Knitting a. ! Nerve Cure.

1t ts told Of Robert Louis Stevenson
that one Of the many things he learned
to do to keep him amused when he
was restless or i'll was to knit. There
are many men Of a generation much
older than ours who improve odd mo-
ments by working with yarn and
needles. But women. to be women,
simply must knit after their hair is
gray, and it is good for them. my
prescription. madam, is that you knit
two hours daily" said the physician.
"knit?" exclaimed the nervous patient.
Why on earth should l knit?" The
doctor replied: Because nothing is
more soothing to the nerves: because
nothing conduces to such calm and
cheerful frame Of mind. l could pre-
scribe valerian for you, but knitting
will be better. 1t will do you much
more good. l believe that month of

MONUMENT TO PoCAHoNrAs.

The attempts made in some quarters to discredit PocahontAs will and ought to fail: not that any one would go so far as to deny that such a charac- ter existed. but they deny that she in terposed to save John Smith, or that she was such a warm friend of the white people as writers allege. The fact that Smith himself did not allude to her act of self-devotion in saving his life from Powhatan is taken as conclusive evidence that no such incl dent occurred. This alleged silence on his part would nat be conclusive, even if it were true. but there are contem- porary evidences that he did alIude to it in England. and that the letter was fever made public,

A TIME FOR PROMPT GIVING.

In the presence of such an awful calamity as that at San Francisco, all differences between men are forgotten for the time being. Sect and creed and party must retire and give room for our common humanity and the uni- versal brotherhood of man. Color and race and nationality--all are human, and when great misfortunes come upon a city or community all lines of divis- ion and demarcation are plotted out and all unite in the noble work of reliev- ing human suffering and providing for the needy.
 From every section of this great country comes the same evidence of a Christian peoples sympathy and active cooperation. Municipalities and churches, charitable societies and civic organizations, commercial bodies and private citizens are all uniting with the one object of rendering timely and adequate aid to those who are fin such dire need of human help. All the money on earth cannot relieve the broken hearts of those whose loved ones lost their. lives in the great city. The wealth of the earth will not re- store some of the losses occasioned bs earthquake and fire, for among them were records and mementoes which cannot be replaced.
 But there is much that money can do to alleviate suffering. There are now in and about San Francisco thousands of people who are homeless and desti- tute. Strong men, delicate women and helpless children have lost their all and are without shelter, food or clothing. They have no means of subsistence, no homes to go to and no present way of helping themselves. The authorities, the people and the various organiza- tions of the city are acting vigorously ana promptly for the relief of the suf- feTers, but their efforts can only be effective when means are. placed in their hands with which to carry on their work. The money must go to them from other places. It is already going and much will follow quickly. We feel that Montgomery will not be be- hind in what is really a duty. This city has much cause for thankfulness ,t that no great calamity has fallen on her, and that our people are generally prosperous. To give liberally and promptly to such a cause is a duty. and we feel sure that the liberal-hearted citizens will see to it that there shall be no reason to feel dissatisfied over a lack of subscriptions. To help the needy and suffering is among the chief est of Christian sbligations.

Referring to the fine letter of MT. s. c. Oliver, which is today copied into The Advertiser, The Talladega Mountain Home says:
 The Homo today prints an article from Major S. C. Oliver on the subject of rate reform, which Is so much en- gazing the minds of the voters. As an advocate of rate reform for several years, a large shipper and manufaC- turer, a thorough familiarity with rail- road rates, Major Olivers article should carry the weight that his experience and ability warrant. We commend it to our readers for thoughtful consider ation.
 A letter which MT. Oliver published in The Advertiser last year on the sub ject of rate legislation attracted great attention. He knows whereof he writes, for he was for many years connected with railroads in a capacity that re- quired perfect Familiarity with rail- road rates and laws.

SUNDAY, APRIL a2, 1908.
THEY LIKE DIXIE.

