It was reported in S'tt.sPaul yesterday
that an officer. Of the Wisconsin Cen

that. the Rockefeller Interests had ac-
quired controlling interest. in that
road and are financing the extension
from Ladysmith, Wissfto Superior and
Duluth, and are .alseS financing the ex
tension Of the Duluth, Rainy River &

iron range, Of which the Rockefeller
interests own large areas.
John D. Rockefeller is said to have
principally directed this project which
has, it is understood, brought the Wis
consin Central under his control by the
purchase Of stock. It is alleged that
all the northern lines, the United States
Steel company's road, the Great North
ern and the Northern Pacific, have re:
fused to haul the iron ore of the Rookie
Teller mines, and that the purchase of
the Wisconsin Central or controlling
interest in the road is for the purpose
of getting an outlet to the ports of
Lake Superior, Milwaukee and Chi
cago. (
Authority Seems Good.
That John D. Rockefeller OF the
| Standard Oil interests are back of the

ran STREET CAB sIruArIos.

TaE STREET CAR SITUATION.
 The readers of The Advertiser are familiar with the action of the City Council some weeks ago, and the pass age of an ordinance requiring the { Fraction Company to provide separate cars for white and colored passengers. It will also be recalled that Mayor Teague wisely vetoed the ordinance and that the Council promptly passed 1t over his veto.
 The public is now face to face with at least an inconvenient situation. The time has arrived for putting the or dinance into effect, and although he opposed it to the extent of vetolng it, the Mayor holds that he has no other alternative than to enforce 1t. Acting on this idea, he has given orr ders with which the Traction Com pany managers must comply or have their cars stopped. This will be the situation this morning. If the com pany holds that they can not comply, then there win be cessation of car running unless the courts are appeal cd to and injunctionsa aobtained which will allow them to operate until judi cial decision can be obtained.
 At the time the Mayor vetoed the ordinance The Advertiser said tfte Fraction Company had not dealt fairly with the people of Montgomery, but that there was no call for this particu- lar action of the Council We had plenty of cause of complaint against ,the Traction Company over matters which it was in it's power to remedy, but in this case, there is to be ser ;aous inconvenienee to the entire com inunity.
 There is no city. in our knowledge which has such a requirement. as is ,to go into effect here today, Separate places are assigned to white and coll ored passengers elsewhere and 1t can be, and is done here. It means, if this ardinance goes into effect, doubling ahe time between cars on every line in the city. If there is now a fif- aeen-minute schedule which white pas isengers can avail themselvse of, the or- ninance will compel a thirty minute schedule, because every other car that lcomes along will be for colOred pas- ,aenxers and for them alone.
 The ordinance in our judgment. is ,unwise and it Is to be regretted that nhe Council did not sustain the Mayors wetO

The L. and N. Railroad.

Ensley Enterprise.
 What would this country be without railroads, and where would Birming- ham, Ensley and the great industries located in this district be had it not been for the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, the first road that ever went through this country?
 We don't belong to that class that look upon railroads as great heartless monopOlies; on the contrary, the great projectors of railroads are as a rule the patriotic citizens of a country, and when the roads are built, equipped and operated, if successful, it is because practical far-seeing men are in con trol--men who know that their sue cess lies in a hearty support of their customers. The L. and N. has year by year added to its prosperity, until to- day it is one of the great highways of the world. Every department of this great corporation is ably managed but none better than the legal depart ment At the head of this department in Alabama is the Hon.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
SENSIBLE ADVICE.

 Farmer. e.

From a Sensible Dallas County Negro
 Farmer. t Editor The Advertiser:
 l am a colored farmer here~in this locality, and if you think proper please allow me a small space in the columns of your valuable journal to say few those columns upon honest toll There is general complaint over the South of the scarcity of labor. We have plenty of good labor (colored) in this country. but instead of contentings themselves to work on the farm many have emmigrated from the farms, and all of the Southern cities are damned full of them. My words are directly to them, and will say: Scatter your selves back to the farms and make an. honest living by honest toll, You will be in a better shape for living with the white race. Remember this is the white mans country, and the colored race can be disallowed to live in this country without a certain degree of honesty and race pride. All of the Southern cities are so crowded with you, all of whom have to live and eat bread, and there is not work for all of you to do therefore to keep from starv- ing you are liable to commit crime Then you say it is wrong for you to go to jail. Also may in these few words urge the colored preachers to preach this to their people---to scatter out from the city and go back on the farm, rear a family and make an honest living.

fault of the elders that their children are no credit to them. but perhaps our common human nature has some thing to do with t.
 But this does not detract from the somdness of The Leaders reasoning as to the demand for good negroes and the opportunities before them. In every industry throughout the south there are places, good places, for the honest. sober and industrious negroes They are not only needed. but wanted On the farms and in the mechanical trades they will find profitable em- pioyment. The labor famine in the south. especially on the farms. exists because there Is scarcity of reliable workers There is large overplus or undesirable and often dangerous ne- groes in all parts of the south. most fly in the towns and cities. but the country has it's share of them.
 Because labor is scarce, and because reliable labor is in demand. are potent reasons why good negroes can find plenty to do and good pay. but they must be in all respects reliable and they must be negroes who are willing to work. There Is no call here fer ne- gro politicians. There exists no ur- gent demand for negroes who will quit their work to attend a political meet ing and listen to the loud d-fhouthed ranting of colored demagogues who are too-lazy to work and generally too worthless to obtain employment. There is ne cali for negroes who had rath- Ter go out and hear speech, attend parade or join in political gathering than to work for living.
 Of this kind of negroes we have too many for the good of the country, and for the peace and well being of both races. The good negroes should as- sert themselves and cut loose from the evil classes They should depend on and be advised and governed by the Southern whites who are their best friends The white men of the South stlll have their old kindly feeling for good negroes. They will not only em- ploy them but will protect them and help them. Their services are needed all over the South. but if they wish to obtain and retain the support and con fidence of the best white people they must deserve it. In short, there are good placs for all good negros.

sOoD NEGROES IN DEMAND.
From The Roanoke Leader we copy the following meaty paragraph:

NAAS
 There is. fine opening in this southern country for the right sort of negroes. The negro race never had such "a chance as 1t has today. The uegr8 with sense, industry, honesty ana sobriety who is willing to follow tbe lead of the best white people, and stand out against laWlessness, Is In demand. and success is awaiting him.
 We reprint this. not only for it's sound good sense. but because 1t is a subject which may we'll be enlarged upon. Notwithstanding the extent of crime and idieness and vagrancy among the negroes of the South the great majority of the race are dispos- ed to do what Is right The evil class reflects discredit on the entire race to a greater extent than is just to them They are not all bad Especially IS this true of the older ones of both sexes. Among them there are many good negroes. but they are handicap ped and to some extent -discredited by the trifling vagabonds and criminals to be found in every community, and who are very largely of the younger generation. To some extent it Is the
