A GOOD HELPER.

The organization of twenty-eight working newspaper men of Montgom- cry into Press Club. as proposed as the result of meeting Sunday after noon, with it's principal purpose that Of assisting the Commercial Club in boosting Montgomery, means great things for the city. Indeed. the fact that there are twenty-eight working newspaper writers in the city, repre- sentlng four different papers, means much for the progress and develop mcnt of the city of Montgomery.
 There gre many ways in which the men who are engaged in the business of writing things for publication, the men who kaow how to place facts be- fore the public in an attractive man. ner, may help to advertise Montgom- cry, and the Press Club if 1t be oper- ated on correct plan, should be Of material benefit to ths, city in its 1910 movement.

Paul NJ. Potter.

Paul NJ Potter, tine. well known dra- matist, was born at Brighton. Eng land, June 3. 1858. Though an Eng lishman by birth, his professional ca reer has been identified almost wholly with the stage in America. He began his career as London correspondent Of The New York Herald in 1871. and retained his connection with. that pa per for thirteen years. He came to America in 1885 and for a time was on the editorial staff of Chicago newspaper He began writing plays in 1889. his first production being The City Directory" The success of his initial effort prompted him to more ambitious work. and in 1892 he wrote a comedy called The American Min ister," which was produced by W. H, Crane Sheridan. or. the Maid of Bath" was written for E. H. Sothern in 1893. and in the same year another of MT Potter's plays. Our Country Cousins" was produced by Daniel Frohman. In 1895 he dramatized Dp- Mauriers novel of "Trilby," which met with wonderful success in both, the United States and England Other well known pieces from MT. Potter's per have been "The Conquerors," 'Un- der Two Flags" .'Notre Dame" and The School Girl"

JUST, so EVERYWHERE.

That was rather a nice lltle en- tanglement at one of the Pittsburg suburban schools recently There was n class of twelve young men to be graduated, one of them being a young negro. son of the village barber. It so came about that the negro stood ahead of all the others in proficiency and was selected by the principal as the Valedlc- torian of the class, an honor whleh placed him above all his fellows TOT that occasion. Thereupon seven of the white classmates not only refused 10 attend the closing exercises, but nave declared that they will not accept their diplomas Then the principal got back at them by asserting that they would not get their diplomas, even if they apphed for them. Thus it is, that un- less some kind of satisfactory ar rangement can be effected seven sneep- skins will .be put on cold storage at least for the present.
 Now, we do not propose to comment on this incident from either a racial or sectional point of view, but there are some features of the affair that seem to us to be somewhat inconsistent to say the least of it. Without knowing all the details of the matter we may at least assume that these white stu dents went through their term or study on equal terms with the colored one. It is also fair to assume that they had ample opportunity to observe his efficiency and to endeavor to outstrip him in effectiveness and preparation for the graduating exercises. Evident ly they suffered him to get ahead Of them, and if he was thus entitled to the position of honor student the principal could in strict justice do nothing else but award him the po- sition and honor of valedictorian for his class. If the honor had been award ed him merely because le was colored, or for any personal reason, the white students would have been right in re- senting it. but there is no proof of this. There is no evidence to show that the white boys objected to association with the negro. or to show that the latter was not deserving the honor. These bein the assumed facts that late kick of the white students was without merit. a.. .s .i-4 .- a4.5 s. -r4.
 But there is something in this little incident that is deserving of notice. It shows, first, that color prejudice, if we shall call 1t such, exists in Penn sylvania as well as the South, and that it is bound to come out when occas- ion offers. There was not an atom of evidence thet the objection to this stu dent and the honor conferred on him was based on anything but his color. Another point is that this affair shows the impropriety, to call it by no harsh CT term, of mixed schols, North or South. Trouble arises from this cause in New England, in the Middle States. in the West and in all other sections of. the, country, Doubtless there are enough negro children in and around P.ttsburg to authorize the establish ment and maintainence of good schools for the education of the colored chil- dren and for them alone; then there would De no friction, and no ill-feeling would be engendered. Possibly these truths will all be learned some day even in Pittsburg.

MOnlle Item.
 Commenting upon Hon Chamo C'arls's interview hearine on the next Democratic romiree in The Motgom~ cry Advertiser The Item Incidentally referred to the Missourians presence in Montgomery as due to compulsion, owin~ to trains not connecting. Tho Advertiser oN 'e"ted to this view of local fact and corrected it by saying that the Hon MT. Clark was in ,fontgom- cry of his own free will and accord. The Item takes pleasure in making the amende. since there was no intention to refer to Montgomery as a place which ono has to be compelled to stay. Montgomery is beautiful old city. :h in historv and ga;bed with high social standing; in fact. capital place which attracts the best of Alabama people; and certainly. the Hon. MT. Clarl1 must have found his brief stay pleasing enough to have wished that it hal b en d longer one. The error was due perhaps to a misreading of the local story in The Advertiser, and not to any deaire to jeer. To quote l. over Cleveland 1t was the accepting of a condition and not q theory.

Was Jefferson Davis traitor" is a question that has again sprung up, but what's the use? All the argu- ents and discussions that can be in dulged in fror' now until the crack of doom will not change any opinions or alter any facts When we say that he was not traitor 1t is just as convinc- ing as anything that can be said on the other side, The best answer to it all is that the United States Government after he was indicted never dared to have the case tried, and it was because the government lawyers knew he could not be convicted of treason.
