PLEA TO USE ALABAMA MARBLE.
State Geolosist Says 1t Is Good and
Should Be Used IN All Improve
nnents on Capitol Being Made,
or Anticipated, at Mont
gonery.

A special to the Montgomery Jour
nal says that DR.. Eugene A. Smith,
state geoIogist, has made plea for
the use of Alabama marble in the i'm
provement of the capitol. Writing to
the secretary of the capitol commits
sion, he urges that the merits of the
home product be fully investigated be-
fore any contract is made for the work
in which marble will be used. He says:
II write to beg you to insist upon
Alabama marble being used in all the
interior decorative work. If you do not
believe that we have the marble to
equal any in the country for such pur-
poses, just take a trip to Sylacauga
Birmingham look at the wainscoting
being put upon the old Florence hotel
If the capitol is decorated with Geor-
gia marble or Tennessee marble or any
other kind of marble than the Alabama
marble it will be the greatest pity of
the times"
After going into the matter of the
ability Of the state 10 provide the
needed marble and in such shape as it
will be acceptable, DR.. Smith con-
cludes: 1.-The establishment at Sylacua-
ga could no doubt furnish all that was
needed and in time for it to be uesd.
They certainly would make strenuous
efforts to get the advertisement which
such use would bring them. l do not
think any other. marble will be used in

Louisville, KY, June 13.-Home
Coming Week, the greatest state event
ever known in Kentucky, began today
and the city seems TO have doubled its
population. A generous share of the
six hundred thousand native Ken
tuckians scattered all over the United
States and the rest of the world, have
come here 10 accept the famous hos
pitality of Louisville and to help in
making Home Coming WEEK a grand
success. Former Kentuckians, who left
their home state many years ago and
had never come back on a visit, could
not resist the cordial appeal of the
Commercial club, under whose auspi-
ces the great reunion is held. and it is
safe to say that Kentucky never held
as many Kentuckians as at present.
1t was a piece of good fortune for
Louisville at the new arn1Ory build
ing, which is the second in size in the
United States, was completed in time

er building in the city would have been
adequate for the purpose of offering
sufficient room for headquarters for
the various counties Of the state.
1t was TO the armory building that
every arriving Kentuckiah was escort
ed by special committees, which await
ed the arrival of every train entering
the city. The arrangements were per-
feet and everything worked like clock
work. Thousands of the visitors had
arrived in the city during the last two
or three days. but every incoming train
brought an additional contingent of
sons and daughters of the Blue Grass
state
The forenoon was mainly devoted
to the reception and registration of the
| incoming Kentuckians. BY noon. when
the opening meeting at the armory was
called to order by the president of the
| Commercial club, the enormous drill
| hall, occupying the center of the mag
| nificent structure was filed to suffo-
cation. Henry Watterson, the veteran
editor of the Courier-Journal was
greeted with deafening cheers, when he
arose to deliver the principal address
of welcome His speech sounded the
patriotic keynote of the sentiments
which prompted the Commercial club
TO arrange for the Home Coming OF
all former Kentuckians. 1t was a re-
markedly eloquent address, stirring

THE DRAINAGE SCHEME.
Miami Man Assessed Five Cents p

Proposed to be Drained is
NOTWITHSTANDING Yet
Ridiculous Situation.
Jacksonville, June 10. 100,


In a recent communication Waited
s. Graham, a we'll known citizen ~
Miami, gives some exceedingly infer
esting personal experiences he has has
in connection with the drainage tar
stating that he was assessed five cent.
per acre on one hundred acres al.
uated the mouth of New River. wber.
the drainage board intended to ber;,
it's operations. The land was pracn.
cally worthless. to begin with, becaun.
during the period Of high tides II IL
largely submerged. The proposed
drainage operations, instead OF bene-
fitting it. would result in increasing
the depth of the water upon It. And
Mr. Graham states that large acres cf
land thus taxed exists in asimilar
condition all along the Atlantic coast
The absurdity of such a situation
would be amusing If it was not 70
serious a matter to the individual tar
payer.

Governor Broward insists upon pro-
ceeding with haste 10 undertake a work
the full extent OF which is yet prob
lematical. the probability of success in
which is yet uncertain, the ultimate
cost of which no one can even approx
imately estimate. Because cooler-head-
ed men propose that he shall take no
further steps toward construction until
he has data he can rely upon, and that
the legal questions involved shall be
first settled, not afterward, they are
being feverishly denounced. When OBJ
lection is made 10 the plan of saddling
on few property owners in one sec
ton the cost of what will be either a
benefit to the whole state or else a
detriment 10 its progress by putting
upon il a heavy debt for a so-called
Improvement" which may turn out to
be no improvement at all, certain
thick-and-thin adherents of the gov
ernor shut their ears and impugn the
motives of those who counsel thought
and investigation. Why is not some
other argument adduced than that the
governor promised TO advocate the
measure before his election? Suppose
he had promised TO annex the moon
to Florida? or something else equally
impossible? He is an enemy to his
state who endeavors 10 stir up the pas
sions Of the people in a matter which
calls for the most thoughtful delibera-
tons, by appealing TO their prejudices.
Suppose company of capitalists were
to begin the construction of a railroad
without either preliminary or location
survey OF the route. The steps Gov
ernor Broward is taking and those his
defenders insist upon are equally as
absurd as such way Of building a
railroad.-Times-U Union.
