a great outlay of money to accomplish this Both the roads and the mer- chants at first lost money. The suc- cess that has been attained has been entirely due to the assistance given by the railroads to the merchants, ana to the fact that this problem was set tied by cooperation on a business ba-
 sis between the shippers and tho car riers.
 The Whole state Helped.
 Not only Mobile. but the people of
 Alabama, have been largely benehted
 by the impulse that has been given to trade with Cuba and the West Indies It would not have been possible TOT our merchants to have undertaken to handle this trade, to divert their en' ergies and labor and capital to this end, except for the assurance that the railroads would stand by them.
 "In this case, as In the others I have cited, 1t is apparent that such working together of the railroads and the mer' chants as has made possible this great commerce could not take place if tho railroads were restricted by the possi' | bility of their rates being fixed by z government commission

THE sELF-sTYLED "ARISTOCRACY."

pr. Hirsch Raps Those Who Think
 They're "NObIe."
 Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Self-styled Amer tcan "aristocracy" received severe rap last night at the hands of Dr. :. Emil G. Hirsch. Dr. Hirsch preached at Israel Temple on the relative sig nificance of origins and outcomes in society and religion.
 If you are to have noble family, he said, you must get back to the beginning. and if you have the proper number of ancestors you're noble.
 These ancestors, however. should not be looked up too carefully, or some one, who in comm parlance, was a cut-throat and a thief may be found. All the ancestors who came from Eu- rope were of that class. Probably the ancestor who is the object of a fam iIy's worship was a man with a big stick, who increased his territory by killing off his neighbors and annexing their possessions In that way all the States of Europe grew great.
 There are some people in America who are also beginning to talk of their social station If 1t is the beginning that counts. where would Lincoln be? He had no pedigree--not in his imme- diate parents at least, though l be- lieve his mother must have had some sort of nobility in her.
 "The greatest men in America have no ancestors but the smallest men and women are beginning to speak of their families Their ancestors probably came over, not in the Mayfiower, but in the steerage of some immigrant yes eel And he, that first one, was best T-be family probably has deterioratcd into wealthy millionaires and spends most of its time in Europe

 The faculty of the music and ora tory department of the Alabama Bre- nau gave one of the best concerts ever heard in the city last night. The piano and violin work of Director Just proved him an artist. Mrs. Foster delighted the audience with her splen- did voice. The citizens are already discussing a new and more modern building and the college promises to rank among the very best at no dis tant day.
 Swan Ogeltree, who was recently mar ried in Birmingham and his bride, are at home receiving the congratulations of their friends. Farmers are again happy and busi- ness moves on with merry hum. The rise in the price of the staple is again causing them to turn loose and money flows more freely.

TALKS FREIGHT RATES
yoHN CRAFT OF MOBILE GIVES
 OUT INTERVIEW.
Haves Reasons Actuating Guh City Delegates in Opposing Plan Tor Establishing All-Power-
 fuI Commission.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-tSpeciaLl- Jchn Craft of Mobile, member or the convention in Chicago whlcn spiis or the proposition to give the te-making power to the Interstate Commerce Commission today explained the req sons actuating the Mobile delegates In opposing the plan for empowering government commission to fix freight rates.
 T was one of the pioneers of the na- val stores business in Mobile in 1S70," said Mir. Craft. Tn spite of It's water Communications, Mobile and its tribu-' tary territory, with all its natural ad- vantages for the manufacture of naval stores, which are unedualed by any other city in the United States, was without a market and an outlet for It's uroduct and 1t was impossible for the producers of naval stores to make any money. Many of them became bank rupt. appealed to the railroads and they made 1t possible, by giving trans portation facilities. for this territory to reach the markets of St. Louis, Cincin- natl, Chicago, Savannah, San Francisco, the whole Pacific slope and all the Northwestern States.
 From that time on the manufacture of naval stores became profitable and the people of Alabama as whole, as we'll as those of Mobile. were benefited because the people brought here by the naval stores industry require the pro- ducts of the farm and Of manufactureo goods for treir subsistence.
 The Lumber Industry.
 ssThe lumber industry has been fos- tered and made possible by the rail- roads By their help we were enabled to reach markets that 1t would be i'm possible to reach if rates were fixed on anything approaching a mileage basis. Something like 40 per cent. of the lum- Der in this section was formerly burned. The export trade took on about 60 per cent. Since the railroads have made 1t possible by the rates they established for us to reach the North western markets of the United States, this great waste Is no more. I have been to Europe as well as through the United States to sell these products and am entirely familiar with the facts. The former waste has been converted to great profit, which has enhanced stumpage velue and given employment to armies of men, and the merchants and manufacturers of Alabama have profited by the changed conditions di- rectiy and indirectly. I know as a fact that twenty-five or thirty years ago, as a merchant. had to pay $1.25 freight on barrel of flour from St. Louis and correspondirgly on other freights.
 That freight rate Is now 34 cents, representing a saving of 91 cents bar rel, and the service is very much bet ter. That has been made pohsible by establishing through rate to common points.
 How has Mobile become one of the largest banana points in the world? I was one of the early importers of ba- nanas and cocoanuts. I know that the railroads. by furnishing a service and giving dispatch to this traffic, made 1t possible for Mobile to handle this per ishable product so that the trade has increased at a phenomenal rate. It re- quired a great amount of energy and

NEW LINE OF STEAMERS.
vessels VIII Ply Between New York
 and Plata River Ports

New York. Oct. 2s.-It was learned yesterday that another line of freight steamers will be put on for the Plata River ports. commencing next month. The line Is to be monthly for Mont Video. Buenos Ayres and Rosario. and will be independent of what is known as the conference lines. The agents of the new line. who intend to operate chartered steamers are Howard Houl- der, Rowat and Company limited.
 The unprecedented activity in the freight movement from the United States to Argentina, during this year has taxed the lines already in the field to the utmost and latteriy shippers have been complaining because of freight being shut out for lack of room, the advent of the new line which has not yet been given a name, gives New York the advantage of seven regular services to Montevideo, Buenos Ayres and Rosario

from the front door clean down in the
street. The stove must come down and
be put in the shed, and the yard must be
cleared of dead grass; for it's time to clean
house, and the devils to pay-and the
windows sadly need glass. Father, dear
father, come home with me now, and bring
some bologna and cheese; it's 10 o'clock
and there's nothing to eat-Pm so hun
ery I'm weak in the knees. All the din
ner we have will be cold scraps and such,

oh, wish spring cleaning was through!
Father, dear father, come home with me
now, for ma is as mad as Turk; she says
you're lazy old thing, and she proposes

Cabbage Snake in BAN berg.

Those who have read of the fatal results
of the cabbage snake will be interested IL
a little incident which occurred neal
Bamberg last Saturday.
A negro woman living on NEARBY
farm, while preparing some OF the favor
ite vegetable for her dinner, noticed
small serpent, if it can be called such
twine itself about the knife blade. She
had heard of cabbage snakes but this was
her first sight of one of the strange crea'
lures, so it was nothing more or less than
natural that she should call in her spouse
to share the sight. That day the hogs ate
heartily of cabbage, the entire yield being
given to them.
Monday the worm-like-snake was
brought to town and placed in alcohol
1t was an object of curiosity for many
people; perhaps less cabbage will be eaten
in this vicinity now that the sight as well
as the reports of these snakes has come to
the people.
