REGENERATION.

Since tho adoption of the present Con- stitution and until the enactment of the new election law. the only voters in Ala bama were those who had registered un- der the temporary plan. That ceased to operate on the first of last January. but the means are provided in the new law. which will soon be effective There were about 10000 who registered under the temporary plan and by this registration registered 1sS.0oo were white and the oth- CTS colored. There are at least 240o00 white men in Alabama of the voting age. so that some 6O0Oo are yet to be regis- tered as voters.
 Under the temporary plan Peter Cren- shaw. a negro politician of some noto- riety. applied for registration under the new Constitution and the temporary plan. in Limestone County. The Board of Reg istrars refused to register him on the ground that he had no legal evidence to show his honorable discharge from the army.
 Subsequently he sent to Washington.
 
 there. and made application to the, Board q second time.
 The Board again refused to register him and he appealed to the Circuit Court. On the trial of the cause the jury was com posed of twelve white men. Crenshaw testified as to his applications before the Board and offered his discharge in evi- dence.
 The State raised the question that his appeal was not made within thirty days from the date of his first application to the Board and that his oath in writing made on tho date of his second app'ica- tion was not administered by the Board of Registrars or any member thereof. as provided by the Constitution. Some oth- CT points were also raised. The evidence of the State as to the time and manner Of Crenshaw's application for registration was substantially tha same AS that of the petitioner.
 The presiding Judge. Hon. O. Kyle. charged the jury only ms to the aualifica- ton for registration under the section or clause under which application was made and the case went to the jury
 The fury found for the petitioner. de- c,ar,nr in their verdict that he was enti- tied to registration.
 The State had reserved various excep- tions to tho rulings of the court ana 10 the evidence and. by it's attorneys. took an appeal. The cause is now pending be- fore the Supreme Court of tho State.
 The point 10 which we wish to direct inc attention of some of our Northern critics Is the fact that this case is the only one of the kind that ever went be- fo-o a jury In this State and that the r,hst of registration was accorded by jury composed entirely of white men.

Prohibition That Prohibits at 1astp

Boston Evening Transcript.
 The news which comes from Skowhs gan. that Henry Washburn, one of the best known and msot popular hotel men in tho State of Maine. has been sentenc- ed to imprisonment for four months in addition to a fine of $2o0 and cots is of more than passing importance. It Is likely to have a widespread influence all over the State of Maine, and 1t may even prove to he the entering wedge which Is eventually to split the prohibitory law to the very centre. So long as parties who sold alcoholic liquors were punished simply by fine which was imposed in such a way as to make 1t tantamount to license fee, these parties were content with the prohihitory law. It was better for them. no doubt. from a commercial point of view. than local option would be. But to be locked up In the common Jail for four months is quite another matter. It brings social disgrace upon the con victed dealer and 1t deprives him of his liberty. One of two things is bound to follow Either fear of imprisonment will put a stop to the illegal sale of liquor or the heroic enforcement of the law will bring about it's repeal. There is no reason to suppose that the former alternative will happen; hence there would appear to be no escape from the latter.

But the cotton manu- fiaeturi1g industry is but one of ,I,s many Y now very active. Lumber. truck, fruit, mining of ore and coal. iron-making. rice growing and cotton soed oil production. these are other interests that have had recently great development.

