Nswspapsrs Of Alabama.

Do you know that there are z2s nsws- papers published in Alabama, and that twenty-one of them are daily newspa- persf It is interesting to note the prog ress of Alabama journalism. Rapid strides have been made by the press of the State in the past few years until no State in the Union. is comparatively ahead of Alabama in quality of daily and weekly newspapers.
 There are but about twelve cities in the State having populations exceeding 5000, yet there are twenty-one daily news papers published in the State. the major- ity of which though not published seven days in e week issue enlarged Sunday editions.
 Besides twenty-one papers there are, ac- cording to late newspaper directory. 1T weekiies. II monthlies. live semi-month- lies, three semi weekliss. and three bi- weeklies, making Q total of 226.
 There is, as is the case in all Southern States, no marked diversity of political principle in Alabama journalism. Of these 226 newspapers, 1So are avowedly Democxa atic, 12 are Republican papers. most of the latter being negro pubiica- tions. The remaining 2l newspapers arc independent and non-political.
 According to, this directory, there is OuC AtCRAbhSut N<sAtS AA2 <Ns~~SosAse". There are 10 weekly and one bi-weelkiy Republican publications.
 Another unique feature of Alabama Journalism is that there is one matrimo- nial newspaper. It is a monthly.
 There are 1s religious papers all of which are issued weekly or monthly.
 There are several papers published in German or Hebrew in the three principal Alabama cities.
 1.
 There are seven papers published in Montgomery, two of which are dafliee.
 Evidences of the prosperity of these newspapers is shown by the fact that a great many of them are 'fated in circu- lation at over 1.oo0 f;that many are print ed entirely at homo even in the smallest towns; that the major portion of them print eight pages and more. and that there are very few towns in the State with populations of 800 that cannot boast weekly newspaper.

According to the NIorgantown daily
newspapers, "A Desperate Chance" the
melo-drama representation of the no
torious Biddlc brothers criminals, which
raised 80 much rumpus in Clark sburg
last spring when council took legal nc
tion and prevented its appearance IN
this city. believing that it was an inn
moral show and one that would tend to
corrupt the morals of younth, a. well as
some older persons. is billed for appear
ance at Swisher's theater, NIorgantown.
September "a. The city council of Nor
gantown ought to get together and take
the same action against the appearance
of this theatrical troupe that the city
council OF Clnrksburg did some time ago.
We believe that that play is not the
kind of a play that should bc. rendered in
a university town. There are many fine
young men attending the State Univer-
sity, the fall term of which has just
opened, and we do not believe that il
would be conducive to their moral wei
fare to witness the extoling of crime
or the derogation of virtue, as we under
stand it Is represented in the rendition
of the play "a Desperate Chance" The
parents of those young men of the state
who are at school ut AIorgantown cry
out against this thing, and the city
council of Morgantown ought to do like
wise.

The Daily News Intentionally and viii
fully misinterprets the spirit in which
the lesson was given it by the Telegram.
That lesson was in the interest of cred
table journalism in this city, but the
News, it appears, seriously objects to
being in that class. but SO long as the
present editors of the Telegram have
anything to do with the newspaper bust
ness in CIarksburg they viii strenuously
demand that all impostors and monstros-
ities bcexeluded.

The News was not arraigned in any
vicious way, when it was caught pilfcr
ing news from the Telegram. No person
alities were INDUCED in. The only thing
attempted was n legitimate criticism OF
the methods of that paper and the pro-
cedure used in making that criticism has
a precedent set by one of the recognized
leading journals of the world. But the
editor of the News showed himself to
be an unprincipled ignoramus, when, hav.
ing no way to get out of the trap, he
aszailed one of the editors of this paper
with. bitter personalities.

The Telegram is ever gratified to hear
that manufacturing Industries contem-
plate locating here and rcjoiees with the
people when they do locate. Why any
paper should be Indifferent about such
things and really feel sore, when they
do come, is something no one under
stands, and yet there are people who do
not like to see Others get along or the
city prosper because they themselves
hove not the ability to prosper.

the prominent young bankers of the city
had been elected a cashier, but the News
did not get on to it, until its editor

Father Didn't.


That's the reasou some merchants
today don't advertise.
That's about the only reason. too.
Father, grandfather. etc., didn t
advertise. and made fair success. so
why should l. they try to reason.
They don't realize that father lived
in dark era. comparatively speaking.
At least. they don't seem to.
If father lived today and WAS
not dead one.'' he would be adver.
tising, and advertising largely, most
probably.
He would realize, rs do most of the
young men in business at least, that
the power Of the press can be turned
to mighty good financial advantage for
himself and his business.
He would realize that no other
medium of publicity could be pur-
chased 30 cheaply and with such gen
eral and satisfactory results as the
daily newspaper of general circula
ton
Business men of today who don't
do things today because father didn /
are generally the proprietors Of a
little musty store, the owners of a
dyspeptic temperament and are dis
seminntors Of pessi mistic views on the
future and what it will bring forth.
Father didn't advertise because he
had little in which to advertise.
Contrast today.
Newspapers were so hiph priced
and their circulation SO limited it
made the price of space almost pro
hibitive.
Contrast today.
II was not the custom then for the
housewife to go over the paper each
morning to see the days bargains
Contrast today.
There was no realization of the
coming power of the press then and
the influence it could yield.
Contrast today.
1t was not possible then to have the
paper delivered for hundreds Of piles
in the same day to present that day \
business offerings

And 80 the reasons might be car
ried out aud on indefinitely. The
summing up of the situation is simply
that conditions were so totally differ

ed was attacked through the filing of
an appeal from the Fourth judicial
district. 1t is claimed that the act
of March 23, 1893 was. unconstitu-

vided for a division of all the funds
Cf Ell Paso county with Teller county,
the latter being newly created out Of
the territory formerly composing Ell
Paso county. The case was deci ded
In the district court upon an agreed

When Teller county WAS created. it
was provided that the funds of Ell
Paso were to be divided between the
mother county and Teller in proper
tion to the ratio of taxable property.
At meeting of the commissioners
of the two counties it was decided to
dive the county funds, Ell Paso retain

they have disobeyed by striking. and
