They were both gray, and wrinkied and black, and there was about them the unmistakable atmosphere of the Old South Both sat upon the steps or the court house, where one of them has seen service for twenty-two years, and the conversation naturally turned to the days when they were young, and the difference in the mode then and as it is found now. The particular cause, for the comparison of the pres ent with the past, was the passing of an autmobile, the ill-smelling clarion of progressS
 One of these old ante-bellum darkies was Dennis Cross, the veteran Janltor at the court house, and the other was his good friend, Eli Reed, formerly a slave belonging to the famous Payne family of the bottom lands of Alabama.

ARMORY THRONG EXCEEDS RECORD Estimated to be Twenty Per Cent. in Excess of Ex- position Attendance
 Last Year.
MANY GOOD SCORES
 AT COURIER SHOOT
Mechanical Exhibits of Telau- tograph, Linotype and Miss Fritz's Speed Typewrit-
 ing Make Hits.

The old saying. "All roads lead to Rome" if brought nearer home could at this time be changed to "All roads lead to the Business Mems exposi- tion." Again last evening was the state armory thronged with sight-seers. Fully $500 people were in the hall at 8 o'clock, and by g it was estimated that there were 4,0OO persons present. So crowded was the front lobby with persons trying to get wihin reach of the ticket office on each side that those who had previously secured tickets could hardly force their way through the jam. The record attendance thus far this year eclipses by a good deal the records of the previous years, One member of the committee having the fair in charge said that the attendance so far is about 20 per cent. better than that of last year, and he expected that the percentage would be greater to- wards the end of the week.
 Here and there, and everywhere, were the gentlemen on the various committees of the Business Mems as- sociation.
 Much credit must be given to the men who have so successfully engi- t neered this years fair. It has meant weeks of work to bring their projects to a successful culmination.
 The main feature yesterday after noon was the lecture by Mrs. Linda Ross Wade. She spoke on "Poise- Mental and Physical" The Foot Guard rooms were used as a lecture hall, and were crowded with women to hear Mrs. Wade's discourse.
 Mrs. Wade's talk was particularly di- rected to boise as one of the most necessary features of good appearance in woman. Poise is the principal thing in physical culture, the proper balance of body can only be attained by prop CT boise, and that boise should be gained by standing ana walking on the balls of the feet. Breathing and stand. ing properly does more to keep a good figure or remedy a bad one than any amount of other exercise.
