Of course both governments are apprized of the fact that the restriction has been re- moved and neutral powers will note the developments with interest. Russia and Japan are reported to be well supplied with balloons, Russia having purchased large number and Japan having captured part of them, and the chances are that balloon warfare in the far cast would prove Very destructive. It might also put speedy end to the struggle. in ad- dition to giving the war correspondents ample opportunity to elaborate on their descriptions.
 The crop reports from Alabapa are very encouraging and ;he farmers are feel-( ing jubilant over their prospects. This is as it1should be. When the man whd tills the soil is amply repaid for the sweat of his brow all channels of tradd reap the benefit. According to predictions this will be banner year for farmers in Alabama and other southern states. The fruit crop has been abundant, the outlook for cotton is promising and with a democratic victory next November the horn of plenty should be running over. There will be more pianoes, organs and talking machines bought by the farmers this winter than in some time past and along about Christmas Santa Claus will do big business.

While 1t is rather surprising to hear of a seashore girl ever going into the water, in the first place, some of them still take the risk although the report that the hero business is not banning out well may be due to the fact that the girl in the bathing suit is more sensible this year than ever and is stay. ing on the shore where she belongs.

Pratt City Is taking the strike in a very quiet way" said a miner last night. While the town Is dependent upon the mines and business is practically at a standstill since the men quit work, never theless everybody seems to be having a good time and no one. apparently, is wor- rying over the situation The citizens are engaging in various sports to pass away the time and large numbers of watermel- ons are being consumed. Naturally, it is very quiet in Pratt City, but I am glad that the people are still hopeful and a cheerful spirit prevails"

REFLECTIONS O. A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 Everybody would have a good deal more money if it wasn't any use to him.
 The best way to make a girl understand how much you love her Is to tell her how lovable she is.
 There doesn't seem to be much sense in the way a girls hair musses up just because you are kissing her.

The Stock Market.

In his weekly market letter Henry Clews says:
 "A reactionary tone prevailed in the stock market duying the greater portion of the week-thf result of profit taking and selling by ttadefs on the short side. As q consequence, the extremely opti- mstic views held in some quarters be- came somewhat modified and market opin- ion was more evenly divided. There is, however, a substratum of confidence based upon the splendid crop situation that holds the market impervious to all serious attacks from speculative sources. Another week of excellent growing wealth CT has been experienced, increasing the promise for cotton, corn, wheat, oats. hay, potatoes and other crops, and dimin- ishing the chances of injury. Only one more month remains in which damage can be done.
 'Drouth is now the single serious possi- bility; and it must be admitted there is little danger in that respect because the soil has been so well saturated by gen. eral rains and the plants have made such strong growth that they are in a good condition to stand a lack or mois- ture. should that happen. Absence of rain In August the ripening month is much less serious than in the previous or grow ing months As for frost the danger from that source IS less than usual, SincG most of the crops especially cotton are early Complaints of chinch bugs and other in- iuries are unusually rare; while the ra- pacious boil weevil, which caused such n loss of cotton last year, and which max he counted on for some damage this year. is exciting much less concern than a year ago. In short, it is many years since the crop outlook was so favorable, and while after such long period of uninter-
 
 nected still the assurances of today are as much in favor of both liberal and pro- ntabe crops to the farmers as could be expected."

FATHER O'REILLY.


 Montgomery Times: The death of Fa ther OReilly continues to call forth from press and people cordial expressions of sympathy and regret. It has been long time since the death of an Alabamian has provoked such widespread sense of sorrow. ITO live in hearts we leave behind is not to die" and the passage of this great and good man suggests an instance of how we may live by dying. Bessemer Workman: In the lamentable accident which resulted in the death of the Rev. Father P. A. O'Reilly this dis trict has lost one of its best and most useful citizens. He was widely known and esteemed by all denominations as a man of noble purpose and consecra.ed life.
 Father O'Reilly planted kind thoughts and deeds everywhere. and sunshine grew where, perhaps, only clouds and darkness were before, and in this he was a bene- factor. The world is better for his having lived in it.

The rise of Chairman Thomas Taegart from the pie counter to his present lofty station in national politics is merely an other example of what energy and pluck will accomplish in a democratic country. As rule we do not look upon the man who bawls ''ham and' back to the chef and serves us with nasty lunch as a future candidate for the hall of fame but one can never tell about such matters Perhaps few of the tramps that were bounced" by Henry Gassaway Davis during his brakeman days dreamed that they enjoyed the honor of being kicked off a freight train by a vice presidential nom- inee that was to be.

COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE WORLD

M HE summary manner in which kOR Judge Parker has been called
 to account by a young wo- man of New York for his atti- tude toward the snapshot fends has created a great deal of satirical discussion. It seems that a Miss Roberson some time ago discovered that a certain manufacturing firm had enlarged and re- produced her picture and had sent 1t ont broadcast over the land for advertising purposes. Now the young lady did not crave such notoriety. so she sought re- dress in the courts. Judge Parker presld- ed and decided that she had no damages forthcoming. Now the judge demands the right of privacy and finds that he is not sustained by the law Moreover lis dis comfort is rendered more acute by Q very satirical communication from Miss Roberson who shows him that what is sauce for the goose Is sauce for the gan der The incident is amusing and does no damage to the Judges political for tunes but is also interesting from the fact that it is another illustration of the up-to-datcness in which we live. No public character is safe from the sketch artist and the snapshot fend in these late days The camera is the penalty of greatness, but perhaps after all it is q wise provls- ion, since the knowledge that he is apt to be photographed during every waking hour of his life may prompt man to look very carefully after his personal conduct. so that there will be no danger of his be- Ing "snapped' when he is up to some thing that he does not want to be gem orally known.
