Good Times Down in Pike.

That The Montgomery Advertiser
 may know what kind of a country
 Southeast Alabama is, and especially
 Pike. and what 1t has to back it's
 praise of this section, we will state
 that number of farmers in the vicin-
 ity of Brundidge will gather twenty bales of cotton to the blow. One man
 told us of one farm of thirty acres. under his charge from which nineteen
 bales had already been gathered and ginned and he felt confident that 1t would yield five or six more. The crop of one S00-acre plantation. within three miles of the city, we are told, will approximate three hundred bales
 and the owner raises his own supplies always. We overheard landlord say
 to another Git wasn't intended for pub
 lication) that tenant of fifty-acre
 farm on his place, started in last Jan
 uary, owing $50; that he had gathered enough to pay him out of debt and
 had $500 in cash ahead of everything with a considerable amount of his croT
 to gather. True, this has been an ex. ceptional year and prices have aver. aged nearly or quite 10 cents. but the corn and other food crops are not SC good nor as large in acreage as foI some seasons past. yet where proper attention has been given them. tho farmers will have few supplies to buy Take it one year with another the aV. craze production of this section will show from twelve to fifteen bales ot cotton to the blow, and a sutnciency o food supplies. We leave to the read

-~------------------- - Man Attacked by Wild Turkeys.

Tarboro (N. C.) Southerner.
 There are turkey stories as we'll as fish stories, if any one should ask you, and N. P. Bullock CDock) tells the fol- lowing. and vows that 1t is true. A few days ago he was not far from Doehead. near the old race track back of the Sessum field, when he saw ahead of him two wild turkey gobblers fight ing. Mir. Bullock stepped out into the bushes. and crept along till he was opposite the fighting fowls. So intent were they in their contest that he was not heard. With a stealthy step he advanced till he was almost upon them. and then he made a spring and caught the two by the neck, one in each hand. Then ensued a battle between man and birds. With wings and feet the latter fought, scratching Mir. Bullock g arms and tearing his clothing. With much difficulty one bird was carried to the ground, where it's head was crushed by the mans foot, while the other maintained it's desperate scratch ing with feet and striking with wing The first one disposed of, the other soon fell an easy victim. MT. Bullock says that he had no idea how strong a tur- key was before. The two turkeys were grown gobblers. with boards nearly three inches long.

LOCATING THE BLAME.

The Pittsburg Post. discussing a re- cent case where the employees of a rail road had worked twenty-two hours without rest, and who fell asleep and caused a terrible accident. and the charge of the judge. practically reliev- ing the company from all blame in the premises, says:
 This ruling will be accepted as com mon sense and good law. But the ques- tion remains, what Is the remedy for such conditions, Putting 1t up to the train crew is not the most satisfactory solution. There will be the natural tendency to hold on the job in the hope that nothing will happen. But t@should not be SO. Railroads should not ask. should not permit, their employees to work under conditions which Jeopardize the lives of passengers. The increasing frequency of wrecks caused by worn- out employees falling asleep or making mistakes demands fthat railroad man . agement should do something to pro- vide a remedy. Fhe safety of the trav- cling public makes 1t imperative.
 This may be good law" but If 1t Is, 1t should not be. When an engineer doubles his work. in order to keep from losing the job which may be his only means of supporting his family, he does so in many instances because those higher in authority demand 1t Of him. We do not charge that this is always the case, but we are assured that it fre- quently happens that an employe who has done a full days work is told that he must go on for another ten or twelve hours without rest or give up his lob. In a case of that kind. where an em- ploye has been virtually forced to go without rest or sleep beyond the linn its of physical endurance. if a wreck or other accident results. we deny that the corporation which forced him to do | it Is blameless.
 We agree with The Post that the railway should do something to pro- vide a remedy" and that something should be duo regard for the physical needs of its employees. It Is trihins with the lives of passengers to entrust their safety to overworked employees, and we refuse to admit that the latter should bear all the blame, or suffer all the penalty. The Kansas City Journal, discussing another late collision cause d by the sleepiness of. the employees, says the coroners jury put all the blame on them, although admitting that they were worked almost beyond the limit but adds this sensible and just com | ment:
 There is an alarming frequency oi l railroad wrecks where the excuse is given that train men were overworked and sleepy. Human frailty must be | reckoned with. and so long as railroads are obliged to put vital dependence in | employees, the latter should not be re. l duired to exceed the bounds of physical | endurance. The tremendous strain oi the responsibility and vigilance upor 1 train men. if too long protracted, pro | duces weakness aud incapacity. n there are railroads which do not give their employees sufficient opportunlts

How Stephens Would Have Eaten
 Them.

