from the Korthern woman. qua surs enough later onS she let the cat out of the bag. While in tfe 0outh uhA haA besn discussing the race problem. and tried to convert her Southern associates to her views on the subject of negro equality. Of course. she found Southern people "intolerant," as she expressed 1t, on that subject. and so she concluded and stated that they were intolorant on all subjects. f
 The Southern people make no secret of the fact that they draw the line sharply between the races. and as Hoke smith. of Georgia. said before the Southern Con ference for Education last spring. that it Is & subject which We will not even dis cuss with outsiders. We do not admit that there is any argument on the other side, and we will not permit even North ern women to argue the question with Us Whenever the Northernefs come down here and begin to talk about social equal ity between the races or any other sort of equality, save the right before the law of life and liberty and property. we turn our backs upon them and refuse to enter into a discussion. On that subject we are intolerant, and we are proud of it.
 But to draw from this conclusion that the Southern people are otherwise intol> erant is illogical and unfair. In the matter of free thought and free speech and religious liberty, and all that. the South is ready any day to compare notes with New England.

Brewers Work.
Hirnnin1ham Ta

fSFmlnRndm lRuBeT I'
 Several men who are interested in the his- tory of the State are trying to prevail on Colonel Willis Brewer to issue another edition of his history of Alabama. and to add volume that will bring 1t down to date.
 It was understood at the time of it's publi- cation that Colonel Brewer lost money on the book. though it was the most popular book ever published in the state. and is still the handbook of newspapers and students That fact should not deter Colonel Brewer from publishing second edition and a second vol ume. Colonel Brewer is temporarily out of public life. anu has the means and the leiisure to do this great service for the State. even though 1t should not be a money making ven- ture. He has given much of his life to the public service and has enjoyed the honor of official life in many high positions and has known the history of the State since the res construction days both as a student and per. ticipant. He has served since then as legisa- tor, Senator. State Auditor and as Congress- man and knows personally nearly every man of prominence in the State

Journalism in the South.
Jacksonville Metropolis.

Jacksonville Metropolis
 The two morning and the two after noon newspapers in Richmond decided Saturday to consolidate. and to here after have one morning and one after noon paper instead of two. as formerly
 No doubt. the move was intended as a business stroke. There are not many cities In the South which can support more than two papers. Savannah Ma con. Augusta. Birmingham, Chattanooga. Montgomery and Charleston can only carry two. Atlanta is again trying the experiment of three. Jacksonville has also tried the same experiment, with dis astrous results.
 If Savannah and Charleston with their 5000 population each. cannot hold up three daily papers. how can towns of less population and business do it? There may be more in come cities. but is it either apparent or evident that they are all making more than a bare living, if that?
 Ambition has wrecked many fortunes. and the newspaper business Is just as dangerous a venture in a business point Of view as any ever undertaken. Many men have thought themselves capable of managing a newspaper until they tried it and found out different. It is all non sense for, twice as many newspapers as are wanted or needed in a town to try to exist by dividing up. just so much patron- age and no more. They may not starye out each other but they are pretty apt to keep all down and from making any money. The conclusion of the Richmond papers is commendahie one.

pou1LE GOLDEN SYMBOL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses cer- tain signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole feid of newspaperdom which comes under its notice, and one of those signs ,s the mystic symbol Sl denoting golden" which stands for high quality. and h thus explained:
 Advertisers value this paper more for the class and quality of its circulation than for tho mere number of copies printsd.'
 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 [ xv to describe adequately their standing.
 The Advertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol [ eel and is the oai, paper so distinguished in this section Q, the South.

FOR BETTER JuR1Es.

In the course of a strong editorial on the jury question The Selma Times says.
 If the proposed bill becomes a law and the fact goes abroad among the criminal cfnsses that the honest farmer. the busy merchant, the thoughtful teacher, the xodiy minister, the busy tanker, the capitalist and the clerk were going to take their places in the sary box, to the exclusion of the professional juror it would act as a mighty deterrent to crime.
 It will not only have that effect, but 1t will add largely to the respect due to courts in Alabama. Under the law as if now stands it is possible to get a jury composed of good and well qualified p.en. Of those best fitted for jury Cuty are exempt under our present laws tLat it is often difficult. and sometimes impossi bie. to get full panel cf ncn who are qualified to pass on an important case.
 As The Times elsewhere observes it is often a hardship for a business or pro fessional man to serve on jury, but that Is one of the duties of citizen and it should be borne for She public good To the professional juryman, and to many others who are poorly 4ualified for the place the pay is a big thing To others the loss of time and money resultant from sitting on a jury is really d seri- ous matter, but that is no excuse in law and should be none in fact and in prac- tice. We need law which will make 1t possible in all our courts to get juries composed largely or entirely of the very best men in the community Then jury trials will be looked on with far more respect and confidence than they are now.

Our Trade Expansion.

Philadelphia Record.
 The enormous development of trade be- tween the United States and Japan in a recent period Is seen in reports to the State Department at Washington. Not less than fifty-eight steamships are now plying between Japan and our ports on the Pacific Ocean. Almost every steamer from Japan brings valuable shipments of manufactured silks in it's cargo. besides large quantities of raw silk. The tea imports from China have also largely de- veloped and promise to increase still more under repeal of the duty. In exchange the chief exports from the United States to Japan are ma achinery. agricultural i'm plements. four and corn meal. tobacco, raw cotton and spirits.

Expand Some Other Way.

 It is said that a warm fight will occur In the Legislature over the child labor bill. How law makers can have the nerve to fight over the problem to protect chil- dren. some mere babes, from being dwarf ed in mind and body by being forced to work fin factories from nine to twelve hours day we cannot see from this dis tance. There should be a crusade against such heartless practice even though we have to go back to the old fashion loom and spinning wheel. If, Alabama cannot secure industries without robbing the children of their health and happiness let's expand some other way.

Wants Votes of Negro Delegates.

Clayton Record.
 While Mir. Roosevelt ca7lot carry Mis- sissippi in the next years election, he can carry the negro delegates in the party convention by and through such prac- tices as are disclosed in the Indianola affair. The whole country understands his motive. He may succeed but the seeds are already planted which will ultl- mateiy grow a fruitage of dissension and disruption in the party. The people will not always bear the vast burden of the tariff. and of trusts. and of growing pen- sions, and of legislation for a party. In- deed it is now within the throbbing hope that some Moses may reform the columns of the Democratic hosts, and lead them to a mighty victory fin the year 1904.

 We met a man the other day whose ambition to retire from active life at 50 years. We could not help thinking that his expecta- tion of ease and comfort would undoubtedly be most bitterly disappointed. The Boston Her ald published some wise words from the yen crable Senator Pettus of Alabama. which are well worth careful consideration.

A Matter of Taste.
Lliadega Mountain Home

An old Latin saw. translated. runs to the effect that about matters of taste there can be no dispute.'' It may. there fore, be conceded that President Roose- welt should be free to associates with the negro to dine. wine and sleep with them. if he chooses But by no sense of propriety Is he justified in inviting ne- groes and negresses to his official recep- tions, to the disgust of every white ad- tendant of culture and refinement.
 The innovation is a base prostitution of the social functions of the White House not to be tolerated. And if the levees of the President are to become occasions for culture of social equality. they should be spurned by every representative of a white constituency.

 The difference between the North and the South in refer ence to the negro is simply, this Tine North gives him honey d words and leaves him to strave. The South takes care of him when he needs help and gives him bread when he is hungry. Not a single case can be shown of where a deserving negro in the South ever went cold or hungry.
