more than two or at most three days Is . self-evident proposition, as likewise is the fact that but few editors can af- ford to pay hotel bills and incidental expenses in q city for a longer period; therefore. the plan that seems most feasible is the selection of some place on the gulf coast and going into 8 reg ular camp.
 General Stanley. in discussing the matter. thought that the meeting of the Association could be held at the Sea Shore Camp Grounds. near Biloxi. the date to be selected being the week im- meetings that are held there. arrange ments being made for securing the cooking utensils. table ware, etc. MT. Nunnelle of The Centreville Press. who, by the way, is the originator of the suggestion. thought that perhaps ar engagements could be made at Coden.
 The place, however. is immaterial. The plan is to hold the meeting from. say, Thursday until the following Tues- day. thus permitting the editors of weeklies to get out their papers and attend the meeting without suspension Of an issue. Daily sessions of from to could be held when business mat ters would be discussed fully and freely. The afternoons could be given over to social gatherings and the nights to 1ec- lures. etc. The plan embraces week on the order of "A Chautauqua." with e program of interest and amusement, and. withal, the accomplishment of something of substantial good for the Association.
 Your opinion and the opinion of oth- CTS would indicate the sentiment feft by the members on ahe plan.

IS EXPECTED TODAY
GOVERNOR JELKS MAY REACH
 HERE THIS MORNING.
He Was in Memphis Yesterday and Left There Last Night for Bir- mingham--May Go on
 ta Eufaufa,

State officials are in almost total doubt as to when Governor William D. Jelks, who is expected in Montgomery this morning, will occupy the execu- tive chair. The convalescent Governor spent yesterday in Memphis. That much is known, and unless he decides at the last hour to stop over in Bir- mingham he should reach Montgomery this morning at II o'clock on the south bound Louisville and Nashville Rail- road train.
 Although Acting Governor Cunning ham yesterday morning had a long distance conversation with Governor Jelks, he did not ascertain the day on which the latter expects to take hold of the reins of office. Governor Jeiks talked from Memphis. He had reached that city yesterday morning from Kan. sas City, and is believed to have stayed over until last night at an early hour. when he left over the Frisco route for Birmingham
 If the Governor left Memphis last night he will arrive this morning In he determines to stop a day or two in Birmingham. perhaps to visit Mrs. Cabaniss, his sister, he should catch the Louisville and Nashville train and ar- rive in Montgomery at Il o'clock.
 As there is a veil of mystery about the intentions Of the Qovernor, neWAy developed, whereas from his first mes- sage to State officials 1t was judged he would go into office upon arrival in this city, there are persistent rumors that the Governor will stop over in Mont gomery only between trains and may take the first train for Eufaula for an indefinite stay.
 Acting Governor Cunningham has everything in readiness to turn over the office to the incoming executive.
 Governor Jelks Is accompanied by his wife. and Miss Catherine. Jelks. his daughter.

tuition tinker. If he knows what he is talking about. those fathers of ours were the poorest makers you ever imagined Is there any part of the thing they made that Bryan don't want to change. and don't believe he can make betterf If SO. wish you would just cite chapter and verse.
 The election of Senators by the States is the federal feature of our government. and the glory of it. It is the flower of that dual system that Is the despair and the mystery that has plagued and puzsied all the ehancelries of the old world. Surrenderit, and the government becomes wholly na- tional, something that was abhorrent to every Democrat from Jefferson down. until Bryan came around with his agrarianism and his socialism.
 Whenever the people study Senatorial elections in the light of the constitu- tion and the statesmanship of the fath- CTS, election of Senators by the people will go the way of ie to l. There Is even less sense and more danger in 1t.

BOER WAR SPECTACLE
WILL ARRIVE IN M0NTGOsxnnv
 THIS MORNING.
General Piet Croajs, the Here of rnar. denburg, Heads SIX Hundred Mens Who Wfll Repreauco
 the Scenes of Boer War.

