 There is no sense in attempting to ar gue that a hatchet-faced man looks well in a wide-brim hat or a moor-faced man in a dinky little derby with llar- row brim. Also men with large ears must acknowledge that they ought to select their lids with a view to mini mixing their deformity. Having reach- ed this point. the next thing to consider is the work of education that must be gin at once for the wiping out of this evil that printers would call wrong font" hats. Municipal ownership, rate regulation, foreign missions the social evil and Tom Lawson fade away into insignificance when compared with this important reform.

Almost as many peo- pie meet death in fires in this country The report of the Society quoted above gives some more graphic statements; one of which Is that we have burned property in six years, and that for this loss the output of all our iron mines would just suffice to pay; our total gold output would pay for about one- on us.

In lengthy editorial of The Atlanta Constitution of yesterday. it is stated that
 Georgia accomplished years ago. by the adoption of her white Democratic primary, everything that has since been accomplished in North Carolina or any other of these States.
 In Georgia no white man Is sdis- franchised under the prevailing pri- mary system, though thousands of white men would be disfranchised by the educational test which Mir. Smith is advocating. In Georgia the negro is now, and has been for many years, ab- soiutely shorn of political power, and honestly.
 Now Is 1t not better statement that Georgia's requirement of taxes before voting secured the immunity from negro voting menace which it now en- joys. The white Democratic primary does settle the dispute as to who shall be the candidates of the party. but the tax laws keep thousands upon thous- ands of negroes away from the polls. As things now stand in GeorgiS, a dis franchising movement is unnecessary and uncalfed for.

sounNAr.rsrrc NOTES.

The issue of The Mobile Item of the Band inst. was in celebration of its eighth anniversary as a daily. It was published many years as a weekly before becoming a daily, and always under tie guiding hand of Capt. J. F. Cothran. For half century he has beeh identified with printing offices. having com- menced to work in them when quite a youth. His friends of olden and pres ent days will rejoice at the evident prosperity of The Item. in which he is so largely interested. The eighth anni- yersary edition was q notable one in many ways. It contained 76 pages, all of which were well filled. There were many fine illustrations of Mobile and her business interests, and a great deal of valuable historical matter. Con- gratulations for The Item are certainly in order.
 The Advertiser noted with regret the death of Joseph J. Weatherly a few days ago at his home in Mobile. He was connected with the editorial de- pertinent of The Mobile Register and had in many ways demonstrated his ability. He was highly esteemed by his associates of The Register and all his brethren of the local press paid high tribute to his ability and splendid character.

 The Dothan Siftings has just entered upon it's third volume as a daily, and promises greater things for the future. It was a bold proposition of it's owners to establish daily paper in 8 place of the size of Dothan. and they are to be congratulated upon the headway they have made. They say: We will go on two years more, and by that time. Dothan will have eight or ten Thousand people, which large popula- tion win demand that The siftings take of her swaddling clothing and launch out into the newspaper field, a fuil-fiedged daily, with Associated Press news and all other State and national news---a newspaper that will cover the field"

Litigation Was Dismissed.

That was a mistaken impression in the report about the case of the Mont gomery Traction Company against the County Board of Revenue the other day." said a citizen yesterday, who Is familiar with the history of the litiga- tion. "The decision handed down by the Supreme Court did not remand the case to the Chancellor for another trial. but put an end to the litigation itself. The Chancellor had issued a perpetual injunction, or rather made the original injunction perpetual against the board to prevent tearing up the tracks on the Perry Street line. and the Supreme Court reversed the decree, holding that 1t was an error to overrule the motion to dismiss the case. The Supreme Court simply held for a second time that the case was mooted one and should have been dismissed by the Chancellor"
