The Value of Appreciation.
From the Outlook.

From the Outlook
 Many men and women underestimate the value of expressions; they take too many things for granted; they assume that their affection or their gratitude or their sense of obliga tion is understood without words. Such people are often sur rounded by those who are craving some expression of affection. some word of ap- proval some kind of recognition. The best work is sometimes done with shut teeth and fixed purpose in dead silence so far as the world is concerned without murmur of applause or a word of thanks; but this is not the way in which work ought to be done among intelligent men and women. and 1t is not the way in which, as rule. the best work Is evoke d from the greatest number of people The majority of men and women get the best out of themselves when they are in a congenial atmosphere. This is particular ly true of those finer kinds of work which express individuality, quality, and person. al gift.

Oxen in Huntsville.

sThe first yoke of oxen seen on the. streets of Huntsville for a number of years came into town a few days ago with a load of cotton" said visitor. "They were driven by picturesque specimen who showed plainly that he was from Georgia and pronounced Cracker at that The yoke attracted much atten- tion from idle bystanders, as we now flat ter ourselves that we can put on metro- politan airs.
 'The days of the old OK teams In the south are passing. and in some respects it is a good sign. It shows that our poorer classes are becoming blessed with this worlds goods Even negroes have outgrown OK teams, and nearly all of them in the country possess mules or horses. It matters not that their ami mals are scant of flesh and unprepos- sessing. They are more imposing than the slow plodding OK, and most country darkies turn up their noses at their neighbors on an OK cart"

No Crash Cominu.

Wind and water are collapsing, but this is healthy and desirable reform, and it has not and will not affect the real wealth of the country. In partic- ular, it will not affect the south when it is full of innocent cotton-possibly '4en-cent cotton-or the west when it has plenty of corn, oats and wheat to sell. It will not affect the solid wealth of the east. It will simply eliminate the dangerous promotion craze that Wall street sharks had devised, and it will do no more.
 Comparatively speaking this process of getting rid of promoters may lead but the duration of dull times will not be prolonged. It is in truth a question whether the succeeding year will be a dull one. All observers say the west and south are full of activity. The Baltimore American quotes Reuben Foster, president of the Chesapeake Steamship company, who travelled with the Spencer party, as follows: Every business center of the south, such as Richmond, Norfolk, Greensboro, At lanta, Birmingham, Knoxville and Charlotte, was visited by our party and we found the general growth oi the community, the manufacturing in terests, the business interests and the general condition of affairs most sat isfactory. was very much gratified to learn that the great shrinkage and slump in securities, especially in Wal street has in no way affected the south ern prosperity. Everything is on the boom there, and the business man and the manufacturer does not seem tc care very much what the bulls and bears are doing"
 And what MT. Foster says of the south may also be said of the west Prosperity will continue because the mines and fields of the country arc

served ten years of life sentence, and he is seventy years old, and Governor Jelks decided to let the old soldier go home that he might die under his own roof amid his old friends.
 Governor Jelks issues no parole or pardon except after the most careful consideration of the facts in each in stance. This, however, does not cut off criticism. The recent execution of Felix Hall is an example of such crit icisms. The particular criticisms came from Halls lawyer, MT. Denegre. The exact facts are these. At the instance of Mir Denegre Governor Jelks grant ed Hall respite, and because of the statement that Hall was not the man who should be hanged, Governor Jelks asked MT Denegre and his associates. to file with Judge Dan Greene all the proofs they could get up. Hall was re-  spited a second time, and Governor Jelks even gave Judge Greene power to draw on the contingent fund.- for the expenses of procuring any wit nesses Hall desired to secure. After considering the case ninety days Judge Greene gave it as his opinion that Hail was the guilty man, and the law was allowed to take its course. Everything was done that could be done to enable Halls attorneys to establish his inno- cence.
 The Hall case is mentioned to show how carefully Governor Jelks proceeds in all pardon matters, and criticism of his course in pardon cases will on full investigation be apt to be found to be unfounded. Doubtless he could make mistake, but beyond all doubt he strives to avoid mistakes in such grave matters.

White SUuremaCv.

With it's accustomed candor the Mo bile Register unhesitatingly says: Senator German appeals for recogni- tion of the facts and for the legal per petuation of white supremacy He leads in a great contest that must ab- sorb public attention, north and south. He sounds the keynote to which public sentiment must respond in harmony. He sounds it clearly and courageously. There is no question on which side victory ultimately will rest"
 The Register has at times been friendly to the slogan -Four Years More for Grover" but it sees that the Maryland platform and Senator Cor man sound the keynote of the times when they declare that the whites "shall ever have possession of this country" We will not admit Arizona and New Mexico because they indulge in a Latin tongue, and Senator Cor man and the Maryland democracy say that this is white mans country as well.
 This issue does not mean that the blacks are to be deprived of single civil right It does not mean that in- justice outside of the law shall be done to any human being, but it does mean that public affairs shall forever re- main in the hands of the race that made the laws There is not an in- telligent black man who will not as sent to this proposition-not one. It is best for all for the blacks as well as for the whites.
 The issue has been forced to the front by the administration, and Mr. German meets it firmly and wisely He admits that President Roosevelt is a man of honest convictions, but he as- serts that he has made mistakes which have brought forward as leading and commanding issue the supremacy of the white race The people of Maryland will on Tuesday speak in nc uncertain tone, and if they declare that Senator German is right, the rest of the country will accept the great and inevitable issue, and Arthur Pue German will be selected as it's best and most courageous exponent.

The iron Market.

The shipments of iron from this dis trict have been larger within the past five or six days than in any week during the fall, said railroad official. "The move ment was stimulated of course by the fact that the month was ending, manufsctu- rers having sold for October delivery, hurrying so as not to let November over take them. But the market is evidently more active than 1t was a few weeks ago."

J. BULL DRINKS TOO MUCH.

From the Boston Home Journal
 Statistics, "shakier than ever on this line, assure us that the average English man consumes, in a year, two bottles of wine, IFS bottles of beer, and six bottles of spirits. Frenchman dsposes of Al bottles of wine, thirty of beer and eleven Of spirits. If these figures are at all de- pendable, an interesting question arises as to whether this large consumption of wine IS the cause or the effect of the fiery Gallic or Celtic temperament. If stolid John Bull would let up on beer for a while, interesting historical develop ment might follow
