Citizens of this section are very much
interested 10 the construction of the new
road from Southport to Mt Pleasant
by the county hands, and the liberal do
nations which have been made bv the
business men of town and property own
ers along the route of the road, show
spirit of enterprise and progressiyeness
which is to be very highly commended.
Besides adding materially to the value
of phosphate and farming lailds east of
town, and placing the oW mars thereof
much more conveniently located to a
good market and to other advantages to
be had in this progressive little city, the
new road will materially increase the
trade of our merchants from that sec.
ton Of the county, thereby fully repay
ing them for every dollar and for all
time and trouble expended 10 securing
it, There has never been the interest
taken in the good road movement in this
section and by our citizsns as there
should have been, and it is greatly to be
hoped that the benefits derived from the
Southport road, when it is completed,
will be so great that Mt. Pleasant peo-
pie will not be satisfied until there is
good road leading in every direction
from the place. 10 the meantime, let
US lot lose interest ia the work now
under way, but let every assistance and
encouragement possible be given to the
committee of business men who have
the road work in charge.

THE DREAM ER.

From the London Academy. 1 shall never wed with flesh I shall never
 ask of woman To make a home of love, a dwelling of
 delight; For l have no hearts desire toward tho
 beauty that is human Bodless as joy are the dreams that
 come at night. I shall never call one son. nor the fair
 sweet name of daughter. For l live with dreams and of them
 make my home. And my kindred are the clouds, and th/
 wind, and the wild water, The sunlight, the starlight. the shadows
 and the gloam For they are a part of me, in my blood
 hear them crying, And I know no rest. by noon, or night,
 day. When l think of the white hills in their
 lonely silence lying. And listen to the call of waters far
 away. And look toward the day when our homo
 shall be together. When my voice shall sound in the music of the rills, When my soul shall be breath of the
 golden summer weather And my heart a pulse of the peace upon
 the hills.

Mir. Walsh's Three Banks.

No money was stolen from he three Chicago banks that were compelled to close their doors, no securities were abstracted. Everything was in good order in the three banks, anl no one did anything wrong or very regular.
 "The trouble with the Walsl banks, D says Comptroller of the Currency Ridgely, was due to two things which are always dangerous-th hiding of large amounts of public deptsits and the managing officers of tie bank being interested in outside enterprises requiring the use of large amounts of money borrowed from the funis of the bank. No bank whose offi,ers are using its money to any conliderable amount Is ever free from danler." The vice-president of tlH chief Walsh bank was treasurer of the san itary district in Chicago, and tie board of the district controls the drainage canal, and millions of it's money was deposited in the Walsh banls. The apprehended withdrawal of tln public moneys'is what led to the failure of the three banks.
 This, together with the fact that MT. Walsh was interested in twenty | five enterprises, several of whih need ed large amounts of money. under mined public confidence in the three banks. The Walsh enterpries are sound, and if times remain prosperous, and the capital needed in thm can be procured, they will come aong In
 good shape, and MT. Walsh vii be a
 ri. man again, and every claim
 against the three banks will le fully
 paid.
 It is some satisfaction to know that three banks can go down together,
 without showing any stealage or de 1 falcation of any sort. MT. WaEh had
 too many irons in the fire, ald his banks held too much public money
 which is peculiarly subject to ,udden
 withdrawal whenever the political
 complexion of the controlling board is
 changed as it may be in singe day | of ballots 1t was so changed i1 Chi
 cago, and the blow fell on MT. Walsh | and his banks.

extreme price named by President Jor-

extreme price named by President Jor dan.
 The spinners say that 15 cents g pound would seriously check consump ton, and that they cannot; market goods made from 15-cent cotton. This is what the spinners say, bit others say they have sold goods on the basis of 14-cent cotton, when in act they paid but 10 cents for 1t.
 Spinners and growers never agree. The mill men want the lowest possi- ble prices, while the producers natural ly want remuneratiye price. There are always three parties in tie cotton market. namely. spinners, growers and speculators. The last namedare rare ly unit, and they are quite as apt to be found on one side of the market as on the other. But the spirners are always bears, while the growers are always bulls. It is impossibleto please at the same time both spiniers and growers, for their desires and view points are irreconciliable.

