The following unusual note of de spair is sounded by The Norfolk Land mark The citizens of Norfolk have really more concern in the Democratic primary campaign which has just be- gun than in the Presidential fight oi next year The primary campaign real ly means more to them because they can decide it and it immediately af- fleets their home government. Politi- cal conditions in the naton are such that our voice in the Presidential elee- ton amounts to nothing at this time"

The Philadelphia Record says that 'in Colorado industrial disputes are stnl conducted with dynamite. though not much has been heard from the State for a year or two. Two railroad men have confessed that they set a fire which exploded dynamite and killed and injured many persons and destroyed half million dollars worth of property. During a discussion of the Colorado Southern strike the sug- gestion was made that the crowd should set fire 50 some of the com pany's property, The suggestion was immediately applied to caboose. and the fire reached a car load of dyna- mite. If the explosion were an acci- dent, the incendiarism was premedi- tated crime"

The Springfield Republican has ma

The Springfield Republican has made curious study of the number of members of the Massachusetts Legis- lature that are reelected. with com parisons with former years. Thus. in 17so there were 171 members, of whom 10s, or 63.7 per cent, were reelected from the previous year In 1900 the percentage of the reelected was 54; in 1s1o, Ar. and so on till 1900. when only out of 252, or 2.s per cent, were reelected. Tn 1907 the percent age has risen to four, that is to say, ten members out of total of 252. By the way" says The Louisville Courier Journal. what use has so small a State as Connecticut for 252 lawmak- CTS? There must be scheme there to send every citizen of the majority party to the Legislature at least once during his life. and this may account for the few that are reelected"

Good Record in Climbing.

Montgomery is climbing more suc- cessfully in material improvements than in baseball. The Vandiver Build- ing and the New Exchangehotel--seven stories up, the Gay-Teague hotel--ten stories elevation, the First National Bank building, twelve stories skyward, and now the N. J. Bell office building, fourteen stories towards the clouds, and in less than two years, is a good record in climbing.

How To Buy Ice Cream.

 %The ice cream boy at Camp Conner; has been doing a land office business, said an officer of the lst regiment yes terday. He generally makes his ap- pearance w4sh a large supply of frozen cakes after dress parade. when the boys are all overheated after executing the exercises.
 The boys, though played nice joke on the Ice cream boy the other day. A crowd of fellows from camp spied the wagon first ande caught 1t as soon as it reached the camp lines. Our, boys had fifty cents between them and the problem was how to get enough ice- cream to satisfy all of them. one of them. to whom had been entrusted the care of he half dollar. gave the boy the money and was given ftfty cents worth of cakes.
 The boy had on one of these loose fitting coats with fiaring sidepockets in one of which he deposited his change He put the half dollar in one of these pockets It was easy matter for one of the soldiers to slide pp to his side and jerk out the half while he was serving the cakes.
 ice-cream vender that they desired to buy another fifty cents installuaent or cream No sooner said than done. The boy again deposited the same half In his pocket and 1t was snatched out by another soldier. who purchased an ad- dit.onal half dollars worth. This per- formance was continued until the ice cream man sold out his stock entirely.
 .' Are you coming back tomorrow? asked one of the soldiers.
 " Yes, sir,' haughtily declared the boy He felt in his pocket to find that he had only fifty cents Immediately he changed his mind.
 No sir he meekly said.' I guess I won't be back tomorrow. came out here with eight dollars worth of ice cream and haven't got but fifty cents.
 The soldiers kept the boy in the dark for some time and, after they had carried the joke far enough, they let him know 1t. He game the next day, and was paid the back debt, besides selling out his supply at handsome premium. He was amply repaid for the joke"

Pickett Springs.

Pickett Springs.
 'Montgomery's attachment for Pick cit Springs is something remarkable" said an observant citizen yesterday, as he watched thousands of Montgomer- fans crowding on cars bound for that popular resort. And this attachment is entirely natural
 Pickett Springs is linked with Montgomery's history and progress The first fairs ever held in Edontgom- cry were held at Pickett Springs. There old Montgomery watched horse racing in all its glory and witnessed the great exhibits of Alabama's industry when the State was merely budding.
 Pickett Springs is associated With much beloved Montgomery family. There Alabama's historian, Albert Pickett. lived and there his family dis pensed old-time Southern hospitality in way that is now rare.
 Other parks have come and gone. Pickett Springs has frequently waned. It has never received the monetary contributions that other resorts have. But Montgomery soon tires of any oth- CT place than the Springs Montgom- erians want to be there. They appre- CT the park managements realize the tie that binds Pickett Springs to Mont gomery, the sooner will they be finan~ clally benefited"
