Christmas Gifts.

The Babe of Bethlehem grew to be an absolutely unselfish man. In all the wide world he stood as the only altruistic figure in 1t. He lived and worked and died for others.
 That is the essense and spirit of hristmas-altruism. When we cele- brate the birth of Jesus Christ we de- clare that his life on this earth stands in our hearts as ideal--that he Is the type, and that we desire to tread as nearly as we can in his footsteps, to heed his words, to live at times at least as altruistically as he did.
 The more persons We make happy in this Christmas season the better do we commemorate the birth of one who is transforming this world. Step by step his example is spreading from country to country. But we need not look away from home in the Christ mas season. It is our business to make those around us happier-espe cially to bring brightness into lives that know very little of it.
 We should keep in mind the fact that the swapping of gifts does not in the least recall or commemorate the holy Nazarene. We should in this sea son be altruistic, the more so the bet ter. We should seek those who can not send gifts in return. This is what Christmas calls for.

Not In Politics.

Ex-Governor Johnston and w. B. Leedy recently spent day in Memphis, and while there the former chief executive was interviewed by a reporter of the Mem- phis Commercial-A Appeal Among other things Governor Johnston said to the re- porter:
 "The railroad rate issue is the supreme factor In Alabama politics just now. B. B. Conner, president of the incumbent rail road commission, and Dr. R. NJ. Gun ningham, are the opponents fin the guber- material race, and it seems the plum is to fall to the one who proves most ex- treme on the issue"
 The reporter added these words to the direct interview:
 Governor Johnston disclalms any idea of re-entering politics in Alabama. While two senators are to be elected by the next legislature In that state. he is not candidate for either of the offices and is inclined to the opinion that Senators Morgan and Pettus will have no opposl- tion.
 Colonel Leedy and myself are duck hunters" said Governor Johnston. We are to be the guests of Capt. W. B. Nal lory at the Wapanoea club tomorrow, and shooting ducks in good territory and with congenial friends, beats the political game in every respect"

Theatres for the South.

The rivalry that is springing up be- tween the Shuberts and the klaw- Erlanger syndicate is bringing to the soutb chain of new theatres. All companies desire to go to New Orleans and from thence to the Pacific coast or vice versa, and the gaps on each side of the Crescent City are to be 6lled with theatres that will render one-night stands feasible and praetic- able. The Shuberts seem to prefer theatres that let their companies go from the middle west to New Orleans, whereas the present syndicate fayors those that stretch from Washington to the Gulf.
 But as a rule the two syndicates will be rivals all along the line, and this is why new theatres are to be built in birmingham and other southern cities. Each good theatre town is to have a Schubert as well as klaW- -Eflanger playhouse.
 A town that is ignored by either will feel that 1t has been dealt with unjustly. Birmingham is to have, not only a Shubert theatre, but also vau- deville house, and when it has four theatres in blast not to mention a dozen. or more furnaces, 1t will become very gay and chesty
 After all. little amusement now and then is needful, and perhaps four theatres will no more than keep us well relaxed. Rest from toll is a good thing in this busy district, but. of course the remedy should not be over worked We will really have five the atres. for the summer theatre at East Lake should not be left out of the reckoning.

August Better Than April.

Capt Richmond Pearson Hobson wants an April primary. A primary in April may doyetail in his plans, but 1t will not promote the progress of the big class in Alabama that Is en- gagged in studying politics and the great issues of the time. This class is form ed and marshalled but once in two years, and Captain Hobson should not cut short their study period.
 The good work will be all too short if it be extended to August or Septem- Der. Congress will have acted in the meanwhile on rate regulation, perhaps on insurance regulation, and quaran- tine, and the Panama canal, and other subjects, and the situation will be much plainer in August than 1t will be in April.
 But after all, the chief point relates to the discussions that are going on before the people. In every county speakers will soon discuss public ques- tons. state as well as national. The constitution of Alabama sorely needs amendment. We have too many dis qualified white voters, and too little freedom in the development of our pub
 lie schools. Let these questions, and as many more as can be suggested, be discussed and rediscussed until every qualified voter In the state knows where he Is at. He cannot know this in the average in April, but there is hope that by August he will know | just who and what he favors, and will be able to explain the reasons for his preferences. Captain Hobson received liberal education at the expense of the people, and he should not turn aDout to favor shortening of the peoples education to suit his own con- venience.

