AS an example of the indifference
often shown by ofhcials to the dangers
from water pollution, we take this from
The Richmond News-Leader:
An observant citizen reports to The
News-Leader that the camp for the
men sands mules employed on the new
settling basin has been fixed on a hill
which drains into canal about two
miles above the city pumping station
About two hundred men and one hun
dred and fifty mules are in this camu
and all the drainage, including that
from the stables, goes directly into the
canal and inevitably pollutes the city
water supply.
No one fact is better established than
IS the theory that foul water causes
disease and especially typhoid fever
It has been demonstrated so clearly
that we suppose no medical authority
will deny it. yet in this case the Off
cials and health authorities suffer con-
ditions to exist which cannot do 9TH
erwise than pollute Richmond's drink
ing water. If they had gone deliber-
ateIy to work to contaminate the wa
tel supply OF the city they could hard
" have done it more effectuaIly.

TIE HORRORS OF WAR.

Referring to the statement that it is
II waste of money to spend millions oil
dollars building and eqnipping a bat
tleship which may be blown UP by a
torpedo, The Chattanooga Times ar
CUES:
To what better use can money be put
than to provide ways and means for
emphasizing, simplifying and charging
the terrors and horrors of war? The
"Hly hope, apparently we have for the
universally of peace lies in destruot-
iyeness of war. If by the expenditure
of billions of money the enginery OF
destruction could be made so powerful
and complete as that a nation might be
blown out of existence almost IN a
justified in the end attained-the i'm
possibility of war? When the day
shall arrive that warships can no long
er be relied upon to control the seas,
then we are likely to witness an I'M
brchkable peace among nations. The
%arship, however, hasn't been put out
demonstrated that there is neces-
sity for devising some safe and secure
means of avoiding mines and keeping
torpedoes at a distance.
Carrying the argument to its legit-
in ate conclusion, If Russia. for exam
pie. should build a warship capable
oe carrying $4,000 men, and should put
them on 1T and send 1t out to be blown
up and sunk, with all on board, by
japanese torpedo. the act would be
ccmmendable, because it would illus
trate the horrors of war. The theory
may be all right, but it's practical ap-
plication would be all wrong. We
have for many years been reading tho
prediction that as wars become more
destructive they will become less fire.

The Alabama Democrat..

Fort Gaines (Ga-) Recorder.
we get very full details Of the Demo
cratic State Convention held in that
city on the 25th inst The proceeding
only consumed part of one day, and
were generally harmonious, very little
discussion being INDUCED in.
The sentiment of the delegates was
so entirely for Parker that no one else
was thought of. There were few
scattering Hearst spielers in the crowd
of them tried to make a donkey of
himself by starting in to make a
speech for what he called the regular
Democracy His object was to try
but the convention sat down on him
so suddenly and so decidedly that he
must have felt even cheaper than the
proverbial thirty cents His reception
convinced others of his kind that the
convention was composed of Demo-
Gratis, and had no patience with his
contemplate efforts to stir up strife.
The delegates to st. Louis were
practically instructed for Parker.
Under the unit rule which was adopt
ed they will vote for the Judge. unless
some unforeseen change takes place. 1t
is certain that the delegation Will not
vote for Hearst or any man OF his
kind. A few Hearst men slipped in
or were sneaked in-but they will be
powerless for harm, and might as well
stay at home.
knowing as much as we do about
Alabama men and Alabama Democrats
we are free to say that the only dis
creditable act of the convention was
its failure to elect Major w. w. Screws
as one of the delegates from the State
at large. We have known him close
iy and well for many long years, and
there Is not a truer man or truer Demo-
crat in Alabama-bar none. He was
fighting the battles Of Democracy and
white supremacy before many of his
present enemies were born, and when
some Of the others were fornicating
with radicalism and Populism. II Is
q shame that such men should have
power enough in a Democratic con-
vention to keep down a man so much
better than themselves.
But Major Screws and The Advertt-
ser have always fought everything ex-
cept genuine Democracy. They fought
radicals and carpetbaggers, negro rule,
Popuiism, Organism and and free silver
and everything ss else but the psmoc,

implacable members of the party who
are always against men they can't
reach up to: The refusal to select him
convention, but it has not injured him
or The Advertiser. Both will be
stronger. and will have more influence
with the best and truest sentiment OF
the State than they would II he had
him the convention lowered itself to
crafty the spite and envy of a few
men who can never measure up to his
sta ndard.
We say this much because Of our
intimate acquaintance with Major
Screws and our personal knowledge OF
what he has done for Alabama and
the Democratic party. Leaving out
this wrongful act or omission the con-
vention was in every way a credit to
Alabama Democracy

The friend of the young man, as COM

marriage" and sent 1t to the editorial
rooms
AS is customary in such cases an In
vestigation was made to insure accura-
cy. 1t was found that no marriage
license had been issued and no Mont
gomery minister had performed cere-
mony This settled 1t so far as the
information of Mr.. Sedberry went. The
Advertiser had assured itself that a
hoax had been attempted.
But the copy of the notice inadver-

and appeared in this paper yesterday
morning.
Mr.. Sedberry has not married, him
self to the contrary notwithstanding.
The names of no real persons save that
of Mr.. Sedberry were used. He has
nobody to blame but himself.

