What the State Papers
 Are Saying and Doing
w,,, Laad fin croUn

Brundidge Record.
 If Pike County didn't head the list she will probably take the lead in the matter of a big crop, That'& what present prospects indicate anyhow. The Three P's. Talladega Mountain Home.
 Lots of good things Tn this world within our reach if we would only be- lieve it. And the potatoes, 'possums and persimons will follow the bullaces. Shameful AnectatiOn, Northport Breeze.
 We join The Troy Messenger in tell ing the girls to write 1t May and not Mae, Carrie and not Carrye. etc. Such spelling of these old names IS an af- fectation that the girls ought to be ashamed of.
 The More, the Better. Union Springs Herald.
 Birmingham and Montgomery both are going to hold State Fairs this fail The more there are, the better for the State, and each county ought to inau- gurate and hold annual county fairs.
 Cotton and Seasons. Ashville Aegis.
 We have had all seasons to ruin the cotton crop. and all other crops. Af- ter the spring devastation came the
 
 hand. We hope "Ole Marster'' will see his way out. and give His murmuring children reasonable set up yet.
 Progressive Houston. Dothan Eagle.
 Houston County has many farmers who have supplied people with their bacon for the last season. They have lots of meat yet, and hardly anything else will do in the place of the wire taste of it. Like Alabama syrup. it's good the world over.
 DispenSary BOOze. Sheffield Standard.
 Thomas L. Harlan, Florence brok- CT. claims that Sheffield dispensary whiskey pade him crazy. The dlspen- sary people deny the allegation and fool when drunk. The late Rev. Sam Jones contended that saloon whiskey would make a jackrabbit spit in a bull dogs face, and We have heard nothing to compare with that in regard to our | dispensary booze
 Drawbacks to PrOSperity. Elba Clipper.
 It is a positive drawback to any sec | tion for any man or set of men to get lot of land that they will not improve or sell at a fair price. They simply hold on and hope to profit by other peoples labor. There should be some way to tax such people out of exist | enee. We should say they are greas- | ing their track to h., but 1t would do no good, because they would not turn | loose an acre of South Alabama land l for the best building lot within the | Eternal City.
 Alabama Farmers. | Gadsden Journal.
 The farmer Is prosperous and the Alabama agriculturist Is getting his i full share of the fruits of good times. | Most of our farmers are out of debt i and are putting money away to make ! farm improvements or other invest ments. For forty years the effects of i the war were a blight on Southern az | ricultrue. but in the last few years | the load has been lifted, the farmer has become independent and his pro- | gress from now on will be the marvel of all.
 More Sessions to Undo Bad Legislation Ashland Standard If our future Legislatures are to bt 1 similar to our last and pass such in l consistent measures as the one put l ting an extra tax on foreign money l semi-annual sessions would be prefera- ble to biennial ones.
 Going Too Far. | Samson Ledger.
 But aside from the Southern and 1t ! troubles. isn't the state going a littl, | too far in denying its citizens, or an! l citizen, the right of appeal to highe tribunals Ana if ths southardn ta t
