pEFyINc FATE.

The Charlotte Observer is incorri- gibie. as this paragraph shows:
 The Montgomery Advertiser thinks that The Observers recent defense of the Gaekwaf Of Baroda for having said that the American weemin folks are not so tarnation beautiful as he had been led to imagine, Is an in- stance of Drawing fate. This IS what been mar remeSered rmsHnase with an invitation to the dollar dinner The Observer Is candidate for Carnegie medal as q consolation prize.
 rarty named Ajax who defied the iightnings of Jupiter. but he was not in 1t with the man who defies the women of America. That Gaekwar fellow de- clared that the beauty of our women had been very much overrated. and The Observer agreed with him. thus putting itself up as disbeliever in the superlativeness of American wo- manhood. If that isn't tempting fate we are mistaken.
 The Observer, as 1t intimates in the paragraph quoted, is sour. not to say disgusted. by the failure to receive an invitation to the Bryan reception Its contemporaries have been guyng 1t ever since it let out the secret of the slight and it is sore over 1t. Just why it failed to be invited when invita- tions were sent to 80 many who are much less worthy we do not know, but probably some dominating member of the invitation committee had a spite against it and took it out by ignoring the paper. That. however. is no ex- cuse for it's chinaing in with the foreig- ner in his slightng remarks about the beauty of the women of this country It may defy the Bryan committee but when it defies the lightning of Ameri- ca,s daughters it is riding to bad fall. Better be careful

The Advertiser has made no rash claims In this campaign and has not carried on a game of brag and bluff. Now within three days of the battle of the ballots. it desires to say that from every direction comes the most encour- aging news as to Dr. Cunningham's prospect for success. His friends are enthusiastic and his messages to hts supporters sound like bugle blasts of victory. He has single handed, made glorious fight in the face of a com pact organization which has been at work for two years past, in misleading and misinforming the people, and which has been backed by unlimited amounts of money with which to carry on their propaganda. In spite of all this. Dr. Cunningham has aroused the sense of justice and patriotism of the people and from present indications. they will call him to the Governors chair.

The latest sea-serpent story comes from Virginia. and we didn't get it from The Norfolk Landmark. either. It comes from Suffolk. and tells how a heavy rain brought with 1t sea-ser- pent. or sky-serpent. whichever it was. that was so vicious and dangerous that 1t had to be secured in a box to keep 1t from biting folks, and is now held for Identification. The somewhat su- perfluous addenda to the story Is to the effect that many who saw 1t went straight away and signed the pledge, and we don't wonder at it. When peo- pie get to seeing dangerous snakes raining down 1t Is high time to swear off. We are surprised that the enter prislng newspapers haven't had pie lures of this late arrival.

From all accounts the young Sultan of Jofore is gay bird. If you look on the map you will find Johore in the Southern portion of the Malay peninsu- la, but the young ruler spends most or his time in London, where he also spends his money lavishly. but It comes easy. He has a great gambling casino at home, something like Monte Carlo, and from that he draws immense sums which he spends elsewhere. He, evil dently believes in getting all h3 can out of life

Great Change in Public Sentiment.

Mobile Register.
 Thanks to the scientific discovery of
 the method by which yellow fevor Is
 disseminated and to the great sani-
 tary fight successfully waged last
 year in New Orleans. we nave now
 reached nearly the end of the sum-
 mer months withodt a fever scare.
 The public Is better informed; 1t Is
 not now afraid of a danger of un-
 known origin; it has confidence that
 should the fever appear 1t will be
 condoned and suppressed. A year ago
 the appearance of a case of fever in
 town in the South would have put it's people into great excitement, been the
 cause of general quarantine restriction, and of much loss to every community. We know better now; and, unless the fever in the Louisiana town should escape the watchfulness of the phy- i sicians there and spread beyond con- trol, there will be little further talk about it. Even now pr. Tabor of Tex as and Dr. Hunter of Mississippi, who last year were ready to take the most drastic steps against all places show | ing even rumors of fever. have now
 come to see that the danger is spe- cific or local to the place where it l appears, and that there is no necessity ! of applying quarantine to case like pened in the South equal In It's inn | attitude toward the fever. It means | thousands of dollars saved 10 the 1 South. 4 very serious bar to the gen l eraI welfare Eas been removed and we can regard th,s future og the gulf | States aS assured.

CuNrrNcHAM,s WAY.

Cunningham has not asked one per son in Alabama to vote for him during the whole campaign. He has perhaps not written single letter asking for support. He has not solicited nor re- ceived one dollar on which to conduct his campaign. It has been run and win continue to be run without money. When the millionaire and his corporate helpers are turn6s loose thousands of dollars. Cunningham is contenting him self in making his fight with his n4c- essary travelling expenses. some litera- ture and postage. These three items alone are sufficiently large to make great drain on his purse. The cam paign-swil cost him probably three or four thousand dollars while Conner and his rich friends will doubtless spend ten or possibly twenty times as much Any one can see that in Corners case. money has been like water and that in the interest of the alleged railroad environed ana controlled Cunningham no money is being spent at all The story early In the game given out and continued that the railroads were sup porting Cunningham and with their means, has fallen to the earth of it's own weight It is not true as any man may now understand.
 The uprising for Cunningham has been the natural result of fair un- derstanding of his character which early in the contest was so covered with misrepresentation as to produce false idea of him. The voter is learning to know that he is one of the finest characters that any state can boast and that he is so high-miHded that not only will he not stoop to do a dirty thing, but he will not stoop to do small thing. and he would not do this If to do it would elect him Governor of Alabama! That the people are chang ing to him every day Is not surprise. 1t is the natural result of the campaign which he has carried on.
 He Is winning. The voters are learning to know him better every day. He Is leaving behind him from county to county a warm enthusiasm which is growing stronger and widening every moment of time. The people meet him. They listen to him and they love the man. He has sredt human quality. He loves his fellow men. Mir. Conner. The Advertiser thinks. lacks this quality He Is not man to have personal fol- lowers. He is now regarded and has al- ways been regarded as narrow, cold. arrogant and selfish. As Cunningham goes around he leaves warm hearts be- hind him. They would like to see him again. Mir Conner does not produce that result.

 corporations furnishing Cunningham the money for his campaign Is tom my rot" and demagoguery, or else 1t Is pure ignorance. If any corporation has furnished one dollar to Cunning hams campaign, some of his most in- innate friends do n0t know it, and if his friends and allies have been sub sidized," 1t has been with patriotism and admiration for a high-toned cam paign and not with money. When money ceases to flow in campaigns like pr. Cunningham Is conducting, a purer atmosphere will be breathed in Alabama politics.

 The Roanoke Leader of this week says:
 Some months ago Lieutenant Cover nor Cunningham delivered a public po- litical address in Roanoke. The edleor of The Leader sent in to The Advertise CT a complimentary notice of the oc- casion, which was published verbatim. Two weeks ago MT. Conner made speech in Roanoke. The same corres- pondent forwarded to The Advertiser a news article concerning the speech, which article was about half as long as the Cunningham GomHnunieation. and which set forth candidly the size or the crowd and the tone of the speech, concluding with the statement that from the information received by the correspondent Conner would carry the county by a considerable majority. This article was published except that the latter sentence was omitted.
 We beg to emphasize the fact that The Leader admits that The Advertiser printed every word of the communi- cation above referred te as to size of crowd. line of argument of MT. Conner etc. Its complaint is that after put ting the actual news, we omitted to publish a mere opinion which we had a perfect right to do and still be per ceetly fair.
