THE MURMUR OF THE WORLD.

browning leaves the shades gently fall but to the wide-open eyes of mortals whose souls are not untidy the shadows are crested with softened sunbeams, ar the pure of heart are unafraid It ma have not been yours, my beloved, to kesS yourself unspotted from the world; ybu 1t has been yours to keep your hA ear clean, your spirit tidy and walk 1and in hand with sweet charity and in sNRne measure make for the worlds freedom from the tolls of grossness and wrong, and cleanse 1t of the rust that corrodes and corrupts. Such as you no gloom has frighted; none shall fright, even when the cool and slumberous breath comes from that unmurmuring stream of the un- measured shores whither journey the weary to rest at last. Perhaps ;-and so the harbor-lights of love guide you to your rightful place in the blessed port of sleep. Your "care casts anchor in the harbor of dream, and there Is rest too deep to be regardful of the unhappiness that follows the footsteps of sin and hovers over mans injustice unrighteous- ness, uncharitableness, and hate.
 Roses of love bud and blossom in every life that loves and every life that prays. The cooling of summers opulent warmth spells the warming of many a human heart that Is fast coming to the seedtime of joy and Is undreaming of the ripened harvest of the long afterwhile when the odor of the roses in their fading shall be even sweeter than 1t is in their bud ding and blossoming.
 Eyes of the sweetest rose in the rose bud garden of womanhood still flash and sparkle like diamonds; red lips still whis- per something of the story the angels love to hear-the worlds oldest and new est story; ''the beautiful, the inexpensive she" still swings upon the gate of some mans heart and still wears the roses his love has planted in her fair life.
 The world is still the world of the low CTS. and it must be so through all it's existence. Today there cometh her king, and to him she gives her hands in glad ness.
 T am but woman, and the anxieties of this world weigh heavily upon me. Thou shalt lead me as thine own"
 So some woman saith every day, when her roses are budded to bursting and are bursting to bloom; and so she cries in her heart, to the blossoms of her joy, 70 roses roses, love you sol"
 Behold, eyes of diamonds lips of roses, heart of rosiest glory-just be glad

Telephone Poetry.

Heller eyes are like diamonds, Her cheeks are like the rose How I love dat purity III gal De Lord in de heaben knowsi'
 A man warbled that over the telephone last night.
 Where did you get that?' was asked. ''I went up on de mountain, 1 give my horn a blow! Think I heard my true Tub say, O wonder come my beau!'
 That's all good enough, but where did you get it?' was the newspaper response. Come, mother, come and kiss your dar-
 ling; Give her quinine pills; Wind your loving arms about her; Your girl Is got the chils!'
 "Stop that-stop that" was called over the telephone.
 "She wound her loving arms around me. Like a grapevine around a gum"
 That was the last of 1t. The connection was cut off abruptly and the police were called.

be no fear of tight money. and in handling the crop on the farm no one need be apprehensiye of such a fea- ture of the situation. The crop should not be hurried to market in the new cotton year. The crop of Texas is short and money will be easy. These two facts put together should prevent farmers from preeipitating cotton up- on the market A steady marketing throughout the first six months of the cotton season is perhaps the best policy this year.

F oaly DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Annistnn.

The Age-Herald today devotes an entire page to Anniston, that impor tant young city. This is not too much space, for Anniston is closely allied to Birmingham, and it deserves more than passing notice. Anniston is fully abreast of the times, and is building up as rapidly as any southern town. A ckild of the boom, it did not build be- yond recuperation, and it has sub stantial foundauon. Located most beautifully upon table land in a noun tainous district, occupied by big men of capital, brain and energy, it is no wonder that it has pressed forward, and today occupies an important posi- ton in the list of Southern cities.
 Just at this time Anniston has taken on new life ana extends most cor dial invitation to investors. It has much to hope Tor in the way of rail road bullo.ng and general develop ment. Its manufacturing industries are wide open and running full time. It's smoke stocks, whistles and general hum of industry present an enliven- m, and encouraging picture, and it is today accounted one of the industrial centers of the tate.
 The Age-Herald takes special pride in the progress of Anniston, consider ing it twin sister to busy, bustling Birmingham.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
from the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 Fresh visitors make stale company.
 I'll back any good old-fashioned grand mother against all the incubators, modi- fled with milk, and other new-fangled con- traptions for raising babies.
 Any woman who has read fair number of novels imagines that when she enters a room where there is dancing everybody is struck with her queenly air.
 It takes vivid imagination to write articles on how to prepare delicious meals, but it takes only common sense to make coffee, brown waffles. and broil lamb chops
 Most mothers-in-law think they are en- couraging their daughters when they tell them that if they have the most wonder ful luck and are exceptionally blessed by Providence they may possibly escape some of the horrible things that come to mar ried women

EenderIess Street Cars.

