomination of a Southern man for President, nameiy, nominations go to doubtful States or sections. It is this that has given Ohio, Indiana and New York such a command of nominations in both parties. Ohio is not considered as doubtful as it once was, although it is a State given to vagaries, and it's cities are full of new-idea statesmen. New York and Indiana are indeed doubtful States, and beyond reasonable doubt the next Republican candidate will be taken from one of them-the Presidential candidate perhaps from the one and the Presidential can didate from the other.
 This condition of doubt does not ex ist in the South except possibly in Ken lucky, and not to any great extent there. West Virginia and Maryland are doubtful States, but they are small States and are middle States at any rate. The candidate who can swing large and doubtful State is the man who is wanted as Presidential crisis becomes intense.
 In other words, the politicians hay , ing in view tho emoluments of the case, abandon sentiment and all thought of even distribution of the two chief prizes, and come right down to busi- ness. They ask themselves-"Who can be elected?" This is the rule, and it always will be the rule while party rule endures. And party rule is the life of the Republic. Since 1876 sue cessful candidates have been taken from doubtful States. Hancock was nominated from Pennsylvania, Blaine from Maine and Bryan from Nebraska, but all were defeated. Indiana, Ohio and New York have secured the prize, and the Republican nominee of 1904 will probably be Odell, Fairbanks or Roosevelt. Massachusetts and Iowa are shut out very much as Alabama and Texas are, and for much the same reason. However MT. Gaines, who was once invited to take two chairs by Gov. Bob Taylor, can exploit his scheme of giving the Democratic nom- ination to a Southern man. There is no harm in it especially in midsummer weather of 1901, but when the time comes to nominate ticket men will be selected who can carry doubtful large and greatly needed States

first year. In the meantime they sup- ported themselves by cutting railroad ties, barrel slaves and stave bolts until the first crop was ready for harvest. The first patch of corn planted was eaten by the bears and raccoons; deer were plentiful, and became a nuisance because they acquired an appetite for the tender shoots of the sugar cane. Wolves, wild- cats and partners were also neighborly, and the opportunities for shooting wild game would have been enjoyed by the Vice President.
 Notwithstanding all these difficulties. the people prospered; the town grew, and there are now about 15O0 settlers, with 15,O00 acres of land under cultivation in corn, cotton, sugar and garden truck. The original log huts have been replaced by neat and comfortable dwelling houses. The railway station is one of the best on the line, and has furnished an architec- tural model to be initiated by the citizens. There are five general supply stores, which are said to be prosperous, and the community has thus far been without the experience of crime. There are no police, except the regular town constable. and the arrests thus far have been con- fined to petty thieves. The people pay their taxes promptly, every family in town is self-supporting, new settlers are coming in gradually and the area of cul- tivated land is increasing.
 Last year, I am told, the receipts of the railroad company for outbound freight were s35,000.

LOWndes and Jefferson.

Why should HOO white men in Lowndes have a whole Senator while 30 900 wnite men in Jefferson have no more? One white man in Lowndes would thus become practically equal in one law-making branch of the State government to thirty white men in Jefferson. The HOO white men of Lowndes deserve well at the hands of the State, but they are not so deserv- ing that they should be given thirty times the political power, in negative sense at least, of like number in Jef- ferson. Man for man they should stand on an equal footing politically. But if Lowndes De given a Senator, and Jefferson be limited to one, one white man in Lowndes will be equal to carload of Jeffersonites politically speaking.
 In other States there is no cast-iron rule that limits county to one Sena- tor. It would be preposterous to treat the greater city-counties in that way, and it is gross injustice to limit Jef- ferson to one Senator. There is no more reason for such a rule in the case of Senators than there is in the case of Representatives. Counties are merely municipal corporations; they resemble States in no respect They are mere devices or puppets of the State, and to base injustice to individ- ual voters upon any resemblance be- tween counties and States is farcial. Long before the new constitution has run its course, if 1t be wisely and just ly framed, Jefferson's population will rise to 5O0.0QO, and yet the vast num- Der will have but one Senator, while the HOO men in Lowndes will continue to have one also! Is this right? Is this justice between counties, or be- tween men in Jones Valley and in the Black Belt? Senators should be ap- portioned according to population as Representatives are. Any different rules means that might instead of right is in the saddle.

Louisiana's Poll Tax Provision.

