sPEAKING WORDS or TRUTH.

Recently Prof. W. H. councill, Pres fdent of the coiored school at Normal. Ala. delivered an address at Bismarck, Kan. and among other things. he said The did not fear Southern oppression half as much as he did the Invasion of the South by Northern white laborers. full of prejudices. pleading their color as a reason why they should supplan, negro laborers. There was never any color line in Southern industries till Northern men made 1t. He thinks that coiored men in the North will do much where they are. than to spend their breath abusing the south."
 Almost any Northern man. especially If he is Republican. will resent the imputation that he is not a good friend to the negro. It matters not that the negroes in the North are not as well treated as they are in the South, for that fact seems to escape the critics who take delight in looking down this way and criticising the laws and regu- A1tiOAo OA th0 0V1shCEh PCopiOs ECAhty made and adhered to as a measure of self-defence and practical self-preser- vation. If the Northern Republicans were fair and consistent, we would have no reason to complain. but they are neither. That Is why we can have little patience with them.
 Professor Councill spoke words of truth when he said that there was no color line in Southern industries till Northern men made it. and he might have added that the line is almost cer- tain to be more and more sharply de- Tined and rigidly observed in proportion as the Northern people insist on but ting in" where there is no call for them to interfere. We of the South are an independent sort. and perhaps we are hard-headed. At all events. we resent interference on the part of outsiders in affairs which we have always looked on as our own business. and in which others have no cause to interfere.
 As a matter of fact there need be no such things as a race issue or race question in the South. White and col- ored understand each other and the former know what is best for the latter and will do it, if not interfered with In all the mechanical trades and in all agricultural occupations, the two races work together in harmony and peace If that condition Is ever disturbed. the disturbance can invariably be traced to outside causes. If Northern people. or any of them. are true friends of the colored race they can best show it by strictly minding their own affairs and not interfering with ours. If we cared to indulge in recrimination we could point out so many instances of North ern hostility to negroes up there as ought to make them ashamed to open their mouths on the subject, but that argument would not close their lips. It is sufficient to tell them that they will do much better If they listen to the ad- vice of such men as Councill instead of needing the blatant words of politi- clans, white and colored, North and South, whose solicitude Is in almost every case based on a desire for politi- cal Advantage.

rmrRoyrNG THE AUTO.

Automobiles. we presume. have come to stay. just as other methods of annl- hilating time---and an occasional by stander-will stay. A curiosity at first. they are becoming common sights on the streets of cities and the prediction is freely made that they will soon take the place of hacks and street cars for public use. To do this. there must De various improvements made, some of which are thus set forth by The Now York Times in, speaking of the kind of machine needed, If it is to become pop uIar:
 1. It must be able to move at the rate | of fifteen miles an hour
 | 2. Cost must be not much over $500. 3. So well built and simple that it will run ten hours day 365 days in the year.
 These may be called essential quail ties, but they do not comprise all that
 is needed. The speed limit Is high enough, for that is as fast as a person should desire to travel under ordinary circumstances, and we might add that 1t Is as fast as they should be allowed to travel on the public highways. Then We think the cost may be reduced con- siderably below $500. unless it Is kept ! up through combinations. or patepts The price given may appear reasonable now. but if they are to become popular | they must be sold at lower figure than that given by The Times That, however, is a detail for the future and the makers to work out
 The third disideratum is a good one. but 1t doesn't go far enough, and 1t should be extended. A machine that twill run ten hours in a day, 365 days in year." Is almost perfect, but there must also be assurance that 1t will run longer than one year. It should be so simply and strongly constructed that 1t will run at least five years with com | paratively little expense for repairs. A man who invests even five hundred dol lars for a vehicle for use or pleasure will want some assurance that 1t will | not break down with him before he gets the worth of his money.
 Another necessary condition, it seems to us, would be that machines for every | day use should be safer than those at present in use can be called. It is not necessary to run at high speed, except on extraordinary occasions, but it is necessary that the machine for common use should be both safe and easily con- trolled--a machine that will be safe for the riders and for others. If all these points can be gained, there seems no reason why the auto shall not be- | come a common and economical means of transportation.

CuTIcuRA
Soap, Ointment and Pills the Worlds Greatest
 Skin Cures.
PRICE THE SET $l.
Complete Treatment for Every . humour, from Pimples
 to SCrofula.

The agonizing itching and burning of the skin. as in eczema the frightful scaling. as in psoriasis; the loss of hair and crusting of the scalp, as in sealed head the facial disagreement, as in pimples and ringworm; the awful suffering of infants and the anxiety of worn-out parents, as in milk crust, letter, and salt rheurn, all demand a remedy of almost super. human virtues to successfully cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Oint- ment, and Pills are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regarding them that is not justi- fed by the strongest evidence. The purity and sweetness. the power to afford immediate relief. the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the ab- solute safety and great economy, have made them the standard skin cures and humour remedies of the civilized world.
 The graudest testimonial that can be offered the Cuticura remedies is their worldwide sale, due to the per- soral recommendations of those who have used them. From a small begin- ming in the simplest form, against prejudice and opposition, against monied hosts, countless rivals, and trade indifference. cuticura remedies have become the greatest curatives of their time, and, in fact, of all time, for nowhere in the history of medicine is to be found another approaching them in popularity and sale. In every cline and with every people they have met with the same reception. The confines of the earth are the only limits to their growth. They have conquered the world.

