Ten Nishts In a Bar Room.

i This well known temperance pla
was given on Decoration night t,
the largest and most appreciativ
audience ever gathered IN tn,
Court House As early as SUI
down the crowd began to gathe
and by the time the curtain raised
there was not standing room in tht
hall, many being turned away be-
cause they could not get standing
room inside. The play was giver
by Hamilton's Band and was cast as
follows:

Mehitable Jane Ann Cartright
Miss Maggie Martin.
Will Wehrle, as Mr. Roman play
ed the part of the philanthropist,
exceedingly well, gave good advice
to all those who were engaged in
the liquor traffic.
John Russell as Simon Slade, made
an excellent inn keeper, and it was
the opinion of everyone that John
had the proper place.
Brother Buis, as Willie Hammond,
the son of the rich judge, played his
part well and gave an example of
how a young man can climb down
the ladder when he resorts to strong
drink.
Will Shelley, as Swichel, caused
much merriment, his makeup was
excellent and this part portrayed the
evils which beset one who stoops to
continual intoxication. Old Swichel
finally knocks off and comes out
right side up, gets married and set
Ties down. Will always plays his
part we'll.
We played Harvey Green, the
gambler, and let the audience Judge
low well.
Clyde Mars, played Frank Slade

;ould have played it any better.
His part gave an example of how a
'oung man brought up ina saloon
S liable to end.
Ben Bolin, played Joe Morgan the
lrunkard, the most difficult part in

veryone that Ben couldnot be beat
or an amateur actor.
Miss Jessie Marshall as Mrs.
'lade, the landlords wife, played
he part fine, and all through warn
d Simon Slade of the dangers be-
ore him.
Miss Naomi Read, as Mrs. Nor

Name Club letter to the delegates of the Constitutional Convention, and to say that now, the entire body of Ala bama women make 1t their request to the Legislature of 1903.
 Montgomery, Ala, March 9, 1901. Dear Sir-The Alabama Federation of Women's Clubs being deeply interested in the vital question of education, the No Name Club, as part of that federation, respectfully submits this letter for the consideration of the delegates from this county and district to the Constitutional Convention. We will not annoy you by personal appeals, but present our plea, feeling sure that 1t will not fall to secure due consideration from gentlemen who know for themselves the inestimable benefit of a good education.
 We welcomed and approved most heart fly the State examination law for teach CTS, and now we wish to go one step far ther and provide that the county super intendents shall also be required to have educational qualification for office.
 All over the State we have the incon- gruous situation of teachers with certif- cates from the State Board of Examiners, holding institutes unde: superintendents whose kno wledge of the most ordinary common school branches is to say the least. elementary. Is It too much to ask that the Constitutional Convention shall require the superintendent to be at least the equal of the teachers over whom he presides, and whose work he is supposed to direct?
 A careful study of the Digest of Com mon School Laws, issued by the United States Bureau of Education reveals the fact that almost without exception, in the States that employ county superin- tendents as part of the educational sys- tenn. it is expressly stated that he shall be "of literary and scientific attain ments;" well qualified both intellectually and morally" "of liberal education" etc North Dakota and Montana stipulate that mo one is eligible unless he has a certificate of the highest county grade;" and the Mississippi law states he shall

 Since Governor Montague of Virginia has told us in an unforgettable, splendid address, with all the potency of noble successful manhood behind every word he spoke. that it is the essence of treason to set personal ambition or a friends advancement before the good of the State, surely we can take the advice we sought , by our invitation to this old-time Virgin ian--a scholar and statesman. Hav- ing with high courage and faithfulness to duty, disfranchised ignorance, we surely can go on to disqualify incom- petence in the supervisors of schools. It is not untimely to republish the No

A REQUEST FROM THE
 NO NAME CLUB IN 1901
A Request from the Alabama Fed eration of Women's Clubs
 in 19O3

