THE USES OF MILLIoNAIRES
They are an Index to the Prosperity
 of a Country.

Andrew Carnegie's "The Empire of Busi-
 ness"
 The bees of hive do not destroy the honey-making bees, but the drones. It will be great mistake for the commun- ity to shoot the millionaires, for they are bees that make the most honey. and con- tribute most to the hive even after they have gorged themselves full. Here is remarkable fact, that the masses of the people in any country arc prosperous and comfortable just in proportion there are millionaires. Take Russia, with it's population little better than serfs. and living at the point of starvation upon the meanest possible fare. such fare as none of our people could or would eat, and you do not find one millionaire in Russia, always excepting the Emperor and a few nobles who own the land, owing to their political system. It is the same to a great extent in Germany. There are only two millonaires known to me in the whole German Empire In France, where the people are better off than iu~Germany, you cannot count one half dozen million aires in the whole country. In the old home of our race. in Britain. which is tho richest country in all Europe-the richest. country in the world save one, our own-there are more mtllionaires than in the whole of the rest of Europe, and its people are better off than in any other. You come to our own land; we have more millionaires than in all the rest of the world put together, although we have not one to every ten that Is re- puted so. have seen list of supposed 'millionaires prepared by a well-known lawyer of Brooklyn. which made me laugh, as 1t has made many others. I saw men rated there as millionaires who could not pay their debts. Many should have had A cipher cut from their $1, GOO, 900. Some time ago 1 sat next Mir. Evarts at dinner. and the conversation touched up- on the idea that men should distribute their wealth during their lives for the public good. One gentleman said that was correct. giving many reasons, one of which was that. of course. they could not take it with them at death.
 Well" said MT. Evarts, "I do not know about that. My experience as a New York lawyer is that. somehow or other. they do succeed in taking at least four-fifths of it." Their reputed wealth was never found at death.
 Under our present conditions the mill lionaire who tolls on is the cheapest ar ticle which the community secures at the price 1t pays for him. namely. his shelter clothing and food"

The City Councils Duty,

Editor The Advertiser:
 A review of the past seems pertinent in connection with events present. Did not the City Council of Montgomery make d. contract with the Capital City Water Company which was a poor contract? Was not. litigation, loss Of time, money and good feeling the price of getting out of that scrape? And did not the City Council finally have to get possession of the water system to throttle that corpo- ration, even at the expense and risk of shouldering much disputed and certain ly .a very doubtful problem?
 And did not the City Council make such contracts along the street railway line. that ali the agitation and best ef- forts of after Councils failed to amelio- rate in the slightest degree our present deplorable street railway situation?
 Did not the City Council make a. con tract recently with the gas people the present light company which brought down q storm of comment and opposition and upon which much effort was spent to have the same repealed-after It was too late?
 Now, in view of this splendid record are we, the merchants of this city, go- ing to be passive while the crowning blunder of the city's history Is about to transpire? The business men Of this city should make it their business to see that this latest blunder now developing will be thwarted while it Is time. The ownership of the gas plant and also the electric plant will give into the hands pr the present one company the most. inl- portant and expensive item of business existence for many years to come with no hope of relief. ~
 The improved methods and conditions which enable the company, now operat- ing. to reduce its price for city arc lights from s74 to S51 should also afford great reduction to the consumer generally.
 EmphaticaIly the rate should be re- Merchant.

Incredible. But True.

The remarkable facts in the life of Cecil Rhodes--as cited in Mir. Hensman s new biography issued by the Harpers-- his phenomenal rise in wealth and power, recall what Scott said about Napoleon, that an adequate life of the Emperor would be "the most wonderful book which the world ever read-a book in which ev- cry incident shall be incredible, yet strict ly true" This characterizes in a measure the life of Rhodes. As to his successor. it is said that some South-Africans fa- vor Dr. Jameson; but that the Raid" will probably prevent his being given any responsibility beyond the furthering of the railway development of the country which it is assumed will be controlled by him. Rhodes true connection with the famous raid is related authoritattvely in Hensman's biography.

Hastings Bailey in May Smart Seat
 certain man of letters entertained at dinner d number of eminent contempord- ries. Several of the courses had been served before it became obvious that Pro lessor Smythe and Professor Browne, who were seated side by side. were ap- parently oblivious of each\ others pres ence. while assiduously devoting them selves to the viands before them.
 Professor Smythe. being rather sen sitive man, presently became cognizant of the attention he was inviting on him. self. Therefore. crushing his enmity for the time being. he turned to his adver- sary. and, in a most engaging manner, said:
 Browne my head rings; can you ac- count for itY:
 For a moment Professor Browne 5 brows contracted, while courtesy and animosity contended. Then he smiled in- diligently, as he replied:
 Naturally. It is hollow.
 The silence became oppressive. Finally |. was broken by Professor Smythe. who asked:

 "Ah." effectively. ''so l thought. It is cracked"'
 And each philosopher applied himself diligently. to the course before him.

GENERAL FORREST
A New Biography of >the Great
 Leader.

This military biography of the brilliant Confederate cavalry leader has been Wflt- ten under peculiarly advantageous con ditions by Captain Mathes, whose study of his subject has been searching and comprehensive. General Forests lack or military training or experience before the civil war invests his career with special interest. His escape from Fort Donei- son. his brilliant raids. and the part ne took at Shiloh, Chattanooga, Murirees- boro and Chickamauga are accurately de- scribed in themselves and in their relation to the general military operations. The questions suggested by the name of foft Pillow are discussed with a candor and fairness that would have been difleult immediately after the event. The opera lions in Tennessee and Forrest surrend- CT at Gainesville close the record or ac- tive military operations. The final yeaes of his life are summarized with compar- ative brevity As military critic has said 'Forrest's career teaches that the genius which makes men great soldiers. is not to be measured by any competitive examination in the science of war. Whle this biography, therefore, has an unusual interest in it's illustration of the possl- Utilities of the untrained volunteer. the author on the other hand, does nor Iali into the not uncommon error or under, rating the importance oI education ana training in military as in other affairs.

It's "Spring Going" Now.

It's Spring going" all right at pres
ent. The wind that accompanied the
last snow storm played havoc with the
snow, piling it up in drifts in places
and then again sweeping spots bare.
ThiSresulted in a combination that is
not favorable to wheels or runners. One
man who had a trip of several miles
ahead of him in the city and vicinity
started out with wheels, but after going
three miles telephoned back for his run
ners and waited until they could be
sent to him He found that he could
get about, especially in the city, much
better on runners. But that was Thurs
day and there was a change, yesterday.
Wheels went better and We're much more
numerous Some of the country roads
were good for wheels and others good
| her runners, so it was chiefly matter
H of taste.
/ The snow of course helped out the
/ lumbermen quite a bit Fair work has
| been done with the wagon sledS up to
, the last rain storm. That was about
as heavy in the woods as in this section.
| 1t is thought, however, that the last
snow helped things out. If the sleds
can be kept going a couple of weeks or
50 longer, the bulk of the cut will prob
ably be landed for most of the lumber
men plan to break camp about the first
of April.
