The Hendersonville, N. C., Hustler of August 31 says:
 Our issue of August 3 contained an account of a wrestling match between MT Pheian Beale, of this city, and Pro- lessor KoizumI. the Japanese expert, young American. It was Greek meet Greek, but the wonderful Japanese art was forced to succumb to the old Amer ican wrestling as final outcome.
 respective countries locked arms again, at the Opera House, Tuesday evening, under the auspices of the Board of Trade. in the presence of q large and representative audience. The bout end ed as before Eve short rounSs s,,, told oi the superior in every respect-not only In physical strength, but in athletic tactics as well, The first feat was ac- complished In three second, and the last one required only moment
 The young American was too quick for the plucky little Jap and the Jiu Jitsu grip failed of the accomplishment claimed Tor 1t. The demonstration of pluck and science was well received and gratifying. He Is, indeed. wonder, and his numerous friends were wild with delight when he put the shoulders of his antagonist to the mat a second time.
 Large parties came from Asheville, Brevard and elsewhere, Hendersonvile's sporting citizens and many ladies made up the audience. MT. Beale was the fa- vorite from the start and everyone is joins in congratulations. He did the business nicely and no suspense was experienced by the audience. A simple touch was seemingly all sufficient for utatlon is saved. Three cheers for Phe- Ian Beale!" ;

There are two sides to every pub lie question which affects the inter ests of the people and very often 1t oc- CUTS through the practice of the un- scrupulous methods of politicians and the thoughtless acquiescence of the press, only one side is presented to the the deception practiced.
 The Reaper would like to see a bold, fearless stand taken by the Alabama press on the present most vital ques- lthe railroad question: and be slow to mount the Conner band wagon until they know where they are going. The people Of this state have already giv- en MT. Conner what he asked for. Now he asks for more. This he said he goal of his ambition and 1t has been granted him.
 But speaking of candor and honesty Of thought and purpose read the edi- torial paragraph below which we clip from the Hartford Journal of the 23d

WHERE DID TREY COME FRoMV

Again we have up the oft discussed query as to what became of the ten lost tribes of Israel. Bible readers do not need to be told that the IsraeIites were scattered during the days of Hosea, and satisfactorily accounted for Whether they amalgamated with their conquer ors and thus became lost" as seperate peoples. or whether they emigrated to unknown lands, are questions that have never been satisfactorily settled.
 The belief that the Indians of North America descended from these disap- bearing Israelites Is one which will not down It has been held by some of the closest observers, and by none more consistently than by James Adalr, who spent about forty years among the h. dian tribes of North America. He stu died their habits, language, customs and traditions more thoroughly than any other has done. Tn hts first book, print ed in 1775. he declares without hesita- tion that the American aborigines are descendants from the Israelites, and further asserted that he found "a per feet and indisputable similitude in each.''
 It would take too much time and space to even sum up the many req sons given by MT. Adair for his conclu- sions. but he goes Into all the details of Indian life. history and tradition and adduces many facts ond opinions to sus- tain his view. Since then a number of observers. among them some of the closest and more intelligent students of anthropology. have written on the sub Ject. endorsing the views and concIu- sions of Adair Among them may be mentioned Edwards. Morse, Boudinot and many others. all of whom give req sons for their belief which are at least strong and well written. Mir. Haines, in his large book. The American In- dian" devotes long chapter to the subject. in which he sets out the many arguments in support of the theory as set forth by the students and in- vestigators who. hafe written on the subject.

Tun sHAMr OF A STATE.

Truly municipal and oficial rotten- ness, mismanagement and general ras- cality knows no latitude nor longitude One of the latest bad smells comes from Vermont and 1t is making the honest portion of the population hold it's nose. Tn many of the departments investisa- tions thus far completed show a most horrible condition of affairs, some crim- Gnal. some disgusting and all of them shameful
 To say that this discreditable condi- tien of affairs Is due to politics will doubtless be charged to Democratic partisanship. but that such is the cause Is tolerably evident. We do not now remember how long the Republicans have held uninterrupted control of the state, but for more than thiEty years Democracy has been little more than a name in that State. The Republicans have had complete sway, and they evi- dently consider themselves safely en- trenched for all time. Republican poli- tics are not highly conducive to honesty in ofnce, but when there Is danger that the opposition may oust them from power and demand an accounting. they are apt to put on a show of honesty even if they do not feel it. When State is for more than generation ab- solutely controlled by Republicans there need be no wonder if its Govern ment becomes rotten from shell to core
 And conditions in the general govern ment are fast gravitatins towards the Vermont stage. They are not yet as bad but if that party should unfortun- Ately maintain itself in, power for g score of years we doubt if even Phiia- delphia could show a more disgraceful record than the Government at Wash ington would. Already the disclosures in high places have been such as to cause all friends of good government to feel ashamed and humiliated. and the longer the Republicans remain ir power the more will they cause good people to blush at the degeneracy that has overtaken the Republic. Vermont is helpless, apparently, but let us hops that the country is not.

PraIsen Mir. Farley.

Why don't you fellows give John Farley some credit for. the fine work
 The speaker was an Alderman of the city of Montgomery and he was speak ing to two newspaper men. He was talking about the good natured. indus trious and persistent chief clerk of the Sanitary Department. .s:
 DO you know I think he has rend- cred invaluable service to Montgomery Since the fever was discovered in New Orleans he has been the busiest official in the city building. To begin with doubled. The new inspectors were green men and had to be instructed in their duties. Their work had to be su- perintenied while they were getting the Chief Clerk had to tabulate their reports as they came in and keep in touch with every spot in the city where condition. Worst of all he had to am swer the phone in the Sanitary Depart ment to give information to thousands of enquirers and he had to reassure and comfort thousands of the timid citizens
 Tn the main he directed the work and 9r the he 3d it n such 9 Wag that gomery is said to be cleaner than at any time during it's history. In super intending in direct,ing, go ,n in a, answering ulating returns and in general all- around industry MT. Farley has stood at his desk for the past month from an early hour until long after night fall.
 'Then came the Minhinnett affair. MT, Farley had complete charge of the care of Minhinnett He carried him ings at the Emergency Hospital in ev- cry possible way. And finally he took charge of the Louisianian and shipped him out of the State,
 You fellows know that he has been one of the most efficient city officials all the time he has been in the city building. And during this recent ex- citement he has been one of the most valuable servants that the people have had. Don't you think he deserves some credit?"
 One of the newspaper men. at least, thought he was entitled to the highest sort of credit. He thought Chief Clerk Farley was entitled to all the nice things that were said about him. As a proof of this. the newspaper man has herein faithfully set down the comp1i- mentary things the Alderman had to say.

suce.aful Farmer of Lowndes.

Mir B. M Hurst. prominent young farmer of Lowndes County, who resides near Letohatchie, spent yesterday in Montgomery and returned to his home In the afternoon, driving the twenty two miles behind a fast horse.
 Mr Hurst Is the typical successful farmer of Middle Alabama. Tn the early days of Birmingham's activity MT Hurst rushed to the great and growing city and spent several years there.
 But" he said yesterday, the green fields and the purring streams of Lowndes kept ealing me until put the town behind and went home to stay. Love of the country Is inherent with me My father located on the place where I am now living forty years ago and we have cultivated it since then. I keep a fast horse and a light buggy and can spend the best part of any day in Montgomery and get home 10 supper. drive the twenty-two miles in about two hours The roads are His eyes sparkled. takes one in a hur- ry Jump in and drive down the road with me"
 Mir, Hurst says there are. diihculties fin the way of cotton growing. but he counts himself fortunate. He has taken exceptionally good care of his
