South Carolina incident Closed.

The Columbia State declares the Senatorial off-year incident wholly closed, both Senators of that State be- ing again on peace footing with their Senatorial commissions tucked snugly away in the inside pockets of their re- spective fogas. Tn the course of the proceedings Senator Tillman comes off the gainer, because he was left in a position to protest against Governor McSweeney's refusal to accept the joint resignations, while Senator Me Laurin could oniy declare that he ac- ceded to Governor McSweeney's sug- gestion flor the good of the State, , meaning perhaps its peace. At any rate no further excitement between the two Senators will take place this year, and probably the incident is for ever closed.
 This is chiefly lamentable because the esteemed administration journals had seen in the issue thus emotionally and dramatically raised the beginning of that famous "break" in the South that always is to be, but never is. Once again they are postponed. and they must look elsewhere than South Caro- Ina for the political blessing that is found in expectation, but never in fact.
 Senator McLaurin promises to con tinue his campaign of education" by delivering speeches at frequent inter vals. This" says the Columbia State, "is his right, and he should and will receive a respectful hearing wherever he goes, but he has no right to be preaching Republicanism while he is pretending to be, a Democrat, and when the time comes the Demo- crats of South Carolina will tell him so quite plainly" The State might have added that in the meanwhile Senator Tillman will be at hand to re- ply to such Republicanism, and to take the skin off at nearly every lick.

MIR. WHITES PLAN.
.om the Meridian Star.

rToIn the A1erldlan Star.
 A delegate to the Alabama Constitu- tional Convention named White, de- scribed in the dispatches as being a resident one time of Mississippi, has in- troduced a novel suffrage resolution be- fore that body. He would deny the right to vote to all men convicted of gambling vagrancy and tramping, the same as ap- plies to men convicted of felony. As much as this clause may be laughed at, 1t is not without considerable merit An habitual vagrant is of more dread to a. community and is the cause of greater court expense and social evils than the released convict, and he should be made to suffer somewhat in proportion to his privileges as the latter individual. We have never known anything but trouble to follow the existence of the gambler. and he should also be denied the right of suffrage. The ballot is a privilege that should be placed only in the hands of clean men, men of intelligence and hon. esty, and if Alabama will adopt the White resolution she will have taken a step that will remove the political bushwhacker and onicial mountebank from power. We could almost wish Mississippi had a simi- lar clause In her constitution,

you never will, because the ready possi- bility of doing sueh . thing does not lie in woman's anatomy.
 A girl can twirl rope and jump one enough times to weary her watching brother. but a top in her hands Is a use- less thing, and the brother only laughs at her efforts to spin 1t, if she makes them. as he laughs ats all her efforts in the direction of throwing.
 Observe the playing children on the streets at this season,sand you may watch all day and not see one girl with a top in her hand, while you may see hundreds with sklpping-ropes. If you see any play ing with balls they will be simply sound Ing them on the pavements, using very short cramped motion of the arm in doing so.
 The simple fact is that girl cannot throw, in the true sense of the term, be- cause of the peculiar construction of her shoulder. When boy throws ball he bends his elbow reaches back with his forearm and uses every joint from shoul- der to wrist. His arm Is relaxed. A girl throws with a rigid arm, because her col lar-bone is larger and sits lower than a boys. This prevents the free motion of the arm required for strength and aecu- racy in throwing

Large Expenses.

Business is more prosperous in Birm- ingham than it was three years ago, but the retail merchant is not clearing as much money as some people may ina gine," said Second avenue dry goods man yesterday.
 My expenses are double what they used to be. l pay more rent, pay more for my lighting-$100 a month for electric lights-and more for clerk hire. I pay my sales people all the way from $40 to s75 per month. When these and other ex- penses are added together I have little chance to get rich. Sill, I am not kick ing, for 1t might be worse Of course the volume of retail Is better now than it ever was."

Jas. B. Kenyon in the Atlantic Monthly. They rode together down the claustraI
 aisles Of the dim woodland. From the cool
 retreats And leavy privacies the mated birds Ruffled their throats in song. High over
 head The suncoursed in diaphanous sky and
 sent Through swaying boughs his javelins of A slender stream rang all his slender
 bellls 'Twixt banks of moss and fern beside the
 way Whither they passed unheeding. The slick
 steeds Set noiscless hoofs on mast and russet
 leaves, The last years fallen glory. Each was
 young, And she was very fair. His arm was
 zoned About her. the twin roses in her cheeks Planned as she dropped against him, her
 bright hair Flowed OCT his shoulder, and her dancing
 plumes Swept his bronzed cheek.
 Then they were ware of one Who bowed and tattered. in the shadow
 stood Leaning upon staff. His sightlesst teyesf Were bent upon the twain, fickering

 their path;... Till suddenly, from behind, peal of
 mirth Caught them as with a buffet, and they
 turned, Then from his face the beggar plucked

Labor Agents at Work.

