that less charity Is asked than has

Water from the Tennessee.

Senator Morgan is man who looks ahead. He sees the value of an open gravity canal from larger and better streams than Jones valley holds, and he does not hesitate to say that canal should be dug, if need be, from some point on the Tennessee river notably from Guntersville All thoughtful men feel the need or more water in this
 valley and in the Warrior, but all see that it is better to have Chairman Bur tons good will than his ill will. MT. Burtons judgment as to rivers and harbors is very potential in Washing ton. and he advises patience. He says we should begin from the sea and pro- ceed step by step-he does not say to Guntersville, but he is man of high
 intelligence, and he knows to a nicety what we need. There is not a reasona- ble doubt as to what he will recom- mend when all Instructions below this valley have been removed. He has be- come firm friend of an Open Warrior.

Conviction 0 Ralph Armstrong.

A jury of his peers, living in his own county, familiar with all the circum- stances, has found Ralph Armstrong guilty of murder and he has been sen fenced to be hanged He had without a particle of justification cut off a bright young life, and In other coun' tries-in the motherland, for example the verdict would have been consid- cred put logical and just conclusion. In Macon county, however, no white man has died on the gallows, and this entire state read the news from Tus- kegee yesterday with mingled feelings of justice afid surprise.
 Let no one, however, think that Ma con county is either better or worse than it's sister counties. In all of them there is a disposition to find an excuse to invent one if none exists-where- by white man of wealth or social standing can be saved from the eX- treme punishment of the law. Social standing considered, the Ralph Arm strong case is perhaps without par allel in this state It is idle to rail at petit ]uries. It is public sentiment that is Gistorted-so distorted that all are not equal before the law. There is or rather has been--one law for the poor and friendless, and another law for the rich and influential. The value of the Ralph Armstrong verdict con sists in the fact that unuer the consti- tuition of 1901 the goddess is beginning at last to hold the scales even. The life of the poor misguided prisoner is forfeit to the state, and the case marks an important upward step in the ad' ministration of law in this state.

Gettina a Cow Out of Mire.

Did you ever try to get COW out of a marsh?" asked a man who was raised near the swamps.
 ''It used to be a frequent occurrence on our farm to have the stock wander too far into the boggy places and often the cows would get stuck ard require as- sissance in getting out.
 We used to have two methods. One of them was to tie a rope around the an- imals neck and all hands take hold and pull. Sometimes they got too deep for this process to be effective, however, and we had to use our other method
 When a COW mired into the mud the full length of her legs we often had to take logs and gradually build a platform out to where she was. After that we would take rails and put under her and gradually pry her up so she could get a footing on the legs. This was done in much the same manner as you would pry a nail, except that prying cav out of a mire makes the process take place on a somewhat larger scale"

Alabama Coal in the Navy.

Congressman Underwood's letter ad. dressed to President Jackson of the Commercial club fully explains the status of Alabama coal in the navy de- partment. West Virginia coal is pre- ferred, becouse it has proven satisfac- tory in actual use. Alabama coal has not been used, and it has not in many years been subjected to an actual test. MT. Underwood desires such a test as preliminary step towards securing the use of Alabama coal in the navy. He expresses no fear of unjust action by the naval authorities if it can be shown beyond all doubt that Alabama coal contains excellent steam-making properties, with no undesirable quali- ties.
 It may seem rather late in the day to explain the steam coal of this dis trict. Merchant ships have long filled their bunkers with it at New Orleans, Mobile and Pensacola, and it reaches the sea with less transportation charges attached than any other coals. But it must be remembered that the navy is full of red tape-that powerful influences are adverse to any shifting of contracts from West Virginia, and that the demand for a new test is not unrea -onable. The Commercial club should see that one is made that will answer every objection that rivals can suggest.
 Once let it be known that Alabama coal has been accepted by the navy, all others will accept it without question. It is the endorsement we need more than the actual contracts, although the latter are by no means small. When work on the isthmian canal is begun, there will be an increasing demand for coal from this district, and the pro posed test at Pensacola next spring is an important piece of business. No more important business will come to the hands of President Jackson and Of his colleagues. Between Congressman TTnderwood and the Commercial club the subject is well started, and every preparation should be made for thorough test of Alabama coal by the North Atlantic squadron when it's ren- dezvous is Pensacola next spring. MT Underwood has the matter well in hand, and he should have ample sup port from the folks at home. The | Commercial club has struck pay dirt in this matter.

