HomecominQ in Octobor.

The Commercial club did wisely
when it formally announced a home
coming week of the Kentucky sort in
the week of October 1920. 1t Is not to
be week of money making, but a
week of hospitality-a magnificent
week In which all native Alabamians
will be warmly welcomed home. True,
the state fair is TO be held in that
week, but that will not give the move
ment a selfish aspect. Selfishness is
to be banished and a warm-hearted
welcome set up instead
It is to be hoped that the movement
will take on a broad and enthusiastic
state aspect, so that the 400, 900 absent
Alabamians will be invited home. A
general reception of the homecomers
will take place in this city, and then
they will be welcomed home In their
respective counties. When we con
slider that there are almost $4,000 born
Alabamians in Texas alone it will be
seen that there is no time to waste in
the work of putting the home invita-
tions in their hands. Each county
should meet and organize and act.
The Commercial club has appointed
an executive committee to take charge
of the movement, and that committee
should at once obtain round rates for
homecomers in each and every state,
for every state holds Alabamians. Low
rates and William Jennings Bryan and
a warm welcome will bring tens Of
thousands of the wanderers home in
the selected October week. Let all
give the movement support and aid
and, better than all else, warm invita-
tions to all friends to come back to the
dear old state in the appointed Octo-
her week.

The Laws Delay.

I'VE hear so much about the laws de-
lay" said Frank Deedmeyer yesterday in
relating to a group Of LAYERS his efforts
to bring about the settlement of estates
in European countries after ALL" said
Mr.. Deedmeyer, Justice moves swiftly
in our land compared with the leaden
pace at which she travels In some for
elgn countries.
Il am looking after law suit pending
in Denmark for a gentleman living here.
He became involved in litigation there
some thirty years ago. His unsuccessful
opponent carried the case to the highest
court of appeals of Denmark This was
in 1881. and there the cause is still pend
ing My client hopes to live long enough
to learn what the decision will be. An
estate in the Duchy of Luxembourg has
had my attention for some time. This
matter has been in the courts but fif-
teen years, as a lawyer of that little
country writes me, and he expresses the
belief that a final adjustment may be
expected as early as 1910"

Capt. Dreyfus' Vindication.

AS long ago as October, 1894, Capt.
Alfred Dreyfus, a member of wealthy
Hebrew family, was charged with the
selling of military plans to the Ger
mans. He was arrested, and the anti
Semitism of the period led to his con-
viction and to a cruel sentence to the
horrors to Devils Island on the South
American coast, where he remained
until the efforts of his wife and
friends, and notably of General Pic
quart, secured his return to France.
The last named officer early became
convinced that forgeries and false ac-
cuNStions were all that stood against
Captain Dreyfus in the courtmartial.
Count Esterhazy was perhaps the chief
villain in the plot, but there were
many sthers, including General Mer-
cier, then ~ the head Of the army
1t was not until the past week that
the French courts had the justice and
the firmness needful to grant the ac-
cused full and complete vindication.
This vin(ication in the courts was
speedily followed in Parliament by
laws making Dreyfus chief of squad
ron of artillery and brave Picquart
a brigadier general. The vote on the
Dr. yfus matter in the Chamber of
Deputies was 437 yeas and AZ nays,
and on the Picquart matter only 81
nays were recorded. The votes III the
Senate were equally emphatic. 1t is
said that Dreyfus is to be nominated
to the Legion of Honor. one of the
highest marks of esteem that can come
to Frenchmen
This closes the incident, and it is
closed right. 1t could not be closed
in any other way, for wrong simply
rankles to break out anew. Grosser
;njpptice was perhaps never done to
a" army officer, and II Is strange that
twelve long years were penliitted to
elapse before the known yillainy
of the Rennes courtmartial was I'M
done. Some time had to elapse in
order to let misguided and unjust
public sentiment correct itself but the
injustice should not have been pro-
longed twelve years. Twelve months
would have been more reasonable
term of waiting.

Cotton Talk.

Crop prospects in this section have
been very flattering," said a member of
a large local firm yesterday. From pri-
vate reports and personal observation [
don't know that | ever knew of better
outlook especially for cotton. But | am
a little afraid that we have had too much
rain for the past few days. This is a
critical time with the cotton plant. With
anything like a continued wet spell
grass would get such start that 1t
would be a hard matter to work it out
Farmers from Tuscaloosa say that con-
ditions so far with them have been ideal
and such is the cast throughout this sec
ton as far as / have been able to
hear There has certainly been no reduc-
ton in acreage. If anything there has
been an increase over last year.
Cotton has been blooming for about
ten days, and squares are forming. Ex-
cesslve rains. of course, are favorable to
the appearance of insects. 1t won't take
much of 1t for Texas to raise the cry
of ravages by the boil weevil. 1t goes
without saying that then we would have
a sentimental advance, whether other
conditions warranted it or not. But as a
matter of fact the cotton crop is far from
being made yet.
August is the real test. Even then
lots Of backsets can come before frost.
Any prediction made now must be guess
work, The cotton plant is one thing that
nobody knows much about. The best
farmers are often badly misled. The
very things that make some crops ruin
others. So in the last analysis nothing is
definite until frost falls

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR,

From the New York Press
If it cost more money not to smoke
than to do 1t. it would be easier to
swear off
A girl seems to think it's disgrace
TO her not TO say she has Tilted three
or four hundred men.
There is hardly anything as hard as
making a woman believe you love her
when she knows you really do.
No matter how thick they are. IL you
tell a woman her ankles twinkle she
will never believe anything bad she hears
about YOU.
It's mighty comfortable feeling to
come home at 8 O'Clock in the morning
and know your wife is sound asleep away
in the mountains.

WooING.

BY Julia Nicely Finch.
A little white path went wandering by;
Sauntering slow on a sweet summer day.
A little white cloud came floating above.
A vague little cloud scarce knowing the
way
OF her flight and her fancy, this soft sum-
mer day.
"Oh, little white cloud, little cloud of my
love

Miller for senator from jefferson county
that gentleman Is out in an open letter
in the Herald in which he takes a
positive stand for rate reform, and says
so in no uncertain language. The fact
is, he says he was for B. B. Conner in
his race against John Y. Smith and has
always been Bryan Democrat. He
talks In a way that pleases US. and we
hereby withdraw anything we might have
said as taking part between the two as
pirants for the senate in the county of

writes it appears that he Is amply able
to take care of himself and VIC viii have
nothing further to say in the little con-
troversy that is now going on between
