Those who served in the Confederate army with him speak in the highest praise of him, and are his enthusiastic supporters.

soME CIVIL rRonLEMs.

It is becoming more and more ap- parent every day that the question of labor is going to be the most vital and perplexing problem in connection with the Panama canal work. It is equally plain that white labor cannot be depended on. As clerks. superin- tendents. bosses and other positions not involving actual labor and expos ure it may be possible, by paying them well, to secure enough white Americans to supply the demand, though even that is by no means a certainty. Many who have gone there to take such positions have either died or lost their health. or have become so dissatisfied with the conditions that they have come away in disgust
 It is possible that negroes from the extreme Southern portions of the Un- ion might do the work but it has not been demonstrated, nor Is it all cer- tain that sufficient number of them can be induced to go there. The me- groes as a general thirg are not anx- ious or willing to expatriate them selves. Having been born and raised in the United States. with all the home ties and associations so dear to the negro's nature. they show little disposition to 20 elsewhere. This has been repeatedly proven by the futile efforts to induce them to emigrate to Africa. the home of their forefathers. Both white men and members of their own race have tried to induce them to go to Africa and form colonies of their own. but all such e--orts have been virtual failures. In short. 1t is not certainly known that negroes from the United States could do the work or that they can be induced to undertake 1t.
 If the work cannot be done by either white or colored Americans there remains the native Central Amer l jeans and the Chinese. From the first class but little can be expected. The natives of Central America tare little given to hard and steady labor. Like all the aboriginal races of America they show little disposition to perform actual labor unless they are forced to | 1t and then their industry lasts no longer than the force of want or cir cumstances can control them. The ca nal cannot be built with that kind of l labor.
 There remains the Chinese. and with them comes two intricate questions There is hardly a shadow of doubt about getting them in sufficient num- bers, or that they can do the work From the teeming millions of Chinese large numbers of whom are starving or are working all their lives for a bare living, 1t would not be difficult to get all the laborers that are re- quired. They are patient, industrious easily controlled. and are accustomed to toll, privation and exposure. TheiI labor can be procured cheaper than any other and we believe 1t would on the whole be the most satisfactory
 But here two obstacles present them selves. The importation of Chinese oi | other eoolie labor into the United States is contrary to our laws, to thu spirit of our institutions and to thu feelings of the American people. NJ citizen Of the United States would b, allowed to import shiploads of coolieI
 to work on private or pubic contracts

CUNNINGHAM THr WINNER.

An Advertiser man in conversation yesterday with gentleman who has been all over this State. who is intelli- gent and conservative, and who is just now back from North Alabama. says that cunningham will most cer- tainIy carry the State. This man said that the counties above 3irmingham will give Cunningham a majority cer- tainly. and that Tailapoosa county, a few weeks ago regarded as solid for ccmer--indeed. Corners friends claini- ed it by two thousand majority--will now go for Cunningham. This man talked to Cunningham within the lat two days He says that Cunningham feels perfectly sure of his nomination. Jefferson county~ the Cunningham peo- pie believe, according to this gentle man, will give Cunningham $500 ma jority easily. They insist that he will set two votes for every one that Co., mer gets.
 This same man said that the growth of the Cunningham sentiment was greater than 1t had been at any time. that his friends were more hopeful. buoy,-nt enthusiastic and determined than they had been at any time: that there are more of them now than at any time. and that they win carry Cunningham through in triumph. Friends of Cunningham from all over the State are writing to The Advertiser in the same cheerful tone of hope and victory.
