AIabama's Battle FLAGS.

After forty years of peace and more

ceremony and almost without notice
to their respective states. Thirteen
Alabama flags were thus returned, and

Secretary Of War Taft has, how
ever, written to Governor Jelks that
the thirteen flags sent by express are
all the Alabama flags in the possession
of the federal government that can be
Identified. The government holds a
considerable number that cannot he

battle-fags were captured and placed
in the federal war office without facts
or means of identification is not
known
Fortunate is it that some of our rel
les of war are at home at last. Here
we have a department of archives and
history that will take good care of the
old flags, and no one who visits the

any particular flag and it's entire his

fraud and pretense." He goes on 10
say that he has lived in Memphis
thirty years, and "is not familiar with
two men who have met successfully
and shot at each other in duel. There
have been many quarrels in that time
and quite a few challenges sent and
accepted without any shooting at one
another. The south has outgrown It;
much more now than ten years ago;
more ten years ago than twenty years
ago. Somebody always stops it. Hence
it takes on too much the appearance
of the opera bouffe heroics."

Boil Weevil Territory.

recent report of the Agricultural
Department shows that in 1904 the
boil weevils spread themselves over
100000 additional acres, bringing the
t. tai of infected territory up to 80 per
cent of the entire cotton acreage of
the untry.
But the work of the insect last year
goes to show that it hesitates when
facing northward while it does not
hesitate at all wher 1t faces eastward
on a like parallel of latitude. 1t Is
ready to cross the Red river in Louis
lana, but it does not seem to desire to
cross that river in the Indian Terri
tory. Possibly the northward spread
of the insect has been pretty we'll de-
termined, for during the year 1904 the
northern bound of the infested terri
tory was not materially extended.
But the insect moved eastward dur
ing the year about fifty miles. 1t
crossed Red river at Lockwood, Grand
Ecore and Shreveport. In Louisiana
the greater portions of six parishes
are now infested, while in three other
parishes the insects are found in GER
tain localities,
The experience OF 1904 seems to In
dicate that the Tennessee valley in
this state will not be seriously in
tested by the weeyils in their march
to the Atlantic ocean, but that the
lower two-thirds of the state will be.
If the weevils do not cross this year
the Red river in the Indian territory,
it is reasonably certain that they will
not infest northern Mississippi or
northern Alabama. But nothing can
stay their course eastward, and farm
ers cannot begin too soon to plant
other crops in all parts of Alabama
south of the Tennessee valley--cer-
tainly south of the mineral district OF
this state.

Rural School Houses.

The Alabama Federation of Women
Clubs has taken hold of the movement
looking to better rural school houses.
At present such school houses are as
a rule unsightly. uncomfortable and
unsanitary, not TO mention other 'uns"
that fit them. Some traveller in Ala
bama wrote that he always looked for
the poorest shack" in a community
when he desired to see the public
school house.
In the absence of local taxation, now
prohibited by the constitution of 1901,
the women of the federation appeal
to the women of each and every rural
school district in this state to organ
ize school improvement associations
The object of such an association is
school betterment in its neighbor-
hood, and in most cases this will be
found to consist in the building and
furnishing of a better school house.
Mrs. James L. McConaughy of Monte
vallo is the secretary of the commit
tee of the federation, and she has
plans for improved school houses, and
she also has form for a constitution
and bylaws of Improvement associa-
~
trict would meet and select one of
their number to write to Mrs Nc
Conaughy, that district would soon
have an improvement association, and
after a while perhaps a school house
That is not unsightly, uncomfortable
or unsanitary.

ROckefeIIer's Gift for Missions.

The American board of commission
ers for missions states that it in no
manner solicited the gift of 100000
from John D. Rockefeller. Secretary
Parton Says the gift was spontaneous,
no one from the American board hav.
ing urged him to it.
This puts the gift on its merits, and
ly discussed by churchmen, and by
sinners even of the Wall street sort.
DIR. Washington GLADDEN. voices the
sentiment of the extremists who would
not touch the gift with a forty.foot
pole, While the Wall street folks think
the subject should be investigated
without prejudice, all rumors having
been discarded
1t is plain, however, that great
many condolences are seriously dis
turbed thereat, and that DR.. GLADDEN.
has expressed a wide sentiment. He
says in substance that If the Ameri-
can board accepts Rockefeller money
it thereby endorses Rockefeller busi-
ness methods, for it was through those
methods that the money was collected
from the people. 1t is difficult to get
around DR.. Gladden's logic, and the
board of missions will certainly have
to decide whether the proffered gift is
the fruit of honest toll or is the out
come of corporate greed and indie
feasible schemes for plundering the
masses.
The board must face the music and
its action as to the gift is anticipated
with interest. If highway robber
should offer The board of missions 10
per cent of his booty, the facts having
been made known, the board would
not accept his gift, and it remains to
be seen what it will do In relation TO
the Rockefeller gift.

tournament this year for the asking. The
tournament will be held in May, and so
far the committee has not received any
tournament Gadsden entertained tho
firemen five years ago in a swell manner
and the firemen all want to come back
again. 1t is very likely that the citizens
will take the matter up and raise suffi-

and have the tournament here.

CARNEGIE EXTENDS AID.

A NATIONS STRENGTH.

BY Emerson.
What builds nations pillars high
and its foundations strong?
What makes 1t mighty to defy
The foes that round II throng?
1t Is not gold. It's kingdoms grand
Go down in battles shock;
It's shafts are laid on sinking sand
Not on abiding rock.
Is 1t the sword? Ask the red dust
or empires passed away;
The blood has turned their stones to rust,
Their glory to decay.
And is 1t pride? Ali that bright crown
Has seemed to nations sweet:
But God has struck its luster down
In ashes at His feet.
Not gold. but only man, can make
A people great and strong;
Men who. for truth and honor's sake.
Stand fast and suffer long.
Brave men who work while others sleep,
Who dare while others 1y--
They build nations pillars deep
And lift them to the sky.
