Alabama,s First Railroad.

Speaking of railroads = how one thing does lead on to another!-the first railroad track laid west of the Alleghany noun tains was built out from Tuscumbia in 1Sa0 The Tuscumbia Railway Company was incorporated January 26. 1S5o.s and by June 12, 1882, it had completed two miles and two hundred and twenty yards of track, and the great enterprise was on that date celebrated by the fir- ing of cannon and the giving of a grand dinner and ball in Tuscumbia! By the 4th of July, 1883, the Tuscumbia, Courtland and Decatur Rail- road Company, incorporated January 1s 1882. had built a railroad just over eight miles and a half long, from Tuscumbia toward Decatur. This work begun In 1S30 was the real beginning of the Memphis and Charleston
 Birmingham people especially will be interested in the observation that Tus- cumbia, hard by the Tennessee river. in Colbert County, had a railroad forty years before Birmingham was founded Yet Birmingham's railroad tonnage Is twelve times greater than the whole cot ton crop of the South!

THE SUFFRAGE IN ALABAMA.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
 Upon the whole the negroes have been decided gathers through the debates and the proceedings of the Alabama constitu- tional convention. Though there are un- justifable determinations against them in the interest of the whites a great i'm provement in their condition may be ex- pected after the year 1903. From that time on uniform law will prevail on the subject of the elective franchise. It con- tains both a property and an educational qualification, not for the blacks alone, but for all new voters The negro who can read and write and who pays taxes on $500 may step above the illiterate, thrift less white man and exercise the suffrage when the other cannot
 In the matter of property he may treat the nation to some surprises, as we may infer from certain incidents of the de- bates. When 1t was proposed that the payment of poll tax might be made suffrage qualification the champions of white domination demurred. because in a group of twelve counties the negroes paid $15,316 poll tax, the whites only $S,S69. Even if the negroes were in a considera- ble majority the ability to pay is the sig nificant feature of the situation, and it is an ability that will increase with the de- velopment of the race.
 The distinctions between thrift and thriftlessness, between literacy and illit- eracy, being general in their terms, are really an excellent thing for the colored people. They remove the race stigma in ot md ara a it,an irat fo individual pride, which would be wanting in the case of universal suffrage. With such an indictment of their ambition the negroes of Alabama should take heart and prove that they are worthy of the most highly esteemed privilege of citizen ship.

Convention Recess.

The adjournment of the convention until next Wednesday should not be considered an opportunity for loading up delegates with a new lot of amendments. A majority of the convention present on Wednesday last voted against amendments that is to say, they voted in the case of an offered amendment when the convention reassembles. This is an indication that amendments will be frowned down after the report of the committee on harmony is brought in And this is not saying that good amendments are not possible, for they are, but it is saying that the work of notwithstanding is practically com pleted and cannot be reopened to the advantage of the State.
 Until the instrument is perfected and placed before the people as whole a ouoPCholOh Ol Pubiit OplulOA WOuiQ DC wholesome and orderly. It would be so because the work of the convention must hereafter be judged as a whole. The work of building both within and without the convention is completed, and hereafter every man should con- sider the entire work. Old and New should be compared This cannot be well done until the committee on har- mony has brought in it's report and the convention has adopted it. Let all await that stage of the proceedings, which is not far off It is possible to complete every line of the new instru- ment before adjournment on Saturday of next week.

LIVES WITH WINDPIPE CUT.

From the New York Times.
 Doctors are taking great interest in the case of Joseph Reither, 26 years old, 8 patient in Fordham Hospital, who Is showing every sign of speedy recovery from an injury that they say generally proves fatal within two days. Reither. who lives at 2473 Arthur avenue, was em- ployed on an excavation at the Boulevard and One Hundred and Eighty-second street last Thursday, when he missed his footing and fell thirty feet into the hole
 He struck on wire guy rope which supports 8 derrick, and, though the skin of his throat was not broken, his windppe was severed in two places by the force of the blow. pr. Mulholland found his shoulders and neck puffed up like a bal- loon with the air that was percolating through the tissues from the rupture.
 At the hospital an incision was made in his chest and a rubber tube inserted throughwhich he can breathe, and Visit ing Surgeon Jackson R. Campbell says that If Reither continues to improve he will establish a permanent connection with a silver tube.

