year" Let us see about that. By com parison of statistics we find, for instance, that if Alabama were as populated as Massachusetts it would contain SO,OOOOOo of inhabitants. It has now after S9 years of statehood about 100000 of population of which nearly 100000 are negroes. At that rate leaving out the negroes, who do not increase. and not counting the tor- eigners which helped to make that mt Hon in S9 years, Alabama would be, through natural increase, as thickly pop ulated as Massachusetts in about 15CO years This comparison. of course, IS drawn from the fact that Massachusetts, with a seventh of the area of Alabama, has a population of nearly 100000.
 It is further claimed that during the last five years only 10 per cent of the im- migrants were of the desirable class Irish, Germans and Scandinavians. Very well, let us try then to get half or third of that 10 per cent to come south, to set tie on our idle lands and raise the prod ucts for which the south sends 50 per

out of politics had he tried, and he did not try He was five times returned to the legislature, of which body he served as speaker.
 Overman advocated the cause of tenn perance in the North Carolina campaign of 1881; it was a not very popular thing to do in those days. It is different now; but Overman has never boasted of his early advocacy of local option. The whisky men marked him for slaughter, but he accepted their challenge and over whelmingly beat them at the election of 1882. In 1884 he was chosen president of the North Carolina railroad, and in 1900 he was elector for the state at large on the democratic presidential ticket.
 Predatory politics broke loose in bleed- ing Kansas when Ben Harrison was President, and took the phase of a popu- list-democratic alliance. It extended to the south, where 1t was a populist-re- publican combine. Everywhere it was child of envy and ignorance, and ever had three or four eyes on the main chance-yclept spoil of office. The leader of this layout in North Carolina was man named Butler. He was a great friend of the farmer and president of the alliance North Carolina had long con- fided in Vance and Ransom, but this young Butler preached a new evangel and got to be the most powerful citizen of the entire south Vance died in 1894, or even he probably would have fallen victim to the craze. Young Butler got Ransom's seat in the Senate in 1885, In the Senate he was exceedingly garrulous.

 The Dowager Empress of Russia has faced death again and again. On one oc- casion she discovered on her husband s dressing table curious and unfamiliar jewel case, and on taking 1t up she was surprised to find its weight.
 Hurrying with it to her own room, she plunged it into a basin of water and summoned the head of the police, who, on examination. found it to be a most deadly bomb.
 On another occasion, on entering her husbands study, she fancied she heard a slight rattle behind the window curtain. and with rare presence of mind she went to him, and putting her hands on hls shoulder, said, Before you. finish these letters, come and say goodnight to the children, and then come straight back 10 your writing"

 The way they make great lawyers in North Carolina is to set them to reading the text books by the light of pine knot fires.
 Lee S. Overman, United States senator from North Carolina in the present Con- gress, is another lawyer from the moun- tains of North Carolina. The family, Eng fish nonconformists, originally, settled on the coast at Durant's Neck, in Perqui- mans county, where the acres are broad and fertile. Some of them were Quakers, but they volunteered to swell the ranks of that Rhode Island Quaker. Nathaniel Greene, in his military operations against Lord Cornwallis. Leaving old England for faith and freedom the Overmans did much to help build up free common wealth in the Western Hemisphere, and men of that family have been prominent in North Carolina since long before the revolution of 'I8
