ping Proposition.
Duluth, April Capt Harry Rob-

have shown up mine adjoining the
Kinney mine on the south. The pros
poets are that there may be future
embarrassment in shipping from the
latter property, as the Great Northern
road enters it over the land in which
the new find has been made. The new
property is estimated to contain sew
eral million tons, under forty-four-
foot surfact. 1t will be- a stripping

Carrying Pistols.

 Governor Je.ks of Alabama put in q strong paragraph in his message aaglnst the evils of pistol-carrying. He does not suggest any specific legislation, but is none the less emphatic in his condemna- ton of the practice of carrying conceal ed weapons. The Alabama papers are calling for prompt legislation and severe penalties.
 Recent events in Georgia and South Carolina have called attention to the necessity of suppTessing this terrible habit. The Governors and lawmakers Of Southern States have no more important duty than that of protecting human life In high places and In low, on the public streets and in the low dives, by promi- nent people and by people in the humber walks of life is this law disregarded and this menace to the public safety con tinued. As a rule the man who carries q pistol is a public enemy and ought to be treated as such. In this day of advanced civilization. when officers Of the law arc everywhere and the protection of the law is universal, no man should as sume to take the law in his own hands or to go abroad a walking arsenal.
 In the Georgia Legislature a South Georgia member introduced bill to pre- vent the carrying of deadly weapon un- less 1t was l7 inches long and weighed five pounds. This bill was laughed at when 1t was read, but it is step, perhaps crude one, in the direction of public safety. No man is going to carry a weapon of that size and weight and the law, of course, Is meant to be prohibito- ry. The idea was to prevent the carry ing of pistols by hands in the turpentine belt. where tragedies are frequent and where the habit has become unbearable.
 The pistol-toating craze is one that should be checked.

Save the Little Children.

 against the employment of child labor in the South is inspired by owners of New England mills who wish to cripple the Southern mills by depriving them of the labor which enables them to make goods cheaper than the New England mills can make them. In the same breath the ad Vocates of child labor say there are so few little children employed in the South ern mills that it is absurd to think of passing special law protecting children. There is a fallacy in the argument that is obvious
 If, however, we grant that the appeal for the protection of the Southern chill dren is a selfish one and comes really from rival min owners of New England, that will not excuse employment of the children if such employment is detrimen- tai to the mental and physical welfare of our children. Governor c. B. Aycock of North Carolina, a State showing great development Of cotton spinning, puts the matter in clearest Night when he says;
 There is great necessity for the deVel- opment Of our industries. I am glad to see them increase in number and grow in prosperity; but there is no such lmpera- tive necessity for the creation and ac- emulation of wealth as to justify us Tn the sacrifice of child life to secure It. h. deed, the State will grow richer by pre- serving the health and developing the minds and hearts of these children than 1t can possibly grow by the creation of any values which their puny arms can win"
 In other words even if we disregard purely moral consideration, there is econ omy and benefit to the State in the pro tection of the children. Let them, by all means he DrOtoCtedi

 Unofficial statesmanship'' was the name given by Dr. Felix Adler on Thurs day evening to the efforts of the General Education and Southern Education Boards to uplift the South; and he added that unofiictal statesmanship in various ton than all the legislators in the Union. Every one who has looked into the ac- tivities of these two Boards, or who heard their work described at the meet ing in Carnegie Hall last evening, must be deeply impressed with the truly ines timable valuePof the patriotic and unsel- fish work being done in their name They have been still further defined as organized philanthropy working on busi- ness lines and taking advantage of the corporate spirit which Is characteristic of the hour in our industrial development
 Tho field of activity into which these Boards have entered lay ready for till- Ing when they began their work. The South had already developed leaders who recognized its educational needs. like the speakers of last evening, Dr. Alderman, President of Tulane University; Dr. Me lVer, head of one of the leading South ern colleges for women; and pr. Da6ney of the University of Tennessee. They had perceived, moreover, that. wrapped up with this question of education, is the moral, social and industrial development of both races which populate the South. Sparsely inhabited in stretches, and with more than 90 per cent of its people lead ing a rural life for the most part wholly out of touch with the outside world, 1t became evident to those leaders and to the Northerners like MT. Robert C. Ogden and Mir. w. H. Baldwin, Jr., who became interested, that the South need ed an educational revival before all else. It is characteristic of the wisdom with which the movement has been launched that it began at once to work through the SoutherneTs, whose eyes could not bear to look upon the ignorance, illit- their section. These men hre now the active field agents of the new movement, They are on the firing line in battle for civilization, the echoes of which are to be heard far beyond the shores of our own country.

