 As an instance of what competition will do, the train service between hero and Lafayette is an example. Before the Lafayette Railroad was built thers was an accommodation train from la fayette over the Csntsal in the morning that returned late in the afternoon. The Lafayette Railway was built and put on a double daily service each way. ana the. Lafayette merchants boycotted any. drun1mers that came over any inc other than the homo line. Now the Central of Georgia has put on e double daily sarvice between Opelilxa and Aoenolre and inod- dontally Lafayette, and makes four pas sengsr trains each way bstwsen opslika and Lafkyetts daily, distancs sf some twenty miles.

REBUILD THE KIDNEYS.

Any kidney or bladder trouble is ss- rious one and should have early and right attention. The kidneys are slow to yield to disease and whep they do. over work is the usual cause. An affected kid ney is an exhausted one, impure blood has weakened 1t; the remedy needed h one that will restore strength and rebuild the kidney itself. This Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic will do. It has been doing 1t for forty-five years and no other remsdy has ever b. ( n he'd in such universal favor.
 The kidneys filter impurities out or the blood When the blood Is bad the kid news get cloggtd with these poisons; pr. Harter's Iron Tonic cures by neutranzlne the impurities, by hastening their expui- sion. by building up the tissues or the kidneys, and by giving these o: gans more strength and activity. While it ie curin8 kidney and urinary troubl>s 1t is also repairing all the delicate machinery oi the body.
 This Is the best of all tonics. It does everything that any ordinary tonic can do and very many important things that other remedies cannot do. Nor can 1t do anything but good; 1t Is absolut ly harm less, and can be given to support the strength and to hasten the cure of any invalid, young or old. Ordinary iron sometimes harms, but the iron in liar ter's Tonic is In such form that 1t does no harm It enriches the blood, strength ems the stomach. and aids digestion. Made by Dr. Harter Medicine Co.,. Day. ton, Ohio. Sold everywhere. O

gram. and 1t Is further claimed that we can have no successful racing as long as we have on our statute books the present laws against book-maieng and pool-selling. but we are not willing to admit the correctness of the contention. As long as there Is disposition among men to bet they will do so, on races or anything else, and the fact that books and pools are prohibited should not be a bar to racing. Neither are we will ing to admit that the success of Fair depends entirely on the racing and gambling features which are usually prominent. It really seems that there should be. enough pride and emulation among farmers and others to make a Fair successful even if the racing feature is not made the most important part of it.
 Montgomery ought to do something to bring together the best people from all over the State. and as Street Fairs are not altogether satisfactory something else should be tried and we believe a great Agricultural Fair is the thing.

THE NEW CONSTITUTION.

The old Constitution has gone out of existence and the new one is now the organic law of Alabama Public affairs will in no wise be disturbed by the change and everything will fit in so nicely that there will be nc jar. Those features which are self-executing will of course be enforced at once and those requir- ing legislative action will be taken up and properly disposed of when the leg islature meets.
 There Is fitness in this new order of things going into effect on Thanksgiving Day It is a cause for thankfulness on the part of a people when they are the recipients of any great benefit and in this new Constitution the people of Alabama will come to realize that conditions in the future will be infinitely better thar in the past. They will enjoy the benefits to follow from a more enlightened sui frage, from larger school facilities. from purity in the conduct of elections ano | from a more economical administration | of public affairs. In many ways Alabama
 will feel the good of this new Constitu | fion

the clashing of forces neither of which enc would spare. But of course 1t may be overdone. and it Is preferable that energy of this sort should not be too much developed In one's own household; and that both likes and dislikes should find some field for cultivation away from home.
 'I have been surprised" says Aunt Matilda to Susan's mother. ito see how we'll Susan has hit 1t off with my Jane since she has been vi siting us. They s seemed to get on perfectly. and yet both Jane and Susan have been thought to be rather 'bossy.'"
 So they are. each in her own field. Both Jane and Susan have younger sisters. and feel authorized to lay down the law to them when circumstances seem to war. rant i. But laying down the law to any one else than a younger sister Is a diff ferent matter. and they instinctively feel the inexpediency of that Yet they ob serve and reflect. and no beam that may he in their own eye is likely to be big enough to make them blind to the neigh bor-child's mote.

PAYING POLL TAX.
The Selma Times says:

A great many of the younger genera lion of voters are earnestly questioning themselves as to whether 1t will pay to invest a dollar and half in making their registration certificate good at the polls and they are almost persuaded to give the whole thing-registration, poll tax and all-the go by. That should not be the case. Dallas County needs every white voter, and every one should register and perform every act necessary to permit them to vote in the November election. The poll tax has to be paid on or before the first day of February next. That is a condition precedent for all voters between the ages of 2l and 45 to exercise their privilege of voting at the State election next November A payment after that time won't do.
 We cannot believe that The Times is correct in saying that "a great many of the younger generation" are disposed to give up their right to vote rather than pay $l 30 poll tax. The young men and those up to A years of age can do noth- ing better for the State than to con tribute that small sum towards the education of the children who are to be | in control of it's public affairs in the years | to come. A poll tax receipt ought to ne regarded as a badge of honor and we are firmly persuaded that nine-tenths of the whites who are subject to it will So look upon it. The new Constitution is now the supreme law of the State and its requirements as to suffrage must he met. Every one should bear in mind that while no payment of poll tax is re- quired for registration. the fact of regis
 tration will do no good unless the pol
 tax Is paid on or before the 1st day oi next February. This matter ought t. be kept constantly before the public
 Those between H and 45 years of agt must pay the poll tax or be deprived oi the privilege of voting. It must be patt
 by the 1st of next February.
