portIand Cement in Alabama.

John Sharshall Grasty calls atten- lion in the Manufacturers Record 70 tbe enormous quantity of cement mak. ,nv mata. .al lying unused on or near navigable rivers in Alabama The Tinted States geological survey and l,r. Eugene A. Smith have studied the cement rocks of this state carefully, and they agree in saying that excei- lant material for cement making B hare found at or near cheap fuel, cheap labor and cheap water transpor- tetion. It is indeed certain that bar rel of true Portland cement can be made in Alabama. and landed at the .a. at lower cost than can elsewhere re done in any other part Of the coun- t..-- If mills were established in th's ereat river state where cheap fuel 7>d i, smont.making meet, other cement ,,-i,,s could be driven oit of the indus try This Is sne testimony or all Wno have investigated "a subject.
 The vast deposits of cement rock in ,b,s state are discussed by MT. Grasty. He shows by official testimony that the quality of our cement rocks and claws arc not only excellent, but they e inexhaustible, and he predicts that Alabama will yet become great ce- ,nent-mak.ng state. The navigable streams are here, and so are cheap fuel and cheap labor and all are near the sea.
 The central line of lhe Selma chalk extends from Montgomery to Epes, while the central line of the St. Steph- ems limestone exten1s from St. Steph- e to Colum~.a. There are other heds of ,ment rock in this state, but the two mentioned lie on or near rivers that are open to barge naviga- ton at least, and they present every advantage for development. The Iombigbee, the Alabama and the Warrior all cross the cement rocks of this state, and on all three coal can be barged to the mill, and the product taken away to the sea.

Central establishes itself here--an event of the next few fnonths--no other town in the south will have equally good railroad facilities. From no other town will ali parts of the south be so readily accessible.
 The one thing lacking Is office room. We need more skyscrapefs, and we need them very much as the democrats needed last fall votes. Tie three we have have served us excellently, but they do but point the way to more. One skyscraper is apt to lead to an other, and 1t is to be hoped the gen eral rule will work in that way in this town. Let us give all possible credit to Mir Woodward, who built the first one. and who was Instrumental i1 building the second, while we com. mend his far-sighted enterprise to the men who are organizing a great city today in this valley.

NIGHT,

By Percy Bysshe Shelly. Swiftly walk over the Western wave Spirit of Night
 Out of the misty Eastern cave Where, all the long and lone daylight, Thou wovest dreams of joy and fear, W hieh make thee terrible and dear
 Swift be thy flight
 Wrap thy form in a mantle gray.
 Star inwrought.
 Blind with thine hair the eyes of Dayi Kiss him until he be wearied out: Then wander OCT city and sea and land Touching all with thine opiate wand.
 Come. long sought,
 When I arose and saw the dawn,
 I sighed for thee;
 When light rose high and the dew was
 gone And noon lay heavy on flower and tree: And the weary Day turned to his rest, Lingering like an unloved guest I sighed for thee. Thy brother Death came, and cried 'Wouldst thou me?' Thy sweet child, Sleep. the filmy-eyed. Murmured like a noon-tide bee Shall I nestle by thy side? Wouldst thou me?" And I replied No! not thee
 Death will come when thou art dead. Soon, too soon
 Sleep will come when thou art hed Of neither would I ask the boon I ask of thee, beloved Nightl Swift be thine approaching flight! Come soon, soon!

From the Kansas City Times.
 They were in a carriage going to ball. He was just of age and was wearing his new dress suit It was his first attempt at "doing things up in style." Never be- fore had he worn dress suit or taken a girl to a social function in carriage. He had dressed in nervous haste, and yet he had tried his best to see that his raiment was absolutely faultless
 As they were driven rapidly toward the hall they talked of the fine time they expected to have. Suddenly the girl stopped talking and gazed intently at the bottom of the hack. The youth noticed that she was apparently interested in something down there, and he asked Mary, what's the matter with you? What makes you so quiet?' 'John," she replied, perhaps I shouldn't ask you such a question, but isn't there some thing wrong with your feet?" The young man looked down. He was still in his old carpet slippers, sockless.

