About Hand BAGS

The fetching wrist bags displayed in

Wrist bags fitted with shirred p0ck-

nicely in place and do not make it nee

might walk for some hundreds of miles under the long arches of green. And as the trees are beautiful in these May days, so also is Washington wondrous fair and lovely. The sunlight here at this peroid is dazzlingly brilliant, yet sooth- ingly cool, and all the town seems at cer- tain hours to be out of doors. The re- suit is that the clean bright streets down town and little parks with their abundant wealth of flowers are at times greatly crowded. Visitors here now are compara- lively few and the families of Congress- men and other public men are rapidly departing. This gives the resident popula- ton renewed possession of it's own, and so the Washingtonians seem never so bright, happy and jolly as they seem now. Washington is a wonderful study in the happiness of the multitude and the joys of clean and well regulated metropolitan city.
 So if you would see this splendid capital of the nation at its brightest, best and most beautiful, hie yourself hither ere May be spent.

camp, but there is an air of probabil- ity in them that leads not a few to think the ticket in 1904 may be Parker and Bailey. It should be re- membered that Judge Parker carried New York in 1894, and that no Dem ocrat has since carried it. But what is wanted is man who can show that he can now carry his own state, and if Judge Parker desires to be- come the Presidential nominee of his party in 1904, he should face the mus ic and first become the nominee of his party for Governor this fall. If he can carry his own state this fall he will have a walkover to the greater nomination in 1904. The Democratic party is not looking this time for gold bricks. MT. German has shown that he can carry his own state, and Judge Parker should do likewise or else draw out of the Presidential race. This applies as well to David B. Hill. No one will be, or rather should be, made the nomineee in 1904 unless he can carry his own state. Thus far MT. German is the only man in the Presidential class who has demonstrated his popularity in his own state. <

Carrie BrideWelI.

From all reports Miss Carrie Bridewell had a. grand ovation at the Sangerfest at Houst on, Tex. A music lover who at tended the festival declared he had never heard such a rich voice on any concert stage in the south as Miss Bridewell g.. "The Germans" he said, went wild over this artist, and when she sang Die Wachtam Rhein' the applause was thun- derous and prolonged. Not only did Miss Bridewell deliver the national song of the Fatherland with wonderful spirit, but her German was perfect. Every German I met told me that not many Americans could pronounce the words of this stir ring piece so beautifully as Miss Bride- we'll"
 This young woman's triumph at Hous- ton brought her concert propositions from San Antonio and other southern cities, and fattering offer to sing in the Sangerfest at Peoria, III, June and s. She has accepted the latter.
 Miss BrideWell sang in Anniston Fri day night.

Bishop Wilson.

.'It may be set down as almost rule that bishops of the South Methodist church are at once good business men and great preachers said a well known layman.
 "The Methodist church has produced many pulpit giants but in my opinion Bishop A. w. Wilson of Baltimore. who opened general conference last Wednes- day, is head and shoulders above all the others now living. He is the only man l ever listened to who could preach a pro- found sermon of unusual length to a plain congregation and hold every per son spell bound. I have heard Bishop Wilson often. His discourses were al- ways metaphysical but when he had fin- ished the congregation seemed sorry that he did not keep on. The bishop is a man of splendid intellect and scholarship but above all he is master of the homi- letic art''

ANTICIPATE NO TROUBLE.
Railway Official Speaks of Situation
 In Coal Field.

Knoxville, May 10.-An official of the Louisville and Nashville railroad gave out this statement today says a special from Jellico, Tenn, to the Sentinel:
 .We do not anticipate any personal conflicts between our employees and those of the Southern Railroad, and we will not permit 1t. President Samuel Spencer of the Southern and President Milton H. Smith of the Louisville and Nashville would not countenance any action on the part of their officials and employees that would result in personal injuries or to loss of anyone for the sake of securing control of this valley. Again the state authorities would not permit of such, and should there be a clash the military would be hurried to the scene to quell 1t. The Louisville and Nashville has 400 la borers building it's road from Tackert Creek up the valley to the "Dead Line'' agreed upon yesterday.
 The Southerns wagon train from Mid dlesboro is believed to be on the South ern's side of the Dead Line" preparing for some action a

Destruction of St. Pierre.

