One Rev. Quayie. formerly of Kan sas City. has been discoursing on the subject of kisses. and among other things said: T would throw away a biscuit any time for kiss" It might depend on the kind of kiss and biscuit involved. but as The Kansas City Jour nal observes. "Dr. Quayle refuses to be stampeded by the rising cult of al- leged hygiene specialists who have placed the ban upon kissing. and the other specialists who consider a kiss the favorite instrument of the devil. He exalts the kiss above all earthly enjoyments. even beyond the delights of steaming. fragrant and tantalizing biscuits. such as once adorned the ta- bles of the sainted sisters at whose homes he was often entertained in the days before he was sentenced to Chi cago."

GREATER BIRMINGHAM.

The Advertiser congratulates Bir- mingham upon its great growth in population and territory. While it comes through legislative action and over the wishes of the Senator from Jefferson county, still it gives to Ala bama one city of the 100. 900 class. with the prospect that the census in 1910 will show that it ranks next to New Orleans in population. The bill gives to the outlying towns or provinces cer- tain features of local government which may tend to overcome their op- position to the arbitrary manner in which they have been jerked into the combined municipality. It was this fail ure to give the outside people alone the right to vote, for or against annexa- ton, that influenced Senator Miller in his opposition to the measure and which he maintained throughout the contest, Some days ago The Birmingham Ledger said it was up to Lieutenant Governor Gray to say whether or not there should be Greater Birmingham. The Advertiser took the position that it was not up to the Lieutenant Gov ernor unless there should be a tie vote, when his vote would be the deciding factor. Our contention was that the Senators ShOulI act for themselves free of any influence or pressure from the chair as they alone had the right to vote, unless a does not often happen, there should be exact division of strength.
 It so happened that 1t was up to Lieutenant Governor Gray and he promptly decided the question by vot- ing for the King bill and under that law Birmingham will spread and spread until she takes under her protecting wing more than 100000 people That makes a great city and is the be gin ming of growth which will continue until Birmingham can claim a quarter of a million of active busy people That day we believe to be in the near

The question now agitating the mind is, What is to become of the mint beds that have been cultivated so as siduously on the other side of the roar ing Chattahoochee? The Albany Argus tells the people to "plow up the mint bed, now. and increase the corn acre. age" That would be looked on as sacrilege by many oldtimers. who would almost as lief blow up the pea, nut patch; besides. its too late to plant corn, anyhow. Better let the mint stand and grow and flourish If your own Legislature tries to shut out the need for the aromatic plant some of you may be able to import something to go with it in time of great need.

 In the meantime while extending congratulations and hearty good wishes to the great steel and iron city we wish 1t to be distinctly understood that growth in population. in business. in manufacturing and all the elements that go to make a great city. It will not be long before Montgomery will be given credit for having a population of 100000 busy and happy people.

The Charlotte Observer is also among those whose memory fondly goes back to the good old trundle-bed days-and nights. Referring to The Advertisers remarks about that once indispensable article of household furniture. espe- cially in the country. it says:
 Our Montgomery contemporary must be writing for men and women of cities or for the young who are grow ing up in the larger communities. Surely 1t does not need to explain to the children larger grown" who were raised in the country or in country villages. the architecture, uses day time disposition of the trundlebed. It may have gone out of commission. but 1t does not seem so many years aso since 1t was an institution Chaps without number slept on it after exhausting themselves fighting with pillows, and after daylight. after the hogs and horses had been fed, and after breakfast. it was rolled under the big bed. tucked away as neatly and as far out of sight IS If it had never been. The trundle bed Is a pre- cious memory and "trunde- bed trash is a phrase which has been permanent ly incorporated in the language.

One of our choicest amusements. Tn quiet way. Is to watch certain Vir- sinfa and Carolina brethren as they carry on their continuous controver sies about poetry. grammar, construc- tive English and other matters which each claims to be thoroughly quail fied to teach and enlighten all the others It is true that they not in freouently put their feet in their mouths but that only adds to the joyousness of the performance. It is good for the brethren to indulge in such harmless diversions. and perhaps 1t keeps then, from tackling subjects too weighty for their several capacities.

UNIQUE FIGURE GONE. Senator Pettus One Ok South's Last

New York Tribune. -
 AS the patriarch of the Senate MT. Pettus had a congenial and eonspicu- ous role, filling it to the edihcation and delight of his colleagues: He dld not succeed in connecting his name with great enterprises and policies as Mir Morgan did; but he was an alert and industrious legislator whose opin,, ions were sought and valued. He had pc perience e H had had taught him to husband debate his homely, pungent and natural the Senate He was kindly. sgenial sincere and simple. free from affecta- tions. and hater of shams in theory or conduct. As a Senator his place can be filled; but as Southerner of the older mold, a figure of the past recall ing its vanished traditions and asso- citations, it's outward and inward ife he can have no successor
