SATURDAY, OCTOBER na, 1907.

Referring to Colonel crawford's de- nunciation of Joe Bailey The Chatta- nooga Times says:
 The Montgomery Advertiser sug- gests that this language would seem to furnish ground for argument at least, and so it would and something more perhaps in Alabama or Tennes- see. But, alas. down in Texas. honor and chivalry. once held in such high repute, seems to have fallen in the sere and mollycoddle leaf, while the language of the gutter appears to have become the medium for the exchange of compliments among the first gentle men of the State. Texas may boast Of the "dimpled widows,' it's "'possum Hard" and It's bumper cotton crops, but until it mends it's vocabulary, gets tighter grip upon the accountability of honorable gentlemen and pays a bit more heed to the chivalric traditions of it's heroic pioneers it will not long continue an Inviting field for the right sort of newcomers.
 There was once a time when such language used by Colonel Crawford, would, as The Advertiser intimates, have called for "business'' instead of argument. Senator Bailey has not been heard from yet; and possibly he may be realizing the responsibility resting upon him in this emergency. Either such characterization should be made impossible in the future or else he ought to resign.

CURING DYsPrPsIA.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch calls attention to the fact that Bishop Ly- man of North Carolina some years ago declared that raw peanuts, eaten just before going to bed, was sure cure for dyspepsia, for he had tried the remedy and been cured. Then it tells of an Austrian scientist who asserts that curdled sour milk. prepared under certain conditions. Is not only sOv- ereign remedy for ali digestive troubles but is a veritable elyxir of life.
 Here are two sure curea' which, to the average layman. bear little resem- blance to each other. Not possessing an expert knowledge of the human di- gestive machinery. it's necessities and weaknesses, we are not able to explain or understand how two such apparently widely different substances as raw goobers and sour milk can have the same effect in curing one of the most troublesome of human ailments. A cursory thought would lead to the con- cIusion that the two substances named would have entirely different effects. but perhaps those who are wise can explain it. It is proper to mention, however, that some of the most emi- nent medical men in Europe agree with the Austrian advocate of sour milk and explain that there are sound reasons for believing in it. The discoverer Dr. Reinhardt, declares that the use of milk which, after being slowly heated to a certain temperature, is allowed to become thick and sour will prolong life materially if taken regularly. He in- stances the fact that many Bulgarians who use this food. though dwelling un- der the most uns&hitary conditions. live beyond 100 years. The theory is that certain bacteria in milk thus soured have a beneficial effect in de-
 stroying the microbes which increase the susceptibility to disease"
 So here seems to be what may be called direct evidence of the advantages to be derived from the use of the milk. It is well to remember, however. that the sour milk cure for disease is not a new one. We believe 1t was General Schenck who. generation or more ago, achieved considerable notoriety by sub sisting entirely on this diet for quite while to cure himself of dyspepsia and kindred ailments. We do not know that he made many converts, though for that matter tkere are many peO- pie who habitually drink sour milk az a matter of choice, and if they are not actually benefited we know of no real harm that comes to them through their indulgence in the habit. Come to think of 1t, the same may be said of peanuts.

We do not often correct errors that occur in the editorials of this paper. but sometimes an exception must be made. In yesterdays paper, speaking of the new Singer building in New York. we were made to say that the ground space occupied by the building is "a trifle less than 1s0 square feet. " which is absurd. What we wrote and tried to say was that the space will be "a trifle less than 160 feet square. ' That is quite difference but the Mer- gsnthaler evidently didn't know it.

ABOUT PEAS.

