GratuitOus FalsehOods.


A correspondent of The Chicago
Chronicle the other day said in the
course of letter: Booker Washing
ton stated yesterday that they do not
allow negroes to ride in passenger
trains in the South. but force them to
ride in freight cars" OF course, Book
er Washington said no such thing, be-
cause it is not true. and he is at least
truthful man; but just the same the
statement is being quoted by the radi-
cal newspapers as being true and the
South is coming in for some gratuitous
and lihellous abuse on account OF it.
OF course, being used to that kind of
thing. Southern people don't mind 1t,
but they do wonder why 1t Is that
newspapers-and individuals for that
matter--in the North that pride them
selves on their knowledge and informa-
ton, and make the most heroic profess
sions of fairness in treating all ques-
tions. should give currency to such
faced and potent falsehood as this.
They do not engage in that sort of
Misrepresentation in relation to other
things-why do they lie so about the
negro and his condition?

REMOVAL OF QUARANTINE RE
sTRICTIONs.

With the raising of Alabama's quar-
antine against all Of Louisiana and
Mississippi the yellow fever scare Of
1905 practically passes into history.
We stiu maintain quarantine against
two counties of Florida In one of which
Pensacola is situated. Reports indi-
cate that the epidemic In Pensacola is
nearing its end and let us hope this
will prove true.
The public may feel sure that the
ban against New Orleans and other
hitherto infected points would not
have been raised by Governor Jelks
acting upon the advice of DR.. w. H.
Sanders. state Health oficer. unless all
danger had passed. No more faithful
public service has ever been performed
for the people Of this State than that
Of DR.. Sanders and his able young
lieutenant. Mr. Walter Brassell. They
have fguratively kept their hands on
since its first announcement last sum-
mer. Every hour Of the day and night
DR.. Sanders has been on guard to pro-
tect his people from an invasion Of the
disease. History win reward him for
the successful performance Of duty.
His people already feel deep gratitude
to him for his sacrifices in their inter-
est.
All along DR.. Sanders has been
moved by one thought--to protect Ala
bama from the scourge. He has kept
his department free of imbroglios with
the health departments of other States
By his complete candor and his mani
fest sincerity of purpose. He recon-
mended the lifting of the quarantine
against New Orleans. Louisiana and
the Gulf Coast. Governor Jelks
promptly answered his recommends
tion with action.
DR.. Sanders may have the conscious
ness of duty well performed. He has
earned the everlasting gratitude Of his
people.

Mr.. SEYMOUR FeeIs Eneournged.

President w. H. Seymour, of the Ala
bama Cotton Growers Association.
came to Montgomery yesterday, after a
short visit to Sumter County. He wore
an encouraging smile after noticing the
sharp rise in spot cotton and makes the
prediction that the loyalty of the men,
bers of the Association will bring the
staple to IL cents, the minimum set by
the Ashexille meeting of the Southern
Cotton Association; He points to the
intelligent marketing of the cotton
crop this year all along despite the
rapidity with which the bolls opened
and the cotton was rushed to the gins
Mr. Seymour spoke of the steady
growth in prominence of the great or
ganization of the growers all over the
South, citing instances of enthusiasm
in the holding movement at a number
of points and in many counties of the
state. He commended profusely the
good work done by the Montgomery
County growers and he may be able to
let his name be put down on the pro-
gram for the next meeting of the AS
sociation of this county which will be
held next Friday in the Court House.
Then Congressman A. A Wiley and
others will address the meeting. his re-
