Every Southern Member of Congress
in Favor of Legislation Demanded
by President
SOUTH WILL BE BENEFITED
Unfair Rates Haze Prevented Growth
of Cotton Factories in South
ern States

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 27.- The
Picayune has begun canvass of the
southern dem ocratic members of Con-
gress OH President Roosevelt's plan to
give the interstate commerce commits
sion authority to fix maximum railroad
freight rates. So for every member of
Congress heard from has declared in
favor of the legislation demanded by
he President.
Congressman j. Sharp Williams, Of
Mississippi, says:
Mr. Roosevelt is doing good and
brave thing in maintaining his un.
compromising attitude on this quest
ion. The south will benefit more than
any other part of the country from the
proposed legislation. We would have
been manufacturing, in my opinion,
two thirds of the cotton OF the United
States today, but for the existence of
unfair an / preferential rates, chiefly
ON the raw material CD its way to the
imlls.
Among the others who expressed
themselves in favor of rairload rate
Legislation are Senator Culberson of
Texas and Representatives Watkins
and Robertson of Louisiana.

E. R. Pirtle unhesitatingly said that a sewer service furnished by a pri- vate corporation would prove to be cheaper than the present system from start to finish.
 Sewers are something which should be owned by the city and their use given to the people free" he said, "but if Douglas is not now in position to build system and may not be ex- pected to be in a. position to do so within a reasonable time, then I am for Sranting a franchise to somebody who can and will build a system.
 50 far as expense is concerned in this matter, 1t is really a minor con- sideration. The big consideration is keeping of the Douglas of the future as free from disease as it has been in the past, and this cannot be done if the use of cesspools is continued much longer The expense, too, l believe will be less with a system which has to be rented, as any pri- vate corporation would require, than the present system. The cost of dig ging the pool in the first place is con siderable, and when the pool gets full the cost of keeping 1t clean will be a task which will require a consid' erable expenditure of money; more, believe, than would be required to rent the service from a private cor ooration."

Review News Bureau

Review News Bureau. Lowell, Oct. 26. This town continues with the mar yelOus growth which has excited the wonder and admiration of visitors dur ing recent months. On all hands the sound of hammer and saw arises. Bus iIess is growing daily in all lines, and population S steadily on the increase. The outlook is exceedingly bright in every way, and business men and property owners feel the utmost con fidence in the future.
 Justice Court proceedings have Leen confined to Q few disorGN rly cases of small importance during the present week, the town being on it's good be behaivour. Considering the number of saloons operating here and the population of the town there is comparatively little disorder. a fact that speaks well for the town.
 Construction work on the Whaley- SCott-MaTks building has commenced in earnest, and is to be crowded along with all possible speed. The build ing will find immediate tenants on completion, there being demand for additional quarters of the kind that it will afford in the town despite the ex- tensive building that has been done during recent months.
 The basement of the big Whalen building has been leased for restau- rant purposes, and will be occupied ty a first-class place just as soon as the fixtures can be installed. It will be operated in connection with the Bonanza Circle Hotel, which has the upper floors of the building.
 Mrs. c. Mcguire has commenced the erection of a neat four-room cot t1 ge on the Lowell addition.
 Mir. Root. of Michigan, who recent ly purchased ground from Messrs. Johnson and Wallace opposite the Brophy corral, will commence at once the erection of a s4,000 building on the property.

Great Gathering of Democrats.

