eRATTLEsoRo LIQUOR RAID.
ingenious Device Failed to Prevent
Confiscation.


The American House at Brattleboro
was raided by four officers Tuesday of
last week and two quart bottles OF
whiskey were seized. The raid was
made on complaint OF States Attorney
Weston of Bellows Falls. Michael
Bowker, the bartender, when the Of
ficers entered dashed all the liquor at
hand down through a trap door to the
cellar bottom. The officers found a
secret entrance leading to that part of
the cellar. The officers arrested Bow
ker and rescued two bottles OF whis-
key. Jerome Ward, clerk in the
hotel, was also taken into custody.
Both were placed under bonds in the
sum OF $500 each for their appearance
Monday.
Lester S. Wilbur, the reputed pro-
prietor, was out of town at the time of
the raid but was arrested next day and
placed under $500 bonds. Wilbur's
brother, former proprietor, was fined
$500 at the last term of the county
court for selling liquor. The fine was
the heaviest allowable under the law.

MT. London's Timely Letter.

Alex. T. London rendered the county yesterday a great service when he exposed two crying evils. He shows that four officials receive $50,000 a year, while the public schools are starved, receiving from the county but $15,000. Four officials are allowed to collect from the people $50,O00, al though the jail went unguarded at night, and the entire service was slov- enly. The sum mentioned is probably an underestimate
 These four officials should be paid salaries, no one receiving more than the Governor of the State, and if the people of this county fail to see that this change. is brought about by the next Legislature, then they deserve to be exploited in the future as in the past. f
 The other fact brought out by MT. London goes much deeper. It is, in fact, a shame to every honest man, woman and child in the county. The poor and friendless, white and black alike, to use MT. London's effective words, are worked in order to swell the cost bills, or fine and forfeiture fund-a fund as mysterious as 1t Is corrupt. The poor and friendless in this city have to run the gauntlet of the police who are trying to swell the fines collected to S25,000, and then they fall into the hands of the county officials, who have an eye-single to the fine and forfeiture fund.- As MT. Lon. don picturesquely says, This Is a modern form of human slavery" The arrests under these twin plans are trebled at least beyond what normal and proper conditions would justify and if the good people of the county do not put an end to the entire busi. ness, they must not say that they did not know the truth. MT. London has made the matter so plain that he who runs may read.

own line to the Warrior, and this 1t will do in such a contingency.
 The plan proposed would afford slackwater above the mouth of Valley creek. It will cost about $4,000.O0O to establish a six-foot channel in Valley creek up to a point near Bessemer, a point by the way thirteen miles from this town. It will thus be seen that slackwater in the Warrior up to the railroad bridges should and naturally will come first. When this is secured we can toll on patiently for an ex- tension of slackwater navigation to this town. The opening of the War rlor to the railroad bridges should not be postponed beyond the Fifty ninth Congress, and to this great work of Congressmen Underwood and Bank head should come the active assistance of the other Congressmen of the State and of the two Senators. In fact, the entire country is interested in the opening of the Warrior, because it relates directly to the country's ex' port trade.

Infanticide is Prevalent.

Almost every day brings new ac. counts pf crimes against helpless babes. It is not reasonable to think that any of the little victims died a natural death. They were prematurely and cruelty hurried out of the world, and steps should be taken to stop this crime. Some one should be brought to punishment.
 Although eight cases have occurred in short space of time, no one seems to be considered guilty by the investi- gating officials. It is time the crime is brought home to some one. Unless some one is punished, it will be im- possible to stop the murder, of wee little ones. No matter how ,unfor- tunate their start in life may be, they have right to life, and whoever takes a life from such little ones is a mur- derer to the extent that he would be If he slew a giant This fact should be made plain. and this can be done only by finding and bringing to pun ishment some guilty persons.

Famine in Foundry Iron.

The South produces fully one-half of the foundry iron of the country, and the large consumers are becoming nervous over the years supply, in view of the immense requirements of the country at present. This nervous ness is accentuated by the fact that several furnaces in the central West in Ohio-are about to transfer their stocks from the making of foundry iron to basic or Bessemer iron, thus throwing upon the Southern furnaces still greater demand.
 ss The Iron Age, in discussing this suhieot, says: "The Southern pro- N ducers, of course, are the largest single factor in the foundry trade, since they make nearly one-half of the entire product of the country. Their position is well illustrated by that of the eight leading interests in Alabama, Tennes- see and Virginia We understand that these concerns have in the aggregate 
 on their books orders for 100000 tons of foundry pig iron scattered for de- livery during the year. the bulk of { course for the first half They do, however, run to the end of the year. { The same furnace interests have un- {. sold a capacity of 100000 tons of pig < iron for the balance of the year, so that. so far as the principal source of foundry iron is concerned, there is large tonnage still available"
 There are no data as to the avail able supply from other sections, but the Iron Age is inclined to think there will be iron enough to go round. It anticipates, however, importations. In afact, 5000 tons of No. 3 Middlesbor- Tough foundry pig iron have already been purchased for import to this srountry.
 %& This condition of affairs means that every available Southern furnace will be pushed to the utmost throughout the year, and the foundries will be glad to hear of additions to the num- Der. Alabama has at least half a dozen that could be brought into serv- ice-furnaces that, like the Mary Pratt, are ready for the torch. If they are ever to be put into operation now seems to be the favorable opportunity, for foundry iron is in great demand, and every pound of a furnaces prod uct can be readily sold ahead to the end of the year.

