Speech of John B. Knox.

The Age-Herald is in receipt of pamphlet edition of the closing speech of Hon. John B. Knox in favor of the new constitution, which was delivered at Centreville, November g, 1901.
 MT. Knox discusses in his clear and concise way the advantages of the new instrument, which is now the organic law of Alabama.
 From reports from all sections of the State, the registration under the temporary plan which is now in prog ress seems to be working satisfac- torily, and so far as is known not a white man who has applied for regis tration has been refused. It is req sonable to hope that every good re- suit which, as claimed by MT. Knox would follow the new constitution, will be fulfilled. Dangers passed are soon forgotten, and the possibility of negro domination which hung like cloud on the title of Alabama, to progress and prosperity, having been removed, some may feel inclined to pick flaws in the new fabric.
 The suffrage plan, as MT. Knox ad- mitted, is not perfect, but was the best that could be devised under the cir cumstances. The constitution of the United States is not perfect, and Mir. Franklin, at the time of it's adoption, .hesitated to sign it because he eonsid- cred it defective.
 Mir. Knox explained the crying ne cessity for suffrage reform and showed how ballot box manipulation was un- dermining the morals of the white race.
 which places white and black on an equal footing as to qualification of electors, and replying to those critics who claimed it would enable the ne groes to control elections in the Black Belt, MT. Knox calls attention to an important qualification which many may overlook. He says:
 There is another provision in this section which our opponents overlook, and that is that the negro must not only be able to read and write, but he must be able to show that he has been engaged in some lawful employment or occupation for the greater part of one year preceding his application for registration. This clause is intended to reach and cut off large number of idle negroes, who reside in cities and towns, and depend for their sup port upon supplies received through their wives, kindred or friends em- ployed in white families"
 He also explains how the non-pay- ment of poll taxes will disqualig the negro, which contention is borne out by the experience of South Carolina and other Southern States which have adopted this provision.
 So far the new constitution is work ing smoothly and the machinery has not yet been slowed up on account of any hot box, ballot box or other ob- struction.

QUEER DISCUSSION BY WOMEN.

From the New York Journal.
 The Eclectic Club, composed of ladies who crave the emancipation of their sex and discussed the question:
 ''Is it possible for one woman to love two men at the time?'
 It may be possible, but is it proper?
 Or. if in the view of the emancipated, propriety is an offensive word. implying bondage to authority. is 1t safe?
 To man-who. as MT. Howells in an as- tonishing moment of masculinity said is yet imperfectly monogamous-it is often

 The ambitious woman has to havA a buffers pantry, if 1t is only a cracker box in corner of the kitchen.
 It is natural for woman to think that some other woman has designs on her husband as it is for her to think that he cannot succeed in business without other women being jealous of her.

Kwang su Decorates Composer.


 Somewhere in the custody of the gov ernment is a handsome decoration which ought to sparkle upon the breast of Hub bard T. Smith, secretary of the United States commissioner to China and con sular clerk of the United States. It was presented to him by the Emperor of China, but he cannot accept 1t until Con- gress grants him the necessary pernis- sion.
 Hub" Smith made an enviable name for himself as an official during the set clement of the Chinese troubles, but, after all, he will always be known to fame as the author of the song begin ming
 A little peach in an orchard grew.
 Listen to my tale of woe.
 That little tale of woe has been sung all over the world. Smith composed the music one Sunday afternoon while sitting at piano in his bachelor home. Par adise Flats" Washington, after reading Eugene Fields poem, and he sold it to a local music dealer for mere pittance It caught on everywhere and for a time was the most popular song in the United States Hundreds of thousands of copies were sold. Smith suddenly found him- self famous. He wrote quite number of other songs, including Swinging in the Grapevine Swing" but the tale of woe will be remembered when all the others are forgotten. And this does not please Smith, for his other songs are much more meritorious productions. But that is the way of the world.

Kosht, McAllister and Kossuch is
known, while the battery, Kittinger
and Brownell, will be depended upon
by the All Akron rootcrs to have n
large share In the game. Kittinger
Is pitching better ball than he has
any time this year, while Docs"
throwing arm improves with age.
There will be no reason to kick on
the umpire as one of the best known
players that Akron ever knew will

Morton, the old-time star of many
diamonds.
The East End lineup, as far as
known now, will be almost the same
as last Saturday.
