That argument will not do. With all the means now at our command to aIl- nihilate distance, that boy who is unwili- ing to go hundred miles. or more, for an education, would not take an educa, ton if it's was put before him, and just at his feet. He is too lazy. to take an education. Look at Sewanee! What place could be more inaccessible! fet, believe it has an enrolment or over seven hundred. The argument IS noe And so 1t will be found upon an anaiysis of every other argument advanceo m favor of the removal of the University.
 So taking every thing into consideranon' the location of the University, the ren- gious and moral influences now thrown around the student body here at Greens boro, and a due regard to the wishes, 70 say nothing of the legal rights, Of those persons through whose beneficence the University was founded and has been supported, the Alabama Conference or the Methodist Church should not enter tain for a moment the idea of removing the University unless the proof Is evt- dent and the presumption great that the cause of Christian education from the standpoint of a Methodist would be ad. vanced by the proposed removal. All of which we think is wanting in the present instance.
 This article is not written in any spirit of animosity toward Montgomery, but that we cherish for the University in its present quarters. to present truly Greens boro's claims and Gre nsboro's side of the question, and we trust 1t will be so received and that 1t may generate in the minds of the fair-minded, serious thought action is taken.

The Crusade Against PeOnage.

Chicago Record-Hefald.
 It Is highly satisfactory to know that the Southern States have not stopped ac- tive efforts for the suppression of peonage since the quieting down of the general discussion of the subject throughout the country.
 The convictions of last summer were in the Federal Court for the Middle District of Alabama. In the Northern District at Birmingham five citizens of Csosa County pleaded guilty of the crime a few weeks ago and received Sl,000 fines. Now it is reported that the Federal grand jury at New Orleans has found ind ctments against several planters and contractors on the same charge. There have also been convictions in Florida and in Geor-

Barbarous Surgical Operation
For the Cure of Piles.

Is not only intensely painful. dangerous to life and very expensive, but in the light of modern medical research, anc since the discovery of the Pyramid Pile Cure, wholly unnecessary. If you have any doubt on this point kindly read the following letter from one who knows that the claims regarding the ,merits of the Pyramid Pile Cure are borne out by facts.
 For long time I suffered with blind piles. They gave me so much pain and uneasiness that they almost disqualified me for doing anything. saw an ad In The Atlanta Journal of Pyramid Pile Cue and ordered a 50 cent box. I used them and they gave me relief; that encouraged me and bought another 50 cent box and they cured me. Oh how glad that I am well again!'
 ''The Pyramids cured me and am sat isfied they will cure anybody else who is suffering as was, if they will use them. 1
 You may use this in any way you sec proper, if my experience will encourage any sufferer to use your Pyramids I shall be glad" H. K. Hicks, Calhoun, Ga.
 The Pyramid Pile Cure Is sold by drug gists for 50 cents package, and it's merit Is so well known that the sales exceed those of all similar remedies combined.

Death From Bad Dreams If
 Heart is Weak. To Awake in Fear a
 Bad Symptom. Dr. Miles Heart Cure
 VIII Cured You.

Recent investigations by specialists on the heart have demonstrated that in nine cases out of ten of deaths in bed, heart action was stopped by fear, which bad dreams or nlgnt- mare had brought on. After careful study of the habits of those who died in over thousand cases, it has been found that the majority had been sufferers from nightmare or nocturnal disturbances ot dreamiand, ana that frequently they awoke in the middle q the night completely exhausted and graveIy alarmed through some particularly Vivid dream. Thus we learn to recognize dream ing and nightmare as marked symptom or heart disease. Be warned in time. Strengthen the hearts action with Dr. Miles heart Cure, which enriches the blood, improves the circulation, regulates the pulse and inVlgor- ates the heart nerves.

BIG BUILDING BOOM.

New York Special.

