The southerner Abroad.

The Macon Telegraph says during
the persecution of its Protestants
France gave of its best blood to other
countries, including the United States.
Likewise the Southern States during
the intolerable era Of reconstructlon
gave of their best blood TO the West.
and later even to the North. In 1860
there were $4,000 Southern-born
white people living in the North and
West, and in 1900 this number had in
creased to 1900, 900, while in 1900
the number Of people from other parts
of the Union who had boone citizens
OF the South was $50, 003-only half
the number the South has furnished
other sections. Such are the interest
ing statistics presented by Mr. Rich
ard 81. Edmunds, of Baltimore, in an
address before the Alabama Polytech-
mic Institute, showing that the South
has given much more than 1t has re-
ceived through this interchange.
On this point Mr.. Edmunds says
that measured by whatever standard
you may, whether by mere numbers or
by material accomplishments, whether
in the past or the present, the South
has given to the upbuilding of the ma
tion far more In numbers, In energy,
in brain and brawn, than it has re-
ceived from other sections. - This
presents a very different view of the
matter from the traditional Northern
notion so often shown to be a fallacy
that Northern emigrants are the life
and soul Of the modern industrial
South.
It would be interesting to know how
far this view of the Southerner abroad
would be accepted. It has long been
accepted in New York, but we hear
less with regard to other Northern and
Western centres. 1.-THE professional
and commercial Importance of the
Southerners in New York, says the
Sun, commenting on Mr.. Edmunds'
showing, teyceeds that OF the emf
grants from any other part Of the I'm
ion, unless it be New England. In
law, medicine and the church our
Southern born inhabitants have won
distinction, and in business they hold
8 foremost place. Our Indebtedness to
the intellectual yigor Of the South is
great and obvious: and generally the
emigration thence to oGher parts OF
the Union has been remarkable for the
high quality Of ability it brought. "
But the South has not been robbed
of its strength by its gifts to other
sections, as Mr.. Edmunds shows by
those figures of extraordinary indus
trial development with which the most
of US are pretty familiar by this time.
Commenting on the showing, the ap-
preciative Sun remarks: "Great as
has been the draft by other parts of
the Union on the South, it still re-
tains sufficient masterful ability in it's
almost undiluted American stock to
proceed successfully to the further and
complete development Of one of the
most resourceful regions on the face OF
the globe. It is a strong race down
there, as even the most casual traveller
discovers by his observation of the
people he sees as be hurries through

R,vdales Elixir.

The new scientific discovery for diseases
of the throat and lungs, acts upon new
principle differing greatly from the old
style Cough Medicines which are compos-
ed chiefly of wild cherry and tar, which do
Iittle more than stimulate the lining of the
throat and lungs. Rydales Elixir strikes
at the root of the trouble, it kills the NIL
crobes that cause throat and lung diseases.

The Perry Coal & Coke company j

The Perry Coal & Coke company in
which D. e. Williams, of Adams.on, is
ore of the principal stockholders and su-
perintendent, rumor has it, is about to
sell its entire mammoth holdings in Har-
risOn county.
1t is stated that the purchaser IS the
PittsJurg & Fairmont Fuel company, a
concern with capitalization extending
into the millions.
The price can not be learned, but IS
said to be liberal The property being
valuable, it probably reaches the NIL
lions.
An inspection OF the plants and other
property is said to be in progress with
an early contamination OF the deal in
view. According to the report, the deal
win be closed in the next day or 50, if
it is not already.
The property of the Perry Coal 6 Coke
company consists of l,lO0 acres of val
liable surface and 1900 aces of coal The
latter is drift coal and the Pittsburg
vein. This extensive scope is one OF the
most valuable tracts of coal in the world.
1t IS the regular nine.foot vein.
The tract is situated along the Short
line and Baltimore & Ohio railroads.
There are six modern plants With finest
and latest equipments. Among these
plants is the Howard Coal & Coke com
pany plant at Wilsonburg, the Perry Coal
s Coke company plants at Adamstou
and the Pooz Coal & Coke company
plants near Lumberport In addition 10
the great value Of the coal. the surface
Is the finest grazing and tilling lands in
the county.
1t is stated that the prospective pm-
ehascrs will develop the property on a
much more extensive scale than It has
been developed heretofore.
This is one of the most important
deals that has ever taken place in the
county. 1t is the largest deal since the
consolidation of the many mines of this
region into the Fairmont Coal company
and the Clarksburg Fuel company.
Mr.. Williams is practical and up-to-
date coal operator, and has been highly
successful. He is a splendid business
citizen, arl it is to be regretted shat he
win retire from mining operations in
this section. which it is presumed he Win
do, if the deal is consummated.
This gigantic transaction has been on
several months, but was of such plnsni-
tude that it could not be closed before
this time.

Charleston, W. Va, March $50 far
Governor White has vetoed five bills and
he has day or two in which TO do the
same with any of twenty more bills.
The first two bills vetoed were the one
establishing board Of embalmcrs and
the other senator Caldwell's bin con-
eerning attorneys-at.law. These bills
were vetoed while the Legislature was
in session.
Since then the governor has chopped
of the head OF three other measures.
One Of these was Senate bill l59, re-
queing the license tax on money brok-
ers and private bankers from 500 to
$50. Senator Darst was the patron Of
this bill. In vetoing the measure the
governor says:
= am obliged to disapprove this bill
besEasc of the omission of the words
or exchanging one kind of ptoney or
funds. The object in this net Is reduc-
ing the tax in the existing law from
500 to $50, but in seeking to accom-
plish this the existing act was mutilated
and the act, as passed, does not cover
the business for which such license tax
should be imposed"

81. 81 and SC, concerning the formation
Of corporations for the purpose of gen.
Grating power by means of water and
the transmission of the same by cleo
tricity, was vetoed because the governor
says it was evidently framed in ignor-
ance of the fact that Legislature OF 1909
added section SO to chapter 81 Of the
code. The act of 1901 is in regard to
the selling by corporations of their prop
erty. The proposed law did not repeal
the act Of 1901, was not germane TO it,
and therefore, could not exist under the
same title.
Senate bill 25, the anti-claim sgcnt

ernor says he regrets TO veto it, as the
bin is nleritorious and Its purpose is to
