NOT A STATE LAW, BUT A PARTY
 PLAN.

The Charlotte Observer of recent date says:
 Alabama. like Mississippi, is fore- handad about electing Senator's and the claims of both the old gentlemen will come before the approaching pri- maries. and both will be endorsed for Alabama Is far-sighted as well as fore- handed and since Senator Morgan will be s3 years old when his present term expires and Senator Pettus SS, the Legislature being, in the language of the old wills, mindful of the un- certainty of human life.'' has devised a novel plan for the procurement of reference to the succession in case either. or both, of the old gentlemen should die before the term to which he Is to be reelected shall begin. As to the delicacy of this proceeding there Is nothing to say here. but provision has been made for voting in the pri- maries for alternate .Senators'-.that elected to succeed either or both of the old gentlemen in case of the pro. mature death of either or both.
 The Alabama Legislature had noth- ing to do with this alternate Senator plan. It is the action of the Democrat ic State Executive Committee and has resulted in bringing out half dozen or more prominent citizens as candi- dates for endorsement, which endorse ment whoever is elected Governor will have to recognize in case of a va cancy.

Comcr nnd ChiId Labor.

Editor The Advertisers:
 Dr Cunningham denounces enid Ia hor in mills and mines. Conner approves 1t and asserts that pr. Cunningham knows nothing about child labor. This difference of opinion evidently results from viewing the subject from dlfter- cnt standpoints Dr Cunningham con sidors if from the standpoint of an ed ucated physician and humanitarlan and looks at its effect upon the moral. phyS- icai and intellectual welfare and deVel- opment of the child; Conner considers IL from the standpoint of a wealthy man ufacturer who employs hundreds or children in his mills at Avondale and Sylacauga and who has made thousands of dollars out of such employment. He looks at child labor from the stand point of dollars and cents and has no patience with Dr. CuR6dnGham, who thinks that the moral and physical et-

It is sixteen months ago since began using Cuticura Soap and Ointment for my limb and foot. The first two months the Cuticura Remedies did not seem to work, but kept on using them both.

Then I began using Cuticura Soap and Ointment often dur ing the day and kept it up for seven months, when my limb was healed up just the same as if I never had trouble.
 1t is eight months now since I stopped using Cuticura Remedies, the best on Gods earth. I am working at the present day, after five years of suffering. The cost of Cuticura Ointment and Soap was only $6; but the doctors bills were more like $500.

Sometimes a small item in an ob- scure newspaper may be of vast im- portance. In the local columns of a Kansas rural journal we find the statement that w. D. Austin had the misfortune to tear one of his pants think of what may be hidden under that brief paragraph. We don't have the pleasure of Mir. Austin's acquain- tance, and do not know what brand of pants he wears. It may be that they were his best Sunday trousers, or il may be that he has but one pair, and it Is also possible that he has no one to repair them. That leaves him in the midst of a bad fix. And we are left entirely in the dark as to the cause of the catastrophe. We don't know whether he tried to jump over a barbed wire fence to escape from the dog. or whether he fell down stairs, or what was the prime cause ,.. ms III luck. We are merely in- termed that he tore his pants, and that is all. But it was not quite as pad as it might have been. after all for he might have torn both his pants legs and then he would have been up against it sure enough. We shall await further details with much ln- terest. and hope MT. Austin may get safely over 1t.

High License sentiment Growing,

Boston Herald.
 The movement in favor of high H. cense is growing. As we stated on license law has put 2 500 liquor saloons out of business In the State of Ohio. Now it is proposed to increase the charge for license in San Francisco, where there has been prohibition since the city went under military rule The license price suggested is S400 a year for saloons. trivial amount In comparison with what has to be paid by liquor dealers in our own State, and a sum that could be doubled or trebled to advantage. It would bring in needed revenue to the city of San Francisco, and at the same time elm mate many of the most objectionable saloons High license is unquestiona- bly, the best method yet devised for restricting the Hquor trafic-

Praise. pr. Anderson.

Dr. Neal l.. Anderson, pastor of the Central Presbyterian church, has re- turned from Thomasville, Ga, where he went to preach the baccalaureate ser- mon for Young's College.
 Speaking of pr. Anderson, The Thom- asvllle Times Enterprise says;
 "Dr Anderson, of Montgomery, had friends in Thomasville before he came to Thomasville to preach the bac- calaureate sermon for Youngs College, but since he came they can hardly be numbered for their multitude. pr. An derson was kept busy Sunday. with the college sermon In the morning. the Y. M. c. A. in the afternoon, and an- other sermon at night.
 The selection of the Montgomery di- vine by Mir. Hunt was most opportune. He Is minister whose depth is pro- found, whose logic is perfect and whose diction Is most delightful. He believes in the saving grace of love. a doctrine that is largely summed up in his al- literatIve bounding of Christian liberty, liberty limited by love.
 His efforts were greeted by a large audience of town people, and they were thoroughly appreciative."

fects of child labor should be consid- cred. With Conner "rhe Juggling Of the guinea helps the hurt that honor feels, " and because Dr. Cunningham has never obtained the benefit and has no per- sonaI knowledge of the golden stream riounces him as an ignoramus on that question.
 From their respective standpoints each is right: pr. Cunningham con- siders the question from the standpoint of a friend of humanity, Conner from the standpoint of an interested man. ufacturer who makes thousands of dol lars by the labor of the little children.

Where the Sign. of oppre.sionr

Editor The Advertiser:
 Time has been when the hard pie Any demagogue could talk op- pression and find willing ears to lfs- ten. The people needed no argument to prove to them that hard times were on them. They could see it and feel It. They knew not why. but the .gaunt spectre was before their eyes. Cotton brought very poor return for the cost and labor put out to make It. Lands were worth but little on the market. The farmers could get no money from bank: If he handled any at alL ne secured 1t from a commits sion merchant at ruinous rates or in, terest. The best the country school could do for his children was to fur nish' them indifferent schooling for three months. There was no effort to improve the roads over which he haul had no trouble whatever to persuade the man behind the ploy in that day that there was something awfully rot ten up the creek. The cry of oppres- sion and fraud met a hearty response

 got in his work in fine shape. Those were awful times. The country people were arrayed against the towns ana cities, Confidence was destroyed The demagogue office seeker was the cause
 Times have now changed. Our country has never known such pros perity. The farmers are independent. Any of them can get money at the banks-many of them have money to lend. First class teachers are in charge of the schools, which last from nVe to ten months. Road improvement is the talk in every county. In some counties the farmer can carry four bales of cotton to market easier than he carried one over the old roads. He is holding every foot of land he has and is buying more. Lands in Ala bama, whether in the wire-grass, cane break or hills, whether near to or re- mote from the great centres, are fast turning to gold mines and the wise farmers are possessing themselves or as many acres as possible.
 Where are the signs of op2resslonF
 The man certainly has a lot or cheek who can stand up before an audience of Alabamians and tell them they are enslaved and oppressed. They cannot be made to believe It. The man does not believe 1t himself.
