Hard and Soft Coal at ]. G. Gates
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-11-13

There is but one building constructed by the Government at the post that is in harmony with this day and generation. All the others are old, uncomfortable and entirely inadequate for present condi- tons.
 ''The barracks in which the cadets sleep and study and live when not in recita- ton room or on the drill ground. are Slit- tie better equipped than the barracks at the average county poorhouse. Tn many of the rooms three cadets are crowded. The ventilation of the rooms are in ac- cordance with hygenic notions of cen- tury ago, and is simply execrable."
 Features of the present arrangement which are specially condemned are the electric light and gas plants; no water or sanitary arrangements in the barracks and no bath rooms; the lack of church facilities. and the hotel, which Is de- scribed as a ''mere hut" The water sup ply also is threatened, and a water fa- mine is imminent nearly every summer.
 The report says the board Is satisfied that hazing has been eradicated Full credit is given to Colonel Mills for this
 The report refers to athletics, and says that cadet members of the basebali and football teams compare favorably with others who do not participate in these gameas
 The board recommends that the pay or the cadets, which is now $54o ay year, be increased to s609 a year to be equal to that of naval cadets.

FIVE NEW DIRECTORS
THE COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION
 MET LAST NIGHT.
Heartily Endorsed the Good Roads Convention and Started Reform in Insurance Rates for
 the City.

At the semi-annual meeting of the Com mercial and Industrial Association last night five new directors were elected To serve for the ensuing year. They are: Tennent Lomax, r. G. Caffey, N. Lob man. G. W. Barnett and Phares Coleman.
 The reports from the various commit tees were verbal but they all went 10 show an active and earnest interest in the different subjects The promise was held out that much was to be accomp- lished in each line during the next year
 The Association most heartily endorsed the Good Roads Convention and good roads demonstration to be made in Mont gomery during the week of December 2d
 Captain Falkner, the Chairman of the Good Roads Committee, explained the ob- ject and purpose of the Good Roads Con- vention and told how 1t was proposed by improved machinery and expert engineers to give object lessons in road making that would be of lasting and incalcula- ble benefit to all who were fortunate enough to witness it. He favored invit- ing the Postmaster General and Commits sioner of Agriculture of the United States the Probate Judges, Commissioners, Courts, Boards of Revenue and every cit- izen who desired, to be here during the Convention and get the benefit of the in- struction
 His suggestion was formulated into a motion and unanimously adopted and the Association gave every assurance of its active cooperation and warm endorse ment of the entire movement.
 All who come will be cordially received. Reduced fares on the railroads leading to Montgomery were assured. This will cer tainly bring a large number of people to the city during the sessions of the Good Roads Convention. Great benefits were expected from 1t and the hope was expressed that every community in Ala bama would get the benefit of the val uable lesson.
 The question of insurance rates was discussed by the Association. The Insu- rance Committee was asked to investi- gate the value of a chemical engine for the fire department and if its purchase would secure the much-desired reduction in insurance rates. and cause the city to be placed in the first class table of rates to which it is due, 1t was said, as mat ter of simple justice to the business men and property owners of the city.
 The Committee was requested to inves- tigate the justice or injustice of the in surance laws of the State and to see If something could be suggested to the leg islature that would improve and tend to make the laws more equitable and fair to insurance companies. It was stated th1t some companies were going out of busi- ness on account of there being something radically wrong in the laws of the State which certainly oppressed them and forced them out of the State.

NO EXTRA SESSION GOVERNOR. JELKs SAYS IT IS
 UNNECESSARY. Tells of the Cost to State and Ex- plains How the New Instrument
 Was Formed to Avoid
 Conflict.

After resting Sunday at his home in Eufaula from the afduous work in the campaign for the ratification of the new Constitution, Governor Jelks returned to Montgomery yesterday morning and was busy at the executive office throughout the day.
 In view of the ratification of the new Constitution by the electors of Alabama in the election Monday, the Governor was asked if the instrument would conflict with the statutes enough to make spe- cial session of the Legislature necessary.
 T can see no good reason for an ex- tra session of the Legislature" Governor Jelks replied. "and unless 1t Is shown that there is urgent necessity for such a session, it will not be called. While in session, the Legislature costs the State approximately 900 a day. Five days is the least time under the law a bill can be passed by the two houses. You can see that an extra session would be bur- densome upon the State and, in my opin- ion, Is wholly unnecessary.
 q have not investigated the new Con- stitution with reference to its conflict with the statutes. but my impression is that it was framed with especial view to the avoidance of such conflict and with a view to making a special session of the Legislature unnecessary"
 The Governor then pointed out that the machinery for the operation of the suf- frage plank of the new Constitution was provided in the instrument. and that most of the important changes in the instru- ment are self-operative. Of course, the new Constitution provides that the Leg 'islature is to enact certain laws, but 1t was not contemplated that the body should enact these laws until 1t meets in regular session in January, 1908.