It is stated in the telegrams from Washington that Mir Behan, now act ing postmaster of New Orleans. will not be appointed. because he is not an ac- tual resident of that city. For many years he has been living there and en- gagged in business, but 1t seems votes at country place where he resides a portion of the time. We are somewhat surprised at this ruling in view of what has happened here in Alabama in less than twelve months. At Dothan and Marion. two important Alabama towns, men who perhaps had never been in either place. were made .postmasters in the most offensive carpet-bag fash ion. If the Postofice Department had required the Republican referees to recommend actual residents for post masters, citizens of Dothan and Marion would have had postmasters from their own numbers instead of having them sent from Randolph and Tallapoosa Counties.

The Worry Wrinkle.

ChICAgO Journal.
 It is not always age that makes those disagreeable furrows across our foreheads and round our eyes. There are some grandmothers whose faces have hardly wrinkle and some grand daughters whose brows are as scanned as they might be at sixty.
 Time is not responsible for these vexing little lines. good many of them may be charged up against worry. If one gets in the way of fretting over everything that has gone wrong, and everything one thinks likely to go wrong. the record upon ones face will be as plain as print. Bad temper makes a mark which Is hard to erase, and is far uglier than the lines the happy years bring.

Letters to tbe Gditof
The Only Effective Way.

Editor I ne Advertiser:
 The idea of burning cotton to dimin- ish the supply Is. ot course, absurd, and there Is no danger that the two or three sporadic Instances will be sanctioned Or followed.
 The effective way ut increasing the price Of the present crop is to de- crease the acreage of the next crvp. If pIanters all over the South would decrease the acreage % per cent, the prlce of cotton would advance as soon as the agricultural reports disclosed the Tact.
 If the serious decline in cotton had occurred earner the decrease in area Of the next crop would have been quite certain. But many people have all Idea that the present deunnS is temporary and that even with crop or thIrteen mlIIIUns or more, the price will go back to 10 cents. Believing that nigh prices will asaIn prevail the in centlVe to reduce the acreage Is lack ing.
 While 1t is true that the decline has been more rapid and is greater than the reported increase would warrant, 1t Is very evident we have no reason to hope for the hign prices of the re- cent past, and this being so. the rem edy must be found in reduced acreage The great trouble is in securing, uni- formity of action. Here is where the Grange" or any like order could ac- comp4lsh great good, If they had not been destroyed by becoming political organizations. If there should develop general impulse towards decreased acreage, there are those who would pant even more than heretofore, on the idea of protiting by the action of their neighbors. Such a disposition, it is feared. would be sufficiently prev alent to offset in great degree, the decrease on the part of others. There is but one defense against such sell tishness and that is publicity. Every one has the right, Of course, to do what he will with his own; but Ii 1t is generally agreed-is the expressed general intention to plant less cotton. the man who would De selfish enough to take advantage of a movement de signed for the collective welfare of the people should be known.
 If the Southern press will unite in pressing the importance of a decided decrease in acreage the coming year "a decrease nf not less than 25 per cent, 1t will render a service to the country that cannot be over-estimated.

Greeting From Governor JelIxs,

l yearn to look in on you boys"
 These words express the sentiment of Governor W. D. Jelks at the time he wrote a letter from Las Vegos, New Mexico, to Secretary of State E. R. Mo- David, which letter arrived yesterday morning.
 The letter of the convalescent Gov ernor was written to convey new years greetings. The only thing in 1t to indicate the time of his contemplated return to Alabama was the words, "I hope to be with you soon."
 Governor Jelks says that the weather at Las Vegas is far better than he had dreamed. He tells of a very paradoxi- cal temperature which exists in the sun and in the moonlight over the canons near Las Vegas.
 T sit on the edge of a canon here in the sunlight and view scores of peo- pie skating on the compact snow be- low" writes the Governor. And where I sit the temperature is often 100 degrees" The letter further on explained that from this hot station of the mercury In midday the liqrid drops to the freezing point at night.

Appeal to GInners of the South.

Editor The Advertiser:
 What does the low price of cotton mean to the South? First. it means 9. loss to the holder of cotton to the amount of about $50,000. 900.
 Second, it means or cent cotton for the next two years, which will bring privation and want to the cot ton grower of the South. He today is in position to protect himself as he will not be again for some time to like a beast of burden, take the hit offered him, that he may be prepared to be ridden to poverty and want?

EXCISE Water Bills.


 This is the quarterly period for a great many to get hot in the collar" remarked a citizen who held his last water bill in his hand.

The explanation always made is waste somewhere, but no matter how careful in shutting off water and seeking to economize, the excess Is sure to be sent in for pay ment If many people pay more than double the allowance for each quarter the Water Company ought to be a very handsome money maker for the city.
