South; that not at Bunker Hiil. but at Alamanac, "the shot fired was heard round the world" and that at York town, Virginia, the British power was broken. That the constitution was written by Southern man; that for half century the South was in power in Congress, and the Presidents were taken from the Southern States. Mir. Hefiin contended that the principle of accordance with the constitution. and that the North had now come to ad- init it. He said that he did not be- lieve with some. that God ordained the fall of the Confederacy, but 1t was clear repetiofon of history, where the strong despoiled the weak. MT. Hefiin took occasion to say that he lamented the action of Judge Jones in regard to the railroad question. and not submit. Mir. Heflin interspersed his speech with humorous stories. and maintained his reputation for holding the intense interest of his audience longer than most speakers.
 1t is conceded by every one that the pretty little town of Equality has as good people as can be found anywhere in Alabama. They deserve praise for many virtues. but especially for the interest they take in education. Equal ity Is the center of school interest for Coosa County. It has a handsome school building. a splendid corps of teachers and for four years has main talned spring normal for teachers. which has made the splendid record of establishing s5 per cent of those taking the course to pass the State examination. An effort win be made to obtain for this place the high school for Coosa County and certainly no other town fin the county is so educa- tionally alive and deserves this honor SO much c. H. Howard.

 DistuFbance.

Since the action of the Montgomery Traction Company in denying passes to various city officels and friends of the company, under it's construction placed on the recent arti-pass law of the Legislature, the rumor has been going tho rounds in this city that Mayor Teague and the City Council will take steps looking towards the testing of the law. so far as concerns, particularly. members ofsthe Police De- partment
 Mayor Teague could not be seen yesterday concerning the report owing to the fact that he left the city yester- day morning on a vacation of several days, and other of the city offirials. who have been approached concerning the matter are non-commital and reti- cent
 The contention is made that a test case could possibly be made out of the law in regards to the policemen of the city. upon the ground that In his hands is placed the protection of the individual as we'll as of the cor poration.
 Because of tFe fact that police de- partment is small one the suburbs of the city are not as we'll patrolled as should be the case. Tn times of dan ger, moreover, a squad of policemen has to be sent to the scene of the trouble. and the Traction cars are oft- times resorted to.
 Should the city take steps to compel the Traction Company to allow the pat rolmen free transportation, 1t Is quite probable that another clause including the sanitary department of the city and also the engineering department would be added.
 However, all the agitation so far started Is aimed in the direction of securing police protection in the suburbs of the city and In other points where the city is not fully guarded by the minions of the law.

CUSHNIAN ON JONES.

OF unusual significance is the
plain, direct tribute which Congress
man Cushmlan paid the character
and private and public worth of his
colleague, the Hon. Wesley l.. Jones,
in the lower house of congress. Mr..
Cushman has served eight years with
Mr.. Jones, and speaks, therefore, by
the book in all he says concerning
the faithfiJ'ness, energy, efficiency
and intelligence with which his as
sociate has met his obligations to
the people of the state of Washing
ton.
Special significance attaches to
this statement because Mr.. Cush-
man admits that he regards Sena
tor Ankeny as his warm personal
and political FRIEND and has never
coined in a harangue of abuse
against the senator.
Mr.. Cushman voiced the sentiment
of a vast majority of the people of
this state when he said he believes
Jones will make "a better senate,
than Ankeny." Indeed, Mr.. Ankeny's
services have been so near the ire
ducible minimum it is hardly fair to

achievements, to institute any such

Both Mr.. and Mrs. Keuhn are very

keuhn had complained of a slight
sore throat, but it was thought these
difficulties could be overcome by the
proposed honeymoon trip, when Sun

quarantine, it being believed that the

In company with Mr.. and Mrs.

