CONTROL Something Universally Need

There have been in recent years sew
eral instances of sudden wealth. South
Africa and Cripple Creek have produced
Gillionaires over night, and a bicycle

land n ade $40, 600, 900 in as many weeks,
says Leslie's Weekly. There are sew
sral thousand people who are each
worth $1.000,0G0 or more, and there are
several more thousand who are on the
road to become millionaires. Most Of
these are persons who are getting theiI
riches on small fractions of cent. The
street railway kings who are rising to
millions and tens of millions are fully
satisfied with part of one cent of the
nickel they collect, because there are
30 many of them.
The sugar kings have reduced che
price and improved the quality Of sugar,
but as long as they get their fraction
on each pound the Americans buy they
can make q profit all the way from 20
70 so per cent. The coal oil monopoly
has also reduced the price and i'm.
proved the product, but its little frac-
tion makes the greatest money-makine
enterprise In America. The man who

The first thing IL to get control of some
article of universal use, and the small
fraction win do the rest.

Louisville Evening Post, that was
placed there before monument maker3
fourished in that part of Kentucky.
There were but two graves in the little,
unfenced spot, and they were in tn.
center Of a sassafras thicket. This ole
stone, over which the ivy had crept, well
nigh blotting out the inscription, bort
these words, which seemed to have been
chiseled by trembling fingered novice:

In those few simple words: She wus

than that such compliment might
truthfully be placed on the tomb above
my silent form. 1t was no different
from any of the chiseled platitudes one
sees In large cemeteries. I wondered
what loving heart could have inspired

DON'Ts FOR BOATING.
Some Rules for the Guidance OF
the Land-Lubber.

TIC LdnO~ LuDDeFs
Some people, fearless because ig-
norant of dangers, will insist upon
boating parties, and we have every
summer a long list OF unnecessary
accidents on our rivers land lakes).
Most OF these might have been
avoided by a little knowledge of
what not to do in boat.
To begin at the beginning, when
taking your place do not step on the
side of the boat, or the consequence
will be that, unless you have very
experienced mariner as your COM
panion, he will, through the sudden
lurch Of the boat, be pitched back
ward into the water.
But place your foot on the seat,
well in the middle of it; don t stand
there hesitating, but give your
weight onto that foot land promptly
step with the other onto the floor Of
the boot ~
Sit down at once, even II not IN
the particular spot you wish to &C.
cupy; the change can be made so
much better after minute or so,
when you have quite made up your
mind where you would best like to
sit, and when the boat has recovered
from the little wabbliness OCCASION
ed by your entry.
Be sure not to stand up when any
body else is moving about the boat.
More accidents have happened that
way than any other
Even If you should think that by
so doing you might avert catas-
trophe, renounce the idea--unless,
of course, very trustworthy guide
should counsel the action.
Above all things, remember that,
when going through rapids, is per-
fectly essential to sit still.
Do not rock the boat to tease a
companion; and, if frightened, sit
still and do not grab at anyone.
Do nos wear fine clothes, but dress
neatly. Large hats, feathers and
streaming ends are inappropriate
and most uncomfortable on the
water. A light wooden skirt, a
cotton shirt with a jacket to match
the skirt and plain straw hat are
never amiss; but more shady head
gear may be donned with simple
summer dress for smarter &C.
casion.
1t is impossible to leave the sub
ject without word of advice to
lazy man. Never allow girl to
scull you upstream in the blazing
sun while you loll back at ease. The
girl may be a would-be athlete, pro-
testing that she likes it, but all the
same you must not permit her to
overtax Eer strength as to risk
sunstroke. There could be only one
opinion as to the man S breeding
under these circumstances, and his
selfishness is beyond hope. -Phila-
delphia Ledger.

LISTEN TO IT.

We fear The Birmingham Ledger is just little inclined to take strabis- nal view of The Advertiser and its friends. For example, we have alwayR contended' tha the Constitutional mini mum of the size of counties is too high, and have insisted that it ought to be reduced. Because of this, and because the papers of the State have had the courtesy and fairness to speak favor ably of The Advertisers efforts to get out a paper worthy of Alabama and Montgomery, The Ledger has this fling:
 So every man that expects to be bene- fitted. as well as those who own property in the proposed county seats, will be earn est in the support of the new county idea, and, as The Advertiser is the champion of that idea, they are all friends of that paper now. As there are several new county schemes, there are many men of the kind.
 The Ledger, if it has been reading this paper with any degree of atten- ton. has little ground for putting The Advertiser down as the champion "of the new county idea" We have only | insisted that where the conditions warranted it, and the people most deeply interested are in favor of it, they ought to have a right to form a new county with an area something less than 500 square miles. This, as We view 1t, is the very essence of that right of local self-government for which we are all contending.
 The Advertiser is not advocating the | formation of any special new county in Alabama. There is no project of that kind in view which we have any reason for championing, and we do not now know of any movement of that kind with which we have any business or desire to interfere. If we should take the position that a man ought to have a constitutional right to cut off hiA own

AND THE FLIES, TOO.

