The following letter has been received from a member of one of the Mont gomery Chapters, U. D. C.:
 My Dear Mrs. deCottes:
 In The Morning Advertiser read the very lengthy circular letter ot Mrs. Lizzie George Henderson. President Gen eral of the U. D. c. Believing every intelligent person is entitled to his or her opinion, on any public question, I do not hesitate as a Daughter and I member Of the Southern Industrial As sociation, to ask the privilege of writ ing, not in answer to the President Generals letter. but to say few words lon the other side" Taere has never in this life militant been an effort made for a great movement undertak- ing a reform, that has not in the be- ginning met with violent opposition by the minimizing, the ignorant, and those satisfied with present" conditions Lacking ambition, energy and care enough to uproot the old, no matter how inferior or bad they may be, but the very opposition brings on discus sion and ventilation. In other words turns on the light. So little credit Is given Mrs. Gielow for high and noble aims and effort to do a great work, It would almost seem a personal attack. While Mrs. Gielows present methods may look to a clear, cold, business ln- spection more or less impractical the idea and effort Is a grand one, and no sincere, unprejudiced person in the State of Alabama can honestly say 1t is not A sad truth-the dense ignorance of our white population Ill the remote rural districts, not more. nor as much, in the

 The Macon Telegraph contained the following concerning the address of Miss Andrews of Montgomery delivered to the Wesleyan Alumnae Association:
 Considerable comment of the most favorable sort is now being heard in the city in regard to the address of Miss F. Fannie Andrews of Montgom- cry, Ala. which was delivered to the Wesleyan Alumnae Association.
 The theme of the address taken as a whole was higher education. but the objective point of the talk was the ex- pansion of Wesleyan. Miss Andrews went on to show what great possibili- ties lay before Wesleyan If only the opportunities. which were now hers. were used.
 She proved that it was not only pos- sible for Wesleyan to reach the level now occupied by Vassar and other Eastern female colleges, but that this was no more than could be reasonably expected of her when her advantages are taken into consideration. She said that 1t lay in the power of the churches to make Wesleyan college of na- tional repute, an honor to the found CTS, to the graduates, and to the churches to which she belongs.
 All who heard Miss Andrews talk are most pronounced in their praise of her address and declare that 1t was one of the best ever delivered in this city. So favorable was the impression made by the address that @ movement has been inaugurated to have 1t published in pamphlet form for distribution among the different Methodist church. es of the country. While the arrange ments have not yet been all made, still it is practically certain that this step will be taken in the next few days

tention of ascertaining the truth of the
assertion that che increase of 20 per

If this be true the reports OF the in
surance companies made to the state
insurance Commissioner for 1905 de

Indications of change in sentiment
as to the place the Shorthorn Is to

herds is passing The beef must soon
be produced under different conditions.
Srialler holdings and more intense
farming, with fewer items of loss, will
soon be the rule, writes a correspond.
ent to Breeders Gazette.
Under these changed conditions it is
doubtful If the farmer can afford to de-
pend for profit on the COWS maintained
on the steer alone 1t Is, think, abso-
lntely certain he will seek for some
thing In addition. That can only be
given him through greater develop

ABOUT TRUST BUSTING.
Re publican Rule for the Past Has B.uffed a
Lot and Done Nothing.

After thinking over the republican
attempts at trust busting, mostly stage

Results are what the tariff tabed pub
ic are looking for, but the record
shows that the cost of living is now 40
per cent higher than it was before tie
present republican tariff law was en-
tcted. The fact is that not only must
