Letters to the Editor.
The City Schools and the New heso
 lution of the Council.

CHAMPIONSHIPS The City Schools and the New Reso-
 tuition of the Council.
 Editor The Advertiser:
 May one Interested have space Tn your columns to resent, quite mildly ana po- ntely. the imputation contained Tn Alder man Gunter's "most carefully worded res- olution in regard to the city schools ?"
 sAs MT. Gunter is in the Cottage Hili School district, the certain of the schcols' referred to, seems to mean Cot tage Hill school district Now If this be true. his resolution can have but one meaning, namely. that the children Of that district are of such character as 70 render them unfit to be under the man. agement of ladies.
 It appears, has not troubled about con- cutting official records, will investigate the matter just little, he will probably pc somewhat surprised to learn that no school Tn the city can show better rec ord than the Cottage Hill school can show for the past ten yeas, in the matter of the polfteness, obedience and teachable- ness Of It's children. Now. strange to re- late, during all that period the school has been under the-management of Q woman; If the Alderman from Ward No. will also inform himself as to the children of this same school who have afterward at- tended other schools, 1t may astonish him 10 ma that these pupils, taught by these oohiS ,WoAfkcH tedCneTS, nave tdheH Tdnk over thoses previously taught by men.
 True discipline is no longer a thing of brawn and muscle. and those who still fondly cherish this antediluvian illusion should be allow ed ample opportunity for experimenting with their favorite theory, but not at the expense of the other tax payers of this city.
 Surely Alderman Gunter in his haste to introduce his carefully worded' reso- lution, overlooked the fact that the sal- ary of male principal of the Montgom- cry schools Is S1, 200 per year, while the salaries of the women who are princi- pals range from $75 to $10o.
 Perhaps. the Alderman from Ward No. | will kindly introduce another carefully worded" resolution explaining to the tax payers of certain of the schools how to raise the money to pay men willing and competent to act as principals.
 Those interested await with anxiety this

snINa THE1r TO ALABAMA.

In The New York Post we tind a special from Kansas City relative to the West ern Land Boom" as the correspondent calls 1t. The writer says that the erase for lands in Kansas and Nebraska is as great as ever. and that the Union Pacific Railroad is selling thousands of acres to smaH farmers from the, older States at from s to s10 per acre. and pre- diets that the people who are focking to these semi-arid lands will some day have 6 hard struggle to make . irving.
 It might seem strange that 70 many farmers from the Eastern and Middle States go to the Northwest, if we cid rot know something of the efforts tast gre made to get them. Not snly gre there land and immigration agents<ccnstantly at work to procure rettlers and land buyers. but the East Is all the time food ed with literature in which the most glow ing representations are made of the ad- vantages of the West. Under such cir- cumstanees and Inducements 1t Is not surprising that home seekers % where they have reason to believe they will fare best.
 With the single exception of. wheat growing Alabama is a better location for the smail farmer than Kansas or Ne { sbraska is. Both the climate and the soil are favorable. and men can work | out doors all the year if necessary. Lands can yet be bought on reasonable terms, and in South Alabama there are many thousands of acres where the timber has practically all been cut of. : This land can hardly be excelled for vegetables. fruits and all of the grain crops except wheat, and recent experiments have shown that fair wheat crops can be grown.
 If all the advantages possessed by Ala ,bama were properly made known to home-seekers our State would get many thirty and self-sustaining farmers who now flock to the better advertised West. A proper exhibit at St. Louis. with agents and literature fairly setting forth the claims of our State would be a paying in- vestment in more ways than one. That is the way to attract immigrants and it ought to be done. If the State Is not able to bear the expense private interests can do it and will find that 1t will pay Alabama can offer better inducements than Kansas or Nebraska

An evidence of the uncertainty, or un- reliability of prediction claims and esti- mates is shown in the recent election in Chicago Only a few days before the election the manager of Stewards cam -paign estimated Republican plurality of 47,oO0 while Harrison's' manager claimed still larger plurality. The fact that Harrisons plurality was less than 6OOO shows how they were deceived on both aides, or how they were trying to deceive others.

