They Might Apologize

The Houston (Texas) Post says:
Unfortunately, there is no bareback
process by which MIR Taft can restore
to Mr.. Bryan the democratic votes that
were hlched through the Brandenburg
fraud known as the Cleveland interview. .

independent newspapers whose editors
stood sponsor for the genuineness of the
Brandenburg letter might at least apollo
gize to their readers for their false senti-
ments.-Commoner.

People who know Of the pleas made to

Montgomery, December 4-(Special)-
The importance of the river development
In this section of the state is found in
the great commerce that is to come down
from the Coosa and its tributaries when
the shoals from Wetumpka to Riverside
are circumvented, as they are going to
be soon. Montgomery, right on the way
south, is getting ready for the traffic
by building a wharf and organizing
boat line that will keep the river in
service all the time.
Government engineers have estimated
that the commerce of the Coosa river
valley is not less than s50,0o,Ooo a year.
Even during the year 1908, the commerce
on the Alabama river alone was $780,
900. On the 1874 miles of the Coosa it
was s3,5OO0o0. 1t will grow all the time
with the Improvements. From 1904 to
1908, tax values in the Coosa valley in
creased 49, per cent. and there was great
increase IN the coal and ores mined, ini
tial developments of the brick, marble and
cement industries. The cement output
now Is 10000 barrels a year. and brick
of all kinds 100000 tons.
In the valley of the Coosa, which, when
the river is opened, must carry out its
riches via the Alabama river. Montgom-
cry and Selma and Mobile. there are
manufacturing plants that cost the large
sum of ss6o0o,0 900, and their products in
1908 amounted to s4s 100000. In this territory
s14,0Oo.0oo are invested in cotton mills,
which use 22500o bales year, and turn
out goods valued at 2e.000, coo. Ten mil
lions of dollars are invested in iron fur
naces, which have an output valued at
$4,000 900. Iron ores to the extent of l.
$50 600 tons are mined every year, with
$4,000 tons of coal and 100000 tons of
limestone. The total value of the Coosa
river mineral output is placed at So

V. Lee of the Gadsden criminal court,
suffered stroke last night and is in a

so far she has not been sufficiently re-
vived to give any encouragement for her
recovery. The doctors pronounce her all
ment as heart failure.
The teachers of the county had pay
day today and the county superintendent
disbursed something over 5000 In salaries.
There are now 70 teachers in the county
schools and almost all make good re-
ports of the progress that is experienced
in attendance and other details of the
education of the boys and girls of the
country precincts.
The farmers are still maoing -deliv-
cries of the cotton that was sold last

at least So per cent of the cotton that
was contracted in advance this year has
now been delivered.
