And flies away almost before you've paid for it. It pays to pay a little more for shirt, hat, tie, or any article and get something good. It will last twice as long, look twice as we'll, and give ten times more satisfaction than the cheap articles. Our styles are the latest, our stock is large, and we charge just enough to insure good quality.

WHAT CLASSES SHOULD
 THEY WEAR :?

The right ones of course. Wearing glasses-just any glasses-don't re- lieve eye strain. Might as well take the same medicine for all diseases as to wear the same kind of glasses for all defects of vision.
 WHY SHOULD YOU HAVE US FIT YOUR GLASSES?
 Because-If you know what you want we have it. If you don't know what you want-don't even know astigmatism from rheumatism-we will give you a thorough careful ex- animation and fit you with the Right glasses or none.

Votes and Population.

When the civil war came on in 1861 there were but 4,6S0,19 voters in this country. The number has risen until in the last presidential election 13,970,- 6o5 votes were cast. Since 1868 the national vote has been increased about million every four years. A singular exception was the vote of 1900, which was but 1s,426 greater than the vote of 1896, thus showing that about milfioa of democrats did not vote.
 Since 1856 when the republican party was organized the increase in the population has been 22S per cent, while the increase in the popular vote has been 243 per cent. A larger pro- portion of men of voting age go to the polls. The discrepancy in percent ages of the popular vote and popula- ton is doubtless due to the voting of negroes, which began in 1868. The vote of 1876 was more than two millions greater than the vote of 1872 The ne groes added over million to the pop ular vote.
 The vote this year promises to reach unprecedented figures. It will ap- proach to sixteen millions. A 'full'' vote will be boiled on both sides, and the customary percentage of increase since 1896 would carry the total far above fifteen millions. It will cer- tainly exceed 15,500,00o, and the St Louis nominee may carry it to sixteen millions. Our population now exceeds eighty millions.

Going to the Fair.

Birmingham people seem to be taking more interest in the fair now than for merly" said lawyer. T have heard several discussions recently and a great many people have decided to pay a visit to the big show. The general impression seems to be that September and October will be the best months in which to go, but understand that quite number of Birmingham people intend leaving for St. Louis before that time. The fair is now completed and one need have no fear of not seeing it all when he gets there.
 For a time there seemed to be some skepticism as regarded the success of the exposition and many people said that it was not worth seeing, but this idea has vanished now and everybody joins in praising the big show. It is generally conceded that the Louisiana purchase ex- position is the largest fair of the kind ever held, and Is well worth a visit.
 q also notice that peor.e from all parts of the state are now journeyng to St. Louis Within the past week quite a number have gone. and I predict that the number will steadily increase"

The Democratic Moses.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
 Parker has evidenced his capacity for leadership. With a few strokes of his pen he has done more to put the demo- cratic party upon firm basis than the united wisdom of the party was able to do for itself He is not following the or ganization-he is leading it.
 His telegram to the convention saved the situation when the convention was apparently unable to do so. He, in effect, showed the party what it wanted, and then gave it. By one stroke he put him self in the Cleveland class All confu- sion, all doubt, all uncertainty and hesita- ton have been sloughed off by the party through the conventions acceptance of his judgment It knows, at last, exactly where it stands. It has "got together" upon the only solid ground possible. He found the individuals willing to harmon ize, willing to give up all personal ann bitions for the sake of party unity, but wondering just exactly how it was to be done and he showed them how to do it.. He gathered them around himself, and by the double ties of recognition of his wis dom and admiration for his courage

Still Another Trust.

The popular circulating libraries of the country have been formed into a trust possessing capital on paper of SIP, 300 900. The consolidated com panies are the BoolSlovers' library, the Library Publishing company, the Phil adelphia Bookstore company and the Tabard Inn company The trust is to be known as "the Tabard Inn corpora tion," and it Win publish books as well as circulate .lem. It will have it's own retail stores in which used stock" will be sold, and it will main tain . place in the magazine field. It will in short be an all-around trust in it's own field.

