May G,d in his great mercy,
prepare us all to wind up LIES

We infer from this subject.
lst. That the number of young

ing, argues neglect somewhere.
Should it be upon the part of
parents. WHAT an awful account
irreligious parents win have to
meet at the bar of God The souls
Of their children ruined through
their neglect! Are christians at
fault? Is the church Of God
neglecting the moral education
of the young within her reach?
o that God would awake the
Church TO an effort, such as the
worth of perishing souls de-
mand,.
End. If the path of the young
is morally dcfllcd, how much
more impure is the path Of that
man, ma,ured in years. aud ma,
tured in habits of impie,y. To
what purpose have such been
living: Treasuring up wrath a.
gainst tie day OF wrath. What
an awful treasure. and what a
fearful amount upon deposit To
such there is no green spot in
the history of the past upon
which the mind can dwell With
pleasure no present permanent

as the germs of a disease are con- cerned. and the entire country IS threatened with an epidemic that far outruns in fatalities any other disease, unless California and the general gov ernment take hold of the cases on hand in earnest. Whites are now con- tracing the disease in California, and it is very fatal among them.
 The bubonic plague is one of five recognized varieties of pestis major or ordinary plague. as known to history and science. At the beginning of the attack the patient has ehills and fever. weakness, inertia, dizziness, headache and nausea. Later he walks and talks tremblingly, his temperature ises to dangerous figures, his pulse is full ala the characteristic buboes or swellngs appear, the glands in the neck, gtoins or armpits being enlarged. When the fever, after running several days, sub sides, the patient may die, in his eX- hausted state, from any one of seyeral insidious complaints; or he may enter upon tedious conYalescence.
 The time to check the plague is TOW, e California, where secrecy is practiced. and it is difficult to ascertain the full truth. Action is needed, and the en- tire country should demand it. Cen gress should act firmly and generously.

Value Of Good Roads

The cordial and even enthusiastic
 manner in which the good roads ad- dresses of Senator Bankhead, Con- 1 gressman Underwood and State Sena-
 tor 0Yerton were received at the State Fair grounds on Tuesday is further evidence that the rank and file desire better roads. The speakers named showed that the state can create no debt; that the Overton amendment would authorize the use of surplus funds only on the raods; that the churches, schools, women, children
 and immigration all demand that the Alabama roads shall be brought up to the standard of advanced countries. State after state is building modern, scientific roads, and unless Alabama falls in line she will become a laggard in development and prosperity. Rail- ways and waterways cannot be carried to every farm, whereas highways can be, and the latter are needed to sup plement the ,former. As there are 2,151,570 miles of public roads in the United States the task is not a light one. About per cent of the road mileage is modern, and the great crops are therefore still hauled to market over poor roads. Investigations show
 that the average cost of hauling at
 present per ton per mile is about p
 cents. On stone roads, dry ana III
 good order, it is about cents; on stone roads in ordinary condition, F
 cents on earth roads, containing ruts
 and mud, 39 cents; on sandy roads
 when wet, 33 cents; on sandy roads
 when dry, GA cents. If the cost of hauling were reduced to 12 cents per
 ton per mile the average annual say- Ing would De Szoo,ooV,oUU, anu Inde
 sum would soon supply the country
 with excellent roads, to say nothing of
 the increase in the value of lands and general prosperity.
 l It is difficult in short, to see how
 any intelligent citizen can oppose the
 adoption of the Overton amendment,
 which permits legislature to apply
 the net earnings of the conyicts to the
 making of modern roads. It should be
 adopted for the general good of the l state.

Trade and Music,

Trade in Bessemer is improving gradually and the outlook for holiday business is bright" said B. L. Michael son, the well known Bessemer mer- chant and singer. We are counting on forming our own county and with Bes- seper as the county capital we will build up a very large and important trade"
 MT. MichaeIson formerly lived in Bir- mingham and as he was one of the best tenors here he is in great de- mand in concerts and festival choruses. He was one of MT. Guckenberger's standbys in the May festivals and is still one of the regulars of the Turn verein. MT. Michaelson says the sing ing section of the Turnverein under leadership of Glen o. Friermood, the new director, is in first rate form. This chorus consisting of A voices will be heard at the German day celebra- ton, October 2I.

Farmers To Hold Mass Meeting

President Harvie Jordan of the Southern Cotton association is about to call a general conference or conven- ton of cotton growers, bankers, me. chants and ginners Some central polnt in the cotton belt will be named, and all organizations and all individuals interested in securing better prices for cotton will be invited to attend.
 Prices have been pushed down ID Liverpool and New York until the farmer barely gets from his bales the cost of production, leaving no net money in his hands. And yet outside of Texas it is conceded that the crop is not large.
 A general conference may not be able to raise prices..but at any rate no harm can come from a general dis cussion of the situation, and possibly in multitude of counsellors some nn- expected wisdom may be developed At present the middlemen and tie spinners are making prices to suit themselves.

Sees Taft a Victor.

From the Chicago Record-Herald
 ashington.-President Roosevelt be- lieves that Taft and Sherman will have about 9O6 electoral votes. President Roosevelt has been a good judge of polit- ioal events. He predicted just after the last delegates to the Chicago were elected that Taft would have about TOO delegates. He had 7o2.
 The table of Taft states, according to the Presidents idea, is about as follows:
 California 10, Connecticut [ Delaware 3. Illinois 27, Iowa 13 Idaho 8, Indiana 15, Kansas 10 Maine 6, Massachusetts IS, Michigan IA, Minnesota Il, Nebraska s, New York 39, New Hampshire 4, New Jer- sey 12, North Dakota 4, Ohio 23, Oregon 1, Pennsylvania 34, South Dakota 4, Rhode Island f. Utah 8, Vermont 4, Washington 5, West Virginia 7, Wisconsin 1S, Wyom- ing 3-total 306.
 The President also regards Colorado and Maryland as affording a good chance to the republicans, but these states are not included in .he claim he is making to his friends.
 President Roosevelt realizes that tre- mendous fight is being made on Governor Hughes in New York state, but at the same time he believes it will fail, just as the campaign which was made against him failed in 1898. At that time the brew CTS, liquor dealers and others had an enormous fund which they used in an en- deavor to elect the democratic candidate for governor
 The President is in heartiest sympathy with Governor Hughes. There is no legiti- mate effort in behalf of the governor that he will not take. The governors stump ing tour of western states for the repub- lcan national ticket, at the sacrifice of his own campaign in New York; has ap- pealed to the President as nothing else could have done. He is personally com municating with every member of the state machine. He has written them all |, personal letters urging them to support Hughes Loyalty and thus far only one im- portant county leader has failed to re- spond to his note.
