New Yards at Boyies.

The Boyles's yards and round house. Louisville and Nashville Railroad. now in the city proper and west of Eighteenth Street, are nearing comple- tion. The laying of rail has been un- der way for some time and in a few weeks now 1t is expected that the yards will be used to certain extent. The round house will accommodate considerably more engines than the small round house. in the shop yards the. new building being constructed with the expectation that the division would continue to grow and necessa- rily bring more engines to this section:
 The coal chute at Boyles is up and other work is being done looking to a formal transfer of operations in a few weeks now. The different contractors are confident that they are going to be on time. The new yards and round house already present an interesting appearance. The yards have been laid off that not only the main line of the be handled conveniently, but also the mineral branches. Just as soon as the Altoona Attalla branch of the North Alabama and Mineral Railroads are completed, there will be a through and direct line operated between Bessemer, Ensley and Gadsden. The fact that the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron Company will ship great quanti- ties of coal. coke and ore from off the Birmingham Mineral south of Bessemer to Gadsden, where they have two large furnaces. and the Alabama Steel and Wire Company will ship coal from Bes- semer to Gadsden and Alabama City and bring steel and pig iron from Gadsden and Alabama City to Ensley for the steel rod, wire and nail mills means that much traffic will be pushed through Boyles and via North Bir- mingham.
 This will relieve all of the trains and engines from the mineral branches of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad coming into the city, except such few as are needed in and around the indus tries located in the heart or on the immediate suburbs of the city.
 In short, as soon as the yards at Boyles are completed. 1t is figured that there will be but little work done in the city in the way of handling trains, except the cars which must come to the dealers and shippers in the city. It is not absolutely necessary to have many of the freight trains stor in the city at all. so that only two trains, one in each direction, will be necessary for the freight service.

Latimer and BrOwnlOw.

There is the liveliest sort oi
rivalry among several statesmen
says the Washington Post, to be
known as the father of the good
roads movement in Congress.
Undisputed possession of the
title would mean thousands OF
votes and uninterrupted tenure
for some men, just as the distinc-
ton of fathering the irrigation
law has been a high feather in
the cap of more than one West
ern Congressman.
Senator Latimer of South Caro-
lima has been seeking to ''get in
on the ground floor" of the move
ment. 1t makes no difference
that Federal legislation for good
roads, accompanied with a fat
appropriation, is years off. The
thing is immensely popular in
South Carolina. His friends in
the Palmetto State are already
christening him the Daddy of
Good Roads.
But if Mr.. Latimer should
claim that title in some places,
outside of his own State, there
would be blood on the moon.
Over in the House there is a
Tennesseean of stock build and
powerful muscles, Mr. w. Z.
Brownlow, who claims the good
roads movement as his child. Mr..
BroWnlOw has been willing a
long time to fight and die for
good roads. In more than one
campaign throughout the mount.
aims of his region, Mr.. BrOwnlOw's
powerful voice has been heard in
behalf of the cause. He does not
propose to surrender his laurels.

NEVER so MUCH REAL MONEY.

As the treasury officials have the habit of announcing, on the first of every month that there is so much money in the treasury and so many dollars in circulation, people have general idea of financial conditions in the country. But it remained for the special currency committee of the American Bankers Association, appointed a year ago, at the head of which is Hon. Charles $. Fair child, secretary of the treasury under Presi- dent Cleveland, to make to the San Francis co meeting of the association a concise and complete report of the financial condition of the people of the United States Because this report is made by men who cannot have any conceivable reason for eXaggeratng or suppressing the truth, it is extremely valu- able and also very destructive of the walls of the pessimist, says an exchange.
 ''There is more real money in the United States than any previous period in our his tory is the language of the committee. It continues:
 'Taking the country altogether there is no scare ity of money, including United States and national bank notes, to meet any legitimate demands of bus ness. Compared with September l, year ago the national banking circulation has increased S52, ,S27 7 55l'
 According to the committee, the general stock of money in the United States, Sep tember 1, 1903, was as follows: Sl 267 73 949 gold coin, including bullion in treasury
 555, S53, ,949 standard silver dollars
 l0l ,22S subsidiary silver
 17970,00O treasury notes of 1890.
 3466Sl. .0l6 United States notes
 41S5S7,975 national bank notes. Total, $2 7OS,-
 693,6 ,662.
 At the same time there was in circulation: 8 620375, l59 gold coin
 394 155,9l9 gold certificates
 72 959,0l2 standard silver dollars.
 45592 ,3S4 silver certificates

 Making circulation capita of $29 60, compared with s2S.55 September l, 1902.
 Comparing these figures with the condi- tion of the country when President McKin- ley took the oath of office March 4, 1897, we find that the total amount of money then in circulation was Sl ,5O6, ,63l O26, or per capita of S21 1O

"A TOOL OF TAMMANY."