BENEVOLENT PEOPLE AND
 THE BALTIMORE BABIES

but also swallow with impunfty nickels pennies buttons and scraps of newspa. pers, as we'll as all sorts If indigestibls foods provided for adults. Nobody knows how they survive on such a diet but not only they survive, they grow fat. With such digestions they cannot be said to deserve a delicate and carefully chosen ration of modified milk.
 Probably what the Baltimore people mean by @ deserving baby Is a baby whose parents are unable, to buy modi- fled, sterilized or tested milk for it. The better-to-do people and their infants may e-deserving in the civic sense but they are not deserving in the charitable sense Under this Interpretation 1t is plain in Baltimore the well-todo baby. instead of getting things done for him by some sort of organized effort will have to de- pend for them on his own parents-who in nine cases out of ten will no do it. In these matters the dictum of the scrip lures is reversed; it is "to him that hath not shall be given.''
 It is at least satisfactory to know that the Baltimore milk dispensers are not forming their notions of babies deserts along the line of their personal conduct If this were the criterion. we should probably see all the modified milk given to the babies which did not cry for 1t, while those who cried for it. or for any thing else, would not get it.

WAS SUCCESSFUL WEEK.
Interesting and Instructive Lectures
 at University Summer School.

Tuscaloosa, July 15.-( Especially )7-The past week at the summer school of the Uni yersity of Alabama has been most inter- esting as well as instructive. For the past three days Dr. G. R. Glenn, presi- dent of the North Georgia Agricultural college has been delivering three lectures daily. His lectures were principally on the power of teaching and they have proved most beneficial to the large num- ber of teachers. Yesterday afternoon Prof. J. H. Johnson, principal of the state institution for deaf. dumb and blind at Talladega delivere- lecture in Clark hall on the Modern Methods of Educat- ing Defective Children" Mir. Johnson was accompanied by two of his instructors, Miss Enfield Joiner and Miss Henderson, and two blind and two deaf mutes.
 This morning Miss Joiner gave an exhi- bition of teaching the deaf and dumb. while Miss Henderson gave an exhibition of teaching the blind. Their work was exceedingly interesting and was attended by a large number of persons from the cty as well as the summer school stu dents. The services on Sunday are to be conducted by the Rev. J. w. Stagg, pas tor of the First Presbyterian church of Birmingham. Perhaps the most noted lecturer of the school is to be Dr. G. Stanley Hall, president of the Clark uni versity of Worcester, Mass, who is to ar rive Monday and will deliver a series of lectures lasting through Wednesday.

Parker's Running Mate.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
 The newspapers generally speak in very high terms of the Hon. Henry Gassaway Davis of West Virginia, who was named by the democratic convention at St. Louis for vice-president as the running mate of Judge Parker MT. Davis has served in the legislature of West Virginia, has twice been elected United States senator from that state, and has always enjoyed the confidence and respect of his neigh bors. He is said to be worth 80, ,0O0, 600. is president of several railroads and a lot of coal mining, numbering and manufac- turing corporations, not to mention na- tiorfal bank" and he is sound on cur rency and sound in his democracy. He began life as a brakeman on railroad train, and has acquired his large wealth by hard work and fortunate conditions. "The business interests of the country surely cannot feel any trepidation on ac- count of the character of the two great leaders of the democratic party in the present campaign They are both sane and safe men, and in their hands the welfare of all the people of the country would be secure.

:. rom the New York Mall.


 ONE benevolent people in Balti- @N more have established a number - of milk dispensaries, where pure milk, modified" if desirable, will be sup piled to good babies. That, at any rate, is the superficial inference from the print ed announcement of this work, in which trustees to reach the deserving infants with this milk entirely or exclusively through the physicians and dispen- saries of this city" Thus it seems that only the deserving babies are to have pure milk dis pensed to them. The undeserving will simply have to dispense with it.
 The discrimination has already precip- itated a warm discussion in charitable circles. What is an iindeserving baby? The editor of Charities earnestly con- tends that there cannot be any such thing, any more than there could be ian immoral puppy" But is not this compar- ison unfortunate? Everybody knows that there are immoral puppies. It follows as logical sequence that there must be undeserving babies.
 There are babies that beyond doubt are totally undeserving of modified milk, at least. They are the infants who not only consume the worst kind of cows milk containing all known species of germs without the slightest harm to themselves,

