A Mrs. General of eeornla.

'At last, at last, o shade of LIndley any newspaper may grammatically print that title-provided it be applied to this one woman alone" said a man weary of misapplied titles and the slop of mili- tarism served up to civilians, together with Judicial rubbish to the non judicial.
 We already had Mrs. doctors, and if woman suffrage prevail we may look for Mrs. Judges. Governor Jelks may give us Mrs. majors and Mrs. colonels-he is a most gallant admirer of good women
 But his brother Governor of Sister Georgia has got the start of Alabama s distinguished young Governor by naming a woman major-general
 This first Mrs. general in America queens and expresses in the old world are generals and colonels-is Mrs. Legare Hill Bowles of Washington, Ga, the place Bob Toombs came from Governor Candler gave this unique distinction to the fair Georgian in acknowledgment of the graceful hospitality with which she entertained and welcomed him on his in spection of the Third Georgia Volunteers in Washington. Ga. The Governor started from Atlanta to Washington to review the regiment and was met half way by detail of officers, headed by Mrs, Bowles, who is the sponsor of the regiment. She extended him welcome couched in glowing and cordial lan- gIrage, to which His Excelency made reply in like part:
 Throughout his visit to the camp and for the term of the inspection Mrs. Bowles exerted herself to see that the Governor had an enjoyable time, and she completely won his esteem by her tact and grace. He further ascertained that she was extremely popular with the sol- diers of the regiment. all sons of Geor- gia's best citizens and on his departure in a neatly worded speech he told her that henceforth she might consider her self connected with the State militia in the capacity of a major-general. Mrs Bowles, who Is a strikingly handsome woman, and the boys of the regiment were so pleased at the compliment paid her that they organized a picturesque celebration in honor of the event"

should not be placed. and that is, that the negro's right to vote is on an educational qualification. but the white mans right to vote is on birthright qualification. thereby encouraging negro education, with no incentive for the intelligence to be acquired by the white race.
 From the Centreville Press.
 We are of the opinion that the greatest trouble with the delegates of the conven- ton Is that they axe afraid of the people. Personal popularity and glory are hard to purchase by framing such and such a law because it is popular, when it would be detrimental to the State. Statesman ship should be made of other material than the whims and prejudices of popu- larity. The convention has the brains to formulate a constitution equal any, in the country, but the question is, will they do 1t? ~ ..s From the Clarke County Democrat.
 If the constitutional convention had been composed of only one hundred mem- bers, apportioned as are members of the lower house of the legislature business could have been transacted with much greater rapidity, comfort and with far less expense to the State But there were so many men, big and little, that want ed place, that supposed that they could render valuable service to their State in a body of that character, It had to be made large that they could all get in. They are having a crowded, unpleasant and confused time. and half the talk had would be better not had, and half the money expended could have been saved for wiser purpose,
 From the Carrollton West Alabamian.
 We do not believe the liberty-loving people of Alabama favor the proposed grandfather clause. It is dangerous step to take. It builds up a favorite class who will always have the right to vote by right of inheritance while the other class must possess certain qualifications and be in favor with the registrars before they can hope to vote. What is to prevent this favored class from controlling the regis- trars, who will decide that none or but few of the non-favored class possess the requisite qualifications? Its tendency is to build up an aristocracy like that of Eng land. We commend the views of Senator John T. Morgan upon this question, which will be found Tn this issue. ...-

 Senator Morgan's contribution on the and comes at an opportune time. It is hoped the constitutional convention will heed the words of this wise statesman and not create @ hereditary class of vot- CTS in Alabama, an act clearly in opposi- ton to the spirit of the constitution and contrary to democratic government
 From the Greensboro Watchman.
 The constitutional convention Is still in session and is liable to continue so for a month to come. We guess the delegates are doing the best they can, but they are going to have a hard time to get up a better constitution than the one they are endeavoring to remodel, The suffrage question was really the only thing that needed working on, and but little prog ress has been made in that direction. From the Tuscumbia Dispatch.
 The 'granddaddy" clause is not the only objectionable feature in the suffrage law. If we have anything to say along this line we would make the election officers or registrars elective by the people, and there would be no chance for a cry of a partisan board. The convention was partisan board. The convention was called to regulate elections in Alabama and discontinue ballot box stuffing. If this is true. don't put too much tempta- tion in the way of the registrars. Make them responsible to the people. If not, divide the registrars with the opposing political parties, ,,
 From the Wetumpka Herald.
 The grandfather clause in the suffrage plank Is becoming very obnoxious to some of our leading men. Notably among them is Senator Morgan, who has come in an article in the Advertiser giving his views and objections to said clause. His main objection is that it establishes 0 right by inheritance, which is special ard ex- elusive, and thereby re-establishing the old English law of primongeniture, which has been abrogated in American by the or ganic law of the land. There is another objection to said clause which is detri- mental to the best interest of the white race, and under which disadvantage they

