Material for Historical Romance.

Selma Journal.
 The series of articles appearing in The Montgomery Advertiser on the Vine and Olive Colony" by Will T. Sheehan are very interesting, instruct i've and we'll written. Perhaps they will bring to the attention of many peo- pie for the first time one of the most in- teresting stories of the colonization of Alabama. We have often regretted that Pickett did not give. his careful and painstaking investigation to this incident and write a complete history of the colony at time when many of the colonists were living and full his tory could have been obtained. The sketch in his history of Alabama is fragmentary and incomplete. In this day of historical romances no better material ever waited a writer than the history of this colony. We have often urged friend of ours, who sometimes writes books, to weaveN a romance around the old Wine and Olive" colony. He has promised to do it and We have hope that some day we will read the story of the French exiles who came to Alabama interwoVen with pleasing fic- ton

The dificulty of maintaining an im- aginary boundary line between two na- tions and across a large body of water is well illustrated on Lake Superior. where the boundary between the United States and Canada is a great circle sweeping across the waters of the lake, the greater portion of which is admit ted to be in this country. The lake ahounds in fish. and as the boundary cannot be marked or designated it is not uncommon for American fishing boats to go almost to the Canadian shore. They are clearly transgreasors and on several occasions the Canadians have resorted to their cannon to drive the intruders of It would seem that some kind of international agreement rnight be made whereby the waters of the lake would be free to all, but it has not been done.

A Bad Showing.

Union Springs Herald. "
 According to The Advertiser there are 250, ,000 white men in Alabama who are subject to registration and only l90,000 who can vote. This is a bad state of affairs and shows a decided lack of interest in the welfare of the commonwealth. The payment of poll tax is light burden when regularly man owes himself as we'll as his State. 1t is some time yet to the final limit, February 1, but the sooner the tax Is paid the better. and next year will be should be able to voice his sentiments.

WE DENY THE CHARGE.

Some days ago The Advertiser had an account, with comments, of the convic- l tion of a bad nigger" in Hartford, Conn.,. taking the position that both the brute and the people of that city had learned something by the incident. The Hsrtford Times copied the editorial with this comment
 Some comments which we reprint from The Montgomery Advertiser with reference to the ignorant negro brute, the State prison for carving up a fellow on the streets of Hartford and who foolishly insisted on conducting his own strikes us. unfair to the negro race. Bartlett's case is extreme, unusual, rare. Happily the number of Bartletts is small. and it's unjust to judge the negro as it would be unwise to judge 1t as a whole by its best specimens.
 re-reading of our original editorial fails to convince us that it was either bitter or unfair to the colored race. We distinctly spoke of, the negro Bartlett, as specimen of what a real brute a negro can be- and did not say or inti- @@4@S~ sAA~@s nv " sAS 6 k1AA SpCClulcA Ol thc race, much less that all are like him. We also remarked that the Southern negroes of that sort who are deceived by frequent expressions of Northern sympathy into the belief that they can go up there and defy the law should learn lesson from the fate of the brute who will serve his time in a-con- necticut prison. We really think the incident will do good in two ways. It has shown the people there how bad a negro can be and 1t may help to teach the lower class of that race that they cannot commit assaults and other | crimes in New England and escape pun ishment any more than they can in the South. We do not admit the bitterness or unfairness.

Looking at 1t from different point of view suc- wealth of information never equalled besides settling question that has agitated the wisest men for genera tions.

Annivehsary of Discovery.

Few people recognized today" said a we'll informed Montgomery man, that 413 years ago, Christopher Colum- bus discovered the Western hemisphere and made possible the greatness of this country. We are prone to celebrate the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and every city and locality has it's own days that are annually observed. Yet l venture 10 say that there was not a single locality on this side of the globe that today remembered the bold Geonese mariner. And yet had it not been for Columbus. we would have had no Washington nor Lee. The Declaration of Independence perhaps would never have been signed. We might today have to admit the superiority of some man or woman whose claim 10 distinc- ton was their father or their mother. or their ancestors. l expect that on Wat ling's Island even, no one gave Colum- bus a thought, and yet we roast Ferdi- nand for putting him in chains"

xE HE FINDS IT.

After all the millions or doliArs anu thousands of lives that have been sac- rihced in the search for the North Pole many are led to inquire what would be the gain to humanity r.the world if 1t should be found? If, as is generally believed the Polar region is nothing but a vast region of eternal ice. uninhabit- able by human beings, there could be no material advantage to the world from it's discovery. On the other hand if it should turn out, as some dreamers hold. that the Pole Itself is surrounded by a continent possessing moderate temperature, fitted for human habita- tions, would it then be possible to find 4 safe and feasible way to and from it so that the inhabitants of the now known parts of the earth can visit it at pleasure? If that is impossible, or If there is nothing there but eternal ice. no material good can result to mankind from its discovery.
 These are the questions and doubts of those who look only on the utilita- rian side of things, but there is some thing besides utility in this world. So far as we know no material good comes to any of us from the discovery of new satellite, or a new moon to one of the great planets. No human being would be benefited if an astronomer should discover an entirely new planet whose existence has never been suspect ed. and so of many things about which wise men have worried time out of mind.
 But, as we said. there is something besides utility in the search, and cer- tainly Americans can heartily wish suc- cess to Commander Peary in his present effort. For many long years the search for the North Pole has been going on. Geographers and navigators, urged on and encouraged by various nations have joined in the search. Mlsfortunes like those which befel Sir John Frank lin nearly three-score years ago only add to the energy of scientists in ft- ting out and sending off expeditions to discover that which has heretofore re- mained one of the mysteries of earth. To change an old couplet little they might say:

Recklessness of Young Negroes.

