The Great Pardoner.

EufauIa Journal.
And now some few misinformed people
are urging, as one reason, why Governor
Jelhs should not be nominated Governor
that he is too lavish with the par lonng
power Governor Johnston during II e
last twelve months he was in office par
doned $50 persons. For the twelve
months, ending June 18th, Governor jerks
set free 100. The fact is Governor John
ston pardoned two persons, whore Gov
ernor Jelks pardoned one. Below are the
actual figures in regard to this matter:
Four years Johnston pardoned, -. 1,1S9
One year Jelks pardoned ............ 100

From these figures it is seen that while
London still holds first place in the TOR
eign commerce of Europe, in single de-
cade, Hamburg. which had been only OF
the fifth rank, rose to the second as
placing Liverpool, which fell to the hfth.
Antwerp continued to hold third place
while Rotterdam, which had held seventh
place. rose to the fourth, and Marsellles'
which had been fourth. fell TO sixth While
Havre. which had been sixth' Tell TO
eighth.
These changes are extremely significant
for they are not accidental, but arise
from definite and potential causes. AS

THE REGISTERED VOTE.
It is Showing Up in Quite Large
Proportions.

The registration in Alabama has not
been to the entire limit of qualified vot-
ers. According to the census returns for
1900 there were then 1929 white males
above the age of q and 1SL.4n negro
males of voting age. The returns that
have reached The Advertiser are from
fifty-six counties. leaving ten yet
unreported. The total registered vote in
fifty-six counties foots up 164.753 and of
these not over 5000 are negroes. The ten
counties not yet in the table of figures
have 2S,105 white males over the age Of
II years and it is evident that the total

genuine sentiment is centred In the In
dian bureaus preparations for an exhi-
bit at the coming Worlds Fair of tho
representatives Of the tribes OF American
Indians That the congress OF real red
men at St Louis in 1904 will be the largest
and most comprehensive indian exhibit
ever attempted. and that It will be the
last exhibit of the kind the United States
government will attempt to make on
large scale, seems to be generally un-
derstood at Washington. 1t is therefore
the intention OF the indian bureau 70
make Il as complete as possible. and 1t
has therefore planned on elaborate found
ations.
The exhibit will be representative Of the
various types OF this country's original
Inhabitants. II will bo independent Of tho
other government exhibits and will be en&
closed In q stockade, as many OF the In~
dians placed on exhibition are govern>
ment prisoners. and will be constantly
guarded. The noted Apache chief Garoni-
mo, now more than 70 years OF age who
will be at ST. Louis, 10 never permitted to
leave his reservation except under guard.
There will bo indian villages presenting
Indian customs and mode OF living, az
well as the various Indian dances. snake
dances, dog feasts, and other incapta-
tions I'm which the Indians appera In their
gaudily decorated and fantastic garbs
will be presented more actively and ef-
fectivsiy than has been attempted OF the
reservation. There viii also be sham
battle and other exhibitions bearing a re-
semblance 10 the experiences OF the
early frontisrsman. including the council
or war, the massacre and the pipe OF
peace.
An official OF the Indian bureau says OF
the exhibit: The appropriation of 10000

Interior Mr. Hitchcock II anxious that
