From the Union Springs Herald.
 The grandfather clause in lthe proposed suffrage article for the new constitution is something which will reflect no credit on Alabama if embodied in the new or ganic law. Without question that meas- ure is unconstitutional under the consti- tuition of the United States, and 1t will appear so to every reasonable person who reads the constitution of his country. Such things are only submitted for em- bodment in constitutions for the South ern States by those who allow prejudice to assert itself above reason. There are some who favor it because they have seen it stand up to now in the constitutions of two or three other Southern States, and believe 1t will be allowed to continue in tact, and eliminate the negro. Such will not be. When a sufficient number of Southern States have adopted that thing, and the Republican party, while in power reduces the representation in Congress of the South to its hearts content, then the Supreme Court will be called upon to de- clare such provision unconstitutional. Then what will the poor South do? It will reflect no credit upon Alabama to embrace that "granddaddy" clause in her constitution. It may work for a while it may work for a few years, but in the end Alabama would go on record as having

The Police and Shade Trees.


 Probably every other shade tree in Bir- mingham has been permanently injured by being made use of as hitchng-post for horses, and this vandalism goes on ev- cry day under the eyes of the police and in defiance of a plain law forbidding it." said a man who values trees more than he does the convenience of men who try to destroy them.
 Montgomery is more fortunate than Birmingham in having the law for the protection of shade trees enforced. This week the leading dry goods merchant of that city was arrested, and there was a case docketed against him on the police register charging him with violating the city ordinance prohibiting the tying of horses to the trees within the city limits ''The police of Montgomery are certain ly no resoecters of mere socal station. But in Birmingham even negro rag picker may hitch his blind mule to the most beautiful tree in the city and there is nobody to even ask him not to do so."

 A southerner With Soft Accent.
 "An unknown Southern 'aristocrat' who has been going by the name of J. Wade Hampton itself a suspicious circum- stance, but whose real name is believed to be plain Tom Dunn, and who told of wealth in the South and cut a wide swath' in the society of the fashionable Dorchester district of aristocratic Boston, is now under arrest for swindling," said Birmingham man who has been East
 "This Fascinating young man with the soft Southern accent was arrested last Sunday on a charge of obtaining jewelry under false pretenses, and was held In s6O0 ball. Last January J. Wade Hamp- ton married a Dorchester girl, 20 years old, the daughter of a banker. Monday she learned that her husband had been arrested on a charge of swindling and that his real name was not Hampton It was staggering blow for the young wife, as we'll as for her parents, who are very we'll known in Dorchester society.
 "The whole family had had implicit confidence in the handsome and dashing son-in-law, who had regaled them with such charming fairy tales about his great wealth in the South, his cotton plantations and his mines. Even the hard-headed banker, the father-in-law, was very favorably impressed with the young man and his prospects.
 And so, when the couple were clan ,IoI aef yipfa hU J. J. Dunlop, pastor of the Roxbury Presbyterian church, all was imme- diately forgiven, and John Wade Hamp- ton went to live with his wife's folks. During the honeymoon he seemed to be getting very nervous and distracted. Something was evidently weighing on his mind, and he was often under the in- f1uence of liquor.
 Finally he started off on a business trip to look after his property. Days went by and no word came from him. At last his wife's father appealed to the Bos- ton police, and Captain Dugan detailed 1n- spector Burke to find the missing man. The inspector learned that Hampton had been having a convivial time about town with room at a hotel He had pawned tewelry belonging to a Worcester firm, and this led to his arrest as told in the papers the next morning"

From the Marion County News.
 The convention seems ito pay marked at tention to all it's pledges save the one that it would take no backward step in re- gard to public education. This the mem- bers appear to have overlooked.
 In regard ito the grandfather clause of the franchise ordinance, we have looked in vain for an indorsement from the State press. It is condemned in no unmeasured terms by the leading press of the State, and even some of the leading business men have felt it to be a duty to enter their earnest protest against this grand father clause.

THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE

From the Selma Times.
 The people of Dallas county cheerfully voted for a new Constitution and a new court house. And now they would more cheerfully vote against both propositions seeing that both will likely be cut bias. From the Roanoke Leader.
 The members of the suffrage committee probably divided on the grandfather" clause just as they used to do when boys in playing "club fist" When the ques- tion was asked, Take 1t off or knock it off?" four of the committee jerked off their fists and refused to sign the report The remaining twenty propose that the Supreme Court shall knock theirs off-if it can.
