The frankness and honesty of the pa
pers Of Medicine Lodge in dealing with
the recent small pox scare IN that town
was most commendable. They told Of
the cases. how they came there and
what was done with them. The city
and county authorizes acted promptly and
effectively and as result the disease has
been practically eliminated in two weeks.
Secrecy adds to the number of cases and
to the panic, as the untrue rumors sent
over phones and from mouth to mouth
are not contradicted by any effective au-
thority. The people Of town and the
community trading with it have right to
know all about such things.-Anthory

HELP THE PARTY.

The Advertiser makes last appeal for contributions to aid in carrying on the campaign for election of the National Democratic ticket. The total amount contributed to the cause up to the 18th inst has been published. and ft was not as much as the necessities of the National Committee called for. Alabama has done as we'll in propor- tion, as any of the other States. but none have done as much as they should have done. MT. Ridder. the Treasurer of the Committee. earnestly appeals for further contributions. and we hope our party friends in Alabama VII. in the next few days. double the amount already sent in through The Advertiser. If you are going to contribute. do so at once. The Advertiser will receive the money and forward 1t to the Na- tional Committee.
 The campaign fund received by The Advertiser to date is as follows:
 Previously acknowledged ....647 50 Money should be sent to Campaign Fund, care The Advertiser" All con ] tributions will be acknowledged in the paper daily.

Some idiot handed Mir. Chanler, can- didate for Governor of New York, a string of questions at one of his meet ings few nights ago. Some of them were foolish, some impertinent and one or two actually insulting, and he re- fused to answer any of them. We agree with a contemporary that his refusal was perfectly right and proper. There is an old saying to the effect that fools can ask questions that wise men can not answer, and 1t seems to have been so in this case.

SETTLE THE QUESTION NOW.


 The Advertiser willingly publishes in another column the communication of Chairman J. s. Moore. of Walker County Committee which is opposing the endorsement at the polls of the proposed amendment to the Constitu- tion allowing the creation of new counties under certain restrictions.
 Walker County, from which the com munication. comes, would lose 8 slice of its large territory, if a new county was created with Bessemer as its coun- ty seat.
 The communications will hardly help
 the opposition, as it shows. with all the thought and care put into compo- sition, how hard pressed the opponents
 of the amendment are to find some- thing that will halt tbe strong senti- ment for the adoption of the proposed amendment. Anonymous interviews. adroit appeals to a dying prejudice against railroads a call to protect the old against the advance Of progress, are not arguments that will arouse en- thusiasm among the Alabama voters. The committee will have to take an- other shot. It will fail to convince any reasonable man that the amendment should be beaten at the polls.
 To the great mass of voters. those who are not holders of fee paying off, fees in counties which may lose some territory. or who are not prospective candidates for office in the territory which may be made into a new county the germ in the issue is this-wn Alabama be better off by holding wear after year it's big county lines sacred and untouched. or will the State be bettered by the creation of two or three new counties? Houston County is the best example to illustrate the correct answer to that question. Hous- ton is the only new county established In the State in the present generation. Henry, and Geneva Counties contrib ubCu tho AoASSA PctfAoh oA llS tSi 70 ritory which went into the making of Houston County. Tn those counties, ex- cept in the affected territory. the pro- posed new county was bitterly fought. The arguments MT. Moore and his committee use were new then. The sentiment that cried aloud against the disturbance Of the old by progress was not so hackneyed then.
 Houston County was established. No man now doubts the wisdom of It's es- tabllshment. It is one of the most prosperous counties of the State. It Is moving Into the front rank of Ala bama counties. In proportion 1t is growing as rapidly as Jefferson Coun- ty. Dothan, its county seat, is a model of municipal growth. The prosperous farmers of Houston have a convenient court house and their business Is transacted without annoying and ex- journeys. Houston County is an exorciser of the evil visions that | the Walker County Committee would ,onjure up.
 Are the present county lines of Ala oama to remain as they are forever2 What has invested them with that ss, |
