faith was misplaced. but that does not detract from her devotion. When | nothing was known and when the
 country had about given him up for lost she adhered to her belief in his powers. If he had been successful she
 would have been justified in her faith.
 As he failed. but not through any faul' of his own, she has nothing to be ashamed of for having believed.
 And now that Peary has been com. municated with and will return homo in safety. it may be asked what he has accomplished and the reply must be- nothing. He went about half a degree
 further North than any previous ex. plorer had done. but he was still seven
 or eight hundred geographical miles from his objest. So far as can be seen
 nothing is gained by his effort. The Pole is as much an undiscovered land as 1t was centuries ago. We know no more of the region surrounding it than
 we did before. nor. so far as we can understand. have we any better know ledge as to the means of getting to it. Peary may have learned by his exper- ience something about what is requir- ed in such expeditions, and another effort may advance the line further than he did, by a degree or so, but that is all. A full report of his expedition may give some details of importance, but so far as can now be discerned, the world is about where 1t was before, so far as the Pole is concerned. It still remains an inscrutable mystery and bids fair to remain so. unless some bet ter method of overcoming the difficult ies can be discovered.

4 PRODIGOUS RETURN

 To New Yorks sultry breeze, When landed he with lordly mien. Fell down on humble knees; And loud his praise acclaimed, And Speaker Cannon skulking near Low bowed his head in sname. The ready Democratic mule. Was led up to the wharf; And Bryan quick his back bestrode,
 Another shout, and they're off,
 The Whepa Hmt news sWspt was Sky ea In harmony all factions joined, To, make him President! Repubs. sore 'fraid, retired from view Upon a far back seat. And wondered what in Hades to do,
 This old-new King to beat; But Taft his eye did .slyly wink, To him who understood, And said, Don't lose your nerve. old / He hasn't yet made good!" The words are rolling from his mouth, In matchless, silver flow; See how the people hold their breath! He sways them to and fro! They yell; Iithsy they weep, they whoop, they .,r, They toss their hats in air; And Bryan everywhere! But. Hark. what awful thing is this. The King is saying now? Behold change on every face,
 A cloud OCT, spread each brow!
 And run by Uncle sam"' Then rose from Democratic throats,
 A joint and might "Damn!' The Solid south begins to howl,
 With howl which sore afTrights, Twill bring that old thing up again
 The question of States Rights!"
 The Democrats look glum. For in that speech so mildly put,
 Our Bill touched off bomb But still by warnings general sent,
 The leader was not stumped, For quickly rolling up his sleeves,
 He on poor Rogers jumped: And stirred up war within the camp,
 Which was so quiet and still, How could you. could you be so rash!
 Oh, Bryan, Bryan-Bill. q told you. so." ,winks bulky Taft.
 .'I knew it too" says Ted, ''The Democratic fire is out.
 That mighty chief is dead." That little thing is settled now"
 The cannon shoots in glee. Tt looks as if a certain chair,
 Is yawning hard for mel Oh. Bryan, Bryan, please be good,
 And keep your mouth tight shut, We have enough hard work to do,
 Without this party smut. Will you keep quiet and lead us on,
 To glorious victory. Or. talking, blast our cherished hopes,
 And lead us back to sea,

FOUND ANOTHER ONE.

They have found another big one, this
 time out in Wyoming. Fact is, they have found a whole lot of 'em, but one | Is especially interesting. Under the | direction of Dr. H. F. Osborne. Pro- lessor or Paleontology in Columbia Col lege, a huge mass of rock was blown from cliff in Wyoming and in it l was found a whole nest of fossils that nobody, at least of late days, knew ! anything of. Among them is the re-
 mains of brontosaurius, meaning thunder lizard" for short, though we don't know why they call him that. but
 let that pass This one, when he was
 roaming among the wilds of Wyoming, was between sixty-five and seventy feet long and probably thirty feet tall. He was as long as three or four elephants and probably weighed as much as the whole bunch would have done.
 These scientists are wonderful citi-
 zens. As The Savannah Press says. they sometimes discover "a hoof or a
 foot or a backbone and from their
 knowledge of animal life go to work and construct the missing parts and draw valuable lessons of existence in
 that era. They develop these speci-
 mems with great skill The brontosau- rus is supposed to have lived millions of years ago and to throw a flood of light upon the condition of the world, at least this part of the world, at that
 time. Dr. Osborne's prize is bigger game than anything that President Roosevelt has captured in the wild West. Dr. Osborne is a man of wealth and culture, who is devoting his time
 and means to the study of evidences of animal existence on this continent. It is on account of the disinterested and scientific efforts of men like this that the American Museum of Natural His
 tory is rapidly forging into recognition
 tions of the sort in the world. Its ex-
 petitions have been liberally supplied
 with funds and inteiIigently directed"
 Of course an attempt to fix the date when this overgrown lizard rambled and walloped over regions where his be known, and any attempt to fix the date when he was planted is largely guess work. As we understand the case we may as well say he died one million years ago as 70 say that he may not have been dead a thousand years, though the scientists claim the ability to make better estimate than that. Be that as 1t may, this one is very dead, and we have cause to be thankful that his kind left before we got here. He meet in the dark.