A Pacific Coast newspaper has the fol- lowing to say concerning Col Geo. B. Me Clellan, elected mayor of New York city last November. It's strictures are strong, though interesting and it is but fair to state that the paper fathering the remarks is strong ring republican organ. Col Mcclellan can scarcely do worse in the administration of the affairs of New York city than did his 'fusion' predecessor, Seth Low. The arti- cle follows:
 "George B. Mcclellan, who will be mayor of the greatest city on this continent, by gift of Tammany Hall, is fair representa- tive of the worst and most dangerous ele- ment in that body, that element consisting of men personally clean, of good standing and fair abilities, who have deliberately aligned themselves with the powers of cor rupton for the sake of the political rewards which they will receive whenever it is to the interests of Tammany to put forward appar ently reputable candidates for office
 ''Mr. Mcclellan is man of distinguished ancestry, of fine education and of capacity to make his own way in the world, had he elected to do so. For the privilege of being supported in public office at public expense he has for many years accepted the role of apOlogist and defender of Tammany infam. ies. He has had his reward. in the past, in a seat in congress from d slum district of New York, placed at his disposal by the bosses of Tammany. He is now given the position of nominal head of the great city of New York, the real head of course, being Murphy, the Tammany boss, from whom he will receive his orders.
 ''The Tammany bosses of the Murphy type, nursed in the slums and educated in the saloons, whose environment has always been such as to render it impossible for them to grasp the faintest conception of civic virtue, have this excuse, that they know no better. They, at least, are men of force who have fought their way to the front and hold their positions by right of conquest. For men like Mcclellan, who know better, yet who permit themselves to be the mere tools of the Tammany bosses-who deliber ately join hands with the forces of corrup. tion, in order that they may be provided for with office-the very men who use them can have no sentiment save contempt"

AS TO EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISES.

An ordinance passed recently by the city council of Nome grants an exclusive fran chise to one Boyd for the construction and maintenance of telephone lines within the municipality.
 How the city council received the power to grant exclusive franchises, we do not know. Certainly no such power is conferred by the Alaska code, but the present city council is an extraordinary body, which arrogates to itself powers that Congress itself does not possess. And yet it has a legal adviser who is supposed to steer the council clear of legal shoals, sandbars and rocks
 The granting of an exclusive franchise of any kind, it ought to be known, even by the city council majority, is something not recognized in any ''civilzed' community, whose interests are represented by men of ordinary intelligence and modicum of honesty.
 Of course the franchise granted is not worth the paper it is written upon. The city council has again befooled itself. This franchise, if it was designed to pay any

forced to almost literally beg for money in order to complete its contracts with the war department for the building of three war ships
 The Republican press, as a rule, is talk ing strenuous steps to allay public fear, and therein, to us, is the strongest proof that there is something to be feared. Some of the more partisan papers are preparing for the coming financial storm by stating that the trusts" are preparing to close down their workshops and factories, in order to 'discredit Roosevelt and his reign of pros perity."
 Such action is far fetched, in our opinion. For the past seven or eight years there has been unexampled prosperity in this country, due not at all to any specific act or policy of government or party but to the great pro- ductiveness of the nation in every line of human industry and endeavor. Hand in hand with the prosperity of the people has cantered a period of imitation and over spec ulatiOn. Wall street is feeling it, and has been for some time past The reaction was inevitable as well as the consequences. In all human probability the reaction would have been felt long ere this but for the fact that the agricultural crops for the past few years have been abundant But the country will revive once more: and the same history will be repeated over and over again POli- tics has little to do with prosperity

JUST NAME A FEW.

