RUSSELLVILLE
J. L. Burnett and w. T. L. cofer Have
 Joint Debate-Sharp Passages.

Russellville, November S.-(Special.)- Hon. John L. Burnett for ratification of the new constitution, and Hon. w. l. L. Cofer, in opposition, spoke to a large audience at the court house yesterday. The result was largely a victory for the ratification party. MT. Cofer led off in a speech of an hour. In the audience were perhaps 300 negroes and they applauded every utterance which had reference to their race. He abused the Democrats for staying in session In the constitution al convention longer than fifty days, and when asked by MT. Burnett if he &C., cepted pay for the over time, replied Yes; you Democrats voted 1t and I &C., cepted the benefit of it.'
 In answer to MT. Cofers argument Col onel Burnett made beautiful and manly appeal to the good sense of his audience. He took up the late history of North Carolina and showed what negro domina- tion had done to the fair name of that state. He spoke to the good sense of his audience and not their prejudices, deal ing In facts and figures. The audience was largely with him and was unstinted in applause. It Is safe to say that his speech was a vote winner. and 1t created lasting impression in all who heard it.

 It may not be right to shoot boy for loafing in an alley, but it is better for boys to stay out of alleys at night.-Ex- change).
 Hold, friend!
 This was homeless boy, and the alley is often the only refuge God offers the homeless boy. Alleys do not attract the happy and prosperous but the weary limbs and the heavy lids of poverty find peace and rest in its shadows. This youth found eternal rest there, for the Master Is ever kind to the little ones he so much desires to come unto Him. We have but to cast our eyes over the beautiful earth to discover how unevenly bread and rags are distributed among It's human chat terers-the costliest fabrics are but rags, after all. And when we see so much mis- cry and hunger and so many tatters i've must suspect that God is not rich" and the alley is the best that He can give his wayward children.

Negroes Try Fraud.

Some fifty colored applicants for teachers of the public schools of Lawndes and Montgomery counties have attempted to secure certificates from the State Board of Examiners by fraud. While examining the papers sent up from these counties the board discovered that the papers were all identical and as mat ter of course, they were all refused, and investigation was begun to ascertain the responsibility for the fraud. The state board believes that the fraud was first practised in Lawndes, some person se- curing the questions and answers and then furnishing them to the applicants A Lowndes county negro went before the board and confessed that the ques- tions had been furnished him, together with the answers thereto. He said that an unknown negro told him on the morn ing of the examination that the answers could be furnished. It was stated that the answers could be secured from a well known Lawndes county negro, who served in the constitutional convention of 1S75.. In his confession the negro said the answers were left upon his desk and he, therefore, could not state who had furnished them. a-
 There is heavy penalty attached for giving out the questions and efforts will be made to establish the guilt.

lEGR0ES PRACTICE FRAUD

Montgomery, November 3.-(Special.)- J. All indications at the capital one week be- fore the election for the ratification of the new constitution clearly point to an over whelming vote for the new instrument Through Central and South Alabama the ratification orators have been doing good work, and 1t Is now predicted that this once doubtful territory will vote hand some affirmative majority. The opposi- tion seem to lack organization and lead ership.
 In the capital county the outcome has been doubtful, and even money was at one time offered. Two to one is now of- fered that the county will vote a majori- ty for ratification. This same condition has existed throughout the Second con gressional district, but Chairman Jones said today that there is now but one doubtful county. Former Congressman Stallings, who was in the city a short while last night en route home from Bull lock, said that of the nine counties in the district he expected seven to vote against the new instrument. MT. Stallings spoke in Bullock yesterday to what he termed a flair audience" He will speak in Pike and Crenshaw during this week.
 Much work will be done by both sides this week.

 Perchance his presence in the alley had some connection with the last occasion on which he had dined two days before, but circumstances indicate rather that he thought like Little Gavroche'; Its really bully In there. There ain't any draughts, as there are under the bridges" referring to the superior sleeping com forts of the alley. Before going into the alley he probably felt his pockets me- chanically, well knowing they were empty. He had not money about him. not even a piece of bread in his pocket. It was night He was a fugitive from home; yea, fugitive before fate He went into the alley. His faith in the hospitality of the alley was faith in God. It seemed like a betrayal of confidence to kill him. lie really did not know what was best to do in his extremity. Destiny is made up of crossroads and by-paths and all options and chances are dangers. This little being had an early choice of doubtful chances-the bridges or the alley. Had he been of an age to probe self he would have detected danger, but the reflection of children is shape less and the utmost they feel is the bit ter aftertaste. The child sees the fact and little else besides. It is not until later that experience comes, with its brief to conduct the lawsuit of life," and that which was a vision in a child's brain becomes a syllogism in a mans. But, seemingly forlorn as he was, so near mankind. he was followed on his path of peril by eyes of love unsleeping in the distance of the shadows-the eyes of his angel-mother and the eyes of God.

BRITISH CONSOLS STEADILY FALLING Speculation as to Price of the
 Next Loan STOCK EXCHANGE MARIE LIN Predicted Rise In Bank of England Rate Had Little Effect in
 the Sluggish State
 of Things.
STOCK EXCHANGE MARIE Uh

I,ondon. November 3-Conditions on the Stock Exchange last week may fairly be described as moribund. Money was the dormant factor. The long predict ed rise in the Bank of England rate came just when many had ceased to expect 1t, but it had little effect in the sluggish state of trading.
 Consols continued to fall with a force of habit Any recurrence of the recent regrettable incidents in South Africa would be likely to bring them to 91 or lower It is interesting to consider upon what terms the government will be able to place the next loan, which is surely due before long. One expert has sug- gested sS for R20. 0.0OO.eO0. but the issue, when it comes, certainly will be for a much larger amount.
 In the meantime experts are trying to figure whether the rise in. the bank rate will check the flow of British gold to Paris The general impression is that, it will force New York to hquidate its own indebtedness to Paris, which is be- lieved to be enormous. by shipping American gold, Some dissent from this view, however maintaining that Wall street is concealing several trump cards which 1t will play when the game war rants. Chief among these Is the still unsolved Northern Pacific puzzle.

 Manchester, November 3.-Although last weeks market was a shade firmer, the turnover was disappointing, There was little increase in transactions at the end of the week, although the continued drain in cotton and the heavy movement generally influenced buyers to delay op- erations.
 Business in cloth was mainly in small lots for pressing requirements. Lack of confidence In existing prices was the chief cause of the prevailing lethargy; but the fact that many outlets beyond seas are well supplied with stock had also a depressing influence.
