The President and cashier of the bursted oberlin National Bank admit that they endorsed that somewhat fa- nous Chadwick-Carnegie note. but did 1t on the express condition and under standing that 1t was not to be dls- counted. This adds another to the nom understandable features of this busi- ness. Did these bank officials endorse that note and thus jeopardfze the stand ing of the institution merely for fun, or because they thought their names were an ornament to 1t? If that is the best excuse they can put up. 1t would become them to play silent.

Governor Vardaman of Mississippi may justly be accused of saying some very unnecessary things. but he must be given credit for his efforts to rigidiy enforce the law. No executive has shown more determined opposition to mob law. and he is sauarely behind, the movement for. suppressing the white cappers who have done so much towards damoralisinG the labor of the State.

Sidewalk Pencilings
Mt. sr.rphy,s Able Article.

Tt is a great pity that Mr. Edgar Gardner Murphy will not consent to the publication of his paper, on the en- forcement of the Fourteenth Amend ment," remarked one of those who was invited to the Carnegie Library assem- bly room last night to hear it read 1T do not hesitate" he continued. ito pronounce 1t the ablest thing of a po- litical character that I ever heard; It would do good if 1t could be read by thousands North and South. There are many hot heads who would be beneited by hearing such an able presentation or the whole question. His argument ' against the enforcement of the article Is absolutely conclusive. and l believe if 1t could be heard in Congress 1t would stop the talk of Crumpacker anu Platt billie.

MILLIONS OF EGGS.

The esteemed Secretary of Agricul- ture has been figuring on the hen prod uct of the United States, and he finds that they produce something over thir- ty-two million dozen eggs each week, 1 or above one million dozen per day, 1 Sundays and legal holidays included. An industrious and well-drilled hen rarely takes a day of. but keeps up a steady daily lick. What becomes of all of them? Ask an easy one. All we know is that the utmost efforts of the hens don't seem 10 bring the price down any. That keeps up. no matter how industrious the hens show them selves. or how closely they stick to business.
 But what do these high prices prove? Simply and undeniably that the supply. enormous as 1t sounds in figures, is not equal to the demand. Eggs are always ! high at this season of the year. but when have they really been otherwise in any of the large cities? Has there been time this year in Montgomery, for example, when they could really be called cheap? Out in the remote rural districts. wheere there is little demand and virtually no market. they sell for low prices. but not in the cities. There the demand is always good. and the prices what may properly be called | high.
 But there is another lesson equally patent and equally important, and that is that there Is money in chickens. even the plain. old-fashioned kind. If they are good layers and good breeders, and produce healthy chickens of good taste for the table. there's profit in them
 Fine fowls and fine eggs may bring fancy prices. but the common breed are money producers. beyond a doubt. And we doubt if any portion of the Union IS better suited to the industry than is much of Alabama. We can conceive of no reason why they may not be rais- ed here with profit, and the prices now ruling in the cities prove it. As The | Birmingham Ledger puts it:
 There is room and money for fancy fowls, but there is more room and more money for the regular business of sup plying the towns with eggs, fowls and feathers It is a business that women can follow as well as men, and it is more certain than many of the lines of work that give wages and take health. Each such farm will earn more than 10 per cent year in the mere growth tn An.1 N@

Ice Skating Kinks.

"1n looking over the papers of many Southern cities" said a citizen of Mont gomery yesterday. T noticed advertise ments of ice skating rinks and the hours that the rinks are kept open to pleasure seekers. I wonder if such thing would not pay in Montgomery?
 T don't think Montgomery is too small city to support throughout the winter an amusement enterprise of that sort. and I would like to see some en- terprisfng citizen build one here.
 T was born in New York State. up near the Canadian line, and lived there all of my younger days. Why, a boy down here doesn't know what fun Is until he skates on ice. I have skated down rivers frozen hard as a rock for a distance of ten miles and returned in the course of an hour or so. It Is the nearest thing to the sensation imagine flying would give, and certainly the greatest sport in the world
 Montgomery is fast becoming a modern, enetropolitan city. and think we ought to have an ice skating rink for our young people.
 The rinks down here are, of course, made of artificial Ice ana are not very expensive"

Governor to Speak Today.

Acting Governor Cunningham left last night to deliver the oration at the unveiling of the Davis statue in Blr- mingham today" said an admirer of pr. W. E. B. Davis and an acquaintance. T think no more appropriate selection could have been made than this.
 Tn two capacities. the Governor IS eminently fitted to deliver that oration. He will be speaking the esteem of the State, as the present Executive. and IS. as is wel1-known, a scientific physl- clan who enjoyed very lucrative prac- tice before he was called to fill the va carcy of the Governors chair. pr :. Cunningham was a friend of Dr. Davis and was associated with him in some O. the surgical researches in Birmingham. :.
 Dr. Davis was at one time President of the Southern Surgical and Gyneco- logical Society, under whose auspices the statue will be unveiled today.
 'Governor Cunningham, soon after the death of -Dr. Davis, delivered an eloquent eulogy to the memory Of pr Davis, when resolutions were adopted by the Jefferson County Medical Soci- ety. of which the famous surgeon was leading member"
