DOUBLES GOLDEN SYMBOL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses cer- tain signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole field of newspaperdoEn which comes under it's notice, and one of these signs IS the mystic symbol denoting golden" which stands for high quality. and is thus explained:
 Advertisers value this papsr mora for ths class and quality of its circulation than for the mere number Of copies printed"
 Such papers are credited with single sym bol; but there is a higher grade, according ts this standard authority. which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY. and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL vv to describe adequately their standing.
 The Advertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol [00l and is the Oaly paper so distinguished in this section ot the South.

Plundered to the Limit.

St Louis GlobeDemocrat.
 The United States is suffering from a great coal hold-up, with the parties res ponsibe for it not yet identified. Coal barons and railroads standing in with them have produced an intolerable situa- tion. Fortunately. the winter is nearly over and there will be time to study means of relief. The people are espe- cially disgusted with coal trusts and cor ners. They have been plundered and op- pressed beyong the line of endurance and demand to be protected by effective gov ernment and legislative measures.

Not the Quotation Referred To.

MontgOmery, FeBruaTy %, I51o. Editor The Advertiser:
 In one of your issues of last week, which have unfortunately mislaid. you quoted some editor who speaks of the wish. 70 that mine enemy had written a book" as recorded in the Bible, and you commented somewhat after this fashion. If my memory serves me faithfully: We suspect that our esteemed contemporary would be puzzled to give chapter and verse for this quotation
 Will you permit me to give you the in formation? In Job :35 we find this verse: "Oh that one would hear me! be- hold. my desire Is that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine ddver- sary had written book"

The Chicago Record-Herald says the South should get rid of such representa- lives as Wise and Tilman. How can we? Wise is not now a resident of the South. but he keeps his mouth busy, and We can't get rid of Tillman unless we deport him, as many Northern communi- ties do the negroes. Between those who remain with us and those who go North and keep on talking we are between two horns. Really we prefer the one who stays, if there is any choice.

Has Had Enough.

Huntsville Mercury.
 If Colonel Bryan's party fealty hinges upon the acceptance of his particular views irrespective of the views of other tried and trusted party leaders. his days of usefulness are about ended. He was able to drive the party In 1895 and again in 1900. but in 1904 the Democracy will be apt to dance to different music. The country has had about enough Bryanism to last for time.

Secretary Cortelyou's Opportunity.

Albany IN. J ATguS.
 The list of bureaus and divisions of the new department of Commerce and Labor, over which Secretary Cortelyou is to pre- side reads like an enumeration of the titles and dignitles of an oriental despot Secretary Cortelyou Is a man of sense and we lok to him to abolish or conson- date about two-thirds of these bureaus as soon as he gets the ropes learned. and in the course of year or two he could probabably wipe out most of the remain ling one-third. There is great oea4 too doing business in Washington and too many Tite Barnaeles in the service we have hopes of Cortelyou.

S'sx'a; A Mass Meeting to Nominate
 Candidate for Mayor.


 A Mass Meeting to Nominate a
 Candidate for Mayor.
 Editor The Advertiser: At the last meeting of the Municipa' Union of Ward 2 it was resolved that a mass meeting should be held al the auui torium to nominate three candidates TOT Aldermen at large. This recommehdatioh was made, 1t is presumed, on account or the large number of candidates to be Al dermen at large for the city: Ihe m portance and responsibility Of such or ficers is so great that it was deemed nee essary that all the citizens should be con- suited
 As such a conference is wise for the nomination of such candidates. how much more wise would 1t be to nominate Mayor by ali the people after deiibera - : tion and due conference. The number or candidates for the position of Aldermen at large, induced the policy of mass meeting. The number of candidates TOT the mayoralty renders a conference m a mass meeting or convention of the citi- zens no less necessary. The office Is too important to leave the nomination to scramble among men, some of whom are generally conceded to be absolutely un- fit for it. Oconel.
