 The advantages of the South as 2 piace for young men are coming 70 pc recognized" said prominent business man last night
 T had an unusual experience today. young traveling man, who has been canvassing the State, came to me at my home and, after introducing him self opened the conversation In this way: Mir. Blank. I have travelled all oyer the country I have visited a majority of the States of the Union. For the last few weeks l have been working in Alabama. and ] want to say right here that want to stay in this State Do you know of any work m my line which I can secure. which will keep me in Montgomeryg We'll, sir sat down and spent an hour and a half talking with that young man He IS brisft keen fellow who has had college education, who has seen much, and who knows the value of what he has seen. He thinks he sees bright future for the South. and he has faith enough in his Judgment to want to risk his future prospects on it. He is not the only ono. of his kind. There are others who are beginning to see the same thing.
 The wise man is the one who can foresee what ia going to happen, as this young man has done. l am going to do what 1 can to help him. for VIC want that class of men to stay in the StAfess

 What good can be gained by mak ing the canal a mere political sluice- way through which graft and official rottenness may flow uninterrupted for years. though different political parties may be in power. With the work let out by contract, a definite idea as to time and cost could be reached As it is now everybody fs ''np in the air" as to either cost or tinne,--but everyone knows that it's construction, under of. ficiaI control means years Of political wranEling. with the chances in favor of a mess of official corruption

 Conner objects to The Montgomery Advertiser sending a stenographer to report his speech verbatim. We can't see how verbatim report could hurt any one, unless MT, Conner desires to make speeches to suit the crowd he is In. The demaeoRic utterances of some of the spell binders sounds nigh ty idiotic when put in cold print, and perhaps Brother Conner is right after a1l--uniess he wants to stick right close to the truth.

Union Springs Herald.
 When good citizens refuse to testify and grand 1uries refuse to indict these dealers, the condition can't well be remedied through the local courts. If the government can be induced to deny licenses in prohibition territory. how ever, the evil will be quickly abolished. and it is to be hoped that those con gressmen who are working with this end in view will be successful.

 We are truly glad to find that there are prospects for improvement at Pa mama. We learn through the sacre- mento Bee that our government is ad- vertising at San Francisco for fifty mules with broad. full foreheads and well-developed brows." for service on the Isthmus. Now. as all know who have paid any attention to phrenology. such foreheads and brows denote in- telligence, and there has been so little of this commodity at Panama that 1t is encouraging to find our government making preparations to supply the de- ffcit. If we were asked what we con sidered the greatest need for that ap- parentiy God-forsaken country we should at once suggest or assert that intelligence is one thing of which the supply Is wofuliy short; consequently, we heartily commend the governments apparent determination. supply the deficiency, even by importing intelli- gent mules. Let us hope that the canal management will learn something from the long cared teachers. It will be better than nothing

They love music and learn readily by ear to play some instruments and to sing the songs they hear. but if they have shown any capacity for form ing or developing school of music we have not heard of 1t. and if they should undertake to accomplish such an object the result would be far from what cultivated and competent musi- clans would call distinctive Ameri- can school of music.
 We are compelled to believe that Roosevelt, to use common expression was "joshing" the negroes, a proceed ing at which he is an adept He knows enough of both Indians and negroes, under natural conditions, to know that either race is capable of originating CT developing what could be called a school of music, American or any other, but he probably wanted to make his coiored visitors feel good and took this way to attain his object.
