 A report of the work of the attorney generals office mace some time since, wrltten by Mir Martin, brought him very much into prominence not only for the statistical matter he was able to gather but for some of tne weaknesses of the judicial system If the state iSointed cut. Judge William II. Thomas of the city court of Montg omery, referred in very complimentary way to this report in 8 re cent address at Nashville. and later in a report fer the committee on judicial administration and remedial procedure before the Alabama far association. Mr. Martin was also highly complimented by MT. Wiscn, when he retired from the office. He related that teing sick much of the last year the work fell on the assistant who held 1ewn the office in splendid way.
 Race In Sehant.
 There is going tc be a sorappy time in the Second district, the objective point being the seat of Congressman Wiley in Washington. The resignation of Chan CellOr W. l..

Brieken, solicitor and military man All the time Colonel Wi ley Is to be reckoned with, as he Is not going to let the job g. by default, if he knows himself. So the fight is practi- caly on
 There was report that Will Hodge Samford Of Troy, would get busy and make the race, but q man whc thinks he knows what he Is talking about re- lates that he will not enter the fight against Judge Parks.

He had the money and was ready tG ante but there was some misun6 erstandinG about the time and he get in tso late.
 Hall is likely to inject the spectacular into the race. He Is a business man of Montg emery, hard fighter and man who has made money where others would have failed. He has il way of getting what he wants an1 there arc many who predict that he will make it warm Tor all the others in the Serond district race Parks is pretty lively AS 2 hghter and ought to be able to make this one of the most aggressive of races

The astronomer La Place looked with disapproval upon expensive expeditions for measuring the size and shape of the earth, for he believed that astronomers could find this with greater accuracy by merely watching from their observatories the path of the moon among the stars The theory of the moons motion Is not yet perfect enough, however to permit the highest accuracy to be reached in this way.

Gardner Succeeds Parks.


 With the retirement of William l.. Parks, chancellor for this district, who goes out today, Luclen Gardner, by ap- pontment of Gov B. B. Comer takes his place. Troy therefore, loses a senator and promising young practitioner at the bar. Andalusia secures the retiring chan cellor for a lawyer and Congressman A. A. Wiley has in the latter fighter for an opponent in the race for Congress next time.
 About the same time Henry StegaIl will become solicitor of the third circuit. leaving the bar of Dothan to take up state work, to be succeeded by William Garner of Ozark, who will be elected on September 2S, to represent the county in the legislature. This much is now con- ceded. as is also the election of John Gamble of Troy to the senate to succeed Gardner. All these places are to be filled by men of the dominant sentiment of poli- ties in the state at this time.

FOR DECORATION OF HOUSE.
New Ideas That Have Sense OF In
dividuality.

Perhaps this is a bit out Of the regu.
lar order of things, but these ideas
seemed to me 50 good and practical
that ! thought the department readers
should hear of them.
The young daughter of the house
had brought home from time to timc
specimens Of her watcr-color work at
school which were all done on the
same sized paper and all were flower
subjects.
They were so good that with a
mothers inspiration she decided to
make them into a frcizc for the child's
room. Accordingly, they were put up.
separated by inexpensive molding in
to panels; the side walls were a plain
gray cartridge paper. 80 the effect was
decidedly harmonious and pleasing.
Then 20 shut ont the view of a too
observing ncighhor the window sill
was covered by a board that Just
fittcd, then this board was coated with
n good thickness of cement, which
was obtained from some obliging
workmcn who were laying a walk
In the vicinity. IN this cement a row
Of decorative cheap English ware
plates were imbcddcd and on these
plates poticd plants stood, making a
most beautiful and effective screen.
In front Of the lavatOry in this same
room thcr" was II t~hrcc-quarters
screen made from strips of u~nbleached
muslin. on which blue prints were
pasted illustrating trips taken, and
the many scenes in which the fam y
had participated.

ciitOr, spend ~ dollars at home.
keep them at home. and we have or.
ganized a trust of our own that will
bring to each of Us our share of earn.
inGs on the capital invested.
This Is not Il hard problem to figure
ont for ourselves. The farmer, let
us say, wants "A dollars worth of
sugar. He buys II Of the home gro.
ccryman. and the groccryman makes
a rrofit. The groccryman buys a dol.
lars worth OF dry goods, and the dry
goods merchant makes a profit. The
dry goods merchant patronizes the
dentist, and the dentist makes 4
proiit, and the dentist buys butter and
produce from the farmer and the
farmer makes a prOn'. So as the
dollar goes around and around a com.
munity each man into whose keeping
1t comes makes a profit on the han
ding Of 1t, and the dollar grows into
two. But what would have happened
had the farmer taken that dollar to
buy his groceries Of the mail.ordcr
house, or the g~rOccryman sent II to
the city for his dry goods? The
trust organization Of the community
would have been broken. that dollar
would have ceased to earn profits for
the people Of the community. but

Take, for example, the wearing of
widows caps. Why do widows cover
their heads with these curious little
arrangements of malinc, crepe and
lace? II Is a custom handed down to
us from the Romans. who shaved their
heads when they mourncd the loss OF
a dear one. This idea was all right

without q single spear Of hair on their
heads. but Of course IL was most I'M.
