Against Young Lawyer from Georgia
 Says He is Innocent.

R. B. Price, a lawyer of Worth County, Georgia, was arrested yesterday on charge of false pretenses preferred by L. A. Johnson of Ensley.

 Price is young man of pleasing address, and is indignant at his arrest and prom ises to make it .'hot'' for some one.
 He has retained Attorney B. M. Allen, and says that he will spend hundreds of dollars to vindicate his honor.

TO INVESTIGATE
 JEFFERSON CHERT Distinguished Party Game to See
 County Roads
SHOWN OVER THE DISTRICT
Gen. Stephen D. Lee and Other Mem bers of the Vicksburg National Park Commission Looking for Mate
 rial to Construct Driveways

A party of distinguished gentlemen were in the city yesterday for the purpose of investigat ting the chert roads of this coun- ty with the view of utilizing the same ma terial in constructing the driveways and roads in and above the Vicksburg National Park.
 The party was composed of General Ste phen D. Lee of Mississippi, chairman; Captain Rigby of Iowa and Captain Long, ley, secretary of the National Park Con- mission. The party came to Birmingham in the private ear of Superintendent Ford of the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific Railroad, and was accompanied by Mir. Ford and Charles Rigby, son of Captain Rigby.
 The members of the commission were met here by City Engineer Kendltck and Col. J. F. B. Jackson, county road super visor, and were shown around the dis tric:.
 Several of the roads were gone over and full information given as to chert pits and other material and methods used in con- structing roads.
 The commission has under consideration the construction of twenty-five or thirty miles of roads in and around the park, and it's attention has been called to the splep- did roads of Jefferson County, and it was decided to make personal investigation.
 The members of the party were greatly impressed with what thy saw, and it is probable that the chert of this district will be used in constructing the roads,
 The party returned to vicksburg last night, leaving here on the Alabama Great Southern Railroad at 1920 o'clock.

THE SAILING CHIP.
--ore Sailing Ships Than Steamer Ds-
ing Built in Scotland.

ing Built in Scotland.
1t is frequently said and written that
the steamship has driven the sailing
vessel Off the sea. a statement so far
devoid OF truth that nearly half the
worlds freights are carried in sailing
vessels and full half of the tonnage
of ships built the last year is to be
propelled by the wind. This may seem
a surprising fact, but it is only neces-
sary to turn UP LOyds' list to prove it.
That it is not more generally recOg-
nized is largely due TO the fact that
personal interests are wider with ref
erence to passenger vessels and the
carrying OF mails. The larger fleet of
sailing vessels is made up of small
craft and coastwise traders, such, for
example. as the schooners that con-
duet the oyster trade in the Chesapeake
bay. Although Baltimore is the fourth
city OF maritime commercial impor-
tance on the Atlantic coast, 60 per cent
of the tonnage coming into that port
is made up by this feet, OF which a
sail is rarely seen outside Of the tribu
ter commerce. except between the
ports which are connected by regular
lines. the preponderance. Of sail ton
mage is even greater, says the Phila-
delphia Times. In the Lloyds' report
just issued it is shown that 20 per cent
of the tonnage coming 10 Calcutta last
year was under sail. and not in small
ships, either, but great fOur-masted,
skysailyard steel ships OF 5000 tons
measurement. In the matter of ship
building a trifle over One-third of that
built in America were sailing vessels
some of them schooners OF four and
five masts. carrying up to 1000 tons
dead weight. But in Scotland on the
Clyde there are building more sailing
ships than steam vessels. This is. in
fact, a recrudescence Of sailing-Ship
building, and the reason is apparent
when we consider the sailing ships
economy, her vast carrying capacity
and the fact that her very slowness as
compared with the steamer is actu-
ally no mean advantage in a great
number of instances, as, for example,
when goods are bought at low mar
ket and not required by the purchaser
for soMe time; the storage is saved in
the transit and a second reshipment as
we'll in many cases. The rising price
in coal is another serious matter for
steamers. and this revival, which may
seem to be a backward step. has. in
fact no such quality, but is rather the
movement of trade in the most pro-
pitious channels open to It.

Elections by Revolution.

The differing concepts of govern
ment in Spanish and American repub-
lies may be inferred from the manner
in which the chief executives give their
titles to official documents With us
the executive simply appends ''presi-
dent" to his signature. In Venezuela
the presidents DEGREES begin: Il. CT
prianO Castro, general in chief of the
armies of Venezuela and supreme chief
of the republic" Imagine the effect
here should Mr.. Mckinley append such
a title to his official documents. And
yet he is as much cOmmander-in-ch chief
of the army and navy of this country
as Castro is of his. 1t illustrates the
subserviency there OF civil government
to the army, and helps explain why
elections are chiefly by revolution

REFATHERS HONEST.
In Most Cases They Bought Their Lands
Indians.

Sometimes historians tell us that il
was only Dutchmen and not English
men who bought the red mans land
instead of stealing it. Such state
ments have been made in New York,
but if We pass on to Philadelphia we
hear that it was only QuakeTs who
were thus scrupulous, and when We
arrive in Baltimore We learn that it
was only Roman Catholics. In point
Of fact it was the invariable custom
of European settlers on this Atlantic
coast to purchase the lands on which
they settled and the transaction was
usually recorded in a deed to which
the SagamOres affixed their marks.
Nor was the affair such a mockery
as it may at first thought seem to us.
says a writer in the Atlantic Monthly.
The red man got what he sorely COW
eted, steel hatchets and grindstones.
glass beads and rum, perhaps muslets
and ammunition, while he was apt to
reserve sundry rights of catching
game and fish. \ struggle was in
evitable when the white mans agrirul-
tire encroached upon and exhausted
the Indians hunting ground; but
other circumstances usually brought it
on long before that point was reached.
The age OF iron superseded the stone
age in America by the same law of
progress that from time immemogial
has been bearing humanity onward
from brutal savagery TO higher and
more perfect life. In the course of it
our forefathers certainly ousted and
dispossessed the red men. but thcy did
not do it in q spirit of robbery.
