BEAUMONT OIL FIELDS.
Mrs, Trench's Claim to one-half Tn-
 terest Recognized.
Imercial. Nov. 2.

New York Commercial. Nov. 25.
 The discovery of oil in the region of Beaumont, Tex, has resulted in the or- ganlzation of some 200 companies, which are engaged in boring for gushers in the field known to be fertile. This field seems to be confinel to an area of 200 or 300 acres in the vicinity of what Is known as Spindle Top region, so-called, from a high formation in the shape of spindle.
 About 100 gushers have been bored, and the work goes on with the expectation of locating many more The product of these wells is enormous. varying from less than 10000 to over loo, 900 barrels each per day. Stock of these companies Is quoted at prices varying from 1-2 cents per share to of $1 to over 70 cents.
 As is usual in such cases, the great discovery, covering a field estimated to be worth $20O 900. 900, Is leading to some liti- gation. Considerable agitation was creat- ed few days ago by two suits instituted in the United States Circuit Court of Texas, one brought by Mrs. Annie Som- erville Trench. formerly Mrs. Albert 'Somerville. who now resides in England, but was once resident of Galvestion, Tex; and the other by George w. How ell of Kentucky.
 Mrs. Trench's title is based on a re- gently discovered deeq made by a Mrs. III looO, conveying ONeE OIit-HdIl Ol the entire property to Albert Somerville, the plaintiffs former husband. This deed was inadvertently recorded in Houston, instead of at Beaumont. Howell claims a large fractional interest, over one-ninth, as a bona fide purchaser without notice of previous titles. The suits are said to involve some of the most intricate ques- tions of law ever raised in the courts of Texas.
 Mrs Trench is represented by her brother-in-law. Judge Henderson M. Som erWille, formerly Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama, assisted by J. H. Trembley of St. Louis and Messrs. Ewing and Ring and J. O. Davis of Houston, Tex. Judge Somerville declines to discuss the matter. A number of the largest companies have already made compromises, in which substantial con sessions have been made to both Mrs. Trench and Mir Howell

MAUvILLA AGAIN.

The Montgomery Advertiser takes The Ledger to task for saying that DeSoto went to MauvilIa and that Mobile is the descendant and heir of Mauvilla. At the same time The Advertiser admits that 1t is not certain of the exact location of Mauvilla That far, The Advertiser is correct. It does not know exactly, and nobody else knows exactly where the movable Indian town went in its wan derings up and down the river-Birmihg- ham Ledger.
 But The Advertiser said nothing about any movable Indian town,'' and does not admit that there was any. There were Mobilian Indians who had towns on the river for twenty-five or thirty miles above the present city. but we do not understand that they had any town bear ing the original name of Mauvila. The Ledger says:
 The Spanish records are rather vague It Is stated that they went five days from Coosa before they reached Mauvilla, and that they went five days northward from Mauvilla before they reached what is supposed to have been the Tombigbee River. That would indicate that Mau- villa was at least near where Mobile now is.
 The Ledger is correct in saying that 'the Spanish records are rather vague" We have studied them and studied the comments of others who have investi- gated the anabasis of DeSoto. and have never been able to see any authority for locating Mauvila south of Dallas County The Ledger has made quite an error in saying that they travelled five days from Coosa to Mauvilla. According to one of the Spanish accounts it was eight days and according to another 1t was nine or ten days from Coosa to Talisee, which, it is pretty we'll established, was at or near the present Tallassee. From that town to Mauvilla was five days, according to one writer and eight days according to another. From Mauvilla to Cabusto was four or five days. and that town is supposed to have been about where Erie. in Greene County now stands.
 Dr. A. S. Gatchet. one of the best in- formed men who has written on the sub iect, thinks the Mobilian Indians. who were found on Mobile Bay by the early white settlers. were descendants of the inhabitants of Mauvilla who, after their defeat by DeSoto, must have removed several hundred miles south of Tusca- loosa River" From all the information we have ever been able to get we can see no authority for locating the famous Indian town in Clarke County. And there is another error in this connection that is somewhat surprising and that is the popular belief that Mauvilla was situated on the Alabama River. We have seen no authority for supposing that 1t was either on or very near any river. But we are willing to admit, if The Ledger desires, that there were Mobile Indians at or about the site of the present city, and that they gave 1t the name it now bears.

And There are Others.
Florence Times.


 A study of the vote of ,Lauderrdale clearly shows that the county would have gone for the new Constitution with out the negro vote. The total negro vote of Lauderdale county is 1,500, and pret- ty full vote was boiled. A conservative estimate puts the negro vote of the city and county at not less than 1,200, which was solidly against ratification. The county gave a majority of 921 against ratification, and without the negro vote the white vote would have carried for ratification. Many white men who voted against the new Constitution did so be- cause they did not fully understand the measure and were afraid of it disfran- chising white men. When it is shown that the Constitution will not disfranchise a single white man most of this opposi- tion will cease. The people of Lauder dale, as a rule. are pleased with the new Constitution now that 1t is accepted, and will be more and more pleased when they begin to see the great results that it will bring about.

pAyMENr or POLL TAX.

