AIabama's MlIitia at Huntsville.

Attorney Cooper's attack upon the precautionary steps taken by the state authorities to prevent further mob ac tion in Huntsville, was properly re buked by Judge Speake and by Solic itor Pettus A lawyer is free to de fend client in his own way provided he respects the law, and the machin- cry of law Judge Speake rightly characterized Lawyer Cooper's speech as incendiary.
 The object of maintaining a state militia is to have strength by which government can maintain itself against attack-by which it can enforce the provisions of law in all cases. Cap. tain Lucian Brown and his troops are in Huntsville to uphold Judge Speake and his court in the proper enforce ment of the law They will do their duty, and while they stay in Hunts. vile the supremacy of the law will be maintained, and the good name of the state preserved. Alabama will, while their guns remain in close posi- ton, be governed, not by mobs, but by her constitution and laws. An archy will take a vacation. Governor Cunningham acted wisely and thought fully when he ordered Captain Brown to Huntsville, and he should not has tily withdraw him. He need not heed the attorney of one of the men charged with murder and arson. He should first of all stand up to his sworn duty as the chief executive of the state. and that is exactly what he is doing at Huntsville. He can be trusted to defend the honor and fair name of the state entrusted to his control.

Fast Trains in Alabama.

There are several fast trains run in Alabama" said a railroad man, "and it is a difficult matter to decide which makes the best time. The Louisville and Nash vile vestibuled limited from New Cr- leans to Birmingham via Mobile and Montgomery, is generally conceded to be flyer. while the Pan-American of the Alabama Great Southern is no slow poke by any means. When behind time through trains from Birmingham to Atlanta over the Southern whip around the mountains at such rate that passengers sometimes wonder where they are going to. while the Western of Alabama runs some tast trains to Atlanta. Then the Mobile and Ohio limited should not be overlooked.
 Taken altogether, Alabama has a highly creditable train service, especially On the through flyers, but I am satisfied that much better time would be made if some Of the lines did not traverse the most rugged parts of the state.'

The smithfield School.

read with great interest and much pleasure the special article on Dr. Joseph K. smith, which recently appared in the Age-Herald," remarked a friend or the venerable citizen of Jefferson, but the article did not tell it all
 Dr. Smith is great friend to pubic and private schools. When 1t was urged that the suburbs of Birmingham needed public school facilities four years ago ne built at his own expense school house in Smithfeld, modern and mp to date, and ever since has paid about slOOO per annum for it's support out of his individual purse.
 An attendance upon the commence ment exercises of the Smthfield school has removed from my mind all objec- tions to the public school system which long entertained. Little dirty-faced street and road Arabs have been trans formed by. that school into cleanly, moo ern, bright and intelligent children, and Dr. Smith is fully entitled to credit there for"

list down to s2,0O0 would simply mean that the Southern league is to lose It's standing in base ball circles, and II further means that local interest in the league cities would get a setback from which it would not soon recover. A high limit may not be advisable, and the better way seems to be to throw the brides off, letting each team consider all circumstances and known facts, conforming thereto as to each may seem best. This would lead to friendly striving in the league, and no team will bankrupt itself. AS a rule the team that secures the besY players will be the team that wEl make the most money.

Beginning of the school Year

This week an army of boys and girls will get ready and march away to the public scnools-an army fully seven thousand strong-an army full of promise of good citizenship both to the city and the state. The boys and girls who enter our excellent public schools, staying in them as long as they can, will come out well equipped for the duties of life. They will be- come good citizens, for girls become citizens as well as boys
 Let us hope no child will be turned away from our public schools this week because c lack of public school facilities Only one-half of the children in this city attend school, and this half s,-ould De accommodated. The other half cAnnot be gathered in until our schoo' system attains to the level of compulsory attendance. This will inYolFe more school houses, and this is what we must reach if we would drive ignorance out altogether.
 It is estimated that the per capita allowance of the state for school pur. poses will be nearly two dollars this year. as against $1.31 last year. The gain is in part due to the elimination of stuffed school enumerations. The count may not be perfect this year but it is freer from frauds than it has been of late.
 In this county, too, the children will have the benefit of a special school tax, and between additional state aid and the new county tax our schools will have money enough to keep them in good condition. The entire school system of the state is looking up and if an intelligent and thoughtful legis lature be chosen in 1906, our schools will be put on a good basis; better school houses will appear in every county, and local taxation will be add ed to the list of powers possessed by the several school districts.

