Wonderful October.

Before the forests and the hillsldes and the hilltops lose the glory Of fol- iage-before the trees stand bare and naked under uninviting skies-nature decks them in her choicest colors. Whoever goes afeld sees now tints that no painter can initiate. me sweetgum becomes a wonderful study in yelows and reds, and the other trees are close up to it. The water seems to ripple more sweetly in Oeto- Der than in any other month, and then covering and enveloping all is hay air that is peculiarly October's own a haze that seems to fit the season and that is a tonic in itself.
 One should not stay indoors in Oc- tober. whatever he or she may do in other months. There are masses or purple and gold and bronze at every nand, ana WHO cdH ieoioe 'io "N'N '" get from nature it's parting glory? It is not possible to overlook 1t, for 1t is on every hand but the busy man can not get it in town. where dust and soot and the effects of population over lay and hide natures best efforts. Go out along the country lanes, into the forests that grow of their own ac- cord. There is where the glory of Oc- tober is manifest, and the lover of beauty should not stand on the order of his going. He should go out daily into the mellow air of the mellowest month of the entire year.

Young Men Derellct.

Alabama" said Capt. Frank P. O'Brien yesterday, lis largely In the hands of old men. It came in my way to count one registration list and found by count that just about 33 per cent of the registered vote consists of men over 45 years of age.
 ''I regret very much that so many young men are neglecting to pay poll taxes, and are thus refusing to take part in public affairs. A state in which young men turn from public business is not a happy state. Such condition is unfor- tunate, and regret to say that a cumu- lative poll tax is pulling in that direc- ton. If the cumulative feature were re- pealed the evil would not be so serious, but as things are going we will soon have very large number of white citi- zens, excellent men in private life, who do not vote and who cannot vote except by the payment of considerable sum-a dollar and half for every delnauent year.

Our Appreachiru Fair.

The Fair association has expended a goodly sum of money to erect build- ings and to put it's ample grounds in good condition, and the result will be a surprise to many people. It rests now with the people and with exhib- itors to make the fair a credit to the city and the state.
 The association had ample funds to begin with, and it has worked untir- ingly to spend that money judiciously. The fair will be opened on October 23, and the weather at that time of the year is ordinarily dry and bracing. It is nine times out of ten excellent out door weather, and an outing at the State fair will no doubt be indulged in by thousands from all parts of the state.
 No such preparations have ever be- fore been possible in this state, for no fair association has had the capital at command that the fair of this year has had the advantage of If the fair is a failure it will be because the peo- pie of Alabama do not do their duty, and The Age-Herald anticipates no such result.

RACE IN ALABAMA.

From the Washington Post.
 'The coming gubernatoriaI campaign in Alabama will hinge on the railway rats question:" said MT. J. Motion Smith. a merchant of Birmingham, at the New Willard. "The preliminary maneuvering has already begun, though the primary will not come until next summer. Lielften- ant Governor Cunningham, who resides in Birmingham is one of the candidates. He is doctor and will run on a platform of allegiance to the rate policy of Presi- dent Roosevelt. On the other hand, B. B. Conner, big cotton mill man. will ad- vocate an even more radical policy. He is now president of the state railway com mission. Alabama has done as much as any other state in the way of rates, and MT. Conner stands on the record of what he has accomplished. Dr. Cunningham has been making his plea on the ground of his record. but I am afraid his record in the way of rate activity is rather insig- nificant Anyhow, the campaign will be fought out on the issue Of who has the best record on the rate-legislation prob lem"

Should Decorate.

Il think every house in Birmingham should be decorated in honor of the Pres ldents visit said a visitor last night. 'Blazlng lights and waving bunting should blend harmoniously with the strains of music that will precede him to the square in which I understand he will make his first speech. There is nothing. like first impressions and I am quite sure that the President is as anxious to see Birmingham as the people are for him to visit your city. By extensive dec orating the city will present magnificent appearance and the President will prob- ably say,'as his train speeds on to the next stopping place, The half had not been told me about Birmingham.
 'If I were mayor of this city I would call on all the people to make the day a semi-holiday. By doing this the man in the factory. store and workshop will be enabled to see the President, a privilege that every one likes to boast about. I would also urge all the school children to take advantage of the oppor- tunity of seeing the man whose shoes some of them may feel like they can fill some of these days. It is no small thing for boy, to say nothing of man, being able to say he saw such and such a President.
 T feel like hanging my head when I make the confession that I have travelled the country over and have never yet had the privilege of seeing the first man of tn nation. am going to see Roosevelt if have to come back to Birmingham"

The Cotton Fight.