There has probably never been a aifae, at least since Pharaoh's experi- ence with them that flies have not been looked on as a pest and & nui- sance. We are profoundly impressed with the belief that they are the most thoroughly bull-headed and conscience less specimens of animated nature that came out of the ark assuming that Noah had any with him. Come to think of it. he couldn't help himself, and it would have made no difference any. way. A. little thing like forty days of rain would not have set MT. Fly back any.
 Be that as it may, the fact remains that they are an intolerable and inde- structible pest, and now, to- the other sins charged against them. the medical men charge them with the sin of car rying disease and scattering it cover all creation. It is intimated that they are as bad as mosquitoes in this re- spect. with the added disadvantage that flies are an almost universal pro- duct of the earth. Mosquitoes are. prin- cipally confined to certain regions and special localities, but dies are Hound wherever human beings congregate, and the difhcultv of exterminating or guarding against them is perhaps more insurmountable than in the case. of the mosquito.
 And there is another point in which. they excel mosquitoes as disease car-' riers. The latter's forte is principally confined to the dissemination of dis eases of malarial character. but if what is charged against flies is true they are thoroughly and wholly i'm partial in their operations. and will as readily load themselves with one dis ease as another. and as 1t is almost impossible to entirely keep them away from the sick. or to prevent their flying abroad, it is evident that if the scien- lists are correct. they are a real meA- ace to humanity. While 1t was really not necessary to bring this additional charge against them in order that de- termined war should be made on them. this new accusation may stimulate the inventive genius of the country to de- wise and perfect plans for their destruc- tion, and will be a new incentive to housekeepers and others to rid the world of the little pests. They give trouble enough as it is to make all human beings their enemies. but when to this is added the knowledge that every one alighting on you may. be loaded with disease 1t is plain that the fly isn't likely to have any friend left among civilized people.

! Some of our contemporaries in the cities are entering vigorous protests against the circular-throwing nuisance which is now becoming such a popu- lar fad. Littering the streets and side walks is bad enough, but when these odger-distributors throw their trash into private yards and front porches. it may well get to be positive evil. Even if all such advertising matter was de- cent and readable 1t would be objec- tionabIe enough, but it is an undeni- able fact that much of the stuff, espe- cially medical andiquack circulars, con- tain matter wholly unfit for children to read or look at, whatever the older people do. It really seems as though d mans own house and yard ought not to be flooded and contaminated against his will by this kind of litera' kure.

ALL IS PEACE AGAIN.

The Advertiser expressed the view yesterday that wrong impression was made by the Constitutional Conven- tion's action on Wednesday in reference to the resolutions upon the State Press Association. offered by MT. Greer of Perry. We were sure that the Conven- tion did not mean any disrespect to the contrary. the body entertained the highest regard for the Press.
 This view was sustained by the action of the Convention yester- day. MT. Sanders of Limestone in- troduced a resolution extending a hearty greeting to the State Press As- sociation in session here. expressing it's appreciation of the efforts of the State Convention, and recognizing the in strumentality of the Press in reaching the people and in determining the po- litical destiny of the State. This reso- lution was very handsome. and covers all the ground necessary to satisfy the most exacting.
 This resolution was passed with prac- tical unanimity. and an enrolled copy sent yesterday afternoon to the Secre- tary of the Press Association. It was read to the latter body, and received with applause. This graceful action on the part of the Constitutional Conven- tion removes any possible misunder- standing on the part of the newspaper men of the State, and leaves no doubt that the Alabama Press will work as heartily for the adoption of the instru- ment to be perfected by the Conven- ton, as, it has heretofore for the calling of the body into existence.

We asked The Charleston Post to ex- plain how the delegates from that city to the Southern industrial Convention could be famous for beauty and elo- quence, and our contemporary does it after this manner:
 The Charleston delegates to the conven- tion were men and brethren, but what then? Is there no such thing as nascu- line beauty? If The Advertiser has any doubts of it's presence among the Charles :. ton delegation to Philadelphia, we would refer it to The North Americans descrip- tion of Mayor Pro Tem Kollock and to the same papers pictorial presentation of Major J.

SHORT ON FISH KNOWLEDGE.

The Citroneiie Times Is guilty of this lapse in ichthyological knowledge:
 While engaged in removing the scales from a catfish several weeks ago, MT. Harry Mourer had the ptsfortune to re- ceive a painful wound m the forennger from one of the barbs.
 The brilliant editress of The Times should know that catfish is as guilt less of scales as an eel is, If the ar- ticle had stated that the fisherman was wounded while removing the fish from the scales, we would have supposed he was preparing for big fish story, but the joke is on the paper, this time.
 But we can testify to the painful na~ ture of the wound caused by the fin or horn" of these fish, and do not in the least doubt the further statement of The Times that the wound became so painful in day or two that Mir. Mourer had to apply to doctor for relief, and that it was found necessary to make af incision into the wounded finger and re- move a piece of the barb which had broken off in the wound.
 The pain caused by puncture from the pectoral fins of a catfish is of pe- culiar nature, and has different feel ing from a wound or a sting from al- most any other source. To take hold of a small wiggling catfish without get ting a sharp stick from his barbs is very difficult, and if one of them en- ters the finger or thumb at one of the joints, more painful wound can hard ly be found, though it is rarely attend- ed by serious consequences.
 But catfish have no scales.

 Brothers in an Accident.
 Jake and Bob Sanders, colored, broth CTS. met with a fearful accident early this morning at the Alice furnaces, and as a consequence Jake was so badly injured that he cannot recover, and it is doubtful if Bob will be able to get over his injuries. These two men worked on the slag dumping train. They were near hot pot of slag when the same exploded. It seems that steam had generated in the bottom of the pot, and, while being carried to the dump. exploded. The molten metal and cinders flew upward and descended on the two negroes, enveloping them with the red-hot substance. All the clothing and shoes were burned off of Jake. and his skin peeled off in great flakes. Engineer Al Lawrence, who was in charge of the train, narrowly escaped with hIs life.
