Reuistrars Should Meet.

Registrars have been or soon will be appointed for every county, and if these registrars could get together at Montgomery or Birmingham and sit day in executive council, 1t would result in greater evenness of construc- ton and action throughout the State in matter of deep and far-reaching interest.
 No resolutions need be in order. It should be a conference or school of instruction. If such teachers as Judge Coleman or John B. Knox were asked to be present, not to deliver long ad- dresses, but to answer questions, still greater good might be reached.
 The object of such a conference would be to secure uniformity in the execution of the temporary plan. This is Very essential, for there will be but one selection of life electors, and all life electors should be tried by a com mon standard. A standard in Blount County should not differ from a stand ard in Bibb, and so on throughout the State. Evenness will not be easily attained, for there are no guides of any sort-no decisions, no practice, no individual experiences under the new reason desirable, and surely. at least one registrar in each county can be found who will attend such a meeting.

Sermon on Success.

While discussing the question of pros- perity and the effect too much talking of pessimistic nature has. John l.. Parker referred to an editorial in Success" as a sermon in few words It was read as follows:
 "I never knew man to be successful who was always talking about business being bad. Never allow yourself to dwell on the dark side of anything You should refuse to talk about depressed markets or hard times. Learn to talk up. not down. Many business men be- come chronic grumblers and fault finders. Times are always hard with rut. and never see brightness or success in anything It is impossible for such people to prosper. Success is a delicate plant and requires encouragement and sunshine.
 Regard yourself as superior to the evils which surround you. Learn to dom- mate your environment, to rise above depressing influences. Look for the gloomy side.
 "The world likes sunny, hopeful, buoy ant characters; it shuns lugubrious prophets, who see only failure and dis aster everywhere. The hopeful, cheer full men and women, who see success and longevity in their callings, are the ones who are sought after. It is as natural to try to avoid disagreeable, un- pleasant people. as it is to try to escape from the clouds and shadows into the sunlighS"