Few men possessed more tact and wit when on the hustings that did Alexander H. stephens of Georgia, says The Nashville Banner. Though small in size, he had wonderfully prolific brain and was regarded as an exeep- tionally brilliant orator. A Georgian tells this story:
 MT. Stephens was slated for joint debate with Rance Wright during a Presidential campaign. Wright, by way of a tale. said that Stephens had said he could eat himself (Wright) for breakfast. Ben Hill for dinner and Bob Toombs for supper.
 INT. stephens possessed very little storage room in his stomach, and when 1t came to his turn to reply he said that he denied that he had made any such assertion. If I had contemplated any such feast said Mir. Stephens. T certainly would have changed the or- der. I would have taken Ben Hill for my breakfast. Bob Toombs for dinner and my friend Rance Wright for SUD- per. My mother taught me from early infancy to eat a light supper, and so would have tipped of with Wright The answer completely snutfed out the good impression Colonel Wright had made"

MARKET VERY ACTIVE
NEW HIGH RECORDS FOR YEAR IN l. MANY STOCKS.
In the Last Hour, However, the Entire List Gives way Under Heavy
 Selling of Securities.

New York, Got. 17.--After scoring new high records for the year in many issues, the entire stock market gave way in the last hour today under ef- forts to press stock for sale. Recess sions of one and two points from top prices occurred in a considerable num- Der of issues. Total sales for the day were by far the largest of the year. being 1,974,200 shares.
 Stocks opened excitedly with sim. ultaneous sales of from 5000 to 13,00o shares in the first few seconds. ths largest amount being in Southern Pa- cihc of which "a string" seven inches long came out on the tape at 6s 1-S against 62 7-s Saturdays closing fig- ure. A single lot of 10000 shares of United States Steel preferred came out at S1 7-s. United States Steel com mon started with 5000 at 21 1.2 to 21 a-4, against 21 s-s Saturday. There were other wide open sales and in gen. eral first transactions were confined mainly to large lots. Trading contin- ued on an enormous scale during the first half hour with general recessions of half point or so under profit taking sales.
 The feature of the trading was the great interest shown by out of town people. The wires were kept busy re- ceiving their orders. The advance in prices continued until nearly noon when 1t was seen that the Pacifcs, Grangers and some of the specialties were showing the effects of profit talk ing. Then selling of Union Pacif1cs in considerable volume caused liquidation throughout the list and many of the advances were lost. The decline was checked by heavy purchases of United States Steel preferred and later of Pennsylvania and Erie. but the selling
 was renewed in the last hour. The lowest prices of the day came near the close when the movement to take prof its was general. The market closed
 active and irregular.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER IS, 1oo4.
A MACHINE STATE.

If there is another State in the Amer ican Union where the people have as little voice in the affairs of govern ment as they do in New Hampshire. we have not heard of it. Tho Man chester Union publishes a taoulated statement of the officials who are elected directly by the people. and those otherwise se- Iected, and the result is surprising, to say the least of it.
 From this statement it $ seen that the people by direct vote elect a Gov ernor and five Councillors, whose ag- gregate salary amounts to s6,4G2 a year. and the Legislature, wnish is elected by the people, elects n State Treasurer and a Secretary of State. With these exceptions. all officials and employees of the State, civil, military, Judicial educational and all others who draw salaries or perform my services for tho State are either appointed by the Governor alone or are chosen by himself and his Councillors. They have absolute control of the entire State Government. and The Union says:
 The people of New Hampshire have never yielded ground to the advance of au armed foe, but the right to gov ern themselves has been surrendered to the gradual, insidious, relentless grasp Of a political machine. Since 1874, for thirty years, the control of State affairs has been In the hands of one political party-under the dofnina- tion of the machine which has controll- ed that party.
 As would naturally be supposed, New Hampshire Is controlled and thoroughly dominated by the Republicans. No such conditions could exist under a Democratic government, nor do we see what chance the people have to right themselves. As long as the Republi- cans have full control. they will per- petuate their power. and the people of the State have no recourse. It Is sim gular. however, in this day of supposed popular government that there should be one State in which the people have so little to do with the management of their own affairs. It does seem that even those who vote the Republican ticket would become disgusted with such conditions and would join the Democrats in bringing about change

shows What t0 Do in Time of
 Trouble.
 For many years, Captain willnef, says The Times of Gloucester, Mass. was one of the best known seanien in the >Glou- cester Fleet. The sea and its dangers had no terror for him, but the catar- rhal. troubles with which he suffered for fifteen years made him dread the nights at sea, for he had to walk the cabin floor, being unable to lie down and sleep on account of the constant catarrhal dropping.
 Captain willnef went to two differ ent hospitals for treatment, but could get no lasting benefit He constantly raised yellow and green phlegm and his trouble became so unbearable ard nauseating that he was ashamed to go out in company. When despairing of ever getting relief. his wife purchased a HyomeI outfit for him, and trying 1t before going to bed, he enjoyed the first whole nights sleep for ten years Captain Willnef says: T have used less than two bottles of Hyomei and have been cured by the remedy My friends ask me what is responsible for my improvement, and I tell them Hyo- mel, which has given me full and com plete recovery"
 Captain wlllnefs experience shows our readers what to do in time of ca tarrhal trouble--use Hyomei. This re. markable treatment kills the germs of catarrh and makes lasting and perma- nert cures. E. c. Fowler sells Hyomei under his personal gusrantee to re- fund the money if it does not give quick raliAf pct 1S.21-21s

