Whether the present high cost of
living is due to the formation of
trusts or combinations of small
dealers, the fact remains beyond
contradiction that articles upon
which the ordinary individual and
his family are compelled to subsist
have advanced materially. This
advance has been manifested all
along the line, but particularly has
ii excited public attention in the
matter of recent increase in values
of meat products. The butchers
have been included in the list and
today good beef, meat, veal and
pork are selling at an advance of
from ten to twenty per cent. The
matter is becoming serious, as 1t di-
rectly affects the question of living
in the matter of household expen-
ses, and the man with SIN al
salary in using the parlance of the
street is 'sup against it, That is
why we suggest, "If you can't af-
ford to eat meat, eat rice"
The value per pound is largely in
favor Of rice, as this cereal provides
five times the food material as the
same value expended for beef. Rice
is cheaper, it is more easily digest
ed than any other food, 1t can be
cooked in over 200 different forms
and IL contains every element of nu
triton. The high price of beef and
other meat products should mate
rally increase the consumption of
rice, and being Texas product,
should enhance the value of the ag-
ricultural classes. Bu-

This is the last day of the most
successful reunion of United Con-
federate Veterans that has ever
been held. The immensity of the
attendance has been gratifying not
only to the local committees and to
the citizens of Dallas and Texas
generally, but to the surviving
leaders of the greatest struggle In
the worlds history. A reporter for
this paper spent yesterday in Dali
las and after hearing various esti-
males made of the attendance and
making a survey of the fields it Is
certain that the veterans from this
and other states numbered fully So
600, while there were at least as
many more of the younger genera
tion on the ground from this and
other states.
The parade of the veterans yes
terday morning, full account of
which is given in our press dis
patches, was great event, Not
withstanding the fact that the
streets were thronged with people,
only few accidents were reported.
A small boy fell under moving
electric ear and had one leg crushed
off, and during the parade young
woman was run over by mounted
guard. She was picked up without
sustaining any injuries.

Big Money for Big Rails.

The Southern Pacific like many
railroads of the East, has adopted
as standard, new eighty-pound
steel rails for it's entire line. Sev-
eraa hundred miles of the route have
already been equipped and plans
have recently been adopted contem-
plating the relaying of l56 miles
with the eighty pound steel rail at Q
cost Of s645, 900. The "SO"-pound
rail has been adopted by the Ameri-
can sueiety of Civil Engineers as
the n0st efficient standard. The
Improvement here mentioned would
have been accomplished sometime
since, but delay was occasioned by
the inability of the Southern Pacific
to secure the required steel. The
work will begin in the near future.

SLAP MEANT FOR
 ALA. REPUBLICANS
APPOINTMENT OF JUDGE RouL- HAc CAUSES MUCH DISCUSSION IN POLITICAL CIRCLES IN WASH INoToN-FoR NEGRO VOTE.
RY wArrERsoN srEALEY.

Washington, October s-(special.) l.)-The appointment of Judge Thomas R. Roul- hae to the district attorneyship of north ern Alabama was a topic of general dis cussion in political circles here today. The announcement coming just at a time when a delegation of negro leaders had called at the White House to see the President led to the report that the con- ference had influenced the appointment, but 1t is known that the President decid- ed to give the position to Judge Roulhac before this conference met The President. however, announced that he was against the indiscriminate dlsfranchisement of the negro, which action had received the indorsement of the Alabama republicans at their recent state convention.
 An official of the administration states that Roulhac's appointment was made to rebuke the Alabama republicans for turn ing out qualified negro delegates to the convention.
 There Is doubt here that the President 8 slap at the re-organzed Alabama repub- 1icans was done for no other purpose than to influence the negro voter to re- main in line for the republican ticket, not the negro vote in Alabama, which has now practically ceased to exist, but the negro vote Tn the middle states, where the two political parties are so closely divid- ed that few thousand negroes hold the balance of power.

L. 6 N. BRIDGE COMPLETED.
Trains VIII Soon Be Running From
 Pensacola eo Selma.

Selma. October s.-(speciai) = After many set backs and sundry trials and tribulations the builders of the Louis vile and Nashville railroad bridge across the Alabama river at this point are at last able to see daylight, and the hope Is that by January 1 next trains will be running from Pensacola directly into Selma without having to go all the way around by Gulf Junction.
 The builders of the bridge met with a series of misfortuunes from the very start. They were harassed by strikes. had great difficulty in conquering the water to get a foundation, had their coffer dams fioated away by high water, had flat boat after fiat boat to turn over and sink engines and pump to the bot tom of the river, but now the masonry on each pier is many feet above the wa ter and will soon be on level with the high bluff on this side of the river. The laying of the steel will be comparatively an easy job and there is every prospect that the bridge will be completed by the beginning of the new year.

BESSEMER WANTS
 NEW WATER WORKS
Mayor Huey Secures Option on
 Tract of Land.
HAWKINS SPRINGS WATER
Morrls Adler Owns Spring Property and lt Is Said Litigation Is Bound to Result-Mr. Adler Wants
 the Contract Renewed.

