The warmest fight that has ever oc- cured in Alabama is now on at Mont gomery over the ng9of 8rn5on 8uession' .ba It police force of the town to keep the leaders on the one side from killing those of the other side.--Chattanooga Times. If this spirit of intolerance continues, this republic will very soon become more oppressive than the most Aespised monarchy of tine modern age. Rome Tribune.
 what a wonderful mass of misin- formation to be crowded into one short paragraph!
 Barring the minor statement that a prohibition campaign is shaping in Montgomery, the paragraph is filled with fancy and error. There is no in- tolerance here. It may come later but the campaign so far has moved along its way as gently as one of, these rare october days. There may be heat and strife in the campaign but not now.
 Montgomery is really too busy to get excited just now. We are on the eve of giving the best State Fair the South has had. The Legislature will be here in few days. The city is brushing up to entertain the Confed- crate Veterans. We have so many other things to look forward to and prepare for, that our people are not dividing and calling each other names.
 Then the cotton crop is coming in. The Square and streets are filled with country wagons, the stores, brave in their fall finery are filled with shop pers. The noise from the street rises to mingle with the clang and clatter of the steel workers on the new sky scrapers and busy people push by each other on the crowded sidewalks. No, there is no strife and hatred now.
 Besides Montgomery's october wealth CT, clear, bracing and shot to the core with sunshine is no fit weather for hatred and for strife.

WHERE WILL TT ENDs

It does seem that the times are very much out of joint these days, if they have ever been so in this old world of ours. Throughout almost every part of this country there seems to be a wave of death pervading the universe. Explosions. wrecks. catastrophes of all kinds by which human lives are lost are becoming so common as hardly to excite surprise. Every time we take up a daily newspaper we may expect to find an account of some dire disas- ter through which lives are lost. In fact, it Is more of surprise to find that day has passed without some hor- rible happening than it is to read ac- counts of something fresh in the way of accidents and catastrophe.
 What is the matter with the old,, old world, anyhow? Has hurry and recklessness and disregard for human life taken possession of all the human family? Ships and boats run aground and are wrecked, trains run off the track or collide, explosions take place in mills, mines and factories. and, in short, almost everything that can be possible is taking place and causing loss of life in all directions. In short, there appears to be nothing horrible that doesn't lhappen somewhere.
 n hak ho nd tition of the strenuous life of the pres ent day is superceding all else. The paramount object is to "get there first" and in order to carry out that object all ordinary precautions are ignored or forgotten. To fight and struggle for advantage or supremacy, to ae- complish any given object in advance of all others. or to arrive at given point before another can reach it. these appear to be the dominating feel ings in this country above all others
 And with this hurry-lust on the peo- pie 1t seems that there is added an almost universal wave of carelessness. In almost every serious disaster that occurs, whether it is a bridge or a building. or whether in the running of train or a boat, the almost universal report shows that "some one had blum dered." The recent crumbling of an immense building in the course of con- struction in New York. the fearful bridge catastrophe near Quebec. and others to which we might refer, all i indicate either carelessness or incompe- tency one or both. but either or both brought death and suffering to many. It may have been through the employ ment of incompetent men, or it may have been due to the hurry that domi- mates all our actions. but the result is the same in the end-the inexcusable destruction of human life.
 And so it is on the railways of the country. We have some of the finest and best locomotives and running ma chinery in the world, but this does not lessen the chapter of accidents. if that is the proper term. A misunderstand- ing of orders, wrong order given, a misplaced switch, an unsafe bridge, a broken rail-a1l these alternate or com pine to swell the harvest of death.

TRAINING THE HANDS.

With each generation the tendency of modern educational methods is towards the education and training of the hand as well as the head. and the advan- tages of such teaching are thus refer red to by The New York commercIal: The Massachusetts Commission of In- dustriai Education has been making an investigation of the record of some eight hundred young men working at graduate of the elementary school who took up trade without any previous technical training, earned at fourteen years of age $4 . week and at twenty who spent four years at technical school and took up a trade at eighteen earned SIC week. and at twenty-fiys student without technical training earned s5.122, and the student with technical training $7.3s7.
 Facts and figures like these are worth volumes of theories. Slow as men were to see It, industrial and mechanical training should be put down as among the essentials of modern education- To send a. young man out into the world to earn liv- ing at some mechanical occupation when he has no Knowledge of tools or their uses is something like putting him to the practice of law or medicine without having acquired any kncwledge of either. The boy who proposes to become a doctor or a lawyer these days is trained and filled for the profession at school and college. In the case of the prospective surgeon. he is given the opportunity to learn how to use the instruments before he Is ready for real practice.
 Why should not the like rule be ad- hered to in the case of the boy who wishes to adopt some mechanical or other industrial occupation? It used to be said that any man has sense enough to be a farmer, and if there was par ticuiar dull boy in the family but lit- tie attention was paid to his educa- tion. s"He' knows enough to be far mer," was the verdict and that ended |
 it.
 Fortunately we are getting out of that old rut. Observing people are fast learning that farming is a science, and that special training and prepara- tion are necessary to make success full farmer. If this is so palpably true of farming it is much more true of some of the trades open to the young men of the country. To be good engineer, architect. machinist, woodworlxer or anything of the kind there must not only be some taste and aptitude for the business, but the boy should have the necessary experimental training before
 being expeeted or required to begin actual work. Reading sthe statistics and figures given above it is easy to
 see why and how practical education and training benefit those who are destined to take up some of the vari-
 ous industrial occupations. Facts and figures are always better than opinions and theories.

