Senatorial Succession

Alabama Is an appreciative state" said man of affairs. Our people seldom fail in making good efforts wisely directed.
 "The referendum idea seems to pre- vail. It has named two Senator's to succeed the two deceased. Both are strong men-both practical and both will make real servants of the people. Both possess In an eminent degree legislative and executive ability, and both understand the needs of this state. Politically, neither Is an ex- tremist, and neither too narrow to cope with questions of importance, where moral courage is necessary and where practical application of business methods Is essential to the material affairs of the state and the nation.
 Two mighty men have fallen from the list of Alabamians; but their places can and will be filled. Provi- dence arranges these matters, and the people are jealous of the charge re- posed in those who follow. There Is to be an accounting, and the trust re. ro-cd is great In proportion, enormous in responsibility and acute In expect ancy.
 We shall see what we shall see. The cloak is a heavy one which falls upon the shoulders of Morgan's suc- cessor and the mantle not less so that descends from the form of Senator Pettus.'

Not Epidemic

The statement of Dr. Hardness, city health officer, before the Jeffer- son County Medical society Monday night, touching the typhoid fever sit. uation in Birmingham, was decidedly reassuring. Nearly every city in the land seems to be affected with typhoid this summer, but 1t is of a milder type than usual It is certainly not malig. nant here. As Dr. Hardness stated, there are quite a number of cases in Birmingham, but there is nothing like an epidemic.
 Hardly a summer passes without typhoid fever, and 1t is nothing like as serious this season as 1t was a few years ago.
 The petition to the legislature signed by Birmingham physicians for the pur- pose of aiding the Greater Birmingham movement was worded too strongly. In fact. it was alarming and should never have been made public, even in the interest of what the petitioners regarded as a good cause. The paper referred to should have been confined

A MILLION A MONTH.
August 5elmont's Reported Profits From Subway Holdings In Year.

The truth of that old saying quoted by the farmers wife as them that has gits!" is again strikingly shown by the immense profits of one of New York's multi millionalres.
 The lucky. man this time was August Belmont, who financed the building of the New York Subway in 'panicky' times, when nobody else in Wall street wanted to touch 1t.
 Belmont evidently foresaw more clearly than experienced traction men the won derfu transit possibilities of New York, says the Broadway Magazine. He was more than the practical man; he was more than the dreamer; he was both, for he gave the city its much-needed, long, delayed Subway.
 As for the situation today, judged purely from a financial standpoint. 1t must be generally admitted that, however burden ed the Interborough-Metro compa- ny may be today the citys tremendous increase of traffic will within few years place that company upon sound divi- dend paying basis. When that happens and cold, hard figures say 1t must-Au- gust Belmont and associates will reap a golden harvest.
 From 1904 to 1905, previous to the Metro politan merger, the stock of the Interbor- ough company scared from S2 to 223, and several big fortunes were made on the rise. Belmont's wealth during the period of nearly one year is said to have in creased at the rate of one million dollars a month

General Pettus and Mob.

T always regarded General Pettus and Senator Voorhees, as the two largest men I had ever seen.' said gentleman familiar with public life.
 They were both of heroic mould in double sense; great towering person. alities with large massive heads and big brain.
 T always looked on General Pettus as the biggest man have seen. be- cause of an incident I saw in my young manh ood. When the mob of negroes. think twas in 1872, dragged a white man through the streets of Selma. who had killed negro. and everybody was alarmed. the white women especially. General Pettus. over six feet in height With Capt. William c. Ward by his side lead posse of about one hundred determined men to disperse the mob. He was calm and steady and impress siye man of but few words, but like Achilles his look was great part of the contest, If contest the was
 General Morgan prosecuted the ring leaders of this mob and from that dav white rule has prevailed in Dallas county, with a population of four negroes to one white person."

Our Public Utilities

In this far-flung Jones Valley, ex- tending from East Lake and Gate City to Bessemer and Ensley, trolley sys- tenn Is a public blessing. All are in- clined to accept everyday occurrences as things that come without effort as a matter of course, and this habit is freely applied to the excellent service of the yellow cars with their modest fares. As a matter of fact, the pros perity of nineteen municipalities and thrice as many lesser communities in Jones Valley owe their prosperity to the admirable system that President Jemison has built up.
 No city has better system, not one. Some cities have smaller headways and some have all-night cars but not one has f1rmer tracks, better switches or a more trustworthy overhead power system. If we were not hardened by daily use to these conyeniences we would appreciate them. The older people who remember what went be- fore the present system are apprecia- tive, for they know the difference be- tween a poor service and a service that Is kept up to the highest stand ard

Signs of Prosperity

The cereal crops and the cotton crop are not to be of the bumper sort thls year, but it is pretty well estab- lished that the outturns of wheat, corn, oats and hay, as well as cotton, will be pretty well up to the ten-year average. Last May this did not seem possible, but the favorable interven- ing season has brought 1t nearly in sight. This means not only full pock- cts among the farmers, but deal of business for the railroads and the factories. It means, in short, contin- uance of prosperity.
 The bumper crop of last year led to congestion on the railroads. It was a swapping year, was 1906, and the prospect Is that the crops of 1907 wlli be just large enough to be handled expeditiously and to insure good prices.
 This is why the period of depression is passing away and a feeling of firm and conservative optimism is taking its place. Mills are kept busy and railroad gross receipts are maintained me banks are heeled for the demand that comes in the harvest season, and every branch of legitimate business will be duly served. Speculators of Wall street will have to wait. and no one will regret the fact that the coun- try Is not to be afflicted this year with Wall street flurries. The speculator will get no inning this year, but gen. eral trade will hold It's own, and pros- perity promises now to be evenly maintained throughout the calendar year.

