The Advertiser a few days ago pub Iished the following extract from The Scientific American:
 Pennsylvania, which makes more than half the iron used in the United States, produces less than per cent of the iron ore mined. Ohio, which comes next to Pennsylvania as an iron maker, mines less than 0.1 per cent. of the total. In both cases the ore Is brought to the fuel; and this is the policy in this country. Only in Ala bama are the ore and fuel found to- gether.
 These are momentous facts and every day goes to prove that the location of iron ore and fuel close together in Ala bama will place the State far in the lead in the manufacture of iron in a very few years. The growth of this State in manufacturing and farming has scarcely commenced.

The One Solution.

The One Solution.
 Equality, Ala. Jan. 14, 1905. Editor The Advertiser:
 see a good deal in the papers rela- tive to the low price of cotton and a good many remedies. Now 1 know l am no Solomon. but l venture the sug gestion that there is but, one solution, l. e.. less cotton. Now if our people would be faithful to each other and cut off 25 per cent. we would have fine prices.
 l see some are agreeing to that. Now I was riding with a neighbor who said we were going to reduce our acreage and he was going to plant big crop and make his jack. I fear there are too many going to make their jacks.
 Now the question in my mind Is how are we to make each one be faithful. We all agree that We must reduce acreage but each fellow wants the other fellow to reduce. Let's hear brethren. Yours for reduction,
 James M. Parker.

 January z 1905. Captain James R. Grove. Sheffield. Ala. Dear Sir--In the November, 1904, number of the Confederate Veteran" there is an extract from a letter writ ten by you to The Montgomery Adver- tiser. It relates the death of Noble Devotie, the first victim of the war. Noble Devotie was the founder of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, of which I am a member Your account Is slightly different from that publish ed by the fraternity; and thinking that you may be able to give me some further information I have taken the liberty to write to you about it.
 Our account states that his death occurred on February r., 1861, while yours places 1t as early in January, 1861; our account also states that he went down to the steamer to bid fare well to some friends, while yours says that he was on q mission to Selma and Marion for provisions. Will you kindly inform me whether you are positive about these two points, Any further details about this incident or any other information about Noble Devotie would he very much appreciated by .a
 Yours very truly,

ALABAMA's DEBT.

A man by the name of Mark Sullivan has recently written letter purporting to set forth the present status of the repudiated State bonds." His letter is prompted by the action of South Da- kota ipw bripging suit upon certain North earolipa bonds. Many of his statements may be very valuable, but some of them are certainly misleading and untrue. For instance he says:
 Within thihrty years, ten other Southern States followed Mississippfs S example, borrowed some scores of mill lions of dol1ars; spent the money in public fnpfovements--and then wiped the debt on their books by the simple expedient of refusing to pay.
 It is not possible to state accurately just how many millions there are of these unpaid bonds outstanding. When the State repudiated them. they ceased to carry them on their books. Twenty years agp. the amount charged against each State twas estimated as follows:

MAYALL'S WIFE SUES
FOR MAINTENANCE
Central Theater Leading Man
May Be Involved in Sensa-
tional Legal Difficulties.

The long period of strained relations
that has existed between Mrs. Lulie
Mayall and her husband. Herschel
Mayall.. the leading man at the Cenrtal
Theater. eliminated yesterday in a suit
for maintenance brought against the
leading man.
From time to time. il appears, since
the actual separation of the couple in
April of this year. the actor has sent
his wife $50 a week, and the intention
of the suit, according to the fair plain
tiff's attorneys. Garoutte & Goodwin,
is to force payment of money regularly.
The couple were married in Michigan
on the 26th day of February. 1890. At
that time Mrs Mayall was a successful
ingenue and Mayall was beginning to
make a reputation In the suit for
maintenance, the plaintiff alleges that
hen husbands present income is over
$500 a month and that he owns per-
sonal and real property in st. Paul.
Mimi. exceeding $4,000 in value This
property was in the hands of the az
tors mother, who died a little over a
week ago.
AS an adequate sum, the complaint
asks that 5000 a month be allowed by
the court and sum of $500 as counsel
fees pending the litigation.
The news of the suit came as a sur
prise to the defendant and he says be
will contest the action. Mayan ex-
pressed regret that his wife had taken
such a course, and while not condemn
ing her. he said that the suit w3s un-
timely and iil-advised. For two years
the couple have been living unhappily.
owing to the rumored infatuation o. the
leading man for an actress at present
in the Central Theater stock.
The following suits for divorce were
filed yesterday: William G. Whitman
from Sarah Whitman, alleging descr-
tion; Eva from Nathan Scheeline, fall

PRACTICAL JOKERS SPREAD
STORY THAT HAS NO TRUTT
We1I-Known MendoeinO County Man Is
Made the Innocent Victim of an
Annoying Hoax.

In July last Wilmot B. McFaul Of
Gualala, Mendocino County, a we'll
known rancher. was married in this
city to Miss Olive Hart and immediate
ly thereafter returned to Mendocino
County with his bride, where he has
since resided. From this fact jokers
set in circulation story, entirely de-
void of truth. which has been the
cause Of much annoyance to Mr.. and
Mrs. McFaul The story included a
statement that Mr.. McFaul and his wife
separated after a brief time, in which
period Mrs. McFaul received hand
some gift to the amount of $500 and
also that Mr.. McFaul, coming to the
city, had no person in mind to marry.
but Miss Olive Hart was recommended
to him in joke and he speedily ac-
cepted her and compensated two off,
cials at the City Hall, who suggested
her name. in the sum of 500 each.
This was all untrue. but it innocent
ly found its way into print in several
California papers. This statement corr
rects the error that has been published
that Mr.. McFaul may not be subjected
longer TO annoyance for which no le-
gitimate reason exists.