The Colorado Coal and Fuel Con- pany has agents in this district seek ing to entice to Colorado negro miners. Nego cotton field hands are also wanted in several States. These facts should not be lost sight of in the constitutional convention. The labor of the State should not be made dis contentec. Alabama has no laborers to spare All are needed here at home. and all can be properly em- ployed here.
 But if the negro is deprived of his mucl-appreciated schools, just so surely will he become the prey of i'm migrant agents, and he will begin to leave the State. All sorts of school inducements will be held up before him, and he will assuredly listen to them.
 No State has ever based public edu- cation on racial lines. and if Alabama attempts such an innovation she must be prepared not only for a, storm of public indignation throughout the country, but also for 5discontent among her negro population. The economic side of the proposed innovation de- serves attention. Can Alabama afford to deal yath her negroes differently ,-an other Southern States do-dif- fesently than Mississippi does, for ex- sample? Putting aside the larger ques- tions of the future. can Alabama af- ford today to render her labor sour and discontent, and predisposed to seek other homes? Can she afford to give the immigration agents large ad- vantages in their occupation of entic- ing away negroes? This is practical matter, and practical men should con sider it in practical way.

Leprosy in the United States.

In the course of scientific inquiry directed from Washington 5000 letters have been sent out directed to every city and county physician, every health officer, every head of hos pital, in the country. These letters call for volunteer information cover ing cases of leprosy in the community in question; the name of the leprous person; the age, sex, social condition and place of residence of such person, and the name of the attending physi- clan.
 Two thousand answers have already been received, and these answers dis close the existence of 275 lepers in this country. The total number is be- lieved to be nearly one thousand This inquiry may not disclose that number, because physicians having charge of some cases refuse for various reasons to report them.
 Of the 275 known cases Louisiana has "A, Minnesota 23, North Dakota 15, South Dakota 2, Chicago and New York 6. Nearly all of these cases are among people of foreign birth. The Louisiana cases arise chiefly among the Italians, although there are some cases among the Ar cadians. The number of cases in Louisiana is increasing. Minnesota and the Dakotas are in remote coun- try districts, and every one of them is Scandinavian.
 Congress will be asked to assume charge of this disease. Two large leper hospitals, one in the South and one in the North, are needed, and the present inquiry will be made the basis for intelligent action ons the part of Congress in this matter. Louisiana is deeply interested in public super vision of the disease, because it is known to be increasing in that. State, and State control of it has not proven efficient

Alabama a TaiIende r.

In 1890 the bottom States were Louisiana. Alabama and North Caro- lima and the territory of New Mexico
 the four bottom candidates in the respect of intelligence. The four held at that time the largest percentage of iliiterates. Unfortunately the figures of illiteracy for 1900 are not ready; but it is well known that New Mexico nas greatly improved her schools so that she is far away from the tailend group. It is also known that Louis iana's new constitution invites better schools, and that she. too, will soon be far up the list She permits every municipality to have whatever schools they desire and will pay for. She has no distinctive section that is opposed to public schools and home rule.
 The race for tailend honors is, in other words. narrowed down to Ala bama and North Carolina, and at this writing it is impossible to say which will win. North Carolina is moving in the matter of public education, but il is in a backward condition, and possi. ply Alabama may escape the battom place through North Carolina's claim upon it. It is neck-and-neck between them. however.
 The constitutional convention, build ing for a generation to come, can readily and surely doom Alabama to the reputation and losses that go with the place at the foot of the list by dividing the school money on racial lines, thus inflicting on the State a great mass of discontented and illit- crate laborers. and by refusing to com munites the privilege of having as good schools as they are willing to pay for. It can drive the State to the bottom and keep her there, or it can place the State among the progressive States of the union. North Carolina, full of cotton factories. will assuredly get away from the foot If the list.
 This convention wily be largely judged by its work in behalf of edu- cation. If it decides to plan for a higher intelligence it will be warmly commended; if it plans, for a denser ignorance it will be condemned more and more as the years gp on. For the State that has the largest percentage of illiterates will be 5ldjudged the least progressive and the most back ward, and capital and immigrants will begin to shun 1t. Ignorstnce and sloth

Congressman eurke's Death.