Tuskeaee and MooresviIIe.

Tn the Hotel Lobbies column of the Birmingham Age-Herald of yesterday" says the Montgomery Advertiser, was c statement to the effect that the town of Mooresville, in North Alabama, objected to the Memphis and Charleston Railroad running through its limits and even paid a round sum of money in order to keep it mile off. When the railroad from Montgomery to West Point was being built, away back in the 50's, the town of Tuskegee, in Macon County, was the site of several splendid institutions of learn- ing. as well as the abiding place of great many wealthy planters. The most direct route for the road was through Tuskegee, but its citizens so violently op- posed the idea that the road was located six miles to the west of that lovely little city. It was reached by stage and carriage line from Chehaw, the nearest railroad station. Soon after the war, some enter prising citizens of Tuskegee built a mar row euage road out to Chehaw, and quite recently the guaee has been changed to the standard nowfin vogue, so that Tus- kegee has direct rail communication with the outside world.''

USING BOTH HANDS ALIKE.
the American Medicine.

From the American Medicine.
 The question should ambidexterity be encouraged is answered in the negative by writer in the American Journal of Insanity, and upon the ground that while coarse movements may be perform ed nearly as well by one-half of the body as by the other, accurate and expert movements require a higher organization of one-half of the brain than the other. Hence the more expert hand should be consciously still more and more special ized; making the ordinarily quiescent half of the grain assume control tends, 1t Is said, to impairment of the mental pro- cesses as well as inferiority of physiolo- gic speed and dexterity.
 All of which we deny, both fact and theory being untrue The writer has doubtless been misled by observation of the function of speech, which Is single, and in execution requires the control of a single center. We have but one voice, but we have two hands which in many cases at different instants may be put in action with the same dexterity. Many surgeons can operate equally well with either hand and we have seen men who could write as we'll with the one hand as with the other. The critic of ambidex- terity may reply that this is impossible with synchronous movements. forgetting that in the musician, and especially in the pianist, there is the most marvellous ex- pertness of both hands executing most complicated and entirely different func- tons, and at the same instant
 The arguments against ambidexterity appear not only inconclusive. but are squarely contradicted by facts. Surely al- so they are against a desirable freedom of the mind. Without the musicians am- bidexterity life would be deprived of much charm. We should encourage "di- vided attention" and that large power of the mind over the body shown in the synchronous control of multiform ac- tiyities.

ANOTHER FALLACY.

From the Jackson (diss) Evening
 News.
 The lynching at Carrollton is a most deplorable and humiliating affair. It is difficult to know how to meet these dread It Is sad fact that large part of the communities have lost confidence in the actions of the courts-not that they have lost confidence in the judges. but they think trickery prevails by which crim- inals are set free-Exchange.
 This is all exceedingly fallaciou and misleading. and while it is evidently not the intention of our contemporary to fur nish an argument for the advocates of mob law, this Is but repetition of the old and threadbare excuse that lynchers make for taking the law into their own hands and usurping the functions of the courts.
 There is no use whatever in discussing any question upon incorrect premises, or upon false assumption of the facts, the object is worthy of a careful and candid statement and examination.
 The class of criminals that are lynched by the mob fn this State. with few rare exceptions. are negroes who are charged with some crime against white person Negroes are not lynched for crimes against individuals of their own race. and all issues between negroes are permitted by the mob to be settled in the courts
 It is not true that negroes who commit crimes against white people are set free through trickery by the courts. On the contrary, 1t is well known fact that will be attested by every experienced lawyer. as well as by every intelligent

United Statas and Colombia.

