RUSSIA AS IT IS.

When one gets an insight into condi- tfons as they really exist in Russia there is no room for surprise that dis content and disorder are so prevalent. Carl Joubert. a French writer who has spent nine years in Russia, has writ ten a book entitled Russia as It Really Is." and this one paragraph is significant:
 From the Baltic to the Yenisei the Governor to the Uryadnik. every man has his price and Is anxious to be Of fered it. The Government the synod, the army. the bench, are putrid with corruption.
 There we see the whole secret. The lowest officials are tyrannical and cor rupt because those immediately above them are so. and so it goes on upward till it reaches the highest omcials. Those who surround the throne, and who dominate the affairs of the nation, are in the main corrupt, cruel and heartless and their example goes down through the entire strata of nobles ana petty officials. There are exceptions no doubt but they are few. Russia as a whole, is just as Joubert describes 1t.
 Is it any wonder that the Russian people are dissatisfied and desperate! They have seen country after country of the old World emerge from gross tyranny to a condition of actual or modified civil liberty and they are en- vious and impatient. They have borne the cruel exactions of tyrants for cen- turtles and think 1t is time for change. When the expression of their thoughts means Siberia or the knout there can be no call for surprise if they revolt. It would be strange if 1t were otherwise

Cotton Ginnera, Repprt.

Editor The Advertiser:
 Looking the Ginners' Report square for alarm, not even the most petulanc pessimist.
 It is a we'll known fact in Alabama that cotton was never known to open so much of 1t in September before. The open cotton and prospect of the good price put every available man, woman and child large enough in the cotton fields to gathering the open cotton and the result has been. that more cotton has been picked anu ginned in, the month of September than has ever been known in the history of the State. I am sure. that South Alabama has already picked and .ginned over one almost done picking, If this condition should prevail over one-hah the cotton zone of the present crop will be small est made in many years.
 rA. Ginners, Report puts the cotton bales and allowing this amount to be one-third of the crop, the number of bales will be only 7,174.000, no cause for alarm in tssse conditi9ns ,ss are aS,a there port should be only one-fourth of the crop still there IS no cause to be uneasy for the number Of bales at this estimate would only be 9.432.o00 far fieeey staple.
 I am quite sure, the cotton ginned in Alabama during October will fall short of the September report. The reason why I think so is, 1t has been a long time since such an impetus was given to cotton gathering in Alabama, Georgia, etc, as has been this fall, per- haps never. Every muscle has been kept taut grabbing after the cotton boil Every gin has been rushed on more than full time trying to gin the cotton for the customers. Many a darky and may be some white men, too, have slept on the cotton loaded on wagons that had to wait over until next day to get the cotton ginned, 80 great was the rush to get the cotton ready for the tempting price.
 So far as investigation goes there Is but little seed cotton stored in cotton houses on the farms and I am fully of the opinion that South Alabama already has over one-half the cotton ginned and baled for market. If we sell no more than we need to pay debts and hold the remainder until we need it in our busi- ness, we will have the fight whipped and then of course the victors will be entitled to the spells.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER ', 1905.
NEGRO MORTALITY.

