Another Cable.

The steamer "Colonia" which
sailed from Canso, N. S., Sep
tember 26, paying out the Com
nercial Company's new Atlantic
cable, arrived at E O'Clock, Oc-
tober 2, at point 1877 miles from
the Irish coast, where she made
tn, final splice between the
2, 900 miles of cable she has laid
from the American side and the
I87 miles laid from the Irish
coast by the steamer cambria"
last June.
On September e the weather
on the Irish coast and the Amer
ican coast was hne, but the "Col-
onia" was laying cable in a hur-
ricane in latitude 55 minutes, IS
seconds north, longitude AZ min
utes, 10 seconds east, blowing
with the greatest force from the
southeast.
This will make the fifth At
lantic cable laid by the CONNER
cial Company. When the first
cable was laid across the Atlantic
ocean the people of the whole
world were apprised Of the under.
taking. This was less than 40
years ago and now we have five
cables. The world moves and
cables are becoming SO common
that comparatively few of our
people have paid any heed to the
laying Of the last wire.

PitiabIe ignorance.

One is amazed now and then
at the evident ignorance of some
people and cannot avoid wonder.
ing how it is that a person, man
OF woman, boy or girl, with
average sense fails to grasp more
of the truths OF life, even by OBJ
servation. We have encounter
ed two men in our time who
strenously declared that the earth
was fiat. The idea of water
1orinihg, or assisting to form, a
globe was not acceptable to these
men and they scofed the pre-
sumption and ignorance of per-
son who undertook to talk gravi-
ty TO them.
Somebody is to blame for such
pitiable ignorance and it may be

The fact is, almost every body has a
weak spot somewhere. Death and dis
ease are always looking for weak spots.

its proper work, if your body fails to

E. q. Fowler Guarantees that HyOmei VIII Cure the Worst Case of
 Catarrh in the City.

. When one of the most reputable druggists in the city guarantees that a medicine will effect cure or he will refund the money, it speaks volumes as to the merits of that remedy. It is in this way that MT. Fowler Is selling Hyomei, the treatment that has made so many cures of both acute and chronic cases of catarrh in Montgom- cry and vicinity.
 Hyomei Is not a pill. nor is 1t a liquid that has to be taken with a ta- blespoon or wineglass. Just breathe it by the aid of an inhaler that comes with every outfit. and benefit will be seen from the first treatment.
 It destroys all germ life in the air passages and lungs, and enriches and purifies the blood with additional ozone. It cures catarrh of the head kidneys. Wherever mucous membrane contains catarrhal germs, there Hyomei will do its work of healing. When using this treatment, the air you breathe will be found like that on the mountains high above the sea level, where grow balsamic trees and plants which make the air pure by giving off volatile antiseptic fragrance that Is healing to the respiratory organs.
 The complete Hyomei outfit costs but Slo0 and includes an inhaler, dropper and sufficient Hyomei for several weeks treatment.
 Remember that if Hyomei does not cure you, Mir Fowler will refund your money. This is a good time to cure catarrh by this natural method and prevent catarrhal colds that are so common at this season. No. [.

HITCHCOCK IS INDIGNANT.
Says Punishment Of Land swindiers is
 Entirely Inadequate.

EntireIy Inadequate.
 Washington. Nov. l5.--Secretary Hitchcock was today unonicially in- formed that in the matter of prosecu- tion of Bartlett Richards and W. c. Comstock In the federal court at Omaha for the illegal fencing of 212.o00 acres of government land in Sheridan County. Nebraska, upon pleading guilty the de- fendants had been sentenced to remain for six hours in the custody of the United States Marshal and pay a fine of $500 each.
 You can say" said the Secretary in discussing the verdict. that I am sur prised and indignant. The punishment is utterly inadequate. The indictment was the result of four years of deter mined effort and the expenditure of thousands of dollars by the department. We had selected the large operators in the hope that the result would be a warning to those engaged on a smaller scale.
 That the case was a strong one Is evident by the fact that the men pleaded guilty The result is discourag- ing but we shall not cease our efforts. They have promised to tear down their fences and if they do not keep the promise they will be indicted again and again until they tear them down and they learn that the laws are made to be obeyed"

the affirmative but the Tuscaloosa rep
 resentatives still held out to decide
 the matter at the spring meeting.
 A resolution was finally introduced by Rev. Neal l.. Anderson, D. D., of
 Montgomery. to the effect that the
 Synod had heard with pleasure the answer in the affirmative of the three
 Presbyteries and the expression of sympathy from the Tuscaloosa Pres- bytery and answered the overture in the affirmative, the Tuscaloosa Pres bytery in the meantime doing what 1t could toward the fund. The East Ala bama Presbyter's Home Mission Board was made the collecting agent for the fund. The resolution was adopted. Dr. w. M. McPheeters of the Co., Iumbia Theological Seminary then re- ported on the condition of that vener- able institution that has turned out many of the South's most noted Pres byterian ministers. He reported that the attendance was the smallest in the history of the institution but he de- rived satisfaction from this fact be- cause the young men who are there studying for the ministry did not come from a feeling of following the crowd but came because they believed that the seminary had merit. pr. McPhee- ters spoke for some time on the glo- ries of the past of the institution and what the Presbyterian church owes to it, calling to mind several of the alumni, who have done noble work in Alabama He asked of the represen- tatives simply an assurance of their cordiality and fair share of the can didates for admission to the ministry. pr. McPheeter's remarks were re- ferred to the Committee on Columbia Seminary.