Until full accounts are received it Is impossible to say just how the city and port of St. Pierre, Martinique, was destroyed. The volcano, Morne Pelee, the -only~one on the island, had been inactive fifty-one years. Twelve miles and many hills intervene be- tween the volcano and St. Pierre. So far as can be judged at present an unprecedented shower of volcanic ashes, fire and mud came from Pelee and fell on hapless St. Pierre and the adjoining parishes. As the attraction of gravitation is still in operation in understand how heavy matter could have been carried twelve miles, no matter how high 1t had been thrown by subterranean forces. Altogether the fearful disaster is at present in- applicable.
 The. island contains but 3S1 square miles, or about as much as the av- craze county in Alabama, Walker county, for example. It lies not far from South America, and St. Pierre is on the west or Caribbean side of the island. The population is dense, as can be readily imagined if 1S5,O0O people were placed in Walker coun- ty. Only about 5 per cent of this pop ulation consists of whites. The rest are of all shades of color and degrees of mixed blood. The products of the island are sugar, rum and coffee, and the people are indolent and unenter- prising. France owns the island, and slavery was abolished in 1848.

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT ALABAMA FARMS,
 MANUFACTURES AND POLITICAL SENTIMENT

mills have been built in Alabama in the past year. There are cotton mills in al- most every town; and in my recent tour iery mills all built within the past two years, and all in active operation. There is a mill in Talladega making 150 dozen pairs of women's stockings daily, and one in Sylacauga making over 100 dozen pairs of mems socks daily. There are dye plants in connection with the knitting mills and the goods are turned out con- plete for the merchant.
 There are innumerable woodworking plants and iron-worling concerns scat tered all about the state, and at the rate Alabama is now progressing it promises to become in a few years one of the first manufacturing states in the Union.
 I have likewise heard a bit of politics talked in many of the counties of the state. To my surprise found the peo- pie fin the Black Belt counties almost unanimous in favor of a general Demo- cratic state primary as well as county primaries. In North Alabama and East
  whelmingly in favor of primaries. h. deed, I should say that 19 out of 20 men I met in the different sections of Alabama are in favor of general Democratic pri- mary for the selection of all officers, whether they be state, county or muni- cipal The twentieth man, however, favors state convention, and this ''twen- tieth man" Is usually more active in poli- tics than all the other nineteen combined. He usually wants an office, or else he has some intimate friend who wants one, or who already has one. to which he de- sires a reelection.
 In this twentieth man" coterie, find the sentiment in favor of a state conven- tion next time, and primaries thereafter. In other words, the good old political manipulators of Alabama want one more chance to trade about and effect an or ganization which would be lasting even with primaries thereafter. They are bit timid about what their influence would be if all the people could act.
 As a matter of fact. primaries would deprive many convention manipulators of

The World a Baby.

