 Union Springs Herald Those Pana- mans who want United States troops at the polls must be republicans. Bullock County Breeze: Another Rough Rider appointed to office. That Rough Rider regiment must have been bri- gade.
 Eufaula Times: When you come to think about it, wouldn't this be a queer old world if everybody was agreed on pol itics and religion?
 Collinsville Courier: A lot of men who believe they are going to win heaven because their wives are religious are go- Ing to be sadly deceived.
 Greenville Advocate: Every time we read of German going to jail for less majesty. we wonder what would happen to congress if it met in Berlin. Gadsden Journal We don't hear so much these days about the doings of the Russian grand dukes. PThe douma seems to have crowded them off the stage.

 Troy Messenger: Birmingham has issued an invitation for a homecoming week for all former Alabamians, the pro gramme to be held at Birmingham on October 15 to 20.
 The programme will likely be on the order of that in Kentucky recently.
 The idea is a fine one. and all Ala bama should join in making the move ment successful one. Parties from out of the state would come to Birmingham, attend the meetings there, and then visit their old homes in the several parts of the state for several days. The tickets would likely be on the excursion plan and last about a month.
 Selma Journal: They are talking of set ting aside a special homecoming week for Alabamians, and Birmingham wants to have 1t during her fair The idea Is a very good one, and worked well In Kentucky. We hope many Alabamians will come back home that week and see what a good thing they went away from As for the Black Belt, there is nothing new or novel in the idea. Any time the price can be raised is Homecoming week" with the average 'black belter,' no matter where he has roamed or how he has prospered.
