Came Near To Death.

What came near to being a
fatal accident occurred at the
Sprute farm southwest of town
Monday evening. Charles Olson,
who was working with the ma
chine, sat down by the side of a
stack just at dusk and the forker,
not seeing him, threw the der
rick fork off onto him. One of
the teeth of the fork sturck him
along the side of the neck and
face and cut quite a cash in the
flesh. The injured man was
later brought to town and had
his wound dressed and will soon
be all right again. His escape
from instant death was a very
close one, for if the heavy fork
had struck him on the back of
the neck or head the tooth would
have gone clear through and
death would have been certain.

such e vital question, why did those who made up the Conference Journal dismiss them in this brief and sum mary way, as recited by Mr. Craw- ford himself in his first letter:
 A resolution offered by J. s. Fraser and E. L. Crawford. expressing ad- miration for the character of Sena timely death, and declaring the sym pathy of the conference for his widow and son, was unanimously adopted by rising vote.
 Mir. Crawford was one of the secrs- taries of that body and if future ages wish to read those resolutions they will have to seek another medium than that which Mir. Crawford had a part in making. Why were they "suppressed'' to far greater extent in the records of the Conference than they were in The Advertisers col umns7
 We ask the indulgence of the read CTS of The Advertiser for dsvoting so much space to a matter of no special consequence to them and of no gem eral interest. In extenuation we point to the fact that The Advertiser has throughout exercised the inherent right of self defense when it's good name was assaulted.

of PolitIcaI Interest.

Birmingham Age- Herald.
 "Cbserver," who analysed the poli- tics in the amendment meeting held in Birmingham last week and contributed an article to The Montgomery Adver- tiser. evidently knows Alabama well. The amendment prohibitionists who spoke on that occasion were throwing dust into the eyes of their hearers when they declared their cause was not political; but Observer states facts which show that the amendment scheme reeks with politics.
 The Age-Herald of yesterday repro duced Observers" article in full but if you failed to read 1t, look up copy a most Instructive article and Is well worth perusal.
 The leading champions of constitu- tional prohibition never tire of telling the public that the sentiment in favor of the amendment submission measure was overwhelming. As evidence of such sentiment the amendment man ager and his lieutenants point to the letters and telegrams received by members of the Legislature from their constituents urging the passage of the bill. But the pressure" from the peo- ole was not spontaneous but, on the contrary. it was professionally worked up and forced. All politicians of a certain class are given to blufflng, but when 1t comes to this method of polit> teal warfare, the prohibition politician

THE PUBLIC UNDERSTANDS.


 If any man has cause to pray to be delivered from his friends Lieut. Peary is that man. for some of them nj least are continually making him more and more ridiculous than he makes himself. One of his most ar dent supporters and advocates is MT. H. L. Bridgman. who delights in com ing before the public in defence of the claims of his chief. One of his latest delfverances is to the effect that the public does not understand the matter as 1t should. Then he puts forth ths astonishing statement, in effect if not in exact words, that Cook should not have started on his expedition until Penry had returned; then, if the lat- ter failed to And the Pole pr. Cook shoufd have started.
 Was there ever more selfish and conceited proposition put forthF As The Raleigh Evening Times remarks, s4t is this narrow-minded view of the whole matter by Peary and his friends that the public does understand. And ss is just that that has disgusted the public, with Peary. Bridgman com pains of. this attitude of the public, Bavs the ruhlic doesn't understand yet every time he opens his mouth he mskes matters worse. If Peary ex- prcts to gain. or wants the approval os the pub he had better put rauzzIe on the mouth of himself and Trends"
 We rather think the public Is De- ginning to understand very clearly that Peary doesn't want any one but himself to have any of the honors. Not only himself but his packers ap- pear to be dominated by the idea that he will not be entitled to any credit or glory if it shall be proven that Cook was first at the long-coveted spot. They seem unable to realize that if both reached the pole there is glory enough for two. and that the one who succeeded did so without help from the other. It is a great pity that Peary and his friends and supporters cannot be governed by a spirit of fairness. and wait till all the facts are established before denounc- ing Cook.

Now. the pastors of the various churches throughout all Ala bama know personally these men of their fiocks, who are opposed to this amendment, and they know full well that these men, thousands of them, are not whiskey men. but in thousands of instances are among the most consci- entious men in their hocks. and conn munity. and for these various pastors to sit idly and see and hear these good citizens so unjustly maligned. raising no voice of protest. Is only to acquiesce in this vicious and unwarranted ma- lignment.
 Suppose in every church those who propose to exercise the right of every free citizen of these United States should feel impelled, as matter of self-respect, to organize, and in body, go to their several pastors. and tell them that, to be able to feel free to vote as their consciences dictate, with out subjecting themselves to these un- just attacks. unrefuted by such pas tors, they prefer to withdraw from said churches communion and member ship. What per cent of the various churches would be thereby eliminated? Stranger things than this have oc- cured. Yours.

CAN MODERATION BE MAIN-
 TAINEDf
MANN

When the present unnecessary and ill-advtsed campaign opened we fore saw that 1t was bound to be a bitter one. A campaign conducted on strict more or less of bitterness in it. be- cause men become heated and too of- ten intolerant when party principles are discussed, and sometimes fail to consider that every man has an equal right to hold and express his opinions on all subjects: therefore intolerance and partisanship not infreauently usurp the place of fairness and tol- erance.
 But we foresaw from the beginning that this was bound to be something far more radical than a political cam paign, because 1t was bound to cause differences and hard feelings between friends who had always stood together in politics. It was almost sure to di- vide families. because members of the same family cannot always see and think alike. Some will stand for con stitutional prohibition while others of was more to be deplored. we feared that too much zeal on one side or the other was iikly to disturb the har- mony and brotherhood of churches and thus work harm to the cause of religion itself.
 Foreseeing all this We hoped that the campaign might be conducted on the high plane" that is much talked about; the plane of fairness and mod eration. The Advertiser for its part started out with the determination that. if allowed to do so. it. at least, would endeavor to avoid personalities and invective. and hoped that the ad- vocates of the amendment would be equally fair ana tolerant, but that hope was short-lived. Already this pa- per has been aasailed from the press and the stump. and even from the pull pit in some instances. with a bitter ness of denunciation almost beyond belief If that were all we might con- slider 1t a natural part of the game that Is being played. but that is not the worst of it. for some of the advo- cates of the amendment have not he's itated to indulge in misrepresentation and inuendo of the most offensive type, and in some cases have reverted to patent falsehood to help their cause.
 Under such circumstances what is @ fearless and self-respecting newspaper to do? Must it tamely submit to be traduced. its objects and purposes mis- represented and its honesty impugned. or must 1t adopt the methods of its enemies and fight them with some Of their own ammunition7 It is e diff fcult problem. To submit to what ever of abuse and misrepresentation may be heaped on 1t would be &C., counted cowardly. but on the other hand. to take off the bridle" and re- turn hard words for hard words would be contrary to The Advertisers con- ception of what a great newspaper should be and how 1t should conduct its editorial columns. It is not a pleasant position. looking at it either way. but if some of those who are as- sailing the paper with So much bitter ness and unfsirness should get some of their own medicine they may only blame themselves for having begun that kind of warfare.
