Atlanta Man Talks,

This Is my first visit to Birmingham in several years" said l.. l.. Parham of At- lanta, and it not too much to say that the thrift and growth of your city is won derful. It is evidenced in your broad. well-paved streets. substantial business houses and the fact that everybody seems busy.
 There is no doubt Birmingham has a great future and it looms up on the horizon. Still, it Is possible that many of the citizens do not just quite appre- ciate it. Although houses for residence and business are going up on every hand there are always a few persons in every community who doubt if they will be oc- cupied. You may not, however, have such persons here in any great number. Some day in the near future the pessimists will wake up to find that Birmingham has got past them and they are in the rear ranks. I am particularly pleased with the Birmingham people, all of whom that I've met are cordial and communicative. Again, you have one of the finest street railway systems that I've found any where south.
 There is an air of thrift about Bir- mingham that Is much remarked. With their own homes and good schools. Bir- mingham is certainly on the high road to 100000 population in very short time

NOW l LAY ME.

Unidentified. (Found in the knapsack of soldier of the Civil war after he had been slain in battle)
 Near the campfre's fickering light
 In my blanket bed I lie. Gazing through the shades of night And the twinkling stars on high; Ger me spirits in the air
 Silent vigis seem to keep As I breathe my chldhoods prayer,
 Now I lay me down to sleep" Sadly sings the whip-poor-will
 In the boughs of wonder tree; Laughingly the dancing rll
 Swells the midnight melody.s Foemen may be lurking near
 In the canon dark and deep; Low I breathe in Jesus ear:
 'I pray Thee. Lord. my soul to keep Mid those stars one face I see
 One the Savior turned away Mother who in infancy
 Taught my baby lips to pray: Her sweet spirit hovers near
 In this lonely mountain brake. Take me to her. Savior dear.
 If should die before I wake" Fainter grows the fiickering light
 As each en,ber slowly dies: Plaintively the birds of night
 Fill the air with sad'ning cries; Over me they seem to cry:
 ''you may never more awake Low .lisr: ''If should die
 I pray Thee. Lord. my soul to take Now lay me down to sleep; I pray Thee. Lord. my soul to keep. If should die before wake. pray Thee. Lord. my soul to take.

Death of a Good Man.

Samuel Warren Rawlins, who is dead in New Orleans" said well-known citi- zen yesterday. Formerly lived in this state, at Florence. where he was 8 clerk in a store. He was S7 years old at the time of his death
 MT. Rawllns was one. of the founders of the New Orleans Cotton exchange, and his long bushes career was spent in the cotton trade His firm has latterly been known as S. W. Rawlins & Son. It does a large business, and is widely known.
 The war swept away MT. Rawins' fortune, but after it was ended he went at work to make another, and succeeded. He was meh of sound judgment, and of unswerving integrity. He punctually kept his contracts and promises, and he expected as much in return.
 ''He had summer home at Waveland, on the gulf coast. and 1t was there he suf- fered paralytic stroke. He never ral- lied. and death soon followed. All his life long he held on to the Baptist church, and he was a practical Christian"

State and National Quarantines.

Senator Money of Mississippi is the first prominent man to announce oppo- sition to federal quarantine altogether. He wants none of 1t. He& &wants uni form state quarantines and an uni formity of enforcement. Uniformity of action among the states Is dream, myth. It never did exist, and it never will. Ports have differing com mercial schemes, and states have leg islatures that cannot be induced to conform to any standard. And so far as enforcement of state and local quarantines is concerned, all know 1t is simply incapable of realization in any respect.
 Governor Vardaman of Mississippi, on the other hand, cones out of . tough conflict with the yellow scourge to say that the federal government should have absolute control at the national boundaries to prevent the in troduction of disease, for "the sea be- longs to it, and it is the only power that can give protection"
 The Vardaman plan is very reason able and conservative, and it is diff cult to see how any one can object to it's adoption.
 It would, however, be best to go a step beyond the Vardaman programme, for interstate auarantines are often unjust, sometimes dictated by local in terests and always demoralizing to all branches of trade. Interstate quaran- tines should be placed In the hands of the federal authorities, for in sucn hands they would be freed from all par. tlaity all favoritism, all eccentricity, all injustice.
 There would still be ample room for state quarantines in the control and supervision of health matters within the state, aided perhaps by local quar- antines. No national quarantine bill can take away the rights of a state within the states bounds, and no one proposes to do anything of that sort. The state should control and must con trol interstate health matters, while the general government should as- sume control of international and in- terstate quarantines. The line can readily be drawn, leaving the doctrine of states rights to stand unimpaired

Withdrawing Russian Troops.

