WATER AND DISEASE.

Pure drinking water has come to be recognized as one of the essentials of human life and health. Bad food and foul air are condueive to disease. but we might almost say that impure water. is diseaser"itself. for 1t Is the parent. as 1t were, of some of our worst ills. Especially Is this true of typhoid, one of the most implaca- ble forms. of sickness to which the people of this country are subect, and which has its home among us.
 One of the most eminent physicians of New York calls typhoid "a filth disease" and asserts that "the only normal amount of it civilized conl- munity needs to have Is none at all." This is a sweeping assertion, but we do not know that 1t goes too far. The doctor means that if sanitary con- ditions are as they should be kept by a civilized community" and if the people have pure water and food there need be no typhoid. Doubtless be speaks from both observation and medical Knowledge, and from some other statements 1t is plain that he looks on germ-polluted drinking wa ter as one of the leading causes of typhoid.
 We of this city and in most other places in Alabama have much cause for self-congratulation over the puri- ty of our water supply. There may be places where water is more thor oughly clear of breeding germs or admixtures than the arte- sian water of this city is. but we imagine that they are few. and we can sympathize with those who are not thus favored. In most of the
 neashxes t is impossible to secure

 ht which Is brought to
 the rivers, akes and ~ e Streams surrounding them. If this water could be obtained from a wholly uninhabited and uncultivated region the danger from it would not {. be great, but that is no longer possi- ble except in very rare instances. The khcs, ponds and streams from which ' the water is obtained are surrounded On all sides by thickly inhabited country, and the towns and villages adjacent to them send all their sew age into the watersheds from which l. obtained the water which must be uaed by the people. The water shed &ch supplies Manhattan and the
 Ax is estimated to cover 360 square
 es and 1t is from the most thickly
 bulated section of the country. Is

 A lot of gamblers had an encounter in a Texas town the other day with the authorities in which an officer was killed and one or two others se- riously injured. Friday the Legisla- ture passed bill making gamoling q felony and the Governor couldn't get the bill quick enough so eager was he to sign 1t. There are a iiarge i number of signs of the times inol. of the business of wide openness.
 Now as a matter of course we ap- prove any efforts on the part of the Legislature of Texas or any State tc break up the gamblinfg evil but when a nasty and drastic law like that IS passed three questions naturally arise; Is such law just, will 'pular sentiment approve 1t? and cah 1t De enforced?

Hon. Harry c. Gunnels. Supertntend- ent of Education for the State, has re- turned from Mobile, where he attend ed the convention of the Alabama Ed ucational Association. Mir. Gunnels said that the convention was by far the most interesting and the most useful that the Alabama Association has eyer held, and that it's work would have i'm mediate and permanent results.
 MT. Gunnels had an especial interest In the question of county supervision. which he has ardently advocated since his becoming the chief of the Depart ment of Education. He paid high trib- ute to Prof. J. R. Aswell of Louisiana, who will become Chancellor of the Uni versity of Mississippi next fall, and who spoke at length of the plans of the county supervision.
 Alabama. Mir. Gunnels said yester- day, is the only State in the Union which does not require that county su- perintendents shall hold frst-grade or life certificates as teachers, and there Is now pending before the Legislature Of the State bill to make this re- quirement. This bill, of which Mir. Gunnels Is the author, was endorsed by the Association in Mobile, as were the Reynolds bill for compulsory edu- cation and the movement contemplat- ing. such an amendment to the Consti- tuition of the State as would permit school districts to raise by special taxation. funds for education.

Works Here, But Elsewhere-

Many cities have I visited" said a newcomer to Montgomery yesterday, .'and many directors of these cities have looked through. but this is the first town I was ever in where the city directory gave the wife's name after q to Southern chivalry, the spirit of which is not dead in the South, but, on the other hand, 1t certainly has ten- dency to place a man on record. !t may be good thing, but really can't see why the public should know the Christian name of every mans wife In town. It looks too much like delv- ing into private family affairs. and Tn, fact, strikes me as being somewhat in delicate.
 Tt is a sure thing that they have not adopted the custom of Montgomery in preparing the directory at Salt Lake City Those Mormons would never be able to get the names of all their wives in the space allowed, not even if the head of the family were able to re- member them all, which, in itself. is q matter of extreme doubt.
 Such directory would never be- turning one out every year. the pub fishers would have to issue one at least once month, for while Lottie Is likely to be the bride one month, Maude may be receiving the callers the next. The new wife would doubt- less want the old one stricken from the records No. this may be all right Tn Montgomery, where plural mar riages are not considered just the proper thing. and where divorcees are not the leaders of the. social whlrl sort of directory would not be scin- tillant success,"s

These secret organizations of ne- groes in the country are getting to be quite serious things for the farm er." said a Montgomery county plant ditions in my section growing worse instead of better. It is much harder now than formerly to secure good ne- groes and keep them on place. tions partly to the secret crganiza- tions of the negroes. There Is one of these societies. especially, which l understand has as its principal object the prevention of negro hiring out to a white man. The motto of the society seems to be that no negro shall work, for if he don't work for a white man. there are very few other jobs that he could get. Tt is really astonishing how the negroes have banded together in se- cret organizations during the past few years" pr. Clarence J.

The number of students is now 252 plus

will be obtained. At this rate 400 will
soon be considered small number.

A Good Citizen,

The death of James o. Harne removes
from this community good and useful
citizen, a kind and generous neighbor
and friend and a loving father and hus-
band. Mr.. Harne was, strictly speaking,
Il self made man and found the opportu-
mites and advantages possessed by him,
and became man whose advice and
cause was often sought by those in
whose midst he lived.
In public life Mr.. Harne was member
of the Board of County Commissioners,
he was an ideal public officer, never los
ing light of the fact that he was SER
want of the whole people, at the same
time seeing that his home people were
given their just dues. Mr.. Harne was
an ardent Mason living strictly within it's
tenets. Acacia Lodge, No. 1856 to which
he belonged performed the Masonic bur-
ial service at the grave.
