ment's time. Large filtering pro-
oesses require large plants. and these
cannot be placed speedily. In the
meanwhile, ard especially throughout
the hot season, all water used for do
nestle purposes should be boiled.
There is no other line OF safety. Mr..
Gray's words are plain and to the
point. He says: "As the result of my
examinations and study of the water
supply, recommend that the water
furnished the city of Birmingh.-a from
Cahaba river be thoroughly filtered,
and thus rendered safe and wholesome
for domestic uses; and IL water Is to
be furnished from Five Mile creek, this
water should also BIO thoroughly Ill
tered" The water in use is. in other
words, not safe and wholesome, and in
the immediate future it should be
boiled before taking.
No doubt the water company will,
for it's own good, speedily put in eff
cient and proper filters. What is for
the good of the consumers will be for
the good of the water company. The
interests of the two are one. 1t will
no more be to the best interests of
the water company to bring in water
that enervates people and creates dis
ease than it will be to people to drink
such water The water company
should be given due and sufficient time
in which to put in approved filters, and
then the water supply will be both
adequate and satisfactory.

Strike in the Euuusta Mills

Ten thousand operatives in the mills
of the Augusta district are idle. They
want higher pay and shorter hours,
and the manufacturers refuse to grant
their demands. This has resulted in
closing every cotton mill in Augusta.
Aiken, Vanclause, Graniteville, War
renvile, Bath. Langley and Clear
water. The strike is said to be In
charge of an experienced union official
from a Northern district, and there
sides to fight to a finish the battle
that union labor has inaugurated. The
Introduction of the union element In
the cotton mills of this section of the
country is to be resisted, and the issue
may be determined in the Augusta
strike. This renders the ssike inter
esting in all the Southern milling dis
tricts. If the strikers win, unionism
will hereafter be factor in the opera
tion of Southern mills, as 1t Is and
long has been in Northern mills.
The chief regrettable feature of any
stubborn strike is the suffering it en-
tails upon women and children, who
arc innocent of acts that brought it
about. There will be great suffering
Of this sort in the Augusta district If
the strike be protracted. as 1t now
seems probable it will be. 1t is not
unreasonable to assume that upon the
10000 strikers fully as many more
persons are dependent-old paople,
women and children, and the suffering
among this number will be very great,
and the good people of Augusta should
leave no stone unturned that will tend
to bring the manufacturers and oper-
atives together again.

President Roosevelt at Charleston.

The reception of the President at
Charleston was enthusiastic and gen.
eral and when he appeared in the
Auditorium on the exhibition grounds
1t was unbounded. There was in it all
the cordiality and warmth that 10000
Threats and faces could furnish. Those
who had anticipated something of a
different nature, il any there be, were
disappointed, for there was not fea-
ture Of the occasion that was not
hearty, spontaneous and patriotic.
President Roosevelt's speech, too,
was framed in an excellent spirit and
In good, true sentences. He began by
showing that he was himself half a
Carolinian and Georgian, and then he
went on, without faint or suspicion of
demagogy, to show how rapidly and
thoroughly the two sections of the
country had come together-how deep
ly each had suffered-how the men
who wore the blue and those who
wore the gray are each alike held in
honor The glory of both is to become
a common heritage, IL 1t has not al
ready reached that stage. We cannot
do better than to repeat one para
graph of the Presidents speech He
said
IAN of us, north and south, can glory
alike In the vaIor of the men who wore
gray. Those were iron times, and only
iron men could fight to its terrible finish
the giant struggle between the hosts of
Grant and Lee. To us of the present day
and to our children and children's chill
dren the valiant deeds, the high endeav-
ors and abuegation of self shown in that
struggle by those who took part therein
will remain forevermore to mark the
levea TO which we in our turn must rise
whenever the hour of the nations need
may come"
This paragraph will live long after
President Roosevelts work is done
and 1t is to be hoped it will sink deer
into the hearts of all sectionalists and
disturbers of the peace wherever they
may be. 1t voices beyond all doubt
the final judgment of all Americans
whose hearts beat true to reunited
and restored country.

Primaries in Minnesota.

| In Minnesota primary election law
has been in operation several years,
and it is giving so great satisfaction
| in that State that other Northwestern
States are preparing to adopt direct
voting by the many instead of under
ground voting by the few. Illinois Is
headed that way, and Illinois certainly
needs 1t. All the States will soon
adopt the primary system because 1t
is in consonance with popular govern
ment and is In fact essential to Its
preservation. Government by court
house cliques Is to be abolished.
In Minnesota party conventions and
caucuses are entirely dispensed with,
and the nomination of candidates Is
thrown directly into the hands OF the
people and out of the hands of self
constituted middlemen. A political
party which cast at least ten per cent
of the total vote at the preceding cleo.
ton may petition the county auditor
for the right to have a primary cleo
ton. and such petition must bear the
signature of at least ten per cent of
the qualified electors. Persons who
desire to run for office must file petit
lions eleven days before the primary
election, signed by at least five per
cent of the total vote cast for the can
didate of their party at the last cleo
ton. The primary election day Is the
first registration day, thus insuring a
pretty full vote, and all political par
ties must hold their primaries on the
same day. The Judge of the primary
hands the voter all the ballots pinned
together, and the voter votes the one
of his choice, returning to the judge
| the others.
This Is a primary election at the
expense of the State, and the Mime
sofa people could not be induced to
repeal the law, because it preserves
the secrecy of the ballot and enables
every voter to participate in the NOM
nation of candidates. And yet Min
nesota has at least two vigorous par
ties. Alabama has but one. The NOM
ination Is final in Alabama; In Min
nesota it is not. And yet in Alabama
the middlemen are saying that the
people should not be permitted to
make their own nominations without
the unsolicited intervention and re-
markable wisdom of themselves. The
servant is greater than his master in
Alabama, or at least he thinks he Is.
He will, however. soon get a lesson
he will long remember.

