MY BARK.

God set my bari ahoat
Upon LIES morning sea,
And gave for captain Hope
To sail my bark for me.
We voyage past rock and reef
BY tide winds blown afar.
Beneath the ancient sun,
Beneath the steadfast star.
We coast by phantom shores,
We raise the Isle Of Dreams;
We pillow through wide wastes lit
By phosphOreseent CLEANS
And still we tack and drive,
And still. though waves oerwhelm.
Pm cabined with Content,
For Hope is al the helm.
And through his guidance stanch
feel. at Gods decree,
Fair haven ! shall find
Beyond LIES sunset sea.

LABOR scARorrr.

The Brooklyn Eagle has a very thoughtful editorial on the shortness of the labor supply, beginning with these words: Prosperity Is not without it's setbacks. One of them Is that 1t makes people too rich to work. Education is admirable because 1t qualities men for self f-government, but 1t also makes them believe that they are created for bet ter things than to lay bricks and sweep streets. self-respect Is a quality with out which society, law, religion and ethics may not be, but when self-re- spect increases to pride that foFbids the touching of shovels, saws, looms and sewing machines, it is a misfortune not merely for the individual but for the community"
 The complaint is practically univer- sal. In the East, the West, the South and all other sections labor of all kinds Is scarce and uncertain. It is not so bad in the shops and factories as it Is on the farms and in the homes The newspapers in all the cities of the North voice the complaints of families that domestic help is difficult to obtain and uncertain and unreliable. In the South where the servants are practically all colored the conditions are but little better. Cooks. house servants, wash erwomen and all other classes are dif- ficult to employ and in most cases not reliable when employed.
 On the small fruit and truck farms of the East, on the great grain farms of the West, and on the cotton planta- tions of the South the same lack of labor is felt. In the North and West there are not enough white laborers to supply the demand, and in the South the negroes are every year be- coming more unreliable. Can this con- dition be attributed to education, pros perlty or self respect? If so. is there remedy to be found? As The Eagle further observes, Tt comes about that a world which is prosperous and sehoOled and self-respectiHg, to a de- gree never realized before. is likewise

cRURLrY TO ANIMALS.

We have laws and regulations for the prevention of cruelty to animals and they should be rigidly enforced. All who are at any time on the streets of Montgomery do not need any evidence but that of their own eyes to con vince them that something should be done. For some reason the colored peo- pie are the greatest sinners in this respect. Every day we see overloaded teams brutally beaten by negro drivers who try by beating them to force them to exert q force beyond their strength. Whether there is an inherent streak of cruelty in the negro's organi- zatfon, or whether it arises from in- difference to suffering, or whatever the cause may be the fact remains that ne- gro drivers in Montgomery are often brutal to their teams.
 But the coIoHed people are not the only ones guilty of cruelty. We often see horses driven in from the country by white men on the hottest days of summer, hitehsd to q post and left to stand In the blazing sun for hours, and without water. We sometimes see white drivers flashing their horses most unfeelinEly because they cannot go fast enough or because they are unable 70 pull the load that is attached to them.
 All this is q wFong--almOst sin, in fact ''The merciful man Is merci- fui to his beast. or something of the kind, but if we judge by that stand ard there are many mercliess people in the world, or else they are very thoughtless. The horses and the mules are mans servants. They must submit to whatever is put on them, and because they are helpless, if for no better reason. they should be treat ed with humanity. Any policeman, we believe, has authority to arrest any person guilty of cruelty to animals, and few examples would have a sal- utary effect. 1t would not only be proper punishment for the guilty but would have deterrent effect on oth- CTS.
 Some of the good women of Mont SOhiSIJ. dES PlVpOSAhS hO AOAh Q OoCl- etx for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. and they should be encour- aged and supported in every way. When good women unite they have a habit of accomplishing whatever they under take, and few more commendable ob- jeets can engage their attention than to inculcate feelings of humanity to- wards the brute creation and to de- mand fhe enforcement of the Jaws on the subject; or, if we have not ade- quate laws. let them labor for the en- actment of such legislation as is need ed. But the burden of the work should not be left entirely to the women of the country. They should have not only encouragement but active assist ance from citizens and officials, so that the shame of mistreating beasts may not rest on our people.

