GARFIELD'S RAPID RISE.

From the Washington Herald
 The rise of James Rudolph Garfield po- litically has been the most rapid and meteoric of any man connected with the Roosevelt administration, and when he enters the cabinet next March as secre- tary of the interior he will be one of the youngest men ever intrusted with so lm- portant a post. MT. Cortelyou, who from the position of stenographer to a demo- cratic fourth assistant postmaster gen. eral. has, in twelve years, been brought within reach of the second most i'm portant cabinet portfolio, that of secre- tary of the treasury. was a few months short of 4 years of age when appointed to his first cabinet position by President Roosevelt, that of secretary of com merce and labor Mir. Garfield is just past A. The only other office he held be- fore he was called to Washington by President Roosevelt to become a mem- Der of the civil service commission was that of a state senator in Ohio. He served in that office one term, and then made an unsuccessful contest against Hon. Jacob Beider for nomination for congress. After that defeat he began the practice of law in Cleveland with a younger brother. Another brother, by the way, is lecturer at Princeton on politics and cognate themes. That the President thinks very much of MT. Gar field is shown by the fact that about two years ago he offered him an ap- pointment to the federal bench in Ohio,
 
 MT. Garfield desired eventually to make for himself a political career. He told the President this frankly and the Presi- dent as frankly declared that he would do all he could to advance his interests. The President calls him Jimmy" and esteems him as one of the best tennis players in Washington.

Uncle Sam's Wealth.

The census bureau says the entire possessions, real and personal, of Uncle Sam now aggregate 107 billion dollars. In 1850 he had but seven billion dollars all told; in 1870 his holdings were worth thirty billions; in 1890 his total wealth stood at 65 billions; in 1900 at SS billions. The per capita wealth is now about $500, as against $307 in 1850.
 In every essential respect the growth of. this country has been marvellous. We have 91s billions of money depos- tted in banks. In 1900 we did business on twenty-six millions of money; now we have 21a billions in circulation, and want more In 1850 we spun but 600,- 900 bales of our own cotton; now we consume at home nearly four million bales. In 1900 we had but 903 post offices; now we have 72,000. In 1850 we had 25Zb newspapers, now we nave about 22,0O0.
 Comparisons with other countries are not readily at hand. It is enough to know that the United States has be come in a century's time the most productive country in the world. The oraat ranuh1io nroduces nore cofton more breadstuffs, more iron, more coal, more of other leading staples, gold alone excepted. than any other nation. Great Britain leads us in the produc- tion of gold. But we have more ac- cumulated wealth than has Great Britain, or any other nation.

Walters and Boards.

'We are accustomed to hear in these days of many fads and fancies,' saiG a man last night. Styles generally start and flourish by imitation. Fashion, as a rule, is rather tyranical, but scarcely coercive. Now, however a fashion has become unionized, and must perforee be followed.
 "The Walters Union of Rome has or dered that every member of that body wear boards. Whether or not these hash singers of the Eternal City have the same idea about clean shaved face be- ing a sign of servitude as had the old Germans or whether they simply nave a grudge against the Barbers' union is not known. At any rate, word has come from Rome that the decree has been is- sued and in response thereto boards of all union walters arc beginning to sprout
 "The question now arises, is there any limit in the union rules as to the length of boards? Are they to be regarded as sacred as in the Mosaic law and not a corner of their boards to be cut. Or are they to be allowed to grow long enough to trail in the soup? The answer to this latter question will no doubt be awaited with interest by the inhabitants of Rome"

A November Snowstorm.

On Wednesday, November II, snow storm prevailed in north Alabama and north Georgia. The ground was GOV cred with a white blanket that was in some localities three inches thick. At lanta, Rome, Gadsden, Chattanooga, Huntsville and Decatur, all were sur prised on Wednesday morning to sec the ground covered with snow.
 Birmingham was not included in the snow belt, although we did during the night and early morning hours get some sleet-not enough, however, to be perceptible in the cold rain that was falling.
 The weather folk say that the snow of Wednesday did in point of priority exceed any that had fallen in the previ- ous twenty-eight years. It almost con stituted an entirely new record. Blind ing snow storms in November are rare occurrences in the south, and when one comes in the first half of the month it becomes noteworthy. A cold north east wind accompanied the snow and sleet, and altogether the Sunny South experienced a very lively bit of wintry weather.

Uniform Divorce Law.

