The pro- posed line would be twenty-five or thirty miles long, and would make traffic between the two places, swift and direct, As' the route would cross the Cahaba River. the facilities for providing electric power would be ample.

SOUTHERN PROGRESS.
Increase of 70 Per Cent in Bank
 Deposits.

Increase of 70 Per Cent in Bank Deposits.
 Editor The Advertiser:
 It has been shown to the full satis- faction of every observant person that the people of the North have no use
 for the people of the South except
 money. The newspapers take up
 violations of the law committed In the
 South and magnify them to the great
 es textent possible to our disadvantage.
 while the same acts committed under
 their own noses are unnoticed If
 they cannot find something founded on fact which they can use to insult us they will appeal to their fertile imagi- nations and bring fort hsome falsehood of the whole cloth and use it in an effort to dishonor us. They have used
 every power they possess, including
 the great money power, and the power
 of ignorant prejudice, to prevent the people of the South taking any part
 in making laws for the government of our country.
 I would not encourage any one to chersh any animosity toward any per-
 son or section because exercising such a spirit has tendency to lower our citizenship. But, I do believe that
 exercising a spirit of self-respect and
 independence will elevate any people. We cannot assert our political inde- pendence, but I believe the time Is
 near by, if not already come, when we can assert our financial independence,
 and common decency demands that we
 do it.
 I believe the South the greatest country on this earth. Her natural
 resources, and the arrangement. or the
 disposition of them. are unequaled in
 the world. In the future we need
 have no fears that we will not be able want to develop our resources and carry forward our enterprises Our cotton, iron, coal and the products of
 our factories will bring us all the
 money we shall need.
 We have some of the finest 'harbors
 In the world, and all the goods inn
 ported and exported should pass
 through our own ports that we may
 keep the money spent in handling them
 in our own section. Suppose we ex- port one-third of our cotton-4, ,o0O. .o0O
 bales-and 1t should cost $1 for ware house and shipping charges. On this one item we would keep $4,000,000 here
 If we would export all of it from our
 roads are looking forward to this State of affairs, for ] read that all the trunk
 lines are trying to get to deep water In the South.
 greatest opportunity we will ever have to bring about this condition of af- fairs in the movement now being made to effect an organization which shall
 embrace all the Southern farmers and | business men of every calling, and every encouragement possible should be given to the movement by every person because the interests of all our people are involved.
 AS an evidence of the trend of the
 money tide I append two tables com piled from the last report of the Comp l troller of the Currency which bring out

 Everett p Wheeler in New York Times.
 You state today that the late Will liam Weightman left an estate valued at $6O,000,000. This is the same manu- facturer who appeared before the Tar in Commission twenty four years ago and declared that unless he could get a protective duty on quininc it would destroy his business. Fortunately, we were able to keep that necessary artt- cle on the free list. and Weightman, notwithstanding, went on and pros pered in his manufacturing, and was able to pay his workmen good wages
 The position of the steel industry in this country at present is exactly the same. The present tariff on iron and steel is entirely needless to enable the Steel Corporation, the richest private corporation in the world. to compete with European markets. The time cannot be far distant when the Amer ican people will see this, and will re- fuse any longer to be taxed in order to enable that great corporation to tax the American consumer.

Friend of Reporters.

T have a kindly feeling for newspa per reporters, said F. E. Creelman, the spent yesterday in Montgomery. They are persistent. an insistent and a ubiquitous lot, but the business man or the public man should always bear Tn mind that gathering legitimate infor- nation of interest to the general pub lie Is their business and 1t is business of such a nature that 1t cannot be de-
 Then MT. Creelman, for a man of such affairs, showed a remarkable insight into modern newspaper methods and daily routine.
 T know" he continued, that the editor sends his reporters out to see important men with instructions not to come back unless the men are seen. These drastic instructions are due to the fact that competition is keen among newspapers. The reporter goes to see the important person and if he be an unreasonable man he denies him business of that reporter to dog the footsteps of the important one until he gets him in the buttonhole. If the cannot see the man he will, in some cases, go back to his office and write something about the man and maybe make him ridiculous.
 Tt is good policy to see the reporter
 and talk with him frankly, especially ness transactions. If he cannot get facts, he is liable to write reports, and
 reports might be damaging to your in- terests."
 Mir Creelman had just come up from New Orleans, where he transacted some important business, and his eyes twin
 kled as he spoke of the avldity with which the newspaper reporters of the Crescent City gathered every line of
 information he had to give to the pub lie.

NOT ENTITLED TO SYMPATHY.

New that Mrs. Chadwick has been con- vieted We maytnaturally expect a great many expressions of sympathy and con or an appeal There will be plenty to say that she Is not the only one who deserves punishment, and to a certain extent they will be right. It would have been impossible for ner to con sufnmate her nefarious schemes, and to perpetrate such gigantic swindles with out the connivance. active or passive of the bankers and other moneyed men from and through whom she received the money. To that extent she is not the only guilty one. and if some others were made to suffer along with her it might be a good lesson, both for them and for others.
 But when all this is admitted 1t does not in any degree free her from the blackness of her crimes and for the shame she has brought on American womanhood. Rightly or wrongly, mankind is inclined to fix different standards of honesty for man and wo- man, or at least to expect higher and better things of women than they do of men. We are so accustomed in this day to male swindlers, confidence men, grafters and other criminals that we when we hear or read of their opera tions We naturally expect something better of womankind and feel more keenly their lapses from the right path. And this Is why the Chadwick woman is entitled to little sympathy. and 1t Is probably why The\ Brooklyn Eagle thus bitterly criticises \ ter;
 It is now quite in order to say a few things about this woman, quite apart from her criminal career. She is and long has been simply fraud. Her claim of intelligence, her claim of ill., ness. her asservation of affection for her kindred and others, have been as fraudulent as her checks and notes of hand. The first test showed that what was held to be intelligence was only assurance or impudence. Her repeated declaration of illness has been found by physicians to be false Her husband and her sisters have justified their in- difference to her fate, since she has brought to them only modification and shame. Her husband, who seems to be a credulous scholar, has reason to be- iieve that a conjugal predecessor of his is neither dead nor divorced. Her sisters have shown that their honest living has borne no relations to her career of crime. Her son was used by her as. a messenger to secrete the avails of her crime and hls alleged interest in her have been more attributable to the activity of yellow journalism than to any evidence he has shown by his acts. It is certain that she was long ago put in jail for swindling and served out a long sentence, only to as- sume a false name and to begin an- other career of crime, when released. She is physically strong. mentally cun= hing and morally shameless.
