gan, a trust organ, and a whiskey organ
that always has an ulterior purpose in
whatever it suggests. Any kind of a row
that works for Democratic division or dis
sension is welcomed by it, because its
bosses see in such conditions chance to
control the next General Assembly. And
that, plus the desires of the whiskey
crowd, is why the Post is now trying to
repeal or modify the Watts law.
Neither the Democrats, who oppose such
legislation, nor the Democrats who will
stand to it to the death. will stand for
the Posts propaganda conceived In sin

strangled. The Watts law viii stand!

Not one of them can vote unless the tax

5welve days from tomorrow
This is a matter of great Importance,
and deserves to be considered AT ONCE

WHAT DR.. BUCKLEY WOULD DO.

The ablest man in the Northern Metho-
dist church is Rev. DR.. j. NJ Buckley,
editor of the New York Christian Ad-
vocate. He is a broad-minded Christian
editor, worthy to be at the head OF
Americas greatest Methodist paper. In
an address before the New. York East
Methodist Conference in session at Brook
iyn, few days ago, DR.. Buckley laid
down the soundest rule yet stated by
anybody in regard to accepting money
for worthy purposes from rich men who
have acquired their wealth by doubtful
means He told the Conference at Brook
Ign that an institution supported by small
gifts has more promise than one sup
ported by large sums from men whose
money is tainted, and said:
did John D. Rockefeller offer money
for the Methodist Hospital, 1 would take
it, but l would tell him just what l
thought of his business methods at the
same time. While 1 would take money
from a rumseller, still 1 would not go
to the rumseller and ask for a subscrip-
ton
It need not be added that John D.
Rockefeller will give nothing TO that
Hospital. He will give rather to the
Chicago University, which has in its
faculty one man who, after Rockefellers
second largest gift, declared that Rookie
Teller was greater man than Shakes
peare, and others in the faculty or man
agement who are ready to make door
mats of themselves any day that Rookie
feller would choose to do them the hon
or to walk upon them.
4 would take it end tell Rockefeller
what 1 thought of his business methods
at the same timen' Spoken like a mani
Dr. Buckley is not ready to play toady to
iil-gotten wealth or money obtained iii
defiance OF law Ida NJ. Tarbeii's state
ntents taken from records and witnesses
that have not been inpeachcd, show that
Rockefeller's methods have been the
methods described in these lines;
Let him take who has the power
And let him keep who cam
Money from that source does not 60 to
any institutions that are presided over
by men OF DR.. Buckley's fran,zness, cour-
age and honesty. 1t rather goes to those
institutions whose head is shrewd enough
to exalt Rockefeller, and, like Harper,
wish the students to study the charac-
ter-as Harper presents it-of Rockefel
ler If the Chicago University would re-
quire every student to study Rockefeller's
character as shown in the strue story CT
his business life by Miss Tarbell that in
stitution would not be rolling in wealth.
from the imagination of President Harper
that is taught at Chicago.
In the days CT the corruption Of the
Church CT Rome, before and during Luth-
ers tina, rich men sought to buy them
selves a seat in heaven by large gifts to
the church Today the same sale of in
6ulgence, is seen when Christian institu-
tons, in return for millions OF endow-
nent. undertake to make wrecker of
the fortunes of his fellows the ideal
Christian citizen--a greater man than
Shakespeare. We denounce the priests
OF the dark ages who played upon the
cradulity of the dying rich men. Are
the Harpers of this day any better?
o, for the spirit of Buckley, in the
churches and in the college!

HUNTSVILLE INVITES
 FOREIGN SPINNERS
THE RESOLUTION COMM VENDING JUDGE JONES' CHARGE TO JURY RESULTS IN TIE IN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.