They had lynching up in Pennsyl- vania last week. The victim was d woman and the lynchers were some more women. After tieing her hands they covered her face with stove pol fish, emptied a can of molasses on her head and the contents of feather pill low on the molasses, then marched her to railroad camp and tied her to a log, where they left her. Would it be safe to allude to these women as a mob? .t- a..- .+

THE PATH OF DUTY.


 On Tuesday next elections will be held in forty-two States, and Alabama is included in the list. We all know the issues here and that Democratic success is assured. If the Republicans were united and had agreed to sup port the ticket put out at Birming- ham, there would be no danger of 1t does not absolve a single Democrat in Alabama from the duty of going to the polls and voting for every State and County nominee.
 This thing of refraining from talk ing part in elections IS doing Alabama . serious damage. It gives our ene- mics the opportunity of contrasting the full vote cast in the North and West, with the meagre vote cast in Alabama and some other Southern States where Democratic nominations are equivalent to election. Our critics are not.<a enough to admit that the two parties have out tickets in the North and fight for votes until the close of the polls on election day. In- stead of doing this, they pretend to believe that our light vote is due to a suppression of votes, and they use it as an argument for reducing our rep Sesentation in Congress.
 As The Advertiser has repeatedly shown. scarcely half of those who have complied with every requirement., take the trouble to vote. We earnestly ap- peal to all Democrats to throw off their indifference and act the part of citi- xens interested in good government by voting their party ticket from top to

A State Fair In Truth. Cenferville Presa

It was in deed and truth a State Fair, and every person who attended felt that they were fully repaid for the time and expense in way as to please the people. is one that will always get the attractions and the people. The press wants to congratulate the management of the Fair on the success that they made. Next year the attendance will be still larger than this year.

 The use that the negroes made of the day assigned to them at the State Fair will doubtless result in much good to that race, and serve to tighten the white man's burden in the South Negro improvement and negro educa- tion have been preached everywhere, but have been well nigh yaluless be- cause the details of the rise and edu- eralities of the theorist. It was sim plicity of the practical suggestions of speeches in Montgomery that give values to them.

Wanted Two Weeks of 1t.

All the Elbians have safely return ed from the great State fair at Mont gnmery: all report an enjoyable occa- sion. From what The Clipper hears that the mistake the fair -fflcials made was in not having the fair last two weeks It is true that if It mad lasted two weeks there would have been ! larger attendance, but it is hardly possible that the attendance would have been twice as large as it was; so there would have bean only lit-
 any one time, and the hotels would have heen able to shelter the crowd in a much more satisfactory manner.

Warm Praise for CuIlman.

The State fair at Montgomery was success. Considering the limited time in which the management had to complete grounds and buildings and it was d great success. here were many good features and some good exhibits in all departments. but there were none that appealed to US as did the Cuilman county exhibit. It was merveleus revelation to us. Fruits: vegetables. grains and cotton. canned clarets and all from Cullman county, Only few years ago the county was looked upon as one of the very poor est counties iE ths State, rom an az ricultural and horticultural stand point Today she outranks and easi :. 1y leads her sister counties in Ala bama.

AN EXPLANATION

As agents for the Mems Shoes of Clapp's manufac- ture, we have to pay prob ably more for them than is paid for any line of fine shoes that are sold to the trade; consequently we have to get more for them; the price being fifty cents to a dollar higher.
 MT. Clapp is continually raising his prices, having gone up another twenty five cents on the Spring samples now being shown, but it seems the higher he goes the larger the orders, and therefore nothing can be said, for he cannot turn out the orders anywhere near on time, which has been a serious dra wback to the dealers; but when they do come, there is no criti- cism to make as to stock, workmanship or style, for that has all been anticipat- cd and others trouble sav- ed, and all one has to do is to behold an artistic crea- tion, the best which the knowledge of today can give.