New York Special.
 From all sources come prophecies that 1904 will see general resumption of millions of dollars in investments and millions in wages for workmen.
 Every sign is said to be favorable. The shows symptoms of becoming less con servative at the outset of the new year; the difficulties between the union of em- ployers and the unions of employees by
 which the entire building industry of the city was tied up for months are practical ly adjusted; there is a healthy and grow ing demand for more buildings of almost every kind, and, finally, 1t is noticeable that men of wealth heretofore content only with securities are beginning to re- alize the value of New York realty as a permanent and safe investment.
 The building year actually begins when winter ends: but the coldestN months are the busiest, for their owner, architect and contractor prepare plans for the actual
 work. At the office of every architect of standing, Saturday. it was said that all the work that could be conveniently done
 was being attended to.
 The year 1904 will be marked by the be- ginning of two notable improvements, in which the entire financial benefit will
 accrue to the building trades. These are the beginning of the construction work on the new Pennsylvania Railroad Station, on which, it Is estimated, $10,000,000 will
 be spent, and the new station of the New s. 900, 600 will be expended. Both roads, as a matter of fact, will spend many times
 the amounts stated in general improve
 ments. but the buildings themselves are planned to cost those sums.
 The opening of the subway will throw open a heretofore inaccessible district
 most desirable for residences. It will re- quire millions to build up its avenues into business blocks.
 Operators, speculators. contractors and architects seen were unanimous in de- claring that while 1904 will not touch the years 1901 and 1899 in the volume of bus mess done, still it will be healthy move that can keep every building trade work man in the city busy.
 With the exception of the contractors, the opinion was generally held that the strike of the last summer was in reaiIty a blessing in disguise; that New York had been building too rapidly for two years and the check allowed the demand | to reach the supply.

Gossip of men

Montpomerv,s Good Health.

"The good health of this town is truly remarkable" observed a Montgomery un- dertaker yesterday Ut may not have been noticed especially but 1t is d fact that but two white persons have died ln Montgomery in the past ten days. One of these was an infant and the other was a visitor to the city,
 If you will glance over the list of deaths published by the newspapers of Birmingham, Mobile. Selma, Anniston and other cities of Alabama, you'll get a fair idea of what the comparison means to Montgomery. Our death rate among the negroes is not so good, but few negroes have died in Montgomery during this month.
 Physicians tell me that there is little sickness in Montgomery now, notwith- standing November is not regarded as an exceptionally good month for health.
 ''The undertaken Is not as hard-hearted as popular opinion has it," he concluded. He has a heart as well as others, and he can rejoice with others at this tempo rary immunity from general sickness and death. But business in this town in cur line Is certainly dull these days"

Recollections off old Depots.

''I read with a great deal of interest what a traveller said of the old and the new depot at Montgomery" said visitor Montgomery a long time ago, all the railroads had their own depots. Passen- gers from Atlanta and the East were landed at the old Western Railroad Depot this side of where the Western coal yard is now. They had to come to the city in hacks, or as many of us did, walk, car rying our own baggage. On the other side of town passengers from the South were put out at the old Mobile depot, this side or near the Hall stores. The Eu- faula depot was where the freight depot was for long time. After the South and North Road was built the Union Depot was conceived and all trains began then to run into the depot at the foot of Com Iherce Street"

FLATTERY or NEGRO
Is Hurtful to Him-Comment from
 British Public.

London Cable.
 The people of London were extremely shocked with the news of the murder of Andrew H. Green, the famous New York CT. reached this city, and the fact that he was killed by a colored person is being largely commented upon.
 It is the general opinion here that the United States committed a grave mistake when they, instead of being satisfied with liberating the negro from slavery, not only gave him equal rights with the white man, but especially at election time have often fiattered his vanity in every way In order to get his vote.
 From the experiences the British have had with the colored people they have reached the conclusion that as a rule they are unit to be considered equals of the white man, though there are, of course, exceptions.
 It Is therefore no surprise to people who have an intimate knowledge of the char acter of people of African origin that two of the recent most sensational assassina- tions in New York have been committed by negroes.

The River and Rainfall.

"Why Is 1t that the river never gets so high as it used to?" asked citizen yesterday. "Is it because there is not as much rain as formerly, caused by the thinning out of the forest?" he asked. That is the only plausible reason l have ever heard given and it must be the real cause. can remember when the Ala bama River used to get way up into the foot of Commerce Street, almost if not further than the mouth of the footpath now extends. Once it went into the Wind sor Hotel cellar. It never gets high now and those who know say that it will get less and less year after year as we con- tinue to cut down the trees and destroy the forests along the banks of the river After awhile when the forests go it may stop running altogether