The withdrawal of the armies from Manchuria has been begun, and a good many soldiers will not have to spend another winter in it's harsh climate. Both armies will be withdrawn as speedily as single-track railroads will permit
 The Russian camps are full of cases of typhoid fever and other diseases, and the soldiers are heartily sick of a service in which they saw defeat after defeat. It has been stated that Russia dreads the homecoming of her sol diers, lest they swell the ranks of her radicals and revolutionists, but men who served in the recent war will be glad to get away from the trenches and the cellars of the deadly lines so glad that they will not rush into internal strife. No doubt the army has been a great school, and every soldier will come home ready to put all the blame on the bureaucrats and the official class in general. The army does not differ from the navy in that respect. but the soldiers from Man churia will not at once go out to hunt trouble.
 Under the terms of the treaty the two armies have eighteen months in
 which to get out of Manchuria, but the chances are that single year win suffice. The task is heavy one. but 1t will be conducted free from the
 stress of hurry of war. The journey hack to southern Russia is long one, and a regiment that makes it in less than a months time will do well in deed.
 The treaty does not compel the Japanese to leave Corea, and lt is r'l- | mored that large Japanese army will stay there throughout another year. The regeneration of Corea is her culean operation, and the closest ob- servers say it will cover an entire | generation at least. Thee is 10th | ing good in the Corean government,
 and every feature of it will be re- modelled, no doubt. by the Japanese.

Federal Banking in Pittsburq.

Banks often fail, but Pittsburg pre- sents the rare failure of a bank that held $1,O30,000 of the states money. Governor Pennypacker naturally ap- peals in such rare case to the Pres ident to see that complete and care ful investigation of the closed bank is made.
 The bank in question, the Enterprise National bank, was located not in Pittsburg, but in Alleghany, a suburb of the iron city. It was surrounded by small tradesmen and by laborers, with some mechanics here and there, in an uninviting neighborhood. And yet this out-of-the-way bank was made A depository for state funds in 1898, and when it failed it held over mil lion dollars belonging to the people of Pennsylvania.
 Thereby hangs tale. In order to get the states funds it became neces- sary to carry political" paper without endorsement. Cashier Clark was will ing to do this. It led to his undoing, and finally to his suicide. The bank became loaded with political" paper, and Clark himself was drawn into hazardous speculations, and the result became inevitable.
 The effort to finance railroad in New Mexico brought the bank to the verge of a crash, and after Clark , suicide the president of the bank, an old man, declared in public that the republican state ring is responsible for the downfall of this man and this bank"
 The effect of the failure upon the Pennsylvania election will be consid erable The only state officer to be elected is State treasurer, and MT Hummer. the republican n nominee. is

Senatsr Germans campaian.

Senator German is leading the move ment in Maryland to eliminate the ne- gro vote. The Poe amendment, which he champions, contains the grand father clause. All who were entitled to vote in 1869 and all their descend ants would be entitled to the suffrage under the amendment. Otherwise a person must be able to read the con stitution to the satisfaction of the election board in his precinct before he can be registered or can vote.
 The trouble with the Poe amend ment is that it jeodards the electoral rights of about 3O,OOO foreigners or persons of foreign parentage. The foreign-born white voters threaten to come to the aid of the republicans, who, under the leadership of Secretary Bonaparte, are fighting the amend ment. Senator Rayner Is also a pro- nounced opponent of the Poe amend ment. He has taken the stump against it, and he is very formidable as speaker before the people.
 Senator German has an uphill fight, but he is a man of great skill and re- sources. and no one will know where the amendment stands until the votes are counted. The result will not turn so much upon Senator Rayner's action as 1t will upon that of the foreign-born voters ahd the sons of foreign immi- grants in the last thirty-six years in Baltimore a city full of such people. They can defeat the amendment, but it is by no means clear that they will vote solidly against the Poe amend ment.

Association Work.

The railroad men of the Queen and a railroad department of the Young Mems Christian association will on November 1, assume the management of the Babahatchie Inn, at Oakdale, Tenn.," said an association worker
 "A secretary has already been employed and as soon as some necessary changes can be made in the building he will have charge of affairs. The hotel will be run by the association and arrangements will be made to accommodate all the railroad men as well the travelling public The building will be thoroughly renovated, many new attractions will be added and the railroad men will have a home of which they will have reason to feel proud
 Whether it be considered an expression of the general prevailing altruistic spirit, a manifestation of the American eager ness for self-help or an evidence of the vitality of the religious forces of our times, the railroad branch of the Y. M. c. A. is worthy of our attention and study. Althoughsit has been but 33 years since the first railroad association was organized in the United States, there are now POT local association departments and branches with a membership or near ly 75,000.
 During the past year, ten Railroad as- sociations have been organized in build ings valued at $1S0,SO0 The railroad em- ployes and individual friends of the move ment have given freely and more than 80 per cent of the railroad companies have spent money to help build these magni- ficent buildings along the railroads throughout the country. Such buildings are always erected in cities or small towns where the men must lay over so it affords them an inviting and attractive home where he can get a bath, a meal of substantial food at reasonable price, q nice clean bed fin which to sleep and plenty of games, books, magazines and music to attract and entertain them after they have had their rest. Social
 religious and physical work is constant ly being done. While on the road many times the men stop in places where ac- communications cannot be found The
 Young Mems Christian association is be- ing organized in many such places and is
 becoming very popular with the men.
 'The Twelfth International Conference
 of Railroad Department of Young Men S
 Christian association was held in Detroit.
 Mich, September 2S, October 1. 1905. In
 this great gathering of more than a thousand railroad men from Mexico.
 Canada and the United States of America
 1t was clear to be seen that the Y. NJ C..
 A. has been great blessing to railroad men,"