"The big fight is on," said cotton broker of First avenue yesterday, and 1t will be hot It will become hotter daily, but in two weeks the contest will be decided one way or the other.
 Low middlng is now worth amid the cotton fields less than 10 cents, but more than 9 cents. The drop below 10 cents Is creating a mild revolution In towns like Rome Ga, where the farmers who had brought ia cotton formed a parade, car rying placards declaring 10 cents the bottom price, and then they carried their cotton back to the farm. In Montgom- cry on Friday the farmers refused to accept 9N cents. Not a man was willing to accept less and there were 500 bales in Court square, Finally warehousemen offered to take all the bales and advance $40 bales on it. It will be held for 10 cents. few hauled their cotton back home, but nearly all accepted the terms of the warehousemen. Not a man accept ed the market price-not one.
 ''Harvie Jordan says the fight can be whipped in ten days if the farmers will stand together, and it begins to look as if they would. It is battle for millions tens of millions for that matter. One cent a pound is fifty million dollars in the entire south.'

Emusements and Fever.

The yellow scourge disorganizes not only the business, but also the amuse- ments, of the people. Already Ethel Barrymore May Irwin and Schumann- Heink have cancelled their engage ments in the south, and no doubt many other leading players will be taken off the southern circuit. Man agers of large and expensive compa- nies will not encounter quarantine reg ulations if they can find additional towns in which to play.
 New Orleans is the heart, the turn ing point, the haven of rest, of south- ern amusements, and while it is elim- mated this section must be content to suffer in the theatrical way. The best will be cut out, until entrance and exit become free and wide open at New Orleans. Even Atlanta's high-grade amusements are dependent upon New Orleans, and Atlanta considers itself the hub of the south.
 It is not easy to say when all quar- antines will be lifted. Killing frosts are not expected in New Orleans until quite late in December. Perhaps after Christmas the amusement season in this section will regain it's yigor and quality, for after the great festival Of the year there will be no fever in the country and, therefore, no quarantines. Amusement managers doubtless know this, and they have no doubt rear ranged their routes accordingly.

Planning at Library.

An effort Is being made to induce the county and the city each to pledge itself to give s50OO year for the sup port of public library big enough to serve both. Cases of books could be sent out to each school district month ly, and the entire county could thus be we'll served from large, well con ducted central library.
 It is, of course, expected that An drew Carnegie will build $lOo,0o0 library. provided he secures a pledge of ten per cent of the donation for its maintenance and growth. The scheme is wholly feasible, provided the city can afford to do its share.
 In the building of a city in Jones valley preparation has been made for churches, schools, hospitals and other needful things except free public horary. A free public library is a needful part of every city. We must indeed have one in order to have modern city. The proposed plan is no doubt the least expensive that the case admits of, and the question arises, is it not best to accept it, there- by letting the present generation get its benefits? This is practical ques- tion, and practical men should give 1t due consideration. It should not be summarily dismissed. The city is not forehanded, but Mayor Ward may be skillful enough to hew out saving that will justify the city in securing that splendid popular adjunct which furnishes books without cost to all.

Liuhts in Capitol Park,

President Roosevelt cannot even un- der favoring arrival circumstances reach the stand in Capitol park before 3 o'clock of the afternoon of the day of his visit to this city At that hour of the day, late in October, the shades of night are falling fast. It therefore behooves Major Anderson's reception committee to provide abundant lights of the best quality at the place where the people are to meet the President face to face and hear him speak, The arc light is not the best possible light because it is inconstant and a great developer of shadows. An abundance of gas lights or shaded incandescent lights would best enable the people to see their famous President.
 The desire of the people to see the man that made peace possible in the Far East--the man of superb courage and of democratic taste-is the chief thing to be considered. and the suc- cess of the brief visit will turn upon the number and excellence of the lights placed on the stand in Capitol park when the President speaks in this city,

HEINZE'S SLICK TRICK.
How Copper Maenate Got a Bond for
 $70o,o0o

From Tom Watsons Magazine.
 When Clark needed Heinze's political support in his fight for the senatorship he went on Heinze's bond for s10O0.000 in a suit that the Butte and Boston com- pany had brought against Heinze. When Clark made his alliance with the Amal- gamated he went before the supreme court and asked permission to remove his name from the bond which request the supreme court denied. shortly after ward a suit was commenced against Heinze in the supreme court in which he was obliged to furnish a bond of s700,0O Clark was able, by his influence, to pre- vent HeinZe from getting any Montana men to furnish this bond.
 Great was the joy in the Amalgamated camp that night. The System believed that Heinze could not possibly get bond for such an immense sum, and, as Heinze's policy of expansion had involved every dollar of his available capital, they stood back with joyous hearts to await the crash The court would order his mines closed, his sme1ter would shut down, his bank collapse and Henze would walk out of Butte dead broke. To the amazement of the System Heinze walked into the supreme court the next morning and filed a bond for $700,O00, given by the Wilmington CDelaware) Bonding and Casualty company, and decorated with the big golden seal of the state of Delaware. Four months later, when Henze had gotten out of his tight place and was once more on Easy Street, the anger Of the System" can be imagined when they learned how they had been tricked. A month before Clark betrayed Henze in the supreme court, Heinze, who was watching for signs and sensed what was coming. walked into his office into a towering rage one day and summarily discharged five of his clerks and book keepers. They disappeared with s25,000 of Henzes money, but speedily arrived in Wilmington, Del, where they opened magnificent offices and applied to the proper authorities for the right to do business. This was granted, but all the business they ever did was to send a beautiful bond, a triumph of the engrav- CTS art, to their employer when he tel egraphed for it. The supreme court called Heinze into its august presence and lec- tured him severely. Heinze listened grave ly, though there are people who say that he had a cat-that-swallowed-the look in his eyes while the venerable turist was speaking.

