Go TO the Court House.

The registration boards stand ready
to register all qualified electors, but
the time in which registration can be
secured is becoming short, and the
thousands in this state who are not
registered should not longer neglect
this important matter. Go to the court
house at once and secure registration
attained the age of 81, all newcomers
to the state--in short all who have
heretofore failed to register should see
that their names are enrolled on the
official list of qualified electors.
No one can vote in the approaching
primary except those who are regis
tered. No one In fact is a full Ameri-
can citizen unless he has appeared
before the registration officers at the
court house. About 100000 white per-
sons in this state lack registration
qualifications. This is a sad and re-
grettable fact, and the opportunity to
cure this defect is before us, and the
remedy should be sought at the court
house. The right to vote should not
be cast aside. 1t is a great right, and
the state asks nothing unreasonable
from the voter. II calls for registra-
ton after all poll taxes assessed are
paid. These conditions are not UNI
reasonable. Give them due considera-
ton while the opportunity lasts.

M I'VE years ago a man seen reading
~ newspaper. of which very few
were published in the whole en-
plre. was ridiculed as a follower of the
devils. Almost the only paper published
in the capital was the Picking Gazette,
containing the DEGREES and doings of the
court
Now there are ten daily papers pub
lished in Picking. among them are one Of
of the few women's dailies in the world
This paper is interesting as being largely
edited by women, and dealing just now
with such topics as popular astronomy
geography, physical geography, the care
of infants, and the training of children
The general newspapers are read by all
classes. and are constantly increasing
their circulation They contain Reuters
kilograms, news of the country and city,
and articles of considerable length and
acnmen on live topics. Some are pledged
to the correction of old-established GUS
toms, and the contents are extremely in
teresting, worthy of a separate article
BY way of advertisement, more like
ly because of the zeal of reformers who
are responsible for the newspapers, copies
are posted on blank and on boards set up
for the purpose so that their contents
may be perused by those who would not
buy. In addition a remarkable plan to
secure the attention of the masses has
been followed. In different places in Cit
les and suburbs have been fitted up read
ing halls, with benches and tables, where
tea is served free, and in the evenings
capable men are engaged to rad and

From the washington Post.
Banana -four is a cure for acute indi-
east,on according to officials of the de-
partment OF commerce and labor. The
product is much in demand in England,
says a report just received from London.
1t is so little used in this country that
statistics of its manufacture and sale are
rot collected by the government. Banana
flour was spoken of a few years ago as
a great discovery that was likely to
play an important part in competition

Hous Fattened at Home.

The last excuse for depending upon
Packingtown for hogs and hog meat,
even If it be free from cholera germs,
has been taken away. Intelligent feed
ers In Texas find that cotton seed
meal is excellent food for hogs. In
stead of poisoning, 1t fattens them
Hogs have been made ready for mar
ket through the use of cotton seed
meal two years, and the meal is COM
ing into general use as recognized
part of the hog ration in that state.
What is good for hogs in Texas must
be good for hogs in Alabama.
The excuse for neglecting to produce
a sufficiency of meat at home has been
the alleged want of corn lands. This
pretense is brushed aside when every
farmer grows an abundance of excel
lent hog food in his cotton patch. Let
no one say hereafter in this state that
he can not afford to make his own
meat. He certainly can afford to do
so. He will assuredly be accounted
shiftless and unenterprising if he does
not. when the food needed by the hogs
is ever at hand The Texas expert
ments are convincing and satisfactory
and all who can command a supply of
cotton seed meal can and should fatten
hogs both for home use and for sale
In the home markets. Possibly the
corn-fed hog can be driven out alto
gether.

HORSES a AWAY.

Team of A. G. Brown & Sons Cause
Much Commoti0n.
A team of horses belonging to A.
G. Brown & Sons, the shipbuilders,
ran away In Broadway, between Main
and Bentley streets, about 6 o'clock
last night. The wagon which they
were drawing was heavily loaded
with boards piled high and one of
the pieces of wood on the side snap
ped with a loud report. Just as they
turned into Broadway some of the
boards fell with a crash, which
caused the team to run away. The
driver, William LaForge, slid from
the wagon in his efforts to stop the
horses after they had run upon the
sidewalk of Thomas Turner and de-
posted part of the load on his lawn.
When he wen off the wagon he still
held onto the. reins and brought them
to a standstill before any other dam
age was done.

dered. 1t appears that soon after her
arrival at Glenmore with Gillette the
man was seen studying a map of the
woods, while the girl paced up and
down the balcony of the hotel. OF
course the girl had no idea of the fate
that was in store for her, and she en-
tered the boat with Gillette believing
that she was going out for u pleasant
ride on the lake.