Headed by General Piet CronJe. the hero of the Boer war. the great Boer war spectacle, which drew thousands at the Worlds Fair at St. Louis, will arrive in Montgomery at 8 o'clock this morning.
 The 600 men and the vast herd Of horses, which comprise the actors Of the spectacle. played last night in Mobile and from the Gulf City they will come to Montgomery to instruct and entertain the people of the capital of Alabama by reproducing engagements in the great struggle between Britain and Boer.
 Immediately after their arrival in Montgomery. the actors in the spectacle will hurry to the Highland Oval h&se- ball ground. where the first perform ance will be given at 2:so o'clock this afternoon
 Tonight the members of the company will again re-enact the scenes of the days when the sturdy burghers of Che Transvaal fought for their iiherky against the almost resistless power of the Britieh Empire.
 The central figure of the spectacie ia General Piet Cronje, soldier, statas- man, farmer and patriot. General Cronje for forty years served the Boex nation. He fought the wild tribes of Africa in the early days of the Bosx Republic. He assisted in the defeat of the British at Majuba Hill. He was aD important factor in bIghting the hopeS of pr. Jameson in his famous raid. Ha was the secretary of the interior ko President Kruger and when the finaf struggle for liberty came. he commands ed the Boer Army. which after brit. liant resistance of the tremendous force commanded by the famous Lord Roberts, surrendered to the inevitable.
 As & lion hunter, he Is also famous and many monarchs Of the jungle have fallen victims to his prowess with the rife.
 General Cronje is accompanied by many of the officers of the Boer army as well as several commands of the victorious empire.
 The most impressive of the scenes of the spectacle is the reproduction of the Battle of PaArdenburg and the surren- der of General cron5e. After the battle is reproduced as accurately as possible. the white flag is hoisted and the gxiz- zled old hero rides forth at the head of his troops and surrenders to the British commander.
 The final scene is a clever represen- tation of one of the famous General De- Vets daring escapes when hemmed In on all sides by a superior force of British. This spectacle affords good opportunity for the, Boers to exhibit their remarkable horsemanships at which they are unexcelled.
 The spectacle plays Montgomery two days with four performances.

 The number Of new stacks now be- ing erected will increase the product of pig iron more rHpidly during the next year than ever before. and under nor nal conditions the product of 1905 will reach 100000 tons.
 
 The people down here love to conn pare their industrial situation and prospects with those of Pennsylvania and to point out the enormous advan- tages which the manufacturing indus tries of Alabama enjoy over those of the Keystone State. The output of pig iron in the Birmingham district last year was just about the same as that of Pennsylvania twenty-five years ago. The present output of Pennsylvania is between 5000, 900 and 9,000,000 tons but that is a mere trifle compared with what Alabama expects to produce twen- ty-five years hence. and. indeed. the advantages here are marvellous.
 This is the only place in the world where coal, iron and limestone can be dug out of the same hillside. Alabama Is the only place where coal and iron ore lie together in any quantities. There are furnaces in this district which pay no transportation whatever on their raw material. The coal, the Iron and the fIuxing material are brought to the furnace by gravity, and pig iron can be manufactured for $5 and even $4 a ton. It is now selling at $16, and they tell me that Birming- ham pig iron has not been lower than S9 since the town was started.
 There are sixty furnaces and fifty one coal mining companies in the Bir- mingham district, and none Is situated more than eight to ten miles from the other They do not finish much of the product here, but with the proposed consolidation all kinds of mills are promised There are several manufat- tories, but the great bulk of pig iron is shipped to Pittsburg, Chicago and other manufacturing centers. They have only tried to do the easiest thing.
 Birmingham expects to outstrip PittsburE within the next ten years. and to dictate the price of every ton of pig iron and every ton of rails that is sold in the United States. If not in the world The people here boast that today Birmingham makes the price for the United States, and frequently for the world, and they ask what can be expected from a place which has many times as much coal and iron as Penn sylvania and lacks only stell plants, which any man with capital can build. The coal production and coke of Ala bama during the last five years was as follows:

