s'To Get More Business."

Philadelphia Record.
 A Boston department store recently published a communication from one of Its customers who asked. "Why do you advertise so much7 I always buy from you when l want dry goods" The am swer, though couched in more diplo- matic language, was virtually this: We are much obliged for your pat ronage: but there are others. We ad- vertise to get more business--to make new friends. The larger the business the lower the prices" Advertising Is thus not only directly helpful in spreading out before the customer a shopping program, but indirectly in increasing the purchasing power of his money by making possible gem eral lowering of prices.

Monteomery a Conventlon City.


 Have you noticed" asked a progress sive citizen yesterday who watches every step of the city's advancement with civic pride. what a convention city Montgomery is getting to be? We have at present in the city two con ventions of associations entirely dif- ferent in nature and purpose and both associations are those whose member ship runs up into the hundreds.
 If you will look into this thing. you will observe that by the time one asso- citation gets through with It's meeting here, another takes its place. Five or six hundred strangers in Montgomery for several days or maybe week does the city a great deal of good outside of the advertising 1t receives through the press of the country.
 Tt is the universal rule that persons who come to Montgomery to attend conventions are pleased with the city and with the hospitality and thought fu1ness with which they are received. T believe that Montgomery should be especially advertised as a conven. tion city and that every effort should be made to hiring associations of all kinds from the smallest State gather ing to some of the great national con- ventions. When our new hotel is fin- ished. we will be ready to take care of the best of them"

TUESDAY. APRIL IS, 1905.
A sooD PROPOSITION.

The Alexander City Outlook wants to know whats the matter with build ing an electric line between Alexander City and Montgomery?" Nothing is the matter. and all that is needed is cap- ital ay, determination. It would be a good AA.4 paying route and one that is badly needed. The line would prob ably be fifty miles long, and would run through a splendid section of Ala bama. and one that Is badly in need of railroad facilities.
 There would be no trouble aboutthe development of the power needed to run the cars. The proposed electric plant to be established at Sturdivant, on the Taliapoosa River would be near the line and there all the power need ed could be obtained. If that plant for any reason fails to materialize the power could be obtained from TaI- lassee. In addition to that, the pro- posed road would cross several bold creeks, on one of which a plant could be erected which would afford an am pie supply of driving energy for all the cars required. There would be no trouble about getting all the power needed, and so there would be nothing lacking in that respect. The Outlook says:
 Selma and Marion are interested in an electric line and 1t seems certain that such line will surely be built Now, let Montgomery. Alexander City and the intervening towns of Wetump- ka- Equality, Nixburg, ct aals, get to- gether on the enterprise and pull with all their might for its success. We have the resources and power devel- oped and In course of development, and capital is not timid when progressive people are behind this movement.
 Tn another place The Outlook says the people there want competitive freight rates, and that is doubtless true. but it is not all. Between Mont goInery and Alexander City is a large area of magnificent agricultural and timber country which is entirely with out transportation facilities. The peo- pie are no better off in that respect than they were fifty years ago, and an electric line offers the best means of supplying the need. It can be built and equipped at less cost than the or- dinary railroad can, and can also be operated at less expense. It would bring to Montgomery an immense trade that now goes elsewhere. and that our city ought to have. Every way we look at 1t the proposition is a good one.

Nor A FArR PREsENrMENT.

Usually The Boston Herald is fair and conservative, but occasionally some of the bitterness which appears to be part of New Englands heritage will creep out and find utterance. That section of the Union has made wonder ful progress during the last quarter of a century in the way of tolerance and fair-minded appreciation of other parts of the Union, and eventually it may rid itself of all its bitterness and narrow ness, but it hasn't succeeded yet For example. in referring to Judge Par ker's speech The Herald says:
 Judge Parker blundered in calling to mind and attempting to account for the constant devotion of the South to the Democratic Party. He attributed 1t to the Southern sentiment of nationalism and love of Democratic liberty. This South became solidly Democratic not in slavery. when the Northern wing of the party abandoned the glorious tra- ditions of devotion to freedom and equal rights in order to serve the ends of the slave power in It's mad ambition to make slavery national It was not wise for him at this time to revert to the fundamental sympathy of the Northern and Southern Democrats while the Civil War was raging and the integrity of the nation was imper- filed. He could hardly be expected to

JAMES WILLARD

Hardware Merchant From Estevan, Can,

James Willard. a hardware
merchant forty years old, evil

500 flyer, three miles east Of
Carpio, sometime Saturday
night, and instantly killed. His
remains were found about seven
feet from the track Sunday

Carpio and Coroner Windell was
notified. He went to Carpjo but
held no inquest as it was evident
that the man was accidentally
killed. The mans remains will,
perhaps, be buried at Carpio, un-
less word is received from his
relatives.

not badly disfigured, but his
ribs, right arm and right hip
were crushed.
Willard was a man five feet
nine inches tail and weighed
about $50 pounds. He was well
dressed. In his grip were found
notes and contracts relating to
his business at Estevan. People
at Carpio remember OF seeing
him wandering about the streets
Saturday afternoon with no ap-
parent aim and he was thot to
be demented at the time. 1t is
possible that he was tired of life
and deliberately stepped in front
OF the fast going train to end
his life. BY reason oil meal tick
cts found upon his person, it is
thot that he was a single man.