SECURING your SCALP.
VIII Remove the Loose DandrufF Scales
But 1t Won't Cure D0ndFufR.

If your hair is brittle and thinning.
you have dandruft. The mere securing
of the scalp of the loose scales, won't
cure dandruff, because dandruff is moth
ing but scales of scalp being thrown
up by a pestiferious little germ In bur-
rowing its way to the root of the hair
where it saps the vitality. causing fall
ing hair and, in time. badness. Now
you can't stop dandruff nor falling hair,
nor prevent badness unless YOU de-
stroy that germ: and the only prepa-
ration that can do it is the new scien-
titic discovery, NewhrO's Herpicide. In
fact no other hair preparation claims
to kill the dandrur germ-all OF them
will clean the scalp; soap and water
will do that, but only Newbro's Her
picide gets at the root of the trouble
and kills the dandruf germ. Sold by

Young Women In Court.

The presence of three beautiful young
women in the court room OF the SUI
preme Court of Alabama, gave to the
solemn and impressive proceedings of
the Court yesterday an unusual touch
of beauty The three young ladies, all
of them handsome, were dressed in the
prettiest and fullest of summer cos
times. They were given prominent
seats In the big red carpeted room
during the deliberations of the court.
They were not there by accident.
Three young men, each a friend to one
OF the young ladies, were admitted to
practice law in the courts of Alabama.
The young ladies were there to give
encouragement to the young men in the
trying moments they were to stand be-
fore the awe-inspiring Justices of the
Supreme Court.
The records of the Supreme Court
will show that on June End, Messrs
w. A. Blount of Pensacola, Fla, John
Mcqueen of Eutaw, and It. s. Winkler
OF Greenyille, were admitted to prac-
three were prominent students in the
bsma. Messrs, MCQUEEN and Winkler

families. Mr. Blount Is gaduate of
Yale and is the well known football
coach of the University of Alabama. He
will practice law with his father, Col.
w A. Blount, prominent attorney of

A White womnn's Protest.

Editor of The Advertiser:
l was glad to see, in your Wednes-
days issue, a protest from at least one
citizen against the action of the street
railroad company. in virtually shutting
off the white people from one of its
lines. l am a resident of the portion of
the city through which this line passes,
and to which, by it's charter, it is sup
posed to render impartial service by
providing separate accommodation in
different parts of the car for whites
and blacks, but as a matter of fact. no
accommodation whatever is reserved
for whites. The other night l reached
the city between 9 and 10 o'clock. re-
TURNING from a trip, and after stand
ing on a corner for more than half an
hour trying to get a car for my home,
and being crowded off every time by
the crush of negroes, I was compelled
at last to take a Belt car and walk
several blocks to reach my destination.
Now, I have no desire to infringe
upon the just rights of the colored
people that have taken possession of
the car line. but it does seem to me
that white people, too, have some rights
in this matter, and that white women
have a right to expect that the white
voters of the city will protect them
from the necessity of having to wander
alone and on foot through the streets
at night because the ordinance requir-
ing equal accommodation for them on
the car lines is not complied win.

The JanEllnE Voice in the Convention

Dothan Home Journal.
Mr.. Helms was the only janglins
voice heard during the session Of the
convention 1t grated harshly upon
the ears of some who did not intend tn
vote for Major Screws. 1t was ex-
tremely distasteful to his friends, and
Mr.. Heflin had no right to infict the
unpleasantness upon them only to
crafty his spleen against that gentle
man. 1t was disrespectful to the CON
ventiop In assuming that it was COM
posed of men of such dull sense of pro-
priety and such low conception of the
amenities of gentlemen that they would
tolerate an attempted insult of a high
ly respected gentleman just because
Mr.. Tom Helm had a grudge against
him.
Mr.. Helm had quick and vigorous
evidence that he made a mistake, II
nothing more. And when Major Screws
received ISIS votes, many of them from

standing his withdrawal a man with
