Some Further Debate on Co.,

BUFFALO BODY VOTE TODAY
Presbyterians at Dallas Spend Day In Going Over Business Matters, and Adjourn Until
 Next Year.

Mobile, May 26.-The storm of yester- day in the general assembly, was follow ed by calm, which came with the final action on the report of the committee on closer relations, ending the rather spirit ed debate which was at times very ex- citing. In the afternoon session there was some further debate on the subject of the report of the committee on colored evan gelization. but there was nothing out of the ordinary in this debate, and the mat ter was brought to a head by the final adoption of the report including the rec ommendation of the appropriation of $15, 600 for work during the ensuing year.
 The debate in the afternoon session was somewhat enlivened by the report of the committee on foreign missions which made no recommendation for the reten- tion of Dr. Chester, the present secretary of the foreign missions board, who has occupied the position for the past ten years. His friends took exception to this part of the report and some O. them characterized 1t as a stab in the back al Dr. Chester, and his friends offered a substitute to the report looking to his re- tention in the office. The matter went over to the night session, but that being a popular meeting on the subject of for egn missions, action was deferred until tomorrow

 How old are you?" asked the Senator as a twinkle came into his eyes.

BESSEMER SHOWS GROWTH
Salary of Postmaster Has Been In- creased By Postoffice Department
 and Receipts Are Mounting
 Steadlly-other News.

Bessemer, May 26.-(Speclal)-At a meeting of the officials of the Bessemer city court yesterday evening 1t was de- cided by a vote of four to two that the court rooms should remain In Rebie hall. This question has created considerable discussion in Bessemer. It was before the board of revenue but that body re- ferred 1t to the court officials for ad- justment.
 Some time ago Chambers McAdory ap- peared before the board of revenue and submitted plans for a new structure to be erected for the use of the court. His plan was endorsed and work was begun on the new building. This movement met with considerable opposition and number of citizens appeared before the board of revenue, some urging that the court be removed and others that 1t re- main at Rebie hall.
 After the board had heard both sides of the controversy it decided to leave the location of the court rooms with the city court officials. Last evening the of- ficlals met and 1t was voted to recom- mend to the board of revenue that the quarters of the court remain at Rebie hall.
 Bessemer Growing.
 As a proof of Bessemer's rapid growth 1t was one of the few cities in the state the salary of whose postmaster was raised by the department for the ensuing year. At the annual readjustment of the salaries of the postmasters the Bessemer office was raised from $22O0 to s2300 Dur ing the past year the office has made great increase in its business The gov ernment, realizing that the city has outgrown the present quarters, has pur- chased a site on which 10 erect new government building. A bill was intro- duced in the last congress providing for an appropriation with which to erect the structure, but for some reason it did not pass

DRESS TO THE HIGH MAN.

The people must be taught to
realize that manhood is the output
as compared to which all other
crops and profits are dead loss.
The church has preached that for
1900 years, but for the most part
no differently in the democracy
from the way she preached it un-
der the monarchies from which we
came. The old parties teach that
the high man must be set back to
the level of ''the gang" when he
goes to the election. The message
of the Prohibition party is, Keep
up with the high man in you! Seek
We first the dominance and sanctity
of manhood, and, in seeking that,
the lesser elements of national
prosperity will be found.
The people must be taught to
loathe dishonesty. The old parties
habitually interpret and admins.

O FFICEAL PIPER
SPECIAL
Notice to Subscribers

1t is a common saying that we
learn by experience. When the
present publisher stepped into the
cditorship of The Press he had a
theory about what was the right
or most successful way to make
a local newspaper o profit
able enterprise. That theory
was that everybody would take a
city weekly. the publishers Of
which were in the habit of giving
country publishers a lower rate
than others. Thus we thought we
could print The Press for one
dollar alone or for ST. 25 to 1.5O in
combination with some other
paper. But the theory has been
rudely shaken up by a notice from
our patent inside house of raise
of price of our patents. In con-
sequence of this increase we are
compelled to restore the sub
scription price of The Press to its
former terms, viz: S1.5O. But to
make this equitable to those OF
our friends who have stood by us
since we lost our printing press by
fire three years ago we will give
all of them a chance to pay up, as
we'll as for one year in advance.

GOOD ROADS AND CURRENCY.

The Press is in receipt of copy
of Congressman Brownlow's bill
now pending to appropriate $24,-
OOO,O as National aid for the
building of wagon roads, together
with a letter from Mr.. Brownlow
asking our endorsement of it. AS
to the merits of each particular
section of the bill, we do not need
to criticise them, for we look upon
the bill as framed as a step in
the right direction.
But it is only mere mite in the
final thought or intelligence on the
subjectof public roads. The larg-
er public issue Immediately con-
neoted with it is greenback cur
rency. Another thing is that un-
der the rule of graft" as our
large cities are teaching it to us,
the largest share of the govern
ment appropriation will never see
a road at all, but will 60 towards
giving q fat living to a lot of new

The foregoing is consideration
No. Q.
The next thing is. what kind of
action is it that is proposed for
the states? The Press has for a
long time had a state good roads
scheme in it's incubator. the
essential feature of which is
that the legislature should pro-
vide for a special road fund, to
be created by road tax on
every foot of land alike, against
nonresident owner as we'll as
resident,-no part of it to be lev
led on personal which
should be expended under the
direction of a new county official
to be known as County Road Sup
ervisor. This new official should
be required to be an experienced
surveyor. He should make and
let all contracts for road work un-
der the direction and approval of
the board Of county commission
ers. This system we would like to
see adopted in lieu of the present
one of township overseers.
