The Rest Cure.

Quiet and warmth are the medicines
of the four footed philosopher. If a
dog is ailing, he rolls himself into a
ball in a warm corner and eats little or
nothing till he is well. Many times rest
is the only medicine needed by the sick.
but we seldom follow this example.
The biped loses the instinct Of the ami
NAL. He fumes, frets, takes stimulants
and medicaments and gives no'chance
to the recuperative forces Of nature

HIS Maiden Name.

1t is said that at certain seasons in
Scotland when the fishing is not very
brisk the fishermen act as caddies and
are easily recognized by their costume,
a woolen Jersey and trousers braced up

his name by the gentleman for whom

Court.

The first week of the Court of
Common Pleas resulted in little
work for the jury-only two Verdicts
rendered.
The first was an action for dam
ages by John Watts vs.. Southern
Railway Company, from forest fire,
near Edmund. The case was
brought by Messrs. Graham and
Crawford. Mr.. Thompson appeared
for the railroad. The verdict was
$50.
The other case was Eudocia J.
Mitchell vs.. John J. Bars, for pos
session of realty, brought by Messrs.
Muller & Sturkie. The defense was
represented by Messrs. E6rd &
Dreher and Crawford. The verdict
was in favor of plaintiff and was
rendered on Saturday. This case
was first tried about three years ago,
when the verdict was for the defend
ant.
The third week opened Monday,
but nothing could be transacted until
after the Columbia train arrived, be-
cause of absence of some of the
attorneys. The case of Albert E
Spires vs.. Seaboard Air Line Railway
Co., came up at 8 p. m. This is an
action for damages brought by
Messrs. Graham and Crawford, and
defended by Messrs. E6rd & Dreher.
The verdict was for 5000, rendered
yesterday afternoon.
Following this came the case of
W. 81. Gibbs & Co., vs.. J. Marshall
Shealy, with Mr.. J. P. Thomas for
plaintiff and Messrs. Muller & Sturkie
for defendants. The trial was begun
yesterday afternoon, and this morn
ing the arguments are in progress.
The case will go to the jury By
recess time.

A General Primary.

The Age-Herald has written each
member of the State Democratic Elk
ecutive Committee, requesting an ex-
preston of views as to whether they
advocate or oppose State primary.
To this request several have respond
ed. The Age-Herald has confidence in
the fairness and wisdom of the men
who compose the State Democratic
Executive Committee, and feels as
sured that in this important matter of
party law they will be moved by con-
victions that are for the best interests
of the Democrats of Alabama.
In the discussion of this question
now so prominent before the people of
Alabama, The Age-Herald wishes to
emphasize the fact that 1t respects the
honest views of both the advocates
and opponents of the primary plan,
and its columns are open to full and
frank discussion of the case.
In this day people think and act for
themselves, and are moved by reason
and not by abuse. The advocates of
the primary plan in Alabama have
faith in the justice and wisdom of
their cause. If primary is good for
a county, why is it not good for the
counties comnrisinr a. Congressional
district? If it is wise to select Con-
gressmen by this method, why not
select a Governor, Secretary of State,
Attorney General and on down the line
to constable? What is right and con-
sistent will triumph in the end. Let
discussion continue.

Poll Tsx,s and Votes.

None of the predictions of the OPP
ponets of the new constitution have
been verified-none of them stand
acknowledged, but each in turn has
been shown to be baseless. This finds
new exemplification in the poll tax re-
turns for the present year. 1t was
freely predicted that voluntary pay
ment of a poll tax, provided for by
the new constitution, would deprive
the public schools of handsome reva-
nue.. 1t will do nothing of the kind.
The revenue from poll taxes last
year was S255,000 This was the last
year of the old constitution and of
compulsory payment of poll taxes. 1t
was also the high water mark of such
payments. In the first year of the
new constitution the returns already
made to the State Auditor show pay
ments that foot up $23S,000. The diff
ference ON the first day of next Octo-
Der between payments of poll taxes
on the compulsory plan and on the
voluntary plan will be small, and it
may disappear altogether.
The free payment of poll taxes as
a prerequisite to voting is credit to
the State. These payments Indicate
vote exceeding 10000, which is a
larger vote by 10000 than Governor
Sanford received, and larger vote
than has been honestly cast in the
State since the war.

