THE RIGHT PLAN.

From the Montgomery Advertiser
 Birmingham has been suffering recent ly from one of the most dangerous phases of law-breaking that can afflict any city; we mean the habit of carrying concealed weapons. As an effective means of putting stop to 1t we note that Judge Feagin has announced in very decided terms that after the 1st day of October next any man convicted of this offense months hard labor. After the date men toned there is to be no alternative sent ence, and no opportunity to get out of the Imprisonment by money payment.
 Judge Feagin has struck the right plan to break up this evil habit and the only plan, and if he will rigidly adhere to it. and insist that all classes and grades of men shall suffer the same punishment for the same offense, he will do more to stop the habit than any official has done yet The failure to stop pistol toting in Ala | bama has been caused solely by the lem iency of the courts and by the favoritism which the law allows in punishing of lenders When a judge sentences a man to a fine of Imprisonment he can, If he has money. or has friends who can fur nish it. pay fine and costs and go free. If he is not able to raise the money he goes to prison or to the chain gang.
 This is unjust and unfair. but we all know 1t to be true. It is putting a money penalty on the rich and Imprisonment on the poor. It is teaching the wealthy man that he can carry his pistol concealed by paying for the privilege but the poor man must be degraded and punished because he is poor. It isn't right but we all know that 1t Is continually done in all the courts of the country. Judge Feagin has adopted the right method and his | example might well be followed in Mont | gomery as well as in other cities. Bir- mingham is not the only community where carrying concealed weapons is a too common practice. and it is to be hoped that Judge Feagin will be successful and 1 that his example will extend 70 all DOT tions of Alabama. It Is the only plan that offers any hope of success. and should have a fair trial. If 1t succeeds in Birmingham 1t will succeed elsewhere and should be tried wherever the prac- tice prevails.

Brlno Out a Full Vote.

If today's primary is to make name for itself and establish politi- cal revolution, full vote-as full as circumstances will permit-should be brought out. A vote up to that boiled for the late Governor Sanford should be boiled. This vote was 115.000, and although some of 1t was fraudulently cast yet there is no reason why an honest vote of that size should not be cast today.
 Such vote would leave 65,000 reg istered men at home picking cotton or selling goods or doing one thing or the other and there is no demand for a larger number of stay-at-homes. A vote equal to Governor Samford's is all that is needed, and every friend of primaries should make an effort to get out such a vote. About seven in every ten registered persons should in other words attend the primary today and vote.
 The danger of light vote is more threatening in the cities and mining districts than in the agricultural coun- ties, and 1t is in the cities and mining districts that special efforts are need full. Urge every one to vote, and let the missionary work be especially ac- tive in the towns and mining locali- ties.
 The entire primary system is at stake, for If the reactionists can truth fully say that the people do not desire to act directly in the making of party nominations, then the system will totter to it's fall, and the dickering, trading convention will be re-estab- lished There is more involved in a general attendance today than in the selection of candidates, for the pri- mary system itself is on trial in this state. The Age-Herald does not for a moment doubt the continuance of the system, but it hopes to see all doubts in that direction dispelled by a full vote today. Every vote cast today is vote in favor of the establishment of the primary system-of direct action by the people, for .ne people.

IDEA IS IMPRAcTicA6LE.
Americans Not Trying to Purchase the
 Home of Washington's Ancestors.

London, August 24-The statements published in the United States to the effect that Americans in England are trying to purchase the house near Danbury, Oxfordshire, which was the home of George Washington's ances- tors, with the view of transporting 1t to the United States for exhibition at the St. Louis exposition, have sur prised the agents of the property, who have heard nothing on the subject The agents recall that when the prop erty was placed in their hands for sale a year ago tue same project was mooted and discussed in the news papers, but it was dismissed as im- practicable. Since then the agents nave not been approached by an american offer.
 Commissioner Parker of St. Louis informed a representative of the Asso- ciated Press today that there Is no movement whatever in this direction, and that the idea is absolutely im- practicable.
 The mayor of Banbury also said he ha4 no knowledge of any negotiations for the purchase of the Washington house.

Vote a Complete Ticket.

Many of the county papers have printed with an K" opposite the names of fayorites. This is an excel lent lesson in voting and wherever it has been done the voters cannot fail to know how to vote at the coming primary.
 It is important that each and every voter shall express his choice for each and every office named on the official ballot. This rule should be extended to the least place to be filled, or else 1t will be claimed that the people can not be trusted to select all nominees that they go crazy oyer the head of the ticket and neglect the rest, and so on to the end of the chapter. Guard against such complaints by putting an "X" opposite some name for each office named. Do not leave a single vacancy on the ticket you vote today
 When you vote for a governor and . superintendent of education and county candidates, do not forget to name a nominee for state auditor or attorney general or secretary of state.

An Election in Vermont.

