The Extra ses.Ion.

Birmingham Ledger.
 Extra sessions of Congress and ex- tra sessions Of Legislatures have no great record for effective good The history of legislation does not show that extra sessions of legislative bod les do what is hoped from them.
 It may be that our Legislature in ex- tra session will be calm and deliber-
 it is ettiied u to tiU, so as to help business and not dis- turb #. That is the main point in Ala bama just now. It will require states manship to steer the affairs along tilia doubtful sea. to a new prosperity. What ever measures the Legislature takes to coerce the railroads that have ap- peaied to the courts. it will be necea- sary to give confidence that nothing business of the State. If the State makes war on one or two roads to pune lsh them for their course it will do well to explain fully just what 1t is doing. In that way there will be no general fear of sudden legislation that may disturb all business.
 The Ledger has been insistent on this point because 1t knows that there Is tense feeling in the State that may break away and undo all that has been done. Tho pendulum of public opinon swings back end forth and if it is forced too far one way st swings back too far the other. It is going to take wise counsel to have this extra session for punitive pur- poses and yet not disturb all the buzz mess of the State

 one Little Insect Pest.
 The claim is often made that in ad- dition to its good other qualities, the canna Is an almost ideal garden plant because 1t Is immune to Insect at- tack. It is true that the canna suffers practically not at all from insects, but It has it's own pet bug, specimens of which were sent. to us several times in the early spring. The insect hiber- mates in the old leaves, the moths emerge early in March and deposit their eggs on the young leaves as soon as they appear. AS soon as the work of the young caterpiller is no- ticed in the spring by the edges of the leaf being tied, and failing to un7 fold. infested leaves should be cut off and destroyed. A simple method to de- stroy the pest is to collect and burn all dead leaves in the fall.
 October 1 is moving day" in Mont gomery, hence there were many va cant seats o fthe broad verandah of the hospitable home of the president when the Flower Growers Association as- sembled at Green Acres''. Thereiwere eleven of the faithful present, so the business in hand went smoothly on, though the absentees were regretted
 The president had quite a pleasant surprise in store for the meeting -one that caused ripple of gratification to set all the eloquent tongues going. The Governor had asked the ladies or the Association to cooperate with his com mittee in the arrangements for beauti- flying the Capitol grounds. It was d delicate compliment and the earnest women who have the beauty of the city so at heart. are ready to sacrifice many other things expressing their time to give of their knowledge, skill and taste, that the Capitol in its spacious grounds may be made "a thing of beau ty" and a pride to the whole State; with them, it will be labor of love.
 When an acceptance or the honor hau been agreed upon. the plans for the next meeting will be the "Ex- change Meeting" discussed.
 It is desired that all members will go over their flower collections carefully and set aside such things as can be shared, to bring to the meeting Novem- Der 1.
 Many of the members suggested the following things as wanted:
 Cuttings of all good roses they must be named hollyhocks; butterfly lily; bulbs of all sorts; purple flags (iris): white crepe myrtle; Persian lilac; rhyn- cosperrium; columbine; bleeding heart: hydrangeas; Chinese Bigonias; cannas-- all the orchid fowerimg; four-o-cIocA seed or roots; Warren" grape cut tings; Herbemont Madura grape cut tings; cuttings of the Susanna BIanehet rose; cutting of Dorothy Perkins rose; roots of the white towering fragrant clematis: chrysanthemums: poppy seed.

The First and Last Born.

