 Before doing any successful work 1t is first necessary for me to do certain amount of reading" remarked a literary parsonage. T don't mean to say that I have to wait for an inspiration, since the man who fingers to be inspired is apt to accomplish nothing, but do say that the mind must be prepared for writing | just as the athlete trains his body for a contest of strength and endurance. For instance, several months before I att tempt an ambitious story put in seven or eight hours a day of reading and meditation. I find that by choosing the books which appeal most to my inagina- ton my brain is rendered active, my faculties for romance are quickened. I become. as it were, saturated with the atmosphere of unreality and fiction un- til my brain seethes with ideas. It is only when a mans mind is frightened by the masterpieces of others that he is most apt to accomplish a bit of fiction worth while. I am quite sure that K.

Remarkable Business.

"This has been a remarkable summer for Birmingham,' said railroad man yesterday. Business has remained good all summer with the railroads runfong into Birmingham, and am told by repre- sentatives of several of the roads that freight business has shown healthy increase.
 'Early in the summer I thought that business would get very light during the heated term, but I was bad judge. The movement of coal deceived me more than any other one thing. It remained heavy all summer even with the yellow fever, which I thought would certainly hurt the movement of coal to the south and southwest.
 q hope that I will not be as bad a prophet when 1 predict that the railroad business this fall and winter will be the largest Alabama has ever known"

"One of my greatest pleasures Is de- rived from the city show windows" said a man who is easily satisfied. Although I have not the means to purchase brie-a- brac, tapestries and works of art, I can enjoy all these treasures through the medium of the department store show windows. The displays put out by the art stores are never failing source of delight to me. Every day I look for new pictuhes or else admire old ones which have struck my fancy. A few minutes inspection of book exhibit will impart the proper literary atmos- phere and the windows of jewelry stores afford keen delight in gazing on dia- monds, gems and the best examples of the jewellers art. There is an ever-present fascination in shop windows. They both instruct and amuse. They have taught me that there are many apparently trivial and inexpensive pleasures that one can enjoy if he will just take the time"

 ernor I shall endeavor to wholely sep

 County Convict System.
 The county convict system is a dis-
 grace to the state and should be abol- ished. I favor its abolition and to pro- vide for the protection of the fine and
 forfeiture fund of the several counties of the state; that 30 per cent of the net
 revenue derived from the whole convict
 system to be returned to the counties
 in accordance with the earnings of the
 convicts from the several counties. to be placed to the credit of the fine and for feiture fund. If this is done all the court officers will receive their costs in full, and in a short time the deficit in the fine and forefeiture fund of the sev- eral counties would be abolished and witnesses could be paid in cash instead of scrip, which scrip is now bought up by scalpers. What has been done for the state convicts can be and ought to
 be done for those who are sentenced to hard labor for the county.
 There are many other matters of in- portance, but it is impossible to discuss them all in one address. nor is it possi- ble to discuss fully the policy that should be adopted in the dlScharge or all or the duties of the executive. I desire. how ever, to call attention to some of them. official Appointments.
 In the filling of offices required by law to be filled by executive appointment, I would try to select one of my friends who Is in every way worthy and we'll qualified to discharge the duties of the offce to the credit of the appointing, to his own honor and to the satisfaction of l the people.

OWEN TO BUY LANDS
Report that He Takes Vast Tracts
from ). T. Gates Co. in
Rusk County.

The following dispatch to the Mime
apolis Journal will be of interest to
Rusk county people:
Chippewa Falls, Wis. John S. Owen
of Eau Claire has great faith in the
future of northern Wisconsin. He is
today one of the largest individual land
owners in this section, and by the way
he is branching out he will in a short
time be the largest land owner in Wis
consin.
In the next thirty days he will close
a deal with James Gates for large hold
ings in Rusk and Chippewa counties; in
fact, it is understood that Mr.. Gates
has arranged to let go about half of his
holdings. A large part of the land is
along the line of the Wisconsin Central
on the branch that is being built from
Owen to Duluth.
With John Owen and James Gates
both pushing the great resources of
northern Wisconsin, it is only matter
of a short time until the wild lands will
be sought after by farmers in the
southern part OF the state. In discuss
ing the future of northern Wisconsin
lands, especially those of Chippewa
county, Mr.. Owen holds that the culti-
walton of tobacco alone is destined to
make the farmers rich.

HOW Chippewa GREW
A. J. McGillivray of Chippewa Falls
Mentions Thing or

A. j. McGillivray of Chippewa Falls
was in the city Thursday after having
spent few days in the eastern part
of the county.
Speaking of the growth of Lady
smith reminded Mr.. McGillivray that
his town has "taken on nearly two
thousand people in the last five years.
In the five proceeding years that city
had lost some in population, and an
industrial league was formed to remedy
matters. They pushed ON the wheel
and new industries were secured.
They got shoe factory and then
another and another and another
four before they stopped along that
line. They secured glove factory
and sash and door factory. They
acquired canning factory and then,
the biggest Of them all, a sugar fac
tory Other institutions came along
in the procession and in these five
years deficit of population was 'curn-
eu INTO surplus.
Five years ago Chippewa Ealls was
considered dying town and small boys
were practicing on desirable epitaphs;.
but they have quit simply bu;ause the
people had got together and pulled for
the good of the town.
Here is an object lesson. Ladysmith
people should be up and doing. The
public should be advised of the advan-
tages here and a well organized force
should ''let no desirable man escape. !"
This is the way towns are built. With
out this our city has gained handsome
proportions with it we will go for
ward with renewed energy.

WHERE is The PARK?
Tt Appears to Have Been Lost From
Sight.

Long ago, before Ladysmith was half
its present size, there was talk about
the necessity of securing ground for at
least one public park. At that time
there was even an effort made to organ
ize for the accomplishment Of this very
laudable purpose. But the plan was
never carried into effectiveness and We
are yet without the plat, if we have not
entirely forgotten that in the future
prices will be higher, even if the desir-
able locations are not appropriated to
other uses. Why not now take this
matter up and consider the whole sub
ject with view to an early start along
this line. All cities need parks. Most
cities are too slow in securing them.
The situation just now does t cry very
loud for such improvement, but now is
certainly good time to look into the
the future and consider where they
should be, and, probably, to secure
ground for them. Improvement of such
sites can await the necessities therefor.

RECKLESS CYCLING.
Tine That It Should Be Suppressed
TIoy,a


Ladys1nith bicycle riders would do
well to bear in mind that there is an
ordinance prohibiting riding on the
walks. This ordinance has been
ineffective thus far from the fact
that no one wishes to enforce it
unless necessary to the safety Of
pedestrians. Bat there is limit
where forebearance ceases to be a
virtue in this as well as in other
matters and wheelmen VIII do well
to be more moderate than in the
recent past in this respect.
The matter lies with the wheel
men and those who wish the ,privi-
lege Of using the walks will serve
their own purposes by lending aid
in stopping reckless riding. Of late
children unskilled in the manage
snent of wheels have been riding
on the walks and several narrow
escapes from accident have occurr-
ed.
Since the above was put in tyna an
order has been issued stopping all
bicycle riding on the walks. The eau
ton advised in the above article would
have avoided this measure.
