COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE WORLD

quiring the arts of civilization. It is a far cry from dog meat and the clout to typewriter, but one of them seems 10 have made the trip. In course of time a great many Igorrotes may learn to write on typewriters, but 1t Is hardly probable that the ladies will ever shine as office stenographers. because so few of them would be considered good look ing by the average business man.
 With grand old yesuyius spouti..g lava again there should be a great rush of artists, photographers ard moving pie ture men to the historic mount. Vesuvius has behaved so well here of late that 1t has come to be considered more of a spectacle than a menaclng volcano, and geologists are so sure that they can keep tab on the craters activities that a second Mont Pelee affair is hardly con sideration.
 The elevator hog bids fair to step Into the place so lately held by the end seat hog The elevator hog has the adyan- tage of indulging his hoggishness all the year around, while the end seat hog must necessarily restrict his activities to the summer season. when open cars are in order. Both have been roundly condemned, and both are equally serene amid the storm of public disapproval that beats about their heads. In these respects they are quite similar, as well as in their disregard for the comfort of their fellows In an explanatory way it may be said that the elevator hog is the man who does not intend to leave the car until he gets to the tenth floor. but remains standing at the door in the way of everyone who wants to get in or out. The elevator hog can be found in Birmingham, but. fortunately, is not very numerous.
 Robert Edeson, an actor, who is con- stdered something of a matinee idol will play the part of a college-b bred Indian this winter, and 1t remains to be seen whether impressionistic maidens will l worship him as ardently beneath a bronze disguise as when he was dash ing pale-face. The part of an Indian is rather unusual for 8 theatrical star. although it has been conspicuous in wild West drama for many years, but MT. Ed. eson will be very conventional Indian, who will play in the college football 1 game Thanksgiving day, and will proba- ] ply win the heart of some demure maid who admires him for his great strength. MT. Edeson has been very successful in such heroic parts, thanks to a pleasing | face and an athletic figure
 It is rumored that the "unkissed" son of Dowie wants to practice law in Chi cago, where the chances are that he will be kissed before he is much older. If young Dowie Is endowed with any of that shrewdness which characterizes his distinguished father there Is no reason why he should not succeed in law By paternal inheritance he ought to be able to pull down. some very large fees.
 The possibilities of American politics are again illustrated by the career of an Iowa man who was a circus clown, su- 1 perintendent of schools, mayor of Des Moines, a candidate for congress, a sa- l loon keeper, and lastly a professional wrestler. If anyone can beat that, Thomas Taggart included, he should speak up. PAUL COOK.

seems a difficult matter to stir ua
 enthusiasm in the presidential cam apisn which isenow jogging along to it's denoument so easily and complaisant- ly that the candidates themselves would go to sleep were it not for the cartoon ists who furnish entertaining pictures for their inspection. There Is none of that 'Whoop Hoorayr' spirit that we are ac- customed to expect in a contest of this character We have heard of no elec- tion fights thus far, bets have been made in a very perfunctory manner and even at the corner grocery there is a noticea- ble absence of that repressed excitement which characterized it's councils in by gone days Why does this quiescence on. the eve of the election discourage spell binders destroy the usefulness of the campaign prophet and render an appeal Tor funds worse than collecting bills on the first of the month"; The answer Is probably found in the fact that neither candidate Is doing any talking; there are lew personalities, and neither MT. Roosevelt nor Judge Parker shows any disposition to junket around for the pur- pose of string up enthusiasm among the voters. Conservatism Is the keynote of the campaign. Each candidate is trying to see how conservative he can be. and the result is that the great national bat tie that was formerly an inspiration to the American citizen has degenerated into quiet affair that promises to become positively monotonous. The Bryan style of campaign Is one that appeals to the popular fancy but politicians have de- cioes- --.at they want no more of Bryan- ism and hence the dignified ceremonious race for the White House that we are now witnessing.
 man shot himself in Pennsylvania the other day and left a note stating that 1t was the last of "good fellow" Phil osophers have warned us often in the past that 1t Is hard to be a good fellow and succeed It is pointed out that few good fellows do win fame, riches and honor and that the man who thinks more than he talks, who works more battles at the end. And yet, the good fellow Is not to be despsed by austere mortals whose selfish purposes preclude the sunny generosity and amiable spirit that always distinguish the man who is popular. The good fellow may not be a great man but he is one of the world s cheerest optimists and while his achieve ments mayAnot ring loudly m the public's ears If he aecomplishes the task of mak- ing life brighter for his friends and as- sociates he has not lived in vain. The | good fellow is often maligned by thought less persons who think that because he is ever ready for a lark he is capable of nothing else. Many good fellows have suffered in secret from troubles that gnawed their hearts but were yelled by a smile and the men who laughed at their sprightly wit or joined them about the festive board little dreamed they were anything more than they appeared.

 The price of cotton at present Is very encouraging. It Is too soon yet to tell where it will be by the time the crop gets in, but as it is following the same course that it was this time last year, we all hope history will repeat itself Florence Times.
 Two hundred and thirty acres of straw berry plants are now growing around Florence, Lawrenceburg and Summer town. When these demonstrate the suc- cess that await them several hundred more acres will be devoted to the busi- ness When that time comes, with three or four hundred acres in cantaloupes, we will be strictly on the high road to prosperity.
