LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Let Us Have the Inspector.

uSCdAOOSus ob ApVA. Editor The Advertiser:
 The annual report of Dr. J. T. Scar cy, Superintendent of the Alabama In sane Hospital, will surely become hfs- fact that 1t is filled with important suggestions. The State has had no more important paper handed in by one of it's servants in quarter Of a century than Dr. SearcyS valuable re- port which has just been made public. The Legislature can spend some of it's valuable time in no way more to its credit than in giving us the benefit eft, of of that Dr. Searcy suggests.
 No thorough going temperance aRi- tator can make more forcetul argu- ment for the abolition or the llquo'r proposed legislation for inehrates Every observer knows that great many men under the influence of drink become just as Dr. Searcy deserioes' gerous tc others" And then follows the remarkable words, Tt Is best to recognize in the expression of the law that they arc objectionable members oi society and proceed ngainst them in Tho snmc way as against offendinP criminals It is host to have special logisiatt ion for them: to have them tried hv iurv. and sentenced to an inStitu- ton for their care and detention for a definite term. not less than thrcp months. oftcn"r six or twelve months or longer a"cordirg to the grade ot their alcohol. or dru., habit: with an incrcase1 torr- of detention it they re- laneo aff1~ lihora ton, Their own safe t,. pnd tho wtlfqre of others demand th"t ypor roreons he removed from so- o'otv. th0, TT. often as offensive. trou- h'osnric ar dangerous, as th" worst iue"n".
 Vow Goos that sound for the word nr a r,on that stands in the limNllght nr hivh and honorable reputation as one of the leadine experts ou mental diseases in th, Tinted States? These are the words of conservative au- thorjtv sroker without the intention to sunnort nnv s-erial temperance leg islattnn Lot AIahsma's solons hes' what our most eminent sperialist savs nf the evil the drink habit and lat them protect the victim and the public also.

Advertiser Answers Enquiry of Chi
 cagOan Regarding City.
 As an evidence of the interest which the people of the North are beginning to take in Montgomery as a direct re- suit of the 1910 movement the follow ing list of questions has been received by The Advertiser from a person in
 FIrst-what is your average tenn perature from January <Ao April?
 Two-Do you have freezing weather, usually in January and February?
 Three-What percentage. of the time could an invalid be out of doors dur
 Four-What is the condition of the roads r1a.1s,,nn snrrounding Montgomery for
 Five-Qo you have fogs; if so. how long?
 Six-Do you have spells of rainy wea.4er. and how long are they apt to
 seven-what are your hotel accom- modations?
 Eight-Could ample accommodations be secured in a private house, steam modern conveniences??
 For the information of the cores pendent and others who may be in terested, The Advertiser makes answer
 One-The average temperature from January to April, inclusive. Is about oo.S degrees.
 IWO-I neTo are peTlOQS or ITeeH- ing weather during the months of January and February. but they are not frequent and seldom extending through more than two days at a time.
 Three-Depends entirely upon the individual and the character of the in validism.
 Four-Six fine graveled roads lead from Montgomery in all directions to the county line, ranging in distance from six to fifteen miles
 Five-Fogs appear during periods from January to April on an average of one day each month, and are usual ly of short duration.
 Six--During the months of January to April, rain falls on an average ot forty days. or ten days in each month the greatest amount falling in March and the least in April, January and February. are the coldest months in the year. Rain in this climate usual ly precedes the periods of cold weather and despite the fact of the number oi rainy days during this period. tht mean relative humidity is not high
 Slx-There Is ample accommodations in first second and third class hotels
 Eight-At present, all first class pri- Yste boarding houses are filled The continual demand for this class o1 boarcing houses makes the accommo dations scarce. There are several mod ern apartment houses where accom- mod4tions of rooms can be secured but without day board. First clas! day board in abundance.

bama the latter will have no redress. So 1t is with the entire .egion affec- ted by this bill Eight states are par tiaiiy embraced in it and all their fn- terests arc involved. Tn short. the government by this measurs proposes to protect the States and the people just as it would protect them against foreign enemy. We do not see that the theory of States Rights is intrud- ed on.
 Just why Speaker Cannon should be using his personal and official power and influence to defeat the measure is best known to himself, but he should not be suffered to have his own way. The New England States and the South Atlantic States through their Senators and Representatives should work together to secure the passage of the bill. The present session of Congress will be short. and each day lost sees forest destruction going on. Let the South and the Northeast work in harmony this one time, at least for the accomplishment of a good object. r.

He had many friends among. the white pco- ple and in his declining days many who had pleasant memories of his days of usefulness left little tokens of good will with Judge Henderson. "on whose place he lived" for him. The old man was uneducated and had some secret way of recording the amounts charged and the cash taken in, and when he retired from active work. was extreme ly happy when told that his book bal anced correctly. All white patrons of tho ferry had great confidence in him and always felt safe for Uncle Prince to put their families across at any stage of the water. From a record kept by some of Squire sam Chapman s l family. he was lo9 years old on Christ mas Day, on which day he died. He was polite. courteous obliging and scrupulouslv honest. and we feel cer- tain that he has safely made the land ing on the other shore,