The Democratic State Central Committee
met in Baltimore on Thursday. The intention
of the party was to hold State Convention in
July or first part of August, but the Baltimore
City Primary Election law made it expedient
to hold the convention later, in order to avoid
any possible complications that might cause
irritation or give rise to adverse criticism as
to the primaries in that city. The committee
left the date of the convention to be deter
mined by Chairman Vandiver, but fixed Sep
TENDER 20 as the possible latest date to be
named. The Chairman was also authorized
to appoint an executive committee of twelve
to conduct the campaign aud to appoint cam
paign county committees as he may desire.
The meeting of the committee was the oc.
casion of the gathering of nearly all the most
prominent Democrats in the State, and of
very many of lesser influence. The lobby and
corridors of the Eutaw House, where the
meeting was held, were packed, and the scene
was more like the gathering for State con-
vention when a full State ticket was to be
nominated and there were rival candidates for
every position.
The outlook for the adoption of the fran
chise amendment was the leading subject of
conversation. Opinions and predictions were
to the effect that the proposed amendment
would receive much larger vote than the
Democratic strength. If these opinions and
predictions are approximately correct the
amendment will be ratified by very large
majority in the counties.
Senator German was at the Eutaw House
during the meeting, and bis room was crowded
for several hours by persons calling TO do him
honor Senator Rayner was at the hotel, and
also ex. Governors Jackson, Brown and Smith,
all Of whom were greeted by friends aud adj
mirers.
Chairman Vandiver entertained the COM
mttee and many invited guests at luncheon,
and this feature added much TO the good feel
ing of the occasion.

A Few Facts.

There are over 500 negro voters in Carroll.
Of these about one-f fifth are on the assess
ment books.
The whole are assessed for total Of S45. :
628.
They contribute, or are supposed to, about
$1,000 the support of the State government
and about $267 to the support of the county
government.
The colored people constitute about one
sixteenth of the population of the county.
They cause about one-half Of the criminal
expenses.
Twelve public schools are maintained for
the coIored people, at an annual cost many
times greater than the whole amount of State
and county taxes paid by colored people, in
GLIDING coIored women, Of whom forty-three
are on the assessment books.
Some white voters are assessed for double
the whole amount of the assessment Of colored
voters. The white man thus assessed has one
rote-the colored people east .tice hundred
rotes.
The white voter is a man of some education,
discretion and independence.
The FIVE hundred colored voters, after forty
years of freedom and open public schools are
still in a somewhat benighted condition. Four
fflhs pay no taxes, some cannot read the bal
lots they cast, and few or none show intelli-
gence in public affairs.

The Sentinel Against the Amend
ment.

The Sentinel has answered and stated its
position as being opposed 10 the adoption OF
the proposed amendment 10 the Constitution
limiting the elective franchise.
One reason for its opposition is that the ne.
groes have been voting for thirty-ive years
and there has never been any danger Of bad
government from their use of the ballot In
fact, says the Sentinel, the negroes rendered
a service to the State in electing Lloyd
Lowndes Governor in 1895. What vast
majority OF the white voters Of the State
thought of that great service in installing a
Republican State government in Maryland is
told By the defeat OF Iowndes for reelection
in 1899 BY twelve thousand majority and the
election of a Democratic Legislature. The
opinion of about seventy thousand majority Of
the white voters Of the State is against the
Judgment Of the Sentinel.
The other ground for the Sendnel's oppOsi-
ton 10 the amendment is, that 50 long as the
ignorant negroes are permitted 70 vote there
is danger to the corrupt p Democratic ring $
hold on the State government. That the
DefDOcrAkic teANcIs ~ MAI gaAu@ toNstiiutS q
corrupt ring is only imaginary with the Senti-
mel? Unless il believes all mea who take an
active interest in behalf of Demoeratie princi-
plies and policies are corrupt, It has no shadow
of ground for supposing that the Democratic
leaders are a corrupt ring.
Is not Mr.. German as uprgh, and as honest
as Mr.. McComas? Is Stone better than Raj
sin; Wachter purer than Gill; Jackson parer
than Vandiyer? The Sentinel knows they
are not. And il knows that in point Of ability
the Republican leaders do not measure up
with the Democratic leaders.
The Sentinel's grounds for opposing the
franchise amendment are very himsy. They
will not bear analysis. They cannotstand the
test of reason. Their weakness must be APP
parent to every intelligent voter. Even the
illiterale voter would perceive their fallacy If
read 10 him.
The weakness of the SentineI's position is
attributable to having bad cause. And it
will find il uphill work to array the white Re-
publicans of Carroll in opposition to meas
ure that means an elevation of the electorate,
a cessation Of the immigration of worthless,
ignorant negroes from the Virgiuias and Car
olinas, and continued good order and peace
in the State