JOY OF BEING A MODERN
 BEAUTY OF THE CHORUS

eral impression that the life of the chorus girl in this free and happy land, while 1t seems to be streaked with more or less vicissitude, is about as comfortable as the most exacting could reasonably ask. She accumulates jewelry of great value, racing cars, chauffeurs of almost unearthly splendor, fine raiment beyond computation, and apartments of truly Oriental luxury. Occasionally, of course, there is hiatus in the flood of revenue. The s2o week is stopped for while, and then 1t becomes necessary to barley with the wolf by leaving an automobile w1rh Simpson and temporarily dismiss.ng the naughty foreign aristocrat who drives it. Sometimes, at very dire pinch. the big, cold bottle and the small hot bird are replaced by the modest yet filling diet of oysters, eggs and beer, which sustain even if they do not embroider and illuminate existence. The general level, however, is one which few in other walks of life can more than dream of.
 Who wouldn't be a chorus girl? We should really like to know.

MT. Mithersnoon's Plan.

The south and its bumper cotton crop is a favorite theme of writers in all parts of the country. All have plenty of advice to offer. All are con- fident they understand the problem in all it's length and breadth, and tho New England writers, living in the shadow of cotton mills, simply know they have the right end of 1t.
 Even in the land of cotton many plans have been presented, and the city of Meridian, in Mississippi, in order to be in the running, presents q plan which has come to be known a. the "Witherspoon Plan" It bears the endorsement of the Meridian Board of Trade.
 Briefly speaking, the plan calls for a big cotton ,orporation, with head quarters in New Orleans, and branches in Selma, Birmingham and elsewhere in the cotton belt. The object of the corporation is to secure a reasonable price for cotton. Its capital is to be $11O. .000 .000 to be fully subscribed for and paid in. With this capital it is to buy cotton at ten cents pound until one hundred millions of the capital is absorbed. No cotton shall be bought at less than ten cents per pound, no matter what the market price may be. All cotton purchased Is to be held until it can be sold for eleven cents, and it shall be sold at eleven cents regard less of market prices. The funds of the corporation may be loaned when they came. be used in the purchase of cotton.
 The task of getting together in the south $11o,000,0OO is by no means light one, and it is safe to say that the organization of the company will  not be speedy, and Meridian does not propose to underwrite the subscrip- tions. And if it could be carried into effect the holding of cotton is an il- fusion. Cotton held by the Wither' spoon corporation would be cotton in plain sight of all, and it would have the effect upon the market that a like amount in New York warehouses would have. The sum named would buy two million bales, and the hold ing of that amount in stock by one corporation would be felt. But how There's the rub. Would it be felt as MT. Witherspoon thinks 1t would Might it not prove a cloud upon the market? It would be an artificial re straint of trade in the cotton market, and no one can say just what its ef- fects would be. conceding at the out. set that the vast sum, would be sub scribed and paid in in the south.

@HREE or four days ago a very (0 good looking girl alighted from
 her chariot in front of an uptown New York pawn shop. The vehicle was big. yellow touring car of great power and beauty equipped with all the latest appliances of luxury, including a chauf- feur in gorgeous livery. The machine seemed to be a racer of extraordinary ca pacity for devastation, while the bediz- ened driver suggested, by means of his lordly bearing and contemptuous eye, record of homicidal achievement calculat- ed to make the average cowboy take to knitting for an occupation. The lady wore a Persian lamb coat, a picture hat ten diamond and ruby rings and a pair of stockings that caused a passing capital ist to swoon ten feet away. She went into the pawn shop, the real name of whose proprietor was Maurice Montmorency Simpson, flashed s1O,OO0 worth of jewelry on the clerk until the pomatum melted in his hair, and sent word to Maurice Mont morency, etc. that she wanted to spout her juggernaut. Simpson wagged his nose. the clerk wobbled his the lady got seO0 lon the usual terms" the chauf- feur went away to consider whether he'd be a titled nobleman for the rest of the winter or go west and kill desperadoes for a living.
 Stella-that's the way she put it-after- ward explained to a palpitating report CT that she was a chorus girl, once af- fluent, but now out of job. and that she needed the money to keep the wolf from her very pretty, curtained door in Fifty-first street. She had at last secured new engagement, but until the rechauffe went on and her opulent income of s25 a week began she could not afford the touring car and the liveried chauffeur. T don't want it, anyhow, until next spring. and by that time I'll square Simpson, you know. I'm to be on the extreme right of the front row, with turn In boys clothes in the second act. where I stop a. banker on the street and ask him for a tip on copper. Oh! it's all right now, or will be by the middle of next month. and I don't want the scorcher for while, anyhow"
 From all of which we gather the gen.

