He Is the more conservative. will come nearer pro- tecting. every right and interest of the finding fault with evory Democratic administration since the days of Hous- ton. MT. Conner was not satisfied with mittee-the action of the railroad. our greatest factor in the development of resources, and, in fact. the greatest mares. He would be satisfied, at least, he says he would, If he could run the State from cellar to dome for four wears. Such a chronic fault finder and a man who has such desire to rule the whole show, does not deserve the support of the voters Of any State.

R. H. CLARKE AND FREE DELIVERY
He Was the Originator of the Systen. Birmingham Age-Herald.

 The blessings of rural free delivery in Alabama are appreciated along nearly 500 established routes, and It will certainly interest the people who are served each weekday along those routes to know that the first bill call ing for the rural free delivery of mails ard H. Clarke of Alabama. This was done in January, 1892, and from that bill has sprung the great system that is bringing the farmers and other resi- dents in the country in daily touch with the busy world by carrying to advantages of the postal service. It is not necessary to recount how much in the way of public education and in commercial advantages has thus been brought to the homes of those who were formerly more or less isolated. routes understand these things.
 MT. Clarse's bill of 1892 was not passed. but an order was at once issued by the Postmaster General to make ex- pertinent on the lines of Mir. Clarke's bill. The experiments were. m fact. solicitation. In 1893 Congressman Thomas E. Watson introduced Dill to appropriate $10.000 for the experiments in rural delivery already begun, and in this way tho system was started.
 All the facts were brought out by proceeded 10 show what Mir. Clarke had done and what the Democrats were entitled to credit for Mir.

It has been somewhat irreverently said that the Almighty foreknows everything except the verdict of petit JuEy, and some of their verdicts almost make one inclined to doubt any foreknowledgs in their case. Some of their findings are decidedly amusing when we come to view them from ev- cry side, and sometimes juror mad vertently lets out things they had bet ger keep dark. A contemporary tells of q ease up In Kansas where man was being tried for a minor robbery. The evidence was strong but the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty and when the unconvicted accused went over to the jurors and began to thank them one of them gruffly replied: ssThat's all right; you escape this time, but don't you ever steal anything else."

More Attention for the Neglected
 Streets.

Editor The Advertiser:
 VIII you kindly allow me enough h space in your columns to say a few words about the streets of the city? I have looked in vain for some one more gifted with the pen than to write cp the terrible condition of Montgomery's streets and her principal streets afe nearly as bad as the most unimport- ant ones, too. They are full of holes brick-bats are scattered over them, ijl some places the rains have washed ditches clear across the street. and in many places the car tracks are very much higher than the street, and tc cross them suddenly in a vehicle IS lia- ble to break something.
 I have watched automobiles going rapidly and as they would jump into the holes and jump out again it scene as though the occupants would be thrown cut and what keeps the ma chine from going to pieces Is mys- tery to me.
 I myself have to ride all over the city every day in buggy and am bly rough the streets are and I hays had to pay out considerable for repairs caused by the constant jolts.
 If Montgomery expects to have a think she could do a more wise thing than to build good smooth streets sC when a stranger rides over them It will he pleasure for him.
 No one except those that have Io ride over them daily, have aEy idea how rough they are
 I don't want to cast any reflections on the city. authorities, as they may b. doing all they can to make things bet ter, but I do think the City Council should provide more money and sufi- cient men to put the streets in first class condition.
 Take ride on Montgomery, Clayton Sayre. Washington or any other street (paved streets excepted) and you will be convinced how rough they are

Letters to the Editor.
1Ae Pspsr sfin Propo.ition.
EYergreefl. Ala, July 3, A9UB, The Advertiser.

D Editor The Advertiser:
 I congratulate the enterprising busi- ness men of your city on the prospect of securing the establishment Of pa per mill to manufacture paper out of cotton stalks. In the year 1900 we hau in our town for several months an ex- pert paper manufacturer who pro. posed to erect mill and manufaetyte paper out of saw dust and slabs of the saw mills in this section. The matter was discussed in our Commercial Club and l suggested that cotton and okrs stalks would be preferable as they would require less manipulation and could be obtained more eheaD.y. In the same diecussion l also suggested bagasse and reed cane which grows so hbundantly along all the streams ir Middle and South Alabama. The ex- pert referred to made some experiments nounced them all feasible and valuable for the manufacture of first class pa per. We did nothing towards erecting 2 plant here for lack of sufficient cap'- later and he told me he was in charge of a mill in Louisiana nnanufacturing paper out of rice straw. In the year 1901 while In Erie, Pa, found locatad mills in the world owned and operated by Germans who brought their plant and operatives from Germany on ar- count of the scarcity of raw material on the shore of Lake Erie in order to have an abundant supply of clear wa ter and to procure suitable wharfage for the wood which was brought across the lake in their own vessels from Can ada. I became acquainted with the attorneys of those people and through them suggested the use of cotton stalks, cotton seed hu1ls and sugar cane bagasSe as cheaper and betfer materials than wood pulp. At their request when I returned homs I sent them samples of the above materials so that their chemist could test t'.em also stated to them that the South is the place for paper manufacturing and suggested Montgomery on account Of It's central location In the cotton belt In the. fall of 1901 I conferred with firm of real estate agents in Montgor1- cry with a view to procuring a suit- able site for the erection of paper mill but could not obtain one, and I am somewhat doubtful about there be- ing a suitable one in your city. A.- other serious obstacle Is lack of euf- ficient water of the right kind. It is true you have the Alabama river but 1t Is unfit for use In paper manufacturing without 1t Is filtered and that would b. an extra expense. That YOU have the geographical position and a suficiA.. f supply of the right kinds of raw ma terial there is no question and I hope that all other obstacles can be over come and the plant permanently es- abolished in your city. We have the best and richest country in the worlI If our people could realize 1t ana then utilize the means at hand.

Of course, only Demo crats can participate in a primary of that party. but to make the matter perfectly clear we re-publish the fol- lowing provisions adopted by the Dena- ocratic State Committee at its meeting which called the primary for August 27th:
 second-That such primary election be held under the rules and reBula- lions prescribed by the act of the Leg- islassssnrss of ,s.,aS Ala6ama; approved ost1ess primary elections in the State or Ala 1903, pp. 356-365 inclusive.
 sThird--Be it further resolved, that all white voters who are qualified elec- tors under the law Of this state, and who are Democrats, shall have the right to vote in such primary election, proyidsd however that S Pssrsenn P'sr nsa wao cratic party in the last State and Con xYessfonal elections or voted against any of them, shall have the right to vote in said primary.
 Fourth--Resolved further. that each and every person voting in such pri- mary. shall by the act of so voting and participating therein, stand as pledged, and in honor bound, to support all the nominees of such primary in the eiss- ,- nominees are nominated therein.
 This gives both the legal and poiit- teal requirements and shows very clearly that Democrats only can vote in the forthcoming August 27th pri- mary.