British Parliamentary Elections.

Premier Sir Henry Campbell-Banner- man will no doubt dissolve parliament, in which he cannot command a ma jority on any party question, and dis solution is expected in the course of the next twenty days.
 After the royal proclamation dis solving parliament is issued things will move more rapidly in the mother country. They move in direct con trast to political steps in this country The campaign that follows dissolution lasts but two. or at the most, three weeks. and in from four to six weeks after dissolution the parliament meets, and the government either stands or gives away 10 one made up from the other party. Speedy as this is, there are many who desire a shortening of the election period.
 One of the best features of the Brit
 
 ish system is that the new parliament meets at once. instead of waiting over year. as members of Congress do in this country. Public sentiment is speedy in England, and nothing is per mitted to obstruct it's course. In this country all sorts of Instructions are encountered, and public sentiment must stand steadfast to accomplish anything here.
 The manner of voting is simplicity itself. Only a member of parliament Is to be elected, and the ballot is small. But two names, as a rule, appear upon 1t. and the voter makes mark after the name of his choice The British electoral machinery aims to be simple, and simplicity cannot be carried fur lner than it is in the British elections. Error is almost impossible.

Youth in the Rina.

Oslerism certainly did score when Philadelphia Jack" who was born In 1878, knocked out Fitzsimmons, who was born in 1862. The latter tough. his first battle nearly twenty years ago, and his strength could not hold out against Philadelphia Jacks stom. ach blows. Such blows are not fleas. ant to young man, and they are dis. man. The veteran confessed 1t was all over when the stomach blow came
 The real name of the new champion is Joseph Francis Hagan, but his pro- fessional name is Jack O'Brien, and here is his record:
 in 1S96 whom he defeated In six rounds.
 He has fought 1Ss times.
 His only defeat was a knockout rom Young Peter Jackson, thirteen rounds, February 14 1900.
 In private life he is real estate dealer elubman and man of the world.
 He is the richest pugiist alive, most of his thousands being represented in Phil adelpha real estate.
 It appears from the telegraphic re ports that O'Brien outgeneralled Fltz simmons in footwork. He would get in his blows and then duck and run away. His foN work was remarkable and at that point Dr. Osler was win dicated, for young man can out foot out duck and out run an old man This is what gave O'Brien the larger share of the gate receipts, and here after Dr. Osler stands sustained, at least at the ringside.

Likes to Return.

T always like to return to Birming- ham and spend day or two here" said Hugh Iatimer, travelling passenger agent of the Queen and Crescent route at Knox vile, who was formerly connected with the same route in Birmingham. Tt Is really inspiring to a fellow to come to Birmingham every few weeks and see the activity in business circles.
 Ever since I left here several months ago there have been wonderful changes. and I see hundreds of faces that are new to me l had a large acquaintance when | was here and knew the faces of hundreds of people whose names l did not know Today l was walking, around the city and l was surprised at the i'm mense number of new faces
 "All railroad men who have ever worked in Birmingham look back to this city as the greatest railroad center in the south, with probably one exception. The freight men tell me it Is the greatest city for them. and know that the passenger bus mess in Birmingham during the past few years has increased more rapidly than it has in any other city in the south"

Weather Helped Trade.

''The bright weather today certainly helped the Christmas trade wonderfully" said Simon Klotz yesterday "The wealth CT had been bad for about ten days and the shoppers were staying at home to a large extent hoping that the cloudy days would be followed by sunshine before the end of the week.
 "When the sun came out Thursday everyone rushed to town to do their shopping and today it was the same way. I have never seen Christmas shopping heavier, and the merchants have as much as they can attend to.
 'The indications of prosperity are to be seen on every side. People are spend- ing more for their presents this year and they are getting more presents than they have In former years People who paid an average of B for their presents last year have paid s2 or 8 more this year, and they have bought about 20 per cent more.
 'If we had had good weather for the first three or four days of this week there is no telling how much increase theii would have been in the sales in all the stores in the city. As 1t is the merchants tell me that their business this year has been far in excess of that of last year, or any previous year for number of years'

