THOMAS P. REEDS MODEST FEE.
rom the Saturday Evening Post.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
 A man of national reputation had ocoa- sion some months ago to employ the ser vices of Mr. Thomas B. Reed in a case before the United States Supreme Court. He met the ex-speaker in New York and after concluding the arrangements for presenting the case for the corporation which he represented, said to him:
 And now, MT. Reed. I should like to pay you retaining fee at once"
 s'Oh, never mind that now" was the reply; wait until I think 1t over and l shall write to you"
 The man was in Washington when he received MT. Reeds letter. The ex- speaker began by saying that he was "a young fellow in the law business and was afraid of charging too much" and that if 5000 wasn't too much he might send that amount. The rest of the let ter was written in MT. Reeds character istic style of droll humor.
 T wouldn't have baked for a moment at paying fee of s25,OOO." said the corpor- I drew a check and wrote about like this:
 Dear MT. Reed: If the young fellows in the profession are going to be such bears in the market, how are the older ones going make a living? I have taken the liberty of tampering with your bill by enclosing a check for $2500'"
 The next morning the man received the following telegram:
 ''Washington, D. C.-You are altogether too good for this world. T. B. REED"
 Mir. Reed won the case for the corpora ton.

Never reject arbitration.
THE ROAD TO HARMONY.

From the Gadsden Evening Journal
 The Journal, as before stated, is heartily In favor of state primary for nomina- tions for all officers from governor to constable. In Shelby county there are only three officers to be elected, and as the adoption of the new constitution virtually makes Alabama a white state, and Shelby county practically white county, the Journal favors a Demo- cratic primary for all officers to be elect ed in November State Treasurer Smith has declared publicly that he is not afraid of primary, and vouches for state off, cers who are candidates for reelection being on the same line. Then why should other candidates object and why should the partys executive committee object? Let the Democrats all over the state have a voice in the selection of their .candi- dates, and If the opposition, if there should be any select them as they choose, and the Democracy will be propped up by having a ticket which Is the choice of the whole party, and victory will be assured and harmony will prevail.

THE APES OF PERU.
How Monkeys Are Made to Work In
 Peru.
From the Denver Post.

From the Denver Post.
 Perhaps the most interesting creat- ures in Peru are the apes" said Dwight Darlington in the office of Philip Hitch cock, of the Wabash railway, yesterday MT. Darlington has an extensive plan | tation in eastern Peru. He is travelling for pleasure across the continent. For centuries past these remarkable animals have been performing work which is us- ually supposed to require human intel | ligence," continued he. 'Naturalists ac- credit the horse. dog and elephant with | possessing more intellect than all other dumb animals, but believe the Peruvian apes surpass all brutes. In the huge nut forests of my adopted country the apes are of inestimable value. With amazing celerity they pick the rich nuts from the dark trees, saving much time and eX- pense. Men cannot do the work in thrice the time required by the nimble-fngered apes.
 My plantation near the Ucayali river contains TOO acres, of which an even 100 | are in nut trees. have forty apes to do the picking for me. Two native foremen have charge of the hairy-bodied nut gatherers l have huge, comfortable cage for the apes large enough to ac- commodate 100 of them. Into this they march every night. Each morning early, when the paroquets and scarlet flnches begin to scream, the foremen open the doors of the cage ard out troop the apes, chattering merrily. They are permitted to eat and drink for ten minutes and then led off to tie grove selected for the day. Four apes are sent up each tree, and ev- cry quartette has a big basket at the bottom.
 While the foremen sing and play upon their mouth organs, strolling about from tree to tree and noting progress, the apes pluck the nuts with great rapidlty. After several hours the donkey wagons appear with more baskets and remove those all ready loaded with nuts to the bis bins In the storehouse. There is then a brief ces- sation of work.
 Sometimes I go out with my violin and play bit. Our apes in Peru are exceptionally fond of music, and I sup pose all apes are. On my approach they chatter eagerly and group themselves around me. I play tunes of all kinds but never fail to close with something lively and spirited I clap my hands, point to the trees and depart on my mule The apes take the hint, and with the empty baskets seek the unpicked trees and be- gin picking with renewed vigor We always treat them kindly. Pun ishm ent for mischievous conduct is severe but rarely necessary. Sometimes the wild | apes attack the plantation Iii bands and do much harm. The dogs give warning day night. and we shoot the intruders Inercilessly. After they have been re- pulsed and some skilled. we take our apes

Popular Appointment.

Governor Jelks' appointment of MT. James Hillhouse to be assistant mine in- spector to succeed MT. S. M. Meigs, whose term had expired, will prove exceedingly popular. MT. Hillhouse has had charge of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad Company's mines at Adger for some time past and will resign to accept this offi- cial position. He is not only one of the best mining men in the state but he is one of the most widely known men in this district. He has been a loyal Democrat and active worker these many years and few men have been of greater service to his party This is the first time he ever sought an office, and 1t doubt less afforded the governor the highest pleasure in rewarding him.