The national congress on uniform divorce laws, sitting in Philadelphia, has formulated a bill which it will lay before legislatures in the forty-six states and two territories as fast as they meet The entire responsibility will then rest upon the legislators of the land, about 5000 in number Five thousand lawmakers sitting in forty six states and two territories are not apt to agree, but perhaps the importance of the problem in question may induce them to accept the Philadelphia plan.
 The proposed Philadelphia bill says that all hearings and trials in divorce cases shall be public before court. No secrecy of any sort is to be per mitted.
 The plan agreed upon goes on to provide for an absolute divorce, and also for divorce from bed and board. An absolute divorce may be granted because of adultery, bigamy, convic- ton and sentence for at least two years for crime. extreme cruelty on the
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-11-16

part of either husband or wife as to endanger the life or health of the other party and render cohabitation unsafe, willful desertion for two years, habit ual drunkenness for two years.
 The causes for divorce from bed and board are set down as follows: Adul- tery, bigamy at the suit of the injured and innocent party to the first mar riage, conviction and sentence for at least two years for crime, extreme cruelty, willful desertion for two years, habitual drunkenness for two years, and hopeless insanity of the husband.
 No sound objection lies to the Philal- delphia bill. It is sensible, reasonable and conservative. Uniformity is de- sirable, very desirable, and the Ala bama legislator who stands out against the adoption of the Philadelphia plan thus blocking uniformity, should come equipped with some good reason for his action.

Snow In BattelIe,

When I left Battelle this morning." said Rohe Davenport, now in charge of the commlssary at that place, "snow was four inches deep. Everything was white. For miles along the Alabama Great Southern track towards Birming ham, the ground was covered with snow, and passengers stated to me that the ground in Chattanooga was covered with snow about six inches deep. l was sur prised on arriving in Birmingham to find that no white mantel had spread itself over the earth.
 From what I can judge, everybody in DeKalb county is coming to Birmingham Saturday to witness the football game between Auburn and the University of Alabama. The county numbers many alumni of these institutions and discus sions relative to the outcome are heard on every corner. The opinion prevails in DeKalb that the Alabama team will win the day"
 MT. Davenport's home is in Chatta- nooga. He has temporary charge of the commissary located at Battelle, which was recently acquired by Davenport Bros, Chattanooga firm, composed of his uncle and father.

Separation in France.

M. Briand's speech in the Chamber of Deputies last week makes plain what the new Clemenceau ministry is seek ing to accomplish in relation to church and state. M. Briand is the minister of public instruction in the new cabi- net, and his speech last week may safely be considered the views of the government. He thus explained the situation:
 What is it that we have desired? What is it that this republican country has de- creed? It has decreed four great things. It has decreed in the first place the ab- solute neutrality of the state among all existing forms of belief, to the extent of forever abolishing all pretense of a state church. It has decreed, in the sec ond place, the abrogation of the Concor- dat, which means the rupture, once and for all, of the tie which has connected it with Rome. It has decreed in the third place to abolish public support of public worship, and subsidizing by the public of the priests of any religion. It has decreed in the fourth place to abolish the privi- lege which, in virtue of the Concordat certain Frenchmen have possessed in their character of priests This means that all French citizens are equal before the law having the same rights and the same duties"
 By a vote of 376 yeas and 9S nays the speech of M. Briand was ordered to be publicly placarded in all parts of France, and this vote goes to show that public sentiment is behind the govern ment.
 The Premier is, however, an oppor- tunist and a skilled politician. He has extended the time in which associa- tions may be formed for taking over church property to December, 1907 an extension of a full year. There is no danger that government will close any churches, no matter how clearly 1t states the principles that control it. In other words, there is to be no persecu- ton of the church, but there is to be a pretty firm adherence in the long run to the law of separation.

From the Washington Post.
 The greatest of bird travellers is pass ing through the United States on his way from Alaska to Patagonia This is a distance of 10000 miles, and the night hawk. or "bill-bat," travels it twice a year to get away from the cold of win ter. When winter begins at Patagonia, South America, he flies away upon his long journey of 10000 miles to the Arctic Circle. When winter begins there he re- turns again to the extreme southern most land in South America. Thus he travels 10000 miles each year in search of climate that suits him, something that few human travellers ever do.
 A few of the advance guard of the main army of these migrating birds have already been seen on their way south They may be seen any evening at twi- light from now until cold weather fiit- ting around, catching insects, but they remain for only one or two evenings and then are off for their winter home What a vast panarama of scenery must this great tourist of the air behold, !, Looking down upon millions of people on towering mountains, beautiful valleys dense forests, mighty rivers and the blue waters of the ocean.
 Nature has so constructed the wings of this bird that it is capable of long periods of flight. It scars through space without any apparent motion of it's wings, and moves with the swftness of 8 speeding arrow.