One matter to be presented by two committees of the Alabama Federation of Womens Clubs convention next week, the Legislative and Educational. Is en- actment of law requiring educational qualifications for eligibility to county superintendency of schools.
 The demand for this reform originated in the No Name Club of this city when one of it's members appointed chairman of Education Committee by Mrs. George B. Eager of that club. brought the con- vention at Selma to cordial endorsement of effort along these lines. Mrs. Eager. whose removal from the State Is keenly felt by every purposeful club woman and by all Christian workers for civic better ment, was then president of the Fedora ton.
 Later, the director of the No Name Club, Miss Clisby, wrote to each Mont gomery County delegate to the Constitu- tional Convention, a strong appeal for his support of the law; and Mrs. Nor rissette, still chairman of the committee, sent to the Hon. B. T. Graham at the head of the Education Committee of the Convention. a letter which quoted the pages of the digest of school laws to show that the women had investigated the en- actment of laws similar to those they were asking for, and had found them in operation in many States. Mrs. W. T. Johnston embodied all requisites in a fine appeal to the Convention.
 Subsequently, in reply to Mrs. Nor rissette's respectful enquiries of MT. Graham, and of Mir. Gregory Smith, who was chairman of Judiciary Committee of the Constitutional Convention, each re- piled that, not on account of lack of i'm trinsic importance and value were these laws left out, but for the sake of ex-

ABOUT "DIMPLES." 1"

ABOUT "DIMPLES." N 'It is an easy proposition" he went on to say as though talking to himself, that no woman ever possessed those tiny. depressions. called by the pretty name dimples," (and it exactly suits-it sounds so like they look) when they were not seals placed, claiming this per- son a swet character.
 Ill temper hardens the muscles; and they, drawing like cords. straighten and lengthen the face-forcing Out these nest ing places for smiles. Smiles deepen them and tears wash them away.
 Dimples are shy of grief; they fly at her approach and pitiful looking is the home that they have abandoned. Some times they can be coaxed to return; but 1t must be by careful and loving endearment; they come as ripples succeed waves upon a lake that has been storm beaten.
 Lovers kiss them and utter low spoken promises within their hearing: baby fingers touch them. and trace out the little circle and GOO and laugh when thei, tiny finger tips have completed this small journey around their little world; and the passing stranger smiles when their pos sessor passes and the stranger in some vague way warns within. and his thoughts go back to home.
 Her low sweet laugh and the dimples are inseparable; and when the lustrous eyes deepen and darken the dimples grow wider and wider. They expand Into a smile that inundates the whole gentle face; you will be frightened and cheer ed, and you will smile. though you may not have dimples. unless 1t be that there are mental dimples. Then you may surely possess one a reflection of hers and"-
 He paused and one of these smiles he was describing, slowly passed over his face in the same absent way as his ap- parent audible thinking. "I always liked dimples," he added, and there was a peculiar emphasis on the word that quite relieved 1t from 8 generality.

This measure so dear to our hearts, carries with it no appropriation. runs counter to no fixed Democratic principle. and makes war only upon official ignor- ance: therefore, the women of Alabama hope to see it embodied in the new Con stitution that Is to redress the wrongs of the past, right the evils of today, and give to Alabama surety of a prosperous, enlightened future.

ABOUT SEED POTATOES.
When Placed in the Ground and Cow
cred with Earth and Straw
They Keep Well.

American Gardening tells how some
have kept their potatoes intended for
seed. Selecting them when digging.
they store them in dry shed or
barn until the weather gets cold.
About the middle of November they
sort them, rejecting all that show
signs of decay. They then spread a
layer of straw eight or ten inches
thick upon the ground, and place the
potatoes ON this. The best results
are from mounds about three feet
wide at the base and rising like a
cone to about the same height. This
is covered with straw and then by a
layer of soil from six to eight inches
thick. Before the weather gets too
severe more soil may be added, and
when the ground is frozen, put on
more straw or strawy manure. They
seem to winter much better than in
cellars or when put in mounds or pits
as soon as dry. We would say that
we think it would not injure the ger
mination of the sprouts if the tubers
were frozen solidly in such mound,
if they were not disturbed until they
had thawed out in the earth in the
darkness. We have plowed out pota
toes in the spring that had lain with
in six inches of the surface of the
ground all winter, where the ground
had been frozen two or three feet
deep, and they were apparently as
sound and fresh as those dug in the
fall

According to French scientist
flowers are endowed with passions like
human beings, and there are few a
mong them which cannot love and
hate fergently. They have their
sympashies and asltipatniss, he ex-
plains, ''and if we study them cl osely
we ctn easily find them out. Roses
are passionately fonl of some flowers.
and flourish when near them. On the
other hand, they speedily wither when
placed near other flowers, and we 10 ust
infer that 1t is because the latter are
not congenial to them. Helitropes and
violets have a lively sympathy for each
other and 10 like manner there seems
to be warm friendship between pau
sizes and carnations" "If it can be
proved that flowers can love and
bate" says German writer, comment

to be difficult to prove that they have
