DIAMONDS The Ideal Investment for Young
 lien.

The young man in a salaried position or who is just start ing in business, can invest only a limited portion of his income.
 If he puts his money in a savings bank 1t Is where he can too readily draw upon 1t when he thinks he needs money; besides 1t at best earns but per cent. If the same money is invested in diamonds 1t cannot be so readily drawn on and expended. The result Is that at the end of the year all the money invested is saved and in that time has increased 10 per cent. by the natural and regular rise in diamond values. He has had the pleasure, also, of wearing the stone all the time and it probably indirectly con- tributed to his increased pros- perity and advancement. We sell diamonds for cash or on credit. at lowest prices in the South.

ANNIsTON,s CAR WORKS.
Prospects that They Will Soon Be
 Operation Again.


 Anniston, July 15.-(Special.)-A deal is under way for the purchase and lease of the car works plant in this city by one of the greatest concerns in the United States. This news comes from a reliable source. The negotia- tions are progressing favorabiy. and while the deal may not be consum- mated the indications are very strong that it will be, and its consummation means the resumption of operations on a very large scale at an early date.
 The car works plant is owned by the Illinois Car and Equipment Company, and the negotiations for its purchase from that company have followed very quickly the recent adjustment or the legal difficulties resulting from tho troubles of the Southern Car and Foun- dry Company. Such a deal was anti cipated by those in a position to know as soon as the property had reverted back to its original owners, the Hi nois Company.
 There appears to be nothing in the way of carrying the present negotid- tions to a successful termination, and should the transfer be made, Annis- tons greatest industry will very quick ly become a scene of activity and a source of revenue again. The fact that such a deal is under way and that the prospects are good for its consurnna- tion willo be encouraging to Annis- tonians

IN CONGO FREE STATE
CONDITIONS UNDER THE RULE OF
 THE BELGIANS.
Smallpox and the Seeping sickness the Principal Diseases Among Natiyes-BarOn MOncheur
 Discusses Conditions.

1 Washington, July 15.-Conditions in | the Congo Free State, asfhe Belgians see them, are interestinl described in a long report which Baron Mon cheur, the Belgian Minister at Wash ington has received from the Governor General of the Congo through Secre- tary of State of the Congo In Brus- sels The Minister today in conver- sation with a correspondent of the As- | sociated Press read several of the more | interesting portions of the report, deal- ] ing with improvement of conditions in I the Congo under Belgian rule.
 What the Governor has to say about | conditions in the Congo" said Baron Moncheur today, lis not based on idle gossip, but on facts which he has de- veloped by personal inquiry and in- vestigation.
 "Of especial interest is that portion of his report which deals with courts. l The Governor General says that the Judicial system is in excellent working order, but in the interest of its further development the establishment of news was recommends and the offerings of inducements which will secure as judges men of high talent from among
 Belgian jurists"
 He adds: That the Corgolese bench has a difficult task in weighing
 evidence because the natives as rule.
 without hesitation, offer as evidence
 any story that may suit their purpose
 As an illustration. the governor gen
 eral cites the case of natives, who in
 revenge for some dispute about wages,
 with absolute unanimity and persis-
 tency accused a British protestant
 missionary of murdering the engineer
 of the mission launch.
 Tn the effort to teach the native
 to work the government has issued a
 new decree in regard to taxes and la
 bor. of which mention is made in the
 report of the governor general. Of
 the native is required a certain amount
 of labor in return for the protection
 he receives from the state and for
 this labor he is paid at the usual rate of wages. The report points out that
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-07-16

this tax Is one which the native has no difficulty in paying, and constitutes one of the most important elements in the humanitarian program of the state.
 Tt Is evident that in order to se- cure the collection of this labor tax, it is necessary to treat the natives with paternal kindness. Experience shows that every difficulty between natives and Europeans Is followed by a diminution of business. A typical case is furnished by commercial company whose agents have been con- demned for maltreatment of natives and whose profits immediately in one year fell off 9S per cent"
 Commenting on other subjects in the report the minister said:
 "The report further shows that the shipment of rubber from the Congo, that being the chief product of the States. was negligible in quantity for a few years, but 1t has increased to such an extent that the Belgian rubber market fixes the price of rubber for the world.
 At the same time the government Is busily engaged in developing all branches of industry and commerce. The coffee and cocoa plantations have been greatly enlarged. In 1893 there was only about 60,000 coffee trees on
 
 900. 900. The production of rice has also been increased and the growth of cotton has become so fourishing espe- cially in the northeast as to cause dis quietude among the cotton growers of Egypt Not only have the railways been extended and lines projected but roads have been built for automobile traffic and automobiles placed in opera ton on them. The ports and docks are in course of improvement; the river commerce has been developed by the fleet of government steamers. telephone and telegraph lines of considerable ex- tent are in operation and even wireless telegraphy has been installed
 The report shows that in the army the administration has been improved. and that the white officers exercise a strict supervision over the native troops to prevent any excess.
 The smallpox and the sleeping sick ness are the two diseases most preva- lent among the natives. But the Gov ernor-General says that the Govern ment is making some headway against the smallpox by systematic vaccination, but no cure has been found for the sleeping sickness which destroys whole villages. The Government iso- lates the cases as much as possible,

The right to accept or reject any of the bids is reserved. Deputy Sheriff w. I. Love, who has assisted in the hanging of almost all of the men who have paid the penalty of the law for the last fifteen years in this county, and who insisted on the Board of Rev. enue providing new gallows. gave out the following interview this morning "The structure should be of wrought iron or steel. There should be a space of six and a half feet from the trap door to the beam overhead. The dis tance from the trap door to the ground should be at least 71-2 to feet. The trap should be operated with an auto- matic button, so that the man who ad- justs the knot around the doomed mans neck can work the button also. In the last fifteen years twenty-nine men, all negroes except four. have been hanged in this county legally. The wooden gallows. (two) have been worn
 out and the county needs permanent gallows therefore wrought iron or steel will be asked for" This is the first time in the history of the county that