Discussing the relative mortality among whites and negroes in Washing ton, Baltimore, New York and Phila- selphia. The Chattanooga Times quotes Mir. John P. Heap. in the National Mag azfne, whose figures show that the white population of those cities is nearly twenty times as great as the .ofored. but the average percentage of mortality is 1s for the white and s1 for the coiored. MT. Heap assigns this explanation:
 The negro fellow-cttisen as a rule now sleeps where he can. eats what pc caf get, and when he can get ft. He Is not governed by any laws or rules pertaining to sanitation or health, and by reason of his poverty. and In obedf- ence to his common instincts, he crowds into the cities and there lives In the most crowded and unhealthy sec- tions and is given over to indulgences, ficensiousnes and crime.
 .Tnstead of being encouraged to in- crease the size of his family, the ten dency IS constantly the. other way. every addition being looked upon, if neighbors, as more or less a calamity. As he becomes educated and gets more anu more into the ways of the white people, he becomes. less and less pro- ductive of his species; and though the birth rate is constantly being lowered, yet because of his manner of living ly heated quarters and his consequent tendency to crime and disease. the death rate is getting higher, the death In the larger Cities, being something horrible to contemplate. In Washing ton City for the year 1902 there were 115 deaths among colored children un- der year old. or at tho rate of 45S.3 per 1000. coiored population under l year of age.
 This. 1t is perfectly fair and just to say. is a natural and inevitable result of negro congestion of population in the cities. That it is so much greater among them than among the whites is explained in MT. Heaps words above given. As one remedy for this unde- sirable condition The Times quotes from letter written to the paper by a colored man, s. l.. Hutchins, who is re- ferred to as one of the best educated and most intelligent men of his race in all that section of country. He thinks the farm offers the only solution of the question, and says: Farm life will make the negro self-reliant, independ- ent and industrious and enable him to becomes an influential integer and pro- ductive factor of the country. On the farm he can and will cultivate virtues impossible to him in the crowded how els of the city to which his improvi- dence, his incidence and his incapacity consign him. I see little hope for bet ter things until my people get the ag- ricultural spirit more generally diffused among them."

~why do the Wicked Pro.per.v

Chattanooga Times.
 Why do the wicked prosper?" asks The Montgomery Advertiser and as if to get In good company quotes the psalmist and the prophet Jeremiah as both having been puzzled over the same question. The probable answer Is that they go out after 1t and not being at all compunctious, and the other sort exhibiting neither the ability nor the inclination to prevent 1t, they get 1t. perience teaches. to bunco. cheat and rob the great, good hearted, indifferent, complacent, honest public and the wicked" are apprised of that fact and make a study of how best and easiest to work that knowledge. We have object lessons of how and why the wicked prosper" together with refresh ing illustrations of how 1t could be prevented if their victims would only observe ordinary intelligence and a measure of Precaution in protecting cause there are so many like them selves; because there are so many con- f1ding, indolent good people and be- cause all systems of government and all men are honest until they are proven to be dishonest. which our con temporary must admit makes 1t exceed ingly easy for the man whose inclina- tions are that way, to be dishonest.
 The consolation the good man has is wicked does not carry with 1t either peace of conscience or Ssurcease of sor- row. Retribution in one form or an- other usually overtakes the wicked" and his last end makes sompensatory ous wrongs he has done.

We admire the optimism of The Mus kogee q. ID Democrat which says the Republican Party has become swag- gering bully that cocks its hat side wise, thrusts its thumbs in the arm holes of its vest and so sincerely lays the hattering unction to its soul that it makes the grass to grow and the waters to run that 1t has really come to actually believe so. It has reveled in such adulation of It's fancied might and omnipotence that 1t Is breaking down of its own weight and its wreck will be found only a little way beyond in the calendar of time. The wise party pie eater will prepare for a rainy day, for 1t is coming" Let us hope that our contemporary's forecasts are correct. We are not in the habit of rejoicing over the misfortunes of others, but would like to see the Re- publicans roofing for subsistence while the Democrats are dividing the pie.

TWO RAplcAL rnAsunns.

