 T think I can recall that when was last here the county courthouse was situated on what you now call Court Square. Now, your streets arc paved, you have fine buildings and Montgomery seems to be pushing Bir. mingham.

ENGINEERS AT IoDDs.
Differ as to Advisability of Lock or Sc

Differ as to Advisability of Lock or Sea
 Level Canal.
 Washington, Nov. 15.-The full board of consulting engineers of the Panama Canal had an all day session today and continued to work upon the different types of canal
 Only rumors reach persons outside of meeting room and they vary as to the prospects of the final report The pros poets today, 1t was said, indicated that several reports might be made, one fa- voripg a sea level canal and for lock canal at a sixty foot level and still an- other for lock canal at thirty or forty foot level. There seems to be general impression that a large number of en- gineers at present favor a sea level ca nal. but an intimation has been made that there might be a compromise upon low level lock canal, which would be very satisfactory to the Canal Conn., mission and the administration.
 The officers who accompanied Secre- tary Taft to Panama to investigate the matter of Notifications for the canal have not yet made a report and will not until a type of canal is determined.
 Upon the type of canal will depend the location of the mouths of the canal and no definite plans for fortifications will be feasible until the places where the protection will be needed can be definitely known.

.CIvIL WAR AND RECONSTRUCTION
 IN ALABAMA.v

Matters of history, which, form part of d most interesting and thrilling pe- riod in the life of a State and its peo- pie should be recorded in permanent form. No work touching Alabama is more valuable than one of the above title by Professor William L. Fleming. Ph D., Professor of History in West Virginia University. It has just been published by the Macmillan Company and comes up to all that has been promised for it. The aim of the author has been Q study of the political. social and economic effects of the war and reconstruction upon institutions that existed before the war. Emphasis is laid on the influence upon Alabama his- tory of the segregation of the negroes. into the Black Belt and the whites into the white counties. More than any other book. this volume describes the part of the negro-whether active or passive--in the history of a Southern State. Mr. Fleming is native of Ala bama. He was born in Pike County, where his father, a most honored citi- zen. now resides.
 Professor Fleming Is a graduate of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute and while there was an indefatigable stu- dent of history. His book is splendid ly prepared and should take high rank among the Important works of this day and generation. It ought to have very wide sale and especially should 1t be in Alabama libraries and homes.

THE COTTON cnoP.

Even Neill. the leader of the bears does not claim a crop of over 11.5oo, QUO bales of cotton. He goes a million be- yond department estimates, and as far as we know is the. only man of any established record who makes so wild a suggestion. Taking him. however, on his own ground and he admits re- duction from last year of very nearly 2.6oo.ooo bales and he knows that the present crop will not be enough to meet the worlds requirements. There Is no real substantial reason for de- cline in cotton. On the contrary the conditions of trade. the wants of man factures. the orders they have to i'll conspire to force even better prices than are now prevailing. Secretary
 Wilson is out in a statement that the crop will be 1o.ooo.ooo bales. That is about right and that quantity ought to cause better prices than now prevail

A yALuAnLE PRESENT.

Dr. M. L. Fielder. commandant at the Soldiers Home. was in Montgomery yesterday and was expressing his grat- ification and gratitude for the thought fulness of the managers of The Selma Fair. They sent to the Soldiers Home a full car load of splendid agricultural products. The car arrived at Mountain Creek last Tuesday night and it's contents will do a world of good. It is to be hoped that many other contributions will be sent there. Money. food and clothing will all be acceptable. If voluntary con- tributions can help out for awhile, the State will. as soon as the Legislature meets, make ample provision for the helpless veterans. The amount of money in the hands of the commandant for this quarter Is not near enough to meet the demands upon him. No Ala bamian ought to hesitate to come to his rescue. It is our duty to care for the helpless disabled Confederate vet- erans.

A rAKER EXPOSED

There are many ways of making noney. and not all of them are hon. est. Of dishonest ways there are many. and some of them are unique. Of the dishonest and unique ways of making money, Victor J, Mesplou. IS years of age, and a student of Oakland. Cal, High School, perhaps deserves the eeckade.
 Young Mesplou established crime factory in his brain. and disposed of the output to newspapers far removed from the site of the plant. The Ad- vertiser confesses to have patronized the industry. The Advertiser only once placed an order and received the goods, But 1t gladly confesses to the fact that the spurious and not the genuine ar- ficle came to hand.
 The night of october 25th, a tele- graphic query came from Victor J., Mesploa of Oakland. Cal. seeking to as- certain whether The Advertiser desired an account of the murder of a former Montgomerian. Rush 300 words Mont- gomery man murdered" quickly was wired Mesplou at Oakland. It is The. Advertisers policy to publish the news, and the murder of an x-Montgomerian ss news.
 And later on in the night the story arrived. And 1t was an awful story. Thomas F. Turner of Montgomery, Ala, had been murdered by a tramp at Placerville, Cal. His head had been severed with an ax and the body badly matilated. Turner was an iron mould CT. and had been in California a short time only.
 The Advertiser endeavored to find some one who knew Turner in Mont gomery. The local iron workers were interrogated. None remembered Tur- ner. but 1t was entirely possible that he had worked in Montgomery.
 The story was. published in the columns of The Advertiser October 2s. In time, Mesplou's bill came in and was passed to payment. On his state- ment Mesplou had written:
 T had an unusually hard time in getting the facts of this story. When did get them sent them exclusively to The advertiser. hoping to get a better compensation by so doing"
 And Mesplou would have gotten more than space rates had not the Associ- ated Press brought to The Advertiser office the following:
 Oakland, Cal. Nov. l4.-For some time past newspapers located in various parts of the United States have been receiving queries asking whether they wanted specials from Oakland. In every case the items were accounts of crime alleged to have been committed here against some resident of the city, to which the Special" was sent, and on investigation all were proven to be entirely without foundation in fact. Chief of Police Pierson has discovered that the author of these queries is Vie tor Mesplou. an 1S-year-old high school student. He carries cards on which he styles himself Press correspondent and Pacific representative of press syndi- cate"
 It is presumed that Mesplous hard time in getting the facts was due to the necessity of stretching his imagina- &ion in a manner which even to him was extraordinary.

The Washington Star is of the opin- ion that Hearst made throughout the campaign promises that he could not possibly have kept. Fifty-cent gas, B. cent car fares, municipal ownership in c jiffy. the immediate jailing of the grafters. all these things and more he pledged himself not merely to under take. but to accomplish. Perhaps he knew, even though his followers did nof realize. that he could no more have delivered these goods than he could have flown to the moon"