Boarding Houses.

Birmingham, owing to it's rapidly in- creasing population. and its exceptionally large percentage of young men without families, Is a great boarding house town, said a new conner, "and of course many of these houses are conducted on strict ly first class lines. But l happen to have struck one of the sort where the price was high and the service was poor.
 Sixty dollars a month for a man and wife should get good board, but l paid that amount and while we had fine room the table was skinny and the cook ing bad. The women who kept this boarding house meant well, perhaps, but if so they lacked experience and lacked turn for management Keeping board- CTS must have its business side and no woman can run an acceptable house un- less she has had experience or Is cut out for it"

Bachelors in Congress.

The country will be shocked to hear that twenty-three of it's national | lawmakers have never been married -twenty-three in the House of Repre- sentatives alone-twenty-three out o1 356. This is not 10 per cent, but the question arises, why should there be any per cent at all? Why should not old bachelors be barred, if not by stat. ute, then by public opinion? Why not draw the line at the celibacy that would at it's limit undermine the so- cial foundation?
 Alabama, we are glad to say, sends to Washington no bachelor, but these states do: Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Virginia. The three bachelors from Dixies Land are Spencer Blackburn, Republican, and a lawyer of Winston, where Bull Dur ham tobacco is made; A. F. Lever, a Democrat, and a lawyer of Wallace vile, South Carolina, and Henry D.. Flood, a Democrat, also a lawyer, of Appomattox, Virginia.
 The best known of the other bache- lors are Galusha A. Grow of Pennsyl- of rivers and harbors, who lives at Cleveland, Ohio, and William Sulzer nous except as bachelors. The list Is smaller by one than it would have been if William H. Moody of Massa chusetts had not resigned in order to become Secretary of the Navy.
 | Only nine of the House bachelors are Democrats, and only one lives west of the Mississippi river. They come as a rule from the older states and all come from the original thir. teen states, except those from Ohio Iowa and Illinois, seven all told.
 Some of these bachelors are much too old to reform. There Is Galusha A. Grow, who was Speaker of the House in 1861. A. F. Lever of South Carolina is, however, only 29 years of age, and he may yet get out of his present associations and class. As a rule they are gray and grizzled, and most of them will die bachelors, un- mourned, unhonored and unsung.

tion is by no means singular. Missis- sippi, Louisiana, Delaware and South Carolina did likewise. Alabama did not, but the enemies of Alabama,s constitution get even by declaring that the vote was not like Caesars wife, above suspicion. The form of popu- Jar endorsement was at least ob- served in this State, and it is believed the instrument bears the endorsement of the people.
 In Virginia, on the other hand, it is known that the new constitution would have been rejected. The negro vote would have been cast solidly against 1t, and the dissatisfied Demo crauc vote would have been added, and the instrument would have been voted down. The fifty-fve members of the convention who voted for pro- mitigation either had to repudiate the party promise or see their work thrown out It was a difficult choice. A majority decided that the welfare of the state demanded the adoption of the new constitution, and they therefore accepted the personal haz- ard involved in a disregard of the moral obligation of the Democratic party. It was Hobson's choice-pro- mitigation or nothing.

Supplied Needs.

"The closing exercises or the Birming- ham high school would not be complete without some mention of what the grad uating class has accomplished for the good of succeeding classes" said friend of the school.
 "Feeling strongly the need of reference books on history, they banded together to supply this need, which they did by giving an entertainment, and with the proceeds purchased Harper's Encyclo- pedia of United States History in ten volumes, and a handsome and substantial bookcase in which to keep them. They also purchased Q Standard Unabridged Dictionary and a spectroscope for the science work.
 "Then the third-year class, catching the inspiration, also gave an entertainment With the money thus raised they bought the Variorum Edition of Shakespeare in thirteen volumes, Bartlett's Concordance and Shakespearian Grammar They shave also furnished the science department with the most powerful microscope to be found in this city"

Renresentation Among Democrats.

The absurdities of the convention ists are almost numberless. While one lot of them is opposing State prim- ary because the election expenses of aspirants would be distributed to the newspapers instead of the bosses, an other lot opposes a state primary be- cause it would not permit representa- tion of negroes and other Republicans and of the Populists.
 Gan anything be more absurd than the representation of negroes and other non-Democrats in Democratic coun- cil? And yet absurd as it is some con- ventionists are demanding that a Democratic convention be called in or der that the Republicans and Popu- lists may be represented in it. Such a convention will be even less Demo cratic and more absurd than strictly white primary would be.
 A Democratic convention or a Dem ocratic primary does not admit of the presence or representation of any but Democrats, any more than a Bap- tist council calls for anybody but Bap- lists. The proposition that two and two make four is not plainer or more unquestionable. Because Republicans of all colors and Populists were given representation in Democratic councils in ante-convention days is no reason at all why they should be given representation now. The rot tenness and crookedness of those days were wiped out by the new constitu- ton, and each Democrat is now, not only the equal of every other Demo crat-even of a boss-but all repre- sentation of Republicans and Populists becomes. absurd. A Democratic coun cil IS now to be wholly and purel! [ Democratic, and the best form of
 such a council is a State primary
 which permits all Democrats to act in person directly, because such ac tion pledges the actor to stand by and behind the adopted ticket.