Automania, as 1t Is coming to be des- ignated, is responsible for two some what extreme moves in the way of self defense. Some time ago we made mention of the action of the little town of Glencoe. H.. which had series of ridges. or bumps, built across the streets for the discomfiture of the speeders. These bumps were so ar ranged and constructed that carriage or other vehicle. or an automobile trav- cling at modern speed. would pass over them without inconvenience. but one going at thirty to fifty miles an hour would get such bounce as to throw the occupants out and probably break the machine. The matter was brought before the court and the judge held that the town acted clearly within its rights and that the bumps might stand
 This is one phase of the matter. and North Branch. New Jersey. is contem- plating another; or. rather. it has ai- ready begun. There the people have formed an anti-automobile association. one object of which is to procure the enactment of rigid laws against those who use the machine. They even go so far as to oppose any candidate for State Senate or the Assembly who eith- CT owns or has ridden in an auto. That both these movements are dras- tic and may be unfair and hort-sight- ed is apparent, but who is to blame? Automobiles. properly controlled and run at safe speed ought to be well comed. but they are not so managed. All of us admit that street cars are great convenience, but if they were run along our streets at a speed Of forty or fifty miles an hour some means would have to be adopted to reduce their dangerous speed or they would be abolished. They would be a constant menace to all the people.
 It is the same with the automobiles. Running at lightning speed along crowded streets and highways, killing and maiming men, women and children, is creating a hostile sentiment for which the owners of the machines have only themselves to blame. If it con- tinues. the time will come when, if people do not resort to violence to pro- tect themselves, they will be able to enact laws which will be anything but comfortable to the speeders. As The Brooklyn Eagle says: The hatred of automobiles which the Eastern and Western actions alike prove is seri- ous matter. It is due not to the decent and orderly use of these vehicles, but to the recklessness of the scorchers. This speed madness, which leads to running down pedestrians and soaring horses must be controlled by somebody. The cautious and orderly automobilists ought to do it for themselves. Through their club organizations and through | the influence with the manufacturers they can make reckless driving un- popular and put the scorchers in the pillory so effectively that the danger | ous practices will be abandoned. If they cannot or do not take such action. they must expect to suffer under such warfare as is being waged against all machines in New Jersey and in the su- burbs of Chicago"

Secretary Shaw Is putting up a vig- orous kick against the universal mi- crobe theory. his particular complaint being against the belief that old bank bills are dangerous to handle. That belief has become widespread, and he. being Secretary of the Treasury, finds his department overworked on account of the number of old bills that are turned in to be exchanged for new ones. We guess he will have to stand it, for whether the old and worn bills are dangerous to handle or not the be- lief that they are is too general to be disregarded. And at any rate the new bills are much nicer to handle than old ones. and for that reason, if for no other. exchanging old for new is a good plan.

Beat Organization For Farmers.

Edtt0r The AQvert1Sers
 If farmers ever become an organized body, the foundation of which must be laid in the sub divisions of the coun- ties, known as beats.
 It is possible to organize a beat into e pure democracy. where 1t Is possible for every one living in the beat may meet at the same time for the transac- ton of business. do hope the farm CTS of the different beats of Montgom- cry County will strike while the iron Is hot end proceed to organize the beats at once for the mutual protection of each other in holding up the. price of our farm products. Please do not wait for some one else to do the work. but rise as one man and go to work with a determination to protect your selves from the spectators and gam blers. The county club will never be properly organized until the beats are. becuse the county club must necessarily be composed of representatives from each beat. Let's show the world that we can and will organize for the good and the protection of every farmer in the county.
 Beat Is expects to hold an all day meeting Saturday. October 21st next. at which 1t Is expected every farmer of the beat will be present. If we miss this chance to get together we will never do so. so far as can see. Every body Is willing. J. R. McLendon.

 to the poor. We need to have brought to our minds continually these teach ings, some of which are. 'The poor roughly. Whose stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor. he also shall cry himself. but shall not be heard. He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, the poor because he Is poor: For the Lord will plead his cause, and spoil the soul that spells them. He that by u3ury ana unjust gain lnCTcdScLH HIS substance, he shall gather 1t for him that will pity the poor. He that hath mercy on the poor. happy is he"
 We need to begin to think about this subject seriously right here in Mont gomery. When we are prosperous we become indifferent, selfish, proud and vain.
 I some times go into the narrow. hot, out any of the comforts of life, in the wards of which sat pOorly-clad, pale faced, sad-eyed little children, into whose life a ride into the country, the songs of the birds and the fresh air would have brought unknown happi- ness. I came out into better street and saw a handsome carriage pass. its driver in full livery, in which sat handsomely dressed woman in whose lap sat dog, fresh from Its bath, with a little locket tied about it's neck with a dainty bit of ribbon. A little further on saw another woman seated in an aesy rocking chair on a luxurious porch with another dog in her lap tempting its delicate appetite with some dainty bit of food.

Will not our good women from the en- tire city come together and organize United Charities so that they may be ready when necessity arises? This writer will be glad to meet with them and render such help as he can, if such desire shall be made known through The Advertiser. A. Reader.