CHAM IS COMING.

Our little kingdom of Guam is again getting itself advertised, determined not to be "to dumb forgetfulness a prey while other and less important members of the family of natives are getting them selves talked of in the papers and al- luded to in official dispatches. So far, Guam has managed to keep itself in the procession. and it is not at all likely to drop out if she knows herself.
 The latest Guamatic exploitation is soap-of all things. The simple people of that island, like all others in a state of nature, have not taken to soap They had no use for it. Where broad smile is considered sufficient clothing for ordi- nary occasions and the addition of a necklace and anklets in full dress there vas no use for soap for laundry use, and the natives are so in the habit of bath ing in the salt seas that they have never regarded the saponaceous connections of civilization adjuncts to their health and comfort.
 But last year some enterprising Ameri- can thought soap was the one thing need ed to place Guam in the forefront of Edeuic perfection and straightway a con signment was sent. The inhabitants were delighted. so we learn. Perhaps their first idea was that it was new brand of taffey. but they soon learned better. and now we are assured that the belles of Guam are coming to regard soap as one of the necessary additions to a per feet toilet. And. as contemporary ob- serves, ''the Guam gentlemen will do likewise for the people of the island are acquiring civilization and it is one of the attributes of civilized man to do what woman wants hm to do. If a Guam lady requires it of him. he will even wash his face with real soap and try to look pleasant while undergoing the unusual experience.
 Soap and clothes are the handmaidens of civilization. They walk together and where soap obtains a footing clothing must follow. The next thing for Guam will be dressmakers and tailors Even shoes will come into use, and possibly we may see their young men trying to exist with standing collars and cravats. Guam is surely moving forward.

More About Raising Hogs Without
Brewton, Ala, January 2a. lgoa,


 Brewton, Ala, January 2 1903. Editor The Advertiser:
 The writer who, in a small way has been raising hogs and growing oats and cassava in Escambia County, Alapama four or five years, endorses the state. ment of Judge CarmichaeI in The Adver- User with reference to raising hogs fin Alabama without corn.
 will state what l know to have been done for several years in succession and what am certain can be done one year aftel another in South Alabama.
 Young pigs in December thrive finely turned on oats planted in October and may be kept. on them without injury to the oats until April.
 After June l new oats are A cheaner and healthier summer ration for hogs than corn. From the first of October until first of June hogs can be fed and fattened on cassava root exclusively. Of course every farmer Will let his hogs save the waste corn, cowpeas and potatoes if he has any.
 I do not question the Judges statement that one acre of ground peas is equal to three acres of corn as a hog fattening food. but I have never planted enough groundpeas to test their value in hog raising and fattening.
 1 know that we can raise fifteen tons of cassava root on an acre of our pine land rich enough to make twenty-five or thirty bushels of corn. This acre of cas- sava will fatten thirty or forty head of year old hogs.
 It Is not best. however, to turn hogs on 1t in the field as we do with peanuts and potatoes. It should be dug or pulled up, about weeks supply at 6 time hauled to the barn and fed to the hogs as needed. 1t Is gathered cheaply The roots of plant weigh from five to twen- ty pounds and are easily lifted from the ground wit'ha mattock. It does not keep as well out of ground as potatoes. It keeps sound on the stem where 1t grew until March. I have not tried 1t later than March because I have needed the ground for other crops, but am of the opinion that 1t will keep in tho field until June, perhaps longer, on well drained soil.
 If we can succeed in saving seed (which you know is not the root but the stalk and limbs of the plantl in this latitude cassava will settle the question in South Alabama of raising hogs without corn. This is the fourth year have tried my hand at saving the seed. I succeeded fairly well last year. made a partial suc- cess one year and total failure one year. It remains to be seen how 1t has kept this winter.

ter the soul left the body 1t could go back and take possession and resume business at the old stand. Acting on this belief. or theory. he committed suicide and that is where he missed the combina- ton. Nobody knows where the soul went. but the body went to the cemetery. and there is one Frenchman less. That's what comes of being too sure about things. If he had tried the experiment on some one else, he could have watched the pro- ceedings and noted when anything went wrong. As it was. he put himself out of the game at the start. Possibly-grant- ing that his theory was correct-the soul had no desire to go back.

