Duties of the Marshalls.

Harry Marshall Is clerk In my timber Office,
and thoroly competent one. He has nothing
to do with the adjustment Of any thing. He
makes record Of all scale bills after same has
gone to Superintendent Of Logging O'Neil. He
verifes all bills forwarded to me for approval;
handles the checks and certificates of deposit
writes letters for my signature, reporting
amounts to the land and Indian departments.
He has nothing to do with the scale or scalers.
t. AS far as George Marshall is concerned, he
has nothing to do with this office. He submits
no paper here scaling anything else, and
Harry Marshall could not very we'll handle any
such paper when there is none.
I quote again: Mr.. Stuart says Einside facts
are bard to get at, for the reason that logs
are cut today, and tomorrow are on their way
On cars to the mill to be manufactured.''
etc. This is false from to q. Every foot of
timber cut by the Weyerhaeuser people this
season is on the reservation and can be verified
at any time before the ice goes out in the spring.
Every stick cut by them last year the same con-
ditions obtained. {
1t is true that Ed Marshall is my son-in-law,
but he would not be If he had the same utter
disregard for the truth the real author of this
article has. Harry Marshall. Eds brother, is
my clerk. and George Marshall is employed by
the WeyerhaeuSers

admits that the question is a grave one. and much beyond her powers of solution. And like many outsiders this writer is enthusiastic over Booker Washington. pronouncing him the greatest. man among us. and evidently regarding him as somewhat ahead of the original Moses. It Is hardly neces- sary to say that some folks nearer home do not agree with her.
 Like many other foreigners who come among us the writer has much to say about our cities, our streets. our homes and our other social and industrial af- fairs, and she goes for some things without gloves. We have heard that some of the streets and alleys of Lon don are not delectabie. by any means, but this writer leaves the impression that she never saw any objectionable streets and back yards till she landed here. Nor does she spare our many architectural monstrosities which she finds in most cities, or fall to criticise what she evidently looks on as lack of taste in building and planning, both public and private houses. Yet. taken as a whole. the paper is interesting and generally fair.

And Boston has received another fearful jolt Faneuii Hall is to Boston what the Acropolis was to Athens, and now it is stated and proven that old Peter Faneuil. who founded the Hall, was a liquor dealer and a slave trader. Think of 1t! Money made from the vile liquor trafic, tainted" by New England rum, built into the walls of that historic building. Is bad enough. but that isn't the worst. Half cen- tury ago. and earlier. Faneuil was daily and nightly resounding with the thun- derous denunciations Of the extremist aboIitionists who fourtshed nowhere else as they did in Massachusetts. And yet the bricks and the stones and the mortar of the building were coined, as 1t were, from the groans and the tears and the blood and various other con- comitants of human slavery. Cant Boston fumigate Faneuil? Can't she get together a convocation of long haired men and short-haired women to chase the spectre of liquor and niggers from the consecrated building? Where are the daughters and sons and other descendants of those who gave their time and wind tc denunciatien of slav- cry? Something must be did, doed or done or Boston is shamed.

CorpuIence and sanity.

London World.
 Are the majority of folk of weak in- tellect? Is insanity on the increase? Are we all preparing ourselves for lunatic asylums? These startling questions have occurred to me after reading an article in a medical Journal on the gospel of fat as applied to the treatment of mental disease" It seems that the more you fatten up the mentally afflicted the saner they be- come: but, of course, the difficulty lies in providing the lunatic with adipose tissue, as there Is nothing like brain disease to cause too, too solid flesh to melt.
 The aim of most of us nowadays is to keep down what our transatlantic friends with their genius for using the ugliest word for everything, uncom- promisingly call flesh" We breathe. we massage, we diet we fly to these and those waters. we try all manner of cures, and put ourselves Into various kinds of straps and pastes, and take violent exercise with the al moi thin ming ourselves down and keeping stoutness at bay.
 Does this decided disposition on the part of men and women to avoid cor puIence. and the successful thinning down that we notice on all sides, portend increase of lunacy? If SO, dieting and the taking of waters and massage ought to be forbidden by act of Parliament. By the way. Hamlet was fat and scant of breath. but he was certainly far from sane.

gence of both parties. Hence 1t Is irn- possible to rob this episode of its pub lie character; 1t is equally impossible to believe that either party acted without first considering consequences. This at once raises the question of motives or actuating sentiments: in Wanamaker.
 In the first place. wanamaker may have been actuated by q philanthropie to do all in his power to accord to the negro the place that Wanamaker thinks he deserves->
 from the above. Wanamaker may have been actuated by desire to show to the world his conscious superiority to prejudice against the negro.
 In the third place, Wanamaker may have desired to treat Booker Washing ton, ton, the individual. as he thinks Booker poker calibre. should be treated. regardless of color.
 ference to the ideas of the South and by a. spirit of personal liberty to do as he pleased.
 Here are the four. philanthropy. con- scious superiority to petty .preJudice, recognition of merit in an individual. and supreme indifference.
 possibly In Wanamakers action there was an admixture of all of the above. The South refuses to recognize any one of these four sentiments as sum cient to accord social equality to the negro. ...-.~
 Now for the point of this letter We of the South have an opportunity to teach a lesson. If this letter has dealt fairly with Wanamaker, there Is chance here for the Southern buyer to think about--to think about without malice or vindictlveness, and without raising needlessly political or sectional animos- ity. Wanamaker probably ships yearly to the South millions of dollars worth of goods. In public, he has knowingly done that which shocks the Southern sensibility in no small degree. Credit ing Wanamaker with any or all of the above mentioned motives, can we con tinue to trade with him? Is 1t not pos sible for us to find merchant princes in the North who. even if they feel as Wanamaker does. at least will not vol untarily slap us in the face. or to put 1t more mildly, will not indifferently tread on our toes? Then let Wana- maker sell to his own kind and to his adopted friends in the South The loss of our patronage will not injure him greatly, but it may serve to deter some Northern man of equal prominence from adopting course similar to his, and this Is our lesson.
 Respectfully,

