The Richmond Times-D Dispatch tells of young girl who had graduated from a school of stenography, went out to hunt employment, but failed at every turn. She complained to the manager, who ascertained that in insk- ing the rounds she wore a picture hat and jewels. and looked more like a duchess than a working girl, and said she had been chasing a Job three days without success. We told her. says the manager, we would guarantee her a place at the end of a days search if she would dress as we told her to. She agreed to this. and we removed the jewels, replaced the picture hat with a modest and unpretentious one, and told her to put on neat white cuffs. She did this, and got work upon the second application"
 There is a lesson in this that may be of advantage to others. There is no disgrace in a girl doing honest work in this day and time. when so much of the worlds work is done by women. neither is it any discredit to a work Ing woman to dress the part when at work A woman can be as attractive in neat working dress while she is at work as she could be in any other ap- parel If they will bear this in mind they will be more successful.

superstitlous- and popular beliefs |

Expectations and popular beliefs in connection with the moon are among the most vital things one can encounter these days. We do not aIIude to the old fable about the man in the moonr or the woman eAher, for they are ap- parently established for all time. but to the popular belief that our nocturnal luminary exerts an appreciable effect on the weather. ono person will firm ly believe that if the new moon Ties on her back it means a rainy month, and another will just as obstinately contend that it means dry season. If either is correct, or both wrong, it makes no difference. for both will stick 10 their opinion. That the changes of the moon affect the weather is more firmly fixed belief than tho other, but whether 1t rests on d better foun- dation Is a matter of opinion Such beliefs are not confined to the ignor- ant and uninformbd by any means, for there are many educated people who are not exempt from them It may partake largely Of superstition, but believers in the moon arc not scarce.

Why Many People Suffer
 From Constipation,
A Sure and Safe Relief.

Constipation Is most often caused by a torpid liver or failure of the stomach and bowels to perform their proper functions. The condition is commonly due at first to irregular habits of liv- ing and improper food, and If properly treated can be readily relieved. It is, however, too often aggravated and made chronic by the use, as medicine, of powereful and expensive drugs, which purge and perhaps give tempo rary relief, but are so drastic in effect as to damage the tender lining of the stomach and bowels, leaving condi- tion worse than at first. This can, however, be avoided, and the bowels gently and thoroughly opened by the use of Natures own remedy-the fa nous Natural Mineral Laxative Water -HUNYADI 5ANOS-which has been relieving sufssring mankind all over tho world for nearly half a century. One dose, 1-2 a tumblerful, drunk on arising in the morning, (slightly warm ed for best results) will, within an hour, bring a delightful and refresh ing relief A whole bottle costs but a trife, and 1t is best to keep one al- ways on hand. Every Druggist keeps it..

Mir. Conner has taken the broad po- sition that the Railroad Commission, of which he is the President, has no power and that the people must de- pend upon Legislature made rates. What sort of position would that leave the people in2, The Legislature meets once in four years and under Mir. Comer's construction rate fixed would have to stand that length of time un- less the Legislature was called in extra session every time 8 change was de- sired. That would be a troublesome and expensive business. Every State near Alabama might have lower rates and the people of this State would be compelled under Mir. Comer's views to hold on to those established by the Legislature. His idea of saying that existing rates should be the maximum until changed would do the people no good The Commission has the power to do what MT. Conner asks in the way of freight rate regula- ton but he wants to. be Governor and trumps up the excuse Of the commits sion's being powerless.

A,compInint From the south.
Richmond Times-Dispatch.


 The Montgomery Advertiser is be- coming firmly convinced that some thing should be done to protect the eolored people in the North from Ill are safe nowhere, it seems. says our Southern contemporary, north of Mason and Dixon's line, and are appar- ently regarded as outlaws who have no civil rights and are entitled to no pro- lection"
 This is simply de-lig Atful. It reads something like satire, but there IS so so sincere that 1t must re taken as the serious expression of representative Southern newspaper, which has, as all true Southerners have. the kindest re- gard for the brother in black. The Ad- vertiser speaks particularly of the riot at Springfield, Ohio, which, as has at- ready been pointed out is in the dis- trlct of Congressman Kiefer. And Con- gressman Keifer is the latest champion of negro rightsi and the latest to in- sist that the representation Of the South shall be cut down because the negro vote has been reduced.
 But 1t Is not on the score of suffrage that The Advertiser complains. It ad- mits that the North allows the negro to vote, and that the black man Is some times allowed to sit at the white mans table; but says that these are about the only rights which Northern negroes enjoy. The right to be an industrious citizen: to live at peace among the
  tition with white 1abor-these are not looked on as being among the vested rights of a colored individual after he leaves his Southern home.
 Has the attention of The Advertiser been called to an article recently ap- bearing in The Chicago Chronicle, in which it was confessed that the negro mechanic bad little chance to earn a livelihood in that city? Has its atten- tion been called to recent communica- tions in The Philadelphia Ledger in which it is confessed by one corres- pondent and confirmed by another that the black man Is much more prosper ous in the far South than he Is in Phil adelphia, and that the condition of the black man in the South is altogether better than that of the black man In the North?
 tracts and in our comments spoke of the friendly relationship between the Whites and blacks of Virginia. The Ad Vertiser says that the same relationship exists in Montgomery: that there is hardly an industry in that city in which negroes are not working; that white man and black man work side by side in peace and harmoriy, and that when the days work Is over ecah goes his own way; that the negroes have their homes in every quarter of the city, and as long as they conduct themselves that the negro in Montgomery is safe from molestation or any form of im- position or maltreatment just so long as he Is a decent and orderly citizen.
 That is the case in Richmond, and we believe it is the case in every order race separation, but no race antagon. ism. The line is drawn, and each race keeps on it's side. But that is the way to have peace.

