Alabama at the Expositjon.

Commissioner Poole got together a very creditable exhibit of Alabama's resources which he kept at the Pan American fair until it's gates were closed This exhibit cost the State about $5000. and it did at Buffalo the State great good. It's cost will be re. turned in many ways.
 But Buffalo was but one of a series of great exhibitions. The Alabama exhibit should be enlarged as far as the appropriation will permit, and it should then be shipped to Charleston where the Cotton States Exposition will soon be opened. The Charleston exhibition may not equal in some res poets the Buffalo fair, but in other respects it will surpass it. It will be much more Southern and West In dian than was considered desirable at Buffalo In such an exhibition Ala bama cannot afford to go unrepresent. ed. and Commissioner of Agriculture Poole has the material at hand to show there what the State contains and is capable or.
 In 1903 the Alabama show collection should be doubled with view of send ing 1t to the Louisiana Purchase expo sition at St. Louis. The St. Louis show is to be carried up, if possible to the magnitude of the Chicago Worlds Fair This is possible, and the people of St. Louis consider it highly probable.

Great Incyease of Listed Securities.

York Central includes ths F millions of Harlem bonds.. Consolidated Tobacco represents the issue of bonds against Ann erican and Continental Tobacco stocks. The large increase in Pennsylvania stock listed is on account of the fact that Penn sylvana placed its capital of 150 millions on the Stock Exchange within the period covered. The steel listings stands for about one-third of the total amount.
 In the case of these special stocks, as in the total listings, it must not be un- derstood that all are new securities, al- though most of them may be so regarded in view of~the fact that the old stocks reached the point of no value before re- organization. This leaves the proper de- auctions to be cases of exchanges of secu- rites like those of Consolidated Tobacco and cases where stocks previously dealt in but not listed have been placed upon the list. American Telephone and Penn sylvania are the principal illustrations of this class.
 After making all the allowances and qualifications we think no one will dispute that the listing of securities in twenty two months has not fallen short in fur nisning opportunities for investment

uNpERwooD's CHURCH.
cIersyman's Son Puts Father Beyond
 Danger of Removal.

From the New York Times.
 President Underwood of the Erie Rall- road has the reputation in the West or being a. trifie more breezy and uncon- ventional than even the regular run or business men who hail from that breezy section. He does everything on a whoie- sale rather than retail style.
 MT. Underwood is a minister's son. His father preached in a Wisconsin town TOT many years, was much esteemed by all who knew him, and his neighbors and friends were none the less beloved by the minister. There came time, however when the church authorities decided on change in ministers, and their action was announced amid the deep regrets Of both the incumbent and many of his flock.
 In the course of time President Under wood learned of the action of the church authorities, and on a brief visit to the place found that his father had been never so distressed as at the thought O. leaving the village.
 MT. Underwood sympathized with his father, and, being dutiful son, turned over in his mind how he might do some thing to comfort his father
 Father. do you want to stay in this town and preach?" asked MT. Under wood.
 'I certainly do, my boy
 'Then you shall stay, father," said the railroad man. "Ill build you church myself, and you can stay here as its min ister and preach the rest of your natural life if you want to. I'm not very strong on theology, but I'll trust to you to give orthodox doctrines so long as the church stays in the family"
 Whereupon, without delay, MT Under wood bought lot of ground, had a church erected, and there his father preached and was happy for the rest of his life.

lIIiterate Voters in the Country.