\ MODERN CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL
 FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.

Between the hours of nine and five o'clock tomorrow the qualified voters of this city will have'an opportunity to vote for an issue of bonds for the pur- pose of building a modern Central High School for boys and girls.
 The City Council has asked for the privilege of issuing $75.ooo in bonds. to be devoted to the purchase of lot and tho erection of a suitable building. The Advertiser unhesitatingiy com mends the proposition to the voters of Montgomery.
 The Girls High School on Lawrence Street is no longer adequate to the rapidly increasing demands of that school. and the Boys High School is ill-housed. We are facing a condition which calls for a remedy. Let us tcke no backward step In cur school mat ters. Those in authority state that more room, better facilities and mod ern equipment are demanded. in order that our city may keep abreast with progressive educational methods. The public schools is an index to community life. material and intellectual
 A few years ago we had no boys high school. and four teachers easily did the work in the girls hign school. The corps of teachers In the high school department now numbers eleven, eight being required for the girls and three for the boys. The importance of prop erly providing for this school Is. there fore, very evident. We hope to see. as a result of Mondays election, a cen- trally located high school building, ar ranged for accommodation, in separate classes, of both boys and girls. Such building should be attractive in appear ance, with modern conveniences and equipment, such as chemical labora- tories, space for manual training. lec-
 
 ture hall, etc.
 The building of this high school will accomplish two things, viz; it will meet a pressing demand on the part of high CT education---and 1t will give relief in some of the congested lower grades by allowing the conversion of the pres ent Girls High School building into grammar school The Lawrence Street building would accommodate the over- flow from grammar grades in the cen- traI district for many years--thus avoiding the necessity of constructing other central granJnar schools. which will have to be built at once, If the new high school plan does not succeed.
 Let your vote tomorrow authorize the issue of school bonds that we may go. forward in this important work.

If DeKalb County voters had not been called on to vote on a bond issue for county purposes. at the same time the election for special school tax came off, we believe the school tax would have carried. As 1t was, a good majority voted for the tax, but not the requisite three- fifths. At another time the movement may be successful. At an election in Randolph County few days ago the proposition for local tax was overwhelmingly successful. The honor roll of counties is steadily grow ing.

French Testimony.

Editor The Advertiser:
 According to the report of Drs. Marchoux and Simond of Parts. the stegomyia stings only at night. The testimony of these specialists must have due weight, as they were selected by the French Government from the staff of the Pasteur Institute of Paris and sent to Rio de Janeiro to study yellow fever. They remained in the vicinity of that city for four years making Investigations. Their report Is a valuable and interesting contribution to the mosquito theory of yellow fever. The sting of the infected mosquito is, in their opinion, the only possible source of infection to the human being.

 The county treasury Is in condition this summer that the treasurer can pay all warrants drawn on the treas ury promptly, and no warrants will have to be registered against the county and their payment awaited. The treasury has not been in this com dition for several years, and it reflects much credit on the management of the Board of Revenue that 1t is so.

Retiring Bonds.

The governor can immortalize him self by working off these refunding bonds at a good rate of interest to people inside the State. There Is enough money now idle in the State which is to be kept at interest to take up all the bonds and that would mean the retention of all the interest make itself immensely popular by pro- viding for the State debts rapid ex- tinctfon, say by s250.000 a year for a series of years. That would leave an this be done?

After Blind Tigers.

Blind tigers are having hard time in Perry County since the recent grand jury looked into their workings and returned true bills. Perhaps if the next Dallas County grand jury will be as active, its labors and those of the revenue agents of the United States who recently carried away quite a nice little sum from the county will discourage those short sighted men who are sacrificing the fture of their country and of their children for few dollars.

Need of a White Nnu.

Boss. eff we had CT had some white folks dar, to tell us what to do we wouldn't CT let Tom drown"
 In this way one of Tom Felderrs as- sociates sought to explain why six ne- gro men stood idly by and watched Fielder drown in Catoma Creek. The negroes were seining in the creek a short distance from the bridge on the Selma road. Felder who had one end of the sein started towards the mid dle of the creek but stepped off over his head.
 The six negroes were so paralyzed with horror that none of them made an effective attempt to save the drown ing negro. Fielder sank once, rose again before their eyes, shook his head and went down the second time to come up no more. Although the creek Is narrow and two or three steps would have brought them within help ing distance of their drowning com panion. All they could do when the tragedy was over was to lament that there was no white man present to tell them what to do. ..:.
 Felder's drowned body was recov- cred. He lived on the Ashley place near where he was drowned.
