VALUATION OF LANDS.

The Wilcox Progressive Era has this to say on subject which must some day be settled by the people or authori- ties of Alabama
 Perhaps what has held down Wilcox County and the State of Alabama as much as anything else, is the low as- easements of land. With it being assess ed as 1t is, of course the tax rate is much higher than what 1t would be if the property was given in at anything like it's value Some States have rem edied this by grading all its lands, the best being put in the first grade, the second best in second grade, the third best in the third grade. the sorriest in the fourth grade and the tax rate on | each being fixed by legislation and made | uniform throughout the State. In every State where this plan has been tried | land values have increased, and so far as we know no State has ever cared to change to any other plan. We believe the subject of sufficient importance to inter- est cur legislators and wonder why 1t has not received their attention before.
 It is notable evidence of the conserv- ative habits of the people of Alabahma that no more equitable plan for the tax ation of land has been adopted than the one which now obtains. As the law now stands the assessor in each county has practically the power to assess all real estate according to his own estimate of it's value. according to the best judg- ment the assessor can form upon infor- nation. inspection or otherwise" as the law reads, and under this statute each assessor can put a different valuation on lands of the same quality. True, there is board in each county which passes on the assessments, but that board can do little more than correct errors. It can raise or lower the assessments, but 1t has no better guide in this than the asses sors had, and has no authority to grade the lands. The average valuation of lands in l90O, as finally returned for tax | ation, was about $2.63. That is more than some of it is worth. of course, but it is far below the value of other lands. The highest valuation in any county was about $6 per acre. which is half or one third it's value
 In some States, as The Era says, and We believe Ohio is one of them. there is State Board whose duty it is to hold an- nual meetings tor possibly bienniaD, for the purpose of grading and valulng the lands of the State, These grades are in- tended to designate the real value of the lands and are uniform throughout the State. The valuations are corrected at each meeting and all the lands in any grade must he taxed at the same tig- ures While 1t is possible that some in- equality and hardship may result from this system 1t has the advantage of be- ing uniform, if properly carried out, and

Letters to the Editor.
Let Us Reason Together. ,

Editor The Advertiser
 It Is unfortunate that there should nave arisen In business circles diverg- ence of opinion regarding the early clos Ing movement. and the attendent prejtt- from.
 De deplored and regretted. yet there can pc but one conclusion and that is that the parties refusing to join in this popu- lar movement are arraying themselves In direct opposition to the welfare and pleas iire of large class of fellow citizens who are deserving of the small favor which IS asked.
 In every city of any size and even in small communities 1t is customary dur ing the hot summer months to inaugu- ste a o'clock closing movement, and 1t IS one which receives not only the recog- milton, but the approval. of the general prove any exception to this general rule or custom? It Is not claimed that other cities do not have the same class Of trade that 1t Is urged must be waited upon af- he unfounded and absurd. Why, may we ask. should not the public in Montgom- cry accommodate itself to custom which receives such general recognition in other places. and Is 1t to be contended that we should adopt 2 policy both selfish and short-sighted?
 Six o'clock closing will afford an op- portunity for recreation and pleasure to the tired and hard-worked saiespeople. and any assertion to the contrary is not only not well taken, but it is on the face of 1t utterly absurd. Why would every salesman and saleswoman in this city be so enthusiastically and strongly in favor of such movement if 1t did not bring them these things which they so much need, namely recreation and an opportu- nity to avail themselves of the pleasure of exercise in the fresh evening air.
 In this article we nave endeavored to refrain from personalities vet we are aI- most tempted to say that there is a false ring about proposition to close at F o'clock in the day and refusal to enter into general agreement for d o'clock closing hour. We would exclaim. Con sistency. thou art a jewell and if it be prejudicial to business to close at G. 1t can be no more so than to close at 12, noon.
 Let us at least have eandor and hon. esty about this matter. and If there he any who are not willing to accord to the hard-working salespeople the rights which they deserve, and which receive recogni- tion elsewhere, let them not seek to shei- ter themselves behind a false premise. but rather let them come boldly out and acknowledge that without cause they are which will work good to so many. Indignation almost overcomes discre- tion when we think of the privilege and pleasure which is being needlesSly denied. Not only men but women fired out with a long day of hard work. pallid from the strain that Is put on them, must undergo this treatment and suffer from its result
 Let reason assert itself. Let self assum- cd judgment and imposed authority &C., knowledge itself wrong, and yielding to the dictates of humanity and the prompt ings of better spirit, lend themselves to movement which has for its object and serving and needy.