| As we have predicted from the start, | voluntary payment of poll tax will seri- | ously affect the number Of votes cast | sn inc State. Already hundreds of citi- l zens have declared that a vote is not | worth the price required to be paid, and | what is true of one community is true Of | all.--Mobile Item.
 We are very 10th to believe that the white men of Alabama are so indifferent | to the inestimable right of suffrage, as | to voluntarily lose their right to vote in preference to paying the comparatively insignificant poll tax, and especially when the money all goes to the public schools.
 The Item has been so thoroughly opposed to the new Constitution that it might
 be expected to predict evil or failure in connection with 1t, and in this case we
 cannot believe that it prophecies cor rectly.
 This is a case where the highest duties of citizenship go hand in hand with the duty of advancing the cause of public education. We have a free school sys-
 tenn and that system must be kept up
 by the State. The tax collected from
 polls forms an important and vital
 feature of the system, for it is expected
 to supply a large portion of the money
 needed to keep the schools going. Those
 who voluntarily refuse to pay that tax
 place themselves in the position of enemies to education, and, whether they so intend it or not, proclaim to the world that they take no interest in public af- fairs and care not who is entrusted with
 the duty of making or executing the fuses to vote has no right to complain if we have bad laws or if we have in- efficient or corrupt officials. And we go further and declare that the man whq cares nothing for the right of suffrage and makes no attempt to exercise it has no right to complain if the law and those who execute the law refuse to protect
 his person and property.
 | Citizenship imposes obligations on all. No good citizen has a moral right to
 shirk his duty, and one of those duties is to go to the polls. If he does not
 care enough for his privilege to pay his poll tax in order that he may vote he should forbear to complain if bad men
 are elected or bad laws enacted. And
 if he is not sufficiently interested in the
 welfare of the rising generation to con tribute $1.50 to the school funds he ought never to get any of the advantages of the public schools.
 The annual payment of poll tax is a solemn duty and should be a pleasure

Tuskegee News.
 We note that Governor Johnston, Gen eral Shelley and others who met 1T Birmingham to protest against the ratl fication of the new Constitution. are care ful to say that they have no idea of for saking the Democratic party. However they went ahead preparing to organize a faction within the Democratic party for the express purpose. as they say. of get ting control of the machinery. Carefully reviewing the past political history of this country we recall that all of the factions which finally formed the Green packers. the Independents and the Popu- list parties started just as these gentle men are doing-protestng that they were Democrats. and that nothing could drive they out of their party-but they went out Most of those wanderers arc now back in the Democratic fold and their past experiences will not allow many of they to follow these politicians on an other wild goose chase.

Republican Tariff Zealots.

Kansas City Star.
 The tariff agitation set in motion by MT. McKiney's last speech has brought out the astonishing fact that certain Re- publicans regard protection as a perma- nent policy. Whenever the country has grown restive under the burden of tariff taxation protectionists have soothed t with the promise that the tariff was only a temporary measure. The Infant in- dustries'' must have help until they are grown. As soon as they can sustain themselves government aid will be with drawn. This was Garfields stock argu- ment. It was that of the founders of the policy of protection. Its logical progress was marked in MT. McKinley's Buffale speech. Is the Republican party to re- pudiate the teachings of the fathers? Are all its promises about the temporary character of protection to he frankly dis avowed? If the Republican party is to adopt protection as a permanent policy the country ought to know it.

 They were matinee girls evidently, or at least one of them was, and they were discussing the new play of an actor whose statuesque proportions have been generously revealed in the part We have grown used to see him in. Did you like the piay?" asked the girl in brown.
 Tt was simply grand" replied the girl in blue. Didn't you go?"
 No, said the other Somebody told me it was modern play and that he wore high boots and riding brooches. What did he wear?'
 Somebody told you wrong" said the girl in blue. He didn't wear boots at 3'L He was just too lovely for words. He wore-well they were just the same only another color"
 The girl in brown looked regretfuI.
 Tt must have been fine play" she said.

Outlets for Any Amount.

New York Evening Post.
 The piling up of a surplus in the treas ury Is perhaps the greatest menace to American institutions today It offers a temptation to all the greedy and un- scrupulous characters in the nation to bring forward plans for disbursing it through channels which they control. River and harbor and slack-water navi- gation schemes are multiplying beyond precedent Battleships end big guns are looming up in astounding number and size. We shall presently have proposals for new pensions and additions to old ones. The amount in the treasury can never be so large that there will not be found sufficient outlets fo" It.

 Rev. Dr. Joseph Dombrowski is the rector of the only Polish theological sen- mary in America, located at Detroit. He was born in Warsaw, studied at the uni- versity of that city and took part in the revolution of 1862.
 Captain Ernest Goldschmidt. who was recently mentioned in The Gazette as deserving of praise for distinguished service in the South African war, Is a son of Jenny Lind, the once famous vo- calist. He belongs to a Welsh regiment.
 At the general missionary convention of the Methodist Episcopal denomination in Pittsburg Bishop James N. Fitzgerald of St. Louis incurred the displeasure of his fellow delegates because of his de- vction to chess. The bishop is very fond of and an expert at the game named, and no complaint regarding his fad ever reached him before.

Will Disfranchise Themselves.

Enterprise Enterprise.
 Thousands of men are pretty sure to disfranchise themselves by failure to pay their poll tax the first of February in each year. They will have to be re- minded of that poll tax quite often be- tween now and the first of January and February of each year to make them step up and pay the captain. The negro the man who goes from place to place without steady employment is dead sure to be caught. But he is caught under another clause in the Constitution so it doesn't make much difference whether he pays his poll tax or not.