 THE GFTDTRON CLUBS GREAT DINNER

of the room transformed into brilliant glow of myriads of electric lights. and the entire assemblage joined in the chorus, and the dinner was again in full swing
 The speeches of the evening. of which no report is made. were happily in keep ing with the spirit of the occasion.

Charles F.. Murphy and others. Mr. Louis A. Coolidge, the vice president of the club, presided in the absence of MT. Will liam E.

Cost of Livinq in Birminqham.

The Commercial club proposes to in vestigate the cost of living in this city as compared with the cost in nearby cities, the whole inquiry having rela- tion to industrial and business pros perity. As 1t is always best to know where we stand as a community, the proposed investigation should be con ducted to fearless conclusion. If living expenses are higher in this town than they are in Memphis, Nashville, Atlanta or Montgomery, let the truth be told, and above all else the reasons why. and the items of excess or de- fciency.
 As articles of food are drawn in all the towns named from common sources, and as the pay of servants is nearly alike in all the towns named, it is plain the investigation will re- solve itself into one of the relative cost of sheltering roofs. It is probably case of too much landlord or rather C. too little roof for the monthly toll demanded. Rents in this town are on the basis of five dollars a room. Resi- dence property is firmly held at that basis. How do similar properties rent in surrounding cities? When this question is elucidated there will not be much left to be cleared up. High rents increase the cost of living with re morseless steadiness, and no item Is 50 severely felt es the monthly demand of the landlord. No one questions the landlords right to a reasonable return from his investment, and then there comes in the question of value. Ficti tious or inflated values are no doubt al the bottom of the high cost of living in this town.
 Possibly domestic service costs more here than it does in some towns, but fuel on the other hand is lower-priced Nashville may buy chickens and eggs on better terms, but it's taxes arc higher. Atlanta has cheaper water rates, but it's gas bills preSumably arc higher. Memphis no doubt gets low freight rates, but it is faNher away from the great eastern marke{s. Mont

and Congressmen Underwood and Bankhead have confidence in his hon esty of purpose and his broad and un- selfish patriotism.
 The Commercial club does not at all question Senator Morgan's foresight. The members of the club know, in fact, that our grand old senator sees with prophetic eyes the great need of this district, but they are satisfied that we will have to proceed step by step from the sea upwards. Fortunately the work is well advanced, and it is to be hoped that Senator Morgan will live to see an isthmian canal, and a canal from the Tennessee to the Warrior, opened. He has striven long and well for both, but great works cannot be constructed in day, and the Commer- cial club has acted wisely in adopting the progressive programme that bears the endorsement of Chairman Burton and Congressmen Underwood and Bankhead.

Emmet O. O,NeaI.

The Hon. Emmet O'Neal of Florence, who was a prominent member of the constitutional convention, is at the Metro politan. He returned last night from a trip to Montgomery, where he went to look after some business matters. He said: Florence has just passed through a heated municipal campaign which re- suited in a victory for the present ad- ministration, the ticket being headed by Mayor Walker. One of the great issues in our county is the question of dispen- sary or prohibition. The dispensary was tried in Florence but was not successful Twenty-one blind tigers were in opera ton during the dispensary period. A number of people preferred to order their whisky rather than trade with the dis pensary Between prohibition and the dispensary we prefer prohibition" Pass ing to the other subjects, MT. O'Neal said: "Lauderdale has the best natural resources of any county in the state for the constructing of public roads. We intend to build our roads we'll as we go."
 In speaking of national politics, he re- marked "The democrats must select a man of the Cleveland type if they want to win out in the national election. They must nominate a man who has the confi- dence of the conservative and business element of the country"