1t is refreshing 10 note the gen.
eral expression of the state press en-
dorsing Congressman Wesley L.
Jones candidacy for United States
senator, espe, tally because of the
fact that he is a man of limited
means. Mr.. Jones record in the
house entities him to the serious
consideration of the entire state. He
stands upon his public service, not
upon his wealth (if he has any and
asks the endorsement of all honest
men. The newspapers, that are COM
ing forward so spontaneously to his
support, are not fulfilling the pro-
phecy made by the opponents of the
direct primary, that ii would furnish
a means of graft for the press. They
have not been seen: they have
merely recognized the necessity Of
having creditable representation in
the upper house of congress, and it
is only in compliance with popular
sentiment that Mr.. Jones has been
made the recipient of such generous
edorsement from the newspapers Of
the state.-Mt. Vernon Argus.

The woman who recently escaped
from the officials here while being
taken to Medical Lake has a history
most pathetic. Commenting upon
her life and character the Oregonian
says:
The wreck of wreck of a woman,
formerly beautiful, accomplished and
respected is recorded in the commit
ment to the insane asylum at Medi-
cal Lake, Wash, of Mrs. McCon.
naughy of Seattle. formerly the wife
Of Lieutenant Hetherington, L. S. y.
This climax of a wasted, maynard
life was reached through excessive
use of morphine and alcoholic stimu-
lantS. 1t represents one of the most
pitiable of human wrecks and one O..
the most hopeless. CenSure dies in
compassion when a derelict of this
type, after buffeting for years the
waves of a stormy, uncharted sea
the weak sport of every passing
breeze-at length finds anchor In
we'll guarded harbor. Passing over
the dark chapters in this womans
history; the disgrace that her way
war dness brought upon an honored
name; the shame that her conduct
brought to those who knew her best
and loved her most; the wreck OF
body and mind that followed an IN
governed life. let the mantle of char
fty fall between her and the censure
that involuntarily rises when her
name is mentioned. The final entry
in her book of life is likely soon to
be made. In the meantime. the COM
passion that is engendered by the
story of her wayward life may ftly
be voiced in the simple words of
Whittier:
Where'er her troubled path may be
The Lords sweet pity with her go!

HOP GROWERS ARE
BLUE OVER THE
PROSPECT

The Washington hop crop this sea-
cording to well informed hop men.
OF this $4,000 bales $4,000 will be
raised in the Puget sound region,
principally in King, Pierce and Lew
is counties, and other $4,000 bales
in the Yakima valley, states a Taco
ma report.
The hop industry is tilted at a
decidedly blue angle for the growers
of the state, and for that matter for
growers the world over. While the
acreage IS large with big crops, prices
are so low that growers of the North
Northwest are wondering if they are
going to break even.
Keen observers say the condition
is caused by an over-production of
hops. This seasons crop in the
United States will amount to $780,
600 bales with the country consum-
ng but from 100000 to 270,0v0
bales, leaving an enormous surplus
of nearly 10000 bales for Shipment
to foreign countries. England comes
to the rescue every season by taking
from $4,000 to 10000 bales, and this
season, according to Isaac Pincus of
Tacoma, a ''hop expert" will take
10000 bales.
But against tbs large export Ger
man hops to the amount of about
10000 bales will be imported. These
conditions have pulled the price of
hops in the Northwest down and
down until last seasons hops are
now marked at but from to 6
scents pound. There are still 50,-
900 pounds of last years hops on the
Coast. and If sales should be made
at the present prices, it would mean
a loss Of about $4,000. Mr.. Pincus
soys, to the growers, 1t costing IN
the neighborhood Of 10 cents a
pound taking into account the price
paid labor, to raise hops.
"At the present tme," said Mr..
Pincus. -'It looks somewhat dis
heartening for the hop growers OF
Washington, owing to the low prices.
There is nothing doing in contracts,
and in some places holders of old
hops are throwing them on the mar
ket at almost nothing. Neverthe-
less, there may be a reaction at any
time. In 1882. when hops in this
state went to $1.05 pound the
prices were as much on at the open
ing of the season as they are now.
Hops were contracted at the outset
that year at 10 cents q pound.
The over-production of hops is
caused by large numbers going into
the growing business. In 1902, 1903
and 1904, prices Of hops ranged from
% to 81 cents a pound. These at
traetive prces greatly increased thu
acreage and the output at once enor-
mously expanded. In 1902 the hop
crop of the United States amounted
to 10000 bales. In 1903 it was
100000 bales. In 1904 it was 1885,