A GOOD GRAND JURY.

From the Memphis Scimitar.
 There are twelve good men and true at Huntsville, Ala, who ought to have a proportionate number of tablets In the Hall of Fame They compose the special grand jury now sitting at that place and inquiring into the recent lynching of the negro, Horace Naples.
 When they had been sworn to do their duty and true presentments make' they did not feel at liberty to go into the kalsominng business. They did not make the mistake that Is growing all too com mon among inquistorial bodies appointed by virtue of our laws. They did not con- slider their paths as the equivalent of a license to whitewash. r
 What they did do was we'll and faith fully done.
 After short session they came into court and returned ten true bills against men suspected of taking part in the lynching. The indicted men were their neighbors, perhaps their friends. But cold facts and solemn oath rightfully outweighed sentiment and friendship.
 The members of this grand jury did more. After they had returned the ten indictments they asked the court for fur ther instructions. They wanted to know how to go about it in case they should decide that the sheriff of the county and the mayor of Huntsville should be re- moved from office for not taking the proper steps to. protect a prisoner whose life was threatened by a lawless mob.
 They asked for the a, b, c's of im- peachment proceedings.
 Huntsville has been in a very bad way. It has received Q lot of unfavorable com ment It now has chance to prove that the majority sentiment of the city and county is in favor of law and order. There are twelve men who are on the right side of the question. There must he many more. or there would not be the twelve on the grand jury.

Sian Is Puzzlina.

Have you noticed the wording of the huge republican sign which Is stretched across Nineteenth street between First and Second avenues2' asked a lawyer. 'The banner was put up on the occasion of the recent meeting of the republican state executive committee. Over the pie lures of Roosevelt and Fairbanks are the words, The regular republican noimnees.'
 Now the word regular is mystifying. Why not say the republican nominees and be done with 1t, since there were no other nominations made by any branch of the republican party, so far as know. The word is superfuous, to say the least "

Slau in Demand.

The Louisiana authorities have de. cided, says a recent telegram to use slag in the repair and construction of levees near New Orleans at any rate and probably wherever rail facilities exist. All that is needed is material that will fill gaps and erosions; and slag is certainly better than the light sandy soil they have heretofore used
 But it will be used simply because il can be loaded by steam shovels and transported to the port at lower price than any other material. Ship ments are to be begun about this month and maintained in strong vol ume afterwards. This means that our cumbersome, disfiguring slag piles are destined to~be removed. The slag for use on the Louisiana levees is to be taken from the historic pile created by Alice furnace, and We may reasonably expect to see that disfiguring noun tain disappear in time altogether, un- less iron should go up enough SC that Alice furnace could again become a producer At present it is considered a furnace on the retired list.

Alabama Snindles.

Secretary Hester says there are 824,192 spindles in Alabama, as against 765, TAI one year ago. The gain of year has been nearly 60,000 spindles. Georgia and both of the Carolinas did better, but Alabama is doing pretty well as the fourth in rank.
 Tennessee and Texas are far below us in rank, but the percentage of gain in either far outruns the percentage in this state. Tennessee had last year 1660OO spindles, and she now has 253,0OO Texas had one year ago but 57,00O; she now has 102,OO0. Eff this pace be maintained both Tennessee and Texas will crowd Alabama out of fourth place, for our gain last year was but eight per cent.
 Alabama has l7,495 looms, holding fourth place in the sodth, as she does in the matter of spiEdles. South Car olina has. however, lover So,OOO looms, and over s,oOOooo spindles. Before we attain to soutR carolina's pre-emi- hence in the gouth, every county in this state ml1 st wake up and do its part At prekent only one half of oul counties po9sess even a single mill ,a. ana counties in n, South . Car Car big oRes at that.
 All/told, there are 762 cotton mills in tHe south, truly creditable mum beE. We have twenty two more net tHan we had one year ago. The pace /of mill-building has slackened, but the ambition cad desire for more mills has not died out. Every mill built in the south helps every other mill in the south, because it makes still stronger and plainer the fact that the mills among the cotton fields possess ad- vantages that mills located elsewhere do not and cannot command.
 Here in Alabama we should do bet ter than we did last year. A gain of s per cent is not enough. A gain of 20 per cent year is needed, and it is easily within our reach to add this year splndles enough to carry our to- tai number to round million. To do this we would have to build about twenty new mills.

