Macon Telegraph.
 Over in Hale county. Alabama, there are two planters who are making ex- periments with white labor. soms months ago they went to New York and secured a number of Italians Swedes and Hungarians They did not hire them as laborers. but persuaded them to become tenants on the sharing plan. These men, The Telegraph is in- formed, have thus far worked in harmo- ny and in entire contentment.
 What the result of the years work will be cannot now be foretoid, put the idea is novel one. Hitherto, " has been the plan for planters In the south. desiring white labor to guar dollar and half q day payable ir ty case. these foreigners seem to hayc had their industry Stimulated by the tenantcy plan which gives to them q certain sehse of possession of the land In other words they do not regard themselves as merely hired bands.

A vacancy in the ofiice of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Ala bama, no longer exists.

 He is a lawyer of undoubted ability and has demonstrated that fact to the satisfaction of those who practised with him and who best know of his legal attainments. He Is In the prime of life and possessed of splendid men tai and physical health He has to fol- low where many great men preceded.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY ss. 1906.
IT IS NOT cREDITABLE.

Sometimes brief sentence in a news paper furnishes a good text for a ser mon. if one cares to preach it. Tn the Washington News printed in The Ad- vertiser Thursday morning there are statements and predictions regarding the Hepburn rate bill now before the Senate committee. and this sentence occurs among others: Conservative members assert that they have the nec- essary votes to amend the Hepburn bill if they are left free to exercise their Individual judgment so that they will not be put in the position of opposing the Presidents policy
 Is not this a thoroughly shameful Eharge to bring against men occupy ing the high position of Senators? Or. rather. is it not shameful position for Senators to place themselves in? For we have no doubt of the correct ness of the statement. The bill as it rame from the House Is known to be grossly defective in various respects. and ali well informed Senators know that 1t should not become a law in its original shape. For some cause which has never been satisfactorily explained the President wants the Hep burn bill passed and evidently ex- poets to drive it through the Senate as lie and Cannon drove 1t through the House against the judgment of some of the best informed members of that body Sem Rtors know it's imperfections and know fhat it ought to be amended, but are afraid to offer amendments. That is the proper term to use; they are afraid to oppose Roosevelt's wishes, or, rather. his commands It has all along been hoped by those who are jealous of the honor and independence of the Senate that 1t would show it's manhood and Judgment by getting the bill into prop CT shape but the language of our Wash angton dispatch leaves it doubtful
 If they are left free to exercise their judgment" Is the language used. Who, pray, Is to interfere with them except Roosevelt and those whom he evidently controls? So far as we know there have been no commands laid on the Senators by the States which sent them there to the effect that they must violate or stifle their own convictions and act on orders issued from the White House. If they are not free to do what they believe to be right, what is the reason? The only inference is that if they offend Roosevelt he will retaliate by shutting off patronage from them. If this is not the reason for their hesItancy what is the expIana- tion?

AMERICAN MUSIC.

Recently when a delegation of stu dents from a Virginia coIored school visited the President he took occasion in welcoming them. to quote approving ly from Preach literary man who said there were but two chances for the development of schools of American music. One of these, said the French man, would come from the negroes and the other from the fast vanishing h. dians, especially the Southwestern tribes.
 Whether the President was merely "jolIying" the negroes, or whether he actually agrees with the French writ CT we can not say, but neither horn of the dilemma is creditable to him. The idea of a distinctively American school of music being developed by the Indians is an absurdity on it's face. Those who know anything of the abor- igines of this country are aware that their music is of the most primitive description. Although some of their conceptions are really beautiful they are exceptions. For the most part their so-called sic Is little better than monotonous chant with little variation. and possessing little attrae- ton for civilized ears. If they have developed in this respect for centuries there is no evidence of it, Talk of their developing distinctive American music is absolutely ridiculous.
 Nor is 1t any better when the French man speaks of the negroes as likely to be the source of q school of Amer ican music. We of the South know how little there is to be expected from this source The negro ldea of music is little more advanced than that of

Letters to The Editor
A Fine Speech.

Editor The Advertiser:
 The recent speech delivered by our immediate representative in Congress. Hon. A. A. Wiley, on the Philippine tariff. deserves more than a passing notice. It shows that Col. Wiley's vis- it to the Far East during the past summer. was not merely a pleasure trIp He utilized the time spent in the Philippines in acquiring with his char acteristic energy, a mass of informa- tion which he Is using for the good of those helpless people. Within the com- pass of a short speech, Col. Wiley gives an an insight into the history, tribal re- Iations, manners and customs of the Philipinos. with a description of their country. it's climate, productions, etc.. that is both interesting and high iegisiation relating to them.
 His plea for a reduction Of the tariff on all imports from the Philippines was most forcible and received the at tention 1t deserved. The impending danger of trouble with China empha- sizes the importance of cultivating re- IatioDs of true friendship with these peopie where our base must be estab iisbed; and this can only be done by treating them justly and not as a conquered people fit only for exploita- 'i''' Constituent.

Reason for Unpainted Barns.

PhiIadelphfa Record. :.
 A Philadelphia paint dealer gives peculiar reason for the number of un- painted barns to be seen in the rural districts. He says that because taxes are higher on painted strlctures the farmer often refuses to paint any ol his outbuiIdings despite the fact that Structure is cheaper than the lumber and carpenter work needed to put up new one.
 The fact seems to be that the aver unpainted barn, but as soon as 1t is painted 1t strikes him as an improves ment and he raises tile valuation to such a point that the farmer wno knows the situation decides not to paint.

white beds are women and girls who are awaiting or recovering from opera tions made necessary by neglect.
 Every one of these patients had plenty of warning in that bearing down feeling, pain at the left or right of the abdomen, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, pelvic catarrh, dizziness, fatulency, displacements or irregularities. All of these symptoms are indications of an unhealthy com dition of the female organs, and if not needed the trouble may make headway until the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous operation, and a lifetime of impaired usefulness at best, while in many cases the results are fatal.
 Miss Luella Adams, of Seattle, Wash.s writes:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham :--
 ssAbout two years ago was great sufs ferer from a severe female trouble, pains and headaches. The doctor prescribed for me and finally told me that l had a turnor and must undergo an operation if I wanted to get well. felt that this was my death warrant, but t spent hundreds of dollars for medical help, but the tumor kept growing. Fortunately I corresponded with an aunt inthe New England States and she advised noe to faks Lydia F. Pinkhanas Vegetable Compound as it vvaa said to cure tumors. did so and immediately beganto improve in health, and was entirely cured the tumor disappearing entiraly, wifk- out an operation. I wish every suffering woman would try this great preparation
 Just as surely as Miss Adams was cured of the troubles enumerated in her letter, just so surely will Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure other women who suffer from fe- male troubles, inflammation, kidney troubles, nervous availability or ner- vous prostration.
 Mrs. Pinkham invites all young women who are ill to write her for free advice. She is daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty y-five years has been advising sick women free of charge. Address, Lynn. Mass.