The Mercury, published in far-away New Bedford. isn't afraid to speak right out on a subject that is attracting no little attention. Hear 1t:
 If the truth is told, about everybody with a musical ear has sneaking whistled and sung with satisfaction, while the star Spangled Banner" lacks the quality which pleases the masses ing more uninspiring than to hear an star spangfed Banner" If this be treason, make the most of it.E
 The Mercury is right. While the words of Dixie are not very inspiring, there is a Tilt about the tune that goes right to the spot, so to- speak, and touches all who are not prejudiced against 1t because of its high standing In the South. Unfortunately for the tunes popularity 1t was adopted by this section, and its notes sounded on every battle field where North and South met in hostile array. That should not now be charge against it. for the air itself deserves to stand on it's own merits, and we are of the opinion that 1t will hold its own against all con- testants.
 The Mercury States that when a fa- nous Amherst band recently made a tour in the South, at one place, after they had sung Dixie with great effect, some one in the audience called for the Star-Spangled Banner, but after con- sulting with his singers, the leader was forced to acknowledge that they were not sufficiently familiar with that song to sing 1t. This of itself is sufficient to show the supremacy of Dixie over Francis Scott Keys masterpiece, com posed nearly a century ago. And re- ferring to the above incident. the Chi cago Tribune adds:
 The episode recalls a great meeting in Pittsburg a few years ago when a well-known operatic singer was asked to give the same song. She graciously agreed to do so, but confessed that she did not know the words. On an appeal be found who would hazard the attempt to furnish the atanzas. The truth is that people of foreign countries in gen. eral are much better acquainted with their national songs than are the peo- pie of America. The trouble may lie in defective education, or it may be due to the fact that there Is no agreement as to what is the real national air, or, again. 1t may be due to the inherent - difhculty of rendition of certain songs which do not come within the compass of the average voice.

Advice to Conner.

Selma Journal.
 When making his campaign for the Presidency of the Commission, MT. Co., mer seemed to feel that he could han de the situation If the people would only elect him. Since his election he has spent a great deal of time asking for further help and is now spending his time asking that the people make him Governor sO that he can give them relief. PerhapS if he would study the law as pointed out to him by Judge Coleman and the Governor and get right down to work he would find that he could do a great deal of reforming even now with Messrs. Tunstall and Sanders to contend with. When two men in harmony with his ideas are added to the Commission we are satis- fled he could do a great deal toward giving just rates to the people. The truth is that Mir. Conner quit his fight too soon and he is going to have a hard time making the people believe that he can do as much as Governor as he could have done by standing firm and fighting it out from his place as President of the Commission.

THE SOUTH, AND RURAL DELIVERY

Washington. April 21.--(Special.) )-It looks to be certain that the South will again be the loser in the establishment Of rural free delivery. A study of the partment shows that she is now away behind the other sections of the coun- try in the number of routes in opera There ars fewes from any other section of the coun- try. and greater percentage of re- jections. There are fewer routes in ! also fewer. petitions delayed in con | sideration in the other sections of the country than there are in the South. beggar's portion in the distribution of l free delivery. But that is not the end of her hard luck In that connection, but the beginning.
 It was bad enough to permit the other sections gobbIe up the lions l share in the first instance, but to come now with rule, that will make some some of the Southern States tri-weekiy instead of daily routes will add to the | infamy of the transaction. It has long been the professed aim of the Post office Department to give every citizen | daily mail. Most of them had got ten 1t under the old postottice system. shape of rural free delivery. The ad- vent of this in many case resulted in the discontinuance of postoffices, mak-
 
 routes entirely, and placing them often times as much as ten miles from their postoffice
 Some smart aleck in the Postoffice plea that 1t is too expensive to give d daily mail service on those rural routes which do not deliver three thousand pieces of mail month. and that tri:: weekly service should be substituted in it's stead. It is safe. to say that there Is no community. in the entire nntt nfrrr hat vi nlr- iy iD rursi 'HS Service % to the iel old goto ] the ice-after-your-m system, And yet after they. have surrendered their old was better they are to be deprived of just one-half of their mail service. without the opportunity of getting cipaily the South that will feel the eff fects of the rule. A large number of the routes in Southern States do, not distribute an average of 5000 pieces
 The circulation of trashy papers ana worthless literature Is less in the south than in any other section, while the percentage of actual bona fide mail is larger in the Southern States than in any other section of the country: Hence while the average number or pieces of real, actual, valuable mail Is as great on the average Southern route. as 1t is in other sections of the coun- try. their service Is to be cut down viii remain. According to the figures of the Department there will be ten routes whose service will be cut down in the South where there will be one in
 If the people living along routes in the South which distribute less than three thousand pieces of mail month they can save their daily service. Just let them invest a few cents each in postal cards and answer some of the trashy advertisements In the trashy papers and the increase in the monthly distribution of mail will save their daily service. This may seem strange sugGestion but the end justifies the means, and it will only swell the mails with the same sort of literature tRey are filled with elsewhere.

Have Not Gons Daft.

Cullman Democrat.
 The nomination of Hon. George H. Parker shows that the rank and file of the party has not gone daft on the harangues of the demagogues: The fight was made on MT. Parker that he was against Conner and that he was a railroad lawyer. Such rubbish shows that the author of the argument underestimates the common sense of the people. Whether MT. Parker Is for or against MT. Conner or whether he is or Is not retained by the railroad com pany in suits they have IL the coun- try is idiotic argument for or against him. It is any mans privilege to be for or against MT Conner in his race for Governor and 1t Is a matter of any he accepts a fee in case before the courts. When any man talks such stuff he Is either a fool himself or a knave who thinks he has fools for an audience.
