 Negro Buys q Chair.
 T would like to suggest that our active. Legislature might correct an evil that. is doing such to bring des. titution into the homes of the poor. Tt is the class f of money lenders in. Montgomery known as the money sharks. Few. in Montgomery know the extent or tn1S evil, or now IT DftnBs about sorrow and distress
 "A friend told me few days ago of an incident which illustrates the meth ods of such concerns, and the gulli- bflity of the average borrower In chair from an .nstallment house of the lowest order.
 "A negro went in the store to buy a chair. He asked the price of 1t. He was told it was 50 cents cash. He asked how much was 1t on time. He was told that he could have it for $1 on time, paying 50 cents down and 50 cents month for three months there after. The negro paid the 50 cents down, signed a reserve title and de- parted under the belief that he was being trusted by the proprietor.
 This is but one of the few cases where the ignorant are literally fieeced. Tie moment thIs negro fails to come up with one of his payments, the chances are the chair will be taken away from him and sold over again. |

The National House of Represe

The National House of Represen-

the salaries of senators and repre-
sentatives from $1,000 to $500 per
annum. This so per cent. increase
will take the place Of the railroad
passes that the rate-bill has deprived
them of. Before this becomes a law,
however, the act should beso amend
ed as to provide for the forfeiture of
salaries of senators and representa-
tives during their absence, unless the
absence is from providential causes.
If salaries of absentees were with
held, there would never be any lack

The American Farm.

1t is estimated that the crops in the
United States this year will supply the
S7O,O0O,0O0 worth each month of the year
for export. Cotton will lead off, with
about $4OO,O00,000 for the year to its
credit. 1t is the surplus product of the
farms of the United States that brings to
this country every year more than one
half of the worlds supply of gold. A
part of this we send back in payment for
manufactured articles bought in other
parts of the world, for tea, coffee and
sugar, and another part is taken across
the seas by American tourists and foolish
American girls, who persist in marrying
the beggarly foreigners, but enough is
left here annually to make US the most
prosperous people in the world. The
American farm is the source of American
wealth, and in not our Alaska gold, and
our Colorado silver mines, nor our manu-.
featuring industries, great as they are.