POOR CHRIS TIANS. Unwise Feeding Makes Them.

Some people thought he was a funny old man when he spoke at camp meeting on the subject of Lord Give Us Sense " One of the first requisites for living a peaceful, upright, honest and religious life is food of the kind that can be easily digested and that furnishes the rebuild ing material for good healthy brain and nerve centers.
 1t is absolutely out of the question for a person to be peaceful, capable and right
 minded when the brain Is underfed. and the nerves wrecked from lack of rebuild Ing clements they have right to expect from good food.
 A person fed on meat. bacon, ham. fried cakes, hot biscuits, sticky and poor ly cooked starchy oat meal and wheat, may possibly have strong digestion enough to handle these things and be a happy, healthy individual; but 90 people in 100 have not. and the result Is irrita- ble, poorly nourished, nervous bodies, foul breath, and a general condition that prevents one from being happy and con- tented. It is practically impossible for such persons to be good Christians.
 The religion of common sense and good food Is the first religion that man or woman should cultivate, and that con- ditlon makes possible thoughts of high CT nature and a better grade.
 There is a world of wisdom in the say ing of Ruskin, We may be sure We are not serving the Lord if we are not happy ourselves" All should try to build up a steady set of nerves and get rid of dys- pepsia, constipation. futtering heart. weak, nervous conditions, and train of terrors that come from bad digestion and poor food. They should quit coffee aDso- lutely. Take for breakfast little cook ed or raw fruit, a saucer of Grape-Nuts Food and a cup of Postum Coffee. No meat or grease. You will have a clean. healthy stomach for dinner and at that meal have some meat and vegetables that you can digest. Let your supper be the same as your breakfast
 You probably don't need medicine, but you need the kind of food that contains clements that rebuild the soft gray mat ter in the brain and nerve centers throughout the body.
 It is Up to you" reader, to put your self right and make of yourself happy, cheerful individual capable, and show ing forth the charm of life rather than its terrors and distresses.

HISTORY OF MASTS
CAPTAIN FORBES ASKS NAVY
 DEPARTMENT FOR IT.
Spanish Government Will Be Asked to Tell from What Forest Alabama's Great Relic
 Was Cut.

Arrangements have not yet been per- fected for the raising of the Spanish masts in the grounds of the State Capi- tol.
 Juan de Austria. sunk by Deweys feet in Manila Bay, has been transported to the Capitol grounds and attracts great deal of attention:
 Captain A. G. Forbes, who had charge of inc matter of bringing the masts to Alabama for the Street Fair Association said yesterday that he was now in cor respondence with the Navy Department with the hope of securing a complete his- tory of the big mast.
 He has asked the Department to cor respond with the Spanish government with the view to gathering all possible info-mation on the subject. He says that ha hopes to be able to ascertain from what forest the huge piece of timber was cut.
 This history of the mast and its dra" nafIc part in the history of the Spanish American war will be engraved on brass nIate which will be attached to the mast when it is raised, so that visitors to the State house grounds may read of it's in-
 Ii is not expected that arrangements for tha formal raising of the masts will be nerfected until the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Street Fair Associa- tion which will take place the latter part of this week.

NO PARDON FOR BAILEY.
Governor Refuses to Liberate the
 Negro Recommended by Board.

Governor Jelks yesterday declined to grant a pardon to Jim Bailey. the Dale County negro, who was convicted of rob bery in two cases by the Circuit Court of Hale County, and sentenced to twenty years in the penitentiary.
 Readers of The Advertiser will recall that the advisory pardoning board re- gently recommended to the Governor that Baily be internationally pardoned on the ground that citizens of Dale County where the negro was reared, had en- dorsed his good character.
 Bailey left his home near Clopton. Dale County, two years ago and located in Hale County He was of a rowing dIspo- sition. He was accused of forcibly talk ing $1 from a young negro and g from another negro He claimed that the ne- groes had robbed him while he was asleep at their house.
 The Governor says that since the par dc ming board recommended the pardon of Bailey he has received additional evil dence bearing on the case that warrants him in refusing to issue the pardon and Bailey will serve out his time in the pen- itentiary.

 The sentiment controlling the so- called monopolies is spreading rapidly.

The city of Glasgow, Scotland. as Is well known, furnishes practical example of this idea.
 To take some intelligent action along this line would be to perform a valuable service to the city of Montgomery. and would strongly recommend that the Com mittee on City Development be requested to take charge of this matter of fos- tering sn interest in our municipal af fairs by inviting at stated occasions noted lecturers CT celebrated students or municipal problems elsewhere. to come to this city as the guests of this Asso- citation and impart to us the results or long experience and intelligent research upon these questions.