Hiah.CIass Music.

"The death of Theodore Thomas has brought forth many warm and eloquent tributes to the great musician and in- cidentally many interesting discussions of music as one of the fine arts" remark ed pianist. "one has but to glance over some of the articles that have appeared in the leading papers of the country to see the high appreciation in which MT. Thomas was held as an educator as well as an artist and entertainer. Music Is not only one of the fine arts, but it Is also science. It is the most subtle of all the arts and is second to noth- ing in the intellectual realm. Of course I refer t. high class music
 "The analogy between music and liter ature is very striking. Music full of musi- cal ideas and poetry, and @rammatically expressed. Is animating and helpful to the mind and soul, just as a great essay or poem is stimulating and uplifting; while trivial music, like a trashy novel, vitiates the taste, and has anything but a. wholesome effect on the intellect.
 Institutions of learning should have only the best of musical instructors. In some colleges and seminaries as much care is exercised in the musical depart ment as in the language or mathematical departments. On the other hand In some institutions of learning music is only treated in an indifferent way and recital programmes of rubbish are often render ed. The time must come In this country when the musical eharlatan will find it as difficult to get footing as he does in Europe"

Senatorial Service.

Continuous service considered only, Sena.or Allison is the only six-term senator in the capitol. At present there are sitting in the Senate three five term senator's, no more, and they are Morgan of Alabama, Platt of Con pecticutt and Cockrell of Missouri, all or whom have served continuously On March 4 Hale of Maine and Aldrich of Rhode Island will be added to the f,ya.term men, but Cpckrell of Mis- se,iri will dro, out. thus leaving after March 4 one six-term senator and TOUT fve.term senators. The service or Stewart of Nevada has not been con tinuous and he drops out on March carving his whiskers with him. Senator Frye has sat in the Senate q long time, but he began by serving a fraction of q term. Counting only full terms and continuous service the vet eran senators after March 4 will De A, A,lison Morgan, Plat, Hale and Ald- rich.
 The tendency of the country seems to he towards long service in the Sen- ate, and even il the House. Promotion by seniority is the rule in the Senate ana th, single-term senator does not rise Yery high in committee assign ments or senatorial influence, and It IS the veteran who rules the senate ana through it the country. The fixed pe- lief of the Senate is that it is to thls country what the Roman senate was to Rome.

Voting Qualifications in Alabama.

It Is always well to remember that in no state has any man, white or black, been disfranchised. Many can. not vote because they are disqualified, but no man, white or black, has been or will be excluded from the ballot box provided he meets the qualifiea- tions imposed on all alike. In this state a voter under the present plan of registration must be one who can read or write or who pays taxes on $500. The disqualifications apply to all alike, and every man, be he white or black, can himself remove his dis qualifications. There is not negro in this state twenty-one years of age, who cannot, if he will, speedily be- come voter-not one.
 The grandfather" provision of the ate voters in the electorate. It may not be altogether defensible, but be it what it may, it will each year become less important, and in few years ali will have to come to the ballot box in accordance with the permanent regis tration provisions of the constitution of 1901
 As a general proposition it is safe to scy that all voters should be either taxpayers or literates. Better still, they should be both. No man can readily be a good citizen unless he can read and IS taxpayer. There are a few exceptions-just enough to prove the rule. Alabama will soon outgrow it's grandfather" weakness, and then all citizens will stand on one footing. All must then qualify themselves either by going to school or by ac- cumulatlng some taxable property.

