A Rpconp or wonw.

Tn this issue of The Advertiser will be found modest announcement by Hon. Richard II. Clarke. candidate Tor Senatorial succession. of some of the things accomplished through his ef- forts while a Representative in Con- gress. It shows what can be done by persistent and intelligent effort. All the Items enumerated are of great val- ue to Alabama. while one. the rural free mall delivery system Is blessing to every community in the entire un- ion.
 To the extent that the means of transportation are extended and cheap ened to the same extent is commerce at large benefited. His successful ef- forts in opening Alabama waterways and improving Mobile ,harbor are helps to the farmers and merchants and bus iness men of the State and the coun- try at large.
 The Mt Vernon arsenal, which he secured for the State, without it's cost ing the State a cent has solved one of the most serious of our great prob 1ems, that of proberiy caring for the negro insane. The whites had filled the accommodations at Tuscaloosa and it was better every way. that the hos pftal for the nesroes be located at another point. How great has been the good accomplished in this matter by Mir. Clarks we'll directed efforts ;s testified to by pr. searcy, the able Superintendent of the Alabama Hos- p'.nls for the Insane.
 MT. Clarke has demonstrated what he can do in Congress. and has the right to think that if he should be given the opportunity of again enter ing the public service he can be oi great benefit to all the people of our State.

It Is n False Cry.

 Now, this cry that Mir. Conner is mak- ing and claiming to be the candidate of the people is nonsense, as 1t will eHect them very little, if any, on freight ratc reduction.
 If the farmers will investigate this question thoroughly they will find out that Conner is not the friend to them as he claims to be. and all his prom act of his own, and he comes before you with all of his past promises he made to the people of the State, while a candidate for President of the Rail- road Commission broken, and upon these broken promises and failures to do his duty. he asks me people to elect him to the highest position In the State mans ability is not deter mined by what he promises to do in inc future but by what he has done ii ~Bv their fruits ye shall know them 7 And this Is the only way the &ood hook tells US to judge anybody

NO UNION.

When the question of Statehood was up in Congress. and when the adm-n- istration was using all it's power and zona and New Mexico 1t was confi- dentiy asserted that the inhabitants of both these territories were ready for union and joint Statehood There were many who didn't believe anything of the kind. and in spite of all the gress refused to force Arizona into union with New Mexico against the wishes of the inhabitants of the for mer.
 Later events prove that those who opposed the enforced union were right In their position. In the language of contemporary:
 So intense was the opposition in Ari- zona that the leading Republican newspaper In Phoenix advises its party friends not to nominate joint It does not advise this course as a punishment, but explains that in most of the counties It will be impos- sible to elect any man to office who is hood
 TO this The Tucson Citizen adds that no person who gave aid, comfort and support to the joint State scheme can be elected to office in Arizona ! this year "An overwhelming major l ity of the people of Arizona are op- posed to jofnture. and will settle with I the tointists at the ballot box"
 These newspaper expressions are re- inforced by others equally strong and 1t is announced that one of the leading newspapers in New Mexico a1- ready admits the defeat of the project The fact of the matter Is that there was never any defence for the posi- ton taken and stubbornly maintained by the President and Speaker till they found that their insistence would ac- complish nothing There was no good reason for forcing a union between oklahom and Indian Territory, as ,tc that matter, but that was far less ob: jectionable than 1t would be to force the people of Arizona to unite with the New Mexicans. That would have been an outrage. and those who tried to bring it about are now learnig theiI mistake,

The AbbeviIle Times very pertinent Iy asks, If Mr. Conner has Cunning ham so badly beaten, why should it be necessary for him to come back into the counties where the Doctor has been? It will no doubt be a close race but the Doctors friends feel con- fident that he will win.' Mir. Conner has claimed every county in the State. but they don't stay carried. He has been spending several days recently down in Barbour county where at one time the boast was made of prac- tIcany unanimous sentiment in his favor. He is learning something to the contrary. In the last eighteen months MT. Conner has been over the entire State two or three times and he is still covering territory at a John Gilpin rate. Mir. Corners frantic efforts and still more frantic utter ances are indisuutabIe evidences that he begins to see the handwriting of defeat on the wall.

ts Way of Preparing for Defeat.

ASnNlll6 ASRlS.
 The Birmingham News becomes more desperate daily as it sees the Democracy arousing itself all along the line, and inevitable defeat staring 1t in the face. No such politics as it disseminates can possibly succeed among an intelligent people. 1t tried to start a row against Miller on a lit- tie scheme of terrorism of its own con- ception; but more recently, perhaps at some ones suggestion dropped that for the fanciful silhouettes of Its fer, tile ina agination for the grotesque Of serio- comedy in politics 1t has charged the o9d game to Demooratic counting out to defeat Conner. Its last picture is without visible substance to any eyes but its own, as 1t produces not the slightest coloring in the back ground to prove that 1t has any. place among the real. We mean that no authority backs its statement, and the counties are not named where the counting out is to be done, and are without the opportunity of refuting a charge that would be infamous if true. But this Is The News's way of prepar- ing for defeat.