of the change which has sprung up under the Dingley tariff and the re- publican party. Every necessary of life will soon be handled by trust, and when the trusts are combined into one trust the logical limit will be reached, and competition will be dead. The small industry and the small mer- chant will no longer exist, and the opportunity of the young man start ing at the foot of the ladder will be small indeed-as small in fact as it is in countries across the sea, where 1t is down to zero.
 The chief glory of this country has been the equal chance 1t afforded to all young men starting out in life. The trusts will soon take away that op- portunity, for they will soon, as things are going under republican presidents, destroy all opportunity to the small competitor. The giants in the various industries and lines of trade will soon control the field, and the beginners will be frozen out. The old republic with it's equal and manifold opportuni- ties is passing down the pike.

No Yellow Fever.

It is gratifying to know that yellow fever has been suppressed both in Havana and along the Mexican bor- der. Mexico and the United States have co-operated in the work along the Rio Grande, and Dr. Wyman, sur geon general of the Marine hospital service. announces that there is now no fever in Texas or in the adjacent districts of Mexico. True, August and September are the fever months, but July is apt to show signs of an out break, and none are now apparent.
 The work Cf the two republics on either side of the Rio Grande was chiefly directed against the germ bearing mosquito. The people were induced to abolish the pestilent water barrels, which breed in night more mosquitos than can be counted, or even estimated, and all swamps were treated with oil. Not only has the fever been driven out of Laredo, Tex, but the Laredons now sleep without the use of mosquito netting, something once deemed impossible in that dis trict and town
 Our outposts are well guarded and Dr. Wyman says there is no reason why yellow fever cannot be driven out of North America if people can be in- duced to abolish breeding places for the pestilent and dangerous mosquito, the chief disseminator of fever germs, perhaps the only disseminator of such germs. No plan of campaign against the appearance of yellow fever is val uable that does not include an attack upon the mosquito. What is true of yellow fever is true of all other dis eases, for the mosquito can pick up one germ as well as another, and can place ony one of them in the veins of the first person It attacks.

Judoe Parker.

From the Washington Star Republican,.
 The democratic nominee for the presi- dency is a gentleman of ability, of ire proachable character, and worty citizen in the best sense of the word. All things considered, he was easily the strongest man. bar none, who figured in the specu- .lation about the St Louis prize. His party puts it's best foot foremost therefore in calling him to it's leadership. It acted in the premises not only wisely, but logical ly. It responded to the new combination effected by the east and the south. New York, being necessary to democratic sue cess, was asked to name the man best assured of victory at the polls, and it named Judge Parker. The south accepted him. and he is now the candidate. On personal grounds no criticism lies. As man and citizen he is as far above re- proach as Mir Roosevelt. and that insures a campaign where the principles of the two parties win bear the weight of the discussion.

The Restored South.

From the Richmond Times Dispatch
 After long struggle or more properly speaking, series of struggles extending over a period of fifty years, the states manship conservatism and safe and sane judgment of southerners again comes to the front as a powerful safeguard to the country This influence was sho~n in the proceedings of the recent democratic con- vention at St. Louis. There the represent tatives of the south no longer embar- rassed and handicapped by the threat of negro domination went to the front and led those who united to present to the country a worthy ticket on a safe plat form.
 The representatives from the southern states had gone up to the convention with a fixed determination to do the right thang at the right time, to perform a patriotic duty, coolly, calmly and with judgment, and the nomination of Alton B. Parker was mainly due to the good iudgment sound sense and unfiinching patriotism of the southern representation in that great convention. Then when the real contest came; when Judge Par ker's now famous telegram was read to the convention. it was -Southern conserva- tism and statesmanship that solidly re- sisted the effort which was made to de- moralize the party and throw it into tur- moil and chaos.

Reelection of General DIaz.

