Good Spirit Shown.

From the Mobile Register.
 The recent municipal election in Bir- mingham was not decisive in its re- suits, the leading candidate failing to receive a vote superior to that received by the several other candidates. sec ond contest was then in order between the two candidates who received the highest number of votes. but the making of this contest has been avoided by the withdrawal of the one who received the next to the greatest number of votes This action has created a very good im- pression, showing that there is a disposi- tion in Birmingham to unite in sup porting the new administration and do whatever is advantageous to the city's interest

Field sportsmen Busy.

Hunting seems to be more popular this season than for many years past" said a sportsman last night.
 Hunters seem encouraged. At any rate they try oftener for I learn that more shells are being sold than usual On Thanksgiving Day something like one hundred guns were rented out by one Birmingham merchant, and more could have been rented had they been in stock. Since most hunters own their guns. suppose the birds that escaped had much to be thankful for.'

From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 N N optician in Chicago has pro- P pounded to the Minnesota State
 Association of Optometrists the startling but extremely comforting theory that drunkenness may be cured by wear ing the proper kind of eyeglasses. We wish he had not complicated his state ment and placed a further tax upon the credulity of the skeptical by saying that by the same method consumption may also be cured. It Is the usual mistake of great diseoverers that they claim too much.
 It has been noticed that the general entr' acte exodus at theatres of all who are not so effectually hemmed in that escape is impossible is prompted by a thirst so insistent that it will not be treated with the silent contempt which
 is said to be so effective in cases of toothache. During the half hour preced- ing such exodus the young men who thirst have been straining their eyes in blinding glare of light to distinguish the natural charms which are obscured, if not concealed, by grease paint and cos metics. It is this effort to focus the vls- ion which does the mischief. The strain on the brain centre robs other portions of the body of their just proportion of energy, causing nervous irritability, which is especially evidenced by a strong cray ing for alcohol. To persons thus uncon- sciously betrayed by their physical in- frmities into excessive alcoholic stimula- tion the Chicago specialist fits Hogs and take away the power to focalize and nullify the tendency to convergence."

 Alabama is underrated by those who go broke on an all-cotton policy and emi- grate to some other state, where a ma Jority of them accumulate only costly experience, when if the same energy had been expended in the cultivation of judi eiously diversified crops on Alabama soil the results would have been anything but diseouraging.

When the President Comes.

|
 The suggestion that President Roosevelt will make a tour of the south early next spring has prompted many expressions of a hearty desire that he will do so, and a warm south ern welcome is already assured him.
 Birmingham will, of course, extend to the President a strong, cordial and altogether consistent invitation that that this community may have an op- portunity of showing it's respect to the head of the nation, and also of pre- senting to President Roosevelt a gen uine southern object lesson. He is not too old to see, not too perverse to believe and not lacking in patriotic appreciation of what we are doing in this part of the great country over which he presides.
 Of all the Presidents of these Un- ited States up to this time only one has honored Birmingham with a visit. That one was a republican. Presi- dent Harrison came to see us in 1891. His reception was most cordial. The whole community, men, women and children, of both races and of all creeds, turned out en masse and shout ed to that President royal welcome. As the train bearing MT. Harrison and his distinguished party rolled into the station here the whistles of a thous- and workshops joined with the popu- lace in round of real welcome and applause. Bunting was in evidence on public and private buildings, and the stars and stripes greeted the eye of the President on every side There was no room for him to doubt the American spirit which dwells in Bir- mingham-nothing to mar the cor diality of the greeting. That was gala day, and it was a history making day in this state The function was social; it was patriotic. It was worthy of the effort of our people to make warm and generous tie reception It was received by President Harrison in spirit of appreciation.
 And just such another day will come when President Roosevelt reaches Birmingham. He will find the gates wide open. He will lind no fawning in these parts, and he will learn that southern people rejoice to do honor to the President of these United States, and that their ardor and pa- triotic spirit are not dismayed by the smoke of political differences.
 President Roosevelt will find in this section no todying to an individual in power. He will find no bending of the knee in prayer for special fayors, but he will find that the people of Ala bama are .ull of patriotism and are ever ready to welcome with hearty salute the coming among them of the chief executive of a nation of which they form a most important part and to which they are ever loyal.
