A pleasant social gathering of the past week was a banquet rendered by the con gregation of the Catholic Church to the choir of the church at its last rehearsal of the Christmas music Wednesday night. The Christmas music was unusually fine. the work of Dunklin's orchestra, the soloists and Watkins M. Vaughan. the violinist, being especially laudabie. The choir of the church Is now practicing The Holy City," the beautiful; oratOrio by Gaul. which will be sung In a few weeks.

More Furnaces Needed.

This country has become the chiei iron producing country of the world leading all the rest, and nearly doub ling the production of the next two producing countries, England and Ger many. The home demand may not always be as strong as it is at pres ent, but when the home demand slack ems an export demand will spring up for iron can be made at lower cost in this country than elsewhere, and particularly is this the case in this district.
 This district should therefore have more furnaces. The Woodward Con- pany is preparing to build another stack; the Schulers are to build two stacks, and near Tuscaloosa at least one stack has been planned-in all four stacks are in sight, but at least i've more are needed. The foundries of the country look to Alabama for foundry iron, and the furnaces of Ala bama cannot supply the demand. This should not be. We need more fur naces.
 The attention of Northern capital fists and ironmakers should be called by the Commercial Club to the situa- tion. There is no better investment, based as it will be on the wants of the world for the great commercial metal. The opening of the Warrior will be assured by the passage of the rivers and harbors bill now pending in a conference committee and when 1t is opened no furnace will at any time lack orders, and whether the price be s15 as it is at present, or $6 as it was a few years ago, the fur naces in this district can make money. It is said the Woodward Company did not pass monthly dividend while iron was selling around six dollars a ton, and the Warrior was then as now closed. It will soon be opened, when iron can be barged to the sea at a transportation rate of about 40 cents a ton. Build, then. more furnaces.

The Confederate Dead.

A monument in commemoration and honor Of the dead soldiers of the Con- federacy seems peculiarly appropriate and just. because the cause became lost cause, and the children of today have nothing else before their eyes to remind them of the valor of their ancestors. Monuments to the Federal dead can be found in almost every Northern city, although the cause for which they fought survives in the gov ernment, and 1t seems much more ap- proprfate to erect monuments in Southern cities to the heroic dead of lost cause. Not that the dead of the Oonfederacy need monument but the living. especially the children, need to be reminded of the sacrifices and devotion and courage of their fathers.
 Already base for monument has been laid in Capital Park-a fine To- cation-and about $500 received to- wards monument, and now Pelham chapter of the Daughters of the Con- federacy proposes to ask the good people of this town to increase the sum on hand to $300O in order that a beautiful monument to the dead sol diers of the Confederacy may be placed on the base in Capitol Park. That base Is now a reflection upon our patriotism and our fondest mem ories, and it is proposed to remove this reflection by placing a lasting memorial in the beautiful little North side park. The sum needed Is not a large one in these prosperous times, and can be readily subscribed for if all will lend hand. The work of pro- curing 1t will be begun at once, and the Daughters who have charge of it should be, and assuredly will be warmly met and their requests cor
 daily granted.

power to call at it's pleasure a pri- mary or a convention, has not State convention a like power?
 The truth is. the State Committee is the executive of the party until the people act. The people are the mas- ters, they are sovereign, they are su. preme. By the people, we mean the rank and file of the party. They are to select candidates, which in Ala bama is equivalent to electing them in every sense of the word. The No vember business is in Alabama but formality, a ratification in legal form. To deprive the people of the power to directly select candidates is to rob them of their political privil- eges.
 But this is not to the point. It is the duty of the State Committee to see that the party selects candidates It can say to the Democrats of the  State, You may select candidates through middlemen," or it can say, "You may select candidates by direct vote" The one is as much within it's power as the other. Their duty, their whole duty, consists of putting the party in a way to select it's can didates, and it can follow the action of surrounding States and of the counties of this State if it so desires to do.
 Who would object in case primaries were ordered? Not the masses, the great body of the people, for ninety nine men out of every hundred in the State desire a primary. When the truth is needed, it is preposterous to say that the rank and file, the people, will object when they are asked to act directly for themselves instead of letting agents, generally self-selected, act for them.