 Prince Sedge Beloselsky of Russia also chose an American girl who was compar- atively poor, Miss Susie Whittier, daugh- ter of Gen. Charles A. Whittier
 When Marguerite Stone of this city mar red Count Beroldingen of Austria, in 1904, there was practically no settlement on the bride by her family.
 Mary Letter. daughter of the late Levi z. Letter of Chicago, who was married to Lord Curzon, afterward vice regent of India, and her sister, Marguerite ("Daisy) Letter, who was married to the Earl of Suffolk, were said to have had a s2OOoOOO dowry each, which was quite un- reservedly put at the disposition of their husbands.
 Former Vice President Levi P Morton settled s30000 year on his daughter Helen when she became the wife of the Due de vaencay of France. The dues family had parted with the title as alleged, when they sold their ancestral castle to Jean Castellane, brother of Count Boni. After the marriage to Miss Morton. the duo bought back the castle for s543,665. When Alice Thaw of Pittsburg became the Marchioness of Hertford, her mother settled on her $25,000 a year.
 The Princess Colonna (Miss Mackay), the Countess Festetics Miss Haggin) and the Princess Hatzfeldt Miss Huntington) were three rich western brides of titled Europeans, the first and last mentioned each having dowry of 8 million. Count Imperatori of Italy was playing in the orchestra at Sherrys when he married Miss Margaret Taylor of this city. Count Graocchino Toreggi of Bologna

Mir. Shorter on Insurance.

ponutv Insurance Commissioner Harry R. Shorter no doubt speaks wisely when he advises policy of east ern companies to hold on by the keep ing up of premiums. He has not word to say, however, about the pre- yailing cost of insurance, which mas by waste and extravagance been car ried to a point where the policyholder of one company. for example, paid in .- in order to get $1, and a policy holder of another company was taxed s3 while his widow and children get but s1 in return. Such insurance IS much too high-priced, far outrunnins in cost insurance in European coun' tries. Extravagance and waste and graft. especially in commissions. and a wild search for new business have brought heavy levies upon those who hold policies.
 Nor does Mr. Shorter mention the eagerness of the insurance companies for lapses. They are hungry for them They have grown rich upon them They fatten upon them, even to the extent of princely salaries extending down through the reigning family Nothing short of revolutionary dis closures can dislodge them, for theil pockets are stuffed with proxies, ant their offices with lapses. They are built upon lapses to no small extent They are more industrious in mailing lapses than in anything else.
 These points Mr. Shorter does no discuss. and the 50000 policyholder' in Alabama would be glad to hear iron him as to these matters, for they vii certainly come up when the Legislature meets.

IN HOTEL. LoBBIEs
Thirsty Congressman.

The Washington men that Christmas has brought home tell good story on a hard-worked Alabama congressman Not long ago he received q bottle of molasses made from sugar cane by new process The bottle had the size. shape and coior Of bottles used by distillers of beverage whistles, It was placed on the top sheil in the closet of the congressman fooin' and was then forgotten: Some days later' after the midnight hour-for this repre- sentative is a hard worker for fair, and commonly he and his secretary grind out letters until |, 2, and sometimes as late as 8 o'clock in the morning-he remarked to his secretary that he would like to nave bracer.
 Where is that bottle we received some days ago?" he inquired.
 Tt is on the shelf in the closet And with that the secretary went to the closet and got the bottle observing that 1t must be extra fine stuff, as it felt rather heavy.
 'Oh, you are tired; that Is why 1t teels heavy. Hand 1t to me-" said the states man, pulling out his pocket corkscrew' and at the same time asking his secre- tary for two glasses, the secretary being not averse to nip now and then.
 The cork came out as if 1t had been greased, and almost without effort. The bottle was inverted, and slowly treaked out the moasses which was of a light amber color. The smell of good liquor was wanting.
 Then 1t was that the distinguished statesman uttered an exclamation of sur prise and astonishment that embraced at least seven adjectives from the profane dictionary. He demanded to know the name of the heartless joker.
 The letter files were referred to, and the discovery made that no joke had been perpetrated, but that the sender of the molasses had stated in his letter just what the bottle contained.
 The statesman and his secretary got their drink, however. They routed the barkeeper out of his bed.