FRIDAY. MARCH 9, 1Oes.
MIR. coMER AND THE ADVERTISER.

In his speech last night at the court house, Mfr. Conner did not deal fairly with The Advertiser as to the matter published in it's columns, for which he entered suit against it. The same mat ter appeared in two Birmingham pa- pers and suit was entered also against one or both of them. If he had stated exactly all that was said to him and by him in The Advertiser office at the the matter was handed in for publi- cation. we would have nothing to say As he did not do this we must make this statement.
 After the State primary in 1904, at which Mir. Conner, as he expresses it re- celved "a Jim Dandy Majority he came into The Advertiser business of fec and met Mir. Glass. He asked from whom the 'Dickert," matter which was published the day before the pri- mary election as an advertisement, was received. He was told by whom and by what committee it was furnished. He expressed some surprise when he learned that no one connected with the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, had procured its publication. He then asked Mir. Glass if he thought it was right to publish that kind of matter under any conditions. MT. Glass told him frankly that he did not and that if either he or Major Screws had seen ie Saturday night it would not have appeared in The Advertiser, as we were not hunting libel suits. He was further told by MT Hanson, the ad- vertising manager of the paper, that it came in at a late hour Saturday night and that as he had received other advertisements from tho same parties during Inc campaign which were unob- jectlonahle, he handed in the matter without examination. These are the facts in the case and all that occur red.

 Her Life And she Recommends

 Doctors have given the Greek name Anaemia, meaning 'bloodlessness," to a disease which is much mora nreva- lent among young women than Is gem orally believed. In its early stages the disease is not marked by any decided symptoms and often makes consider able advance before it's presence Id noticed. An unusual feeling of fatigue after slight exercise, breattfessners and pailor are the first ffoticeable signs. The disease literally causes the blood to turn to water and, unless d proper remedy is used. is inevitably fa- tai
 There are some who still believe that anaemia is incurable but the fol- lowing case is fully substantiated and may be Investigated by any one in- terested:
 Main street, Kalamazoo. Mich. says: When I was sixteen years old I was taken quite i'll. so i'll that the family doctor was called to attend me. I was pale and weak and did not gain under his care. Other treatment brought no better result and by the time I was nineteen years old I was so. weak that I could not walk across the floor. was terribly emaciated and my skin had lost all color. The doctor in at tendance had pronounced the disease anaemia. - About this time one of my friends, Miss Huntley, advised me to try pr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People as she had been cured of a somewhat similar trouble by their use. l bought a package and soon found that they were doing me good. My appetite i'm creased and the healthy color began to show in my checks and lips. I contin- A- Ak~ -s1f 1T l. T 4 em fifteen boxes when I found myself permanently cured.
 Since then I have never had any return of my old trouble and cannot remember time when was as strong and healthy as now. | know that Dr. Williams Pink lIls for Pale People saved my life and believe that no other medicine could have done SO. advise ail my friends to try the pills and always find that they are benefited by them. hope that this testimonial may be the means of hundreds of suf-l ferers finding cure for their ills"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills cure anaemia just as food cures hunger. They do not act on the bowels but they actual ly make new blood. Most common dis eases are caused by bad blood, and Dr. Williams Pink Pills by supplying the Nelements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood have cured even such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, seiatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nerv- ous headache, the after-effects of the grip, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complications and all forms of weakness either in male or female.