Referring to The Advertisers argu- ments for payment of poll taxes, The Baldwin Standard says:
 And yet for doing this duty our present system Of. laws fines the man, if he be does not pay the fine he Is disffanchised. It is the same way if he builds or other wise improves his property. or produces more wealth; He IS nned by increasine The Advertiser should aid in changing it for a better one.
 It Is . strange kind of argument that would regard the payment of poll taxes as fine or penalty, when we consider the use to which that tax is put. To say that requiring . citizen of Alabama to help to educate the children of Ala bama is to put fine on him is absurd. The penalty for failing to pay a small tax. which every good citizen should with pleasure. Is loss of suffrage. and we do not envy the opinion of himself that a man must fhave when he reflects that he has voluntarily. and for si.5O per an mum. cut himself off from the privilege of helping to select the men who make and execute the laws of the State. A man must entertain a very indifferent opinion of the privileges and benefits of citizenship if he doesn't care to have a voice in selecting the officials under whom he Is to live.
 As to The Standards idea of other taxes it Is useless to argue. for 1t is SC wrapped up in its impossible single-tax theory that it can see nothing right fin any other financial method. The con- tention that a man shouldn't pay higher taxes as his wealth increases, because he has grown rich by his own efforts, is really less tenable than the other. Ii some one will point out a system" by which government can be carried on with out taxing the people we shall be glad to hear of it.

 Quite a lot of fun has been poked at The Montgomery Advertiser over its al legiancs to Grover Cleveland and his idea of Democracy. One thing is certain: Cleveland Is the only man who has led the of Buchanan; and the greatest defeat the party has ever had was when it went gleaning in populistic fields hunting for Boaz In Neb aska. Another just such jaunt will do more to elect Roosevelt than anything else The Advertiser is right in calling a halt and returning to from the days of Buchanan until Ina Grown of Thorns and Cross of Cold idea was infected into the party at Chi cago in IS96 and made 1t possible for Bryan Towne and Tom Johnson to gain notorlety they never would have had thrust upon them had their party moi gone out after strange gods.

Stock Raising Near Here.

stock raising is the thing to do in the section surrounding Montgomery, edge of the situation. "I happen to know" he continued, that there Is no better climate or more advantageous soil for the purpose than is offered here to be found in Alabama. and all it needs IS well adapted to cattle raising that this will overbalance some objections, and that is what is tipping the balance in favor of our lands. It is not cold enough~here for ice hardly two months in the veal. and the grass is green and nutritious most of the time, so that there will have to be but little feed, and where there is cane. very little feed will do. A trial will make this the favorite stock raising part of Alabama"

The remarks made by Senator Pettus on the great American standby, gravy has evoked many comments. The Deni- son( Texas) Herald says:
 The Herald believes it sees its first sign of a great split in the Democratic Party in 1904 One of the gravest and the very oldest of the Democratic Sena- tors of the South has come out sauareIy and fiatly against that great and time honored victual of the plain people gravy. It has been said that ''the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world" That should nevar have been written that way. The real truth is that "the hand that makes the gravy is the hand that rules the world :" if Senator Pettus. of Alabama, insists that we shall not elt gravy, and if a demand is placed in the platform for the devictualization of gravy, The Herald wishes now to announce that 1t will re- fuse to support the ticket. Away with aristocracy!
 We suspect that if "devictualixation of gravy is made part of the national plat from there will be good deal of bucking especially on the part of old-fashioned people. The Norfolk Landmark. too comes into the discussion with a vigorous kick. It respects and venerates our Senator, but declsEes that gravy is older than he. and that none must lay pro. Gans hands on it. Gravy must not be abolished. Senator

Carrie Nation was engaged in some hot talk in room of the White House, used as the office of Secretary Loeb. Mr. Loen said to her: If you want to deliver a lecture you will have to. go outside. These are my ofices;" You are mis- the peoples ofices." Aunt Carrie was right for once.-Memphis News.
 On the contrary, she lacked very much of being right. The idea that an official of the government has no control over the room he occupies as an ofiice is absurd. The same reasoning would throw open every once in the country for any and all who choose to instal themselves in them. There is no good sense in that kind of argument and Mrs Nation had no more right to force her. self in Secretary Loeb's office than any other disturber of the peace has.

Reminiscent of Pickett Springs.

Tn days gone by when we had the old time popular Agricultural Fairs at Pick ett Springs, that place was popular re- sort.' remarked a railroad man. ''The Western Railroad used to run trains out there on all special occasions and the trains were easily comfortably and expe- ditiously handled, and the fairs and -nili- tary displays and other entertainments were of the old time sort.
 These reflect tions are brought about by the thought that so many people went to Pickett Springs this summer. The street railroad made it pay well and next summer 1t will take many more cars to handle the crowds that will go out every day to get the fresh air and to witness the special attractions that will draw them"
