ATTRACTIVE PHRASES.

It is really wonderful what an at- traction the dear peepul' have for the small politician and the political demagogue. It is phrase that rolls glibly from the tongue of all such. and they troll it forth with what Shake speare calls 'damnable iteration" on all occasions. This sort loves the peo- pie, dotes on them
 As the seadog dotes
 On the small suit fry that around him floats"
 and the ingenuity shown in finding a chance to work off the phrase Is lit- tie less than remarkable. These mouth ing orators love the people solely for what they can get out of them. It is to the people that they look for of- flee and the pickings thereof As long as they are in the office-seeking busi- ness they are the champions of the people, on the musings, in the halls of the legislation and in all other places where opportunity ls gwen them u shoot off their mouths.
 And then "the hornyhanded sons of toil.' is another mouth filling phrase that is male to do duty in and out of season. It sounds so good, and is sup posed to be a sure recipe for vote ge-- ting. It is quite true that these orators never have any horny hands produc- ed by honest labor. The only horns the J have are on their tongues. Those or gans would suffer paralysis. were 1t not that they grow more Timber and elastic by constant use.
 We have often thought that the real honest citizens of the country have cause to feel insulted when one of these blovicating orators gets up be- fore an audience and lets himself loose about the dear people, the horny hand ed sons of toll and the like. The hear CTS ought to see that it is all done with the hope and expectation of blinding the people and getting their votes. 'Ill tickle you real good if you'll vote for me-" is what such speeches mean May the good Lord protect us from this class of statesmen!

To Greet Foreign Spinners. (From Manufacturers Record of Balti-

Announcement that at least seventy five representative manufacturers from foreign lands are expected to attend the International Conference of Cotton Growers, Spinners and Manufacturers at Atlanta, Octo. CT, 7-9, taking in the conference as a part of nineteen days tour through the South and other parts of the country. Is really an announce- ment of the carrying out of plan suggested by the Manufacturers Record three years ago. In our issue August IS, 1904, we made the follow
 If the cotton manufacturers of the South and New England should jointly arrange for visit to this country by a large body of British millowners and managers it would be an international event of the greatest importance. 1T the visitors should be given opportuni- ty to inspect some of the best New England mills and also some of the sGsfi' Rosd pseSsby De 1%s se. of valuable results for all concerned; In the South, too, the visitors would have an opportunity to see, as few of them ever have seen. how their great staple Is raised and marketed Such an in sight into the superior resources of the South as a region for cotton manu- fracture would be a revelation. indeed. to visitors from abroad. md should be of material benefit to that section
 The suggestion was enthusiastically seconded by executives of Southern States, municipal authorities. heads of organized cotton interests and representative bankers and manufac- turers and invitations from Governors in the citton States and from many cities and business organizations were sent through The Manufacturers Record Tho suggestion was viewed with favor in influential quarters abroad It was not put into effect at the time. however, because the foreign manufacturers were led into misapprehension of the situation in this country. This, however. was dis sipated by sub 'uent meetings of foreigners with cotton manufacturers of this country and by a trip taken some thing more than a year ago through the cotton growing States of a commission of foreign spinners It is hoped that the plan for the tour ot the South this year in connection with the international conference at Atlanta may be carried out. The Manufac- turers Record is sure that Southern communities will welcome the oppor- tunity to greet the visitors from abroad As the matter now stands the arrangements for the whole trip from New York to Texas and out tn ,ugh the Southwest have been placed in the hands of MT.

 That is very good. We cannot con- ceive of any reason why a Democrat should nominate Foraker for an off, flee and we are glad to know that none has ever done so.

E<OURTH NATIONAY
 BANK

The chief concern of the officers and directors of the Fourth National Bank of Montgomery is the welfare of the depositors and the security of their deposits. It's officials are men of in- tegrity and sound business judgment, and your money is absolutely safe when confded to their care. The long and honorable record of the institution and the steady growth of its pat. ronage furnish eloquent testimony to the fact that it has at all times commanded the conf dence of its patrons, and this characteristic was never more prominent than at the present time. An expansion of deposits from q l,035,- 3ses3 in March 1906 to s, ,465, ,124.ss in March 1907 could not have taken place without pains taking and successful effort to render satisfact- ion to the business community.
 Banks, corporations, firms and individuals desiring the very best service that a strong, modern bank, efficiently oficered and thorough ly equipped, can furnish are cordially invited to open accounts here.

Which Has Been Made BY An Emi.

Last fall an eminent scientist and
great traveller introduced to the peo-
pie of TT. Wayne. Ind, a discovery
resulting from extensive travels.
hard study and much experimenting,
that has not become the talk OF TT.
Wayne, Ind, only. but the whole
northern Indiana, and from general
reports has done a wonderful lot Of
good and promises to do worlds of
good in the future 1t seems the
discovery is principally composed of
roots. therefore is called Root Juice.
and it is claimed by many that the
energizing effects of one swallow of
the Juice is almost instantaneous.
Hundreds of people of FIT. Wayne,
Marion, Logansport. Richmond and
other points in Indiana, that had
suffered for years with various
chronic ailments were apparently re-
stored to perfect health in a very
short while with very small portion
of the Juice. 1t seems that it re-
lieves almost any trouble of the stom-
ach. liver, kidneys, bowels or blood.