Congressman R. E. Burke, who died in Texas Wednesday morning, was quite we'll known in East Alabama by the old citi- ens," said man from Tallapoosa County yesterday.
 MT. Burke was a man who certainly worked his way up from the bottom. He was reared by Mrs. KimbaIl the grandmother of Senator Cuiberson of Texas, who recently paid her a visit at her home in Dadeville He began as over seer of the farm of pr. Kimball near Dadeville, Ala, in the late 5Vs. MT. Burke developed into man of strong mind and decided to begin the study of law He went to Texas and was quite successful. Four years ago he was elect ed to Congress and was making great strides for one of such short experience in the national body of lawmakers.
 Mr. Burke leaves several children. all of whom are grown"

MORE VOTES FOR PRESIDENT.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 It will take 15 more votes to elect the next President than were required in the lest election of Mckinley Under the re- apportionment act, which goes into effect on March 4. 1903. ahe membership of the House of Representatives and the Elec- toral College is increased to the extent of 20. There were AT members in the Elec- toral College which chose President Me- ISinley. There will be 47e in the body which will choose his successor In 1904, and this number will be further increased if any of the Territories should be admit ted to Statehood in the interval. The States of the North Atlantic seaboard gain nine votes in the Electoral College by the new allotment Chree of which go to New York;, the sixteen ex-slave States gain 10 and the Middle West and the Far West also gain 10.
 As the States increase and the Elec- toral College expands the chance for the dominance of any particular State grows less and less. New York was ''pivotar' in 1S44, 1S4S, 1880, 1884 and 1888. but Cleveland in 1892 and Mckinley in 1896 and 1900 would have been elected if New York, which they carried. had gone against them. Tn 1876. however, when Hayes had lead of only one vote in the Electoral College. and when Tilden carried New York, the little State of Colorado, which was ad- mitted that year-which the Democrats could easily have kept out and which they probably would have kept out had they though it would be on the other side in the election-may be said to have been ''pivotal.' The Electoral College had 36g members in 1876 It had AT in 1900. It will have 476 in 1904, while if Oklahoma or any other Territory be admitted to Statehood before then, the number will be greater. Manifestly, as the Electoral College h. creases in size, the margins for the suc- cessful candidate for President will have tendency ito broaden and no single State, however large, will ordinarily be able to claim for itself any especial dominance in dictating the result

SOME SUGGESTIONS ON
 THE NEW CONSTITUTION
BY H. H. MAYHERRY.

Mir. H. H. Mayberry has written tlie following letter discussing some ques- tions to be considered by the Constitu- tional Convention:
 Judge A. c. Howze, care of Constitu-
 tional Convention, Montgomery, Ala.
 Dear Sir: I would much prefer dis cussing in person the following subject. but being forced to be absent for several days. I think best to take up the matter by correspondence. would be glad to have you give this matter your best at tention, as feel that 1t is a matter of vital interest to every borrower in the State. You can reason from any stand point, but deep thinker must admit the truth of the report which | respectfully submit to you:
 Taxation of Mortgages.
 'By taxation of mortgages held by citi- zens of this State you are creating double taxation. In proof of this assertion, take farm, or city property upon which a mortgage exists; claim that the owner of the property pays just as much taxa tion on this property, with the mortgage on 1t. as he would pay if the mortgage did not exist. Tn addition to this full taxa tion paid by the owner, the holder of the mortgage, if he is a citizen of this State, pays an additional taxation for the mort gage, and while this additional taxation for the mortgage apparently comes out of the citizen that has no interest in the real estate. yet the truth is that the taxation on the mortgage is included in the rate of interest paid by the owner of the property to the holder of the mort gage, and the facts are that the owner of the property not only pays full taxa ton on his property, but the additional taxes on the mortgage. though he pays this additional taxation apparently, by high rate of interest for money loaned. Tn other words, to make 1t more clear, the owner of the mortgage figures out that his money must bring him a certain net return. and if he was not taxed for the mortgage, the owner of the property would secure a cheaper rate. the equal of the amount the holder of the mort gage would have to pay for mortgage taxation, so you can readily see that it Is the poor borrower who must pay the in- creased rate, which is, in every sense, a double taxation. Some poor men do not possess sufficient knowledge to get in

A Rich Mineral County.

'The richest county in Alabama, in my judgment. is Clay" said well known prospector.
 T recentlYsspent week in Clay and the mineral wealth of the county is cer- tainly very great. Every one knows of the gold there. While the veins are not large they are even and commercially valuable There Is an abundance of pyr- ites producing copper and sulphuric acid. and large deposits of graphite are now attracting much attention.
 "Clay has had no railroad and has therefore been an isolated county. But road is about to be built from Talladega to Clay, passing north of Ashland, the county seat. This line will be in opera tion within the next twelve months, and then large capital will be employed in developing the mineral resources re, ferred to-
 T predict that ten million dollars of new capital will seek investment in Clay just as soon as the whistle of the loco motive is heard resounding through its hills"
