The Best State Paper.
The Montgomery Advertiser prides
itself on being the only strictly state
paper in Alabama. Well, the truth OF
the matter is IT that The Banner %5a Edy Will
tiser in this respect, for there Is moth
ing of any interest in the State that
escapes The Advertiser In these days.
A Good Motto.
Some one suggests that these words
be taken up as the slogan for the
factories and mines and put an the
idlers and Migrants to work" Around

Choctaw Advocate.
Birmingham is after the pistol to-

law abiding element Of that city to-
gether with these of the rest of the
state will prevail upon the Legislature
to give this class of criminals a good
antidote for the nefarious practice.
Let the law be so severe as to practi-
cally prohibit the carrying of pistols.

1t is announced from Sicily that the
Voicanoes OF Etna and Stromboli are
exhibiting restlessness, and the indi-
cations are good for violent eruptions
In the near future. These two noun
tains have been conducting themselves
fairly well for quite while. but It
seems that something like a volcanic
wave is sweeping the globe, and 1t may
be that they will fall into line and
bring devastation and death to the peo-
pie of the vicinity, who are reported
to be very much concerned over the
situation. and well they may be. A
volcano in eruption is not matter to
make light Of, and Etna and Stromboli
have gruesome histories

II used to be saying that when a
,or,s dead he's dead" but The Mobile
Register has found case which ap-
parently upsets that theory. 1t tells us
~ one John Armstrong. negro, lc-
eally hanged in Columbus. Tex. on
April 10, is reported alive, his relatives
having revived him after receiving the
supposed corpse from the sheriff. The
relatives have hurried Armstrong into
hiding. according to apparently au-
thentic information, but as the negro
IS officially dead. it has been stated by
attorneys whose opinion carries some
weight, that the State is powerless 10
enforce the original verdict of death.
The case is unique and promises to at
tract general attention before the legal
status of the negro is officially de-
nlared."

woodrow wilson's Endorsement OF
the tobacco chewing habit ought to
win votes for him in the Old Domin-
ion.-Knoxville Journal and Tribune.
President Wilson did not endorse
the chewing of tobacco. but he de-
clares that II man wants to chew to-
bacco he has a right to and it is no
body else's business to prevent him.
Mr., Wilson is an old-fashioned Demo
crat: he believes in personal liberty
and even goes so far as to say that a
man may take a drink If he wants to
and not go the 'demnition bow-wows
for it, He doesn't advise men to
drink: in fact he exhorts them not to-
hut he doesn't believe that it is his
province to say that a man shall not
drink. He's the kind Of Democrat
the country needs at this time

ade or two has been considered more
beautiful Mrs. Pruyn says there Is a
rich effect about the somber hue of the
American wood lacking in the other
kind. and she is looking for good pieces

self says that most of us became so
deadly tired of the vogue of black wal
nut that the new fad will not readily
appeal to u.s.
One effect of this revival will be to
restore a valuable wood to popularity
and usefulness which it should not have
SO largely lost. Another effect will be
| to cause a great demand and consequent
high price for handsome and well-pre-
served walnut furniture. If the fashion
Is taken up by the rich and fashionable,
the prices of good specimens will nat
urally go up, and those who are so fort
nate as to possess really desirable
articles may get good prices for them
The. wood is becoming scarce in Amer
lean forests and that Will, of course
add to the market value of the furnit-
ure IL the fashion for it holds up many
years, and good and h4uGsome speci-
mems will be eagerly sought and liber-
ally paid for.
And there is another point in this
connection that is worthy Of attention.
The black walnut is hardy tree, easily
propogated in almost all sections of the
United States. 1t is not of speedy
growth, 1t is true, but the same may
be said of most of the hard woods that
furnish the best timber. There are many
waste places where the trees would
flourish and in time prove a valuable
asset. Even If some good cultiyable
land should be thus app opriated. 1t
would not be a bad investment. The
nuts are good, and the bark and leaves
furnish a fine dye that was once very
popular among the country people, and
mas LIT yet gone entirely out of use
In short every part of the tree is of
use in some form. 1t is not likely. in
our judgment, tnat walnut lumber will
go out OF use not only because of its
value, but because m~ny of the fine
woods used for cabinet work are fast
disappearing. and soon there will he
none left- Certainly from a strictly
business standpoint there must be profit
in walnut culture. 1t may not pay the
man who plants the trees, but will be-
a profit to those who come after him.
