A WONDERFUL RELIC.

There seems really no limit to mod ern discovery. especially the faculty for prying into the dim nd distant past The ethnologists, the arehaeolo- eists and all the other scientists are not satisfied with what now exists. or even of what recorded history tells them. They must dig and delve into the earth and the rocks which have lain unmoved for many centuries and out of their depths bring up bones. horns and other relics of animals that nav have existed millions of years ago for anything we know to the contra ry.
 One of the latest "go-backs" we have noted has relation to venera- ble party named Adam. We don't re- member his other name, if he had one, but that doesn't matter. If we follow recorded history we know that he was the first human to need a name, and consequently one was sufficient. That has nothing to do with the present case. however, for this Is connected with the individual himself and not with his name.
 Those Of us who have head Mark Twain's writings will remember how he, in his travels in the far East, thought he had found the grave of Adam and how he bent over it and shed briny drops of grief sorrowing for his dead ancestor The fact that he was afterwards made aware that the grave was a fake didn't set Mark back any for he had already had his weep and was content
 The announcement Of the latest find comes from The Timea-E -Ents. prise. of Thomasvnle. Ga. which claims ac- auaintance with q man who says he has now in his possession part of the

Under the heading. TWO Great Leaders in Contrast" The Pittsburg, (Pa.) Sun turns itself loose in this style:
 frightened by some Rooseveltian fiuor- ishes of the big stick turned to Bryan and tempted him.
 When the President was at the height of his radicalism. before ne had compromised his principles thrown down his allies given the He dlrect to his go-betweens, 1t was artfully suggested that perhaps MT. Bryan had become more conservative.
 This temptation met with nrompt refusal. and the Satan of privilege s1unk away to put in his work on Mir. Roosevelt. to better advantage. 1t seems For the President has wobbled ever since. He backed down on the rate bill. backed up on the meat law the way clear to his corporate suppor ters to contribute to another corrup- tion fund without hindrance from law
 He has lately stultif1ed himself as partisan without principle in argu- ing for the election to Congress of the very men who fought his policies. And to cap the climax he has made such an unmitigated display of him self in his bumptinus butt-in-sky ad vocacv of "deformed" spelling that even his admirers hereafter must ques- ton his judgment as a leader. ana his sense of proportion in public affairs.
 It is sometimes difficult to tell just what The Sun is driving at when 1t turns itself loose. but it evidently has little liking for Roosevelt.

Whenever we read about "pafnless extraction of teeth" we think of the fellow who visited a dentist who as- sured him that he would extract an aching molar absolutely without pain. The tooth came out and robust howl came with it. and then the victim kick ed the dentist in the stomach and landed him up against the wall. What did you do that for?" he asked, as soon as he could get his breath. T just gave you painless kick" was the re- ply. With some experience in the business of losing teeth we have he- come convinced that they were not intended to come out without making the late owner wonder what teeth were made for.

mill of this same Adam of whom we

 Sun, claims to have "a history of it
 as far back as 1512 and by simple
 process of deduction he has found that 1t was used by Adam. From fin- ger prints worn into the mill he knows that Adam was a man of large stature. and that Adam was thoughtful of Eve, grinding the grain while she
 played bridge whist with the neigh

 openings"

 that after Adam and Eve had been evicted from Eden and found them selves under the necessity of culti- vating the land. they raised grain. Probably they didn't know anything
 about the good old corn so dear to the hearts of we favored ones Tn the South.
 but wheat, barley. rye and other small
 grain may have been among their farm crops, and as the years passed and knowledge increased they would find some way to crush and cook it in some shape. We somewhat doubt If

WEDNESDAY SEPT. s, 1906.

It rests entirely with the white men of Alabama whether or not they are qualified as voters. The great bulk Of them were entitled to registration under the permanent plan of the new Constitution. Those who did not reg ister prior to January l, 1903, have had many opportunities since then to do so. Tn the cases of such men it Is sheer indifference. There is no requirement of poll tax payment in order to register There are many men in Alabama who have paid poll tax yet have so far failed to register. This is 8 peculiar situation, yet it is nevertheless true. Tn so important a matter as the election of Governor of the State the indications are that considerably less than 100000 votes were boiled in the Democratic prima- ry The total number of white men over voting age in the State is over 2e0, ,00e. It is more than a liberal es- timate to say that for one cause or another 5O,OO0 do not wish to be allied with the Democratic party. That would still leave at least 100000 who ought to be qualified to vote in a Democratic primary. Out of the 26O,- 900 white men of the State at least 100000 are above poll tax age and 15e,000 under forty-five years. Over half those subject to poll tax paid all they were due up to last February. It is strange indeed that in so impor- tant a matter as choosing high State and judicial officers so many men are so criminally indifferent.

 Under these circumstances be- lieve that Jerome is the strongest can didate today. His chief elements of strength are that he is a straight man and a first-rate fighter; he enjoys the highest popular estimation and has the prestige which he gained by his gal lant fight last year.

The State Fair at Montgomery next month promises to be the greatest event of the kind in the history of Alabama. It is going u he one of the old time sort when farmers and stockmen vied with each other in showing what they could do. The prizes offered are much larger than usual and the county entries already made make certain a grand aRricultu- ral display. Every day will be given up to particular interests and splendid speakers will entertain the visitors. The State Fair at Montgomery will be the notable event in Alabama for the year 1906.

The Shareholders.

HarITOTQ Times.
 Ownership of the shares of the rail- roads of the United States is distribut- ed among nearly 100000 men and wo- men, The number of stockholders in the large industrial corporations of the country is not definitely known. but 1t runs up into hundreds of thousands.
 A vast majority of the people who have holdings of stock in the railroad and manufacturing companies of the United states are not wealthy but are thrifty persons in moderate ciroum- stances. They are folks who nave worked and earned and saved. They are scattered through all sections of the country The rich shareholders with large holdings are much less nu- merous than the well-to-do share hold CTS with small holdings.
