A TIMELY LESSON.

A recent incident which occurred in Bessemer affords a good lesson, not only for that city, but for others. A Bessemer and went over to Birmingham to get them. There he was told that it would be ninety days before he could get them. and that no one else in that section could do such work. The Bessemer man went home and gave the job to a home wood- working establishment. with the result that he soon had as fine doors "as can be seen in Bessemer," says The Work man.
 That, as we said in the beginning, was mingham firm could have done the work at once. the probabilities are that the Bessemer people would have continued to go to the larger city for fine doors. but when 1t was found necessary to make them at home, 1t was done. This is not only lesson for Bessemer, but there are other towns which might take it home. That is not the only town or city in Ala bama which depends on other sections for what might be made at home
 The Advertiser has spoken so frequently on this subject that it looks like thresh- ing over old straw to continue to discuss it. but 1t is a shame that so much of the fine wood of our own State should go to waste while we buy all we want in other cities and ship it hundreds or thousands of miles. That is not the way to make a city or community prosperous.

RoosEvELT's ANIMALIry.

The President is now in the South and ir great fettle. It was my rrivilege to see and exchange gcetings with him at the Pennsylvania Railroad Station when he departed from Washington. His ex- traordinary vitality. his remarkable phys ical vigor, impressed me more than ever before. Judging by every appearance. MT. Roosevelt cod.d at the moment hold his own in slugging-match with the Rt. Hon. John Lawrence Sullivan, if this illustrious classic nero of the proud Bostonians were now in his prime.
 It was not without significance that MT. Roosevelt entered the station through the baggage entrance. As he did so, swing Ing along in those giant strides so char acteristic of him. there was forced upon my mental view recollection of the as sassination of one of his predecessors just inside the main entrance to that same station something more than one and twenty years before. Ten minutes before, had pointed out to an Alabama friend the precise spot whereon rested the head of the fallen President after Guteau fired the shot heard round the world" The thought made me slightly nervous

It turns out that there are two sides to the question of betrayal of the Demo- crats in New York. It Is very certain that if the vote in three upstate coun- ties had been as they were in the last gubernatorial election, Mir. Coler would have been elected and New York would have been placed in the Democratic col umn. While Democrats gained nearly everywhere else in the State. they lost where ex-Senator Murphy, Judge Herrick and Smith Weed were all powerful. These men are bitter enemies of ex-Senator Hill. but they should have been loyal to their party. no matter what they may think of him.

ANOTHER ONE COMES TO LIFE

One of the notable resurrections re- sulting from the late election is George Fred Williams of Massachusetts. year or so ago George had an attack of dis gust because the Democrats of his State showed evidences of returning to Demo- cratic principles. George didn't quit the party, not he. It went off and left him Bittzng on a stump, is about what he fhinks was done. He felt badly and went out behind the barn to think, and to wait 4or the party to come around and hunt s'more disgusteder'' than he was before. He intimates that he has been betrayed by somebody or something. He hints that MT. Gaston promised to run the party as he. Williams, wanted it run, and didn't No it. Hence the present whatness
 George is out in an open letter-very wide open-in which he talks about "the kcry clement" as he designates those who refuse to be longer bound to the chariot wheels of Bryanism, and tells what he is going to do to them and with them. This as part of his deliverance:
 II snined whether this sham Democratcy is to prevail or whether the sturdy spirit of 1896 is to dominate the National Con- vention. Those who have stood so vali- antly in this State for the progressive Democracy of Bryan must be in control of the organization in 1904, and must have the honors of victory.
 Is not this almost funny? No man did more to demoralize the Democracy of Massachusetts and probably of other New England States than did this George Freddy. So much was this demoraliation en evidence that the Republican plurality of 2s,OoO in 1899 went up to 17S.OOo in 1896. and nearly S2, 900 in 1900. That is the way things have gone in the Old Bay State eince ''the sham Democracy" as this blatant demagogue calls the genuine De- mocracy was set aside and men of Fred ny's calibre took charge of the party. He and ''the progressive Democracy of Bry- hn," about which he rants, have made it almost farce for the party to put out a ticket in a State where the Democratic vote fell off T, GOO in four years.
 If the real Democrats of Massachusetts care anything for success or for princi- pie, they will give George Fred and his kInd seat in the extreme rear of the political synagogue and tell them to re- main quiet until they are ready to repent their abandonment of Democracy and their attempt to substitute a new and dangerous policy. For men like him to talk about what Democrats must do is fast reaching the stage of impartlnence.

