Local Census Facts.

The latest figures in the latest cen sus bulletin deserve at least passing attention. For example, it is shown that there are in this town II, ,587 per sons of school age, all of whom were born in this county except 236. The whites of this town are 6,445 in num- Der, while the blacks number 5,141, leaving one person to be classed as a Chinaman or Jap or Indian. The male whites of school age are 3,205; the blacks, 2,342. The females between and 20 inclusive are 6,039, thus show ing that there are 491 more girls than boys in this city. Of the females of school age in this town 3,240 are whites and 2,799 are blacks.
 Birmingham contains 10,67S males of militia age, of whom 6.370 are whites, and 4.302 blacks. Of males of voting age this town holds 12,246, of whom 1850 are whites and 4,689 blacks. In Jefferson County there are 21 ,036 na- tive whites of voting age; 2,796 foreign born, and 18,472 blacks, and 13 scat tering. Avondale contains 594 native whites of voting age, 19 foreign-born, and 271 blacks. Bessemer has 715 na- tive whites of voting age, 131 foreign born, and 1922 blacks. Pratt City holds 523 native whites of voting age, 152 foreign-born. ana 387 blacks. Wood lawn includes 529 native whites of vot- ing age, 34 foreign;born, and 166 blacks. The Alabama towns that con- tain a majority of black voters are Bessemer. Demopolis, Montgomery, Opelika, Talladega, and Union Springs.
 Out of Birmingham population of voting age 10,195 can read and write, and 2,051 cannot. This towns illit- crate of voting age include 164 whites, and 1886 blacks, These figures are very creditable to this town, although they show that there is still margin of ignorance that needs attention and reduction.

A GOOD HEATHEN EXAMPLE,

From the Charleston News and Courier
 Bathing Is national institution in Japan. In 1890 there were over 800 pub lie baths in the one city of Tokio, in which, 1t was estimated, 300,000 persons bathed daily, at cost of about 1 cent each for adults, with a reduction for children.
 Think of it-over 800 public baths in one heather city, and not eight in all the dozen Christian states in this general latitude. with their 25,000 900 inhabitants And 30O,000 clean heathens bathe daily in that one city, while millions of our dusty Christians do not bathe, on the same altogether scale, weekly or even monthly.
 The comparison is vastly to our disad- vantage and discredit and the more so as it Is an unwrtten article of our creed that cleanliness is next to godliness."
 While we are so busily engaged in "opening doors" on the far side of the world on commercial principles it would not be a bad idea, evidently, if we opened a few score, on sanitary principles, at home

MIR. HERBERT REFUTES
 STRANGERS INTERVIEW

Referring to the interview with former Representative William M. Springer, published in the Age-Herald last Sunday. Colonel Hilary A. Herbert in a letter to the editor of the Age-Herald says:
 Washington, July 1, 1901. ITO the Editor of the Age-Herald, Bir- mingham, Ala.
 Dear Sir;-Mr. Springer's criticism of my Montgomery speech, in your issue of Sunday morning, and the numerous mis- takes in it, remind me of the remark of Tom Reed, when MT. Springer said one day in the House that he would rather be right than be President" "The gen. tleman need not trouble himself" replied MT. Reed, The will never be either"
 "Mr. Springer says I supported Mo- Kinley. I did not He classes me with the protectionists. My speech shows he is mistaken. He classes me with Senator McLaurin. with whom I disagree widely. And lastly, his statement that I am awaiting an opportunity to turn Republi- can, is simply an absurd reply to an arr gument of which MT. Springer had only a chance to read an incomplete synopsis.
 "Yours respectfully,

CHINAMAN'S EASY PAYMENT.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 Those who understand the subject have to admit that when 1t comes to the ques- ton of rational dress. the Chinaman has very much the best of 1t. Who Is there of us, arrived at certain rotundity of figure, who can comfortably pick up a nickel from the sidewalk without risking the integrity of many vital points of his raiment? American clothes are not made for the performance of much stooping or domestic gymnastics, but the Chinaman in his loose, easy-fitting clothes, Is as free to stoop. jump, run or turn hand springs as small boy In bathing. In Chinese suit of clothes you can lie down and sleep with the same amount of comfort that you can stand up and walk

Alabama Facts and Eiuures.

