 The presence of the late Major D. c. White, one of the oldest newspaper men in the state, will be missed by Alabama of the Moulton Advertiser at the time of his death and has contributed many bright paragraphs during his twenty years connection with the paper.
 Dr. Edelman of Huntsville, expects that he will be highly successful in his pro ject to colonize immigrant Jews on 24O,00o acres of South alabama land donated by the Southern railroad. As a result of the recent anti-Semitic disturbances in the old world Dr. Edelman is convinced that nothing short of extermination Is intended and expects a number of Jews to reach Mobile this fall.
 Plans for the state reunion of Confed- crate veterans in Birmingham November 4, are rapidly maturing. The veterans are looking forward with pleasant anticpa- tions to meeting old comrades. Head- quarters will be in the Hotel Hillman and the various committees are now busily engaged in making preparations to receive the visitors. A rate of one cent mile has been granted by the railroads.
 There now seems to be a growing belief in the state that since the two Cosbys have been pardoned by the President all others convicted of peonage prior to that date should be shown like clemency. These cases have attracted widespread attention and Alabamians seem anxious to end the discussion by general forgive ness all around, provided the practice has been finally stamped out. In view of later developments the talk may not yet be ended and there are many people in this state who firmly believe those convicted of unlawfully restraining the liberty of ignorant persons should suffer full punishment.
 Montgomery is being roundly criticised by the state papers for the unfortunate death of a young boy through starvation and the deplorable condition in which other members of the family were dis covered. The general opinion seems to be that such a case is a blot on Alabama. Starvation is indeed unusual and should never be allowed to happen in this land of plenty but our southern cities are not very well equipped for hunting out the unfortunate. When they do not make their wants known such tragedies can easily happen. Usually the poor of our southern cities are not backward in call ing for aid and there are few eases of real destitution that go unrelieved.

FORTUNE IN BILLS

Credence Is given the report,

rather eccentric. He was farmer
and when oil was found In the old
Mcbride City field his farm was In
the heart of the region and pro-
duce thousands of barrels of oil.
A few years ago Mr.. Mangel was
victimlzed out of $1,000 by card
swind1ers, and that Is believed to
have made him extra cautious In
caring for his money. 1t Is said
that while Mangel lett considerable
money when he died last March,
the amount was not as large as his
relatives expected he made no men
tion of a hiding place In the cellar,
however, and If the present find
proves true, 1t will account for the
money which his heirs thought he
had.

HOT WEATHER WISDOM

from the accumulated excess up to

Even the most robust can afford

lect that pouring iced drinks into
heated interiors does not bring re-
lief, but augments woe. Drink
plentifully, but of water not colder
than comes from the spring. And
do not rush save strength, and you
will accomplish just as much In the
end. And keep on the shady side
of the street. and don't eat the sort
of meats that are concocted by the

ten that most important injunction
of all-don't worry. In short, keep
cool.

blaze which was discovered In the
boiler house of the planning mill Of

LOOK TO The Future.

Next Monday evening, at the regu-
lar monthly meeting Of the city coun-
ell. will doubtless come up for deter
mination the question Of at once lay
ing a system of sewerage, and IL would
be well for people interested in the
health of the present citizens Of the
city, as well as those contemplating
the future, to urge upon the council
men the necessity of prompt action,
and, as well, a system not only ade-
quate for immediate demands. but
that will admit of extensions in the fu-
ture without forfeit of any portion Of
the original cost.
Not that we think there is danger
that the council will not do the pro-
er thing-for everyone of them are
live, progressive business men, but
they have solicited the opinions Of
the citizens, and having been asked
to participate in the decision. we be-
lieve it well for the people to manifest
their desires.
That L.ewistown Is at present in
great need OF a moderate sewerage
system admits of no doubt. The pres
ent condition Of low lots. cellars and
some of the streets and alleys is
abominable. but cannot he permanent
ly improved until drainage is provid-
ed. With sewer connections possible
there will be a much wider use for
water from the city mains than now
and the income from that source will
be materially augmented.
That Lewistown Is going TO con
tinue il growth is equally certain. and
no city is long going to be satisfied
with a sewerage system the outlet of
which is within the present city linn
it's. If more money than is o avail
able is required, and there appears no
doubt of II, let the people be asked
to- authorize an additional bond issue
and from such source let sufficient
money be secured to not only put in
moderate priced sewerage. but also
provide for extensions of the present
water mains and a decent-and we use
that word advisedly-place for the
keeping of the city records. meeting
of the council and fire department and
covering Of the apparatus.

improvements are to be secured this
year and the Argus would be pleased