How little we know! What babies we are!! And Lord Kelvin, who is in this country, and who is perhaps the worlds greatest scientist, openly acknowledges that after all his stud ies he is as ignorant as the rest of ~w
 He says he thinks the world is 27,- 000,000 years old, but he is not sure it is not a hundred millions. The dis crepancy between his vague belief and his still yaguer possibility is very wide, 1t will be noticed. And the age | aand history of our abiding place is no moro a mystery to us than are the forces that we handle every day. Lord Kelvin openly admits that he does not know what electricity is. We are nourished by the fruits of the earth, and yet the chemistry which turns dirt into those fruits we understand just about as well as does a subject of King Leopold in the depths of the Congo Free State. We have found the elusive disease germ, but men go on accommodating diseases and dy- ing with certainty and dispatch. Earthquakes shake us and volcanoes destroy us, and yet We know nothing at all as to the origin of these great forces.
 We are. in short, much too pre- sumptious. We consider ourselves very progressive, very learned, very much better in every way than our forefathers were, and yet our success sors will sheer at our ignorance and crudities, and their sneers will not be misplaced. We are, in fact, living in the babyhood of the world. We are progressing, no doubt, in accord ance with eternal law, but great peri ods of time must elapse before knowl- edge will reign supreme in this at pres ent rude, unschooled world. Germany and the United States are perhaps leading in the slow, but painful, search for sociological. relief, for knowledge, but thousands upon thou sands of years must elapse before the leaders can bring out even an ap- proximation of truth and justice. Lord Kelvin's confession is none too frank. The world is, as he says, in it's babyhood stage.

Parker and Bailey in 1904.

The New York Evening Sun thinks 1t sees signs that the Democratic ticket in 1904 is to consist of Chief Judge Alton B. Parker, dignifed, reticent man, who has been in his ac. tive life time Democrat, and Sena- tor Bailey as his running mate. Col
 Johnston, a close friend of MT. Bryan, who is also the Texas member of the Democratic National Committee, also favors this ticket. and presumably MT. Bryan does also. And the Sun lends credence to the report that MT. Bryan is strong enough to name the nominee. This information and these speculations are rather premature aufA. .theX Gome from the eDemys

S1 HAVE been travelling about Ala
 bama for the past four weeks and O have been much impressed with
 the development both in agricul- ture and manufactories. Indeed Alabama is rapidly outstripping all the other southern states both in diversity of ag- riculture and manufacturing.
 The farmers of Alabama are giving much attention to fruit and vegetable and in southwest Alabama about Cuba, York and Coatopa, and in some sections of north Alabama, men are making small fortunes out of speeialties on farms. The growth of the strawberry industry has been phenomenal, and almost every farm CT in Alabama is now planting peach or chards, Japanese plums and apples. In north Alabama, about Huntsville, are three of the largest fruit nurseries in the world.
 The hay industry in south Alabama is likewise assuming tremendous propor- tions, and it is only a matter, of time be- fore all the hay hat is consumed in Ala bama will be raised right here in the state
 Indeed the farmers of Alabama are realizing the importance of diversity in agriculture. Many of them are getting out of the old cotton and corn habit and ,devoting their time to crops which bring ready money and abundance of 1t.
 Almost without exception, those who have given attention to- vegetables and fruits have made tremendous profits, One man down at York picked and sold from his strawberry patch in one day last week $500 worth of berries. I mean he picked and sold berries in one day which brought him $500 cash. Nearly s40O of this was net profit. His total receipts this year from his strawberries will be fully $7OOO-s50OO of which will be profit. don't know of any other farmer in Alabama making this much money out of small acreage. Tn fact. I know of but few farm CTS in Alabama making this much money net profit annually on any size farm.
 As to manufactures, one who has not travelled about the state will be sur prised to know how many new cotton

To Choose an Archbishop.

"There is much speculation as to Arch bishop Corrigan's successor" said a member of the Catholic church. "The bishops or the province of New York will meet and select three names to be sent to the vatican. The consultors and the ire movable pastors of the archdiocese will also send three names to Rome.
 "The Pope usually appoints one of the ecclesiastics nominated by the bishops His holiness sometimes, however, rejects all the names submitted by the bishops and the priests and commissions some one who had not been placed in nomina- ton.
 Baltimore being the primatal see the archbishop of that city ranks at the head of the American hierarchy. New York, on account of its great Catholic population, ranks next in honor to Baltimore. The time is not far distant, I think, when both the archbishop of New York and the archbishop of Baltimore will be, by an unwritten rule, possessors of the red hat"

