Notable Men of Alabama.

Alabama has produced as many notable ana distinguished men as any State in the south with the exception of the Old Dominion State
 In 1904 a book of two volumes entitled Notable Men of Alabama" will be pub lished. G. H. Williams. a promoter of the publication of the volumes, is In the State procuring data. The book, which Will no doubt be of more than general state interest will consist of personal and genealogical sketches of the prominent people of Alabama dating from its early settlement.
 :, The purpose of the authors in the pub lication of such a valuable volume is ac- cordlng to the prospectus as follows:
 The object of this proposed work is to preserve. as far as possible. an au thentic record of the lives and deeds of those who assisted in upbuilding the varied interests of Alabama. The rank that State holds very largely depends upon the achievements of its citizens. some add to It's reputation by efficient public service. some by professional skill, some by increasing its manufacturing and commercial interests. and some by ad- dlng to the general wealth and prosperity in culdvating and improving Its lands. To give faithful account of the lives of old settlers and representative citi- zens of community Is to write its his tory in It's truest sense. The most attractive form of history is biography,
 
 dividuals, and, while aptly illustrating the conduct of life. conveys important lessons. History, 1t has been well said, does not much regard fertile soil or material wealth; but the admirable men and wo- men that State produces-they are the glory of the State In every city, town and village there are men and women of character and influence. who have con- tributed by their enterprise and thrift, by their activity and sagacity in busi- ness, by their zeal in educational, in religious, and in political matters to the moral and spiritual advancement as well as to the material prosperity of the com munity in which they live.
 These volumes will be made up of the life sketches of men of local prominence, representing, as far as their cooperation can be secured, the leading citizens in the various branches of business and the professions, such as lawyers, physicians, editors authors. clergymen, educators, bankers. capitalists. manufacturers, mer- chants, successful farmers, railroad of- ficials, public officers, old soldiers and others. To such men of merit and respec- tability this volume will be open without expense.

THE NEW CIRCUIT.

The Judiciary Committee of the Senate has reported favorably the bill to create the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit composing the counties of Autauga, Chiffon, Fillmore and Montgomery, and 1t was on yester- day put upon the calendar. This bill is of great importance to the people of the counties immediately concerned. It also gives to Judge Denson the relief which is absolutely required, for reasons hereto fore stated in these columns. It is approv- ed almost unanimously by the members of the bar of the respective counties, and to the same extent by the representatives of said counties in the Legislature.
 We are reliably informed that over fifty members of the bar of this city have signed protest against the passage of what is known as the Maner bill, which places all the litigation practically in one court-the City Court of Montgomery. We have before alluded to the unwisdom of such an act. The bill was called up night before last, in the absence of two of the Montgomery delegation. Yester- day Representative Goodwin asked a re- consideration of the bill, but the hour of adjournment having arrived the motion went over until today. It ought to pre- vail and for reasons heretofore given the bill ought to be defeated. The members of this bar ought to know the needs of this County in such matters and at least eight-tenths of the business of the Courts is represented in the protest against the passage of this bill.

Says The Bessemcr Weekly:

Bryan should keep in mind that Cleve- land has an immense following among those who loyalty supported Bryan in the two campaigns. His action insisting on the repudiation of Cleveland will serious ly disappoint and antagonize them. And what good will 1t avail? Only to thor oughly disintegrate the party and render its success impossible. Cleveland has had all the honors this country can bestow. Bryan, by his action, bars himself from the receipt of any additional honors.
 Mir. Bryan declares that he will not again be a candidate for President, and he may be sincere in his determination, but 1t is plain to all who read his dec larations that he intends to play the role of Warwick. If he cannot be king him. self he intends to insist on naming the man who will be.

Reward of Newspaper Reporters.

Newspaper reporters. notwithstanding they are reporters, sometimes are fortu- nate enough to receive words of common dation and praise.
 The praise and commendation of his employer, indeed, is the chief aim of an honest reporter because the employer does not praise unless the reporter is meeting the demands of the public. After all We who write for newspapers are public ser wants.
 A Northern paper says: Thomas S. Bigelow of Pittsburg, opuent politician, handed City Editor Gable of The Daily Dispatch" a $lOO check to be passed along to Reporter c. J. Gotthart. T have been extending personal courtesies of this kind to all the political reporters. he says. "I see no harm in it. don't give them these courtesies to color their news nor to influence their newspapers. but merely as a personal matter"
 This may be proper in Pittsburg, but, the political reporter of Southern news paper would soon be tabooed if he ac- cepted material gifts from politicians even though they came through the City Editor. He has no more right to re- ceive money from a politician than a public official has right to sell his opinion and his influence.

DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses cer tain signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole field of newspaperdom which comes under its notice, and one of these signs is the mystic symbol Wl denoting golden" which stands for high quality, and Is thus explained:
 advertisers value this paper more for the class and quality of its circulation than for the mere number of copies printed"
 Such papers are credited with a single sym bol: but there is a higher grade, according to this standard authority. which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY, and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL tv0 to describe adequately their standing.
 The Advertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol [00J and is the oaiS paper distinguished in this section of the South.

