the beauty of It's flowers or for the mag nifcence of the landscape, a woodland, an island, lake or cascade, a temple Is erected. Japanese families love to go there. They bring the old people and all the little children. It Is the gayest of all pilgrimages. At first they go to salute the gods. The gravel spread in front of the temple crackles under the feet of the pilgrims, and in this way notifies tho gods that the visitors are approaching. These visitors ring little bells and clasp their hands to call up the gods, just as they do in the taverns to call up the ser- wants. Then, with smiling faces, they say a short prayer, and drop their con tributions into the boxes, after which they visit the temple and admire the antique sculptures and the gilded lacquers' Finally they all go of in family groups to chat and to laugh in the tea houses cs- tablished in the neighborhood of the holy places.

l m the last few days Mir. 2. F. stati. Iinss has been seized with a sudden in, spiration to save Alabama from Mir, lclevelsnd and from the bolters of 1888 To this end he has devised his unparal. leied twc-hsaded freak act. which he is putting upon the stage along with that rare clown J. Tom Hefin.
 It he'd been supposed that Ar. staiiings was entirely consistent with himself. His present attitude is just what might have been expected. in the light of his polit- ical career. But 1t seems that after he gave up holding or hunting once and settled down to business. there was a period in which he became entirely sane, frank and honest with himself
 This period was no longer ago than last November. On the ssth of that month he was at Andalusia. spending Sunday at the Dixie Hotel. At the same time Mir. John R. Moore. of TennilIe. Ga, was also at Andalusia., Mfr. Moore Is q travelling man. d member of the T. F. A., and rep- resents large safe factory In Buffalo. N. r. He is n Democrat and takes con siderable interest in politics. and he spent several hours on that sunday milking poll tiles with the, ex-Congressman.
 Friday night Mr. Moore heard the two Dron,ios at the Montgomery Theatre, and vas very much surprised at. stali- ingss position. Yesterday he came to The Advertiser ofice and made the fol- lowing statement. and authorized its pub lication;
 T was spending the day at the Dixie Hctel in Andalusia. on Sunday, Novem- Der g. 1908. and met Mr. Staliings there conversation he said mat he " supported Bryan in 'ys. and also that he did not then agree with Grover Cieveland's views, but since that timss fa had come to the that he hoped to have an opportunity of voting for him the next time. He said that he considered him ..the only man that could lead the Democratic Party to victory in 1904 He said that as to German, he did not stand any show of being elected, neither did Mir. Hearst, and that the party would have ito get to- gether and go back to the old Jefferson Democracy before we could elect any In November he was against German, Hearst and the field. and thought CIeve- land alone could win. Now heais against Cleveland for Mcc1elian tduring a few minutes) and for Hearst for the. best part of q two hours speech What has oc- cured to change his views so radically in so short time? Nothing in the trend of political events. Yes. we forget There was that conference at the Exchange Hotel last Saturday night, when Mir. Ihmsen. Or Impson. Hearst's manager. was present.

IA NEW ATrRAcTroN.

Richmond. Va. tiring of the dull rou- tine of politics and other ordinary af- fairs of mortals. is now exploiting a genuine ghost: The Dispatch of that city says:
 Upon the glass of a State Library win dow overlooking the Mansion of the Gov ernor of Virginia, the ghostly. shadowy form of young girl, with her bare arms plainly, gleafning In the darkness, has ap- peared tor several nights in succession, unchanged, unchanging and apparently unehangeable.
 Our contemporary goes into the details of the ghostly visitor. but the essential points are that this young and winsome lassie takes up her position on the win dow pane each night as soon as dark ness comes on and remains quiet and mo- tionless while the enraptured observers gaze with transport or trepidatIon, as the case may be. and talk in whispers about the new attraction the old city has de- veloped and over which it may plume it. self.
 Ghosts, let 1t be remembered, are not so unusual as some imagine In the old world, especially. no very old establish ment. castle or the like, is without its well regulated ghost. Even in our own country there are some old mansions which keep ghosts on hand as one of the attractions for visitors. Few of them, however. can compete with this Rich mond specimen. A comedy young girl who does nothing but pose on the window pane to the intense admiration of en- thusiastic visitors is an attraction that few places can claim. We shall expect some of the other Virginia cities, espe- cially Norfolk and Portsmouth. to pro ceed at once to set up an opposition .'hant." Ts..

Ripple of Laughter.

Tn view of the fact that 1t Is generally reported that Hearst Is opening his bar rel in his Presidential campaign, the Hearst boom started at Tuscaloosa this week by Jesse Stallings and Secretary of State J. T. Heflin has caused a ripple of laughter over the State. The Democrats of Alabama will act conservatively this year, and should be slow in espousing the cause of any man for the Presiden- tial nomination.

rRurHFuL HISTORY

The Philadelphia Record admits tha, the Southern people should not be ex- pected to relish the teaching of books which declare that the fathers of forty years ago were Ntraitors, "but." 1t adds, '1t is an undisputed fact that the cause was lost, and the South is happy and prosperous under existing conditions, and few persons regret the abolition of slav- cry; wisdom suggests that moderation should be exercised in the glorihcation of the secession movement It is a mistake to teach children what they will have to unlearn when they grow up"
 Of course the cause was lost, and we know of no school books which are in- dulging ''in the glorification of lhe se- cession movement" The fact that there Is to be a school book to which The Record alludes. that will teach the real truth of history Is encouraging. We thoroughly agree with The Record that It Is mistake to teach children what they will have to unlearn when they grow up" That is just the kind of teaching that our children have received from Northern histories. and we have had too much of it. We are not after having our children taught to glorify se- cession. but we want them taught the truth, not from Northern or a South ern standpoint but from a fair and i'm partial one. This has not always heer done. and as 6 consequence the boys and girls of the South have learned much that they must unlearn. and much that Is far worse than ignorance. If a strictly fair and truthful history has been writ ten It should be welcomed. both North and South. but If 1t is unfair and unjust to either side there should be no place for it.

It Is somewhat singular that service in the Confederate army was so much more telling on the constitutions of the soldiers than service in the Union army was. At Ieast we judge that is true, because the confederates are fast dying out while the UnIon pensioners are increasing. Service an the Confederate army shortened the lives of the soldiers. it'would seem. while service in the Federal army merely pre- pared them for pensions.

 The Montgomery Advertiser. which has charge of the Cleveland stIIlhunt, says the leaders of the Hearst boom are back number politicians. and it intImates that they were sedueed by the Hearst barrel. The Hearst boomers may reply that se- ductlon by the barrel route is at least as good as seduction by the patronage route, and crimination and recrimlnation may follow to the convention day in May.
