Busy Moving Day.

This was moving day." said transfer man last night eve had our hands full all day taking care of people who de- sired to change their abode before the winter season begins. In all parts of Bir- ningham the migration of renters was general and amply justified the reputa- ton which October has achieved. Those unpleasantly situated spent a wearying day endeavoring to better their condition, and the man behind with his landlord was seized with a strong desire to follow suit and jump the game. It was busy day for the landlords as well as ourselves, but of course we did not mind. The more movers the better business for furniture vans.
 q have often wondered how October l originated as moving day, but have never arrived at a satisfactory answer. The real estate men tell me that leases for the next twelve months are usually signed on this day. The custom naturally led to a general shakeup of renters on October 1, but why was this day chosen in preference to any other? A man can sign a lease just as well in the middle of June as in October. At any rate the custom is an ancient one, and the woes of the moving man are of periodic occur rence."

On the other hand. much delay in collecting information might in- crease the difficulty of the task The great desideratum, of course, would be complete returns from all cases in America treated by the different methods, say, since 19OO It should be possible to tabulate these in such way as to preclude bias and leave the intelligent reader to draw his own conclusions.

Age of Maqazines.

This is the age of magazines" said book dealer yesterday "and the United States leads the world in these publici- tions. In no other country will they be found in such. numbers and of such general excellence. There are magazines on every subject. It would be hard to find any field of endeavor at this time that has not its special publication. Ali sciences, all professions and every class of people have magazines devoted to their interests. If you are a bookworm you subscribe for the 'Bookman'; if sports man for Outing; if you are interested in the sciences there are periodicals ga- lore treating of various subjeets and if you are interested in nothing at all there are magazines for passing away the time.
 Magazine publishing has made rapid strides within the past ten years. Our leading periodicals represent the top notch of artistic and mechanical achieve ment. Plants costing fabulous sums are necessary for producing them and a great army of talented people is employed. Competition has become so great that a magazine has to be unusually good to attract public attention. The advance ment in printing has kept pace with that of the artist and both have united in pro- Of thousands of periodicals that flood the country, nearly all have points of ex- cellence.

 awhile we thought the struggle would cost the lives of many of our volunteer troops, but our fears were happily not realized. so far as Alabama was con- cerned. Towns in this state fortunate enough to secure encampments will prob- ably never again experience the bustle and activity that characterized them while they had the troops. To our young CT generation the movement of troops through the south afforded a valuable ob- ject lesson. Hurrying vans and dashing officers gave a touch of war without its bloody accompaniment

Primary Elections.

For reasons best known to them selves the two houses have left the primary bill to come Up for passage on the last crowded day of the ses- sion, The importance of passing an adequate primary law does not seem to be unappreciated, and it is difficult to say why it has been left to the final day. But, no doubt all differ ences will be harmonized, and an agreement will be reached tomorrow.
 The law will be of little value unless it provides that lists of those voters who had paid on or before the pre- vious first day of February all poll ttxes assessed against them, are fur nished to the primary officers of each precinct before a primary is held. Senators and representatives who live in agricultural districts, where every voter is known, may not see the abso- lute need of this safeguard against dishonest voting, but surely all mem- bera from the cities of the state will appreciate it. Tn the cities there can not be an honest expression of the will of the people in a primary unless such official lists duly certified by the probate judge are furnished. ~
 If the expense would be considera- ble-and it woutl be inconsiderable- yet it should not be considered, be- cause it would relate to the expression of the peoples will in it's most inn portant and decisive stage. The con firmatory election will rank low while present political conditions en- dure, and the primary will rise in i'm portance each year. It is therefore best to hedge it about with all reas- enable precaul4Cns, and proofs of citi- zenship. Lists of pon tax payers in each beat are all essential at the bal lot box when a primary is held The city precincts need them, and they will do no harm in the country dis tricts

IN HOTEL LoBBIES.
The coosa.


 There is considerable talk just now about how little 1t would cost to make the coosa river navigable up to Rome, Ga.," said a well known engineer.
 Tt has even been asserted that the work can be completed with an expendi- ture of $5,O0OO 900. The Coosa Is a very long and narrow river and there is an enormous fall from Rome to the gulf. For every twelve or fifteen feet of fall a lock and dam must( be built, and l am of the opinion that the number re- quired could by no means be built for so small a sum as $50OO, GOO.
 One engineer has made a survey and thinks to lessen the expense by building the dams as high as eighteen feet so that a fewer number of them will have to be built. If the coosa were raised eighteen feet the adjoining farm lands would be so badly overtlowed that the damage could hardly be underestimated. After the water in a river gets up to a certain height every additional foot inere ases it's breadth enormously. The additional width also makes it much more expensive to build suitable dams and abutments.
 There is no doubt that the opening of the river to slack water navigation would mean a great deal for the east ern and northeastern parts of the state, but I should be very much surprised if the work can be done for twice 5000, O0O."

From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune
 N- HERB was danger at one time \CH that the public would overrate
 the qualifications of the Vienna surgeon who was summoned to the Unit ed States by Mr. Armour last year. It looks now as if the pendulum of opinion might swing too far in the other direc- tion. Hence the exercise of caution in drawing inferences regarding him is to be strongly recommended In the long run. of course, 1t is the method rather than the man which must be judged. For the time being however. one should dis criminate between Dr. Lorenz's own cases and those of his imitators. As might have been expected, the new operation does not give such good results in the hands of the disciples as in the masters A still more important thing to remem- Der is that no fair estimate of the success or failure of the Lorenz system can be reached until the results have been de- termined in much larger number of his cases.
 It is due to the Austrian to keep in mind the fact that he has made no pre- tension to infalliblity. His most enthu- siastic professional admirers, too. have refrained from imputing it to him. With congenital dislocation of the hips. as with a score of other human infirmities for which the services of specialists are sought the outcome of an operation can- not be foretold with precision. Prognosis cannot be reduced to a mathematical cer- tainty. and no one knows it better than the experts themselves. Differences in recuperative power, which in turn are due to inequalities in vigor at the time of treatment and in constitution, have an important bearing on the result. If false hopes have been entertained in regard to any of pr. Lorenz's patients. or those of his imitators. it is unjust to hold him re- sponsible.
 While it is too soon. perhaps, to say how much better are the practical results of the methods followed by Dr. Lorenz than of those formerly employed in sim liar cases, his visits to America have certainly done good. The older treatment is still in vogue, and is often attended with gratifying consequences. Probably it will never be entirely displaced. By demonstrating the newer practice, how ever. Dr. Lorenz has widened the view of the profession. He was not the orig inator of the operation with which his
