Governor Jelks Sustained.
Birmingham Age-Herald.

Birmingham Age-Herald.
 The press of the State has freely dis cussed the incidents connected with the Jim Brown case, and every paper in the State that has expressed an opinion at all has sustained and approved Governor ways excepting The Fort Payne Journal. If any other dissent has gone into print it has escaped the eyes of The Age-Her- aids exchange reader. It Is plain that public sentiment overwhelmingly sustains Governor Jelks in his brave and uniinch- ing efforts to put an end to lynchlhg Tn this State. We cannot forbear quotlhs the comment of The Russell Register:
 "GoVernor Jelks is eminentlv on the right line. When the sherins or Aiapaula become impressed with the fact that the Governor of the State will stand 10 mem and protect them in the discharge or their duty, we will find that there will be much less hesitancy on their part to dlscharge duties. for the doing of which they may for season incur unjust criticisms: The Governor well says that If he should Iali to respond when such a call IS maue upon him it would be notice to the sheriHs that the Governor of the state was pre- pared to desert them in their troubles
 And he concludes with the unequlvocal and manly declaration, l WILL not Issue any such notice
 That's right. Governor, ana the law abiding, the best citizens or Ine entIre State will stand to you to man. Law and order must rule in our fair state or we shall retrograde instead or progress The great mass of the people are TOT iaW and order, and the puerile attempts or the Fort Payne paper to carry the matter to the polls is a swagger or the most pronounced type.

Virginia English.
Sheffield Req

The Montgomery Advertiser has been poking fun at The Norfolk (Va) Land mark for giving "oo' in broom the sound of "oo' in brook, and suggests that 1t is according to the New England mode of pronunciation. The Advertiser is in error. Virginia supplies more methods-in fact, all-of pronunciation than any other State-from the purest and most correct to the worst mutilations of pronuncia- tions. As we have slight acquaintance with the New England dialectics from our paternity we can bear testimony that 100" in broom is given the same sound as in room, though we have heard broom" pronounced in rhyme with
 'rrook." a pronunciation IS dstilctiyely Afro-American as flo and do for floor and door sometimes but not now so of ten as formerly, used by the whites in some sections of Alabama. Kentucky and Virginia. The peculiarities of pronunci- ation are as extensive and varied as the country. and the differences are occas- toned by causes entirely local. The Land mark is probably enjoying fun at the ex- pcnse of some of Norfolk's best modern educated, for the modern mode of pro nuncistion is of rapid transit order and buries the old Photographers under a mountain of superfluity and fogyism. The Yankee pronounces root" in musical rhmye with brook but he'll never rhyme broom with other than groom. He'll be doomed if he does. Pronuncia- tion Is an acquired habit, from long con- tact with people of any particular sec ton or clan, and one possesses no ad- vantage over the other in their misunder- standable targon.

THAT SCHOOL BOARD.

Referring to a statement in The Adver- tiser some days ago about North Carolina school board including John Brown in the list of great men whose lives and exploits should be part or the teaching in the public schools. The Rich mond Dispatch says:
 The Dispatch does not know the facts in this case, but if any crank of teacher has been guilty of the offence mentioned, we are sure public sentiment will compel him, or her. to adopt another course now. ''The civil war" so-called, was largely of John Browns making, and North Caro- lima lost by it too much of precious blood and treasure to have any patience with those who hold that Brown was patriot of the class of Washington and Lee-or. for the matter of that, of any other class.
 We have not seen or heard anything more of the matter ,and do not know whether that school board was really guilty of the Insult to the Southern people or not.sbut if the charge made is true, it is the duty of the parents and patrons of the school to see that no such teaching shall be allowed. The line should he drawn at some place and we know of no better place to draw 1t than at John Brown. A good deal of latitude has been allowed in the matter of school books in the South, and a great deal of carclessness can properly be charged against parents for failure to know just what Is being taught their children. but when our young folks are to be taught that a common murderer. stands on a level with Washington, Lee and others of our Southern patriots, it is high time that little blue pencilling was used.

Picketing by strikers is illegal in the opinion and under the orders of Judge Kohlsaat. of Chicago. as it ought to be everywhere else. To hold that the strikers have the right to surround the works of any corporation with sentries, in order to prevent other men from going to work. is a most extreme view to take of the question. An employe has the right to quit work. if he does not violate a contract. and another man has a right to take the vacant place. That is the whole truth about 1t.

A BUSY AND THRIVING CITY.