The latest census bulletin relates to persons of school age, to males of mil itia age and of voting age, and to the number of foreign-born males, in Ala bama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Cali fornia, Colorado and Connecticut. The alabama figures are at least interest ing to readers of The Age-Herald.
 In Alabama there are 3,222 persons of school age-that is to say, between the ages of 5 and 20 inclusive. Of this number 731 ,664 were born in this coun- try, leaving only 1,55S of foreign birth. The whites number 394, ,152; the blacks, 33S, ,98O, with a few Chinese, Japanese and Indians besides. The males of school age number S6N757, of whom 199, ,582 are whites and 168,132 are blacks. The females of school age are 365 ,465 in number, of whom 194 ,570 are whites, and 170,Ss5 are blacks.
 The males of militia age in this State aggregate 328,949, of whom 1S7 ,043 are whites, and Al ,906 blacks. The males of voting age are in number 413,862, of whom 232,294 are whites, and 181, ,56S are blacks. Of the whites 8,162 are for eign-born. Cullman County contains but five male negroes of voting age and Winston but three, while Jefferson has 1S,472, and Montgomery, Il ,429. h Macon County there are but four for eign-born males of the voting age, and in Fayette but three. In Jefferson there are 2,796.
 In the State the males of voting age number 413,862. Of these 274,213 can read and write and 139, ,649 cannot. This makes the percentage of illiteracy among the males of voting age in the State 33.7 Of the white illiterates 71g are foreign-born. The white male illit crates of voting age number 31,614; the black male illiterates of voting age number 107,997. The total number ol illiterate voters being 139,611, besides { few Chinese, Japanese and Indians Greene County has but 45 white illit crates of voting age, the smallest nun Der in any county in the State. Sumter has but 6S, and Dallas 72.
 These figures will become much more interesting when the figures for the other States are at hand, for then we will be able to see which State con tains the largest percentage of Hitter ate voters. In this State 142 per cent of white voters are illiterate, and 59.5 per cent of black voters.

 But bicycles endanger life in the streets of Birmingham every day. How many bicycles are without bells? Who yer hears a bicycle bell ring? Why Is there no kind of attempt made to stop the reckless riding of bicycles in Birming- ham? Isn't it miracle that a greater number of bicycle accidents do not occur?

Couldn't Control woman's Vote.

While the proposition that the women of Alabama be given the franchise shocks many real Southern women and offends many real Southern men-the men resent ing with some bitterness the dragging of their women kind into the mire of politics 1t Is not without value to note that in Canada women vote in school elections and display much independence Of their men," said a native of Canada now rest dent in Birmingham.
 "Very properly, a voter in Canada has vote in every ward or voting district where he or she owns a certain amount of property. In other words. property votes in Canada, as it does in England, the most wisely governed of all countries, and the man who owns property may have the right to cast from two to two hundred votes in separate localities over the coun- try; many men actually vote many times in an election.
 Assume, for example, that Judge Cole man owns property in Jefferson and like wise in Hale. Dallas. Perry and Lowndes counties. Under the Canadian and En- glish principle he would have vote In each of those counties, which would be entirely just. since property has to bear about all the burdens of government.
 "But, to come back to the woman at the polls. My father had six votes in Toron- to, and my sister, who had just come Of age, had one vote, as she owned some property in her own name When the first election came after she reached voting age, my father remarked to her in the morning of election day that she'd better vote, and said he'd be glad to take her to her voting place in his buggy. My father was a hot prohibitionist, and was the greatest worker that side had. After he and my sister had driven some dis tance on the way to her voting place, my father drew from his pocket ticket and handed it to her, saying:
 Mary, there is a ticket for you to vote'
 "She examined it, and passing it back to him said:
 "'Yes; but don't need that. intend to vote the other ticket"
 "He was amazed and annoyed at this show of independence on the part of his daughter, and after blurting out some- thing else he said:
 'Herel I can't drive you to the polls to vote such a ticket as yours!'
 "All right she said. Stop your horse and let me get out; I'll go on the street carl!
 My father got red in the face. but drove on in silence for some distance, nor did my sister speak.
 "See here, Mary my father said sud- denly. T can't drive you to the polls for you to vote against my ticket, and I cer- tainly can't let you go to your voting place in street car. Now. I'll do this: I have six votes, and I'll promise you to cast only five if you'll promise me not to vote.'
 "'That's fair said my sister. T promise.
 And turning his horses head my father drove his independent daughter back home. The prohibitionist lost one vote and the opposition lost one. It was a fair pair.
 "So, unless I am greatly mistaken. the few men in Alabama who desire law allowing women to vote are greatly mis- taken if they assume that they could control the votes of their own women folkr'
