LET IT BE DONE.

A special from AIbertville, Ala, to The Manufacturers Record gives the information that a company has se- power of the Locust Fork of the Black Warrior River They calculate that they will be able to control which can be easily and quickly con which can be easily and quickly con Eeyed to Huntsville. Birmingham and much cheaper motive power than can be obtained from steam. The corre- spondent further states that some of the electric power thus developed will be used to operate an electric railway between Birmingham and Huntsville. and openA up in Jefferson. Blount and Marshall counties some of the finest timber and agricultural sections af the State.
 This Is another move in the direction of cheap and easily managed motive power, and there should be no doubt power to the towns and cities of the country is but one or the great advan- tages contemplated by this project. A look at the map will show that a prae- tically direct road from Birmingham to Huntsville will traverse large section of country now destitute Of railroad facilities, and a splendid sec tion of Alabama. Not only will it af- ford quick and easy transportation for the people all along the line, but will give them convenient markets, for such a road can be used for freight as well as passenger service. It will be both a profitable and useful line. and should be built. The new company should lose no time about the work and that is but one of the many simi- lar industries that will soon be under way in various sections of the State' for electricity is the thing.

VILLAGE DESERTED.
Tn Solitude of Woods is Being ObIiter- .aAaA hrr XEeeAs and IIuAerk krIaah.

 Hancock Special to New York World.
 Hidden behind the precipitous rocky bluffs of Point Mamainse, on the north shore of Lake Superior, lies the once thriving village of Mamainse. long a deserted town of former comfortable homes and weH-paved streets. It stands in the midst of a thick wood and except for the occasional hunter or prospector 1t is never visited. It has some fifty dwelling houses, besides other buildings. nearly all constructed of fine white pine, and a shaft house, stamp mill and reduction works.
 Near the site of this deserted town is an old and abandoned copper mine, the attempt to open which explains the existence of the village the last remaining vestige of the folly of an English corporation, backed by a mint of money. The outcFoppings of min eral were rich, and on the strength of this showing. even before the shaft was started that was to open the sup posed copper deposit, the corporation buiided its town and stamp mill and reduction works.
 More than million dollars was ex- pended in this way, and at one time there were more than 200 men on the pay roll, Money was spent lavtshly, Long and beautiful drives were laid out in the virgin forest. and a steamer line was established between the town and Sault Ste. Marie. But copper was lacking, and the enterprise failed to
 
 The corporation was called the Que Lake Superior Copper Mining Com pany. Operations weie conducted for several years, and in 1884 were sus- pended indefinitely, since which time the town has been abandoned to un- derbrush and weeds. The buildings remain standing, denuded of doors and, windows and open to the snows and' rains.
 It was not expected by the last group of people which departed from the place that the village would be de- Serted; in fact, the majority of the houses werS left furnished and the big general store well stocked with goods. For a time watchmen were employed to protect the property against thieves. but finally they. too were recalled, and all was abandoned to It's fate.
 As soon as 1t was discovered that no one was left to take care of the mill, shops, store and houses, a systematic spoliation was organized, and plunder from the town was taker away by the boat load.
 The mining claim, together with the entire tract of land, comprising 6,100 H. Hummer. of the Canadian Soo, in liquidation of a claim of some thou sands of dollars.
 The main street of the town is a mile in length. remarka ble fact in connection with the houses is that, al- though never painted they today look almost like new buildings The quail ity of the lumber used is probably re- spensible for this. The plaster, too, the frost or rain. There is not one among them that is not quite as clean ly as the ordinary tenant house in the cities.

To reform the orthography of our language Is q tremendous undertaking and will not only require the combined efforts of we'll informed and intelligent iin- guists and scholars. but 1t must be a work of time. patience, mutual con- sessions, and probably of experiment tation. It cannot be done by Presi- dential order, and especially when that order comes from a man as It, tie qualified to give 1t as Roosevelt IS.
 If this order is strictly carried out will it not make the administration and the government ridiculuusf Some of the proposed reforms" 'are ridic- uIous in themselves and should never be adopted. To have all the govern .ment stationery sent over the country and to all parts of the civilized world printed in a way that will lead to the impression that some crank is at the bottom of it Is not an alluring pros pect. It will be far from adding to the dignity of our government, but will rather arouse a feeling of disgust and opposition. Roosevelt has made many blunders. but none more inde- fensible than the two last.

 Two negroes snatched a couple of leather souvenirs from a stand and trampled them in the dirt. Policemen tried to arrest them In saloon and fight ensued.

Many were painfully hurt on
 If "2,00O whites and blacks of both sexes" can become involved in a rough and tumble fight from such a cause, we don't wonder that Northern folk are opposed to the emigration of ne- groes into their States or that some of them frankly express the wish that the whole race might be penned up in two or three of the Southern states. where the climate is unsuited to white men, and from which all the whites could be induced to emigrate.
 The chief objections to this engag- Ing plan are tndt tnefe dre no ouu1u ern States with climates unsuited to white men, and none from which their present white citizens would be will ing to depart for aiy reason. much less in order to save Northern folk from being annoyed by the proximity of negroes. Moreover, a steady and increasing emigration of the negroes Northward is in progress, and 1t Will be necessary for the white people of that section to provide against race riots and other disagreeable events in some other way.

TT IS GOVERNOR CONFER.


 The Alabama primary for choice by Democratic voters of those who are to fill State offices for the next four years has been held. and whatever may be the result. it will be ratified at the general election in November. At .--is time there can be no correct estimate of the number of votes cast, but it Is very evident that 1t is shamefnliy small Out of a registered vote of largely over two hundred thousand white men. less than half of that number felt enongh interest in the governmental affairs of their State to take the small trouble of going to the polls and casting their votes. Nine tenths of the grumbling about condi- tions comes from this class of non- voters. but they will have no right to complain. no matter what kind of officials may be in of1ce. Until the great bulk of voters in Alabama take more interest in elections the work ot the demagosue and politician will soa- tinue.
 The race forNseveral important posi- tions seems to be very close and the result may not be known for several days. It seems. however, to be ses- tleds that Mir Conner is to succe.i Gov ernor Jeiks in the administration of the executive ofice. Whatever of op- position The Advertiser may nave rlaGe to his nomination was inspired Dy the highest feeling of regard for the tn- terests of the State, and to prevent, as far as it could, the instai,uient n high places. of one idea officials. The majority of voters have not agreed with the views of those who gave loy- al and patriotic support to lieutenant Governor Cunningham. As patriotic citizens they must bow to the inevi- table, and seek in every way possible to aid those who are successful ia conducting affairs of State. as long as they are conducted upon proper lines. The Advertiser sincerely hopes that it will be able to say for Governor Co., mer, that in his administration of af- fairs he has agreeably surprised those who doubted his fitness for the office of Governor. No matter what may have been our pronounced views in the past, we will be more than glad to sustain any and all movements look ing to the upbuilding of the State, by increasing it's population, adding to its revenue. comforting the old sol- diers. educating the children and saw ing others of them from the horrors of child labor, slavery. There is too much required of Governor to justi- fly him in converting that great office into bureau of dissemination of pe- culiar notions or of seeking means to punish opponents. It is a great of- flee and nothing ignoble or unpatri- otic should issue from its portals.
 We have been on the losing side in contests before this,. but have the consciousness of feeling that whether in victory or defeat our highest aspir- atiens have been to aid in advancing the honor and prosperity of the State We look to the future with abiding hope that all will be. we'll and that all antieipations of evil may fade away as the morning mist. This is 8 con- summation for which all Alabamians may well work without ceasing.
