MRS. EVANS RESUMES WRITING,

From the Baltimore News.
There is a large circle of older novel
readers all over the country sure to be
interested in the return to authorship of
Mrs. Augusta ]. Evans Wilson; but Bal
timore has an added personal interest
for this southern writer, whose pen has
been silent for fifteen years because of
shattered health and the sorrows of
widowhood, was educated herein the
days of female colleges" rather than
OF "woman's colleges'-at the school so
long directed by the late Professor Nath-
an c. Brooks. Mrs. Wlson-or Augusta
Evans as her readers knew her better
entertained many thousands a genera
ton ago by her ability in her novels to
mingle the sentimental and the sensa-
tional in delectable portions. She is best
remembered by st Elmo" which an
peared just after the civil war; but there
are half a dozen other novels to her
credit beginning with "Inez-A Tale of
the Alamo" which she wrote as long ago
as 1855, when she was barely out of her
teens. and breaking off In 1887 with "At
the Mercy of Tiberius." Now IA Speck-
leo Bird is added to the list, after a
long interruption. Its writer is a woman
of some three score and ten, identified
all her life with the sunny southland,
but more especially with the historic and
interesting city of Mobile, where she has
since her marriage in 1868 lived in a
stately home. Her work as a fiction writ
er brought her honors and more SUBJ
stantial rewards and, though her books
are of mold different from the novels
of today, they are still read and dis
cussed, particularly "St. Elmo" Their
readers are sure to be delighted that
Mrs. Wilson has taken up her pen again
and more than that, "A Speckled Bird
will gain new friends in the generation
that has not hitherto known Augusta
Evans.

constitution. which is accessible in
every precinct.
1t Is to be regretted that these three
documents were not printed by the
state executive committee In a pam
phlet and placed in the hands of every
precinct inspector, for then there
would have been no excuse for a mis-
take on his part. IN short, these
three documents provide that demo-
Gratis who had paid a poll tax on or
before February 1 can vote at the
primary, and the only exceptions to
this rule are democrats over 45 years
of age.
In order to establish the primary as
a permanent part of the system of the
democratic party in this state 1t is
very important that the coming event
should be conducted fairly and hon
estly, and every good democrat should
make 1t part OF his days work next
Monday to assist in the attainment of
such a result. There are plenty of
reactionaries in the state, and they
will overthrow the primary If they
can, and some of them will not hest
tate to encourage dishonesty and
trickery at the polls for that very
purpose. Let all good democrats strive
on Monday next not only to bring out
a full vote, but also to have that vote
honestly cast and honestly counted
and returned.

Jefferson County Democrats.

Those who go about saying that
Governor Johnston will carry Jef1er-
son county next Monday forget that
he has never carried this county in a
contested election. In 1890 he was
forced to surrender the nomination
for governor to Colonel Jones, who
was reelected in 1892, Mr. Kolb be-
ing his opponent. In 1894 General
Oates carried this county, and it was
not until 1896 that Governor Johnston
was nominated for governor But in
1896 Jefferson county did not vote for
him In the state convention. The con-
test of that year in the primaries and
county convention was a. memorable
one, and 1t was ended in a delegation
of fifteen that voted for Richard H.
Clarke, and fifteen for Joseph F. John
ston-or no vote at all.
In 1898 there was no contest, but
in 1900 there was a memorable pri..
mary over the senatorship, resulting
in magnificent victory for John T.
Morgan. Governor Johnston did not
poll even the vote that General Shell
ley did for governor, receiving not
much over one-third of that vote,
Johnstons vote being about 5000, as
compared with about 5000 for Gen
eral Shelley.
In no contested election has Gov
ernor Johnston or his followers ever
carried this county, and it is difficult
to see that his friends are now
basing their confidence on. Certainly
they are not basing it on any unpopu-
larity of the new constitution in this
county. Governor Johnston never hest
tates to attack the new instrument,
and it is the real issue before the
democrats next Monday. If Governor
Johnston can carry this county on
that issue he will do something he has
never been able to do for himself in
contested election.

Death of William Arnold HemphiII.