ADVICE TO MIR. BRYAN.
After Roasting MT. Cleveland, Bryan
 is Taken Up,

Henry Watterson in Louisville Courier
 Journal
 Mir. Bryan should for a moment lay aside the scepter of party leadership ere it slips from his rgasp. He should put on his thinking cap. and, having divested his mind of all surplusage of vanity. self confidence, pride of opinion, he should commune with himself. If he should do this his thoughts might perhaps take this turn: Although I am not President of the United States, 1 have done fairly well for man of my years. I went to the national convention of 1896 an illpaid newspaper writed and 1 came away it's nominee. From that day to this l have been popular idol Money has come to me in sufficient quantity to make me in- dependent and comfortable. if not afflu- ent. I have done my best for an un- prosperous cause and have lost at least the concrete things which appear to be the objective points-if not the underly- ing springs-of political activity. 1 be- lleve that from first to last l was right. shall always think this. But 1 agree that there are more ways than one for catching a rabbit, and, as it seems that my way has not caught him, l will let some one else try his way. l am q con structive not a destructive, and 1 will not risk my popularity and influence with my own people nor wreck their future and my future by breeding quarrels and making issues. l will continue to help them all I can. 1 will go to the next na- 
 fences, to help mend the breaches. to help bind up and heal the wounds. l will go there with love in my heart and smiles on my face, and I will take off my hat to the boys and I will say to them: I thank you for all you have done for me 1 may not be able wholly to agree with you in everything, that you are intending to do and to say-but I am with you heart and soul. and 1 will go with you, even if you go to perdition!"
 That is in nutshell the wisdom of Mir Bryan's situation. We think it Is also it's integrity. It requires considerable self-denial but no abasement; consider able generosity, but no renunclation. We know all about what may be said on the other side and by way Of rebuttal. There Is good deal to be said, too. MT. Bryan should disdain 1t. He should rise above It. In the great affairs of life, and these are supremely great affairs since they may involve the destinies of a nation, the crown of glory comes to the unsel- fish hero who forgets his own griefs, who scorns revenges, who makes sacrifces as, 10, the history of the world, from Christ on Calvary to Lee at AppomattoX!
 Mir. Bryan has a great opportunity be- fore him. Admiring his talents, respect ing his character. agreeing with him in many things-wholly approaching the pe- culiar personal aspects which environ his exceptional relation to public affairs and public men--we address him an older, not better, Democrat: reminding him that as there weer brave men before and after AgamGmnon, so there shall be Dem- ocrats when he and the poor writer of these imperfect lines. have had their fling and hed them where the missiles blow!

noI1pr.E GOLDEN SYMBOL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses ceT- tain signs 10 denote the relative standing and merit of the whole field or newspaperdon' witch comes under It's notice. and one of these signs is the mystic symbol t01 denoting golden" which stands for high quality. and is thus explained:
 '.Advertisers value this paper more for the class and quality of It's circulation than for the mere number of copies printed.'
 Such papers are credited with a single sym boi; but there is a higher grade. according to this standard authority, which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY, and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL t0@I to describe adequately their standing.
 The Advertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol T00l and is the only pafer 60 distinguished in this section of the Hotith.

CROMWELL, WASHINGTON AND
 LEE

The proposition of Charles Francis Ad- ans that the government erect in Wash ington a statue to Gen. Robert F.. Lee has naturally caused much comment, and it Is an evidence of the decadence of sec tional bitterness that many of the most influential and representative newspa- pers of the North speak favorably of the project All of them recognize the high character of Lee, as well as his military the idea that "rebel' shall be honored by the government. Among these object ors is The Kansas City Journal, not a Northern paper. it is true, but as a gen. eral thing as bitterly sectional as, any of them. MT. Adams having compared Lees career with that of Washington and Cromwell, The Journal says:
 The case of General Lee Is radically diff ferent from either of these. The world and history do full justice to his, brave and gentle nature. his high sense of hon. or his spotless character and his genius as soldier. But it can never be forgot ten that, unlike Cromwell and Washing ton, with whom Mir. Adams compares him, he fought to tear down and not to build up 8 nation.
 The Journal Is not happy fin it's com parisons or arguments. Washington's sole object was to tear down the sov- ereignty of England and to build up an independent nation in its stead. From the date of the Declaration of 1ndepend- ence. at least. and probably long before, Washington had no thought, desire or ambition but to tear down the govern ment of George III and make an inde- pendent government of the colonies.
 When we come to the case of Crom- we'll 1t Is decidedly more unfavorable to The Journals ccomparison. Whatever may have been the character of Charles has nothing to do with 1t, nor does the manner in which the government was conducted. The fact remains that Eng land was a monarchy and Charles was the King. To tear down this kingdom and dethrone this King were the objects of the movement in which Cromwell joined and of which he afterwards be- came head and leader. It was move mcnt to tear down an established gov ernment and substitute another an en- tirely different one.
 Washington was a rebel. against his government beyond controversy. Crom- we'll was a rebel against his government and traitor to his King. Robert F. Lee was neither. He was a patriot in the very highest sense of the word. and un- biased history recognizes the fact. It is useless. of courses to discuss this phase of the question. but newspaper which now honors Washington and Cromwell as patriots and stigmatizes Lee as a rebel largely discounts its own intelll- gence

Some Northern Republican paper under takes to ridicule Senator Morgan by com pairing him with Mark Hanna, in man. ner which the editor thinks Is decidedly favorable to the Ohio boss. Thereupon The Columbus Enquirer-sun takes up the cudgel for the Alabama statesman in this satisfactory style:
 This comparison Is entirely satisfactory to the South Morgan is broad-minded statesman who iA. actuated by patriotic motives; Hanna is typical commercial politician who favors no measure that hasn't dollars back of it. Morgan is q gentleman of the old school; it is doubt ful if Hanna Is one of any kind. Morgan has a proud record as a brave soldier. Hanna has none. Senator Hoar, the brainiest of the Republican Senators, says of Mir. Morgan he is 'one of the greatest living Senators and one of the greatest authorities on all great sub jeots;'' Senator Hanna is one of the greatest living wire-pulling. boodle-rais- ing politicians. Morgan is the opposite of Hanna in every way and the South is en- ttrely willing to accept him as type. If the North is equally satisfied with Hanna. why then let everybody be happy.

air balloon reminds us of the old negrU'a argument: 'Ef de train jumps off'n de track, dar you Is; of de steamboat blows up, dar you is, but if de balloon busts whar Is you?' Verne seems to have no faith in a successful airship if 1t must depend on some form of balloon to keep 1t up, for. as he says. with a motor-car you have the earth under you. and with a ship you have the water but with a bal loon you have nothing to support you in case of accident, and he is correct.