TWO GENTLEMEN FROM MOBILE,

From the washington Times.
Two prominent citizens of Mobile, Ala,
were seen in the lobby of the Shoreham
last evening. Mr. Edward L. Russell,
counsel for the Mobile and Ohio Railroad
and Mr.. ]. r. Rich, a successful and pop
ular lawyer and former Mayor of the
Alabama seaport.
Mr. Russell has almost as many person.
al friends in Washington at in his home
town, having been called here often on
business during the past ten years. His
ability as railroad man is fairly equal
ed by his gifts as raconteur. On be-
ing asked for statement of his views
as a Southern Democrat, Mr.. Rich said:
II will cite you to the McAllister reso-
luton, passed by the Mississippi Legis-
lature, as a sign of the times. 1t shows
how weary a large element of the South
ern people have grown of populistic al
liances. That Mississippi should be the
first to throw off the letters was sur
prising perhaps, but there had been a
growing discomfort In that state with the
conditions that had produced so much
disaster to the Democratic party. 1 do
not know whether there will be enough
of conservatism and political sanity
shown to bring the party back to its
old moorings, but IL the leadership that
dictated the Chicago platform is still to
prevail then we may look forward to the
indefinite rule of the Republicans"

ON THE PICKET LINE.

From the Mobile Item.
The ring will struggle to the last ditch
but the fiat has gone forth for honest
elections and the people are on the picket
line. There is a great lesson in the pres
ent agitation of the demand for primaries
as the entering wedge to the reform that
was promised. The people are determine
ed that ballot box stuffing and false
counting shall be stopped, they are also
determined to select candidates by a d.
rect vote. and to stop the convention
methods of sales and swaps The con-
duct of the state Democratic committee
from the first call for the convention and
every step as it progressed has been to
hold the ring intact, and to continue the
same fraudulent methods that the con-
stitution was intended to mend. The
claim that there is no authority for call
ing primaries. is only subterfuge, and
the committee cannot afford to ignore
the almost universal demand of the peo-
pie. The primaries will reunite the party
and once more place the state under the
government of the people.

Southern Cities.

'This is my first visit to Birmingham.
and l am most favorably impressed with
the city," said Mr.. Newton p. Heston,
purchasing agent of the Satboard Air
Line, with headquarters at Portsmouth.
What strikes me especially is the regu-
lar plan by which the city was laid out
In this respect Birmingham reminds one
of my native city, Philadelphia The
streets here are we'll graded and we'll
made and the cement sidewalks help to
make the city attractive Atlanta is a
very representative city, nut In certain
features Birmingham Is ahead of 1t.
Norfolk is perhaps the most metropli-
tan city in the south. 1t Is now being
called Little New York" Norfolk was
slow In its growth and in its ways up to
five or six years ago, but 1t has a move
on 1t now that makes strangers marvel.
Portsmouth, opposite Norfolk, is not
growing and looks dead compared with
the other town. Richmond is a solid
beautiful city, but in course of time
Norfolk will get ahead of it in popula-
ton, as it is already ahead in city-like
style.
'I lived in Roanoke, Va, some years
ago when it had only population of
$500. 1t has today $4,000.
Coming back to Birmingham one
need not have much imagination to
picture a city of 100000 population in ten
or fifteen years. provided it gets up-to-
date in the matter of annexation. The
Greater Birmingham will have, 1 am
sure 175OOO people when the next census
is taken,''

We are not in the first division.
Rocky, sterile New Hampshire, with
no natural resources-no coal-no iron
no cotton, outranks us heavily, and
so does Louisiana, and Maine and Lit
tie Rhody. Even Nebraska, new
State comparatively speaking, is far
ahead of us.
We must get into the first division
before another census comes around,
and in order to do that every county
should help. Every county should
establish a cotton mill. The mineral
district will do its share of cotton
manufacturing also. The entire State
must wake up, and pull together i'll
order to give Alabama higher rank
in the Industrial lists. The first diyis-
ion is where we belong, and 1t IS
where we can readily be If we pull
together and pull hard and long.