We arc not voting people even in presidential elections, for there are 2E329,819 men of voting age in this country, and last year in a lively pres ldential race. in which both sides boiled the fullest possible vote only 13,970,000 actually voted, or less than two-thirds of a full vote. Perhaps it Is nearer correct to say that two-thirds do vote, for some have not been natur- alized, and some are shut out by poll tax and other State provisions. In most of the States however manhood suffrage exists-in thirty-fve out of the forty-five States.
 We nave 2.326,295 voters who can not read and write. One in nine is illiterate. When you pass nine men in the street one cannot read and write the mother tongue. This high percentage of illiteracy would be con- sidered, not only disgraceful. but poor economy in Germany or England or even France. Holland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden would be shock ed by such a percentage. This per centage is largely due to the negroes, one-half of whom in round proportion are illiterate.
 In Mississippi, which is far and away 'the black State" of the country, there 19S,647 negroes of voting age, and 1O5,764 of them are illiterate, or nearly 55 per cent. In Alabama there are 1S1,345 negroes of voting age, and 107 ,946 of them are illiterates. Here is percentage of illiteracy of nearly 60 per cent. Alabama has more illiterate negroes than Missis- sippi has, thus showing how heavy the task is that the State has in hand. The illiteracy of the blacks must be reduced, and under the new constitu- ton very handsome gain will be ac- complished before the next census year is reached.

SEASICK OLIVES.
How They Are Affected by the Rolling
 and Pitching of the Ship.

From the New York Commercial Adver-
 tiser.
 A large percentage of the olives coming to this country, the dealers say, suffer their ocean voyage. As in the human be- ing, the seasickness of the olive is the result of the vessels rolling and pitch ing, which, in some way, affects the strength of the brine in which they are packed, and in consequence the olive turns dark and sick and must be cured quickly or 1t will succumb to the attack.
 A large importing house in this city has two expert chemists or doctors" who examine all olives at the steamer dock upon their arrival. The seasick olives are at once taken from the brine, carefully washed and deposited in strong, clean brine which, in most cases, has the salu- tary effect desired. Some olives revive and are none the worse; In fact, they are often improved in quality. The impor- tation of olives reached 100000 gallons here last year. The finest olives grown come to the United States.
 In France they eat the crescent olive, which is home grown. About 16000 gal Ions Of these come 10 this country, put they are considered inferior to the Span- ish In England the edible olive is small cheap and oily. Most of the fine Spanish Queen olives, which grow within a fifty-mile radius of Seville and nowhere else, come to this country and constitute between 60 and 70 per cent of the entire importation. They are not popular in Spain, as they are deemed too expensive, and the Spanish people prefer to ship them and obtain the money. The con- stitution of the olive Is very delicate From the time the crop is gathered until it is finally packed in the bottle there Is not a moment which is not fraught with the intensest anxiety on the part of all who handle the fruit.
 Some three years ago there was a 70 per cent. advance in the price of olives owing to the shortage of the crop. The price, however, has been maintained, and importers believe it will remain high. Olives are usually imported in the bulk, as the duty on bottled olives is 40 per cent. ad valorem. while in barrels there is a specific duty of 15 cents gallon, which is much cheaper.

Registration in the Black Belt.

Sixty-six registration boards will in the course of the next sixty days be organized in the State, and in this very organization at the outset the crucial test of the new constitution will be found. For these sixty-six boards will provide the State with a permanent electorate that will be all- powerful during the next twenty-five years, and very influential twenty-five years longer. The work assigned to these boards will be the supreme test pf the new constitution, and if the work of these boards on the first day of next August be acceptable the new constitution will have as friends and supporters all unprejudiced mon in Inc State.

BRINGS 300 TROOPS.
Colombian Gunboat General Pinzon
 Reaches Colon.

Colon. Colombia, November 1.-The Co., lombian gunboat General Pinzon arrived here today from Savanilla with 300 troops.
 In view of the unchanged conditions on the isthmus, this evidence of the governments policy to reinforce its forces here gives credence to the presumption that General Carlos Alban, military com mander of this district, has finally resolv- ed to load a strong attacking force against the insurgents within his jurisdic- tion and attempt to terminate the pres ent wearisome deadlock between the Co., lombian rebels and their government.
 The commander and officers of the United States gunboat Iowa were tender ed ball last night at Panama by the Colombian officials and Elite Society at that place.