 The preachers up East are calling each other names and saying you're anoth- er," because some of them claim to have talked with the spirit of Henry Ward Beecher. They could settle the contrO- versy quick enough as to whether it is really Beechsr talking, by asking some pointed questions on the great Beecher- Hilton case. If his answers were fit for publication 1t would prove the spirit fake.

A Great Pity.
Clayton Record


 In his speech at Chicago, in discussing the relations of this country with other nations. MT. Roosevelt said: We do not intend to assume any position which can give just offense to our neighbors." It Is a great pity that he is not equally as careful of the feelings of his own people of the South, and does not adopt a sirni- lar policy concerning them.

SILK Dresses From Wood Pulp.
A report from the consul at Stettin
seems TO indicate that wooden dresses
and stockings and other articles may
soon become a feature of the feminine
attire, for the consul writes that "A
British firm is now erecting at SydoW-
sau. near stettin. q factory for the pro-
duction of artificial silk from wood
pulp by a new process. The pulp is
treated with chemicals and pressed by
hydraulic power through minute tubes
into a further chemical bath, after
which the finished produce is spun. 1t
can be woven into any desired fabric,
and the result is said TO be equal to

Announcement of the close of the
negotiations was made the other night
by Captain W. S. O'Donnell who
fought under General Joubert in the
war in Africa and who has just re-
turned from old Mexico in company
with General G. D. Joubert, nephew
Of the noted Boer fighter.

GUFFEY IN A NEW OIL FIELD
He and His Partner Lease I2O, 900 Acres
In Indian Territory.

Pittsburg, March 29.-Gufey & Galley,
the Pittsburg oil producers, who startled
the world by their lucky discovery of the
Beaumont oil field, have just leased 12O,
900 acres oil-producing territory in the
Usage Nation, Indian Territory, and will
begin at once extensive operations in what
promises to become a sensational field.
Good wells have alrerdy been discovered
by others, but the Pittsburg firm will
develop its immense tract with "a large
number of wells.
John II Galley made the lease for him
self and Colonel James M. Gufey, his
partner, with the Indian Territory Illumi-
mating Oil Company, corporation owned
by New York and Boston capitalists. This
company leased the entire Usage Nation
in 1895 for long period and the Pitts
burg firm subleases from them for oil and
gas.
The great tract is divided by several
railroads. OIL is found in large quantities
after drilling HOO feet and the quality of
tue oil is declared by Colonel Gufey to be
splendid. The cost OF drilling is compare
lively moderate.
Colonel Gufey said last night that there
is no question but that oil exists in large
quantities, from character of the wells
drilled, and he declared that the opera
tions in the new field. would be very large.
He would not say when drilling would be
commenced.
Colonel Gufey is reputed to be the lar
gest individual coal, oil and gas land
owner in the world. His discovery and
development of the Beaumont field result
ted in his securing immense tracts OF pro-
ducing land there and in Louisiana and
his new possession adds enormously to bis
holdings.

SEMl.CENTENlAL NOV EMENT
For the Improvement of Roanoke College
Buildings.

Some months ago a Seml-Centenlal
Movement for the benefit of Roanoke
College was begun, the object being for
enlarging, connecting and improving the
three old buildings of the college instead
of erecting separate science building "A
plan has been adopted for the contem-
nlated improvements, and DIR. julius ID.
Dreher, chairman of the central commit
tee in charge of the movement, has been
sending out to the friends of the College
q general statement, with cuts, diagrams,
ect., and telling how the subscriptions are
progressing. From this statement we
learn that five of the old students have,
each, subscribed $1,000 and two have,
each. subscribed $500 4 number of other
subscriptions for good sums have been
made, and more than one-third of the
S25. 900, which is the estimated cost OF the
improvements, has been secured.
We are glad to note that the movement
is meeting with such success. Roanoke
College has been one of the most useful
educational institutions of Virginis, and it
is revered by all who haye ever been
identified with it as students or otherwise.
There can be little doubt but that its
friends will rally promptly to its call and
that the buildings needed will soon be
erected.
