Surprised at Plurality.

New York, Nov. 2.-The London corre- spondent of The Times says concerning the Galway elections:
 "A victory for Colonel Lynch was gen. eraily anticipated. but the plurality IS greater than his supporters had expected. At the general election Morris, the Un- ionist candidate won the seat from the Natianalists by plurality of 127. so that the result means on paper an addition to the Nationalist force in Parliament. Not much sympathy is expressed for MT. Plunkett the defeated candidate, in this mornings papers.
 His attitude in Galway was not suf- ficiently anti-National to secure for him the full Unionist vote The government may not have sufficient evidence to show that Colonel Lynch fought for the Boers,, SO that if he decides to disavow the tes- timony of his packers, he may after all be able to act as a member of Parlia- nnent."

It Must Go.
.nineham APa-Herald-

Birmingham Age-Herald.
 The natural effects of our Chinese wall tariff are imperfectly understood, and in the presence of this ignorance, utilizing it to the utmost, the Republican leaders and gatherers of campaign funds are cry ing out. Let we'll enough alone" Don't touch the sacred tariff,'' and the like. And so it goes. By 1904 the folly of the present Dngley tariff policy will be ap- parent. It drives away foreign trade, compels gold exports and robs home con- sumers It must go.

THERE ARE OTHERS.

If it is any consolation to the people to know it, Montgomery Is not the only city in the Union which has street car system, There are others. and some of them would run ours a very close race in a competitive contest for inadeauacy. For example, The Hartford (Conn) Courant thus tells what happened up in New Haven on recent occasion:
 The company took thirty or forty car loads of people on cars marked 'To Yale Field" and after collecting their fares and carrying them into York Street side
 tracked them there and ran the process sion past them on the other York Street track. Nine-tenths of the people left the cars and went over to Chapel Street after waiting about fifteen minutes and after the conductors had advised them to go. This was absolutely inexcusable and indefensible and an outrage upon the passengers.
 It was not necessary for The Courant to put into it's account the words after collecting their fares" because all who are familiar with street-carology know that fares are always collected before any stoppage is allowed Collecting the fares is one part of the schedule that is always carried out. It matters nothing if after the fare is paid. the cars break down or stop and the passengers have to get out and walk, or hire hack. That is part of the risk taken when one gets on a street car, and it is a risk that Is always imminent. To ask the conductor to return. their fare to passengers who
 had failed to reach their destination
 would give that official spells. for he knows that his code of instructions con tains nothing of that kind. Car fare is one kind of currency that never comes back. But Montgomery is not the whole thing let us not forget, though there isn much consolation in the reflection.

For Farmers to Consider.

Livingston Southern Home.
 Six years ago the writer remembers counting 130 wagons passing his dwelling within an hour on road leading from the prairies into Montgomery. Each Wa gon carried three or four bales of cotton and was well loaded considering the con- dition of the roads at that time. Now roads have baen built since then and the same team can haul a load of ten or twelve bales of cotton over that road. Forty-hve or fifty teams can now haul to the city what 13O teams would haul over the bad roads of some years ago. Here Is a saving for farmers to consider.

New York Nov. o2.-Francisco Gamba president of the Cuban Commission, sent by the merchants. business men and agricultural associations of Cuba to the United States with petitions for the i'm provement of trade relations between the two countries, has just been interviewed upon Cuban affairs. When asked if 1t was his opinion that the United States should annex Cuba, he said
 A'As d member of this commission rep resenting all class and political parties of Cuba, do not feel myself at liberty to express an individual opinion. But were you to say that 90 per cent of the business people and property holders ot Cuba favored annexation. you would be cnrrect." |"

The Financial Chronicle" of New York, complies statistics showing that the shortage of this years harvests is some what greater in the aggregate than was at first supposed. The most trustworthy returns now available indicate that the total of corn. wheat oats, barley and rye falls about 7O0,O0OOOO bushels below the total for 1900 In wheat the gain has been about 200 900 and in barley about 12,- 100000 bushels. Corn. on the other hand, shows falling off of enough to account for the entire shortage in the grain harvest. The most important shortage is in the potato crop. The department of agriculture reports the average yield of potatoes at 59 bushels per acre. compared with 80 in 1900. and 7s for an average of ten years.

