our neighboring county of Hale. who has lived in Montgomery for the past fifteen or sixteen years. who held the office of Reporter of the Supreme Court for eleven years, who has made a good one, who could doubtless hold his job indefinitely, has voluntarily rendered his resignation and stepped down and out. It Is not a small sized little job that he gave up either, it paid about S4,000 per annum and was congenial, though hard work. Another thing about this resignation which sounds like an echo from other days is this: MT. Coleman resigns because he feels that other personal and professional en. gagements are demanding so much Of his time that he cannot give the. duties he discharged so long and well that exclusive and careful attention which he feels should be given by a public official to the duties of his office.
 The Judicial Department of our State Government has lost the services of a State official but the people have been the gathers in the long run. It is so good, so encouraging. so inspiring, so cheering, so novel, so delightful to know that there is actually one man living who is willing to resign a good paying official position. who. believes that 1t is a matter of duty to do so when he cannot give 1t all his attention and mental ability, that the people are will ling to let him go for his examples sake.

The Height of Waves.

 It is usual in other places than novels to hear of waves running mountains high, but in reality the mountains of the sea are by no means steep, and only appear 50 when two systems of add their ampiitudes. For example, as Is shown in a series of wave measure ments lately undertaken by the French Government. the highest normal waves encountered In the Southern Pacific from crest to base of trough. These are ins a sense the waves of greatest known amplitude. The distance be- tween their crests is 1000 feet. Waves of the North Atlantic are normally 52S feet from crest to crest and 26 feet high.

A Nuissnce to Families.

 "A number of times my galleries and my yards have been filtered with this advertising stuff, and I think 1t Is a shame to impose such nuisance upon the people.

 The statement that under the service pension act millionaircs are getting their names on the pension lists is one of the natural results of that indefen- sible administration measure. They get money that they do not need, there by increasing the deficit and bringing discredit on really deserving pension CTS. As The Chicago Chronicle, Rep, looks at it:
 A pension is itself a charity. The idea lies at the bottom of the whole act. The common meaning of the word pensioner. includes that idea and ex- tends in use to the notion of one who attaches himself to another or to an institution dependent often with but doubtful cause. It may be given for good cause or not. In any case it is the nature of a gratuity.
 The plea that the soldier needs pension to complete his record of hon. orabIe service Is without basis His military record is complete without that. if 1t were not he could not get The pension record is evidence only of the pension.

It is not merely in the South that the scarcity of labor is being felt. and that the problem of supplying it is becoming an acute one. In the great wheat and corn regions of the North west the same conditions obtain. and the dificulty of solution is as great there as it is in the South. That more labor is absolutely necessary is plain. but the problem of supplying f is the difficulty.

 The Coosa River News, published at Centre, Cherokee County is one of our best weekly exchanges. The shrop- shire Brothers have been indefatigable workers, and true to their convictions. They deserve the success which they are

 The Dothan Home Journal comes with the formal announcement by Messrs Rufus Jones and Cleveland -Baner of their assumptioni of control of that paper. They say:
 In making this announcement we wish to give our assurance that every energy and capabflity We possess VIII be given to furnishing the people of Dotfan. Houston County and the ter ritory adjacent just such a newspaper as we think they deserve--and we think they deserve a good one. The Home Journal already has the largest cifcula- tion in this part of the State. Appre- ciating this fact, it is our aim and deeire to make 1t by long odds the best paper in Southeast Alabama. As rapidly as possible certain improve mente will be made Geographically and possibly the size itself enlarged.
 There is no doubt of their ability to furnish first-class newspaper to their patrons. They know what it takes to make newspaper-good hard horse sense and steady pulling at the oars. We predict that they will have great success. Their competitors in South east Alabama will have to move up lively in order to keep up the pace that The Journal will set for them.
 The last issue of The Andalusla News contained sixteen pages and there was no patent inside or outside stuff ali home made print. It was filled with live reading matter and paying advertisements gotten up in good style.

COST OF MODERN EDUCATION.
Increase in Tuition Charges Greatly

The tendency toward higher prices,
even for education, is illustrated
again by the announcement that Vas

their incomes for very long at a time.
Since their running expenses are more
than they used to be, and since they
must be constantly extending their
courses and improving their facilities,
they must get more money from some
where. The unfortunate feature of
the situation is that increased tuition
charges make it very hard for young