The sudden death of William A.
Hemphill. founder of the Atlanta
Constitution, removes from this sec
tion its most successful newspaper
publisher, not even excepting Mr..
Estill of Savannah. Mr.. Belo, now
dead, belonged in the first rank, but
neither Mr.. Belo nor Mr. Estill ever
built so powerful or so widely-circu.
lated a paper as Mr.. IIemphill sue
ceeded in doing. At the time of his
death Mr.. Hemphill was not connected
with the work of his life, but the
paper that he had long toiled for
reached its power and circulation be-
fore he left it.
Mr.. Hemphill was at once a broad
newspaper manager and one who
watched and cared for every detail
In this double respect he was rarely
equalled. Those wo did not know him
well did not know that he ever favored
every progressive step, no matter what
its cost might be. 1t was in the de
tails that he enforced economy, and
the result was success.
The Constitution was more the work
of William A. Hemphill than of any
other man connected with it-than OF
any half dozen other men in its serv.
ice. This man who was charitable at
heart and always a good citizen-this
man who always stood for truth, JUS
tice and religion, was an eminently
successful man in all essential re-
spects. He has gone to his rest, leav.
ing an honored name to his children,
and a useful lesson to all builders
of newspapers. The story of his life
would be the story of modern Atlanta,
for he went there and began his life
work almost as soon as he recovered
from the wounds he received in the
civil war.

RETURN OF PoPuLIsTs.

From the Jacksonville Republican.
Though 1t seems impossible for the dem-
ocratic party to be a unit in Alabama, yet
we hail with delight anything which
looks to that end, or seems to be NOV
Ing in that direction. it, therefore, affords
us much pleasure to learn that the pop
ulist party of Calhoun county has dis
banded and returned to the old party.
We have always claimed that in all
divisions, both political and religious,
both sides were somewhat at fault; there
fore. admitting this let us heartily well
come them. Tho populist return claiming
that what they contended for has been
gained, sine under the new constitution
fair election could be held, we see that
the new constitution is beginning to bear
fruit already. Let us hope that before
great while our friends unde- the lead
ership Of Ex-Governor Johnston will see
the error of their way. and instead of
organizing an opposition to the new
constitution, will joiE hands with us,
as our populite friends have done, in
making a long pull. Il strong pull ami a
pull altogether for honest government
in Alabama.

THE LATEST FROM KANSAS.
Kansas City Telegram to the New Yor
Herald.

Kansas City Telegram to the New York
Herald.
A report from Lees Summit, Kan. tells
of frightful Occurrences In the corn belt
near that place. The story is told by a
Lees Summit paper, and Illustrates tho
terrible dangers that menace Kansas by
retson of the tremendous corn crop.
The hero of this tale is willie" M. c.
keighan, q small boy, who climbed a.
eornstalk TO see how his fathers crop
was getting on. The stalk grew so fast
that the faster the boy slid down the
higher up he was carried. At the last
report willie" was out Of sight and
still ascending
Men are at work trying to chop down
the stalk, but the effort is useless be-
cause the plant grows so fast that It
is impossible for the AK to hit twice in
the same place. The boy is living on raw
corn. and has already thrown down four
bushels of cobs.
The stalk is now so high that the cobs
take fire IN the air like meteors Farm
ers in tho vicinity are arranging to send
up balloons for the Keller or the poo,
victim of the corn crop.

OPPOSES SUFFRAGE REFORMS.

From the Eufaula Evening Journal.
The Johnston papers have been very
vehement in their denials of any inslnua-
ton that Governor Johnston ever IA
vored negro rule. That is begging the
question The whole issue is that tie
neral sentiment of The people Of Ala
bama demanded that the suffrage laws
should be put on higher plane and that
the ignorant and vicious element of votA
ers should be cut out by law. Two years
ago the Democratic party Of Alabama
began the movement toward that end
which resulted in the new constitution.
Governor Johnston was the unrelenting,
bitter opponent of that movemoht. He
did all In his power to defeat 1t. To that
extent he has been the avowed enemy
Of suffrage reform No man can deny
this without being belied by the record.