WATER POWERS IN THE SOUTH

The Electrical Review notes as one of the satisfactory signs of the times the rapid development of the long idle water powers of the Southern States and the utilization of electricity. For many years" says the Review, "the manu- featuring possibilities of that section of the country have been neglected, but the new awakening to the industrial possi- bilities of the Atlantic seaooard States has stimulated in great degree the development of the splendid powers which are found along the whole eastern slope of the Appalachian chain from the Potomac River to Georgia. Nowhere else in the world is water power more potentially useful than in this section. be developed throughout the year to great advantage, and the constantly in- creasing manufacturing industries of the region will doubtless absorb it as fast as it can be developed. The Southern States today present one of the most attractive fields for engineering develop ment in the United States, and the num- Der of plants now under erection or Tn contemplation in that section is grati- flying indication that this fact has been appreciated" Alabama, it is shown, has already g electric lighting stations; Ar kansas 2s, Delaware 7 District of Colum- bia 2, Florida r.

Most Amusing Incident.

Talladega Mountain Home.
 A most amusing incident growing out of the recent election Is that of Governor Johnston and General Shelley crying fraud. and clamoring for an honest vote and fair count. when it is recalled that both of these distinguished opponents of the new Constitution were formerly citi- zens of Dallas county, and both have been beneficiaries of the election methods of the invinclble Democratic county. Their friends even make the claim that they were past masters in the manage ment of Dallas elections.

We have all heard or read the story of the princess-French. we believe-who declared that certain poor people had better live on bread and cheese than to starve. We are reminded of the story by reading a dispatch from Manila which stated that the natives had been reduced to eating potatoes" With the prices prevailing for potatoes in this country it looks as if the natives had been reduced upwards.

A New Jersey woman came very near getting her wish the other day. Seeing a man with whom she was at enmity climbing a telegraph pole. she called out to him that she wished he would fall and break his neck. That rattled him so badly that he did fall thirty feet. but was not dangerously hurt. If his neck had been broken the woman in all proba- bility would not have been satisfied with her work.

 If ratification was carried by fraud so was the ex-Governor's election in 1S9d If it is a disgraceful, humiliating thing to live under a Constitution ratified by fraud, as he claims. it was disgracetul thing in him to hold on to the offlce or Governor when counted in by the same method over his opponent.

ELECTION OF LYNCH.
Boer Colonel Who Wins Seat in
 Parliament.

New York. Nov. 22-Commenting upon the election of Arthur Lynch over MT. Plunkett in the Parliamentary election att Galway, Ireland, the London corre- spordent of The Times says:

It seems im- possible. that he should atteNpt to come to England to take his seat He Is handsome young Irishman, imSuisive, emotional and sentimental.

The Funniest Thing.
Brundidge News.

Brundidge News.
 About the funniest thing in Alabama, politics is General Shelley intimating crookedness in election methods on the part of others. If we have the story right, in times not in the remote past, black belt majorities were not as objec- tionable to the General as they now seem to be. In the old time, blue back speller, there was a fable about farmer and a judge, the moral of which was to the effect that the fact as to whose OK is gored makes wide difference in mans opinion. That is what appears to be the matter with Hannah" and the antis. now.

the decided advantage over any Of tho
others under consideration and this
place was therefore accepted.
This site is situated in the eastern
suburbs of the city on tho south sidc,of
the Columbia, Ncwberry and Laurena
and Southern railroads. Tho mill
building will be located about 400 feet
from the tank on the Columbia, tNcw-

The company purchased IT acres
from Mr.. j. n. Caughrin and about 10

this purchase does not include the
dairy farm proper and house.
The mill building will be located in
such position that il will be within
easy access OF both railroads. They
will have the best water privileges in
town. The lay of the land is such that
an ideal factory village can be laid out.
The elevation Of the land is such that
it can't help but to be healthy and
invigorating place for the operatives

The streets have already been laid
out and opened up to this place.

In laying off the site for the mill. The
plans and specifications will bo made
in Boston by the architects from Mr..

Mills. Tho specifications and plans will
be ready within tho next thirty days
when work will begin.

Is some hustling energetic citizen to 20
to work and establish q park. Put up
at this park a suitable place for dancing
aud other amusement, lay out q nice
ground for picnics and barbecues,
build street car line to this place from

and he will make "dead loads" of money.

from town there are several others
that could be fitted up at small cost.