The Monroe doctrine requires this country to defend Colombia against an attack by any European power. No treaty stipulation is needed to cover this point. and no urging would be needed in order to bring this country up to it's duty in such contingency.
 But at present Colombia is not threatened by an European attack. She is threatened by Ecuador on the one side and by Venezuela on the other, and the Monroe doctrine does not fit such case. But it seems that when the United States bargained for an open right of way across the isthmus, it was stipulated as follows:
 The United States guarantee positively and efficaciously to New Granada by the present stipulation the perfect neutrality of the before mentioned isthmus, with the view that the free transit from the one to the other sea may not be interrupted or embarrassed in any future time while this treaty exists
 And in consequence the United States also guarantees in the same manner the rights of sovereignty and property New Granada has and possesses over the said territory
 This was in 1S46, and the treaty of that year is still in force, and the United States has in all the interven- ing years had the advantage of a free open right of way across the isthmus The Panama Railroad became in that way possible.
 If Ecuador and Venezuela conspire tC destroy Colombian sovereignty the. conspire to take away the control o the isthmus. and this raises a treat, S7destion that the United States ma be called upon to consider. Is tn United States under obligation to mair tain Colombias sovereignty over tn isthmus? If so, this country must dc fend her from the attacks of her neigh bors, if need be.
 There are in fact very grave possi bilities in tho war that has sprung III in South America, and the attitude O this country towards the belligerent: will be closely watched. The treaty O 1S46 needs definition and construction

will desire large State school appro- priation, but it wants such an appro- priation capped with local taxation in order that the people in each school district may have still better schools and become interested in them.
 What is the Advertisers school pol icy? Does any one know? It opposed the S-miIl tax, and it neglected to sup port local taxation in beats and dis tricts. It has hazy bonding scheme that has never been explained. As matter of fact, it does not know where it stands in relation to public schools, except that it is generally "agin" them. There is no nope for It.
 It solemnly declared that a S-mill school tax would bankrupt the State, and the convention took its advice III the customary way, and straightway adopted the 9-mil provision. But the State will stubbornly refuse to bank rupt herself, even to gratify the esteemed Advertiser.
 Before our valued contemporary dis cusses school questions again 1t should declare it's school policy. A paper that has no school policy--that talks about a nebulous bonding scheme and refuses to come down to earth at all-is vast ing space when it discusses school questions. And the truth is, The Age Herald or any other paper that at tempts to meet it's gibberish is also wasting space that might more profit ably be filled with other matter.

The Coleman Resolution.

The preamble and resolutions referred to by the man interviewed is thus official ly reported in the Montgomery Adver- tiser:
 Resolution 317, by Mir. Parker:
 "Whereas, Thomas w. Coleman, whose services as chairman of the committee on suffrage and elections especially has been of inestimable value to this convention, and whose age, experience and wisdom has entitled him by common consent the Nestor of the convention, has taken in difinite leave of absence, for a much needed rest and this convention may not have the benefit of his wise cunsel or the pleasure of greeting him again.
 Now, therefore, be it resolved:
 "First-That this corivention>hereby ex- presses it's high appreciation of his great services to the State of Alabama in the formation of the proposed constitution.
 "Second-That we commend him and his posterity to the people of Alabama, for the purity of his motives, his distinguish ed ability and lofty patriotism which has characterized his long services to the State, and especially the self-sacrifice that he has freely made as member of this convention.
 ,"Third-That this convention hereby tenders to him individually and collective ly their generous regards for his future welfare and express the hope that in a green old age the lines may continue to fall about him in pleasant places. and that he may live to realize the full fruition of the hope that his beloved State may see apples of gold and pictures of silver from the tree of the constitu- ton that he has helped to plant"

Miles Pinkston Nelson. who died in Dadeville the other day, was one of the best fellows and truest young men in the world. His life was sacrificed to his coun- try, and therefore his death was noble.
 At the outbreak of the Spanish-Amer- lean war MT. Nelson enlisted as private Subsequently he re-enlisted for service in the Philippines and went to the far east with the Thirty-nfnth Regiment in 1899. He contracted fever in Luzon, and so i'll was he that one day he was pronounced dead Rallying, after many weeks. he was sent home an invalid. He never re- covered his strength.
 MT. Nelson was twenty-five years old and was a newspaper worker on the Dadeville Spot Cash, for which he did ad- mirable service and which he did much to make popular In that relation, and in all life's practical relations, he was true. faithful and just and in his passing the state loses one of its best young meni
