Not satisned with a general and far reaching declaration of war against rats, we notice that New Jersey town is proposing to abolish the cats also. averrlng that they are likewise car riers of disease germs. This looks like overriding the thing. and we are not surprised to hear that there is some thing like a general outcry against the proposition. As cats catch rats and they want to abolish the latter. 1t seems illogical to banish the former.

One of the latest legislative aberra- tions of this era of cratic legislation is the law just enacted by the Legis- lature of Virginia. providing for a tax on all sanding timber. The latest in- formation we have is that Governor Swanson had not approved the bill. and the hope was expressed that he would veto it. As nearly all the land in. vir-

 on Suitable Site.
 Tuscumbia, March 1s.--(Spectal)- )- The joint committees from the City Councils of Tuscumbia and Shetheld. appointed to act in the matter of an effort to secure one of the State high schools, have practically agreed on location. the site selected being on the dividing line between the two cities equal distance between them.
 In order to secure the school and a State appropriation of $2.0e0 annually. the two cities will be called on to furnish five acres of land, $6,OO0 school building. completely equipped and furnished. As the two cities are determined in their efforts to land" one of these schools. the comIVittees propose to further "get busy" and secure the necessary $50O0 and the five acres of land before they are ready to report finally.
 Tuscumbia and Sheffield could magni- fcently maintain a school of this char acter between them. and as they have gone after 1t. they are determined to have the school if 1t can be had.

It is stated that the late Senator Quay of Pennsylvania, a few months before his death. advised some of his closest friends not to touch the State Capitol game; 'it's going to be jail job" he told them. Perhaps no man in all the country was better fitted than Quay to know when job was dangerous. and then keep away from it. The result of the recent trial which ended in the conviction of four of the grafsers is evidence that the shrewd old politician was gifted with fore sight.

Well, he may wash The American. but what condition will it leave him in after he has finished the unpleasant task? It reminds us of stanza in one of Byron's poems which runs thus:

 We are very much afraid the farmers will overdo the thing on cotton this year. With many of the cotton mills shutting down and leaving a large sur plus of cotton on hand and many of the mill operators moving back tp the farm. it will be easy to mako a cotton crop that will be so large that 1t will not demand more than s cents next fall. We trust the farmers will bear this in mind and plant enough corn, peas. po- tatoes and vegetables to meet their re- qu.rements, It will help hold down the cotton outDuf,
