Whnt the south Has at stake.

Huntsville Mercury.
 The Mercury has not been able to see that the policy of anti-railroad leg lslation in Alabama and several other Southern States was for the best ln- terest of the South at this time. Our people seem to have failed to realize that capital will not go into country for investment in railroads and other industrial enterprises where the peo- pie who rule and control the making of laws show a spirit that Is regarded, at least, as antagonistic to the just protection of this capital so the prop
 erty 1t Is invested in can be managed
 and developed on safe and wise basis
 of business principles. The South has
 only In recent years begun to develop
 her vast resources on broad and com prehensiVe basis. Her people have not
 ara will not in many years. If ever,
 have the surplus money to carry on
 to its fullest this great industrial de-
 velopment The South needs today
 twice the railroad mileage she now
 has Her present railroad systems need many millions Of dollars to improve
 and bring up to conditions equal to
 those in the North, the railroad prop critics of the South Would you invest
 millions of dollars in railroad building
 in Alabama at this time? That is the way to look at it. We invite sober
 reflection upon the following View Chronicle The people of the South
 may be deluded into thinking that as, in face of all this, they have been enjoying some degree of growth and progress that this is evidence that the policy towards the industrial inter- ests which they have been pursuing and which has served to repel capital instead of attracting 1t, has done them no injury. But this Is a sad and se- l rious mistake. We cannot understand why the Southern people should give l the slightest degree tof encouragement | to the politicians who are committing g l them in favor of a policy so detri- | mental to the Souths best interests | Suppose during the last two or three | years the Southern legislator had de- | voted his time and attention 10 making | the fair Southland an attractive field 1 for railroad investments instead of en- acting rate-reduction laws and tax | reduction laws and taxing ingenuity | in devising other contrivances for mar rassing and embarrassing the railroads | in their financial and physcal opera | tions. How different today would be | the situation of these roads, Every | one of the large systems Is in need of | additional capital for Its development | and Improvement. But this capital | during the last two years has not been | forthcoming. The result has been that further growth has been stunted and
 that the railroad systems have not
 been able to move the traffic offering
 with due economy and dispatch"
 Confirmation of all this has revived
 additional emphasis in the recent sus | pension of large railroad construction contracts. The next few years will tel 1t all

the piossers of the new world, to whom corn in some of it's forms was the sta- pie? whether in the cold North, the sunny South or the wild West, they ate corn and no civilization of modern times has known finer physical speci- mems than they were.
 And to this day. as all southerners know, corn is and has ever been the staple cereal food of the people In the days of slavery it was practically all the bread the negroes ate-and they were strong and healthy race. The white people ate corn bread every day. and most of them keep up the habit. and so far as we are informed no doctor ever diagnosed case of poisoning that he could attribute to eating corn bread, or corn in any other form.
 And in the face of all this here comes physician to tell us that corn food Is slow poison. It must be intensely slow. since it has required centuries to find it out--and only one man has found it out, so far as we are in- formed. And, to conclude the whole matter, we quote from a contemporary that 'The Dietetic and Hygienic Ga- zette, New York publication, lauds corn food products, disputes the notion that they are indigestible and express es the belief that they should be more generally used. It says very truly that often corn meal is insufficiently cooked, a thing that is enough to &C., count for any prejudice that may exist against it. As a matter of fact no food, not even wheat, Is capable of being served in as many palatable ways as the many corn products-meal, corn starch, corn fresh from the cob. or next best thing, fresh from the can. breakfast foods from corn-all af- fording in the hands of the skiliful cook an infinite variety of wholesome dishes"

south md the Roads.

WaSHlnBEOn FOSts
 The Georgia Central Railroad has prepared to expend $2.000. 900 extending its lines for the convenience and ad- vantages of certain communities down there now without facilities of railroad transportation, but it appears that the men who own and operate the Central have come to suspect that the chief use Georgia has for a railroad is to give 1t to Hoke Smith and Tom watson to play with and so the Central has recon sldered and abandoned the project of extending its line, on the assupmtion perhaps, that Messrs. Smith and Wat son already have in their playhouse as much of the Georgia Central as the owners of that property can afford to furnish them.
 Some time ago the Louiville and Nashville Railroad started into North Carolina, and had advanced thirteen miles. It semes that there are some gentlemen in that State who have tastes similar to MT. Smlths ana MT. Watsons and to pacify them the Leg" IsIature gave them the roads of the Old North State. whereupon the Louis vile and Nashville not only refused to advance farther but incontinently fled the State, abandoning the thirteen miles it had constructed and was operating. The grass now has undisturbed posses sion of the track.
 Touching this railroad mess down south The Post makes no pretension te a mastery of the subject All we know Is that the South is in sore need of additional lines. and the wide eXten- zion of present lines. Indeed. If the railroad mileage of the State. were dou- bIed, it would not have half the rail road facilities and advantages Indiana noT nossesses. It Is a work of ordIn- nrv prudence to catch your hare before YOU cook 1t. and if it had less smack of unpatriotic heresy. we would inFin- uate that 1t would be advis lble to get your railroad before you regulate 1t.

Says The Montgomery Advertiser The sultan of Morocco bears the name of Abdul Aziz, and a contempor- ary thinks that when France Is done with him he will be Abdul Azwas. That's almost bad enough for The Nor folk Landmark" Now, really. we feel constrained to rise to the defense of our Norfolk contemporary. It gets off some awful things, but they are gen orally original, and would hardly work over the play on Abdul Azwaz, which was run to frazzle by the paragraphers few years ago.-Columbia State.
 Well. as The state is aware, that Norfolk brother has such a confirmed "penshoDg" for digging into the re- mote past and bringing up dead and buried questions and suggestions that we had reason for thinking it might have been guilty of the Azwas propo- sition.s In fact, 1t has since boasted that "it would have been proud of it."