To Look After His Own.
Our Legislature,

Gadsden Tines-News.
 aWhen the nones or Novenper sna,. 1... have passed, Governor Comcr ana the Legislature will meet in extraorutnary, session to lambast the railroads. That is what the session Is for ana lt estar
 fishes a precedent in the lcgisiatiy" history of the United States lt ie nractically a usurpation of the Judicial
 funations of the State. for it rroposeS to take command1of the laws, lntefpIs
 them and see. that they are enforced
 We are not condoning the acts oL aae n railroads that are attempting 10 evaGe inc laws. They have probably uone 2 very unwise thing in continuing to hota out when nearly all of the systems in
 the State have yielded to the law an0 arranged their ratc books accordingty.' Rnt If appears a very unwise thing on
 fine part of the Governor to nalt thQ lawrnaking body of the great ~tate ot Alabama together in extra session Tor the purpose of enforcing a Ia" 'nas iS already on the statute books.
 Another thing, when the members
 get to Montgomery and /become nred with a desire to do something, mere
 is just no telling what they win do nor what laws they will pass, The
 members who are leaders Cor rather, sub- -leaders) in the present General As-
 sembly are not noted. for their conserY
 attsm They have reconstructed every thing they touohed. That some Of tbe laws passed are good is not to be gain
 said. but that some Of them are rad,-
 cal revolutionary and unnecessary is
 just as plain. The law-making power
 is A tremendous responsibility to rest
 uuon a body of men and when that
 mower is used to gratify. the whtms and caprices of single man 1t becomes
 a dangerous weapon. It IS extremely
 doubtful if a majority of the people Q! this State would confirm the laws passed and the act of the Governor Tn lscaIling the extra session. The news
 papers of the.State have tried to stem the tide. but without kNccess, and II is with forebodings thatNwe await the result of the extra session. The pos sible result may be to bring the Stats and Federal authorities in direct con liet and then the State will be forced to yield to the general government Through it all Alabama is gaining an unpleasant notoriety in the marts oi l trade and in the money centers. It IS | of vastly more importance that the South should have her resources de. veloped than that the people should ride a mile for two and half cents. Tn prosperity it is easy to pay three cents | to ride and the old rate to ship than 1t is 1 to pay the cheaper rates in times of i- l nancial depression and adversity. There | has been a distinct check to develop ment in the past twelve months. NC | one doubts this who is familiar with l current affairs. It is traceable to ad- | verse legislation by some Of the | Southern States. Let us hopel that the end of such legislation is reached.

Sometimes an accident Is unavoidable. There are some happenings which no human foresight can guard against or prevent. but these are much less in number than should be the case. A great number of disasters are avoidabie or prevsntahle if proper care and pre- caution were observed at all times. It might involve little more time, a little more care and . little more ex- pense, but the saving of>iife. limb and property would far overbalance any sordId considerations.
 But the hurry-lust is on us, over us and around us, and 1t doesn't seem pos- sible to escape it. Expressive or cor rective laws are ignored or disregard ed. and men go their own way, full speed, ahead and "deil take the hind- ermost." Even the automobiles. which one might think could be controlled and regulated. are continually adding to the great list of damages. In some portions of. the country, especially in and around the great cities of the North and East the owners and operators of these modern devil wagons" apparent ly have no regard for the safety of others. Their only object is speed and they gain that at the expense of hu- man life. Win life in this country ever become more rational and conserva- tive, or will it become more radical and recklessg

But he getsf pretty ''bad" editorially some times when he touches up the governor, blind tigers. etc,-Greensboro Watchman
 This is time a. fellow has to look happy and whistle to keep his courage up Bro. Yerby. Meal $1,0O per bushel oats 75 cents per bushel; hams 1S cents per pound; breakfast bacon 21 'ents per pound; flour close along to $500 per barrel; chickens 30 to 50 cents apiece; eggs 30 cents dozen, and all dry goods, clothing. shoes hats. and etc, 50 to 100 per cent higher than this time a year ago. Having to meet these prices, We are glad We can not be further oppressed by excessive tax ation. An extra session of the legislature at cost of a million dollars day would be no terror for us If railroad fare was free hotel bills would keep us at home; and if no freight charges were entered up on the 110 Conner commodities We couldn't buy a shipment. Yes, sir we are just rolling over in laughter, and to see the governor sell that 1s.O00 acres of Barbour county land before the tax gobblins get him near ly tickles us to death.

 The Sheffield Standard tells the whole truth and nothing but the truth when 1t says The Montgomery Advertiser has always been the warm friend of the weekly press. In every appropriate way The Advertiser has demonstrated this fact And the weekly press think a great deal of The Advertiser,--and the weekly editors are good judges of what a good daily is. That The Adver- tiser is the. leading paper in the State they hove no doubt. It is honest, cour- ageous, public spirited and as an all- round newspaper has no superior There are thousands of people in Ala bama who would rather do without their breakfast than without The Ad- vertlser-and this writer Is one of those thousands.
