The Advertiser publishes with great pleasure the following pleasing infor- nation.
 The following resolutions were adop- ted at Bay Minette by the Bald in County Farmers Educational and CO., operative Union:
 Resolved, That the Baldwin County Farmers Union endorses the plan for exhibition of farm produce of Bald win county at the State Fair at Mont gomery"
 (Signed.) Thomas Fireman.
 County Secretary.
 Those counties which made such a splendid showing last year at our State Fair will have to get a move on. Bald win county is going to astonish the people of the State by the exhibition of what it can do in the way of farm produce. All travellers on the line of the Mobile and Montgomery Railroad speak of the splendid crops they see in Baldwin county. A section of coun- try regarded a few years ago as of no benefit to the country except for the timber oh it has become one of the very best agricultural and fruit counties of the State.

THE NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS
 BILL.

The primary purpose of the negotia- ble instruments bill now before the Senate after having passed the House without opposition, is to secure uni- formity in the laws of the several States regulating commercial paper It js not a measure originating with the bankers. On the contrary. 1t orig mated with the lawyers of the coun- try, and the Bar Association of Ala banha is entitled to the honor of hav- ing first begun the agitation which culminated in this bill.S So long ago as 1886. our Bar Association passed a resolution declaring uniformity desir able and through Col. H. c. Tomp- kins took the matter to the American Bar Association.
 The Alabama Bar Association at its session in 1906. passed resolutions in struct'ns it's committee on legislative "nactment to do what it cou,d to se- cure . negotiable instrument bill by the Legislature at this session.
 The bankers have taken up this bill on their faith in the legal profession. active in it's behalf for the last twenty years or more through the State and national bar associations It is now in force in thirty-one States and by act of Congress in the District of Colum- bia and not the least of its advantages will therefore be to bring the federal and State courts into harmony on all questions of commercial law.

Abuse of Courts. Tuskepee News

ADuse OI COuTt9s
 Tuskegee News.
 We regret to note that there is a growing disposition on the part of manW speakers and writers to ridicule the courts of the land. It was this feeling which prompted the editor of The News to urge one of the speakers of the late Press Association to cut out from his address the severe ar raignment of a Federal judge. par ticularly in view of the fact that the discussion pointed very clearly to Judge Thomas G. Jones. who is one of the ,purest strongest and bravest of Southern men who occupy exalted positions. When the press of Ala bama lends itself to the denuneiation of the courts and the Judges bf the country. we are encouraging anarchy, and injecting the minds of the people with a spirit of disrespect and disre- gard for the powers that be. judge may rule contrary to what We may believe should have been ruled but when we recall that those charged with the serions responsibility of studying carefully all the law and the evidence so sto do absolute justice between man and man, then We must admit that they are better qualified to pass upon the questions at issue than are those of us who view simply one side of the controversy.

that you were fair in your decisions. My

such conservative man as Col. Love-

to violent treatment of the railroads.

CLEAR. CRISP AND CLEAN
BETHLEHEM

WHE HERALD bespeaks for Dana
Bartlett and the noble Bethlehem
u institutions Of which lie is the
head the more generous consideration
of the people of Los Angeles The
Christmas season is upon us. The air
is full of good cheer and good will. The
Hero who came to earth a little more
than nineteen hundred years ago amid
the joyous carols of an angelic host
brought with him a message of brother
~ love, OF good fellowship. of benevo-
lence and of benediction. The festival
which annually reminds us of his COM
ing is a season which should actuate in
the human heart the loftiest sentiments
of good cheer not for those near and
dear to us alone, but to those who,
without our kindly cooperation. would
see Christmas come and go without a
thing to mark it as day of special
significance.
1t is extremely doubtful il the people
of Los Angeles take them as they go,
half comprehend the titanic proportions
of the struggle which this noble man,
Dana Bartlett, is making to bring hap
piness and heart-cleansing to the
thousands of Unfortunate men, women
and children who, but for him and
few others who are devoting their lives
in some degree to the alleviation of
human woe, would find in Christmas
nothing but a cause for cursing the day
for it's apparent falseness. Mr.. Bart
lett has made sacrifices that surpass
human belief. Not only has he ex-
cluded from his life everything except
those things which will benefit the pro-
letariat of this city, but his utterly un-
selfish course during the past few
months has resulted in depriving him
in large measure of what we commonly
regard as the essentials to comfort. He
has fought and sacrificed sublimely.
His Pronunciation of those rights and
privileges which humanity selfishly
holds so dear finds few If any parallels
probably none in this city's history.
TO carry on the work in hand he
needs money. The cold, hard question
is: How much will you give into his
hands that he may be able to make
Christmas a reality instead of a myth
to those whom he is struggling to lift
and cheer?

he will appeal to the personal side of

CHINESE ANARCHY

~ HEOL was unleashed in the Los
Angeles Chinatown last night and
~ thin yellow blood once more
smeared the escutcheon of one of the
tongs. A government within govern
1nent is not in accord with American
institutions. Every tong war weighs
heavily in the balance in favor of the
exclusion of orientals. A people which
insists upon settling it's troubles by the
arbitrament of civil war and hopes to
exist under the Stars and Stripes is too
hideously barbarous to hope for any
thing better than temporary foothold
upon American soil. The recurrence Of