T am glad to see.' said a well known travelling man who was in the city yes terday. that Montgomery is going to have State Fair. It is one of the best moves the people of the city have made in a long while. and will more than repay the parties who are back of it.
 I have heard one person speak in approval of it today. I have heard twenty and every one seems enthusi- astic over it. It is just such enter prises which make a city grow. Look at Birmingham and Atlanta, and Selma. The fairs they have had, in addition
 payIng the people who put their money into it good dividends, have brought thousands of people from the surrounding country to those cities. not to mention the people from other States which make the fairs an oc- easion for a visit.
 The Southern cities want to attract all the attention they can just now. People in other sections are beginning to realize the opportunities for deyel- opment there are down here. and when they see that the people themselves are not afraid to start enterprises and back them for all they are worth, they are going to sit up and take notice.
 ''fne fair which you are going to have in Montgomery IS good thing wnlch should have been started several
 ears ago, and now that it has been set under way it should receive the support of every loyal inhabitant of the scity.

Mir Conner attacks the valuation of railroad property in this State as too small. although 1t is taxed relatively higher than any other species of prop erty and the Board of Assessment at it's last meeting virtually so declared. If the railroads enjoyed the immunity from taxation which q considerable portion of property does, viz: certain cotton factories. the State would not receive dollar from railroads. instead of receiving as 1t does one sixth the entire amount from taxes on property. No body is complaining of those particular cotton mills enjoying the benefit of non taxation authorized by law. but fair minded people do not think 1t good to tax one great industry beyond reason in order 10 make up for what is lost on non taxation of property of another class, even if some of the latter should be owned by Mir Conner.

appointment as President of the Commission in case he should be elected Governor. It Is sx- actly in line with the idea of desig- hating alternate Senators. If MT. Co., mer does not do this he will be justly chargeable with desire to hold on to his present position and if elected Governor to have the power of appoint ing his successor, thus robbing the peo- pie of the right for which he was cIam- orous until he got the office he now holds.

nAILRoAp vALuATIoNs.

The assessed valuation of railroad property in Alabama by the State ';oard of Assessment for the year 1904 (sce State Auditors report fore 1904 exhibit yII) amounts to $53,539, ,S62.S6 itemized as follows:
 4207 g55 miles train track
 valued at .. SfS'elVie'%'"V 1179.2sI miles side track and
 .brancheS .... '.'-'. o'ess o'1So'o = W ~ Rolling stock .. .... b.oVz'sss .uO Total .... .... .. ..s53.53e,ss2 80
 There has been an increase of oyer A., ,0o0. .0oO for current year
 The assessment by the Board, however, covers only the items of main track. side track, roll ing stock and right of way. It does not cover other property owned by railroad companies, such as depots, section houses, real estate, shops. whereas, tanks. tools. machinery and fixtures which is assessed by the local authorities in the various counties and cities traversed by the railroads. For instance, the handsome Union Passen- ger station at Montgomery is assessed by the county authorities here. and the State Board of Assessment has nothing to do with 1t.
 Tn this way a large amount of prop erty is assessed to Railroad Companies which does not appear in the exhibit covering railroad valuations in the State Auditors reports.
 The total assessed valuation of all property in Alabama for the year 1904 (which includes the railroad assess ments referred to above) amounts to $324,124, ,343 .0o as shown by abstracts filed in the State Auditors office (see Auditors report for 1904, page 17.)
 It thus appears that the state Boards assessment of railroad property Cover ing only the tracks and folling stock) amount to practically one-sixth of the total assessed value of all property in the State. The railroad property as- sessment for the current year of $5S,- 000,000 keeps up the proportion of one- sixth of entire valuation.

Everybody knows that MT. Conner sought the Presidency of the Railroad Commission with all sorts of promises if elected, to reduce freight rates. With cut accomplishing anything he aban- dons the fight and seeks another posi- tion on the ground that the Comnis- sion has no power. He didn't talk that way when he was seeking the office he holds, and he is not right in talk
 ing that way now.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-03-09

The language of Alabamas Constitu- tion in the matter of regulating rail- roads is the same as that of Georgia and the supreme court of the United States has decided that the Legisla- ture of Georgia can delegate the fixing of rates etc, to a Commission The Alabama Legislature did that and gave ample power to the Commission MT. Conner runs away from the ground of his own choosing, abandons the po- sitlon where he can be of service and seeks a higher one, where he can only approved what Legislature does. What the Legislature can do is already on the statute books. He sim ply wants to be Governor and talk of railroad injustice is the means by which he hopes to obtain success.

Less Acrenge nnd LabOr.

Dadeville Spot Cash
 There seems to be growing idea among the farmers to increase the yield per acre instead of planting so many acres. This is made necessary by the scarcity of farm labor. The negroes have grown independent about working for wages, and when they do their labor is very unsatisfactory. These facts are forcing the farmer to adopt the intensive plan.