A NEW MAN.

In an exchange we find headline How a new man feeIs." and it reminds us that we have often wondered how Adam felt when he was finished. He was the only new man we ever heard or iead of, and it is a pity he had not possessed the gifts and the inciinations of some of our moderns, so that he could have left us an account of his feeli 1gs whe n he realized that he was all there. No. having worked his way up thr ugh child hood and boyhood from infancy, he had no experience. no "reminiscences and no conception of time We doubt ie ho could have told whether he had always been or had just happened.
 We have wondered, too, If Adam wss not exceedingly lonely during the early days of his existence. When Eve came onto the scene she probably made it live iy enough for him, but up. to that time he was sort of Robinson Crusoe. He could talk to the animals, perhaps. as Robinson did, and some of the old writers held that the animals could talk in the beginning, but we doubt it. Even if they could 1t wouldn't have been like sitting on barrel at the corner store. or going over to neighbours and having a chat about crops, and telling fish stories. and spinning yarns about horses and hogs. How long his lonesomeness lasted we have no means of knowing, but 1t must have been dreadful while 1t did last. But Adam was the only new man and we don't know how he felt, or what he thought about 1t.

JuYLEss JuGaLERs.

The Republican jugglers of the legisla- tive and executive machines are not happy. Things are not going their way, and there is no likelihood that the more important things can be made to go their way.
 It looks as if the jugglerS have reached the end of their tether and the President has exhausted even his nlasterful re- sources of power and mind. The Re- publican ma3or1tes of the two houses of this Congress have never in any instance been cohesive, and they seem more dis organized this moment than at any pre- vious time. They are apparently hope lessly disunited as to the Statehood bill the commerce department measure, the trusts, and the Cuban treaty, and just now either of these can be finally agreed upon is at the instant beyond the wit of man to guess, unless the millennium shall come quickly to the Republican mator- ties. and the language used by leading men of the party in power would indi- cate anything but peace.
 The most significant sign of the hour is that Republican leaders are not only talk Ing openly and very plainly against cherished plans of the President, but are actually ridicuhng such plans in answer to inquiries from newspaper men. whom they expect to report the facts to the world.
 So 1t may be easily guessed that the situation is more than abnormal, 1t is unprecendented. And in all the con fusion and wild guessing nothing seems to approach more nearly to certainly than an extra session of Congress.

Referring to The Advertisers hope that the cause of so many cases of tetanus at Norfolk and Charleston would be in- vestigated, The Landmark says:
 Medical men in this city are now at work on a guinea-pig to see If the toy pistol burn will give that animal tetanus. The result of this experiment ought to help solve the mystery.
 That is all right enough, provided boys and guinea-pigs are affected in like man. ner by like causes. We are not prepared to give an expert opinion on the subject, but will leave that for the doctors, pro- vided their experimenting with the anil mals is a success.

 ' Mir. Troy has received the honor of a special phvitatiou to the reception, the second of the season, to be given by the fresident and Mrs. Roosevelt at the White House on Thursday night. and he Is to participate in other society events of the first importance. His charming courtesy. his ready wit and great amia- bility, together with his scholarly accom- plishments readily make him a favorite In cosmopolitan, pleasure-lovtng Washing ton. which is the quickest town in the world to manifest appreciation of those admirable qualities of heart and head so characteristic of Mr. Troy. He has the rare gift of being always ready to say happy things happily. and that type of man Is always accorded a cordial welcome accomplished men who temporarily dwell in the capital are so burdened with af- fairs of State that they have little time and less inclination to lend their pres ence to the adornment and enjoyment of society.
 Yet Washington every winter gathers to itself a greater number of brilliant men and brilliant and beautiful women than any Ouner ClLy O1 JnlS country, or perhaps of the world. And the capital Is coming more and more to attract those who live for society as well as those who live for literature, the arts and the higher professions so-called, that is to say, the law. medicine, education scholar ship, architecture. sculpture, and paint ing.

 The chief teachers of socialism in this country are those who have ostenta- tiously paraded their power under present conditions to conjure enormous wealth from combinations from trusts. from water, from railroad discrimination, from legislative favor.
