NO MORE CANNED CRABS.
Only Man Who Knew How to Cal

DGhISaGy DSp
Has Gone
James McMenamin, the only success
full canner OF crab meat in the world,
has just died in the hospital at Balti-
more. and il Is feared that his secret
has died with him. He Is believed to
have made 81, 000, 900 Out of crab can
ming by running a large cannery at
Hampton, Va, for six months in the
year but he kept the process hidden
even from his workpeople, and, unless
his will divulges it or he confided the
secret to his sons before his death the
canning plant will have to be shut
down, and nobody may ever know why
its proprietor aver succeeded where 9TH
ers failed, says the New York Sun.
Mr.. McMenamin went to Virginia
from Massachusetts in 1878. While
working as a clerk for Mayor White
head OF Norfolk it came out that he
knew how crab meat could be canned
without losing its favor, and Mayor
Whitehead helped him to establish a
small cannery at Hampton. In time
the small cannery was replaced with a
bigger one, but never has the big one
been able to meet all the demands upon
it for canned crab meat.
During the six months or the year
when the cannery was open the pro-
prietor was the busiest man in it. A
large force of colored women picked
| the meat from the crabs. 1t was sent
to a locked room, in which Mr.. Nc
Menamin personally attended to its
! preparation. Then it was sealed in the
cans.
Last year the demand for canned
crab meat was unprecedented, and the
man with the secret, when he died, was
wondering how he could increase the
output for this year.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

An "Old Timer" writes to The GreenS- boro VVatchman as follows;
 We witnessed an incident last Tuesday that carried us back to the good old an.e- bellum days of the long ago. After snending a most pleasant day al pr Ciew,n's. the Doctor and his good Wite suggested that we take snort sIr'ii and view the beautiful sight that re- minded us of those days. Ihe Doc|'l has nine large, fine hogs to siaS .iae ,z,iU he worth $2O0 at the present pr!ce of meat and lard. He has large helu oF aourishing wheat that made us think of those good old times when our dear forefathers never tired of expauatlhs unon and exhibiting to their relatives and neighbors these evidences ol plos- | perity. Our heart swelled wlth Joy 'o know that the Doctor had come to the conclusion to follow the example Of our nohIa ancestry that has long side entered | into their reward. We sincerely nope thai others in our community will iml- l tate the example of pr. Gewin and req lize that home production adds much 10 l the health, happiness and comfort or the | family circle.
 pr. Gewin is a resident of Hale County and Hale County is largely in the very heart of the Black Belt. where it is pop u,ariv supposed that nothing except cot ton-seed will sprout or grow. It IS pos
 sible that there are others In that sec
 tton who are following the Doctors plah'
 hut whether they are or are not he IS
 giving them a good example. We sup
 nose he has plenty of corn or he would
 not be likely to have so many fat hogs
 hut at all events he will not have to nav fifteen to eighteen cents for meat and lard, and unless some disaster oVer'aNe9 his wheat crop he will not find 1t neceS- sarv to send his wagons to town aite'
 something to make battercakes and bis
 cults of. But it is useless tp comment at
 length on this letter, for it is lesson | of itself

 p,,t The Advertiser is not jealous even a little bit. We confidently expect that Pensacola will one day be an Alabama seanort. and we want that city to get all that is coming to her. There may be oil ,,,,,,,, under the waters of that beautiful ,,av and there may be something else ,,a1uahIe and desirable.

part of which would find its way to that city by rail, via Montgomery. That Montgomery would be benefited directly by the money expended on the Coosa is beyond doubt, but the benefits would not all fall to our city.
 We regret to say that some of our con- temporaries are either envious or jeal- ous of The Advertiser, and are too ready to take offense where there is no cause for 1t. They can fight the politics or policies of this paper as much as they like for it is amply able to take care or itself in any discussion or controversy, but they ought not to do us the injustice of thinking or insinuating that we are fighting other places because we stand up for Alabama and Montgomery and are always ready to hit back for either or them.

wHAr NULL HE noP

We have seen it very poin.t tedly inti- mated that if the President sides with the majority of the court of inquiry in it's virtual condemnation of Admiral schley he is laying a train which will blow up both himself and his party, and the suggestion is not in the least unreas- onable. The temper of the American peo- pie has been so plainly manifested dur ing the past few weeks that he must be a very dull man who fails to understand it. They are with Schley and against those who have censured and humiliated him. They regard him as the real hero of Santiago, and the action of the court has confirmed them in that opinion, and tbey will not sustain the administration if 1t joins in the verdict that minimizes schley's part in the destruction of Ger yera's fleet. If there were a Presidential election now and the United Democracy should nominate Schley we believe the ticket would sweep the country. We do not claim that he would be the proper man for the nomination, or that condi-
 tions may not change before the next campaign opens, but we really believe that in the present temper of the coun' trv such a ticket would create as much ronular enthusiasm as did that of Taylor ar William H, Harrison. The President
 is in a ticklish place and it now looks as if he will side with the enemies oi Schley.

Remarkable Development of Educa-

In a lecture before the Graduate Cinh of the University of Pennsylvania last week. Professor M. G.

Brumbaugh was given leave ot absence from the nl- versity of Pennsylvania to assume the office of Cummssi Jner, no one could fore see the tremendous task that was await ing the Commission. The Commission found 945 900 people on the island, of whom SS Ter cent were illiterate. ana the conditions which confronted the mili- talY government were almost hopeless. An idea of the enormous amount ut work which Dr. BrumbIugh's Commission did cau he obtained from the following sum

PAY YOUR POLL TAX.

Rut little over one month now remains for citizens within the poll-tax limit to nrepare themselves for one of the highest and most responsible duties of citizen shin. and The Advertiser again begs It's readers not to voluntarily debar them selves of this privilege. or to wrong the children of Alabama by failing or refus- ing to contribute this insignificant sum to the csuse of popular education insignificant to each individual. but a very material sum altogether. The pay ment of the poll-tax is duty of citi- Eenship and a solemn duty to the cause of education.
 Would it not be a good plan for the Democratic committees of all the coun- ties to take official cognizance of this matter and keep before Democrats the necessity of preparing themselves to per form the duties of voters? It is not { party question but these committees car speak with authority and doubtless witt good effect.

The act of MT. Root and MT. Long, and their censure of General Miles be- cause he agreed with Dewey in the Schley matter need cause no surprise, and will not surprise any man who has kept up with current events. It only ac- centuates what has been patent all along to those who have kept up with the course of events. It has been plain to all observers that the government, espe- cially the navy department, was deter mined to condemn and humiliate the hero Sf Santiago. The finding of a majority of the court was an evidence of that lact and Root and Long have merely confirmed the general opinion. We can lot say that we are especially stuck on General Miles, but that he should be pointedly reprimanded by the Govern ment becaues he tacitly expressed his disapproval of the injustice to Schley will secure for him degree of sympathy and commendation from the American people which he would not otherwise re- ceive. In this case the reprimand of his superiors is really a credit to him.

The Hartford (Conn.) Times thinks Ad- miral Dewey, by trying to please both sides, missed the opportunity of his life, He evidently sides with Schley, but did not care to show it to the extent of re- fusing to sign the majority report, and has thus placed himself in the position of trying to agree with both sides. The Times agrees that he should have re- fused to sign the majority report and should have given out a minority report embodying his real sentiments, as those sentiments seem to be plainly indicated by what he said. There is much force in this view and no doubt such course would have been more in accordance with his real sentiments and more agree able to the country.