CooIies in the Rand.

The negroes in the Transvaal are neither numerous nor industrious. and the mine owners of the Rand. acting in accordance with the approval or at least acquiescence of the Balfour government. had imported 4S,000 Chin csc coolies. and have contracted for II 800 more. Premier Sir Henry Camp bell Zimmerman says, however, that he will not stand for that sort of thing.
 It is not known how quickly he pro- poses to stop the importation of Chin csc labor. If he does not interfere with existing contracts it is conceded that the development of the Rand will go on unchecked. for 1t would then have enough labor of one sort or another to produce s1OO,Oo0 900 worth of gold q year.
 The entire question has good deal of politicis in it. In the first place the term of the present English premier may be ended by the general elections to be held next month. In February the first British elections in the Trans vaal will be held, and they may result in a demand for home rule-for the right to control it's own labor supply. It will thus be seen that the situa- tion will be largely political until the elections in the mother land and in the Transvaal are held.
 The native labor in the Rand, wheth- CT 1t be drawn from South Africa, where the yellow men live, or from Central Africa where there are black men only Is not satisfactory, and the employment of coolies has mate rially helped the mine owners. In the Transvaal conflict promises to arise betwesa the imperial government and

liiileracy in AIabams

Bulletin 26 issued by the census bu- rear is full of interesting, although dis tressing, facts and figures. In Alabama there are 2SS illiterate children out of 1000 children between the ages of 10 anA Ii. South Carolina has 295 and Louisiana 32S illiterates per 1000 chi'- drcn. These three states stand al the bottom.
 What our position will be in 191O the next censds year, becomes se- to,4 to drop to the foot of the list, and yet il is reasonaply certain that Louis lana will soon rise above the tailend place, for she has granted the power of unlimited local taxation to every school district within her bounds. This means that her schools will rapidly be bet.ered, and that she, like North Caro. lima, will speedily reduce her propor- tion of iliteracy. The battle for tail end place will then be between Ala bama and South Carolina, and the margin between the two is very mar row
 These facts do not make pleasant reading. but when an election for members of the legislature is coming on it is best to know the truth, the whole truth. There is but one way to escape the disgrace of being the most illiteratc state in the union, and that way is found in a constitutional amendment permitting each school dis trict to tax itself for school purposes as it sees fiji. Why this power was denied by the framers of the consti- tuition of 1901 is something no one at this date and distance can find out. 1ne taxpayers are not children, and whenever or wherever they want bet ter schools they should be permitted to have them.
 Nebraska outranks all the other states in literacy. She has but three children out of 1000 children who can not write. There are sixteen other states that have less than ten illiterate children per 1000.
 It may be said that Alabamas illit- eracy is due to her large negro popu. lation, but this, statement is not sus tained by the official figures, for Ala bama has 153 illiterate white children per 1000. Louisiana has l60 and North Carolina 166 per 1000. It will thus Do
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-12-24

seen that the proportion of white illlt- eracy is higher in North Carolina, Louisiana and Alabama than in the other states.
 Nor should it be said that illiteracy is complaint that prevails in the back districts only. for here in Birmingham there were in the census year 1791 il- literate children between the ages of 10 and IA. Of this large number 1879 were negro children. leaving, however, 412 white children growing Into citi- tenship in an illterate condition.

TENNESSEE COAL AND IRON.
Director Says There May Be No Mer
 ger With Republic for Months.

From the Wall Street Journal
 A director of the Republic Iron and Steel company and the Tennessee Coal and Iron company says there is not likely to be a merger of the two properties for months. The future plans of the Tennessee and Republic are in the hands of c. S. Guthrie, chairman of the board of direc1 tors of the Republic. AS previously stated a holding company will be formed to take over the two companies, but it's capital stock has not even been considered. The director claims the iron ore holdings of the Republic and Tennessee companies ag- gregate between 5OO,0OO,OO0 and COG. 900 tons. The extension plans of the Ten nessee Coal and Iron company are well in hand, and some announcement in this respect Is expected soon.

 Tn Florida. however, 1t did gain a foothold at Pensacola. where it held out until frost came. The state board of health of Florida has just presented its report. and it shows that Florida ex- pended s42, 764 in its campaign against yellow fever this year.
 "Floridas expenditure at Tampa on ac- count of a single case was s210s. The Pen saeola battle cost Florida s29.129 and $11,36S was expended in the rest of the state.
