Of who shall be the iirs. to start wool

of who shall be the first to start wool hat factory in the South? N
 We do not know whether or not any hats are now made in Alabama of either wool or fur. but previous to the war between the States hat-makers were common In some portions Sf the State, at least. They would take the raw wool and from 1t would form hat that was not only we'll shaped, out it's lasting qualities were almost unlimited, The same may be said of the more rare hats made of the fur of such animals as could be found ins their neighbor- hoods. Of course, this was Il small bnsiness, individually. but in the agRte- gate d great many hats were made, and they were far superior to the cheap machine-made and often shoddy head coverings now sold. We can sec no reason why hat, factories should not flourish in Alabama as we'll as in other portions of the South. They would pay, and the demand for raw material would give encouragement to aheep- raising Who will be first to, start one?

SIDEWALK PENcuNGS
pentructIon of Forertr.

While riding through South Ala bama a day. or two ago, said a we'll known citizen. T noticed hundreds ot acres near the tracks of the Louis7 vile and Nashville Railroad planted with trees. My mind inyoluntarily went back a few years and I remem- bered the magnificent forests of fine pine trees standing where the young trees are. The Louisville and Nash vile Is attempting to build up this section as a timber country again. They should be commended for this, but how much better would it have been if the legislature ten years ago, had enacted a law which would have prevented the wholesale. cutting of trees in that section. The Scandaina vian countries have been furnishing a great part of the worlds lumber for centuries and the great forests are still there. The Scandinavians simply had the foresight to cut their trees in such a manner that the roots would not be killed and no visible impress ion has been made in their forests. It behooves our legislature to pass a forestry law"

 'T do wish that Congress will take no steps toward the dlscountinuance of the fast mail train, known as No. 97, which runs between New York and New Orleans. said railroad man yesterday" This train is a great con venience to the Business men of Mont- gomery and it was hailed with delight when first put on. I would certainly hate to see the old regime come back aud place us where we can't get East ern mail until II a. m.. The train. while facilitating the mail service, Is also a great convenience to persons who want to go to and from Atlanta. lanta. spend one day. and return to Montgomery early the next day with out losing but a few hours from busi- ness. 'I don't see how Congress could have q fast mail from the east to the southwest without running 1t through Montgomery. don't know of any other route that is as short as ours and it would be downright shame to discontinue the train."

When we read the Illustrated ac- counts of the monstrous animals and reptiles that inhabited the earth in prehistoric times, the first thought Is one of thankfuiness that we were not one of the inhabitants of that day, With all our modern weapons of offence and defence, and with all our means of taking life. it would be a continual struggle for existence If such creatures were now common. If there were hu- man beings in those days, we can well imagine what a hard fight 1t was to them to keep from being devoured Such creatures, perhaps, had the earth mostly to themselves. and we are right down glad that they passed before our day.

The Portland oregonian seems some what surprised to find such a general sentiment in the South in favor of Fed eral quarantine. It speaks of the Southern States as the old section of State sovereignty, and wonders at what it considers a change of senti- rnent on the part of the people of this section. We have never understood that the most ultra. advocate of States rights would deny to the general Gov ernment the right to protect all the people against a foreign enemy. and this is the primary object of national quarantine law.