If the constitutional convention would take the position that no one can have voice in the control of the affairs of the State except those who contribute to it's support, it would set tie at once and for all the suffrage problem. Such a proposition could be easily carried before the people, for all feel that every man should do his part in sustaining the State which guards and protects him. The dead aeads would be ashamed to vote against the proposition. It is the tax payers that do the voting.
 In Louisiana a poll tax provision Is the real defense against black ma jority, and so well does it work that Judge Pugh of that State recently stated that in Shreveport, city of -.,000 people, only eleven negroes are registered. This is the situation throughout the rest of the State. Louisiana also has an educational quail ification, property qualification, reg istration scheme, and a granddaddy clause, but none of them are of practi- cal value. The poll tax provision does the real work.
 And yet Louisiana is incurring a world of censure because of these in- operative provisions, and it will be one of the States that will suffer when the Republicans decide to make rep resentation conform to the Fifteenth Amendment.
 The poll tax provision of Louisiana is very broad and ample for the pur- pose of suffrage reform. No person." it says, ''shall be permitted to vote at any election in the State who shall not

he had committed. a charge which all the rest of us knew to be unjust
 ''The boy denied guilt, and then the thrashing was begun. The teacher rained cruel blows on the boys shoulders and back. and then paused te repeat the un- just charge against him. The boy, with perfect self-control and with dry, hard eyes. again denied guilt.
 This repeated denial made the teacher wildly. insanely angry, and lifting the rod. he fairly shrieked:
 Then am liar and your are pretty boy, eh?"
 Yes, slr,' the boy replied.
 Full forty lashes followed. The boy was beaten unmercifully, but he never winced. never uttered any sound, never wept tear. It was horrible. The rest of us grew sick; many wept. The brutal spectacle was terrifying
 When he had In a measure exhausted his strong arm in beating the boy, he looked around with livid face, insane in his anger. and dismissed us for recess. He walked away from the school house, and as soon as his back was turned we caught the beaten boy in our arms lifted him to our shoulders and bore him round and round, shouting his praises wildly. The oldest of us was not fifteen.''

From the Chicago Record Herald.
 A movement is on foot among the col- ored people of Atlanta. Ga.. to establish a colony of their own race in which no white people may participate or intrude. They have selected a tract of 4000 acres of land, about seven miles from that city, upon which they hope to place 300 or more families, to be incorporated into an association and to be governed by board of trustees There is a good deal of doubt about the practicability of the project although a similar colony, called Mound Bayou, in the Yazoo delta of the Mississippi river, has been reasonably successful. The result will depend large ly upon its management. If the project ors can get a clear-headed, cool tenn pered, energetic man of executive ability, like Booker Washington or Isaac T. Montgomery, who has managed the Mississippi colony. they will get on all right. but leadership is everything. Montgomery is remarkable man, as re- markable in some respects as Booker Washington. He was once a slave of Jefferson Davis, is self-educated, and has strong natural abilities. He commands the respect of everybody, and unlimited confidence both in his integrity and ability.
 The land for Montgomery's colony was furnished by the Illinois Central Rail- road. and the town of Mound Bayou was laid out in 1888. About thirty families settled there, clearing seventy-five acres and building cabins for themselves the

GRIPPE IN HORSES.

The New York papers are giving start ling accounts of the inroads of a thew and peculiar" disease which has fallen epidemically upon the horses of the me tropolis, and which, they say, has symp- toms very closely resembling grippe in men.
 The disease first made Its appearance on last Saturday week, which was an un- usually cold day for the middle of June, and it came as an accompaniment to the unreasonable spell.
 Superintendent Hankinson, of the So- ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to An imals, expresses the opinion that the dis ease is not like the epidemic of epizootls which ravaged this country a quarter of century ago, but that it is kind of '1aryngeal influenza" The temperature of the animal goes up to 105 degrees, the throat becomes sore, bad cough de- velops and loss of appetite and great ex- haustion follow.
 Dr. S. K. Johnson, chief surgeon of the New York Veterinary Hospital. agrees with Superintendent Hankinson as to the character of the disease, and insists that, whatever it's original source, it came in the shape of a multitudinous germ on that bitter weather spell of Saturday week. Not a stable in New York, he in sists, is free from it. At the Veterinary Hospital they have been ''caring for more than 2000 horses daily since the disease began, and the number is increasing" The disease Is not a respecter of equine grades it attacks the high-steppers of Central Park impartially with the slow footed truck horses of West street.
 And just in the same way as the doc tors advise human patients not to fool with grippe when t attacks them, but to go to bed and remain there until the att tack has passed over. 50 the veterinarians of the metropolis advise the owners and drivers of horses to take them out of the shafts the moment they discern the pres- ence of the symptoms and lead them to a stable for immediate treatment. As in the case of grippe in human beings, when the disease is caught in its early stages In horses it yields to treatment without diff ficulty; but when it is neglected 1t is either fatal or renders the animal useless for long time after
 '"rhe first treatment" says the account in the New York Herald "is to reduce the fever by febrifuges and then adminis- ter tonics for the restoration of the appe- tite. The fever usually lasts from three to five days and the cold from ten days to two weeks. Every bit of work the horse does after contracting the disease adcs to his weakness and lessens his vitality"
 Horse owners will no doubt everywhere take the hint A similar spell of bad weather that brought the epidemic to New York is likely enough to bring it elsewhither, now that 1t is in the land.