With the exception of few-a very few the people of Nome are generally in favor of continuing the present city council in of flee until next November Those who form the minority have undoubtedly some political axe to grind. Nome News Jan. p.
 The publication in which the above ap- peared professes to be a newspaper, and yet knowing that the utterance was a deliberate attempt to mislead, it was sent forth in the vain hope that.it might influence something or somebody or other
 Our contemporary has degraded itself into cheap booster for any cheap interest, and has made itself laughing stock of the community.
 We challenge the statement and ask the News to publish the names of even a dozen bona tide citizens who will put themselves on record as favoring "the continuance of the present city council in power
 Who compose the minority of which the News speaks so glibly. ''The minority, :" says the foolish organ, "have undoubtedly some axe to grind The News certainly has the undisputed right to speak for the minority, and it truthfully says that the mi nority-a few, very few-have some DO litical axe to grind. The asinine position assumed by the Second street weathercock would be Imaginable were it not so silly.
 In the meantime, we would like to know who these people are who ''are generally in favor of continuing the present city coun- cil in office until next November :'' Who are they, we repeat

Word has gone forth that Marshal Rich ards and his supporters have subsidized another paper. They have long since sup ported the semi weekly contemporary, so it must be that they have secured the (weakly) joke. If bountiful supply of printers ink will maintain them in office they intend to have it.
 The above is from the Nome News, and it is herewith republished in order to give it some publicity. The deliberate falsehood contained in the reference to THE NUGGET needs no refutation, but it may be wondered that paper like the Booster, which draws subsidy of $15O month from the govern ment can be so utterly idiotic as to give utterance to such dry rot.

DIXIE FOREVER.

At the state confederate reunion in Mis- lmost caused riot, and was unanimously oted down. What change the words of "Dixe," The good old song we sang When leaden bullets marked the time. And silver bugles rang? The lines that find an echo
 In every Southern heart, The strains that melt our very souls Until the tear drops start: You might as we'll make over,
 In something strange and new, The prayer we lisped at mothers knee When fell the evening dew. The moth to dust and powder
 Has turned the coat of gray, But "Dixie" lives every lip,
 The Southern "Marseillaise' Away down south in Dixie.
 Calls up vision bright Of moonlight where the Suwanee flows And cotton fields by night; And rows of tall palmettos
 Against the star-it sky: And oh to live in Dixie-land,
 In Dixie-land to die. Beneath the starry ensi gn
 That high above our heads It's splendor to the morning breeze In fadelsss beauty spreads; The banner from whose glories
 The South no more shall sever, take my stand in Dixie-land
 For "Dixie's" words forever.

Coroner Flowers went to Wdge6eld
Thursday morning to hold an inquest
over the body of a negro child which
was found Wednesday in Beech Creek,
four miles from Wedge6eld, by negro
fisherman Mr.. Flowers was notified
by telephone Wednesday night Of
the finding of the child's
body, but no particulars were
given. No one at Wedge6elud knew
the name of the child, and so far as
was known no child was missing from
that neighborhood. The negro who
discovered the body stated that the
child appeared to be about four or FIVE
years old. and that it had been dead
for week or longer.
Coroner Flowers returned from
Wedgefeld Thursday night, where be
went to hold an Inquest over a
body found in Beech creek. The negro
fisherman who discovered the body re-
ported that it appeared to be child
about I've years old, but when it was
removed from the water under Mr..
Flowers direction it was found to be
the remains of a full grown woman.
Dr.. F. NJ. Dwight made a thorough
examination of the body and found no
marks Of violence. He stated chat he
could find nothing to indicate that
the woman had been killed, and then
thrown into the water, but owing to
the advanced stage Of decomposition
of the body it was impossible to iden-
tify, it positively. The jury concluded
that the body was that of Christian De-
Veaux, a half-witted negro woman who
was wandering about the Wedge6eld
neighborhood a few months ago She
had no family to take care of her and
wandered from place to place. About
two or three months ago she dis
appeared from the neighborhood and
it was subsequently reported that she
had gone to Columbia and had been
placed in tbe Poor House. This was
about all the information Coroner
Flowers could obtain and the jury
rendered verdict that the body was
supposed to be that of Christian De-
Veaux and that she came to her death
by accidental drowning.