Filtration of Water Supply.

The proposed county sewer is an
extremely important undertaking, and
1t should be pressed to completion, for
every day emphasizes the need of 1t
In this populous valley. But much
more important is the purity of the
water that $4,000 people are drinking
In this same valley. Samuel L. Gray,
an expert engineer of the highest
standing, says this water, whether 1t
come from Five Mile creek or the
Cahaba river, contains dangerous bac-
terra. and that it should be filtered
before using. This conclusion is not
guess-work. It is based on actual an
alysis, and is, beyond reasonable doubt,
the truth.

EXCELSIOR.

BY Henry W. Longfellow.
The shades of night were falling fast.
As through an Alpine village passed,
A youth who bore, mid snow and ice
A banner with the strange device,
Excelsior!
His brow was sad; his eye beneath.
Flashed like falchion from it's sheath,
The accents of that unknown tongue.
And like silver clarion rung
Excelsior!
In happy homes he saw the light
OF household fires CLEAN warm and bright
Above, the spectral glaciers shone,
And from his lips escaped a groan,
Excelsior!
TRY not the Passv' the old man said;
Ozark lowers the tempest overhead,
The roaring torrent is deep and wide"
And loud that clarion voice replied.
Excelsior!
20 stay" the maiden said, land resi-
Thy weary head upon this breast!'
A tear stood in his bright blue eye.
But stin he answered, with sigh,
Excelsior!
Beware the pine-tree's withered branchl
This was the peasants last Goodnight,
A voice replied. far up the height,
Excelsior!
At break of day, as heavenward
The pious monks of st. Bernard
Uttered the oft-repeated prayer,
A voice cried through the startled air.
Excelsiori
A fr-oxr oil l1xrt he fof f,,f
Half-buried In the snow was found
Still grasping in his hand of ice
That banner with the strange device,
Excelsior! %
There in the twilight cold and gray.
Lifeless. but beautiful. he lay.
And from the sky. serene and far,
A voice fell like falling star,
EXCELSIOR!

CONVENTIONS AND TRlcKERY.

From the Mobile Item.
The Age-Herald says: Those who are
opposed to a state primary really think
that the people canont be trusted-that
the services of political middlemen are
needed, ETC." We think the Age-Herald
is In error. Those who are opposing
primaries are afraid to trust the people
and will use every means to defeat the
peoples will in the matter. The fact is
that no good democrat who desires hon.
est elections and party harmony will be
found opposing a state primary The
convention plan has always been the re-
sort for trucking and political dishon-
esty, and will only be sustained by the
same old ring politicians. who seek to
perpetuate their power by the same old
questionable political methods.

THE PEOPLE PAY THE PRICE.

From the Blocton Messenger.
So long as the people of Alabama are
paying $1.5o each for the privilege Of
voting, why not have a general primary
and give every voter free and untram-
meied expression of his choice? II this
is denied. then tie voter had better have
his $3.50 back in his pocket, for the same
political geniuses that could successfully
count the votes of dead negroes and Ten
nesee mules to occasionally throttle the
wishes of the masses are yet quite equal
to the task of counting out a few white
votes to carry out their own designs In
legislation.

RELIGION OF HUMANITY GROWS.

From the New York Evening Journal.
Cecil Rhodes, creator of the British En-
pire in South Africa, is the latest man
to leave his great fortune to the purposes
of education.
Like Peter Cooper, Johns Hopkins, Ba-
ror de Hirsch, Carnegie, Rockefeller and
a host of others, Rhodes, after life Of
material effect, felt that the best possible
thing he could do with his money would
| be to devote 1t to the improvement of the
human intellect.
| Throughout the entire world, especially
among successful men, the idea is daily
growing stronger that a mans chief duty
| is to his fellow men.
More and more human beings begin to
realize that all of us little creatures fas-
tened to this earth are brothers, and that
the best thing any one of US can do is to
help those struggling here with us.
In the olden days each mans thought
was for his own selfish pleasures here,
and for his own Individual salvation here
after.
Catholic church in the middle ages, these
two stand out above all others:
First, the Catholic church kept alive
| knowledge In an age in which only ignor-
ance reigned except within monastery
walls.
| Second, the church, using conscience as
lever, compelled men to do something
for others at least after death.
The baron who had robbed and MUIR
liberty and of their labor, gave some
thing 20 the poor on his deathbed gave
something to the church, and set free his
slaves that his soul might rest in peace.
The salutary fear. of that fiery future
did much good and transformed many
bloody bandit into a mild philanthropist.
That form of charity based on individ-
ual selfishness and desire for individual
salvation appears to give way in this
more enlightened day to the religion of
humanity based on the real feeling of the
brotherhood of man.
The successful man knows that he
owes his achievements to mis- BRAIN He
desires that other minds should benefit
by his success, and hundreds Of millions
of dollars annually are given away to the
cause of knowledge.
No man can estimate the value to the
world of this tendency, of this outburst
Of the religion of humanity based on a
serse of solidarity. and on moral respon-
sibiiity.