OF BUTLER's BLOOD.

When I made my first and excessively green appearance in Washington. pre- cisely nineteen years ago. this good No vember day, Beast Butler was a mem- ber of Congress from Massachusetts. and for him I felt all of the average South ern boys relentless hate. It is interesting to note that Buffers blood now returns to Congress in the person of his grand son, Butler Ames of Lowell. who, thanks to a local Democratic quarrel, has been elected as Republican. Older newspa- per readers will remember that Ben. But Ter was the first Governor of Massachu- setts to whom Harvard refused the hon. orary degree Of LL D. Just about the time of the Harvard commencement in the year of Buffers governorship. he was gIorying h the filth of the notorious Tewkesbury almshouse scandal and Haunting in the face of outraged decency what he claimed to be purse made from the skin of a Tewkesbury pauper. That together with Buffers malodOrous past was too much for Harvard. It was ther that this grandson of Butler. the Con- gressma n-elect Ames. was ready to en ter College Harvard. in the circum stances being impossible to him, he ob. tained appointment to West Point.

In Poughkeepsie. N. Y, the polls closed at 5 o'clock, and twenty-one minutes later the result was announced in the evening paper. This was possible because of the use of voting machines which announced the result correctly almost as soon as the polls closed. When we remember that it takes hours to count and tabulate the result in a ward or precinct in Alabama, we can begin to understand and appre- ciate the great saving of time by these machines. and. added to that is the fact that they report the vote just as it is cast

THE FALL OF PRITCHARD.

That odd fish, Senator Jeter Pritchard of North Carolina. whom the hapless lily whites of Alabama placed on exhibition at their State Convention in Birmingham last September is soon to become "a statesman out of job," as the blasphem- ing atheist Ingersoli once said of him. self. Praise the lamb for Pritchard' z of saving it? He is now pouting Pritch- ard-pouting because the National Re publican organization left him to wax cold in his own impotency in the North Carolina campaign. Sore and grieving he came hther to see the President hearing of which the President went to bed early in his private car at the rail road station.
 Since the boiling of the powerfully un- clean political pot in North Carolina threw Pritchard to the top, he has taken the keenest delight in traducing the bet ter element of Southern people. Poor Pritchard-he is done for now.

MoNTaoMERY's WATER POWER
A Cheap and Reliable Force.

Mobile Register.
 An event in the history of Montgomery was recorded Monday when the city lighting plant was operated by the power of Tallassee Falls on the Tallapoosa River, twenty-five miles in direct line from Montgomery. At the falls a power plant of modern type has been erected. and thence the power is conveyed to the city by wire. There Is sufficient power gener- ated at the plant to operate the electric lighting plant. the street railways. and have a surplus for sale to other manu- featuring concerns. The work has been in hand for several years and has been delayed by many obstacles: but Is said now to be in every way satisfactory in it's results. The water supply at ,Tallas- see is abundant and the plant can be en- larged demand for power increases. The problem of cost has been carefully worked out and the assurance is given that Montgomery will have from this source the cheapest well as a reliable force. This will give the city and its in dustries a great advantage over other cities that have to rely upon coal only for steam power. The outlook. therefore, is full of promise. and it Is likely that Montgomery will soon take high rank as an industrial centre.

THE CASE OF BRAGG.

General Bragg is here. You know Gen. eral Bragg-tfat excellent man of Wis consin who loved him for the enemies he has made!' His wife is here with him Presumably both of them are wiser than General in Havana the not altogether original or chaste opinion that one might as well try to make a silk purse out of a sows ear as good citizens out of Latin peoples" which opinion. she; good gabbler, repeated to some friend who told reporter"
 General Bragg was a good Democrat once; he seems to be poor Republican now. But the President esteemed him good enough for the very desirable place of Consul General at Havana. Soon af- ter assuming his consular duties, as you know, he got silk purses and sows ears in his ink. with the result that he is to be banished to China. where he will find the ghost of his indiscretion confronting him at every turn. It Is curious how breaks" follow consular and diplomatic officers around the earth. Good consuls are of necessity good diplomats. for the most important work of a consul Is in diplomacy; and for the consul there is one fixed rule. Be good If you can't be good. be very careful"
 The chances are that General Bragg g stay in the foreign service will be very limited. He has made the one blunder necessary to cause the fatal word ''sus- pect" to be written opposite his name in the Department of State. If Demo. crat be elected President. what a lot of suspects there will be!
