To the present time no fender has
been adopted that is infallible in its
action. Many patterns have been put
to the test on dummies and animals

danger they have nearly all been
found wanting In one respect or an
other; some part had failed to work.

Two OF the Island only, most of our
time being spent on the island OF
Oahu, on which Honolulu is situated.
We went pretty much all over that
island, but | also took five days
horseback trip on the Island of Maui,
and went down into and rode round
upon the floor of the crater of that
gigantic extinct volcano. II is thirty
miles around the inside OF It, Think
of II: the whole city of New York, the
entire island of Manhattan, could be
placed In that crater. | rode in over
a mountain and down a shifting sandy
incline into the great valley that is
the mouth of the largest crater in the
world.
Some of the scenery ! saw on the
Islands was the finest that have ever
looked upon, immense picturesque wa

height, wonderful cliffs and precipices,
and over all the great beauty of trop-

tropical vegetation.

Hawaiian scenery interested me most.

"This is My 86th BirthdGy''
AIexander F. Stewart.

Gen. Alexander P. stewart, the ranking officer of the Confederate arr my, was born in Hawkins county, Ten nessee. Oct. 21, 1921. After completing his early education in Tennessee, he was sent to the military academy at West Point and was graduated from that institution in 1S42. Ranking third in his class, he was at once ap- pointed second lieutenant in the United States artillery. Later he serv- ed for a time as an instructor at West Point, but resigned his position and returned to Tennessee on account of delicate health. At the outbreak of the Civil war he was one of the ear- Hest volunteers in the Confederate arr my. After the battle of Belmont he was appointed a brigadier general. At the battle of Shiloh he commanded a division after Gen. Charles Clark had been wounded. In 1863 he became a major general and commanded a division in Hardee's corps throughout the operations in Middle Tennessee and during the retreat to Chattanooga. At the battle of Chickamauga the d. vision commanded by General Stewart was distinguished by conspicuous ser vice, and again at Missionary Ridge the division took a prominent part in the conflict In 1864 General Stew art served with his division through out the battle of Atlanta. Since the war General Stewart has made his home in Chattanooga.

SHORT AND CORRECT.

Owen Wister, in a recent magazine article, devoted to graft and its results in Pennsylvania, concludes with the suggestive remark: Pennsylvania to- day is a government of knaves at the expense of fools" That is a pretty se- were indictment, but there Is much of truth in it. The State is in the hands of corrupt politicians, and the people who elected them knew of their evil character and habits when they were voting for them. The Republican or ganization in Pennsylvania has for years been corrupt from centre to cir conference. and the people know 1t. but they were so dominated by politics and politicians that they continued the same gang, or some of like kind, in office, well knowing the character of men into whose hands they were en- trusting the affairs of government which intimately concerned them and their interests.
 III tnIS rSopeCI' th0 PSOPle WHO uphSAu members of the gang by electing chem to ofiice may not improperly be catlel fools. and they are paying the price of their foolishness by being taxed to make good the stealage of their of- fcials. It is not an unusual thing for the people to elect bad man to of- flee without knowing 1t at the time Inc y vote for him. and in such cases they are not to be blamed. but when they continue to elect men who have shown themselves unworthy of trust, 1t shows that if Wister's short definition of the situation is not absolutely correct. it lacks little of it.

EAT WHAT YOU WANT
Science Has Now Found the True Way
 To Cure Indigestion.

A few years ago, when a sufferer from Indigestion went to a stomach specialist. the result was a rigid diet list that almost meant starvation.
 But the first thing to do in the case of indigestion or stomach weakness is to strengthen the muscular walls of the stomach and intestines. so that they will care for the food that is eaten. In no other way can this be done as we'll as by taking a Mi-o-na tablet be- fore each meal. This restores strength to the stomach muscles and stimulates the pouring out of gastric juices, 30 that the food is digested readily and its nourishmsnt retained Tn the system to build up energy and vitality.
 Do not think the sick headache, heartburn, bad taste in the mouth. coated tongue. spots before the eyes, sleeplessness and the many other symptoms that are the direct result of indigestion. will go away of themselves The stomach must be built up and strengthened by Mi-o-na before you can be we'll and strong. free from suf- fsring and distress
 The guarantee that Fowler gives with every 50-cent box of Mi-o-na, tc refund the money unless the remedy cures, shows his confidence in the traatnAn1

SEEING THINGS.