Ten days ago The New York Mall was felicitating over the fact, as 1t then saw 1t. that there was no longer division among the Republicans of that State 'The long and bitter fight has been won!'' It shouted and fgura- lively waved it's hat in the air. In an editorial just two or three days ago it gives evidence that much of it's cocksureness has vanished, and 1t writes somewhat doubtingly about the differences and animosities between Higgins, odell and others, and doesn't speak at all as if 1t considered the fight won. The Buffalo News is an- other Republican organ that doesn't seem to see much harmony up there, and we suspect that the reason it fails to see 1t is because there is none to be seen The time would be ripe for Democratic success in New York this year were 1t not that Democrats are no more harmonious than the Re publicans are. That's what's the matter with them.

A NEW ISLAND.

That our earth and its inner contents yet contain much of mystery which geoiogists and scientists are unable to solve is fact beyond dispute. In all times and all the regions of earth events are continually occurring which the wisest of mankind cannot satis- factorily explain and which none of them can predict
 Not the least puzziing of these phe- nomena may be reckoned the volcanic islands Many of these lodies of land, some of them of large area. give unmistakable evidence of having been thrown up from the depths of the ocean. In various parts of the world there are islands which are known to be of volcanic origin. but when they were thrown up, or when volcanic C. tivity ceased are beyond the power of man to say with any degree of ac- curacy Instances have also been known where an eruption has begun in mid-ocean and continued until an is- land of volcanic rock and lava of con- siderable extent has been formed, but in a short time it sinks and all traces of 1t disappear.
 One of the latest of these phenom- ena is now reported to have occurred in BerIng's Sea where steaming mass of rock six hundred feet high has lately come up for the depths. But little Is known of 1t as yet, and it has not been stated whether the eruption has ended or whether it is stili gc- ing on. Nor can anything but the passage of the years decide whether 1t will sink or remain to eventually become a permanent island. The Aleu- tian group or chain of islands, 1.s0o miles long and numbering more than | 15o separate bodies. give indisputable evidence that some of them, at least. iare of volcanic origin. and it may be that fine entire group was spewed up from the sea at some remote period, just as this new one was formed. Speaking of this occurrence The New York Tribune says
 There are at least two we'll .renem--
 bered precedents for the incident | | One of the Bogosioff Islands, which l lies about forty miles to the westward i of Unimak, began to develop in i795i l though it was not distinctly recog-
 nized until the following year. It Is Il not likely that the operation of lifting
 1t up from the shallow sea extended l through a period of several months, 1 The second islet of the Bogosloff
 group made its advent in 1883, and i at the same time a volcano in Cook S Inlet (St. Augustine) emitted fire and dust, and was subjected to earthquake | shudders The distance between the two centres of disturbance Is greater than the interval which separates Mar i tinique and St. Vincent, but like Pe- lee and La Souffriere, the new Bogos- loff and St. Augustine may have been
 situated along the same fault in the earth's crust. The unnamed islei
 whose discovery has just been an nounced lies 155 miles to the north I west of Unalaska, and may bear the
 same relation to the volcanoes of thai
 island Inasmuch as these seem tt
 have undergone no notable change ol late, however, 1t is possible that tht
 stresses which gave rise to the recen
 modest upheaval affected only a linn tied area. Both Unaiaska and Unimal
 experienced what night be eaile1
 "synpathetie strikes" when the Hrs
 of the Bogosloffs was formed.

SUNDAY. AUGUST ID, 1906.
WHOLESOME LEGIsLATIoN KILLED

Mir. Conner is at times as eloquent, as he can be. in denunciation of the delays of railroads in settling for overcharges on freight and for lost goods. That there should be law fixing the time within which such claims should be adjusted will be generally admitted. It is one of the greatest sources of complaint on the part of the public, that they have to wait so long before they can obtain settle ment of these matters and law regu- lating the whole business as to time etc, would be very acceptable to all parties concerned
 In the last Legislature where Mir. Conner had many active friends and into play for certain legislation we have no record of any effort on his part or his advocates to secure such legislation. All of their attention was given to securing an elective Railroad Commission. bill to meet the wishes of the public, however. was in- trodueed by Mir. Waddell of Russell county. To be explicit. 1t was an sxact copy of the Georgia law as to payment by railroads for overcharges and lost freight It was clear and ex- picit and fully met requirements. It gives satisfaction in Georgia and would do so here. That bill was referred to the committee on common car q rs ~ committee according to Mir. Conner. dominated by railroad influences. Not withstanding this charge of MT. Conner that committee made a favorable re- port on the bill.
 It would seem that under these cir cumstanees that bill should have promptly passed the House. On the contrary whenever MT. waddell sought to get the bill up for passage some friend of Mir. Conner objected to pres ent consideration. When we say friend of MT. Conner" we mean a mem Der who was active in support of oth- CT matters which Mir. Conner favored.
 If that bill had become a law one of MT. Corners issues would have been killed and he would have had that much less on which to go before the people. MT. Conner don't want issues settled-he wants them kept open to aid him in his campaign for Governor.