Macon Telegraph
 In ancient times the first born sor was Set apart as chief among his breth- ren. and to this day in many rarts oi the world he receives the title and lions share of the property left by his father. Moreover, there seems to be an impression that the first chu- dowed from birth than the later in a given family, and this is apparently based on the supposition that the force producing them gradually weakens un- til results equal to the first fruitage are impossible.
 Of no little interest. therefore. are certain facts reported by the Medical Record as brought to light at the re- cent International Congress on Psy- chiarty at Amsterdam. It was there shown that comparatively few gen fuses have been the first born of their parents. For example, only ten first born were found by reference to the biographies of seventy great men and women-poets. authors, statesmen. painters and musicians. Says The Medcai Record:
 Not only were these men of genius not the first born in very large num- Der of cases they were the youngest or next to the youngest of the family. Thus Coleridge was the last of thir- ten children. James Fennimore Cooper was the eleventh of twelve children, Washington Irving was the last of eleven, Balzac the last of three, George Eliot the last of four. Napoleon was the eighth, and probably the last; Dan- ieI Webster the last of seven Benja- min Franklin was the last of seventeen and the last born for several genera tions, Rembrandt was the last of six children, Rubens the last of seven, Sir Edwin Landseer the fifth of seven chill dren; Joshua Reynolds was the seventh child of his parents. Carl Maria Weber the ninth, Richard Wagner the last of seven, Mozart the last of seven, Schu- mann the last of five. Schubert the thirteenth of fourteen.
 The parents, therefore, of great men were for the most part of a ripe ago at the time of the conception oe the latter; that Is to say, the cellular po- tentiality of the parents was then at its maximum from the mental as well as the physical point of view.
 It would appear from this showing that if there is ever superior endow = ment from birth in the case of the older children as compared with the younger. it is physical rather than a mental This might perhaps reasona- bIv follow from the fact that young parents are usually in greater bodily vigor while parents Of maturer age are more fully developed mentally

What would our midsummer gardens do without their cannas? : the last rose of spring has shattered and gone." Had Tom Moore lived in Ala | bama he would have never apostro- phized "the last rose of summer" For | us no summer roses bloom. The hon. eysuckles breathed their last incense with the departing spring, and the magnificent pinnacles of the hydran- gea lasted only month longer. True, the white tresses of the clematis pam culata broke the dreariness of the July gardens and especially on South Gold 1 thwaite Street were they "a thing of beauty" The canna was the only flower hardy and. brave enough to bloom under the blazing sun of the past August and early September; it's loveliness was limited to no location :; 1t beautified the grounds of our State Capitol and aded a pathos to the pla- teau of the Court House. Certainly the prisoner as he walks from his dreary cell across the way must mo- tfce the groups of canna that lift so high their golden heads; doubtless they inspire within him a hope that for him the flowers of earth may still bloom, the sun still shine.

 The canna has a peculiar interest to Americans. Up to about fifteen years ago the canna was regarded merely as a foliage plant for sub-tropicaI effect. Today the canna vies with the popular bedding plants for the beauty of it's flowers. It has been dwarfed. too, un- til every small garden can we'll ac- commodate a half dozen canna plants, and not look overstocked. The devel- opment of the modern canna from the old. tall-growing type with it's long scattered heads of small peaked flow CTS into the dense compact trees of broadly petalled and highly coiored flowers of today, was begun in Ger many. and continued in Italy and France. Also in our own country An toene Winzer has accomplished more than all the European breeders put together, and is the most largely re- sponsibIe for our modern appreciation of the canna in American gardens Among our hot weather plants the can- ma stands unequaled. for the hotter the weather (provided it can be given a reasonable supply of moisture at the roots) the more gloriously does 1t flourish, and the more magnificent its floral display. It is the August flower for the suburban and city gar den, and produces more greenery for its ground space than any other of the tender summer bedding plants. It will grow and flourish with a minimum of attention. For glorious, gorgeous color, it's flower heads are as showy as those of any other plant grown, and for a profusion of bloom there Is nothing to equal It. single infiorescence. by actual count. made last August here i50 flowers. and there were ten shoots to one root. 1n the evolution of the

 Dear Friend-I take pleasure in writing you in regard to my condition. l am still all right, and have never taken any dope" since Dr. Morrow gave me my last dose at the Senate rum, and don't have any peed for 1t. l am sorry that could not go to the reunion and be with you all. It would have been a great pleasure to me to have been there, but I had so much work to do on my farm as we have had great deal of rain, consequently have been in rush. I haven't lost a day from work since my return home, and have been able to do more work this year than for a long time. I, of course, get tired, but I get rested at night, just the same. l never slept better in my life, have a good appetite and haven't missed a meal since my return home.
 l certainly am glad that went to your sanatorium. Had I not done so l might have been in my, grave today. l weighed some time ago 166 pounds. That does very well for string like l was when I went to you for treat ment. I will always thank you for what you have done for me. Every body says that I look twenty years younger than did before treatment I am, therefore thankful to you and pr. Morrow and the Almighty God for being alive today. I know that I am cured of the drug habit, as I have had no more desire for the drug than If had never taken any in my life. So wishing you much success to a good cause, am, Yours until death,
