and high standing in the state give his
friends here every encouragement to be-
lieve that he will be nominated. Owing
to his candidacy and the earnest desire
on the part of every one to promote 1t in

discussion of the governorphip and
comparatively little interest has been
taken in the canvass for that nomina-

it Is { pounds, and in Mississippi 8 pounds. and ia -exaE pounds, is not explained. The reported figures are doubtless incorrect The average weight of fleeces throughout the coun- try is this year 6.61 pounds. If the reported figures are correct the sheep Of Alabama were more thinly clad this year than those of any other State.
 The number of sheep in the country is put at 42,79O,OSS, the highest total since 1894. The wool clip of the pres ent year foots up 921,1S9,52S pounds. This is the largest clip in the history of the country. It was approximated in 1893, when the clip stood at S09,- 100000 pounds. There were more sheep in the country in few previous years, but the sheep of those years were not as productive. The indica- tions now are that the number of sheep will soon reach record-breaking figures, with a corresponding rise in the wool clip.

An Antiquated Town.

up to q year ago Raunds in England was fiourishing town of the old fashion sort, but since then it has been languish- ing and the cause of the change furnishes an interesting lesson in industrial econ who happens to be sojourning temporar- fly in, Birmingham.
 "Raunds was noted for it's shoe-making industry Thousands of shoemakers found steady employment there, and, singular to relate, no machine was allowed in any of the shops. Every shoemaker worked in the old-time way. He prided himself on sewn boots and shoes, The Raunds work men decided. years and years ago, that labor-saving machinery was an evil be- cause 1t threw many worthy mechanics out of employment. They argued just as mechanics and common laborers con tended in other English towns and in the United States forty years ago when labor-savin machinery began to be intro duced. The labor-saving machine. wage earners said, was going to be tho ruin of mechanics. But every man who took q pessimistic view years ago r-S% laughs at his predictions. Everybody, es- peoially the mechanic, recognizes labor saving machinery as one of the greatest blessings of civilizations that is, every body except the shoemallers of Raunds.
 What gave these old timers pause and brought them serious loss is the fact that the British government awarded con tracts to the Raunds proprietors for large quantities of shoes for .the army in South Africa; but 1t was stipulated that the work must be done in a hurry. This was out of the question. as Raunds did only hand work. and did it slowly, The gov ernment was forced to transfer its or- ders to another town, where modern shoe making machinery was used. The results were Raunds was advertised as an anti auated place,sand it's industrial mainstay began at on< to decline. The lesson may do these old-fashion shoemakers good, for it is certain to bring them to their senses and cause them to accept the methods that have come to stay and that have

AS OTHERS SEE US.

From the Buenos Ayres Herald
 We are not among those who think that the United States proposes to act the part of Don Quixote among nations. and will seek the glory of others without re- gard to self-interests. In the course of time it's borders may be extended still farther South, but the limits of all pos sible good or sensible ambition would be the Isthmus of Panama. America will watch European complications on the American continent and will protect its interests, but so far as American coun- tries live in peace or under such condi- tions as will not threaten complications with Europe the United States will not interfere, except to try and consolidate the American family of nations.

Cur National Shortcoming.

A Western Senator recently drew from a diplomat in Washington a few pertinent remarks that contain so much truth to the line-are, in fact, the truth through and through--that We cannot refrain from republishing them. He said;
 "You are a great nation but you have disappointed the world in many respects. All other countries freed their slaves without serious strife; Russia manumitt- ed 2O.0O0,0OO serfs by an imperial decree, and then took steps to see that they all were secured in possession of their land Yet the United States nearly destroyed itself with civil war over the slavery question. You have sneered at other gov- ernments for their heavy military bur dens though the standing armies abroad have been immense national schools to change beat-backed peasants into up- standing, intelligent freemen. At the same time you have saddled yourselves with a much greater burden in a huge
 
 though the war on which it is based was nearly 70 years ago. You have the only government which has lost three rul- CTS in less than 40 years by assassination You are the only nation whose highest court has for 20 years been undermining the fundamental charter of the govern ment by vacillatng, conflicting and diver gent opinions. Commercially. industrial ly and intellectually you retrograde
 The grandiloquence of the Western Senator elicited the naked truth. There is not a single line in the i'm peachment that should be changed. It is the truth, and it will do this coun. try good to take it homo and heed it. It is never hurtful to see ourselves as others see us.

 Coming back to the Alabama offices, there will be no developments In that di- rection until after the reassemblins Of Congress. The charges, whatever their nature, filed against the confirmation of United States District Attorney Warren 5. Reese and United States Marshal Le- ander J. Bryan of Montgomery are no, taken seriously here; that is to say, no- body here doubts that those two officers will be confirmed by the Senate.

Three Marriage Ceremonies.

'"The New York Worlds correspondent was doubtless astray in his account of the marriage of Chauncey Depew and Miss May Palmer which took place or will take place In France" said a Catholic laymen last night.
 According to an Associated Press dis patch under New York date giving the substance of a cable from Nice to the World three marriage ceremonies were to be performed-one civil and two reli- gious The first religious ceren ony. 1t was stated, would take place in the Cath ollie church of Notre Dame and the sec- ond would follow in the American Epis- copal church.
 'rThe bride is a Catholic and Mir. Depew is a protestant. The Catholic Church does not recognize any one as a Catholic who is married by a non-Catholic clergyman.
 "Mr Depew was reared in the Congre- fational denomination, I understand, but in recent years he has been attending the Episcopal church along with his friends, the Vanderbilts He may have been ig norant of Catholic law and arranged for an Episcopal wedding. but unless mat ters are much confused at Nice the Epis- copal service will be cancelled, if indeed it was ever intended that 1t should take place One might imagine that the groom would consider himself thoroughly mar ried after one civil and one religious cer- emonv."

SAVING THE FAMILY NAME.

From the Springfield Republican.
 George, F. w. and w. K. Vanderbilt have paid in $5Oe,OOO to settle with the de- postors of the Metropolitan Bank of Tacoma, Wash, in order to keep unsul- lied the business honor of the Wander bilts. It appears that the bank was start ed and managed by two cousins of theirs, who gained public confidence because of their blood relation with the wealthy branch of the Vanderbilt family, Neither George. nor Frederick. nor William K. were responsible for the banks manage ment although George Vanderbilt was a stockholder at one time because of his desire to help his relative. The institu- tion recently failed, and simply to save the family pame they have advanced the money required to pay the 1epositors.

Number of Sheep.

A recent table states that Alabama has l61,312 sheep. as against 16O, ,632 it the close of the year 1900. The gain is comforting. We have not many sheep. comparatively speaking, but the gain is proof that tho inoffensivc sheen will not become lost species in this State. There are thirty sheep in Mon. tana where there is one in Alabama, whereas there should be thirty sheep In Alabama to ono in frigid, blizzard swept Montana.
 But while the number of sheep was Increased this year, yet the wool clip of the year was not. This years clip Is put at 451,673 pounds as against s42,52s pounds last year. Evidently ihere is something out of kiitcr either h this years sheep or in the figures for this year. Why the average weight ,f fleece should this year be but 2.S pounds in Alabama. while in Georgia
