MARION NOT WORRIED.
The Electric Railway to Selma VIII be
 Built.

The Electric Railway to Selma VIII be
 Built.
 Marion, June 1.-(Special )-Marion was much amused over the special from Selma to The Birmingham Age-Herald which appeared today. The special states that should the electric line be built and cars operated between Selma and Perry's capitol the Southern Rail- way will abandon its track between Marion Junction and Greensboro and will build a line over the old road bed from Uniontown to Greensboro, there- by leaving Marion high and dry with out railroad connections.
 The Marion people have heard this whistle before. They are loaded this time and if needs be they can build on their own account an electric car line to tap Uniontown, Centreville and Selma and not ask TOT assistance. The old trunk line learned them a lesson. They have prepared for emergencies and have the cash, They laugh at the effort to bluff Marion's Selma friends.
 The Marion and Selma electric line is in this attitude: Selma puts up $3O.OO0, Marion s15,Oo0, the right of way Is given and all timber or crossties and material for other purposes. Papers are signed up for right of way and timbers. Marion has up $16,20O and Selma about $16,000. Parties from Chicago and New York have proposed to float bonds with the above subscrip- tion guaranteed. Selma, 1t will be noticed. is slightly behind. She promises to come across. If she does the electric line is a go quick. If she don't Marion will find an outlet.

FRIDAY, JUNE ?, 1905.
EMANCIPATION OF THE PRESS,

IT
 Not the least significant feature of the recent crushing defeat of Russia is the bold and outspoken stand of the press of that country. Few nations have more complete and arbitrary control of the newspapers than 1t has. In very few countries has the press been so thoroughly enslaved as 1t has been the usual reward of any editor who dared criticise the government or the rulers.
 That there has been a remarkable awakening and throwing off of snacklcs is plainly evident to any one who reads the expressions of Russian journals as given In the press dispatches. They not only speak out boldly and unequiv- ocalIy in favor of peace. but, what is more significant, they criticise the gov ernment and the conduct of the war with something approaching American or English bluntness. It has not been long that Russian journals dared set themselves up as critics and judges of what the rulers are doing and have done.
 An emancipated public press can have an almost dominating influence .n Rus- sia at this crisis We'll will it be for the country and the people if that press lines up for good order and peaceful re- forms. If the prominent newspapers of the country should use their influence to foment disorder and revolution they can be instrumental in bringing about conditions of which no one can see the end. The people are now in a state of dangerous unrest. It will require but little encouragement to make wild beasts of them, and the influential jour- nals should realize this and govern themselves accordingly. What Is need ed now on the part of the press and the conservative citizens is a firm but temperate demand that the war shall cease and that such reforms shall at once be begun and carried out as will ensure some degree of freedom for the people and peace and prosperity for the country at large. Despotism, oligar- chy and class tyranny will die hard, but 1t may be so managed that they will die without dragging the entire structure of government down to ruin. A general revolution now. controlled by a long-restrained and blood-mad peo- pie would be a misfortune, and It's ef- fleets would reach far beyond Russia. Let us Andulge the hope that the lead ing and influential journals will be leaders in the direction of oraer and established self-government They are showing that they are not afraid to speak out and it will be well for the country if they speak wisely.

 It was the best year in the history of the school" said Mir. Jackson. There were enrolled during the year All pu- piis representing twenty-nine counties or Alabama, the largest enrolment and the most representative attendance during the existence of the school. There were twenty-three graduates and they acquitted themselves in a manner that reflected great credit up- on their training.
 The annual address was delivered by Congressman Wiley of Montgomery. He made one of the finest addresses or its kind 1t has been my pleasure to hear in many years"

DEFENDING A rRUCKLEs.

The Chattanooga Times Is one of the few good newspapers, so far as we have observed. to defend the action of the school authorities of Washington in refusing to allow "Our Dumb Anil mals" to be circulated in. the public schools of the city because that publi- cation had criticised the President. The Times can see no reason why they should not have taken the course they did and still be within their lights and thoroughly in accord with good judg- ment and sound sense. The public schools are instituted for specific pur- poses, among which are not the en- couragement of crankery or the incul- cation of "nonsensical tommyrot.' This President in the offensive article men, tioned for the purpose of attracting at- tention it could In no other way con- mand We have yet to learn that school boards are in any, way obligated, whether the President be assalled or not. to lend the school organizations to any project for advertising publica- tfons or to exploiting the notions of visionary editors"
 The character of the publication Is not in question. except that 1t is a hightoned magazine which has for its main object the installation of mercy and humanity into the minds and hearts of the young-an object which might well be emulated by more pre- tentious publications. The main point of the incident was the contemptible trucking of the school board snd su- perintendent to power and authority of the President; the attempt to curry fa- vor with him by an act of very small official tyranny. We suspect that if The Times should speak any Fl of Roosevelt and the school authorities of Chattanooga should bar that paper from the school rooms our esteemed contemporary would emit roar that could be heard from Corona to Silver Lake. Whether The Times likes or dis likes Our Dumb Animals" or It's editor has nothing to do with the .nerits of the case.

Now Is the time to use Hyomei, when the early summer days make 1t so easy to cure catarrhal troubles. The Hyomei treatment, breathed for a few minutes three or four times a day in May or June, will do good twice as quickly as 1t did in January. and near ly everyone knows that used faith fully then. 1t completely rids the sys- tenn of catarrh.
 The complete Hyomei outfit costs but one dollar. and consists of a neat inhaler that can be carried in the purse or vest-pocket and will last a lifetime. a medicine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei. Extra bottles of Hyomei can be procured. if desired. for fifty cents.
