Tnterest In Flower Show,

.'The attention which the Montgom- cry Flower Show Is attracting speaks well for the people" said an interested Montgomery citizen, yesterday "and | nothing more productive of beneficial results than the cultivation of a taste for the beautiful in nature in any of It's forms.
 is, primarily. commercial, there is a deeper purpose and if there is failure Of that purpose, the commercial success of the enterprise will uot compensate It Is hoped and expected that the in- f1uence brought about by the friendly rivalry among competitors for the prizes offeredg will result in a great many more people spending their leis ure in the cultivation of flowers and plants, thereby creating a wholesome ing more of the bright and the beauti. full into the homes or our city.
 The show of fine. plants and cut flowers grown by Montgomery anna tours was a revelation to many Mont gomery people who had no idea that such flowers could be grown out of a hot house, and in this connection 1t also shows the possibilities of Montgomery s0i and our aeligRtfg! B a climate

 Mayor Hears Troubles.
 Tt would surprise you" said a Mont gomery city official yesterday ''to sit here and watch the door of the Mayors off1ce and see the continual stream Of people who, visit him and tell their lit- tie tales of woe.
 There are men and women, whites and blacks, and their errands vary as much as their characters. Some per- haps desire to tell the Mayor how un- just is the proposed paving tax that il is proposed to levy against their prop srty. and how impossible 1t viii be to pay it. Others merely want permission from the chief executive of the city to dig a trench across some important street, or to be allowed to violate some city ordinance with imPunity.
 "Go tell your troubles to a police man., is the slogan in some cities. but In Montgomery, tt seema to me, every body who hasn't confidential lawyer, or who doesn't make a confidant of his pastor, rushes post haste to the Mayor office to unburden themselves of their troubles across his table. If it were not so pathetic in many instances, 1t would be very funny.