1.-THE VOCABULARY CORPS"
Work and Rewards of "Free-Lance"
 Writers.

Gilson Willets tells, In the Worlds Work, what 1t means to earn ones liv- ing by writing:
 A free lance' is an unsalaried writer, whether he be journalistic hack or another Victor Hugo. Free Lance" means free to starve if one does not feel like work ing; free to smoke an execrable pipe in ones own workshop; free to walk in the woods day or week; free to rove the earth. the rover paying his bills out of an income derived from words. l know of a honeymoon on the Mediterranean, three expensive, happy months, paid for out of the Vocabulary Fund. Above all, free lance" means to go and write where every prospect pleases. There was furnished house for the season" in a Garden of Eden in St. Johns Wood. London. in spring; and one winter in the Riviera there was stone nest in par adise of palms. What workshops can be paid for at cent and half a word! Once l received an order for a series of articles that would require all June and July to write. To Montauk, then, on the outer reach of Long Island. a hundred miles at sea, I took my notes and my typewriter. There was d good inn not far from the lighthouse, and there l had board and lodging. But 1t was not the inn that completed the idealism of Montauk station on the great white beach. That little station became my workshop, for 1t was not used in summer by the life savers. It stood so close to the ocean that sometimes the Atlantic washed my doorstep. And at noon. sitting on drift logs on the sands, l lunched from a full dinner pail and drank coffee from its tin top-a day laborer making living by writing where man had not marked the earth with ruin.
 The free lance has honors thrust upon him. A collector of gems sent me a box of uncut opals, amethysts and sapphires had written about his collection in a brief paragraph. Downey of London, photographer to the King" charged me nothing for dozens of photographs of myself, for I had written a word about his pictures of the kings grandsons. '.Would you like to go home by the way of Jamaica?" asked Sir Alfred Jones, the Banana King" while I was a guest in his home in Liverpool 'T have a new steamer sailing for Port Kingston on her maiden voyage. You and your wife shall have the best stateroom." But it is not dead-h head trips to lotos lands, nor prec- ious stones, it is the precious acquaint- ances. the golden friendships. that count in this living by writing

Raising the Quarantines.

Already the raising of quarantines has been begun. Alabama is no longer uuarantined against the whole of Mis- sissippi or the whole of Florida. It Is a matter of counties now, and one county after another will be elimi- mated until the unneighborly business is wholly abrogated. Speed it's going.
 The hills of this state no longer need the protection of quarantine, for the stegomyia fasciata no longer roams among them. The chill night air has proven too much for the del icate constitution of the unwelcome creature, and it is either dead, or else 1t has departed to localities that pos sess in October balmier airs.
 We frankly admit that in June the B. f. does arrive here in a Pullman car, and it alights and proceeds to make itself at home. It selects mate and the new pair are wholly free from race suicide ideas. They are old fashioned insects. and they become numerous before the chilly airs of Oc- tober cut short their activities. The fever mosquito is an import that eludes the Dingley tariff, and few i'm ports can do that. It pays no fare on railroads. and nearly every town fur

THE OTHER ONE.

From Harpers Weekly.
 A story is told of police magistrate in Cincinnati who, having an extraordinary amount of business one morning, was dis posing of his cases at the rate of some two or three a minute, with great exact ness and dignity, beingS as is usual in police courts, judge, jury. and lawyer all in one.
 To one rather refractory witness his Honor said, 'I am to understand that you readily recognize this handkerchief as the one stolen from you?'
 ''Yes, your Honor"
 How do you know it Is yours?" per- emptorily demanded his Honor.
 ..I recognized it at once because of It's peculiar design.'
 You must be aware, sir" declared the magistrate, oracularly. as he drew sim liar handkerchief from his own pocket, that there are others like it..
 ''True enough was the unexpected re- ply "I had two stolen!'

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 It is generally unlucky to propose to a girl who is sure to accept you.
 Before a woman marries a man she wants him to write poetry for her; after ward checks will do.
 A womans idea of having a good time Is going off somewhere with all the fam fly; a mans without any of them.
 When a thin woman puts on her winter clothes she brags herself to death about the extra pound she has gained. There is hardly any nightmare a man can have worse than to dream that he has started to stoke the furnace a month ahead of time.

 Three little girls in Harlem were one day aiscoursing about the baby brothers that had taken up their residence with their respective families during the year.
 Said tho first little girl, My brother Toms got the beautifulest silver cup that his godfather gave him."
 "Oh," exclaimed the second little girl, that's nothing. My brother Willie's got the most expensive go-cart that ever was"
 Well" said the third little girl, "my brother Eddie ain't half so big. maybe. as your brothers. But she added with ill-concealed triumph. the doctor says he's had more fits than any other baby in the neighborhood!'
