Why "Fizzy" Drinks Are Popular

editorial stated that 1.-The Lancet" OF

pecially is this true when it is consid-
cred that heretofore Birmingham has been
content to be associated solely with coal
and iron, and that this convention will
focus upon it for the first time the at
tention of the entire cotton world
As is well known these meetings of the
association have often exerted a marked
influence on the price of cotton and it is
safe to say, therefore, that they are
watched with the closest interest by spin
ners from Liverpool to Hong Kong.

citation who have been heard from are
well pleased with the selection of Bir-
mingham as the meeting place They feel

VIII Form Associations.

Paris. November 1.-THE Matin guaran-
tees the authenticity of a story to the
effect that Monsgnor Deramecourt saw
the Pope last summer and obtained his
full and entire appreciation to form cul-

sons. The monsignor was dumbfounded
when the encyclical forbidding compliance
with the law of associations was read to
the French episcopate. Monsignor Dera-
mecourt has died since this reading.

It costs you Nothing to Look
What tho Cincinnati; fnouirer saws

What the Cincinnati Enquirer says
of "Dora Thorne" A large audience
gave its seal Of applauding approval to
this bit of stage literature last night.
Judging from the applause the produc-
ton is just what the theatre-goers want.
"Dora Thorne" as story is too well
known for comment but it must be adj
mitted that the playwright has improved
upon the plot to such an extent that
the play is far more interesting than the
book. Dramatic licence IS somewhat
elastic at times to say the least and in
the play the most dramatic and exciting
points of the book are brought out with
decisive action and clearness Nor is
the comedy found wanting; much HUI
NOR is intermingled with the episodes of
the drama making as a whole a play
and interesting in the extreme.

FOR NOMINEES
Mr.. Editor.


/ learn from reading
the papers, that the Democrats
over the State, are wrangling
among themselves, over men.
and not saying things compli-
mentary, (not over the principles
of the party,) but the cause
seems to be the men who are
seeking office at the hands of the
party. We hear of men saying
they are opposed to certain cam
didates because the Ring" is for
them. We hear it said there is a
State ring, and also a County
ring. Now if there is a ring State
or County, or both, that is the,
entering wedge so to speak, that
is the cause of party split. The
Press who ma kes these charges,
of Ring rule, should name the
men who the y are, so Democrats
who are opposed to seeing the
party split in twain, can shun
the advice and influance of these
wolves in sheep clothing. My
idea is the time has come when
inuendo is no good. Call out and
publish the names of the ring.
We hear of men saying if the
man they are for, is not nomi-
they will not vote in the regular
election. When a man or men
say this, Are they not ring too.
and Inadvertently admit they
will either rule or ruin? What
is the primary election or con-
vention, understand it, to select
one man for the different offices
to be filled at a regular election.
In making these selections, it is
often said it was unfairly done,
for argument let us admit it is
so, and it is wrong, and the fell
lows that got left, often say |
want vote for him, two wrongs
don't make right. So then the
selection of the men for office is,
as compromise. Some one has to
be defeated and we all under
stand this in the atari. think
a man is honorbly bound to sup
port the nominee of his party
whether he takes any hand in
selection or not. This the way
the writer has conducted himself
all the way along. Of course
levery man has a right to do
otherwise if he sees proper.

department that these reports were

badly in health as the result of over
work, it is said, and his nervous sys-

tack of boils has been followed by grip,
and finally Secretary Taft, at the in
stance of Mr.. Shonts' physicians, per
emptorily ordered him to take rest
for two weeks at Atlantic City. That
was on the 8th instant, and Mr.. Shonts
accordingly has been stopping at the

ARTIFICIAL BADNESS.
The Ancient and Strange Custom of
Shaving the Head.

The Ancient ana Strange Custom OF
Shaving the Head.
A historical inquiry into the origin
of the custom Of shaving the head,
which is practiced in several countries,
would be interesting
1t was not until the fifth century that
in Europe priests began to shave their
crowns. The Roman clergy then adopt
ed the circular method and shaved
that small round spot on the top of
the head which is known as the tom
sure. In Scotland, however, the monks
shaved the whole of the fore part Of
the head from ear to ear.
In the Andaman islands every man
shaves his head, or, rather. gets his
wife to shave it for him. Many other
orientals also get baldheaded.
AS for the Chinaman, his method Of
shaving is exactly opposed to that Of
the Roman monk He shaves all but a
round patch, the hair of which grows
long and forms the pigtail.
When the difficulty of shaving the
head is borne in mind the true strange
ness of the custom becomes doubly
apparent. 1t is hard to see the ad-
vantage of it, yet in one form or AN
other and at one time or other it, has
been practiced in nearly every country.

r1dian few days ago, and played hav-
oc with that city. Monday afternoon
MI George NJ. Kennedy returned to
the city from New Augusta and
brought the first news of the tornado
to Hattiesburg.
Before leaving New Augusta Mr..
Kennedy talked with several men who
witnessed the tornado; others hearing
1t for distance of four or five miles.
From all accounts the tornado origin
ated at point between Beaumont, on
the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City
railroad, and Brooklyn, on the gulf
and Ship Island, twetny miles south of
this city. The tornado with a funnel
formation, sped across the country a
distance Of 16 miles, demolishing
everything in front of it.
1t passed through the Newman Lum-
Der company's tract No. 211, crossing
the big public road miles below the
old John c. Pierce homestead. At this
point the tornado seemed very severe
and was travelling at the rate of 70
miles an hour 1t tore down fences.

the timber in its path
Mr.. Kennedy left New Augusta early
in the morning, and up to the hour of
his departure, few, if any, details of
the tornado had been received. He
was of the opinion, however, that great
damage had been done.
Whether the storm was accompanied
by heavy loss of life, he is unable to
say, but it was certain the storm had
swept the country for the width of a
mile or more and at the points from
which reports had been received, the
country was entirely cleared of timber
and everything else in front of the
storm