Next Seasons RalInlav.

The present season is nearly ended, and discussion of the plans for next season increases daily. Manager Fisher of Nashville favors a low salary limit. He says the Southern league cannot stand salary limit of $3,OO0 a month. Apparently he wants a limit of s2000, or thereabouts. He seems to have liking for players gathered from the sand or brush leagues who are accustomed to low salaries.
 From MT Fishers point of view this may seem to be good policy, but it is not. The patrons of the Southern league have become accustomed to a reasonably fast article of ball. They are accustomed to fielders who do not tumble balls that come their way, to pitchers that have speed as we'll as control, to batters that no pitcher can wholly overcome. If now the South ern league goes back to the Cotton States" or South Atlantic" level, dis satisfaction will certainly follow, and the attendance at the games will be- come less.
 The way to make money in the Southern league is to have a first di- vision team. All teams cannot secure places in the first division, but all can ! try to get in that division, and that is what makes good sport, and good sport means crowded grandstands and Teachers.
 Much can be said on both sides or Manager Fishers proposition, but 1t is probably best to leave the teams free to manage their own affairs Each could then judge for itself what is best. Each could say what would lead to the most interest in the game, and therefore to the largest results at the box office. {. <, Manager Fishers plan would at once partially paralyze tht national game in the south. To cut the salary

Goinq to the Fair.

Large numbers of people are hastening to the fair at St. Louis from all parts of the country and this state is being well represented" said a citizen. T notice every day now that the papers are filled with personal notes telling the depart ure of travellers to the big show. The attendance at St Louis promises to break the record during the months of October and November. It is now just a little over two months until the fair will close and those who have not yet paid it visit should do so by all means. since 1t is as- suredly the best affair of the kind ever attempted"

1INED BRACE TALKS ABOUT LOCAL AFFAIRS AND COMMENTS ON NATIONAL POLITICS

T HERE is no use in talking any lO more about the strike. in this
 column of opinion and gossip. because the miners leaders say they are going to fight it out until they get what they want or until very sultry place of fire and birthstone and other tabasco substances freezes over; and because the operators say they are getting out all the coal they need now, and getting all the miners they want to dig 1t, and they claim others are ready to blast and dig and load cars regardless of unions or leaders or anything else if they are paid for their work.
 So if everybody is satisfied. though some say bad things about morning pa- pers, whats the use in talking about 1t?
 feel very much like the good natured Irishman, Pat by name, who in passing Mrs Mullaneys house and seeing the good lady vigorously laboring over the wash tub remarked voeiferously, "Good morning, Mrs Mullaney. Glad to see you looking so fine this morning, Mrs. Null laney," and as he observed a frown and a curtsy of apparent disbelief and con tempt on her part at his good natured remark, added, without change oi countenauce and nothing more than a vigorous puff at his pipe, mot that give a damn, Mrs. Mullaney. but just to keep up the conversation" and Pat passed on puffng merrlly rings of smoke from the good old briar root pipe. And SC we all of this good old community of Birmingham pass on. The glow of the furnace illumines the night at intervals when 1t is fed. Somebody seems to b' feeding it. The fellows who are fight ing over how much shall be paid to th' this man shall work in the harness o the union or the harness of scale O wages, or any other sort of harness, or b. his own man or somebody elses man now seek to throw facetious darts a the newspaper man who would brini about settlement for the good of tn community and every man in it.
 Not being satisfied with an honest opln ion of one who believes in justice to al men, I would say fight your fight ou | among yourselves in the privacy of you own surroundings. in your own bailiwick