Vinemont.

"A great deal of money is being in- vested in and around Vinemont and that section will soon be one of the garden spots of Alabama" said 2 man who lives there.
 "Vinemont is about five miles from Cullman and Is probably the highest point on the Louisville and Nashville railroad The water there is noted for it's purity and fever is unknown. The population of vinemont is composed mostly of thrifty northern people,
 "The large and well appointed hotel owned by MT. John Moffat of Birming- ham, has been leased for three years by MT. A. E. Barncard and will be conducted as a first class family resort house
 MT. Al Campbell of Birmingham has purchased ten acres of fertile land at Vinemont. He will improve 1t by setting it in fruit. All the fruit farms are pro- ductive and profitable and MT. Campbell will find his investment in every way satisfactory"

Exnositions in General.

The Charleston Exposition is ended and the immediate money results are of the customary sort. The invest ment was not a profitable one, and the public spirited citizens of the city by the sea will largely foot the bills This is the common story of exposi. tions. None of them bring in the money they cost. None of them are expected, in fact, to do this.
 But these meetings of producers and consumers do yield large returns indirectly in the long run, and no doubt Charleston will come out win ner in the next census. The city needed a tonic, shaking up, and it got it. It has been well advertised; it has attracted many persons who are looking for opportunities of invest ment; it showed what the industrial South is doing, and it renewed the tra- ditional hospitality of the Southern people. All of these things are bread cast upon the waters that will return after many days.
 Such expositions have their value They are occasionally necessary in an economic sense. They show at least what the ambition of the people who plan and conduct them is. They are really evidences of progress. South Carolina has become a great cotton manufacturing State. It aspires to be the chief cotton manufacturing State, and Charleston is it's one great port. It needed an exposition, and so one was held. In the long run it will be glad it did make the effort. The present outcome in dollars and cents is no test of the final result, which means more mills, more progress, more prosperity. The story of Charleston is and will be the story of all other expositions held in this coun- try. They are expensive, but they yield good returns later on.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-06-08

The increases are based upon the gross receipts of the offices named, and they show very plainly that Ala bama is in a prosperous condition. The lesser towns of the State are espe- cially prosperous. The one exception is Attalla, and it should either build a cotton mill or induce its farmers to establish truck farms or chicken yards, or all three, at once. There is no need of having an unprosperous town in this State while these opportu- mites remain wide open, for we cannot have too many cotton mills, truck farms, or chicken yards. We need twenty times as many of either one of the three industries as We have, and town that will not promote at least one of them should not complain when it's business begins to recede.

MED BRACE TALKS ABOUT CONTEMPLATED
 DEVELOPMENT IN BIRMINGHAM DISTRICT

here, and I happen to know of half many in prospect.
 I was told yesterday of a new com pany in course of organization, which already has options on coal and ore lands, to construct in the near future two large iron furnaces and adjunct manufacturing plants. The company l am told, is to have something like two millions of cash capital. practically all of which has been subscribed.
 Besides this we all know that the wire rod mill people of Bnsley have purchased lands and are preparing to build furnaces and a steel plant, in order to have full supply of material for their wire rcd mill without being dependent upon other. concerns.
 Another news story of importance is the determination of very wealthy northern mercantile concern to establish a house in Birmingham, employing about a half million of capital in it's building and stock.
 Indeed there are numerous manufac- turing and mercantile concerns, large end small, slated for Birmingham in the almost immediate future. And with the completion Of the office buildings already under construction and that one which has been arranged for. several large in- surance companies and ether concerns are to establish and maintain general southern offices here. This means largely increased pay rolls and many new high salarisd esidents.

A STATE PRIMARY.
From the Prattville Progress

From the Prattville Progress
 One by one the prominent men in dif- ferent parts of the state announce them selves in favor of Democratic primary to select the nominees of the Democra tic party for this year. The Progress does not think the proposition admits of a doubt but that the people at large arc in favor of holding primary for selecting Democratic nominees to the offices to be filled this year The mass of Democrats have asked for a primary, and we do not concede the right to any body of men to withhold it or to so change it's work ings as to practically cut off the good ef fects of such proceeding to nominate candidates.