Columbus, Ga.. is among the greatest manufacturing cities of the South. The mighty Chattahoochie, whose waters its descent power almost without limit. Beginning at the city itself the shoals extend up the river for miles and each shoal has in it the potentiality of a coal mine or a vast herd of horses. It is a power which is unceasing. untiring and practically inexhaustible.
 The people of Columbus have taken advantage of the vast water power at their elbow and have turned 1t to good account as the many mills and factories show. It is becoming a city of factories and mills and more are to come. We note that the property of the old Clapp factory is to be again utilized.' Years ago-so many that only the old people remember it-Clapp's Factory was one of l the few cotton mills in the South. | Situated two or three miles above Colum- bus. and on the Georgia side of the Chat | tahoochie, it was thoroughly a country l factory, but thousands and millions of yards of cloth and thousands of tons of factory thread were turned out there when cotton mills in the South were almost unknown. Since the war the old factory went to decay and ruin and it's machinery was sold as junk. The build- ings have routed away and the once noisy and bustling village is practically deesrted.
 All this is to be changed. as we learn from the Columbus papers. Arrange ments have been made with the Chatta- hoochie Falls Manufacturing Company which owns the Clapp Factory property. to utilize and develop the vast power of the river at that point as has never | been done heretofore. Experts estimate that there is at least 14,00O horsepower available at the lowest stage of the river, | and, as the company owns land also on the Alabama side, it can also build up factories there where there was a four ishlng grist and saw mill many years ago, and it may be that both sides of the river will be harnessed.
 | It is not intended that the manufacture ing enterprises contemplated by this
 company shall be confined to any one
 industry. Among other things 1t is not
 impossible that big car works plant
 may be established, together with suci
 other works as may be thought desirable
 The company has immense resources anc
 backing. and it is hard to estimate ol
 predict any limit to its enterprise ant 1 activity. It will be another mighty factor in the upbuilding of one of Mont
 gomery's most progressive neighbors, ana
 both Alabama and Georgia are interested in the rise and progress of Columbus.

NOT WELL POSTED.

It occurs to The Advertiser that The New Orleans States is not fully and &C., curately posted on Alabama politics and politicians. Discussing the primary cleo ton bluff of the antis. The States says:
 It appears that there are a considerable number of them who are against the rati- fication of the constitution, but are un- willing to defeat it by the aid of colored votes or even the votes of white Republi- cans but desire that the issue shall be made and settled inside the Democratic Party. Therefore, they have proposed that a preliminary primary election be held, for white men only. to vote on the question. If the result of the election shows that a majority are against the constitution then no further attempt to ratify it shall be made, but if major ity favor it, then its opponents in the Democratic Party will cease their pppo- sition and the Party as a whole vote for 1t when 1t is submitted to the people.
 If The States knew the political ante cedents of Shelley, Johnston and Stall ings. it would not credit either of them with desire to carry an election with out the aid of the negro votes. They are all pastmasters in the art of manipu- lating that class of voters. and neither of them would feel any hesitancy about using the negro, if anything is to be gained.
 The proposition to Mir. Underwood was bluff, pure and simple. General Shelley is an astute politician, thoroughly ac quainted with all the laws and usages o the Party. As such he knew that Mir Underwood could not accept the proposi tion or bind the friends of ratification tC accept it or be governed by it. Th' General also knew that he had no power to bind the Republicans to his proposition or to make them abide the result. AnC he knew. too. the apathy usually dis
 played by Democrats in the matter O 1 primaries, and based his hopes of success on the belief that friends of the Consti tuition would not vote, while he could so organize the antis as to get them al to vote. When 1t comes to politics, Shel 1 ley Is no fool. suspicious as his proposi- l tion to Underwood may seem.

GETTING FUNNY.


 The Norfolk Landmark Is disposed to get funny over The Advertisers criti- cisms of the English plan to suppress potato bugs. AlIuding to the statute inn posing a fine of $50 on any man who finds bug lying around loose and fails to report the discovery to an official, The Landmark says:
 with more statesmanliket and scien- tific method of removing a curse from a community We all know how success full and joyful the American police would be in the pursuit of the potatobugs if they were authorized by law to engage in that sport. We should have but one addition to make to the English statute if it were adopted in the suffering States of this Union. We should attach rider imposing a fine of $1O0 upon the citizen if, after the police had been told of the existence of 8 bug, the detective sent to the spot to dispose of the bugs existence found no bug there at all A salutary enactment of that sort would discourage the reprehensible practice of lying. We are not sure that the English scheme is not superior to the toad remedy. A toad gets full sometimes and has to stop; but a policeman, if he is any man at all, goes right on.
 The Landmarks amendment to the English law would make the whole thing decidedly interesting for the ignorant countryman. Under our contemporary pan the man who finds bug will not know whether 1t is safe to report it or not If he fails to do so he lays himself liable to be fined, and if he reports 1t and it turns out to be something else than a potato-bug, The Landmark would double the penalty. Under such condi- tons the yokel's only safe plan would be to bury the bug and say nothing more about 1t. That would be his best scheme.
