Pennanf WlnnInn.

The hurlyburlys done, and all the
battles are lost and won; and through
the dust and smoke CLEANS a Birmln-
ham pennant The thin banner, when
next spring it is turned loose in the
breezes of Jones Valley, will tell a
story of consistent ball, of a steady
climb to the top, of patient, self-sacri-
ficing work against seven other strong
teams, that perhaps few will then re-
call, but that is very plain to many
now.
Some are ready to say that Birming-
ham needs "a 300 batter or two. So
it does. But 300" batters are becom-
ing scarce in these days of skilled
pitching of curving balls, and they are
particularly scarce in team that pull
ed together as the Birmingham team
did in the season just ended. The
record may show that the pennant
winners did not have a 900" batter,
but if 1t does 1t will be because every
member of the team stood ready to
assist his colleagues regardless of an
individual record.
1t was this team feeling and team
spirit that enabled Manager Vaughn
to achieve the result he did. Possibly
he developed this team spirit, but
whether he did or not, he stood ready
to utilize 1t to the utmost.
Let us not crow unduly over Atlanta,
or even Memphis. Let us be consid-
crate to Montgomery and Nashville.
Let us, in fact, begin to put 1906 be-
hind us, and to get ready for sport in
1907. We need better scene for the
national game-one at which specta-
tors cannot be marooned by rushing
waters, as they were on Friday last.
We need, too, less humbuggery in the
way of salary limit that no one re-
spects. Fewer salary limits and bet
ter grounds are the needs of 1907. We
need Manager Vaughn, and we need a
stronger batter or two, and we need
Frank Smith.

NEW YORK WOMEN AND PINS.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
"one reason why New York's wom-

the buyer for Pittsburg notion and dry
goods house. lis the fact that they use
fewest pins. Apparently buttons, hooks
and-eyes and tape perform the job OF
fastening their garments pretty thor
oughly. Strange to say, it is in Boston
that the pin trade iourishes most abund-
antly. Women buy more pins there. ac-
cording to the population, than in any
other city in the country. That habit
does not speak well for Boston. The pin
habit is inimical to tidiness That is the
reason that New York women are so

lust a Word About Birmingham.

In all mineral districts there is one
real dominant center, and but one. In
Western Pennsylvania there are many
prosperous cities. but all are seconda-
ry to Pittsburg. There is but one CEN
trail controlling city in Western Penn
sylYania, and there will never be but
one. There is but one In the Alabama
mineral district, and each year serves
to increase It's prominence and power
and leadership.
1t would lessen friction and enlarge
cooperation and friendly relations If
all would recognize the situation and
work up to 1t. It Is to the interest of
the entire state that this district
should be full of prosperous cities, and
1t will be. It's Bessemers, Ensleys,
Gadsdens, Admissions and Shefields will
all become active, bustling and prosper
Gus cities, but each and all will be sub
sidiary to the Pittsburg of this district
Once that controlling fact is accepted
and, so to speak, assimilated, the cas-
Ter it will be to work together for the
good of the district and the entire
state.
This fact need not and will not i'm
pair in the least the prosperity of our
secondary cities. On the contrary,
their welfare would thereby be IN
creased, for this city would then pull
for them as 1t pulls for itself. A fur
mace or a mill established in them
would be rejoiced over here as much
as if we had to breathe its smoke
daily.
In the great outside world all know
and talk about the Birmingham dis
trict," and they do not know and new
er will know any other district In this
state. The Pittsburg district embraces
all of Western Pennsylvania, and the
Birmingham district embraces all of
mineral Alabama from Sheffield to
Calera, from Russellyile to Talladega.
It is always best to accept a situation
that is Interchangeable and that is what
our prosperous lesser cities should
frankly do, thus doing away with all
friction and chickering's and i'll feeling.
Lei us, brethren, of the mines and
mills, dwell together in unity. This
can be done by accepting leadership