 The time for the annual meeting of the Alabama Press Association ap- breaches. It is my intention at the meeting to be held in Sylacauga to pre- sent to the Association a plan for the meeting in 1906 that was discussed to some little extent during the enjoyable trip to St. Louis last year. I have long been convinced that the annual meet ings of the Association could be made of more material benefit to the members than they have been in the past and the suggestion that a longer session would bring about better results appealed to me at once.

 washin gton. March is.-When the Fifty fourth Congress was first con- yened. nearly ten years ago. there was a man missing, and in his place was q great void, that has not yet been, and will not soon be, filled. There was man there who answered to the roll- call, and for ten years. nearly, he has gone through the motion of nlling Wtl- liam L. Wilson's place in the American Congress, but about the only purpose he has served has been to empnasize the fool part West Virginia played in retiring from public life the one first class man West Virginia has produced. AS an orator Wilson was superior to Bryan, and little inferior to Cochran. As scholar he was the peer of George F. Hoar and Cushman K .Davis. Who that heard that triumphant oration in reply to Thomas B. Reed, in February. 1904, dared to dream that West Virginia would deprive the country of the ser vices of this admirable man. But she did. So did she, and so does she re- pudiate debt she honestly owes. and great an injury as she visited on the country when she took her greatest man out of Congress- When Steve Elkins, another capitalist of West vir- rinia. wants to build e railroad. or open a mine or clear a forest. he goes to New York for the money, and when he has opened his business he Is met with this question: How about those bonds you State refuses to payr He stands dumb.

Delaware was the first State to get into the Union, and for ten years has been showing that she is yet worthy the Rodneys. the Claytons, the Bayards and the Saulsburys of her prouder years.

If we had adopted the new-fangled. anti American. defederal plan of electing Senators. ten years ago. the unspeaka- ble Addicks would now be serving his second term in that body. Instead, Delaware has preferred. and does pre- fer. no Senator to Senator Addicks.

That is a miserable spectacle in Mis- souri. There is a State that for four score and five years has been conspicu- ous in the Senate-old Tom Benton set the pace. Even the Republicans sent John B. Henderson and Carl Schurz to the Senate from Missouri--giants both. Is it any wonder that even Republi- can Missouri kicks when an unht man is put up for the Senate, just as Ken lucky did some years ago, though Ken lucky did not escape, as it Is to be hoped Missouri shall? The Republi- cans are in a minority in Missouri. It was the Bryan men who gave the State to Roosevelt and the Legislature to the Republicans, and the Republicans cam not hope to hold Missouri If they send an unfit man to the Senate. The Ken lucky Republicans might have held Kentucky If they had elected Carlisle Senator. Instead. they preferred to be bossed by Hunter, and under his lash sent Deboe to occupy the seat of Clay Crittenden. Breckinridge and Beck. Such a layout as that couldn't hold Kentucky if it had no opposition.

When Lincoln was President he ap- pointed a Mir. Jackson Judge of a dis trict court of West Virginia. and 1t was only the other day that Judge Jackson, perhaps the oldest man on the federal bench. and certainly the judge of long, est service on that bench. retired and left a big plum for the West Virginia Republicans to scramble over. They scrambled--as usual. The late Ben Harrison declared that they were a very hungry and very thirsty set. and Mir. Harrison had some experience as . pur- veyor of plums and was a good judge of such matters. The man who suc- ceeded William L. Wilson in Congress was appointed to succeed Judge Jack son on the bench. 1t appears that the new judge has the appointment of a clerk at salary of $2.B00, and all West Virginia Republication got into . stew over that. 1t was printed that the Senators and members from that State were up in arms because the new Judge had determined to appoint a certain individual. and there was talk of holding up the confirmation. But the next day things quited down. This matter of $2.b00 clerkship was wres- tied with by the titanic statesmen from the 'Caesarian' State, and is composed. The protocol of peace is reserved from the public and held as confidential.
