WAR WITH CHINA.

The war cloud has loomed up rath.
cr unexpectedly, and, as usual, from
the quarter where 1t might least have
been expected, in the prospect of a
clash between the United States and
China. While much OF the news sent
out from Washington IS highly sensa-

purpose the dispatches appear to in.

Aid the Sufferers.

Mobile and Pensacola are able to care for the storm sufferers within their respective borders but the great. est losses are along the south shore outside of Mobile and many families are left destitute Those who have perished number nearly 100.
 Aid Is called for and it should be forthcoming promptly. Governor Jelks has issued a proclamation laying be- fore the people of Alabama the dis dressing conditions along the coast and asking the people in their bounty and prosperity to contribute to the re- lief of those who need aid. The pres ident of the Commercial club of Bir- mingham calls upon OUT citizens to aid the sufferers, and the response will be liberal and spontaneous.
 Montgomery has already donated S1000. Birmingham, by private sub scriptions, will send several thousand dollars to the stricken families.

Suburban Homes.

Moving day Is always busy one in Birmingham and today has been no ex- ceptlon to the rule" said a gentleman from Ensley last night.
 There seems to be a strong tendency on the part of the people to secure homes in the suburbs and there has been a general scramble for homes in the outly- ing districts Since the car service has been extended with excellent service to almost every point in the immediate dis trict, followed by other public convent enees such as electric lights, city water, telephones and other such conveniences. the suburban places are becoming much more desirable for residence.
 Many people of moderate circum- stances are buying and building homes in the outlying districts and this is creat- ing permaneey of citizenship that prom ises well for Birmingham.
 'Home-owners make happy and pros porous people and 1 am glad to see the growing tendency on the part of the peo- ple especially the laboring classes, to buy and build homes.'

Al. EieId,s Mistake

It is said that Al Fields never forgets a face. However. an incident occurred dur ing the last visit of the popular comedian that statement
 It seems that when Fileds visited Bir- mingham two years ago, his minstrel pa rade passed by the city hall while MT Drennen, then Mayor, was leaning out of the window of his office. Fields, looking Up and catching a view of the Mayor s face, cried with a cheerful voice and graceful wave of his hand, Hello, Mel!' One year ago, when Fields minstrel pa rade passed the city hall, and Mayor Ward was viewing the sight from the same window, the minstrel man, looking up, again merrily cried, Hello George"
 Now, 1t Is a question as to whether or not Fileds really remembered having met the chief executives, or whether he was merely saluting them for effect. On this last visit of his, it was neither ex-Mayor Drennen nor Mayor Ward who was look ing from the window. Still, Al was the same genial one He looked up, and sec ing several faces, did not hesitate in his salute. Hello! George" cried he, "come down to the show tonight, 1 am anxious to see you" Mayor Ward was in New York at the time, and the face that was peerng down upon the happy minstrel man was that of Secretary Pepperman. It is told in city hall circles that Mayor Ward, after hearing of the incident, has never since referred to Al Fields in a pleasant vein.

well as of candidate Hughes. and all three have eonspired to commit the republicans of New York to a raid upon southern representation both in Congress and in the electoral college. The men and papers in this state who are aiding and abetting the Hughes combine are aiding and abetting a re- duction of our congressional represen- tation from nine members to five mem bers, with a corresponding reduction In the electoral college. This Is what Hughesism stands for, and those who are talking glibly about Hearstism are entitled to all the glory they can gather from a movement directed against southern representation and southern society and southern control of the race question.

What Huuhe esism Is.

The upstate democratic papers in New York have been boiled, and al most to a paper they line up for Will. liam Randolph Hearst, the regular nominee. Those who are going over to the standpat party are either con, nected with Wall street or else they are angry because they are not per. mitted to control the party.
 No democrat in the south will en. dorse Hughes and the platform he stands on, for amidst it's standpat pro. visions this precious plank appears:
 we are opposed to that inequality which permits one-twelfth of the voters of the United States to wield one-quarter of the pational legislative power through the suppression of the right of franchise, and we favor the enactment of laws which win reduce in just proportion representa- tion in Congress and the electoral college wherever the ballot is suppressed"
 The platform was dictated by Her bert Parsons, the new Roosevelt boss in New York, who has supplanted Depew and Platt and all the crowd that were knocked out by the insur. ance investigations. Herbert Parsons Is the mouthpiece of MT. Roosevelt, as

September's Humidity Record.

September went out with a record of wetness never approached in this locality since records have been kept There were but nine dry days in the month, and the total rainfall approxi. mated fourteen inches.
 When we recall the fact that less than an inch of moisture fell in Sep. tember, 1905, and less than half of an inch in September, 1904, we see at once how wet the month now ended was. The years rainfall in this lati- tude and locality is about 40 inches, and in September we got one-third of the annual average, when less than one-twelfth is ordinarily our lot
 Now that we have entered upon October there Is hope of a lessened precipitation, for a level average is some how reached each year. The ex- cess of September should ensure us a dry October and a dry November, and both are needed in order to let us pick out the fleecy crop. Both September and October are as a rule dry months in this state, and the weather clerk will have to exercise great care If he is to bring us out with an average moisture record.

AN IMPORTED CHASER.

From Harper's Weekly
 In South Africa candles are used for lighting purposes in the homes, and when a young Boer maiden has gentlemen vis- itors, the mother sticiss pin In the can dle. and when it has burned to the pin the callers understand that it is time for their departure.
 Mrs Early, a society matron Of Wash- ington, recently made visit to the Trans vaal, and was so impressed with the cus- tom of the Boers that she determined to introduce 1t into her own home. Conse- ouently the electric lights were removed and candles substituted in the drawing room.
 Mir. Staylate, frequent though not always welcome caller, was one of the first visitors to call after the inaugura- tion of the new custom. He witnessed the placing of the pin in the candle by Mrs Early. and after she had gone, ven tured to inquire:
 .sWhy. Miss Early, does your mother st;clx a pin in the candle?"
 "Oh." responded the young woman with an air of apparent innocence, mother learned that in South Africa as way of sending home the boers.'
