Only Two Weeks Left.

Birmingham News.
 The Montgomery Advertiser in a re- cent editorial urges the citizens all over the State to qualify themselves to vote in the elections this year by pay ing their poll taxes on or before Feb ruary 1. and says there are over 100000 white men in Alabama who are allow Ing indifference or the small sum of sl,50 to stand between them and the high honor of being voter in our pri- maries and State elections.
 The Advertiser figures that at the present rate poll taxes are being paid the bulk of the voting will be by those who are exempt from this tax, and es- inmates that not over one-third of tn e citizens subject to poll tax as a requi- though less than three weeks remain in which to secure them.
 This is anything but encouraging in a free and enlightened country where it should be regarded as a valued priv ilege to have a voice in the administra- tion of the public affairs. It Is hard to realize that men of influence in this State. men who are factors in contrib utinS to the development of it's re- sources and the progress and prosper ity of its people. will deliberately neg leet their duty in this respect by de- priving themselves of voice in the public affairs through indifference or neglect. No citizen who has at heart the welfare of the State and the im- provement of its political conditions should disfranchise himself.
 The poll tax goes to the support of the public sch ools which Is an addI- tional argument why 1t should be paid by all who are interested in the pro- motion of education as a means of a higher citizenship and broader civili- Zation.
 Pay your poll tax on or before Feb ruary l and qualify yourself to vote in the several important elections to be held this year.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 1s, 1908.


 whfle the Georgians are continually trying to divide their State into more and smaller counties. some of which now are hardly larger than an ordinary precinct, there is a directly opposite movement in Virginia. We notice that a member of the Legislature of that State has introduced bill to consoll- date Albemarle and Green Counties, and The Richmond Journal hopes 1t wfII pass and that it win be followed by others of the same kind. We have never been able to understand why Georgia should favor such small coun- ties as many of them now are. There ought not only to be a limit to the size of counties. but that limit ought to be a reasonable one. It would mean an immense saving to the taxpayers if the very small counties could be satis- factorily consolidated. for each of them. whether large or small. must have its own county government with all the necessary officials to be paid by the people. Fewer counties and larger ones would be beneficial in more ways than one.

TEE RIGHT SPIRIT.

Under the heading, "why Not Keep Our Money at Homer The Muskogee Times-D Democrat discusses the duty of Oklahoma people generally. and of its own town particularly. to do their own manufacturing. It ends with this sen tence: Let us not send away another dcliar except for the purchase of the necessary outnt for a plant to work our own raw material"
 That is good advice. which sho.:a bs needed and followed by the people of the new State. Although the youngest member of our Union. Oklahoma Is one ot the richest of all the famhy m Ia tural resources. It is rich in oils. min erals and in timber. and remarkably rich In its agricultural possibilities. With such advantages. and with . population that Is showing . dispcsi- ton and determination to be among the most progressive of the American people. it will be strange if they do not take advantage of the wealth and opportunities nature has laid open for their use. They can manufacture prac- ticaliy everything needed. and out of their own home products. The work cannot be gotten under way in day or a year. but 1t can be begun and it will grow with what 1t feeds on. and each new mill or factory will be an inducement to start another.
 But the advice of our contemporary applies with equal force to most of the Southern States. The south has been very slow to arouse itself to concep- ton of the vast benefits to be derived from home manufactures. We have been an agricultural people from the very beginning, and have been slow to shake on the old ways and adjust our selves to the new. The habit Of devot- ing ali our time. capital and energy to the cultivation of the soil and sending off for everything we need that is man. ufactured. much of it made from our own raw material. has been hard to shake of. and even yet we are but par tiaily freed from 1t.
 Diversifcation of labor is one of the surest roads to prosperity and iniu- ence. A country or a State which is devoted entirely to any one industry must inevitably fall behind in the great march of events. There are some things that can be bought cheaper than we can make them. but there Is no defence for sending our own raw ma- terials to some other part of the world to be manufactured and returned to us at . greatly increased cost to us. The counsel of The Times-D Democrat is good and of general application. ''why not keep our money at home?'

This h My 5sth Birthda,
Sir Ian HamiIton.

General Sir Ian Hamilton. one of the ablest officers in the British military service, was born in Corfu, January 15, 1853. Few- living soldiers have seen more varied service than Sir Ian, and many of his escapes from what seemed certain death have been almost mirac- ulous. Entering the army in 1879 he received his first real experience of warfare in the Afghan campaign of 1878. Three years later he was en- gagged against the Boers in South Af- rica, and was severely wounded. He was also in the Nile expedition of 1884, years later. Apart from his prowess as a soldier Sir Ian is known as a writer of more than ordinary merit, clever sketcher and a good public speaker. Recently, on the retirement of Sir George Luck, Sir Ian was promoted to be a full general.

