The Montgomery papers are still ex- cited over the recent quarantine against that city, now ancient history. If the somebody, 1t should direct it's y'rath at the authorities of its own town m per. mitftng a yellow fever case to enter it's gates and not at Birmingham. But why not move up peg and forget this unpieasantnesS?
 The above appeared in The Birming ham News several days ago by way of comment on a paragraph in The Adver- hser. The late "unpleasantness" is tlosed so far as The Advertiser is con- oerned. but we want to set The News and others right on one or two points. First. then, Montgomery authorities were not derelict in the matter of "a yellow fever case" entering this city. At the time Mlnhinett came to Mont- gomery he had been absent from New Orleans several weeks According to bis statement, he came from a little place in Louisiana and at the time of his arrival here there was no quaran- tine against any point in Louisiana ex- sept New Orleans. He would have been allowed to stop at any place in Ala bama. Next, the complaint here has not been against the policy of quaran- tine upon proper slowing, but against putting up bars in the face of advice to the contrary by the State Board of Health. and on such a slim excuse as that afforded by the one imported case.

The esteemed Ensley Herald has this eo say:
m say:


 Our esteemed friend. The Montgom- cry Advertiser. gives us the following very comforting information:
 some people think 1t would be im- possible to boil less than whole chick en to produce a satisfactory result, and as the invalid can only eat a very small portion, the rest would have to be eaten by other persons-a needless extrava- gance--as half or even a quarter of a fowl can be prepared. and so both monotony and waste can be avoided"
 Now if The Advertiser will just tell us how to keep the unkilled half or three-f0Arths Of the chicken laying, 1t will confer still further benefit on the poor invalid.
 We suspect that The Herald has been guilty of mixing the babies. for we have no recollection of having used the lam guage quoted. The Herald will have to apply to some of the surgeons who are in the habit of carving and repair ing folks to get an answer to its queries.

Montgomery,s Good Water.

'Montgomery." remarked physi:: elan, does not have to come forward periodically with q defense of its water supply or the character of It's water.
 Tt Is quite probable that citizens of Montgomery drink the purest water In the State. To do this, more than Montgomery holds the health record among all of the cities of the South ern States.
 "A little while ago samples of water taken from our Reservoirs and from the Pickett Springs and artesian well at Electric Park were sent to the chemists in New Orleans for analysis. This was done merely as a precaution. The report on these waters, which was published in The Advertiser. showed that the people of Montgomery are drinking the pure article.
 At the same time tests were made of samples of Montgomery milk and samples.
 Tt would be q good thing to do. it seems to me. to advertise our splen- did water more than we do; good water is great indrcement to people who are seeking locations for homes"

Drsappointinx Cotton Crop.

The cotton crop In Middle Alabama will be a distinct disappointment this year," said a well known Montgom- cry County farmer yesterday.
 Tt Is difficult to say just what has affected the cotton prospects. but they have been badly affected in some way. am confident that even the govern ment reports will show that cotton in Alabama has greatly deteriorated in the past month, To begin with the weather throughout the summer. In July, however. the cotton crop seems to have gotten good start and 1t looked as If we were going to get fine crop after all The principal trouble about our crop here in Ala bama Is that 1t has fruited so poorly. The weed in many cases has been large enough, but the fruit has been very disappointing. To add to this misfortune, rust is getting in the crop and much of the fruit Is shedding.

I'm not saving, said Montsom- as to the plans for extending the his- toric old State Capitol but I do say that when the South half of the square Is cleared away and is adorned with trees, shrubs and grasses the grounds of the Capitol will be the prettfest and the most attractive of any State house at least in the South.
 ''The purchase of that property was wise move and should have been done many years ago.
 The opening of the Capitol grounds to Washington street and an entrance on that street will greatly enhance the value of property in that section of Montgomery and will make 1t a much more desirable residence section.
 Whether we get just what all of the people want in the way of an en- larged Capitol remains to be seen but beautiful grounds are assured"

PUBLIC INTEREST.

Progressive leagues, boards oil
trade and organization under diff
ferent names have been organize
in almost every city and town in
the state. These organizations
have become a necessity in every
locality to look after the general
interest, which is no body's bust
ness in particular, and which no
one is inclined to espouse indivi-
dually, without any authority to
act in anything that concern the
general public. 1t is in such ca
ses, on such extraordinary occa-
sions that these organizations be-
come valuable and do the greatest
good.

in repair and to strike the Atcha-

costly bridge. This week We had
occasion to talk about this matter

The Court House question, we

terprising neighbors of Breaux
Bridge have been agitating the
question for several months, it

dollars had been subscribed for
this purpose. We do not blame
these people for their progressive
ness, and we would not have any,
thing to say to them il they would
succeed, because they are after
their own interest; but if they
were to succeed in their effort it
would perhaps be on account of
our lack of organization and of
public spirit.
