 Wilcox Banner.
 Writing on the political pow-wow practically announced for governor. Captain J. Fleet Foster, one of the ablest writers on the Alabama press. says in his paper, The Wilcox Banner:
 '1So doubt Mir. Conner made there the speech he intended to deliver before the Press Association at Sylacauga- the same speech that was squelched by the Executive Committee of said asso- ciation---another non-political organi- zation, but which Is not near so rigid along that line as the two above nam and Underwood are both prospective candidates--not 80 the governor. Mir. Corners time was given over to the abuse of railroads, and what he would not only had the State of Alabama by the throat but also its officers, and as such were hindering the progress of the great State of Alabama-all of est and truthful Jelks, who, speaking from the same stand. asserted that the State was never so prosperous-that her officials were honest and the State treasury was filled to overfiowing- $750.000 now lying Idle in her vaults and that he intended to call an extra session of the Legislature to disburse 1t among the schools of the land Where did the money come from and why this era of prosperity and honestyH why it came from the people and from the railroads who are among the heaviest taxpayers-roads that have built up our cities. and have reached out into desert places-and if they are robbers, 1t Is the sort of robbers that the people desire-for they continually do cry" for them.

Rev. w. F. Jenkins Thinks Union of
 China and Japan Remote.
 '~The West need have no fear of the yellow peril. Japan's success Tn the war with Russia will not in the time Of anyone now living mean an actual union nor a mere union of sympathies with China for offensive action against the rest of the world, nor even for the de- fense of the two nations. Although the Emperor of China does hold sway earth. his country is like great sleep ing monster, intense, in desire to be left undisturbed. but too ignorant of Its own powers and too indifferent to them
 Rev. William F. Jenkins, a missiona- " of the Southern Presbyterian Churcn, who is at home on a furiough Of year province of Kiangsu. China. about 300 miles northwest of Shanghai. thus spoke last night at the Rennert Hotel: to be feared" said Rev. MT. Jenkins. "is first. that she has a deep dislike for the Japanese. Then she is indifferent as a matter to Western learning. The vast Ignorance and poverty as finds no room for thought on higher subjects than eating, sleeping and drinking. There
 is no evidence of tendency, in any assimilate Western intelligence.
 Yet China would not prove an easy prey. There is an intense race pride and individual ancestor worship which holds her people together. even in her ignorance. China will be long In in trod,icing governmental reforms. all though the young Emperor, now under the sway of the Emrpess Dowagers s hard hand, favors reforms and is even said to be a Christian, because there
 is neither intelligence nor a capacity for making personal sacrifices. Any revolution would merely mean the re- placing of one dynasty with another equally as bad.
 Though fighting one another as they | do. they unite immediately against the | foreigner. This is understood when. i asking a Chinaman how long he has lived in a certain city. you are coolly answered: Five hundred years. He speaks of his family. Many can trace l their ancestry back thousand years. l It is rather natural for such a man to resent seeing foreigners treading the | soil of his fathers and forefathers. es-

And Santa Claus sells fresh and salt meats, vegetables, canned goods, dry goods aprons, sunbonnets, fish fruit and almost anything you might mention. And Santa Claus is ubiquitous.
