POLITICAL AND OTHER
 GOSSIP OF THE CAPITAL
BY HARVEY W. LAIRD.

Montgomery August 11.-(Special. 1.-The work of the Georgia legislature Is re- ceiving more than usual attention rom the people of Alabama just now. a result of the fact that the lawmaking body of the neghboring state Is taking up and handling in very vigorous way many of the questions that Alabama will have to deal with next year. Prominent among them are child labor and the abolition of the bucket shops. It seems from this long ahead that the legislature of the state will have to do with both at the next session, with many more, one of which Is the pass question.
 The bankers of the state, at their re- cent meeting in Anniston, appointed committee 10 begin work towards the elimination of the bucket shops, and the Southern Cotton association Is getting re- newed industry on the same line. Some say that the trouble with Secretary Cheatham was tracable to his opposition to the trading offices but the evidence indicated that he did not practice any sneeial aversion to them in actual deal- ings.
 It seems well. established that the lobby against the bucket shops will go to as full lengths at 1t did in Georgia, that of eliminating not only the illegitimate places but every one which buys and sells futures.
 There has been gathering for some time a feeling for a better child labor law than the one now on the books. That Is to say. many claim that one is needed that will require the children who work in mills to have first gone to school.

Gossip has it that Man ager Nesbitt of the Conner committee Is to be given the honor and the salary Others say that 1t is to go to Charles Henderson of Troy, If he Is elected one of the associates, while still others have

Next Wednesday
 Last Day.

The Special Summer Rates of the Massey
 Business College expire August 15 Next
 Wednesday, therefore, is the last oppor- tunity young people will have of saving a large part of their tuition charges. This re- duced rate of tuition is only one of the req sons for entering school now. Another and more important reason is that by starting now one can finish the course at the season of the year when many changes are made in the business world and when the oppor- tunities for obtaining good positions are multiplied. I remember last Fall we were unable to supply more than one-half of the applications received from business men right here in Birmingham for bookkeepers and stenographers, and from present indi- cations the opportunities for our graduates this coming Winter will be greater than ever. We are always glad to talk with am bilious boys and girls or older persons, who wish to accomplish things.
 Very truly yours,