s'1 saw one of the most shameful per- formances on a residence street the other day that have ever seen in my life," said an old citizen yesterday. Tt was the reckless driving of a little negro boy in the buggy tearing through the street seemingly regardless of what he ran into. A little girl had climbed down from her bicycle when the negro came flying by. She drew up to the sidewalk as near as possible and rested the wheel against the curbing to give the rampant driver and his vehicle the whole thoroughfare The boy seemed to want more room for the horse which he tried to drive at break-neck speed and the buggy veered to that side of the street. It looked as if the girl would be killed on the spot. Fortunate ly the wheel from which she had just alighted was between her and the buggy and the latter crashed into the bicycle so that most of the force was spent before the wheel passed over her
 This reckless driving is prevented its customary wantonness. The police the city and 1t is well that they are not I believe for this reason 1t is up to the owners of these vehicles to see to It that they get reliable boys to do this service. They should exercise some sort of discipline oyer such young em- ployes who think 1t brilliant work to drive like house on fire.
 "A fatality will probably be neces- sary to bring this danger more promi- nently before the general public eye"

Side walk PeneiIinas
isuorInr Awakened Wiley.

Hon. Lafe Young. editor and pro- prietor of The Des Moines Capital, one of Iowa. was during the Spanish Ameri.. can conflict, the war correspondent or his paper and spent several months lh Cuba. He was also one of the news party upon their recent itinerary tp the Orient. He has described many things of interest; and among the numerous articles communicated to his paper IS amusing incident. in which Congress- man A. A. Wiley, took a leading part:
 The most Sremarkable experiences were by two members of Congress who evidently did not know each others pecp1iarities. In the evening when they found that they had been desig- mated as roommates they were delight enthusiasm and begun to plan their mutual pleasures. and to predict how beautifully they would get along together. With the waves gently rolling and with ship sailing smoothly these two statesmen were becoming coll lege chums at once: they were going tos keep their tobacco in common; they were going to ask no questions in re- to be shipmates and partners, comrades in fact as well as in name. Joy was written upon their countenanees. They had their first dinner together and may nave ndu q CUIhtatl HI iuS0aIC LII SAdt- The evening sped on and the hour of retirement came. They retired simul- taneopsly. The ship was quiet. Not leaf stirred, not a wave stirred. The fog horn did not blow. and the ship was noiseless in the night. All nature slept. These two comrades were Colonel Wiley, a member of the House from Alabama, and D. E. McKinlay, a member of the House from California. The next morning Colonel Wiley arose at o'clock and after partially dressing Himself was found standing alone near the railing on the shelter deck, minus a collar and looking like a man who had spent a night with the boys in Oshkosh. Another wayfarer, awaken ed by the fog horn of the early morn ing, approached Colonel Wiley and asked him if he was not we'll. Then the colonel related in his rich Southern brogue that that man McKinlay Is the greatest snorer on the American conti- nent. He said that McKinlay got to sleep first and was in full swing and that he had heard nothing so sonorous since he heard steamboats whistle on the Alabama River; that McKinlay was the most variegated, picturesque and demonstrative snorer that he had ever heard; that he gave the nasal tone, the chest tone and the mouth tone and that he never played with the soft pedal during the entire night"

Fatal Riot in Tuskegee.

Montgomery, Ala, Dec. ia spe-
cial to the Advertiser from Tuskegee,
Ala, says: While attempting to arrest
Robert and James McBryde on Main
street here tonight, Sheriff T. F. Co.
mer was perhaps fatally stabbed, Rob-
ert and James McBryde were both
shot to death. Deputy Sheriff George
Tanner was dangerously stabbed about
the body and legs, and City Marshal
S. Z. Taylor was cut about the arms.
The cause Of the tragedy was an at
tempt on the part Of the sheriff and
city marshal to arrest the McBryde
brothers, who it is alleged, were drink
ing and acting in a disorderly manner
in their boarding house. They resisted
arrest and used their knives freely,
which caused the officers to bring their
pistols into play.

CALHOUN COUNTY WINS.
State Board Of Canvasscrs Reverses
Action of Edgefield Board.

Columbia, Jan. 17.-Calhoun coun-
ty scorea an easy victory in the first
skirnish yesterday in the fight over
the formation Of the new county,
which is being so vigorously opposed
by Edgefeld. In the appeal from the
Edgefeld board of election canvassers,
which threw out the returns from
that county on the ground that the
agistration books were opened on
Monday, instead Of on Tuesday, the
state board of canvassers at meeting
called for the purpose Of considering
the matter, reverses the Edgefeld
board, on the ground that "the record
submitted fails to show that any of
the voters registered 80 days before
the election voted or attempted to vote
or that if any such did vote the result
would not have been affected. From
these findings Of fact it is unnecessary
for the board to consider any other
matter" The state boards action was
unanimous. Edgefield was represent
ed only by letter. The Abbeville re-
turns have been received and the
Greenwood returns are expected In to-
morrow.

GOV. HEYwARD OUT OF POLITICS.
Announces His Determination Not to
Run for United States Senator.

Columbia, Jan. 16.-It has been
pretty generally supposed that Gov
ernor Hayward would continue in pol
iitics after completing his second term
as governor. It has even been proph-
esied by many that he should have a
third term, but it was seriously
thought that he would aspire to the
United States senate, either opposing
Tillman next year or Latimer two
years later. Tonight, however, the
governor, when questioned, an
nounced that he had definitely deter
mined not to remain in politics after
serving the second term.
He declared his determination to
retire; says his ambition was to be
governor and serve his people; that
nothing else tempts him.
This announcement will be relief
to some and will disappoint others.
Governor Hayward is considered the
only man in the state whom Senator
Tilman need fear.
