NOTES AND PERSONALS.

The cool weather of yesterday made autumn frocks and hats more popular, there were more people driving, a number of fashionable women were in town dur Ing the shopping hours. and altogether there was many evidences that society is at last back in town.
 
 Birmingham is almost subtle in it's transformations. One day 1t is deadly dull and every one thinks what a stupid sea- son 1t is going to be. Then, before one knows of it, things are in a whrl. women who are thinking of entertaining begin to get conflicting dates and the clubs announce their evening parties.
 
 While the October days are decidedly cooler, the dust, even on the fashionable oriveways, is extremely disagreeable, and the automobilists complain of the dust encountered in the country. The motor club has not made any recent tours, but the owners of motor cars go for long tours in the country almost daily, de- spite the fact that so many people are discussing the sad and probably fatal Illness of Lady Curzon. which was caused py long automobile ride.
 The golf course at the Country club is very popular these October days with Birmingham women.

A MATTER That Needs Amending. The
Selection of Board Should be
Business Proposition.

There is too much time wasted by
counting boards at election, and the
choosing of election boards should be a
business proposition. The fact that
some one has done good work for the
party does not warrant his being cbos-
en- as election judge or clerk, if he is
not competent. In many cases men
who are unused to clerical work. men
who are too illiterate to be of use are
appointed because they need the mon
ey, or desire distinction. In other
cases men who have no control over
their appetites and are in no condition
whatever, to act in any capacity. are
appointed. Busy men await with i'm.
patience to learn the rerults. Three
accountants can do the work required
in third OF the time it generally takes
the ordinary board. The appointment
of boards of election should be bust
ness proposition pure and simple. Let
us have clerks and judges who are
capable and will attend to business.