The people of Montgomery County have never faltered when 1t came to the question of good roads. They have overwhelmingly endorsed the proposed Issue of s250,O0O of bonds to extend the crescent system. In the meantime there Is much that can be done in tho way of improving and repairing the roads that have al- ready been built. There must be no step backwards. No money is better Invested for the people than that ex- pended for schools and school houses and roads.

THE LATE WSr. M. MEEKs.

Alabama lost a true and valiant son in the death ot the late wm. M. Meeks a few days ago. In his early youth he was a gallant Confederate soldier. With the coming of peace he entered upon his life work of journalism, and left & record of good accomplished of which any man might well be proud For nearly forty years he conducted The Gadsden Times and later Times News, and never was there an utter ance through it's columns not inspired by earnest desire to advance the good of his community. State and country. No man was more highly honored at Gadsden. EER was ever it's loyal advo- cate and years ago predicted that it was to be one of the great cities of the State. He lived to see his prophecy partly realized and those who survived him will see it fully carried out. MT. Meeks was especially popular with his newspaper friends. He was frank, honest and manly and no man ever had reason to doubt where he stood as to four life members of the Alabama Press Association. made so by reason of more than twenty-five years continuous ser vice in the newspaper field. The Ad- vertissr extends sincere sympathy to those who were near and dear to him and shares with them in sorrow for the loss of truly good man.

. world that is beginning 10 suffer the material inconvenience that pertain to a low order of society,""
 We are not so sure of the appropri- ateness of The Eagle's comparison. If by "a low order of society 1t refers to a condition in which there are no very rich we should suppose that in such case the people would largely do their own work, but that Is not im- portant. The important thing is that labor of all kinds is becoming scarcer and wages constantly increasing. Un- der the influence of labor unionism the hours of labor have been shortened and the wages increased. but this ap- plies mostly to mechanical employ ments, though in some sections the ef- fort is being made to apply the eight hour day to farm work as we'll as to domestic service. The Eagle sdds:
 What must be the outcome of these altered and disturbed conditions? Will machinery so largely take the place of human hands and human minds that all our work win be done by electric ity, steam and water motors7 Hardly. We have too much of machinery al- ready. It produces dull, uniform, iife- less result, in which individuality is not possible, and the taste that comes with a better education demands at least a partial restoration of the old hand industries. But restoration of these industries will come sooner by reason of the difXicnlty in obtaining help to do one's work. When wages have risen to a point impossible except to milionaires; when one fs assured of a wider range of securities and comforts, through the extension of inventive en- terprase, 1t will be possible and agree able to return to the ways Of cur fath- CTS and master our trades, instead of some small speciality in them. Wives will cook and sew once more, and hus- bands will do the kind of work that require them to take off their coats.
 Unfortunately the idea seems to bs' gaining ground that any occupation which requires B man to take of his coat and roll up his sleeves. or wo- man to discard her gloves is not "re- snectable." It begin to look very much as if both men and women will have to set back to the time when most fam- ilies had to do their own work. a

A Woman,a Tongue Never sIIpn.

St. Louis Globe Democrat.
 Did you ever see a woman who stuttered?"
 'Noy now I come to think of 1t. I never did"
 "They are very rare" said the phy- sician. T think 1t safe to say that the average person passes through lie without ever meeting sthttering wo- man.
 ",Fhere are two reasons for this. First, woman naturally-I don't know why-is less liable to the disease of stammering than man. Second, if she develops this disease. she sets out with the determination to cure herself, and she succeeds; whereas, careless man, rather than take the trouble of cure will go stammering to the end.'
