Currency Reform

A currency reform bill should have been passed in the civil war period but none went through then, nor has one that affords elasticity been passed since, although the subject has been agitated at nearly every session of Congress. At present there are five distinct propositions before the peo- pie, as follows:
 A central bank of issue, modelled along the lines of the Bank of France or the Imperial Bank of Germany.
 A national guaranty of all deposits in national banks, the losses to be met by a tax on such deposits.
 A central organization of national banks to guarantee emergency circula- ton.
 Issue of additional circulation against securities other than United States bonds, such circulation to be taxed heavily.
 Issue of circulation on general as- sets with the security of guaranty fund.
 An assets circulation is favored by Congressman Fowler; circulation based on odd securities by President Roosevelt; central bank by Senator Hansbrough, and a guaranty of de- oosits by Congressman Underwood

The Masonic Home.

''I hope the aasons of the Birmingham district will make an earnest effort to secure the Masonic Widows and Or phans' home for Jefferson county" said member of the fraternity. "Now that the grand lodge has taken literal action that will insure the establishment of the home at an early date, the Masons in this part of the state should organize 8 concerted movement in behalf of the in- stitution,
 ''The home can be made almost self sustaining, provided farm of something like 50 to 75 acres, situated near a large city affording a good market, is a part of the plan. Many offers of sites in vari- ous parts of the state will be made, but with the home in Jefferson county it would have an excellent market for it's farm products-the best market, in fact, In Alabama"

From Current Literature for December.
 From his old friends in the Philippines Mir. Taft received such tributes as fell to Caesar when he rode up the Appian Way after that long absence in Gaul. Somebody had got the new Philippines assembly to hang a picture of William J. Bryan in place of honor on the wall, but William H. Taft did not appear to be paying any special attention to it when, in his opening address he said he did not think the Filipinos would be cap able of government for at least a generation. The assembly had organized by the election of Sergio Osmena as it's first presiding officer This Asiatic type of politician halls from Cebu, where he was governor for some time and where he held sway in sleepy but diplomatic fashion. concealing his secret longing for the independence of his naiive islands. Taft told Osmena that our government has no intention of selling the Philippines to Japan. but he added that Washington will not grant anything like autonomy to Manila. Taft is said to have been in- comprehensible to the majority of the as- sembly when he made his opening speech, a circumstance pointing to the complete defeat of the official effort to bring about the election of a set of delegates who can speak English They are described by the correspondents as a lot of little brown men, voluble for the most part, split into groups of radicals, nationalsts and pro- gressives. quarreling among themselves over points of precedence and punctilio. One of them thought Washington an isl- and of the Pacific. It has been found difficult to lodge these men in Manila owing to the scarcity of houses and the high price of food, The rich Filipinos who live in fine villas and who give big dinners are said to look down upon many members of the new assembly as 8 lot of upstarts. the progressives coming in for moat of this social ostracism.

ALICE PAINTED.
Young Leopard Had Three Teeth
 Pulled Out.

From the New York World.
 Poor Alice suffered such agony that she tainted after three of her teeth were pulled yesterday. They were incisors. three inches long, so the pain must have been excruciating. However, Alice re- vived and after while she sat up and took a little nourishment. a pigeon and a quart of milk the first nourishment she had for three days.
 Alice and her two brothers, Teddy and Nick, are leopards born in the Central Park zoo ten months ago. All of Alice's cub teeth did not drop out to make room for her second ones; her gums became swollen and tender, she could not eat, she lost her amiabe temper.
 So Keeper Snyder and his assistants put Alice in thick canvas bag yesterday, leaving only her head out. They held her jaw open and Snyder pulled the three teeth that had given her the greatest suffering.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1907.

A Miss Riley of Atlanta, had a very
narrow escape from being drowned in
the surf at Wrightsville Beach, Will
mington. N. c., q few days ago. With
several friends she was in bathing
when she drifted out beyond her depth
Young Freeman Yopp, who is employ
ed as a life saver at the beach, but
who at that time was off duty and
seated on an upper piazza of the hotel
saw her Realizing her danger he slid
down a post and ran to the beach'
shedding his clothing as he went.
When he reached the woman she was
rapidly losing control of herself, and
nearly drowned him in her struggles.
Both reached the shore in an almost
lifeless condition. It took half an hour
to revive Miss Riley and it was twen-
ty-four hours before she was consld-
cred out of danger. Young Yopp was
brought around all right, and the pro-
prietor of Hotel Barrymore and guests
made up a purse for the young hero.
The young man showed more daring
and courage than has been seen at
Wrightsville Beach in long time. The
run he made from the hotel was long
and exhausting, and with the frantic
efforts the young lady made, it was
almost a miracle that he was able to
save himself and her.

Letter to Treasurer Nicely
Yorkville, S. G.

Dear Sir: The easiest way we know
of to make a little money is-if you're
going to paint-to paint with the paint
that takes the least gallons.
Take a small job; say 1t takes lO
gallons Devoe, two coats; that's an
average house. When the job is done
and the bill comes-in, it is $50; the
paint etc $3.50; the rest is for labor
and carriage: the labor is fixing the sur
face, shifting ladders scaffOlds pulleys
and ropes, and brushing-on paint.
Take another job exactly like that:
try another paint: ii takes IL gallons.
The bill is SO more. Take another eX-
actly the same; another paint; 1t takes
20 gallons. The bill is 500.
There is only one Devoe: there's a
dozen 12-gallon paints, and 100 that
take 20 gallons to cover a 1O-gallon job.
The only difficulty is in finding-out
Devoe. After that you save work;
there's less work in 10 than in II or
20 gallons; less paint to buy and less
to brush-on and less wages to pay.
II Devoe were only a little better
than others, there'd be some difficulty
in finding-out the difference. 1t goes
twice as far as half the paints; that
ought to be easy.
1t wears longer too. You'll wait a
good while. If you wait to find-out how
long II wears: there are thousands OF
people who know that the least-gal-
Ions paint wears longest.
Yours truly
&c F. w DEVOE & co
]. j. Keller & Co. sell our paint.