 In the South. In 1880 that section had but 20.50O miles. whereas, In 1900 there were over 54,0OO miles, representing a Sl, 800 o0O. This growth of mileage has had its sequel in a treemdnous growth of business. Products formerly worthless for want of access to the worlds markets now quicken the currents of trade. TShis is seen in the traffic statistics of import ant Southern railways. Taking the Lou isville and Nashville and the Southern Railway as thoroughly representative, including in their resources all the staple commodities of the Southern territory" 1t is noted that the Louisville and Nashville since 1890 has increased Its mileage from 1865 miles to 3,600 and Its yearly gross earnings from $1S,S46.0 600 tv $35, ll5.0o0 an in mileage and SS per cent in gross earn ings. Since its incorporation, in 1894 the Southern Railway has increased its mile- age from 4.l39 miles to 6,750 miles and It's gross earnings from $l6,643, 900 to $4l,- 1000, an increase of 64 per cent in mile age and l55 per cent in gross earnings. As respects earnings per mile the increase with the former road has been 6 per cont with the latter 51 per cent The other railways 1f the South have had like de- velopment, their prosperity being due largely to the intelligent interest taken by their managers in the o~catis;n of usM industries along their lines, A notice- able contribution to the present excellent economic situation in the South is to be seen in the improvement of terminal fa- cilities, with view to a large exportation of Southern products from Southern ports Harbors are looked after. wharves are built and railroad tracks are run out to deep water. Much of the grain trade has thus been attractad away from Northern ports and efforts are on foot to deprlye the later of their export traffic. In other staple products.

Hogg and Bailey.

Washington Post.
 'The endeavor of ex-Governor Jim Hogg to get the Texas farmers to form a political party will hardly prove suc- ccssful. said MT. L. J. Holly of Sher- man, Texas, at the Riggs House.
 Our farmers, as a rue, are too pros- porous to bother with politics right now, and though they would cheer the big gov ehnor heartily because he talks to suit them. they are too busy with their crops to follow his advice. The farmers of Texas are Democrats, anyway, and can not be pulled away from the old party. Besides they have seen the futility of these farmer movements; they remember the fate of the Grange and likewise the Farmers Alliance ,and are sensible enough to steer clear of such organjza- tions in future.
 Governor HOgg Is still power with tho country voters, and if he takes it in his head to oppose Hon. Joe Bailey for tho Senatorship, as many think he will, it will be one of the biggest battles fin the history of Texas politics."

DOES IT SPEAK FOR UNION
 LABORp

The Bcssemer Journal, ostensibly speak, ing for organized labor" has this to say:
 Heretofore boycotts have been declared and unfair lists authorized by the cen- trai bodies of organized labor, hut there has been no law in any union making q strict recognition of such boycotts or 'nnfnir'' lists compulsory upon any mem Der. and the result has been that a firm hy being placed upon the unfair list did not suffer the loss of all union trade-not one-haf of the union trade-but now if this law which affects the rights of over loo ono people and was pa assed bv the re- unest of petition signed by ninety-four of this 10000. Is enforced or an attempt made to enforce 1t. then the unions will and instead of those who are openly boy cotted losing small per cent of union patronage. under the secret boycott that will be resorte1 to they will loose all union patronage. for those who' refuse to recngnize such 9 boycott will not carry union card. The boycott bill may prove tn be a God-send to the unions. We know it will if an enforcement of law is attempted.
 Here we have. so plainly expressed that all may understand. the threat or decia- ration that the labor unions of Alabama propose to defy and disregard the anti boycott law recently. enacted by the Leg iElature. It is a pledge for all union working men that they will secretly vio- late the law and a yelled threat that something worse will follow any attempt tn enforco it It indicates that Iabnring men will organize themselves into q sort Of Mafia association for tho purpose of mt only violating the law but for the purpose of punishing those who attempt tn enforce or even obey it.
 We arc not willing tn believe thAt the mechanics and other working men of Alabama are rcady io outlaw themselves nr that they will hand themselves to- e"ihcr for the purpose of secretly yiolat- Ing law which cannot injurc a single workman m Alabama who is ho1cst and who believes m justice The Journal may claim that it speaks for organized Iahor in Alabama. but We do not believe it fair ly represents those who belong to the unions. We have better opinion of them than to believe any such claims
 And We tell these union men that if they undertake to carry out the program outlined by The Journal it will mark tho beginning of the end of unionisut in Ala bama. That law is just and good law and Its provisions will be carried out. The first attempt to violate or evade it.. whether done secretly or openly. will re- suit in direct conflict between law and disorder and the former will triumph. The attempt to evade the law will fail of its ohiect and any continued disregard of it will result in laws and restrictions that may break up labor unions entirely. They will do well to reflect seridslsly before fol- lowing the advice of The Journal and others who counsel anarchy.
