The Montgomery advertiser. [volume] (Montgomery, Ala.) 1885-1982, 1902-09-25

A petition was circulated yesterday
among the business men of Montgomery
signed by the infantry military companies
of the city. asking the cooperation of the
business men in a Military Street Fair,
to take place here from Novembre 10
to November IS.
Capt. e. F. Baber of the Montgomery
Blues, said last night that Jacob Ed
monds, representative of the Cincinnati
Carnival Company is in the city, and is
working up the Street Fair. He further
said that every business house in the
Street Fair district had been visited yes
terday and that the consent or sanction
of the head of each firm had been Sc
cured.
Captain Baber went on to say that the
mans for the fair had not matured, but
he was certain that it would be fair
which would give citizens of Montgomery
n great deal of pleasure and the mer-
chants and business houses a great deal
of profit. The fair, he said would be un-
der the direction of the Montgomery
Crews and the Montgomery True Blues,
and would be managed and pushed by
ttem. The Cincinnati Carnival Company
he said h been highly recommended to

for whom they had given Street Fairs

What the New Train Service
Means to Them.
Mail from New York and Other
Eastern Points, Which Former
ly Reached Here at II
a. M, Will Arrive at
$40 q. m.

An event of immense Importance to
Montgomery and the business world of
the South is the Inauguration of the fast
mail service, announced in Yesterdays
Advertiser
This improved service will save bust
ness day for Montgomery. The mail
from New York, Boston, Washington ana
all the Eastern cities. which has here
tofore been arriving at Montgomery at
II a M will, on the new schedule, be
delivered here at $40 a. M, so that it may
all be distributed and placed in the hands
of merchants and other citizens in time
for attention at the opening of the bust
ness day or by early breakfast time.
This saving of seven hours in actual
schedule time constitutes practically the
saving of a business day because if the
mail is not on time on its present sched-
ule, the delay amounts 10 the loss OF
nearly a whole day. whereas on the new
time, while it Is expected the mail Will
reach here punctualiy. still even few
hours delay will give ample margin to
get the delivery in time for the opening
of business.
The Southern Railway is the most i'm
portant factor in making this great inn
provement for the people of the South
II was the Southern Railway which orig
mated the new schedule and induced its
connections to unite with it in this supe-
rior service.
The lines composing this fast mail route
are the Pennsylvania Railroad, the
Southern Railway AMI the Atlanta and
West Point and the Western Railway of
Alabama, between Montgomery and the
East Then the Louisville and Nashville
takes up the schedule here and places
the fast mail promptly in Mobile, Pensa-
cola and New Orleans, and makes the
transcontinental connection at New Or
leans with the Southern Pacific.
The schedule time for the new train
is forty-two miles an hour, including
stops, but dcducting stops, makes it about
forty-eight miles an hour between Mont
gomery and New York.

the matter upon the colored vote in the
doubtful States of the Ohio Valley.
The white Republicans of Alabama,
at the birmingham State Convention. held
in Birmingham last week, decided to eX-
clude the negro from all political recoS-
milton. Sixteen colOred men appeared on
delegations with the whites from mum
her of counties; the negroes were denied
the admission granted to the white men,
although all had been elected together
and were entitlt dtO the same consdera-
ton. Guards were even placed at the
doors to see that no negro was allowed
to enter the building. 1t is doubtful II
the Democrats of the South have ever
gone further than this.
This singular outburst of anti-negro
feeling among the Republicans of Ala
to pull ont the cheStnuts. For more than
thirty years scores Of Southern white
men have been kept in offices of profit
by negro support. In winning that sup
port they did not hesitate to ALLEVIATE
themselves from the great mass Of their
fellows and to endure certain social
ostracism. 1t has been steadily charged
by the dominant white element that these
men had no real interest in the negro
and would throw him overheard when
he was no longer needed; and now the
5000 or less negroes in the State who
have passed the scrutiny OF the Demo-
cratic registration boards under the new
Alabama Constitution have been made to
walk the plank Their number is
negligible quantity
''Of course, the explanation of the white
politicians is that in this way they hope
10 build up a Republican party in the
South. But the respectable colored peo-
pie of the State, who have equipped
themselves for participation In it's gov
eminent may be expected to appeal
against this injustice to the Republican
administration and to the Republican
party al large. So, too. the colored Vot-
ers of Ohio. Indiana and lots of Northern
States will he heard from on the sub
ject. The question Is not one that can
be waved aside by calling it a local af-
fair. The Republican administration in
Washington, with its thumb on the stop
cock Of patronage, is always able to con-

and he thought that every attraction
would be first class. He added that
while it would be a pay attraction, there
would be many free features.
Capt f. B. Joseph, Jr.. Of the Mont
gomery Greys said his company would
also take an active interest in the fair.
He had conferred with Captain Baber and
they believed that it would be great
thing for the Montgomery military.
1t is probable that joint meeting or
the companies will be called some time
this week to arrange more definite plans
for the fair.
The fair will take place during the re-
union of the Alabama division of Con-
federate veterans in Montgomery. and
the military men believe that the 1-cent
ticket rates over all railroads and the
presence of the veterans combined with
the attractions of the fair will insure
a big crowd.
The Montgomery Street Fair Associa-
ton. under whose management three sue
cessful Street Fairs have been given in
Montgomery during the past three years,

The Street Fair Association, acting upon
what appeared to be the wishes Of Mont
gomery business men, decided some time
ago not to give Street Fair this fall.