An old man, 74 years old, has just been elected, so to speak, president of Mexico, to serve term of six years. But he will never do 1t, for his health and strength are failing. Ramon Cor rol, his frienu and supporter, has been elected vice-president, and he is ex- pectgN to continue the Diaz policy after Diaz drops out.
 Let no one think, however, that Diaz was elected at all in the Amer ican sense of the word. In Latin re- publics elections do not express the will of the people, but of the admins tration. A real election, free, just and impartial, was never held in Latin republic.
 Diaz was first elected president in 1876 to serve a term of four years. At that time a Mexican president could not be his own successor, and Gonzales, his friend, served from 1880
 
 to 1884. In the meantime the consti- tuition had been changed, and man can now serve in the chief executive office indefinitely, and the presidential term was heightened to six years. In 1884 General Diaz became president again, and he has served his country ever since in that capacity. He is in truth dictator at the head of a mon archy, and he is alert enough to keep down all opposition. He has estab- lished the supremacy of the law, has rendered life and property secure, and has ushered in prosperity and progress to an extent once believed to be inn possible He is in short great man.
 But when the man of foresight and iron is gone, will Mexico be peaceful and progressive? This Is problem that time alone can solve. Diaz did all he could except to hold free cleo tions. He never had faith in the mass of the people, or in republicanism, and when he is gone Mexico may lapse into her former turbulent condition.

Female View of Convention.

Two ladies on an East Lake trolley car were discussing the democratic eonVeh- ton at St. Louis One of them had been present during the proceedings and was telling her friend all about it. It was the most interesting sight l ever witnessed she said enthusiastically and when MT. Hill nominated Judge Parker came very near crying out before all those people. guess there must have been several thousand and the place was awful not. I inst went there 10 see some Of the big men 1 had been reading about in the papers, but l was disappointed. Several were too fat and the others too thin MT. Williams of Mississippi was there. think he is one of the homeliest men l ever saw, but he made d fine speech. It lasted nearly two hours. He spoke longer than anybody else in the convention and 1 thought him very eloquent.
 q saw Mr. Bryan at the convention. He looked very tired and l felt sorry for him when Jack told me that the poli- ticians were going to swamp him. l waited to see what they were going to do but Mr Bryan got lots of applause and didn't see him bolt. l applauded my self but l don't suppose he heard me. MT. Hobson spoke He is a nice looking young man and everybody eheered him.
 T got very tired of listening to so much talk, especially when they were making the platform. l don't see what they want to have a platform for, any way, so long as they have two nice men like Judge Parker and MT. Davis as candidates. l was very sorry that MT. Parker was not present. l wanted to see how he looked. They say he is devoted family man.
 "Rut 1 certainly was glad when it was all over I just staid for the experience. although half the time 1 could not hear and I chatted with several friends who were with me. It seems to be that there was q lot of fuss and feathers to ac- oompish so little.'

offcerssTour.


 w. J. Murphy of Cincinnati. vice pres ident of the Queen and Crescent spent yes terday afternoon in Birmingham and left at night for home. He had made a leisurely tour over his line from Cincinnati to Meridian and expressed himself as greatly pleased with conditions all along the route. The roads composing the Queen and Crescent including the Alabama Great Southern. are in excellent shape and the outlook for traffic was never perhaps so bright.
 The crops on our line are unusually large this year" said Mr. Murphy. We will have to haul 75.0000 bales of cotton which is more than was ever made before in the section traversed by the Alabama Great Southern.
 My trip this week has been revela- ton to me. I met one man in Alabama who had cleared SG00o on forty acres in strawberries. I met another man who had made a snug fortune on his hay crop These are only fair examples of what IS being done in this state. The trucking ln- dustry is increasing steadily and the best of it is. small farming in the south is yet in it's infancy.
 Not only is the cotton crop in splendid condition but the corn crop in the cotton belt is unprecedently large and 1t is now in prime condition. This will indeed be q record year for the southern farmers.
 Here in the Birmingham district ind important developments. l visited the steel plant at Ensley and witnessed with much interest the large operations there Rails all the way from 60 pounds to ID pounds are being turned out and l was glad to learn that the Tennessee company has now orders enough to keep the steel plant going until next spring A man 1hat visits the country tributary to the queen and Crescent cannot help being optimis-