IN HOTEL LOBBTES
Can One Be Enund2

Tt seems to me that the promise made the Washington authorities bv Referee Thompson that he would return to Blr- minsham and find republican against whom no charges could be made was a somewhat rash proposition," remarked a man about town.
 Tn taet' while there may be men here, both republicans and democrats, who are without guile, and who would make worthy successors to pr. Hughes. 1 Know of no one who Is without opposi- tien' and opposition can and does trump up charges against all earthly mortals.
 The spotless can only be found in heaven, and 1 sometimes think that heaven Is too far away from Birmingham to make eligible a selection from that realm for the Birmingham postofflee."

Arkansas Senate Almost Unanimously
 Favors Measure.

Little Rock, Ark. January 13.-The Sem ate to-day, by vote of 25 to 9, passed the antitrust measure known as the King bill, the passage of which was de- manded by plank in the last Demo- cratic state platform. It provides pro- hibitory penalties upon any corporation transacting business in Arkansas which is member of or party to any pool. trust, agreement or combination, wheth- CT in this state or elsewhere.
 The bill was transmitted to the House, where an amendment to exempt labor unions and horticultural and agricultural organizations from its provisions, was re- jected. The ball was then made a spe- cial order for next Tuesday.

Houses In Winter.

While many of the houses of Birming- ham are constructed with view to com fort in winter as well as summer com fort. a majority of the frame structures are like barns in winter, and are fitted up with cheap plumbing" said nor thern man who has been living here for several years.
 "A large amount of money is paid out here every winter for the repair of burst pipes This money could be saved, to say nothing of the annoyance that could be saved. if good plumbing were installed, regardless of the original cost"

Diversified Crops and Industries.

Diversified farming in the cotton states is as necessary for solid thrift as dlversi- fled industries in the cities" said a busi- ness man who keeps in touch with the agricultural sections. Birmingham in It's younger days depended entirely upon the iron furnaces and the mining companies. When miners were idle and furnaces wet out of blast all trade in Birmingham was paralyzed. Iron is still the mainstay of this city, but there are between two and three hundred small industries here now, and if every furnace stopped Bir mingham would still be a busy place.
 Cotton will always be the mainstay of the cotton growing sections, but there should be more truck farming and more hay making

The Dust Devil.

T hope John MeCartin wil stick to that promise not to have any more dust as result of street sweeping without sprinkling" said a citizen yesterday
 Everyone likes McCartin. for he Is an 'awfully' good fellow, but then we simply can't live on dust and, diet we re- eeive frequently Is too much for the pa- tlence of even the best Job in the city. We are with him as long as the dust doesn't fly, but the next time that we have to walk through clouds of 1t as high as the top of the buildings, for one am going to start a movement to get right In behind him."

Southern People as Passengers.

The people of the south patronize the trains better than oo the people in any other section of the country" said a eminent railroad official who was born and reared in the east Tt is safe to say that in proportion to population the south furnishes 100 per cent more pas- senger traffic than the east. All the passenger trains on all the southern Hires are well filled every day in the week. While great many people travel only when business calls them large percentage travel just because they like to ride on the train. 1 find this to be s6 especially among the negroes. Nine negro men out of ten on being paid off, will buy ticket to some point. No mat ter how poor the country is crowds of men and women, white and black, are on the move"

Memphis has four skyscrapers, while Birmingham has but three. The need of more in a district, which is alike more populous and more nearly central than any other district in the south. is plain. We need more if we are to 10 on attracting thither general agencies of one sort or another.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 Trying to get rich quick means getting poor quicker.
 The. only time a father is more foolish than when the baby has a tooth Is when it has two.
 A girl would have very little enjoyment in loving a man If she couldn't be jealous about him.
 Women do have a moral sense when they are not near a customhouse or pay- ing street car fares. Mighty few men can get worried over their soul when their collar button is pinching the back of their neck.