TWO Goon opIECTs.

The Columbusites. over on the turbid Chattahooche. have two important mat ters before them at present, which they are discussing with much interest. One is a proposition to annex the adjacent suburbs and thus add materially to the lcity's area. Whether. with it's present size. the city is too much crowded and cramped for room, or whether the citi- zens have fallen in with the general sentiment in favor of more territory. we cannot say, but the cry of Greater columbus' rings out in good style. It is a good project. if it can be done sat- isfactorily to all concerned. Plenty of room is e good thing to have.
 Another object to which the city pa- pers are devoting considerable time is a proposition to erect on the Georgia side of the river, at the eastern end of the old Fourteenth Street bridge, a monument to mark the spot where 1t is claimed that the last fighting east of the Mississippi occurred during the war between the States. The monu- ment is sto consist of a large granite boulder from the banks of the river with a suitable inscription to show that here was the end of it, so far as the eastern portion of the Confederacy was concerned.
 The fact that this was the last fight ing in this part of the Confederacy gives it most of it's importance, though there was some hot work on the 18th day of April. 1885, if we are not mis. taken as to the date. A strong force of Wilson's column of Federal troops encountered a small force of Confeder- ates from various commands, and some four or i've thousand Georgia militia who were waiting to defend the bridges. The fighting was severe. but the FederaIs ware successful in cross ing the river and capturing the city, and that ended the fighting. The plac- ing of a native granite boulder to mark the spot Is good conception and should be carried out. The spot is a historic one. for more reasons than one, and we see no reason why the people of the city should not mark 1t so that there will be no forgetting it in the years to come. They can do that and have a Greater Columbus also.

Something over half a million for eigners of the immigrant class returned to their European homes during the past year. It is estimated that they carried off si1O.OOO,OOO when they started. besides which they spent about 15.OOO.OOO for railway and steamboat transportation and other travelling ex- penses in getting to their homes.

 Washington Special to New York Herald
 Democratic members of Congress bring the news to Washington that large sums of money are being expended and large the country in an effort to bring about the spontaneous" nomination of William Jen- nings Bryan at Denver on July [.
 Mir. Bryan has asserted that if drafted" he would not decline. but he has made 1t appear that the drafting" he desires must come from the party and not from of Mir. Bryan's party that few democrats really believe MT. Bryan can make win- ming campaign in the next presidential canvass. but that since his friends can pre-. vent the selection of anyone not favored by the Nebraska editor, they might as well take Mr. Bryan as anyone else.
 There Is. however, strong sentiment among many of the rank and file Of the Democracy for Bryan, and this sentiment IS being kept alive in the hslsf , that 1t ,nl wi,l thirds of the delegates for the peerless leader" MT. Bryan could. 1t is said, have been keeping this alive by his own actiyi- ties. He is the only active and outspoken candidate for the Presidency. He is doing everything in his power by personal appeal with him. to forward his own chances. In other words. MT. Bryan. according to Demo crats in Congress. is the sole manager or an M affirmative and aggressive campaign 10 obtain tho nomination for himself. But the statement that Mr. Bryan IS to be the beneficiary of an expenditure oi money to cocrcc State conventions and m timidate primaries Is received here wltn sorrow. as not consistent with the proies, sons made by the candidate that he would leave it to the party Instead of lsayins 1 1t to the party he has determined. south ern Democrats say, to force his own noni' nation.f

Congressman Sims of Tennessee, a

Congressman Sims of Tennessee, as we are informed, is proposing to in- troduce bill to regulate Washington street-cars. He wants a law to au- thorize the conductors to collect an eight-cent fare from every man who fails to give up his seat in crowded car when a woman enters. The theory of compelling courtesy to women is all right. and what might be expected from a Southerner, but carrying out his plan would bring about some amusing epi- aodes. If. for example, car is crowd ed with men and a woman enters, must all the men rise and offer her a seat, under penalty of an extra fare? If not, how will they settle who shall rise? MT Sims Is liable to cause some funny com plications if his bill should pass.

 We'll. there are usually two sides to Ia question and two ways to look at most of them. It must be admitted that the money that all these returning foreigners take back with them to their old homes is so much drained from the surplus or deposits of our own country. The amount that one of them carries is small, but the total foots up quite Q nice pile. What they pay for transportation and subsistence on the way is so much turned into the channels of trade, but the rest is a dead loss. stili. as The Commercial almits, 1t was better for them to have taken the money out of the country than to have remained here and prob ably added largely to the army of un- employed. But if that return migration is to be an annual business. the beneft will not be at all in proportion to the loss of money to the United States.