Bessemer, October s.--(special.)-There were some interesting developments in the water works question at the meeting of the city council held last night. The question of the renewal of the city's con- tract with Morris Adler Of Birmingham. the owner of the waterworks has been pending for some time, the city being un- willing to agree with certain conditions proposed by MT. Adler. The present sup ply of water is inadequate to the grow ing needs of this city. but before taking steps to increase this supply MT. Adler wishes a renewal of the contract
 At the meeting of the council last night Mayor Huey stated that he had secured an option on a certain tract of land through which the water of Hawkins spring flows before emptying into Valley Creek. He suggested that the council pipe this water to Bessemer, thus sup plying a water works system of their own. The council authorized the mayor to arrange for the negotiation of s200,00o worth of bonds for this purpose.
 As MT. Adler owns Hawkins spring and all of the other desirable sources of water supply in this section, litigation Is bound to follow, and the settlement of the question of a pure and sufficient wa ter supply for the city may be postponed indefinitely.
 The council has attempted for some weeks past to elect a successor to James Cahill alderman from the fourth ward, who resigned on account of removal into the third ward. Whenever the attempt has been made the quorum has been broken. Last night James A. Meacham was elected.
 A contract was granted T. J. Cornwell and associates for a gas plant for the supply of light and fuel, work to begin within six months
 The Alabama Great Southern road was granted the right of way for a siding at Alabama avenue and Thirteenth street.
 All of the police force were reelected, with a slight increase of pay all around.

ATTEMPT TO BURN SCHOOL.
shavinss Piled Up in Room of Selma
 University ana Set on Fire.

Selma October 8.-(Special.)-A att tempt to burn the Selma University was made Sunday night last but the matter has been hushed up until today, with the hope of detecting the would-be iend.
 Sunday night about Il o'clock fire was discovered in one of the rooms of the uni- versity and with considerable difficulty it was extinguished. Carpenters were at work about the building on Saturday and had left a quantity of shavings laying around. These had been gathered to- gether and piled on the floor of one of the rooms and then set on fire. There were several students asleep in the building at the time and if the fire had gotten head way several fatalities would likely have resulted.
 The Selma University is a three-story brick building, located just on the edge of the city on the Sulnmeriield road, and Is a negro institution founded and sus- tained by northerners interested in ne- gro education. The police are at work on the case and hope to land the culprit in jail.

NEGROES HAPPY
 OYER SELECTION
CLAIM THEY WERE MAINLY RE- sPoNsIBLE FOR THE APPOINT MENT OF JUDGE RoULHAc AS DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

Montgomery. October s.-(specia1.) )-The efferveseing joy of the negroes over the appointment of Judge Roulhae as attor- ney of the northern district, which, they claim was brought about mainly through their appeal and recommendation, is shown by the following telegram which they today sent the President: ITO His Excellency, the President of the
 United States:
 We. the undersigned colored republi- cans of Montgomery. Ala, while passing through the darkest hour of our political history, wish to thank and congratulate you upon the appointment of Hon. Thom- as R. Roulhac of Sheffield to the attor- neyship of the northern district of Ala bama, instead of the lily white republi- can candidate.
 "(sgned)
 IN. H. Alexander, J. ". Jones, J. W. Adams, Rev. F. L. Teague. Rev. J. w. Coffey, Rev. F. A. Weathington Rev. A. J. Stokes, Rev. L. D. Workman, J. w Giles Rev. H. s. Watkins, Bishop John W. Alstork, Dr. N. Nesbitt, Dr. S. S. H. Worlight. N. P. Hatcher, Rev. G. E. Coley."
 There is no doubt about these names representing the most prominent negroes in the town. The first name Alexander, is that of the colored receiver of public moneys, himself appointed by MT. Roose- velt
 The white offce-holders are somewhat at sea over the situation. One faction here opposed throwing the negro over, Capt. Dimmick and Postmaster Buckley taking that view, but they all yielded to the pressure from the white counties and to the dominant sentiment here, and par ticipated in the Birmingham convention. The wing which fathered the movement here, having the district attorneys office as its center, is not disposed to take back water, agreeing with Wellman, state chairman that nothing is left but to go ahead. The democrats are disposed to think that the Presidents attitude as re- vealed to the colored bishops, who called on him in protest against the lilly white movement, will demoralize the republican campaign in the state. The negroes here very generally are disposed to credit the turning down of the lilly whites and the selection of a democrat to the influence of signified that Judge Roulhac would be more than acceptable.
 In the meantime, those familiar circu- lar letters from the department of jus tice warning government officials against pernicious activity in politics, have been coming at regular intervals and one came to hand only the other day at the gov ernment building.

 While Bay Minette is not a city like Atlanta or Mobile, yet she is needing a depot just about as badly. The building being used for that purpose is almost ready to fall down, but the people are waiting patiently.