the power which they might be able to exercise if the convention system should be perpetuated. These twentieth men, are therefore determined to make a viz orous fight against the general primary. They are active and energetic where the nineteen class" as rule, are not &C., tive workers.
 I believe that Governor Jelks vii be re- elected almost unanim ously if a primary election is called by the State commit tee. The people of the state are well sat- ished with Jelks and his administration. but they feel that some of his close friends on the state committees in their earnest desire to have convention, may be representing his views. Such opinion Is being freely expressed by political .op- ponents of Governor Jelks with view of weakening the governor.
 As a matter ,of fact I hapepn to know that Governor Jelks is thoroughly agree able to having a primary called, but I do think it would strengthen him materially with the people of the state to express himself in no uncertain terms in favor of a primary.
 II ne VIII QO lHis, iiO ildH Ail- bama could make an effective contest against him. The people like him and want him to serve another term as gov ernor. but the people also want primary. In other words, every thinking man in Alabama feels that since the negro has been eliminated in this state he is enti- tied to voice in the management of the states affairs.
 The primary movement is undoubtedly tremendously strong, and it is growing ev- cry day. I believe the men who stand out against it in the state committee are but sounding their political death knells. I don't believe there is desire on the part of the people to make changes among the officeholders of the state but they do want the opportunity to be heard and considered in selecting officers. They are determined in that direction. and un- less shrewd manipulators stack the cards on them, so to speak. they will have primaries all along the line. At least this is the opinion of

Demand for State Primary.

The opponents of state primary have exhausted their ammunition. They had but three shots in their locker, namely:
 l. The state committee lacks power to call a state primary, although it arbitrarily ordered primary in the FiItn Congressional District two years ago. It would dearly love to have a state primary, as it will say when 1t meets. but it has no power to give the party what it wants, al though it sprang from the party and is responsible to the party and to no one else. Its responsibility to the convention that appointed it is "hot air." for there is no convention in existence. That convention is as dead as Hector. But the people who constitute the party live, and they want primary, and the state commit tee knows they do, and yet the com mittee w4lI have the hardihood, it is said, to say they cannot grant the request of those whom they repre- sent. They thus make themselves greater than the party itself This is sheer usurpation and nothing else.
 2 The conventionists also say in, ,,rfY, OIN tion law. So there are in the general election law, but either is good enough in the hands of honest inspec- tors, and these can be had. The re- markable solicitude in this respect of the conventionists is very touching.
 8. They say the expense to aspir- ants in state primary would shut out from office all but plutocrats. It l does not do so in the surrounding states, and when the conventionists l indulge their imaginative faculties they should find something that has some precedent behind it-some ex- perience to render it plausible. Con cern for aspirants is first, and con cern for the wishes of the rank and file is last, in their minds.
 These are all the excuses they have presented, and they are presumably all they have in stock. The situation is as plain as the nose on a mans face-the people want an opportunity to act directly, each man for himself, in the selection of candidates, be- cause the election is but formality or ratification affair, and the con ventionists say that selections must be made through a convention. The one wants a primary, the other con- vention. It is 100000 Democrats yer sus a handful. Now, which should win out in such a contest? Should the people be turned down with a prom ise to be made good four years later? Is this the way to treat the rank and file of the party?
 These questions are up to the state committee, and they cannot be pushed aside or evaded or circumvented by means of promised primaries in the distant future.

 He has established 36S free public libraries in as many towns, and each of these libraries bears his name. John Harvard erected at small cost a magnificent monument to his name, but even Harvard has been outdone by Carnigie, for millions will use the Carnegie libraries where thousands will go to Harvard University.
 MT. Carnegie's two great gifts were the ten millions that went in a lump sum to the Scotch universities, and a like donation to the National University at Washington. When the latter is deducted from the donations in this country We find he has given about million dollars to each state, but he has not considered state lines very much. Rhode Island, Delaware, South Carolina, Mississippi, Arkan- sas and Idaho have not been bene- fitted at Aall by his gifts. while Ala
