A Virginia paper having declared that 1t would not discuss any subject until thoroughly conversant with it in all its bearings" The Norfolk Landmark takes occasion to say that If everybody pur- sued that plan "the human race would become dumb and idiotic." We are not sure about the last part of it. but we are sure that people would all become dumb. What subject is any man, CT wo- man either, thoroughly conversant with? The very best and most experienced law yers fin the world write their own wills which will not stand the first effort to break them. The best doctors take exactly opposite sides in the discussion of diseases and remedies which are old as the hills. The most learned theolo- gians differ in their reading of the Bible. Scientists of worldwide fame differ about matters about which they ought to be perfectly informed. In short. the very best informed among us, including The Advertiser. cannot claim to know all about anything This Virginia editor doesn't know 1t all. we'll lay postage stamp.

May Be a Trick in It.
Dothan Home Journal.

DOthan Home Journal.
 It is noticeable that the opponents of the new Constitution, both white and black, are paying the poll tax and get ting ready to vote at the next election, while many Democrats have so far neg lected to qualify for voting by paying the poll tax. Many of them will yet pay m but there has been a want of inter- est with quite number of them.
 The Geneva Reaper openly advises all the people not to pay. the poll tax; and we have not observed that any of the newspapers or public men who oppose the Constitution publicly advise any one to qualify as a voter except The Dale County Alliance
 Here, then, may be the trick. Dis courage the people in general from pay ing the tax and registering so that they may vote. but let the word be "saunt'.' around secretly to all the opponents of straight Democracy to be certain to do all that is necessary to enable them to cast a ballot, so that when the oppor- tunity comes they may overwhelm the plain Democrats who took their advice thnt was publicly given and by them privately disregarded.
 In the mixed metaphor of the Irish orator who suspected a trick in pro- posed measure q smell a rat I see 1t in the air. I'll nip it in the bud!"
 If not rat. there is a cat, yea two or three cats in that meal tub of advice not to pay the poll tax.

The voyage of Prince Hem ry to America is an expression of these good relations and I am convinced his reception will be in accord with the friendly feelings the two great na- tions have for one another"

An interesting fact connected with

that a short time ago he predicted IL.
The Elks have q pretty lot in Oak
Grove cemetery, on which beautiful
monument is to be placed. The lot
was recently purchased and no one has
yet been buried on 1t.
Mr.. McNulty was out driving with

the cemetery, and looking over at the
Elks' burying plot, Mr.. McNulty said
he guessed he would be the first one
buried in it, and so it will be. To.
morrow his remains will be laid to
rest there.