POLITICAL CAREER HAS
CERTAIN ATTRACTIONS

extending to his city, to his state. to his
nation and through his nation to tho
world at large.
There are mighty possibilities, far
greater. I think. than most of us real
ize for our country to influence the
world at large. IN fact, the happiness
of the whole human race will be pro-
foundly influenced by the interest which
Americans take in the affairs of the
world, and through the foreign policies
to be adopted by Americans as a result
of that interest
can unhesitatingly say that the op-
portunities for a young man in politics
In America are far greater than can be
found in any other country or have been
found at any time In the history Of the
world
America may effeetualiy advance the
progress of free institutions in the world
she may effeetualIy dictate peace to the
world; she may inaugurate the adoption
of a new principle in the treatment of
the yellow and the black races by the
white race, and in the relations of the
white nations among themselves-name-
", that right and even advantage lie
not in injury by war and bloodshed or
any other method, but by helping others
advancing the principle of the brother
hood of nations and the brotherhood of
man.
1t is essentially a life of sacrifice, but
think the thought of the possibility of
our country influencing the world should
be a supreme inspiration to Americans.
As to the incidental features, I think,
broadly speaking, that the man who pro-
poses to make politics his special field
should provide. If possible, means of
livelihood outside of the salary of poll
Tical office, or else he should be prepar-
ed to live a frugal life. The men who
have the means are certainly called up
on to enter the race, and it will be a
happy day for our country when the field
of politics becomes the choice of those
who stand in a position to select their
life work.

Capt Richmond Pearson Hobson, U. s.
NJ. IN the Washington Times.
Fundamentally the object of a poltl-
clans career is service. The attraction
Is the thought Of taking part In a. work
that affects large numbers. There are
about sixteen hundred millions of human
beings on the earth, gathered in habitats,
and associated In races, nations and
states, where the life of the individual
touches in all almost unlimited number
of ways the community IN which he lives
While, broadly speaking. the main func-
ton of the individual is production. for
upon production IS built the conditions
of individual life; on the other hand, the
affairs of the community and the oppor-
tunity of the individual are so insepara-
bly, Joined that the former at once be-
comes a matter of vital Importance and
should enlist the support of all.
The individual should make his life
count for a maximum of useful service
in the world. and to do this, I believe
that everyone. man or woman, should
take a keen and lively interest In public
affairs. Every citizen, of either sex. in
this sense, should be a politician, and
make his or her influence count on the
side of good government
Particularly does this apply to the man
who, from natural endowment, education
or force of circumstances. finds unusual
opportunities for notable service. To
him the call is imperative. and it is his
bounden duty to accept and to fill the
wider sphere.
Politics, like any business or profession,
should enlist the attention of just such
men; for the representatives of the peo-
pie in the government of the nation
should be drawn from those who are
ablest, the strongest and of the best
characters, irrespective of their walks In
life
A person thus going into politics for
career should, to my mind, place and
keep always before him and uppermost
III his mind the idea of serviee-service

THE committees appointed to canvass
coed progress in the spring and early
summer. but during the heated term
nothing has been DONE" said one Of the
Y M. C. A. officers yesterday.
IN the fall the work of canvassing
will be resumed and we hope for sub
stantial results. In this growing city,
with prosperous times, there should be
no difficulty in raising 100000 for a Y.
M. C. A. home. The amount we ask for
is small compared with the sums raised
in other cities.
THE corner stone Of the Buffalo, N.
Y, association building was laid recently.
The building will cost 100000. George w.
Perkins of New York subscribed $4,000 OF
the SIS, 900 needed to complete the build
ing as a memorial to his father, who was
the founder of this association.
There are nearly one hundred associa-
ton buildings to be erected throughout
this country In the near future, which
are now provided for. At thirty-three
railroad points buildings will be erected
to cost $685. OF this amount, the rail-
road companies have contributed 1857 000
and the balance is raised by railroad
men and citizens. At least one new
building a week will be opened during
the next year. Newark, N. j., will soon
have its s275,O0e building completed; New

Hebrews In America.

1.-THE Hebrew population of the United

twenty years. said well known
Isrealte.
There are only between seven and
eight million Jews in the world. About
twenty years ago there were only 25o,-
600 in the United States. The latest
statistics show that there are 5S4,7sS Jews
in New York city, and in this country
there are about three-quarters of mil
lion. Oppression of the race in Europe
has caused a steady immigration here and
in few years fully one-seventh of all
the Jews in the world will be found In

the Jews, but the majority of those who
leave Russia and Germany for new
country prefer the United States"
