FIsHERIEs DISPUTE.
VIII Again Go to Ne
 Fouudland Waters.

Alexander VIII Again Go to New
 Fouudlaud Waters.
 Washington, Sept. 6.-By direction of President Roosevelt, preparations are being made in three of the executive departmente for a resumption oe the study of the New Foundland fishing dispute which was carried on through out the last year.
 A. B. Alexander, Chief of the Division of Statistics and Methods of the Bureau of Fisheries of the Department of Comerce and Labor, who spent several months, surveying conditions In New F'oundland waters. has again been se- lActed as the agent of this Government. He will have the use of the naval tug Potomac in mixing his Investigations and win be armed with authority from the State Department in his negotia- tions with officials in New Foundiand. The date of his departure for New Foundland has not yet been fixed.
 new treaty defining the rights of American fishermen in New Foundland waters is the probable outcome of Mir. Alexanders visit, but of prime import nnce to the fishermen themselves will be the instructions ho will undertake to give to captains of fishing smacks as to their exact rights under the eX- isting New Foundland fishing law. It is believed at the state Department that fully one-half Of the seizures of American fishing vessels has been caused by ignorance on the part of the fishermen as to their treaty rights or their location at the time seized.
 Secretary of State Root has arranged to take up the entire subject immedi- ately on his return from his South American tour.

IT Is AGITATER.

Governor Vardaman has once more delivered himself on the negro aues- tion and the fine sensibilities of The Nebraska State Journal are shocked, tarred, 1olted and otherwise discom- boberated to a painful degree. It copies some of the Governors recent remarks and says:
 There is the program of the irrecon- cilables of the South in all of it's naked brutality. The negro is to be denied all chance to better his condition through education. He is to be denied gence. He is to be an animal, not the slave of the white man. but a beast or burden even more than he was be- fore the war
 The Journal should know better than to take Yardaman's frequent outbreaks so seriously. Like Roosevelt he is given to bloviation and Is never better satisfied than when he is saying some- thing that will cause comment. No need to worry over his talk. And The Journal adds;
 The North does not know what to do with the negro problem, but it will recotl instinctively from the path so coolly pointed out by Governor Varda- man. Nothing yet suggested for the black man is so cruel and hopeless as this declaration coming from the exec utive mansion of great Southern State.
 Of course the North doesn't know what to do with the race question. but that ignorance doesn't prevent a great many of our Northern brethren from putting in and telling us all about it.. What the North should do is to keep out of it as far as is possible. If she wants to shrink at the suggestions of a few people like Vardaman let her do so. but there is no need to take his expressions as the voice or sen- timents of the Southern people at large. for he is not qualified to speak on this subject for the South.
 The truth is that if The Journal and many other Northerners would allow the information to find lodgment in their craniums the Southern white peo- pie will do what is best for both races if they can be suffered to carry out their work without outside interter- ence. and they will not carry out the vardaman program by any means.

GOOD ROADS.

Nothing that is really good and use- full for the public comes without cost ing something. We have heard much of good roads in every part of Aiaba- ma for many years, yet the fact re- mains that most of the roads in most of the counties are impossible because the people have not been willing to be taxed for their own benefit. There is room under existing laws for extra sums of money to be donated to road improvement in many counties and not put the county tax rate above the Con- stitutional limit.
 We are proud of the part played by Montgomery county in road improve ment. It has cost money and con- siderable amount of it, but that must be expected. The good done by the good roads IS incalculable, and the system should be continued until every public road in the county is a good, smooth, hard highway. all the year round The Board of Revenue is on the right track and its recent action in looking to a continuation of the good work should be upheld by the voters when the matter Is submitted for their action next November. EV- cry dollar put in good roads will be a fine investment for the present and the future.

SUMMER CATARRH.
Hot Weather Seems to Have Bad Ef-
 feet Upon Some People.

It Is generally recognized by physi- clans that many people suffer more with catarrh during the summer than in the winter. In the hot, dry weather and the change from the hot days to cool nigts seems to have a bad effect upon the disease.
 Even after the usual methods of treating catarrh have been unsuccess- full, E. G. Fowler guarantees that he will refund the money if Hyomei fails to cure the disease. This seems so fair and reasonable that 1t should in- duce all catarrh sufferers to take the treatment.
 In many instances Hyomei has cured catarrh when the patient has suffered since childhood. Quite num- Der of people in Montgomery who for years have been unable to get a gooh nights sleep on account of the lisa greeable tickling and dropping at the back of the throat, have obtained quick relief from a few treatments of Hyomei and the continued use has made a complete and lasting cure
 There is no stomach dosing when one uses Hyomei. Simply breathe It's medicated air through the pocket in- haler that comes in every outfit and all germs will be killed and the mu- cous membranes will be healed.
 The complete outfit costs 100, ex- tra bottles soc. Remember that if Hyomei does not cure. E. G. Fowler Wiu return your money

TRADE wITH CUBA.
Exports Take Big Round While Im
 nOrtA sIirhflY Decrenne

Exports Take BIR Bound While Ym-
 ports Slightly Decrease.
 Washington Sent GA report issued by the Department of Commerce and Labor today says:
 Commerce of the United States with Cuba in the fiscal year just ended was greater than in any early year of trade relations between the United States and that island. This is particularly true of exports
 The imports from tso island fell slightly below those of 1a"i, due to the fall in price of sugar t,'- inc exports to the islands were 25 nor cent greater than In 1905; 75 per cent greater than in 1904. and about 120 per cent. greater than in 1903.
 Exports to Cuba aggregated s47,763.- 6S8 In 1906 Prior to 1Sni, the value of the imports into the United States from to seventy-hve millions. Of the five articles forming the bulk of our im- ports from Cuba, sugar amounted in value in 1906 to sixty million dollars, tobacco thirteen and 0ne-halR millions; cigars and cigarettes four millions; Iron ore two millions and bananas one million.
 Tobacco. cigars and cigarettes. and iron ore show an increase in the fiscal year 1906 and bananas show reduc- tion of less than half a million dollars. while sugar shows a reduction Of over four million dollars in value in 1906 as compared with 1905.
 The increase in shipments to Cuba, while visible in many articles. occurs chiefly in manufactures of iron and steel, of which the total export to the island were $9.s79,64S in 1906, against $6 1649 in 1905.
