Use of Farm Machinery.

bTUHUIUBe ItCUTu.
 The use. of improved farm machin- cry In this section increases year after year, so we are informed by the hard . ware dealers. This is a good sign. The use of modern machinery and methods is Just as essential to the conduct of a successful farm as 1t is to manufacto- ries or any other kind of business. 1t saves time and reduces the cost of pro- ducing the product-two items most valued by the manufacturer and least noticed by the average farmer. When the farmer arrives at the point where he values time and guards the cost of production like the manufacturerA Ahe IS then on the road to prosperity. There is no way to waste well directed ener- BY on the farm.

Looking to Alabama.

"The Texas and Western papers are booming Col. John W. Tomlnson of Birmingham, as MT. Bryan's running mate next year" said J: NJ Green of Dallas. Many of the Western editors are pointing out many reasons why Colonel Tomlinson would make a most acceptable candidate for the Vice Pres great strength to the Democratic tick ct next year. In fact in Texas we think the time has come for the South to demand it's rights. We are entitled to some honors by the Democratic party !"

What the "Policy" Is Doing.

 Douglas Scruggs. a prominent busi- ness man of Decatur, spent Tuesday in Birmingham with his brother. John D Scruggs. "The Decaturs. like Bir- mingham, went dry on the last day of the year. Eighteen saloons closed in our town on that day. The twin cities however. were prepared to meet the situation and it will hardly disturb business to any extent. In common with the other cities of the South, we are looking forward to a better busi- ness era. What we are interested in now is the retrenchment policies which the railroads are inaugurating, The fleets our towns. While the people of our county voted overwhelmingly for the present administration, we never anticipated that they would go as far as they have in the enactment of such drastic laws. The policies would hard Iy receive another endorsement in our section of the State"

Letter to The Editor
\ Solution. Fruitdale Ala Ian

FruItdaIe, Ala. Jan. ?, 1908. Editor The Advertiser:
 1 note your editorial regarding the danger of getting the two Bryan's names mixed. I have a solution that would be easy. I believe.
 Let the next Democratic Convention nominate the two for President and Vice. President. Bryan and Bryan would make a strong ticket and one that would sweep the country.
 The South would not cnly be recog- nized but would in this manner pro- vide a suitable running mate for the great statesman from Nebraska, and the people would support this ticket all over the country.

We find the following in The Birm- ingham Ledger of New Years Day:

The Governor ought to consider carefully before he resigns to run for another office. He has won two offices on the railroad issue and it may be that the third can be won that way. We shall seel The man who won the senior Senatorship from the hearts of the people. is a very straight good man, and if the Governor beats him, it will be one of the astonishing feats of the political days. Still faint heart never won fair lady. The Senatorship being the fair lady this time.
 The Ledger may be trying to get off New Years joke. In case. however, that it is serious. we would like for it so explain how the Governor in face Of the State Constitution. which he has sworn to obey. can become can didate for Senator until one year after the expiration of the term for which he was elected. That time will be in January. 1912, and the Legislature to elect Senator meets in January 1911.