Ss Tho national Department of Agrfcul- ture is engaged in another momentous task, being nothing less than an inves- tigation into the origin and history of the ordinary field pea. The average reader, if he thinks of the matter at all. win probably say that peas have ai- ways existed, and that 1t doesn't matter how or where they originated or how they got here.
 This way of looking at the matter doesn't satisfy the agricultural expertss and authorities, who believe in getting at the root of things. Peas are peas with most of us. and the average con- sumers don't care button whether they originated in the Garden of Eden or in the wllds of North Ameriea. They don't care whether they came down to us from the neolith,e ege or whether. like Topsy. they "jest Erowed' after human civilization came to earth. In short. those who like pt,as are content to indulge in the iiet without troubling as to Ane origin of the vegetable.
 But he department seems to have gone Into the investigation in earnest and 1t appears that something definite has already been accomplished. They claim to have discovered that the cow pea originated in the Afghanistan region in Western Asia. Thence they say 1t was brought to the West Indies some thing like two centuries ago and sub- sequently introduced into the American colonies. So much the experts claim to have discovered, and the surprising feature about it is that they give the pea such a brief life among us. In some way we had gotten the idea that peas were familiar to the Indians be- fore the white man came, just as corn was, but perhaps that was an error. At all events we may depend on the Agricultural Department to settle the status of the humble cow-pea.

conrruLsoaY rpucArroN.

The mention of compulsory education in the call for the extra session by the Governor asa suitable subject for ieg- islation is q concession to the aroused educational sentiment of Aisbama. No public ofTiciai who wished to keep in touch with the popular sentiment. would have touched upon this subject ten years ago. unless it was to decry its agitation.
 But times and sentiment change. The strongest sentiment in Alabama today is the sentiment for popular education, The State oficials who have been att tending the meetings in the interest of various county high schools have not hesitated to declare for compulsory ed- ucstion and the declaration has been generally appiauded.
 It may be perhaps that the time is not ripe for an effective. rigid compui- sorry educational act. but beyond doubt the Legislature will enact some such compulsory measure as that advocated by Senator Reynolds. of Bibh, whose bill died in the House.
 In any consideration of Aiabama's wonderful educational advance. justice would not be'done unless . generous share of praise and credit were given to the press of Alabama. daily and weekly. for its zeaious and valuable labor in furthering the cause of educa- tion.

GIRL BABY'S
 AWFUL ECZEMA
Sight of Eye Destroyed by Disease Tried Five Doctors but Grew Worse --ln Agony Eight Months T Parents Discouraged, Until They Tried Cuticura Remedies
IN ONE WEEK ALL
 SORES DISAPPEARED

"Our little girl, one year and half old, was taken with eczsma or that was what the doctor said it was. We called in the family doctor and he rave s0me tablets and said she would be all right in . few days. The eczema grew worse and we called in doctor No. 2. Hs said she was teething, a soon e the teeth were through she would be all right; But she still grew worss; Doc tor No. said 1t was ec1ema- By this time she was nothing but yellow. greenish sore. Well, he said he could help her, so we let him try 1t about e week. One morning we discovered . little yellow pimple on one of her eyes. Of course we 'phoned for doctor No. 8. He came over and looked her over and said that he could not do any thing more for her, that we had better take her to some eye specialist, aince it was % an ulcer. So we vent sc oswsgo sight was gone, but that he could help it. We thought we would try doctor No. s. We'll, that proved the same, only he charged t10 more than doctor No. 4. We were nearly discouraged. saw one of the Cuticura advertisements in the paper and thought we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so I went and purchased a set of Cuticura Remedies, which cost me e1. and in three days our daughter, who had been sick about eight months, showed great improve ment, and in one week all sores had dis appeared. Of course it could not re- store the eyesight, but if we had used Cuticura in time I am confident that it would have saved the eye.

Creating New Omeea.

Atmore Sjevtuml
 Our Governor gives 1t out that the big appropriations made by the Legis- laturo of 1907 were to old soldiers and schools. but he failed to tell the poo created for so many of his friends; for instance. there Is s32.000 a. year for the office of the tax commissioners, and more than $30OO for inspecting jails. cotton mills and aims houses; and, too, the increased appropriations for the State Health Department amounts to $13,9S3, so we find that 1t will cost about $75 900 more each year to admin lster justice in Alabama than before the Legislature met. Yet they tell you that most of your money went for salaries were increased and new offices created would make the school and old soldier appropriations look very small. The people have to pay the bill and the Governor laughs!
