10th Owe Duties to Society. Bessemer Workman

The wealthy and powerful owe a greater duty to society than does the poor man who is constantly in need of assistance and under stress of circum- stances is willing to enter into con tracts that are unjust to himself and impossible of fuliliment.
 This and like causes create a feeling or discord and rivalry between the classes of the rich and the poor.
 Under our present conditions both are necessary. One cannot live with out the other and the revolution which must come in time with the continued growth of antagonism between these classes could be cultivated by a more friendly feeling between them and a recognition of the duties and needs of both to subserve the best interest o1 humanity

Better Here Than Elsewhere.

 Why, even Atlanta, a boasted winter resort, has snow when Anniston has only balmy breezes and sunshine, and Rome, Ga, comes to the front with a four-inch snow that We wouldn't have at any old price.
 All in all, taken as whole winter lacks several degrees being as disagree able here as in other places; therefore what's the use of kicking?

DIversificntlon the Thing.

Our farmers are better prepared financially to undertake diversified farming than ever before in their his- tory, and We urge them to break away work necessary for the restoration of their farms. A farm where nothing will grow except 1t be fed with com mercial fertilizers cannot become a highly profitable proposition, and the sooner our farmers adopt methods that through proper crop rotation will re- sooner viii real permanent prosperity abide with them.

Will Hear Hasterly Presentation.

The distinguished gentleman from Mobile (Hon. R. H. Clarke) will doubt less be heard on the stump before many moons and when he speaks the people will hear a masterly presentation of matters of public interest. There has been so much of cheap demagoguey, unmentionabIe clap-trap in Alabama in recent years that 1t will be a genuine treat to hear a real brainy leader ap- pealing to the thoughtful people of the State after the style of the lamented Governor Sanford.

Regulating Rates. Ressemer Weekly.

It may not be difficult to determine whether a certain schedule is unjust or exorbitant, or whether the rates to certain points may not be discrimina- tory and if such Is shown to be the ly correct the injustice, but when 1t comes to taking the management of the railways of the country out of the place that power in commissioners A or boards either elected or appointed as advocated by Conner, that is crankism gone mad.

Don't Neglect Food Crops.

If every farmer would first be sure of enough acreage of food stuff to meet all their needs at home and then all the cotton they could grow. they would be sure of a rich harvest but if we de- pend on cotton to buy $2O0 mules and corn to feed tham and to buy meat, we are sure to hear again the now obsolete phrase: Hard Times"

Then if the voters are debAuched the officers and government must be corrupt.

The squaaron of Cavalry.

T suppose" said member of the Montgomery cavalry troop yesterday, that the Governor, in a day or two, will order an election of a major in the cavalry squadron to succeed Major VI. B. Atkins, resigned.
 From the present outlook, indica- tions seem to point to the election or Capt. Charles E., Dexter, of Mont- gomery. As far as can learn, he will nave little or no opposition. His friends now count on about thirteen out of the sixteen votes for him and it would be useless for an opposition candidate to announce.
 Captain Dexter Is now adjutant of the squadron. Tn case he Is elected major. some one will have to be elected to fill the place he holds.
 AS to these rumors about muster ing out the cavalry, there's nothing to IL that l know of. The Governor Is friendly to the squadron and believe It Is his intention to do all in his pow bama National Guard"

 The Council meets regularly two times q month but the average of the new Council has been twice a week and have seen the time when they went beyond the average.
 It's the old story of a new broom sweeping clean.