Letters to The Editor.
Township Trustees and Transference
 of Children.

of Children.
 Editor The Advertiser.
 Ninety per cent of the friction in our country public schools is due to the abuse of power by the trustees in reference to granting transfers from their township to other townships If there be one earthly thing to which these honorable gentlemen yield with greater reluctance
 than the extraction of an eye tooth that thing Is to grant a transfer of children whose parents prefer to patronize school in different township. They act as If
 the public money was theirs with which they are to reward friends or punish
 enemies" They shield themselves under
 that section of the school law suggesting the permanent importance of building up good school in each township every
 trace of which section should be wiped from our statutes. We believe it a great his children in the school of his choice anywhere in this State, and demand of the trustees his transfer. The trustees ] should be left no choice in this matter Parents are far more interested in the education of their children than any trus | tee, and they wish to put their children in the school where they will get best re- suits It Is a travesty on justice that they can, under present laws, be denied this right. If the parent wishes to send his children three miles into another township to school while the "Dee-strict"
 school Is a hundred yards distant. there | IS some Just ground TOT tnlS. The Dee strict school Is no account. The partial | ity of the average trustee to Cousin Tommie" of Aunt Susan" as the teacher Is well known. The whole scheme Is to "gobble up tre public money without concern for the school or advancement of
 the children. These worthless schools, of which Alabama has an abundance, have, by reason of the power vested In trus- tees, severely crippled most meritorious
 schools in neighboring townships. They
 are a powerful demoralizing factor by vir- tue of the trustees power to withhold
 transfers" and of his being dishonest enough to abuse his power
 If these trustees understood that if they
 wished to keep the school money in the
 tow nship, they must employ good teach
 CTS and conduct a good school, it would
 prove an incentive to them in this direc-
 ton.
 Again, this obstinacy of the trustees
 in granting transfers is the source of
 greatest vexation to County Superintend- ents.
 This scribe once filled the honorable and responsible office of County Superin- tendent of Education and the citizens of that county will testify today that he
 went to the extreme of the law in com | polling trustees to grant transfers to
 every parent that applied.
 If the Legislature will adopt Mir. Gun
 nes's suggestion as to wiping out all
 township lines of the State so far as they
 relate to public schools, and establish sep
 arate school districts, 1t will be a long
 stride in the right direction. k. Y. M

tain 1t is that the Republicans up there have persistently adhered to the theory that the Southern negroes should have unrestricted suffrage. and it Is only with in a very recent period that any of them have admitted the failure, Since the mo- table speech of Secretary Root it is get ting to be somewhat fashionable to side with him. and to admit that the fifteenth amendment has not been a brilliant suc- cess, but we heard precious little of ;t before.

Miss Ryan on Talladega.

Wednesdays Birmingham News contain ed an illustrated write-up of Talladega signed by Miss Lily Ryan. one of The News special writers. The story reflects credit both on the ability as writer and the business attainments of Miss Ryan and on the prosperity and advance ment of Talladega.
 Talladega is one of Alabama's oldest cities and has long been noted for it's culture. No town in Alabama has com paratively produced more notable men.
 Senator Morgan once lived in Talladega and the late Dr. J. l.. M. Curry was in years past a Talladegian. Others, too numerous almost to mention, from the past generation to this. have gone from Talladega to fame.
 The bar of Talladega, as in the days of the towns early settlement, consists of the most prominent lawyers in the State The bench of Talladega County Is famed.
 Commercially speaking there are all things in Talladega which go to make a good town.

The Washington Post declares that when in 1877 the troops were withdrawn from the South the intelligent citizens of all Northern States. regardless of party, knew that negro suffrage in the South had proven not merely a failure, but a disaster. a calamity to both races, a po- litical mistake second only to secession in the seriousness of its consequences. From that time to this hour no intelligent Re- publican has contended that the fifteenth amendment has been or could be made other than a failure
 The Post may be correct but if 1t Is we are forced to one of two conclusions: either intelligent Republicans are exceed ingly scarce in the North or else we have been a long time getting notice of the concessions claimed by The Post. Ger

Candy for Change.

PhIladelphia Record.
 Some people wonder why we carry stock of cheap, candy, penny candy said the man who keeps the railroad news stand. Well, you see, it's this way; have a lot of regular customers who want 1t. They take 1t out in change. For instance, one man has been buying two evening papers from me every afternoon for several years. If he has any pennies I never see them. He always throws down a nickel. picks up his two papers from each pile and then takes three pieces of candy. which he chews while waiting for his train. Other men saw him do this and followed suit. and now It's quite the regular thing"

Porto Rico's best foreign customer Is Cuba. to which country 1t sold $31S,777 importing but E'z4l worth . or or States, however, which is not a foreign country, that the island does business.

The Hartford (Conn.) Times is one Northern newspaper which has learned something about the negro. Recently a MT. Savage spoke on the subject of deal ing with the colored people and advocat- ed the plan of giving them control of towns or small cities where they could have everything their own way. To this suggestion The Times says:
 It is easy enough to say Let them have control of small cities'-that is so long as you have no acquaintance with the negro. As soon as you get a few rudiments of knowledge about him you find that unless the negro has the re- straining and inspiriting force of the white man immediately about him, he at once begins to relapse into barbarism. Furthermore, the negro does not desire to live in towns or cities where there are no white people and there is no reason to believe that he can even be induced to do 1t on any considerable scale.
