Records of the Past
 For many years pottery models of houses have occasionally arrived in nsu- one sould say 's Mhst % they weps Dor nor ao to what period they belonged. During last winter. however, so many of these model houses have been brought to light in Upper Egypt that their origin and development can be fairly exactly
 The model houses came from a large cemetery near Rifeh, in the Nile Val ley. and certainly belonged to the ninth or twelfth dynasty. or about s.Toe to
 Originally the models were placed on the grave to shelter the soul when 1t came out in search of sustenance. Their origin is in the tray of offerings, which. however, were felt to be insut- earth below; so shelter. for the soul was built, apparently copied from the Bedouin tent"
 Later on a small hut. 'iike sentry box" was provided, sometimes con- taining q char: then portico. was roof. and canopy and shelter from the sun added above the waterS tank, which had from very early times been h part of the offerings.
 In time a whole upper story was also added. with veranda along the back of the roef. and wind-openlnys and then furniture began to be added.
 In the latest models of soui-shelters there is couch in the front portico, to get the coolest air at night low down, and chair on the upper floor. to avoid the dust and hot air from the ground during the day. In some models there Is also a stool, and beneath the staircase leading 10 bread, with a large water-jar by her side,

we voted a Conner ticket straight and have long since been sorry for it. penitently remarks The Headland Post. Well, we are told that "an honest confession is good for the soul" and our wire-grass contemporary is doubt less feeling very much better. As to that matter The Post is not lonesome, by a long lap. All over Alabama there are to be found numbers of good men who voted the same way and have seen what a gold brick they got by the operation, The next best thing to be- ing right is to admit having been wrong.

 If they wanted to get mad. why let them get mad The votes they had were not worth considering. Win he laugh at the protest of The Farmers Union? He certainly will not If any newspaper reporter should carry him the editorial from The Guide and ask him for an expression; the news paper man would never get the story that he had when the Governor was shown the protest of the business men. The Governor laughed when he saw the protest. He said it was the best joke of the year..
 The Executive humor is of a dis- eriDinating kind. It would never in the world see a joke in protest from any body of men having as many votes as the Farmers Union. It was a great joke when a few commercial bodies protested. but there is nothing funny about protest that comes from an or- ganization with the voting strength of the Farmers Union.
 The Governor and his apologists laughed at the resolutions of the busi- ness men saying "They are dominated by the railroads" Now. win the ad- ninistration and it's sateliites. say that the Farmers Union which has done the same thing as the Commercial Clubs. is dominated by the railroads. because 1t protests7 Not while the Farmers Union has so many votes. The Guides editorial is filled with strong meat from top to bottom. The truest of the many true things it says is this sentence;
 "The farmers did more to help elect him than any other class of people," The oId-fashioned "gold-brick game" has fallen into innoeuous desuetude, because of the intelligence and in- formation of the Americae farmer. de no longer goes to New York to buy green goods" or gold brick. But the trAae in gold bricks has only changed it's scene. The farmer gets his gold brick now in politics. when he lends a sympathetic ear to the heated denuhciation of the political agitator. who seeks to win office by arranging class against class.
 The Alabama farmer who was prom ised so many wonderful things in the campaign, can smile even in his disap- pointment at the cause of the present administration, when he compares him self to the gentleman who has just re- turned from New York, and has un- rolled the wrappings of the "goid brick,' which he had bought at such brought home in his carpet bag.

 Aud tor Brandon shows that tbe present Legislature has cost the tax more than $50,0eO beyond thai of anv other Legislature the State ever had and now it is called together again to gobble up the tax money as it is sent n from the various counties. Yet we see governor Conner parad ng before the people as Reformer-as a re- queer of taxat on-but no such hurtfui leg station to this State was enacted even during the dark days of recon structlon, when our legislative halls were filled with ignorant negroes and unprincipled carpet-baggers. It is a true statement and we blush for our party when we review the reckless deeds recorded against our present Legislature. The Constitution has been used as a rope of sand, and Governor Corners ring master has openly ad- Vocated class legislation.

Great. complicated and far-reaehins are some judicial opinions.

Correct Labels Hereafter.

RAItfmOF4
 Housekeepers are interested in the fact that with october 1 began the era of labels on canned goods and drugs ''correct in every particular" There was a severe night for notifications of this requirement. of the pure food law, but the Federal authorities have stuck to the right principles, and hereafter a failure to use correct labels will be an infraction of the law. "Stockers'' over old labels will be permitted for a time. but erroneous statements in old labels will have to be hid or erased in the ease of goods entering into inter state commerce. There was complaint that loss would occur in not using la- bels on hand. but such loss will be small and the gain for the public at large. Manufacturers of canned goods andAdrugs will doubtless, as rule. re- joice in the changes reqpired by the pure food law.

 Exeter. Mass, Oct, 16--Further in uuiry into the injury of Theodore Roosevelt. IT,. in the game with Phil lips Exeter Academy Saturday develops a deliberate. conspiracy to "do young Roosevelt up.' and put him out of the game. The alleged reason for doing this was, it is asserted that he had Hthe swell head on account of too much newspaper notoriety.
 This would indicate that Teddy. Jr. is patterning after Teddy. sr., and wants to be the whole thing. If there is one place where such tactics will not go it is among school and college boys They can always find some way to reduce a swelled head to something like it's proper dimensions, ana they are not always real careful as to the methods. If young Teddy has gotten the idea into his head that he can be boss at college he had better get out and hunt bears.