CARNEGIE,s MAGNIFICENT GIFT
FMty Thousand Pounds a Year for Free
Education In Scotland

London. May 20-Andrew Carnegie
has given s2O00000 to establish free
education in four Scotch universities,
Edinburgh. Glasgow. Aberdeen and st.
Andrews. He stipulates that the ben
ehciaries be his Scottish fellow-coun-
trymen"-no English Irish colonials or
foreigners The fund will apply to
medical as we'll as to commercial ed
ucation and will be placed in the hands
ot trustees, who will pay the expenses
of Scottish students benefited under
the scheme.
Mr.. Carnegie had for some years been
considering the plan for helping Scotch
students to obtain university educa-
ton.
He consulted with Lord Balfour OF
Burliegh. Lord Elgin, Thomas Shaw, NJ.
PHand other representative educators
and the result was that he presented
the fund referred to- which will produce
an income of e50,000. Mr.. Carnegie's
inquiries show that the total fees paid
to the four universities is $4,000 an
nually. He considers that the e2,000,-
600 he has donated will give an income
sufficient to provide free university ed
ucation for every boy and girl in
Scotland capable of passing the en-
trance examinations.
Mr.. Carnegie is determined that the
benefits shall be open to rich and poor
alike so that there shall be nothing sug-
gestive of pauper connected with the
gift. He desires that all Scotchmen
and Scotch women shall enter the uni
versities on an equal footing, hence the
money is not given to the students to
pay their fees but to the universities
themselves. The system is made per-
petually free and will probably be un-
der government auspices.

Mr.. O'Berry, director Of the peniten-

crop. The Day administration made a
contract with a Raleigh firm for the
sale of the whole crop, making the estl-
mate that it was &C, 900 bushels and was
worth S4S 900. Mr.. O'Berry said today:
Our calculation was that it would not
bring over $4,000, and now it looks like
$4,000. These penitentiary estimates
made by the Day administration grow
beautifully less every time they are
look at" The estimates of the retired
administration evidently are held in
but. small value.
There is some talk here about a
threatened strike of carpenters. Such
a strike in this state would cut no fig
ure as people could be secured from
farms TO do such work. Many farm

Grass is giving the farmers a good
deal of trouble. There appears to be

OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH
Committee Report on the subject to
Southern Presbyterian Assembly

COnmlCCOo RepOFU on me SUBJECT 10
Southern Presbyterian Assembly
Little Rock, May Reconsideration
of the separate reports of the ad in
terim committee on revision of the
church law as to ecclesiastical COM
missions began in the Southern Pres
byterian general assembly today and
caused four hours discussion. The re-
port signed by Hon. Joseph w. Mar
tin Ii. D., of Little Rock, and Chief
Justice H. G. Bum, of the Arkansas
supreme court, makes a clear diStinc-
ton between a commission and
commissioner. A commission, accord
must have as many members
for a quorum as is needed to make
quorum of the body which appoints it.
In the separate report submitted by
r. G. Reed, of Columbia, S. c.; J. F.
Cannon and G. w. Finley, the number
to make a quorum is not specified eX-
cept in the ordination of ministers,
which always requires a quorum of. the
presbytery. Judge Martins report re-
quires additional amendments to the
book of church order. DIR. Reeds re-
QuireS no amendments.
After being amended so as to make
a commission a body of presbyters in
lieu of body of church officers, the
Martin report was adopted.
The report of the board of directors
of the Louisville Presbyterian theologi-
cal seminary was read, together with
a copy of the agreement for consolida-
ton of theological seminaries at Dan
Vile and Louisville, KY. Both were re-
ferred. 'I. y e. n slG
The assembly voted to send DR.. S.
H. Chester. secretary Of foreign mis-
sions. to Brazil at once to examine the
Presbyterian work there.
The report Of the permanent commit
tee on the Sabbath was one of the
most interesting papers Of the day. 1t
says among other things:
LAS long as the nation continues to
set aside the divine law in the carry
ing and delivery Of mail, thus reauir-
ing its army of employees to work on
the Lords day; as long as it continues
by it's own example to disregard the
authority of the Lord in continuing it's
business on His day, as the congress
has done; as long as the different
states allow the running of both
freight and passenger cars; as long as
secular newspapers are allowed to pur-
sue their avocation, as on other days,
publishing and selling their papers for
gain, it must be difficult, if not impos-
sible to influence the masses to main
tain decent respect for the Lords
day.
The report mentions that the pres
bytery of Norfolk reports discontinu-
ance of Sunday newspapers by some
members as the result of faithful
preaching on that subject; the presby-
terry of West Lexington reports the
closing of saloons in the city of Lex
ington upon the Lords day and the
presbytery of Atlanta reports the
successful resisting of opening Sunday
concerts in the city of Atlanta. Final
action on the report was deferred.