 Washington. Nov. l6.--Aithoush the fuli board was not in session today the sub-commfttees of the consulting board of engineers of the Isthmian ca- nal commission formed for the special study of the sea-level and the lock canal projects, held short sessions to discuss small detail of the work which came up in Wednesdays full session of the board.
 The full board will meet tomorrow and 1t Is expected that it will finish It's work Saturday. The next week will be spent in drawing up the report. II q minority of the members dissent. they will draw up second report In which they will put forward their opin- ion and this will bs sent as an appen- dix or minority report to the official report.
 Although the proceedings are kept secret, 1t can be stated that the board will offer plan of it's own and that the plans of Mir. Bates and Mir. Bunau- varilla, though they were very useful in the discussions and contained inn portant points, will neither of them be finally chosen.
 The most important question in re- gard to the digging of the canal was taken up last Tuesday afternoon. In speaking of that meeting, one of the members said that the most import ant question of the whole proceedings has been settled. The vote on this was oral and Chairman Davis was the last to vote. The main question as to build ing the canal was settled by an over whelming majority.

EDUCATION OF
 THE NEGRO Subject Discussed by the Presbyterian Synod. CONSERVATIVE DEBATE Blacks Should Be Trained Along Christian Lines. pr. s.edecsr Makes Appeal for stili- man Isstitute at TuscaIoosa.
 Reports Received on other
 Work of Church.

The negro question was discussed yesterday in the morning session of the Alabama Synod. The negro question is always one that may cause a sensa- ton in any deliberative body. but the representatives to this high court Of the Presbyterian denomination ham, died 1t carefully and were able to let the live-wire go without radical ut terances.
 The report of pr. J. G. snedecor. President of the Stillman Institute for negroes, near Tuscaloosa, and the Gen. eral Assembly Secretary on Negro Evangelization, was decidedly the most lively feature of the second days session in the First Presbyterian Church.
 Dr. snedecor's report came up as a special order soon after the convening of the Synod. He told briefly of the work being done at the Stiliman In- stitute. and then presented the plan to the Alabama Synod which he will present to every synod in the General Assembly,, asking for a $a0,0eo appro- priation for the forward movement in negro evangelization. He declared that the way to solve the negro prob lem was to educate the negroes along Christian lines. In this way only he saw solution of a vexing problem. and he declared that the work could not go on for many more months with out some substantial aid from the va rious Synods.
 Great Missionary Problem.
 He believed that this was one of the greatest missionary problems con fronting the Southern Presbyterian Church, and he believed that 1t could be accomplished efficiently in only one way, and that was devoting more money to the advancement of the cause. He believed that as soon as the Southern Presbyterians learned the facts, that the money would be readily forthcoming, and he asked the pastors to aid him in his work.
 As soon as Dr. Snedecor had ceased speaking there were a number of rep resentatives on their feet. It seemed as if the synod had at last struck q subject on which there might be pos abilities of acrimonious debate. Int speeches were, however, all on the same idea, the Idea that on Christian education alone the solution of tho negro problem depends. True. there were suggestions of racial bitterness Dr. Little of Tuscaloosa believed that unless this important work was done there would be a clash between the races in the near future. and one min ister declared that a white preacher could not speak before a negro congre' gation without being charged with be

7 ing an advocate of social equality. i. But in the main the subject was handled much after the manner that Russian Socialist handles bomb. The representatives. wanted to get rid or 1t as soon as possible. The matter was referred to the standing commit- tee on Negro Reorganization.
 Other matters which occupied the three sessions of the delegates were the overture for the placing of permanent pastor at Auburn, and re- ports from the Columbia Theological Seminary. the Committee on the Or phans' Home, from the General Assem- ply Committee on Bible Work. par tial report from the Committee on Church and Christian Education. a general Sabbath school discussion. and a report from the Board of Trustees of the Alabama Synodical College for Men at Anniston.
 The synod held three sessions, lasting over nine hours. The Presby- terian body will adjourn today or to- night.
 The Morning Session.
 The morning session was called to order at 9 o'clock, Rev. F.. B. Webb, D. D.. Moderator. presiding Short de- votional exercises were held.
 The first special order of the day was the report of Secretary Snedecor of the General Assembly Committee on Colored Evangeifzation. As soon as this matter was disposed of. the Synod heard the report of the Committee on Bills and Overtures on the overture of the East Alabama Presbytery, ask ing the synod for $70o to be donated by the East Alabama, the North Ala bama, the Mobile and the Tuscaloosa Presbyteries for maintenance of a permanent pastor at Auburn
 This overture was made on account of the number of Presbyterian young men attending college at the Auburn Polytechnic Institute.
 The committee recommended answer ing the overture in the affirmative. To this, however, members of the Tusca- loosa Presbytery objected. Dr. A. A. Little said that while he thought that the Tuscaloosa Presbytery would cer- tainly grant the overture, still there was so small a representation present that he much preferred that the mat ter go over until the spring meeting of the Presbytery. He made motion to that effect. F.. a
 Considerable debate was thereby caused, the representatives trying to arrive on some plan by which the overture could be granted with the consent or all four Presbyteries. It was finally decided that the Synod re- cess and that the Presbyteries imme- diately take up the matter during the recess and report back to the Synod at 3 o'clock. At 12 o'clock the Synod re- cessed. 5st
 A Pastor For Auburn. When the Synod reconvened at 3 o'clock, the East Alabama, the North Alabama, and the Mobile Presbyteries agreed on answering the overture in