What the Country Needs.

The Legislative ticket of next fall, when affairs of the State. county and city are to be adjusted to the new con- stitution, should consist of men ex- ceptionally fitted for the task. Not only are good lawyers needed, but men of honest convictions-men who are not in politics for what there is in it-men who do not want office and who do not look forward to further political service. Courageous men are wanted as well as wise men.
 A ticket headed by Alex. T. London, and filled to the end with men of like standing and capacity, is what lief ferson County needs. But in order to get such ticket there must be pri- maries, and these primaries must be honestly conducted. If the people !. of Jefferson have not gumption enough to secure honest primaries next fall, then they deserve to be robbed, and they assuredly will be.
 Never in the history of the State were men of the London sort so needed by the county as at present. Another Legislature will not meet un- til 1906, and much of the more i'm portant work of adjustment should be done next winter, and 1t should be done honestly and intelligently, and that is why The Age-Herald calls for an Alex. T. London ticket throughout. Every name on the ticket should measure up to that standard. We call upon the best citizens to come for ward this season as aspirants for the Legislature-to offer as candidates. There Is no money in the task, but the county needs this year the serv- ices of its best citizens. It needs an Alex. T. London ticket from top to bottom. It never needed such ticket more, and perhaps never will again.

Oneninn the Warrior.

Congressmen Underwood and Bank. head are toiling faithfully to open the Warrior. They got two years set back at the hands of Senator Tom Carter, but they anticipate an appro- priation at this session of Congress of enough money to put in three addi- tional dams and locks. These three dams and locks will be put in below Tuscaloosa, practically giving at that point six feet of slackwater the year round.
 Each Congress passes but one rivers and harbors bill-that is to say, such appropriations are not made each year, but once in every two years. Appropriations for current expenses are made annually. The bill about to be brought in will be the only rivers and harbors bill of the Fifty-seventh Congress.
 After the three proposed new dams and locks are completed, seven more will be needed in order to carry slack water to the bridges of the Frisco and the Southern Railroads. These seven dams and locks will cost about $1,750,000 and Messrs. Underwood and Bankhead are confident that the Fifty eighth and Fifty-ninth Congresses can priations-sums about equal to the one the Fifty-seventh Congress is about to vote. This expectation is a reasonable one, and it will undoubtedly be met, especially if the two repre- sentatives of the mineral district are alive and in their present seats, and this district knows a good representa- tive when it sees him.
 If this programme be carried out, in 1906 there will be sixfoot water the lyear round in the Warrior up to a point eighteen miles from this town, passing by great coal fields and ore deposits. This will to a great extent be an Open Warrior. For if. existing railroads will not carry coal and iron to the Warrior at switching-charge rates, or two dollars a car, this town can at an expense of s200, ,000 build It's

Very Gay Life.

 "One of the gambling clubs runs care that is finer than any thing this side or New York. While every sort of gambling has full swing at the Hot, faro seems to be the most rational and popular game No man with any sense would throw away his money on roulette. Faro is a conservative game along side of the wheel.
 There Is some stud poker and bridge whist played this season, but faro leads the fashion. The hotels at Hot Springs are magnihcently kept and the bands and orchestras play better music than Is heard in New York outside of the sym phony concerts"

We Are An0lO- Saxons.

Those who are accustomed to say this is not an Anglo-Saxon country are talking very much at random, especially if they accept the meaning of the term Anglo-Saxons furnished by the Century Dictionary as follows:
 "The English race; all persons in Great Britain and Ireland, the United States and their dependencies, who belong actually or nominally, nearly pr remotely to the Teutonic stock of England; in the widest sense, all Eng ush-speaking or English-appearing people" This sweeps in all Irishmen As Anglo-saxons, and as they are not Latins or Slavs, it is difficult to see how they can be otherwise classified.
 Under this definition this country Is ct least three-fourths Anglo-Saxon. In the early days of the thirteen col bnies 100000 Englishmen came to this country, and about an equal number pf African slaves were brought here.

 "I have no idea, however, that Hobson will run for Congress. I do not believe he Is cut out for politics. I rather suspect that he will be in the lecture field for a year or two and then accept an advisory or consulting position with some ship building company.