WHEN PETTUs WENT WooINe

From the Nashville Tennessean.
 Senator Pettus married a daughter of Hon. Samuel Chapman, a prominent clti- zen of Sumter county. To Selma friend Senator Pettus in his old age told beau- tiful story of her, who blessed lis life for more than half century.
 "Yo sec" said Senator Pettus. 'as I was boy I was inclined to be wild and a little rough When I fell in love with her I went to her and told her. She said
 "'Why, you are only a rough boy. You haven't an idea of what life means. You have not even taken the trouble to get arf education.
 'I knew she spoke the truth. When I left her I formed a determinat ton. would get an education if 1t were pos sible to get one. Without my mothers help and sacrifice 1t would have been im- possible, but she gladly helped and she gladly made the sacrifice.
 By her sacrifices I went to Tennessee to school and I studied as no boy ever studied before. In time I finished I rode home from Tennessee on a pony after that long aDseuce' AS ureW near her house I turned my pony and drove by her door. She was at work among her flowers. l hurried through the gate to where she was and as I met her, I said:
 "T am no longer a rough and unedu- oated boy. have gotten my education What Is your answer?'"
 Her answer made possible that beau tiful wedded lffe that aytended over the joys and sorrows of more than fifty years.

Ten Years More of Prosperity

This district did remarkably well in the ten years covered by the indus trl edition of The Age-Herald issued today Ten years ago we mined but b,893.771 tons of coal; this year our coal production will be carried beyond 1y,000,000 tons, gain of over 150 per cent. Ten years ago our stacks turned out but 947,83l tons of pig iron; this year we bid fair to reach a production of nearly 1,800,O0O tons. Here is a ssin of nearly 100 per cent.
 These gains are but a prelude, an intimation, of what is to come, for n the coming years the tides of immi- grafton will perforce be turned to. wards the south simply because cheap lands will not then be found in other sections of the country. Two-thirds of the southern states are unculti- vated, and immigrants will In the next ten years seek these uncultivated lands, partly because of their cheap ness, and partly because of the un- surpassed climate and agricultural possibilities of the south.
 Nor Is this all. The Panama canal will be completed in the next ten years, and the fast-rising river im- provement movement will be largely turned this way, simply because the great central west will demand low rates to tho sea and to the Panama canal. The Tennessee river will be funy opened to navigation and the old channel to the sea from the great bend at Guntersville to the Warrior wil be restored by the general gov ernment.
 Who can measure what all this means to the south? The outlook of the south ern states was never brighter than it is today. The gulf ports and the Cen tral West are the fulcrums from which will spring a marvellous prosperity of the south in the next ten years, and the biggest optimist we have may underestimate what is plainly headed towards us in the coming decade. True, we made in the last ten years 103,O00, 900 bales of cotton, gain over the preceding ten years of 31,000,0O0 bales and of $1,2OO0O0 in valuation, but when all the south is tiled these figures will look small indeed, and the world will stand ready in the years 10 come to take all the cotton and all the pig iron we can make.

THE LAND OF USED TO BE-

Beyond the purple, hazy trees Of summers utmost boundaries; Beyond the sands, beyond the seas. Beyond the range of eyes like these. And only in the reach of the Enraptured gaze of memory There lies the land long lost to me.
 The land of Used to Be. A land enchanted, such as swing In golden seas when sirens cling Along their dripping. brinks and sung To Jason in that mystic tongue That dazed men with its melody; Oh. such a land with such a sea, Kissing its shores eternally,
 Is the fair Used to Be. A land where music ever girds The air with bells of singing bird. And sews all sounds with such sweet
 word That even in the lowing herds A meaning lives so sweet to me; Lost laughter nipples impidly From lips brimmed OCT with all the slee
 Of rare old Used to Be. O land of love ard dreamy thoughts, And shining fields and shady spots, Of coolest, greenest grassy plots, Embossed with gild forget-me-nots, And all the bloom that cunningly Lift their faces up to me
 Out of the past; I kiss in thee
 The lips of Used to Be. I love ye all, and with wet eyes Turned glimmeringly on the skies, My blessings, like your perfumes, rise Till OCT my soul a silence lies. Sweater than any song to me, Sweeter than any melody
 Or its sweet echo, yea all three,
 My dreams of Used to Be.

UNIQUE FIGURE GONE.
Senator Pettus One of the South's
 Last Links With the Past.

From the New York Tribune
 As the patriarch of the senate MT Pettus had a congenial and conspicious role, filling it to the edification and de- light of his colleagues. He did not suc- ceed fin connecting his name with great enterprises and policies as MT. Morgan did; but he was an alert and industrious legislator whose opinions were sought and valued. He had no oratorical vanity. and his long experience had taught him to husband his speech. But when he en- gagged in debate his homely. pungent and natural humor delighted and often con- vulsed the senate. He was kindly. genial, sincere, and simple. free from affecta- tions, and a hater of shams in theory or contradictions of the past recalling It's vanished traditions and associations, its outward and inward life, he can have no successor.

Dangerous Crossinqs.

And a little child shall lead them," was thoroughly demonstrated yesterday. when faInily-grandfather and grand mother, with two little girls were cross ing Second avenue at the intersection of Nineteenth street. Said the girl of ten: Hurry across. grandma. or you may get hurt There was not much hurry, but there was much uneasiness on the part Of that child. who had already crossed the danger line. Said she: Grandma, a woman was killed at this crossing. not long ago. just on account of slow movement. and I was afraid you would be. Please watch your way. while in town and put on the quick step."
 This was tho voice and the warning Of country child and this observer thought her wise beyond her years.
