The shortage Of cars in which to
ship the bumper crops is distressing,
and it naturally leads one to ask why
is {t? Something is radically wrong
somewhere. The great fruit shipping
sections where the products are per-
ishable seldom experience any trouble
on account of car shortage. The rail-
road companies know that II this
class Of produce is not moved at once
it perishes and they lose the trans
portation charges, while with corn,
cotton, lumber, heading, wheat, flour
and other articles the demand for i'm
mediate shipment is not pressing.
They may inconvenience the shipper
somewhat, but they win eventually |
get the freight on it. Thus the car
shortage problem is up to- that aug
ust body, the Interstate Commerce

The South must furnish the

5erVed notice on Democrats that
they must not nominate man who
win veto temperance legislation,
meaning, as interpreted between
the lines, that they will support a
Republican If Patterson is nomi-
mated. This is not to be taken as
an admission that Patterson ever
vetoed temperance legislation. It,
however, probably refers to the
fact that he vetoed the La Toilette
bill, repeating the charter and ex-
tending the Adams law to La Fol
lette in the face Of local majority
who voted against the Adams law
as applied to that town. About
the same time Governor Patterson
approved the Jackson bill, very
large majority having voted in
favor of the Adams law. This
shows that Governor Patterson
stood squarely for temperance leg
islation and strictly in accord with
the platform upon which he was
nominated.
Folk and Landrith have always
been half-hearted Democrats. and
while this paper does not propose
to take sides between Patterson
and Carmack for the Democratic
nomination, it does propose to de-
fend party lines against such en-
croachment. Carmack is a Demo
crat and we have no doubt that he
would have acted exactly as Pat
terson did under the same circum-
stances, No Democrat could con-
sistently do otherwise, and no
honest and consistent Republican
would do SO.
These Folks and Landriths have
no principles which soar above a.
single narrow prejudiced idea, and
they seem to think they are war
ranted in going to any length,
brushing every other consideration
aside, to carry them out. They |
would enforce the old Blue Laws
and revive inquisition if they had
the power.
Any man who has ever claimed |
to be a Democrat and says to his
people that you shall have no voice
in your local affairs is not worthy
of the name. Local self govern
ment is the foundation structure
of Democracy.
Again we would say that this is
no fight for Patterson, but for
Democracy. 1t is to inform Demo
Gratis against this sort of treachery.
AS far as Patterson is concerned,
he has, with one exception, fulfilled
every promise made in his cam
paign. That one exception is the
greatest of all his pledges-to take
the appointment of election com
out of the hands of the
Governor and thereby curtail the
power Of the administration ma
chine.
This machine has been strength
ened by the addition Of three in
huentidl politicians, and it is now
stronger than any political ma
chine ever in the State.
But with all that, we do not pro-
pose to stand by and see the party
suffer by the Vaccinations of the
yrockrofts, McDowells, Folks and
Landriths.
= 4
These men are wovles in lambs
slothing, and they would, if they
,ould, stab in the back the party I
which gave them all the legislation I
ind political influence they ever
lad. Take away the Folks, from
he Governor of Missouri down, i
he Cockrofts, McDowells, not 8
much less the Rev. Ira Landrith.
md the Democratic party will
breathe easier. Let them 60 to

TACKLED WRONG MAN WITH HIS SKIN GAME
WAS COLLECTING MONEY TO BURY LEWlsBURG MAN, WHO TURNED OUT TO BE ALIVE AND WELL.

slick trickster from Lewisburg, who was at one minute soliciting money for destitute family in his own town, two hours later was on his way to Flat Top mines to serve out a sentence of one year
 The fellow went to North Birmingham yesterday with a paper which stated that a committee of three were out trying to raise money to pay for the burial of a certain man in Lewisburg. It required $39, but should more than this be col lected it would be turned over to the family which had been left destitute of food and clothing.
 He was having great success Dozens of liberal hearted men had subscribed sums as high as s5 and the list was run ming into tall figures when he walked into a real estate office.
 It happened that the first man tackled was the deputy constable from the Lew isburg precinct who knew positively that the man mentioned in the petition was alive and well. He immediately put the trickster under arrest and within an hour Justice Dement, had tried and convicted him.

Want Races senarated.

The matter of whites and blacks riding in the same street cars without parti- tions was discussed in the city council to- night and referred to the street railway committee for investigation.
 It was urged that this Is an opportune time to take this matter up and settle it before any trouble of a serious nature arises. The cars without partitions re- gently put on the South Ensley line have been the subject of much unfavorable comment by the travelling public, and it is claimed such conditions are bound to cause friction between the races sooner or later.
 The recent trouble in Montgomery over such conditions Is rather fresh in the minds of the people just now, and it is urged that it would be wise to forestal anything of this kind by proper action before hand. It Is generally hoped that the city council will be successful in bringing about the desired result.