The dreadful, heartrending slaugh- ter of devoted mother and her help ] less babe in Twentieth street is the direct result of running cars in the streets of this town without approved lenders. The modern fender is not a "cowcatcher," but a basket that picks up any one who may be hit by a car in motion There may be negligence on the car or on the street, and yet modern basket-shaped fender will pick up the person, child or adult, and thus save a valuable life. The person thus picked up may be bruised, but life will be preserved.
 The dreadful accident in Twentieth street should lead to the equipping of every car that comes into the city with the best lenders in the market. The trolley company has in the past lacked funds, but it does not lack money now, and all speed should be made towards rendering similar ac- cident impossible hereafter.
 In the excitement of the moment it is very easy to be over critical, but no one, not even the trolley company, will say that cars should traverse a city's streets unless provided with lenders of approved construction. All other cities have such protection, and Birmingham should have had them long ago.

cuIIman Truck Farmers.

"The truck farmers of Cullman County have been successful with their crops this year and their savings will be con siderable" said a Cullman merchant yes terday.
 "The strawberry crop was perhaps the most profitable ever grown in that sec ton. Twenty thousand crates were ship ped from Cullman, which brought about $25 900. The sweet potato crop Is little late, but it will be very large. The lain came just in time to save 1t. Grape culture has not been as profitable as IL might have been. but the making of wine is coming to be commercially important. On the whole CuIlman County exhibits

THE ELMoRE CASES.


 of shooting at white man, and now the news comes that one of the members of this mob has been tried, convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment It Is wei come. and. so far as the Courier-Journal recalls, unprecedented news. Let us have more of 1t from all parts of the country.
 From the Pittsburg Dispatch
 The unexpected has happened at We tumpka. Wetumpka Is in Alabama, and the surprising event was the conviction of George Howard, well-known farmer, of murder in the first degree because he participated in lynching. Four others are to be tried in the same court for the same crime for which Howard has been sentenced to imprisonment for life.
 The significance of this trial is best cp- preciated by remembering that Wetump- ka is in the heart of the Southern lynch- ing belt. It indicates an awakening or justice in that section, and sets an exam ple that may spread as widely as has the >lvnching habit. The south has long been discredited by It's unlawful violence against the blacks. Immigration from the North and even from Europe has been discouraged by the recurrence of lynch ,nes. But since one county has aroused itself to the administration of justice the outlook Is less gloomy. The conviction of Howard should at the very least, prove warning to those ''best citizens" who have always been so ready to join the mob.
 From the New York Evening Post.
 A white man who helped to lynch iie- gro found guilty by jury of his peers and sentenced to imprisonment for life this is the novel and gratifying news which comes from Wetumpka. Ala. If this is not the first case in which a conviction has been secured. the others have been so isolated as to have faded from the mem ory of newspaper readers. Not even the resistance of few brave sheriffs Is as en- couraging as this conviction, which is the promptest kind of a response to the ap- peal of ex-Governor Jones that the law should take its course, not only with a negro, but with the negro-lynchers. How significant this conviction Is appears when one considers that the prisoner was tried in his own home district, where the sym pathy of his race must have been at It's highest, and that the, jury itself imposed the life sentence. This severity should add to the beneficial effect of the convic- ton. stiffen decent mems backbopes throughout the South, and stimulate them to similar sturdy blows in behalf of long and wantonly outraged Justice. It will be interesting to see whether the other mem bers of the mob, whose names were re- veaied by the prisoner, will likewise be prosecuted Should they all be sent to jail, the name of Wetumpka will deserve double stars in every guide-book and ga- zeteer of the United States. ~

"Roses. roses. I love you sol.

ANpoCSf AOotof iOfS SOh Ho+
 That is in spirit the cry of every hu- man heart that has known beauty and loved innocence and purity, my beloved.
 It Is a cry that rings for ever blessed anthem in the soul-space of every one who loves blindly; and unless one love blindly he or she is not a lover at all!
 Behold, the rosetime is passing, and every one of us consciously or uncon- sciously is keeping the deathwatch of the roses that are fading.
 Something that we have treasured Is passing with the roses. Something that we treasure Is ever passing. passing, passing
 But in this deathwatch of the roses there is the comfort that they shall come again. Nothing truly dies. Flowers seem to fade and pass away, but they only await through wintry hours the coming of another May
 The roses in the brides fair young face may pale to the white banner that every man holds holy, but the flush lives in her heart and survives in her other self, sent in the noblest mystery of this life; for it is the Blessed Sacrament of the inviolabie and indissolvable bridal that makes us immortal.
 And that man who resolves to live without woman, or that woman who resolves to live without man, Is an apos- tate and a rebel against nature"
 It is marriage that makes us immortal It Is marriage that makes the living, thinking. loving roses of life, and poor indeed is that man or woman who cannot or may not cry,
 Roses, roses, love you sol"
 For the loving faithful there is no death of the roses of joy, my beloved

 Grading the form that is still and cold, Symbol of joy-of loves last token,
 Telling the story that never grows old Clusters of beauty whom none can debar Know ye, wonder, how fair ye are? Blooming for monarch in palaces royal, Queenliest charmers in all the place, Blooming for yeoman, tender and loyal, Stopping to kiss his toil-stained face. Roses, roses, born but to bless.
