To all these dear ones, allow two bereaved, to say as here to fore-May God bless you-May God bless you; we can ask for you no higher good.

The Old Black Cow.

Oh when we go to talking of the
 things that we'll do, An tellin' our adventures some false, m some that's true, All such thoughts are made to vanish when out by the new
 clothes line, I See the smilin' features of that
 old black COW of mine. At home from school in evening when we think we'll get to rest, Ma tells us to go quickly an put on
 an old work dress, For standin' in the garden down
 by the old grape vine, l see a great big something-'.tis that old black COW of mine. Or on bright midsummer day, when from Natures leafy bower. Where we have wandered peacefully
 for many sunny hours, We see we must go home again: tho
 nothing there to find, Nothing9- yes 'tis something-'tis that old black COW of mlne. An when I sit thinkin' Of the
 time when I shall roam, Thinkin' of strange places l shall
 visit for from home, Then turn the leaves of fancy in
 a mental state divine, Till I see the smilin' features of that old black COW of mine. When e'er we go to talkin' then
 Dad he allows, That we can't make Twin unless
 we're milkin' cows Then all my cherished fancies I
 see l must resign, For there before my vision comes that old black COW of mine. What pleasure then in childhood, what pleasure then Ill spring, When all the flowers are blossming and the birds all sweetly sing, For all the time she seems te say, I'm thine, I'm ever thine, She just keeps me a thinkin it. that old black cow of mine. Oh that old COW. I make a solemn vow to think of her no more, As 1 go walkin' slowly an open
 the barn door; Yet, when it softly opens, there comes feelin' quite divine, For I'm in the august presence of that old black COW of mine.

A Two>Cent Fa re.

The reduction of railroad fare to two cents d mile ill Arkansas, Is receiving considerable atten- ton throughout tho state. The press generally seems to have taken no very definite stand either for or against the propos- ed change
 One news paper that has come undeNur observation opposes the reduction, claiming that 1t would mean an end to all future special excursion rates. The argument, if 1t may be so termed. seems to us to be very weak. In fact, it could not be made weaker. A milksop might have presented the claims of the railroads in a better light. We are no enemy to railroads; but We do not wish to see the people feeced and refeeced for the pleasure of the feeeers. In certain coun- tries where the railroads are owned and operated by the state, passengers are carried for one cent mile and the freight rate is approximately low. If the railroad laborers received any benefit from the eSorbitant passenger and freight rates that obtain in this country, the case against the railroads might not appear so bad. As a matter of fact, the railroad companies of this country come as near mak- ing slaves of their employees as could we'll be imagined without havlng the genuine article. Many railroad companies are also systematically wedding out American laborers and filling their places with the very loves type of forign labor-men that can be herded together like a band of sheep, and take orders as submissively as all over-awed slave, cringlng in the fear of his masters lash. The Great Northern has practically all of its construction and line work done by Japanese, paying 1hem from 80 cents to $ LOO per day, price at which no American could hope to keep a family. The Union Pacific, Northern Paci fic and all California lines have i'll a large measure SUD- planted American labor with Dago and Japanese labor. In view of this fact there can be no justification for the present excessive passenger and freight rates prevailing on all Ameri- can Ines. The people are slowly awaking to the fact that they are under no moral obligation to pay undeserved tribute to the Vanderbilts, the GouIds, Hartman, Rockefeller, old Jim Hill and the rest of the gang , of twenth century law protected buccaneers that have been running congress as we'll as railroads for the last twentiety years. A sentiment in favor of government ownership is in the breeze, and is each day gathering such strength as justify us in the prediction that it will be made one of the lead- ing issues in the comi ng presi-

 Governor Jelks has undoubtedly made one ok the best Governors Ala banna ever had. and his administration Is one of the most successful in the history of the State. In every depart the evidences of fine business manage ment and wise statesmanship, During his administration our new censtitu- tion has been adopted, which alone would entitle 1t to lasting gratitude.
 During this administration the tax at least sioo, ,eoo, GOO, and while the rate of taxation has been decreased from seventy-five cents to sixty-five cents on the hundred dollars there is today over $1,500.0 900 in the State treasury, the most money in the history of the State. What State in the Union can show a better record?
 ditional have been given to schools and pensions for Confederate vet efans.
 These figures eloquently speak for themselves. The insurance and other departments show the same fine busi- ness management. The. laws have been faithfully and efficiently enforced. and there has been wonderful improve- to prosperity and development. At the close of his most excellent admin istration Governor Jelks will deserve and receive from every patriotic citi- zen the appreciation, well done thou good and faithful servant.

 Georgia and Alabama are much alike in some respects, To our inquiry If there Is anythinf left to think about in their campaign The Albany Herald informs us that there is plenty to think about yet in the Georgia cam paign, but 1t seems that there are a lot of people who had rather be fooled by mere protense, noise and false is- sues than to think" Same here, brother.-Montgomer Advertiser.
 It is no indication of a lessening of our high indication for the opinion of these two esteemed contemporaries that we diner from them in the conclusion that they have reached in this matter.
 The pending gupernatorial campaigns in Georgia and Alabama are remarka- bly, similar in one notable respect. In each state there is a candidate who Is endeavoring to reach the governors s chair through the prejudice which they think exists. or which they hope to create, on the part of the people against railroads. They are endeav- bring to make 1t appear that the rail- roads are robbers and the dominant power in politics, to the great deter ment of the interests of the people, They declare that they favor moreover the enactment of the special laws for the control of railroads, thus singling out these corporations for class legisla- ton
 No one would pretend that the man agement and course of the railroads are perfect. Yet few believe that they are guilty of the iniquitles with which they are charged, We have an abiding faith that Tn this and in all other matters involving justice and equal treatment under the law and the interests of the state. the people will select and stand firm upon the naldAls

An article in a recent issue of Spare Moments" on the subject The Log Cabin in American History" has this sentence: There was time when the new world was under the dominion of the aborigines. wild savages who felled the giants of the forests and hewed them into huts." The writer, MT. Van denberg, has allowed his imagination to run away with him. In their ab- original condition the Indians of North America had nothing in the shape of axes except small stone hatchets, and to speak of their cutting down the giants of the forests" with such tools is absurd It is hardly less so to in- innate that they built log houses. for such house building as they did bore little resemblance to the log houses built by the whites. The Indians were capable of great patience and perse- verance but they didn't cut down big trees to build wigwams

Cunningham The Man For Governor.

Hon. Russell M. Cunningham, Lieu tenant Governor of Alabama and can didate for nomination for Governor in the August primary, will open his cam paign in East Alabama, by an address in Opelika on Monday, April 23, 1906.
 Dr. Cunningham is the logical can didate of the Alabama Democracy for Governor. He possesses every quali- fication to discharge the duties of that important office to the entire sat- isfaction of the people. He is a man of the highest honesty, integrity and capacity. His word is his bond. He has always been as true as steel to his people and his convictions. His record is perfectly consistent and pa triotic and has always been for the development and advancement of Ala bama He is and has eyer been on the right side of every question.
 He was an earnest champion and ad- vocate of the adoption of the new constitution and negro disfranehise- ment. No man in Alabama did more for this than he did.
 He is in favor of freight regula- tion, education of white children, in- creased pensions for Confederate vet erans and an improvement tn our coun- ty convict system.
 Br Cunningham is a brilliant orator and an eloquent statesmen.
 We repeat he Is the logical candi- date for Governor and The Post will do all in its power to assist In his nomination.
