Canada Raises Railway Rates.

Baltimore Sun.
 The Governor of Canada, after oper- ating the Intercolonial Railway for years at a loss. has just announced an increase of rates all along the line, to the disgust of persons who imagine Government ownership means lower rates. In 1904 every dollar of earnings cost S1.14 in operating and mninten- ance expenses alone, with no interest to pay on an $S0.000,006 investment Naturally the taxpayers complain and make it lively for the ministry who find 1t impossible to run the railway so as to please everybody. On the other hand, persons living along the Intercolonial are also denouncing the Government for increasing freight charges. Referring to the experience of railways in the United States, The Railway Age observes that even with the rates which are declared to be eX
 cessive a majority of the railways in this country have been bankrupted; a fractional decrease in rates--so small as not to be felt by shipper or con sumer-applied to the principal articles of freight might bankrupt many roads now. If Government owned the roads. sweeping reductions would be demand ed by every locality and interest, and when the earnings got below expenses the experiences of Canada. with It's unprofitable railway, would probably be repeated. on a vastly greater scale"

MT. Minnihett Ha. an Appetite.

William Minnihett of Kentwood, La, and various other places. who brought the city of Montgomery the price of ticket to some point beyond the line of the State of Alabama yesterday.
 yer, of which Mir Minnihett consider ateiy and with malice aforethought acted in the role of common carrier TOT MT MonfEHmesy Minnihett is the sole and only person within the bounds of Montgom- cry County who has been bitten by a stegomyia, or however you spell 1t, person that said unspellabie mosquito had any effect on.
 He is at present located about three Rnown ss fSG% Sno memsera the ets coun ordinary mortais as the pest house.
 The particular gentleman in aues5,cn an said yellow fever. in fact, the fever has left him. He spends his time sit ting behind mosquito bar. crying. for wrecked eggs. Yesterday his nurse left him for few moments to prepare his dinner. MT. Minnihett is a smart young in his existence, for which he will long be remembered in Montgomery. Yes terday he attempted to disprove the theory of physicians that man wno yellow fever can show Jim Jeffries up on the strong man line.
 When MT. Minnihetts nurse began preparing chicken as fried in the coun- try and shipwrecked eggs. MT. Minni- hett noticed that he had a thirst for water.
 Strange" murmured MT. Minnihett: q never knew this to happen before" But still the thirst was there and the water bucket was on the other side of the room.
 The doctors had advised him that vel low fever patients are not equal to the task of walking from Maine to Mexico, but MT. Minnihett had an idea that he was the walking kid.' He arose on his legs and started for the bucket. He got no further than the start. His legs acted strangely and he went down in a bunch. He stopped crying for chicken as fried in the country and ship wrecked eggs and changed his tune to an appeal for somebody to pick him up.
 Help arrived, and MT. Minnihett was again put in bed. He didn't forget to eat the chicken fried in the country. nor the shipwrecked eggs.

The First Bale.

Editor The Advertiser:
 notice a piece in your paper writ ten by some one who doesn't sign his name claiming for Mr. Carter the credit for the first bale of cotton here this year.
 I desire to ask this gentleman, who- ever he may be. for definition of the term or expression bale of cotton
 As I understand it. 1t takes 800 pounds of lint cotton ginned, packed and wrapped to make a bale of cotton. If 41o pounds of cotton in the seed, neither ginned, packed nor wrapped constitute a bale of cotton, then, sir, I submit to you that MT. Carter has the first bale; otherwise, the credit Is due to MT. Moses McLemore, who picked out his bale of 543 pounds after ? o'clock Thursday evening. August g., had 1t ginned in twenty minutes, brought to Montgomery at 10 o'clock Thursday night and sold at auction to Marks & Gayle for IS IA cents per pound August 4, at 10 o'clock, before Mir. Carter even had enough seed cot ton to gin a bale and while that which he did have was still in the seed. Now, I submit to your honor that Mir. Carter deserves credit for the good effort he has made, but Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars" and unto him honor to whom honor is due.

EVERY WHITE MAN

Under the Amendment
EVERY WHITE MAN

This is assured by the second
section of the Amendment, which
reads as follows:
"a person tehO on the first day
Of January, 1869, or prior thereto,
cds entitled to rote under the larS
Of this State, or Of any other State
1cherein he then resided; or any
Hneal male descendant o such last
named persons acho may be Fl years
Of age or Orer in the gear 1906"
The above. means: That if
you 'cere too young to be entitled
to register in 1869, but your father
was entitled TO be registered that
year you can register without any
questions being asked; and ifyour
father was not old enough to be
entitled to register in 1869 but
your grandfather was, then you
and your father come under the
same ruling, and both will he en-
titled to register without question.

DEMOCRATIC COMMENT
What the Party Papers Have
to Say About Mr.. Rayner.

Ellicott City Times Dem. J
THE Junior Senator for this
State, the Hon. Isidor Rayner,
in q long statement defines his
status on the amendment, aud
We believe no true Democrat will
agree with him IN either the pc.
sition he takes or in the conclu-
sions he draws.
"The very argument he uses
now he could have used for the
benefit of his fellow Democrats
dnriDg the last session Of the
Legisl ature, at which he knew an
amendment of the same tenor, if
not in the exact words, but in
exact meaning, would be passed.
Against this he did not raise his
voice then, nor since TO our knowl-
edge. Fellow ocrats We
should remember Mr.. Rayner then
wanted the votes Of his fellow.
Democrats in the Legislature to
elect him to the United States
Senate. so he kept quiet.
"a good man always stands
by his friends. Any other kind
of man is not only dangerous as
an adviser, but especially SO as
a leader. Feeling our party
friends will take this view of the
matter, it seems to us Mr.. Ray.
ner's views at this time should
and will have very little weight
in deciding the questions before
the people.
"There is only one feature OF
Mr.. Rayner's statement we really
think Is worth controverting.
This is his claim that the amend
ment puts our foreign born citi.
zen on the level with the Hitter
ate negro. Every white man
knows that it is not so, and also
knows that no foreign white citi
zen need have any fear of the
Democratic party desiring to
exclude him from the right OF
franchise, for the reason that
ever since its formation it has
been the party that our foreign
population has attached itself to.
and today a large proportion OF
the Democratic party is made up
of foreigners or their lineal de-.
scendants. as provided for in the
amendment, and it is = foregone
conclusion that it will not turn
against its own members or their
friends"

KIND WORDS.

AS the breath of dew on the
tender plant, they fall gently up
on the dropping heart, refreshing
its withered tendrils and soothing
its burning woes. Bright GASES
they are in life's greatest desert.
Who can estimate the pangs they
have allevisted, or the good works
they have accomplished
Long after they are uttered do
they reverberate in the SOULS in
ner chamber and sing low, sweet,
liquid strains, that quell all the
raging storms that may have be
fore existed. And, oh, when the
heart is sad, and like a broken
harp the sweetest chords of pleas
uTe cease to vibrate, who can tell
the power of one kind wordi One
little word of tenderness gushing
in upon the soul will sweep the
long neglected chords, and awaken
the most pleasant strains.

THE HOME.

Whatever may be said of

it is in the home that she exerts

IN which she may take part is not
questioned. If she must support
herself. or if there are others de-
pendent upon her, we think she
has the right to select a vocation
or a profession, but it is in the
home that she displays her powers
to the best advantage.