The state of Vermont if very much torn up, and a real contest will cul- minate there on September ?. The state has became the Nevada of the east, being the prey of New York, instead of San Francisco plutocrats. 1t was at first planned that member O. the Vanderbilt family, one Dr. Webb, should bag the gubernatorial office, but Webb was trapped Into a speculative movement of an unusual sinister nature, and he was with drawn, and Plutocrat Mccullough, also of New York, took the nomina- tion.. The democratic nominee Is Mir. McKettrick, who may be from either Scotland or Ireland.
 But there is a prohibition candidate, and also a local option candidate. The latter's name is Clement, and he is conducting a very warm campaign. He stand not only for local option in liquor, but he also wants local option as against the New York invasion. He wants his state taken out of the pocket borough or Nevada class. He is also a republican.
 Tn Vermont in order to win a candi- date must have a clear majority of all votes cast-otherwise the affair is set tied in the legislature. This is pro- babfy what will happen, and the Gle ment bolters and democrats are giv- ing close attention to the election of Legislators. It is many years since Vermont has had contested election, but she has one in sight this year, and the people of the state are enjoy ing the unusual privilege.

TESTS or DIAMONDS.

From the London Express.
 Any one can tell a genuine diamond or precious stone even from a very clever imitation. There are a few household tests which are practically infallible. The diamond expert, after long years of ex- perience with gems, can detect an imi- tation, as a rule at a glance. The lay man in such matters, with a few simple tests, takes more time to solve such prob lens, but his judgment in the end is scarcely less accurate.
 An imitation diamond Is never so bril- liant as a genuine stone. If your eye is not experienced enough to detect the diff ference, a very simply test is to place the stone under water. The imitation stone is practically extinguished, while a genuine stone sparkles even under water, and is distinctly visible. When possible place a genuine stone desde the possible imitation under water, and the contrast will be apparent to the least experienced eyes.
 hO 6ioSS7NAteih6 tNoA ID, oA SS, iAioA V or less familiar. It is probably the most common. False diamonds are usually cut more regularly than the genuine stones In cutting a diamond the material is saved as far as possible. In any imta- ton the material is itself worthless, and no attention is made to suit the size or angle of the facets to the form of the stone. It can be put down as a safe rule that when stone is cut with great even ness and regularity it Is, to say the least, a very suspicious sign.
 Another very simple and effective test is to place a drop of water on the stone and carefully observe the result The stone should first be carefully cleaned. On an imitation diamond the drop, how ever small. w.li deliquesce. The drop will. however, retain original shape on a true tone. To make the test quite sure use a magnifying glass when watching the action of the drop
 Still another test of this nature is to pass the stone over a piece of aluminium Both the metal and the stone should be absolutely free from any trace of grease. The metal will give off some of it's color

The Cereal Corps.

Prices of cereal products will be profit able for the western farmers this year. '" said a broker, and in this connection the following from Bradstreets is being read with interest:
 Notwithstanding the large yields of cereals this year the outlook for wheat prices Is not so bearish as some would expect, owing to the small supplies left over from last years bumper crop BroomhaIl, who estimates the crop of Europe and America at 2,2So 900 bush els. 56,0O0,OOO bushels more than last year and only 100000 bushels below the re- cord year in the worlds history, 1SsS places the aggregate supply of new and old wheat, present and prospective, at 2,36S, 900, 900 bushels.
 Practically the worlds supply Is just about what 1t was a year ago and s. O0,0OO bushels smaller than in 1898. There is rather less looked for than a year ago from the southern countries. This would. In the nature of things, indicate that prices of the past year might not be greatly lowered of 1t were not for the fact that crops of all other cereals and of potatoes are much larger this year than last. which saw probably the maxi mum consumption of what, which was substituted for other crops. particularly corn, in this and other countries. The main uncertain feature will probably therefore, be the effect of these bounteous crops of other foods upon the worlds g great oereal-Uheat

to an imitation stone, while genuine diamond will remain perfectly clear and unaffected. Among jewellers the final test is to apply a drop of fiuorhydric acid to the stone under suspicion. The acid will eat into any false diamond and frost it. while the genuine stones will not be dam aged in the slightest degree
 Perhaps the simplest method of all, however, is to examine an ink spot on a. sheet of white paper through a diamond by holding the upper surface against the eye. If the stone be counterfit the black spot will appear greatly multiplied. or at least doubled. The outline will moreover. appear blurred and indistnct By using a magnifying glass the test can readily be made absolute
 The optical test is the best in examining rubies and emeralds. It is commonly sup posed that such stones can be best tested by rubbing them with a file, that the genuine stones resist the steel while the limitations only will suffer; but the test Is not exhaustive. The best plan Is to examine them closely with a microscope of about 100 diameters. The genuine stones have a number of minute flaws. whereas the limitations are likely to be much more nearly perfect in texture.

100 MILES AN HOUR.
Electric Company Proposes to Run a
 Train at Lightning Speed.

New York, August 24.-An electrical company at Lynn, Mass, is building a train which is to be soon used in Illinois, says a special dispatch from Lynn, and which, the engineers esti. mate, will make 90 to 100 miles an hour
 It Is added that the track for the train in Illinois is almost completed, that the line is about 15O miles long and is remarkable for solidity and strength. AS far as possible grades have been eliminated. Electricity will be the motive power and the third rail system will be used.
 It is claimed that the train will be safer and run less risk of leaving the rails than an orolnary street car.
 The theory held by electricians is that the train is practically electri cally welded to the track and cannot leave 1t while the power is on. The location of the track IS not given ir the dispatch.