The Portland Oregonian, stalwart Re- publican though it is, cannot keep in line with some of it's party contcmpo- raries who are always breaking out in abuse of the South and the race ques- tion. The oregonian says;
 We cannot have discontent among and race wars; so we shut the door to keep the peace. It is useless to argue with this trait of human na- siderable force; but when 1t is &C., centuated and emphasized by color, there is no composition with it.
 It is probable that S race prejudice, planted fer a wise purpose. though at times it assumes features base and re- pulsive. But man, whether white or man, and all are entitled to justice and peace and protection. But to gain these ends it is necessary to keep the working classes of these opposite races from active competition with each other.
 The Oregonian was discussing the recent race troubles at Vancouver. Brit ish Columbia, with Japanese and Chi nese. But" remarks The Washington IbIuest II tHe PiHCAPAS II duNdHcSS finds general favor in the North. It may be the South will obtain permis- sion from the rest of the country to solve' its 'discontent among our peo- pie. according to its best judgment. and without the help of high and mighty moralizing from people so' far away from the trouble they wouldn't recognize 1t if it slapped them in the face" That is good talk, though we hardly expect our Republican brethren up North to pay any heed, to it. To critIcise and condemn the Southern people for doing what they do when there is occasion for It, is more in their way.

Letters to The Editor
Rev. Bob Jones's Birthplace. kav Gsh si~r.r&laar.


 Editor The Advertiser:
 In your paper of recent date. you state that Rev. Bob Jones was born in Houston County, near Dothan.
 The writer has nothing against the Metropolis of the Wire Grass section of Alabama, nor the county in which 1t Is located, but on the contrary loves and is proud of them, but cannot al- low misstatement as to the birth place of Mir. Jones, even to please our good neighbors.
 MT. Jones is the son of friend of the writer--fhe late Mr. Alex Jones, and was born in Dale county, of which fact we are too proud to let misstate- ment as to his birthplace, go unchal- lenged. Certainly we are proud of MT. Jones. True he weighs but about one hundred and thirty pounds, but what he lacks in avoirdupois. he makes up in grit and goodness. Yes since he was boy ih knee pants, he has been fight ing his Masters battles, and has van- quished the devil and his aids upon many we'll fought fields. We claim him. We will never give him up.
 All are pleased with the article on Col. O,Hara. There was but one thing lack ing-a publication of the poem The Bivouac of the, Dead"
 Please give it to us.

NO ALABAMA ,aAcHrNE.

A Northern magazine has sent q muckraker into Alabama and other southern states to show how they have been rescued recently. The young man stopped off between trains in Birminz-
 ham and transfxed with his eagle eye the scattered remnants of the Ala bama Machine" Then in an esctacy of adjectives he describes the wonderful feat of Governor Conner. who in the language of the word Juggler. crushed a corporation machine which had held great State helpless for generation" :"
 New anybody who knows political any Governor refused to take advsntage of his opportunities to build politl- cal machine. that Governor was Will Ham D. Jelks. He knows that if ever | a man ran for Governor without the support of machine. that man was Russell M. Cunningham. who made his race without even committee. and any man who writes to the contrary de- ceives either in ignorance or in inten- tional misrepresentation.
 There was ncachine, but M. Corner did not crush ii why should he when he had built it with so much labor aud expense7 No, the Governor did rot crush t: he took it and rode int, of- fee on 1t.
 Tte credu'sns word-s'inger had an. interview with the Governor. rhs inc terview would have been more in.er- csring if the Governor had told h:m Of tho Merchants. Farmers and Lan.re.s Association. and its Birmingham head quarters.
 The young man might have learned of those struggling merchants, fighting through political channels for lower freight rates and bigger progts-mer- chants whose check for q hurcfcd thousand dollars was as good as the
 money. What pastoral picture he could have aiawn of the frugal and ir-
 dustrious farmer, putting in a days
 work at harvesting in a gilt and ma hogany office in one of the Birmingham skyscrapers! What touching descrip- tion could have been written of these Jay laborers, refreshed with a nisn. sicer, hufly,ne to their toll in big au- tcmobiles. with chaffeurs at their s,de; Yes there was machine. but tte Governor did not crush it. Some half dozen sentieTen. struggling mersaanis. Lsky-scraper farmers and automobile day laborers, wh" united to rescue" the stato hold easy offices with fat sain- ries. The Merchants. Farmers and I,a- borcrs' Asss cihtion is quiesceut nos dead, but sleeping. It would seem that so noble and patriotic an orga aization as 1t represented itself to be, would have work to do the year around, but now that the political fight has been won and the ofices parceIled out. the Association appears to have no work to do.
 Fut the records are safe. the corre- sronde nee is under lock and key. wl,en the Ltxt campaign opens and more of- fccs aye to be filled. the Ass ociation will be qrickened into life by a new politi- cal impulse
