Washington, March 17.-(Special.)-The
speech of Judge Alton B. Parker in North
Carolina last night coming out for a
southern man for. the democratic presi-
Dental nomination in 1908 was the sub
iect Of not a little comment in political
circles. especially among southern dem
ocrats. Both John Sharpe Williams OF
Mississippi and Joseph w. Bailey of Tex
as have many admirers in Congress as
well as personal friends, some of whom
say they would as soon go down In de-
feat with the one or the other the stand
ard bearer as to win with a candidate
little in sympathy with them.
Most of the democrats, however. SEEM
ed disinclined to discuss the subject of
southern man seriously. AS one Of the
leaders put it: 1T is entirely too early
to discuss the subject of a democratic
presidential nominee. We have fight
on our hands for the next Congress.
Should we have a democratic majority in
the House with good management every
thing would Indicate the election of DEM
ocratlc President two years following.
He would naturally come from a northern
state. Should we lose the House l doubt
II it would make much difference who is
nominated"
Would Be Confession of Defeat.
Democratic members are inclined to be-
leye that If the political outlook makes
certain the election of a republican Pres
ident there will be a strong movement
In the national convention to nominate
a southern man. This, it is argued, would
of Of in a1
vance. The subject is long ways off
and anything at this time is the purest
speculation.
In discussing Judge FarSer's speech TO-
day, Representative Brantley of Georgia
said II am opposed to political conGi-
lions which would make an Ireland of. the
south. The fact that a man comes from
the south ought not to disqualify him for
the democratic presidential nomination.
On the other hand we should not nomi-
nate a man solely because he comes from
the south The best man should be Sc
lected regardless of section. In my judg-
ment the south wanted Senator German
of Maryland nominated two years ago,
but yielded its wishes to New York and
Judge Parker was nominated. and badly
beaten. More democratic votes are polled
north OF the Mason ana DIXON line than
south of it. Should man fitted for the
place in every respect be put forward
by doubtful state he would naturally
be the logical candidate."
Bartholdt Will Have Bill.
Representative Bartholdt of Missouri,
chairman of the public buildings commit
tee left for ST. Louis tonight. He had
conference with the speaker today and
is satisfied that the speaker will allow
bill to come before the House at an early
date. Mr.. Bartholdt will be absent about
ten days and shortly after his return
bill is expected to be reported. 1t will
probably carry as much as fifteen million
dollars.

The Armory. Louisville. Ky, March H.
In the presence of 5000 people Acting
Mayor owen Tyler tonight sent the first
ball bowled in the annual tournament of
the American Bowling congress spinning
down the alley, and roar of cheers
greeted his effort when he finished the
performance at a neat spare"
A more auspicious opening never
opened an annual tournament of the con-
gress, the crowd gradually Increasing as
the evening wore on until the available
space In the huge jefferson county
armory was filed The boxes were filled
with prominent visitors, and with leaders
in the social and business circles of Louis
Vile. The unanimous opinion of the visit
ing bowlers was that the equipment OF
alleys and accommodations for contest
ants and visitors was the best in the his
tory of the congress.
The exercises preceding the opening OF
the play were brief and informal Acting
Mayor tyler, ON behalf of the city, and
Secretary of state II. v McChesney, for
the state. welcoming the visitors. The
response was made by j. H. Haager'

Play had barely started when 1t was
suspended for the purpose of welcoming
the O'Leary delegation, comprising three
teams and $50 visitors, headed by band
and drum corps. The Chicago men ar
rived on a special train only a short
time before their hour to begin bowling
in the tournament.
Owing to action by the Civic league
and the Jefferson county fiscal court there
will he no liquors sold at the armory
and no Sunday bowling. The only event
on the programme for tomorrow, aside
from social diversion offered the visitors,
will be the banquet given In honor of
the officers of the congress by President
Haager.
The Philadelphia delegation spent a
busy day working for A. l.. Baltz for

All that is mortal of the hero of
 many battles was laid at rest yesterday in Arlington. It Is a beautiful location.
 overlooking not only the river, but the capital and even the foothills of the
 Blue Ridge. Originally the home of General Lee. 1t has long been a ceme. tery in which the bodies of both sol. diers and sailors have been placed. It is the historic and national resting place of the defenders of the country.
 Regrets have been expressed because the body of General Wheeler is not to rest in the soil of the state he lovel So well, and also because a site was selected in Arlington not near or adia- cent to the Confederate section of the cemetery. But these regrets disappear when 1t is remembered that General wheeler was national figure, edu- oated at West Point, who was an officer Of the regular army both in his younger and elder days. It is eminently fitting that he should sleep in Arlington, in front of the Lee mansion, in romantic spot that is visited by persons from all the states.
 At first thought + seemed ae if his last resting place should have been at his old home in the Tennessee valley, but 1t is better after all that his grave should be placed where 1t will he watched by the where. too, the battles and the victories of the heroic soul will be recalled to visitors In the city of dead American soldiers.

VESSEL ABOUT READY.
New "Lapsley" Will Be Used In Mis-
 sion Work Along the Congo.


 Jacksonville. January S.-(special.)-- News has been received here that the new ''Lapsley.' the handsome coast steamer named in honor of the lamented Rev. S. N. Lapsley of Anniston, who died of fever while a missionary to Afri- ca, is nearing completion at a shipyard on the Clyde in Scotland, and will soon be turned over to the Presbyterian mis- sion board, south.
 It will be remembered that the old "Lapsley" was capsized in the rapids of the Congo. resulting in the death of the Rev. H. c. Shoemaker and several mem bers of his party, in honor of whose mem- ory a bronze tablet will be placed in the saloon of the new vessel.
 The vessel now nearing completion will be about 1O5 feet In length, with a 19-foot beam and a guaranteed speed of nine knots an hour. There are two decks, on the upper one being four sleeping cabins, bath room and dining room. The lower deck has been fitted up to accommodate a large native crew, it being necessary to cut wood for the use of the boat once every twenty-four hours. Double roofs will protect travellers from the fierce trop- ical heat.
 The new 'Lapsley.' it is said, will cost $24, ,25O. and will be put in charge of the Rev. L. c. Vass, who has been super intending its construction. When finished it will be taken apart and shipped to the mouth of the Congo, upon which 1t is to ply between the stations located from the coast of the Luebo and Ibanji.
 The Rev S. N Daspley, in whose honor the new vessel is being named, was well known in this city, his brother Rutherford Lapsley of Anniston, having married a Jacksonville girl. Toward building the vessel the local Presbyterian church con- tributed literally.

 A firm engaged in the manufacture of artificial silk in France writes to Mr. Underwood that it would at once establish a factory in America to em- ploy 1000 hands. if it could see that un- taxed alcohol is coming The stand patters should relent in spots at any rate, and one of the spots evidently k found in the use of alcohol in the trans. formation of raw cotton into artificial silh.

Burning of the Nail Mil.

The fire at Ensley destroyed a sec ton only of the well-known rod mill, which has long been a feature of our busy neighbor The nail mill was, how ever, the only one in this district, and its rebuilding will be anticipated with anxiety. The wire mill was leopard ized. but it escaped practically un- touched, and it constitutes by far the larger part of the mill
 Our steel industries are in their in fancy, and the loss of a single one would be a calamity. Every steel en- terprise in this district has been sue cessful, and the rod mill at Ensley is a conspicuous example of what can be accomplished here in the manufacture of steel products. It has rarely been able to keep up with it's orders, and it's goods have an established reputation. This Is why no doubt the nail mill will speedily be rebuilt and put in opera ton. It Is needed