H. c. compton,s Residence.

1.-THE Montgomery correspondent few
days ago made an error in stating that
my home is in Birmingham said H. C.
Compton, candidate for railroad commits
sioner in the August primary. who is
eontesting the nomination OF j. G. Har-
ris.
MY home is at Springville. Ala, where
l have registered and paid all poll taxes
for the past twenty years. The claim that
l would have no legal right to hold the
office of railroad commissioner on account
of my residence in Birmingham. the home
of the present president of the commits
sion, Mr.. Conner, is an error.
II am contending in my petition of
contest that Mr.. Harris residence is at
Montgomery and in the same district with
Mr.. Henderson, who was also declared
a nominee. The law OF Alabama declares
that two members of the commission
cannot be elected from the same con-
gressional district. When Mr.. Harris was
notified of this fact he went to Hale
county and registered last July
Il shall seek to show in the contest
investigation that his home has always
been in Montgomery and that he only
decided to move his citizenship to an
other district after the opening of the
late campaign.
Il have always held my citizenship at
Springville In the Seventh district, and
having the next highest vote to Hem
derson barring Mr.. Harris ineligibility,
! contend that l should be declared one
of the nominees"

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES

IN UTUMN's singular charm lies in
P1A its melancholy. The world is
beautiful, but with trace of
sadness and suggestion of winters chilli
ing breath. dreamy stiffness rests on
the hills and in the valleys, the streams
no longer flow with their springtime
sparkle and the birds forget to sing.
Walking abroad, the observer beholds a
transformation under way which is the
apOthesis of summer. There is a wealth
of color in marvellous tlnts, the landscape
is changeful and the skies are faxed with
clouds destined to be chased away by the
heavy draperies of winter rain and those
leaden canopies which sprinkle the earth
with snow. 1t is that complete develop
ment of the bloom before the flower with
ers away, its perfume but a memory.
This atmosphere of sadness invests
stroller with its melancholy and subdues
his spirits, but there is a counteraction
In the uplift Of the breeze and cool
whisper runs through the tree tops, warm
ing the squirrels there to prepare for
winter.

LITTLE TOWN OF LONG AGO.

From the St Louis Globe Democrat
Little old town of the Long Ago,
Little white town in the low. green hills,
Houses all in struggling row,
Drowsy, dusty, stupid, Slow
Little old town. I love you sol
20 the clamor and roar of these marts
and millsD
Little old town where the roads go down
To the four great ways that mortals
tread
To Hearts Desire and great Renown;
Eel Dorado and Fortunes Frown;
Four roads, winding and long and brown.
That meet in the Land of Dead.
Little town of the single street.
And the dust blown up by the wander
ing wind
And the patter of chlldrens bare, brown
And the smell of the forest, wild and
sweet.
When folks shake hands and smile when
they meet;
20 the tender ties that bindD
Little town of the Little Maid
With the golden curls and the eyes Of
And the little boy who dreamed and
played,
But said no word, being much afraid,
Who dreamed and dreamed and dream-
ing strayed
Away from the little maid, and you.
And he cannot find that little old town.
The little lost town he used to know:
The many roads that go up and down
To Ell Dorado and great Renown
TO Hearts Desire of Fortunes Frown.
Do not lead back to Long Ago.

BIRDS THAT EAT .coAP.
From Forest and Stream.

From Forest and Stream.
These birds are about the size and color
of the catbird but have longer tails. I
never saw wild birds SO saucy as these.
No sooner was our camp pitched than
these birds began to congregate in the
treetops and plan mischief. The moment
anything was exposed that they thought
was eatable, they would grab 1t and be off
in a twinkle. They would eat, or try to
eat, anything from meat. sugar, or pan
cakes to a bar of soap. We used tar
soap, and for the purpose it was origi-
nally intended 1t was a great success,
but, as an article of diet, / should not
consider the flavor quite up to other
dainties. Nevertheless, we kept missing
our soap. One would then ask the other:
Have you really reformed and gone
to using soap?'
mot guilty. would be the answer
Then, after a search, we would find tho
soap some distance down the slope, all
pecked and clawed by the whisky jacks
Possibly they did 1t to take the taste OF
my cookery out of their mouths.