Huntsville, October 14.-(Special.)-A
 strong effort will be made to have the
 Master Cotton Spinners association of
 Manchester, England, to visit this city
 during the tour of the south that will
 be made at an early date by representa-
 tives of that organization, with a view
 of finding the localities that offer the
 best advantages for the location of cot
 ton manufactures. At the monthly meet
 ing of the chamber of commerce last
 night the following resolution, offered
 by Captain Milton Humes, was adopted
 unanimously:
 'Whereas, we have noticed from the
 newspapers that great interest is be-
 ing manifested in portions of Europe, es-
 pecially by the Federation of Master Cot
 ton Spinners of Manchester, England in
 the investigation and examination of ,o-
 calities in the south with a view of To- establishment of cotton manufactories. Therefore be it resolved, That a committee of three members of the cham Der of commerce be appointed to extend to the Federation of Master Cotton Spinners' associations and to all other associations and persons having in view
 the purposes and objects indicated by | this resolution, an earnest invitation to l visit Huntsville, Ala, with the assurance | that they will receive a whole-souled welcome rom our community
 Captain Humes was appointed as chair
 man of the committee suggested and the l invitation was cabled to Manchester to- day.
 Charles F. Lane, president of the Ala bama Industrial and Commercial asso- ciation. offered a resolution as follows: Resolved That the chamber of com merce deeply deplore and condemn tho recent mob violence in the county oi Madison, State of Alabama. We regard 1t as a blot and a disgrace on the gooC name of our community, and we appea to all good citizens in future to cast thei influence in behalf of law and order Resolved That the chamber of com merce desire to express to Judge Thomas G. Jones, judge of the United States dis trict court, our thanks for and approya of his timely, able and learned charg, delivered 10 the district court last Tues day. Resolved further, that we believ, the charge of Judge Jones is calculated to instruct the entire south as to theil duty in obedience to law and that f will prove itself a document that vii earn for itself a national fame" The offering of this resolution provoked spirited debate and ended by a tit vote and the resolution was lost. Chair man Thompson, Captain Humes anf Robert c. Brickell said they thought fl time the lynching matter be allowed to rest and that reviving it in this man. ner was out of place entirely. The loca papers were requested to keep the dis cussion and the resolution out of print but MT. Lane threatened tc make the whole mater public. even If he is com pelled to resign his membership in the

 Furnace No. 6, better known as Little Belle" is being overhauled from top to bottom, and the indications are that be- fore many weeks that will be in blast also. This is the newest of all the Besse- mer furnaces and Is located between the city limits and Robertstown.
 Taken as a whole, the industrial situa- ton at Bessemer is brighter than it has been in several months. Before the new year comes in the prospects are that the industrial conditions will again be nor nal.
  two furnaces are operating on full time and making splendid records. Since the industries of the Woodward company were started up in August, everything has been running smoothly.
 The ore mines on Reu Mountain are operating on full time; also the mines or the Bessemer Land and Improvement company, and the mines at Virginia AL Blue creek the output of the Tennessee companys mines is sad to be very grat- flying.
 The several industries that were not af- fected by the strike situation, and whicn have been operating on full time are stiii in blast and are turning out finished pro- ducts in large volume.
 The guide mill, the plate mill, and the bar mill of the Bessemer rolling mills that were started some time ago on the ''open shop basis, are still running on full time. Additional men are being brought in and the rumors are that pre-. parations will shortly be started to start m the puddling department.

Republicans to Rush Movement.

It is understood that the republican club of Ensley will do everyLnlng in its power to get a free city delivery in Ensley. Last year the office lacked a few dollars in it's receipts of having the amount required for free delivery. Since then however, the business has decreased. The republi- cans took the matter up last night and will do everything in their power to have the office raised.
 Whether the next president is republican or democratic, the next postmaster of Ensley will be a republican, as the term of the present postmaster expires in De- cember, a few months before the next president will take his seat.
 It is understood that there will be sev- eral applicants for the appointment when the term of the present Lpostmaster, T. B. Lawler, expires. number of promi- nent local republicans are being mem tioned for the place, and the appointment it is expected, will bring out a pretty and interesting contest.

 Cunningham Asks a Question.
 In an interview printed in the Mont gomery Journal this afternoon, Acting Governor Cunningham came fairly near q discussion of the charge of Judge Thomas G. Jones to the federal grand inrv at Huntsville last Tuesday, when he said: Shall the sovereign states or the south be permitted to administer thelr political. legal and social affairs without interference upon the part Of the na- tional government? The 1uli ihterNie" follows:
 ."rhe present national election is or o,reater importance to the southern peo- nle than any which has occurred since 1SeO In the election of 1860 the question of the right of a sovereign state to se- cede and the right of a sovereign state 10 establish and maintain It's instltu- lions and the right of the people or a state to emigrate into a common terri tory of the United States with all thelr property in this territory py the soVern- ..ll ment of the United States, were the lm- portant issues. - l.
 "The great issue now is one that m wolves the basic principles Of natural 1 law, in the recognition and acceptance ol 1 the natural distinction in the races ol mankind the proper solution or Whicn l involves the civilization and soclal rela- 1 tions of the people or the souIii . 1 issue is not one of justice and equity to any particular race, for l believe that I all the citizens of the south, regaroless l of race. are entitled to just, fair ana eoual protection in life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness. Ana, further believe that the laws of all south- ern states guarantee this protectioh without partiality and l also further pe- lieve that the administration of these laws will be fearless and fair.
 ''The great question is, shall the SOW ereign states of the south be permitted to administer their political legal ana social affairs without interference upon the part of the national government?
 Tn consideration of the great impor- tance of national administration wno will recognize the rights of southern state in s.ll these particulars as being equal to the rights of any other state In the union 1t occurs to me that the south should do everything in its power that is honest and right to procure the | election of the democratic ticket. The people of the south are patriotic, honest and just, and if let alone will manage their own affairs with justness, fair ness and equity to all people without any interference upon the part of the na- tional government