 Congressman Crumpacker's mouth blew open sgain the other day, and his tongue got busy with southern affairs. As was natural and to be expected. the burden of his complaint is the disfran- chisetnent of the negroes of the south. He declares that if Congress doesn't take up this matter and regulate suf- fraxe in the South, "there Is possibility of great danger to the liberties of the people not only in the South. but in the North as well.'' We think most fair-minded men will agree that the greatest danger to the people anywhere lies In the free and unlimited use of the English language by snoliygosters of the Crumpacker sort. An embargo on him and all his kind would be boon to the country. second only to the election of . Demo- cratic President. They are not only an unmitigated nuisance, but continual disturbance, and do more to keep up sectionslism than all other causes com bined. Tn furtherance of his arguments about danger to the people. Crumpack- CT wants us to take Pennsylvania as an example, and to suppose that the coal trust and the railroad men and tho Standard Oil people and the other infiu- ences which are supposed to control legislation there should determine to put check upon the power of the ia- boring men. It is quite within the range of possibility. even if it is not probable, that these great financial ele' nents. weary of strikes and lockouts. might pass an amendment to the State Constitution or pass legislation which would be constitutional restricting the right of suffrage to persons owning s1o,ooo in property"
 Well, if this wind packer wants us to take Pennsylvania as horrid ex- ample, we have no objection. Any thing in tho way of political and offi- c:al corruption Is not only possible but altogether probable in that State Just what the one million, more Or less, of voters are expected to be doing while the trusts and things are disfrarichis'ng them, we do not Know, but suppose tney are expected to lie down and be walked ever. That would be no unusual expe- rience for Pennsylvania, however.
 As would naturally be expected. that pariah in politics, The Chicago Chron- icle, is with Crumpacker and affects to think he Is trying to do great good. l It declares that the charge that he and those who hold with him have desire to bring about or to encourage social equality Is false. and says:
 It is made for the purpose of obscur- l ing the real question and at the same l time offering an excuse for their high- l handed behavior in nullifying the con- stitution and restoring slavery in fact | If not in name.
 That is about what could be looked for from a paper like The Chronicle, end we suppose no one Is surprised. It and Crumpacker make a good team.

A TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.
The Unnecessary and Inaccurate Critl

The Unnecessary and Inaccurate CTtti-
 cisms on Judge Jenes.
 Editor The Advertiser:
 Isn't there quite tempest in teapot in some quarters about Judge Jones's recent charge to the grand jury at Huntsville? The question of States rights was not at all involved. The United States of the African descent. or any other race, for that matter, mas an immunity or right under the Con stitution of the United States, not to be by lawless violence at the hands of in- dividuals when it is directed against him because of his race, and intended. cn that account. to prevent the right courts. There is nothing new in this. Years ago, in the Grant Parish cases, Justice Bradley of the Supreme Court of the United St9tes, held the same Supreme Court Judge, In another case. Roth these decisions have since been quoted with approval by the Supreme Court of the United States as showing teenth Amendmant was intended to confer.
 The next proposition was that such an act done to deprive citizen of a race of the right to trial in the courts because of his race, was a violation of the statutes of the United States which makes it an offense against the United States for two or more people to con- spire to deprive a citizen of this com munity because of the race to which nc belongs.
 The charge then referred to the re- ports of court officers as to what was said and done by the mob, and told the jury if. under all the circumstances they were of opinion that Naples was hung to prevent his having a trial oe- cause he was a negro, when a white man under the same circumstances would not be so treated by a mob of white men. that the offense fell within the Federal Jurisdiction; otherwise, 1t was a mere murder under the laws of Alabama, and the Federal courts had nothing to do with it.. Where, in all this. Is there any attack on States rights? The war settled one thing at least, and that is, that the United States has the right by its own laws to protect any right or immunity which the Con . stitution gives to a citizen. There is surely nothing new in this. Every law yer knows 1t Is the settled law in this country. It is certainly no assault upon Alabama or her tofiicefs for the United States to punish people who run discharging duty which the Constitu- ton of the United States itself puts upon them. Every good man, woman and child in Alabama would like to see mob law stopped. It Is not a bad doc Urine in morals or constitutional law for Congress under the powers confer red on 1t by the Constitution of the United States to help the State do this.

The commI.uioner.s Estimate. :.

Editor The Advertiser:
 In your report of the estimate of tho 1904 cotton crop, made by the Southern States Association of Commissioners of Agriculture at their recent Baton Rouge meeting, you state the Commissioners underestimated the 1903 crop by about half million bales' The 1903 esti- mate made by the Commissioners on October in the city of Montgomery was 10,4T1 900 bales; the census gin re- port made the total crop 9,S51.129; He's ter's report. which includes the ely crop. makes the total crop 1O.O11, Oc6 bales. By these figures you will ob- serve that the Commissioners of Agri culture actually over-estimated the crop by nearly a half million bales They received the same criticism a, that time as they are now receiving, that they had placed the crop at a ri dlculousiy low figure
 If there can be any confidence in hu. man judgment, the Commissioners have placed fair estimate on the 1904 crop Every possible source of Information was drawn upon, and not one figure made that was not substantiated bS the leading farmers, factors and manu. lecturers of the various cotton growing states.
