AGE-HERALD ECHOES

Newark Star: Yes, as the Birmingham Age-Herald remarks, Florence Nightin- gale is Englands grand old m1id."
 Gadsden Journal: Paul Cook says money is the finest company in the world. It seems that the fellow who has plenty of 1t is never lonesome.
 Chicago Record Herald: John Johnson is the man of the hour.-Birmingham Age-Herald.
 As for Johnson. he would probably pre- fer to be the man of the next eight years
 Washington Post: "When your troubles seem more than you can bear" says the Birmingham Age-Herald, rejoice be- cause you don't live in Syracuse, N. Y" In this neck of the woods we can also rejoice because we don't live in Birming- ham.
 Dothan Siftings: Now is the time to plant cucumbers and other seed. It is the early garden that produces the most en-
 joyabe vegetables.-Age-Heral
 Does The Age-Herald's d's agricultural edi- tor know the difference between a 24- inch Bowling scrape and bunch of onion sets?

 l Tuskegee News The Birmingham Age Herald is right when it calls upon the
 people to give careful consideration to the
 changing of the constitution so as to have
 the legislature meet every two years in-
 stead of every four, as now. We would l do well perhaps. says that paper, to elect the governor also every two years. At any rate, let our people carefully think about this matter before voting either
 way.
 Prattvlle Progress: The Birmingham Age-Herald is conducting a campaign against exorbitant prices for foodstuff and other necessities. In doing this it is stepping on the financial toes of many influential Birmingham people; this is not deterring it from doing a plain duty to the people, The cost of living is out of all proportion to wages and the sooner the combination that maintains these ex- cessive prices is broken the better it will be for the wage earner.
 New York Herald: Some people get up with a song. others with headache" says the Birmingham Age-Herald. Curi- ously enough, too, the latter gentleman is generally the one who goes to bed with the song Washington Herald. Why should the chap who goes to bed with a song awake with an aching head rather than with continuation of the song? May be somewhat dense, but can't seem to figure it out. Besides, man can't sing all the time.
 Gadsden Journal: The Age-Herad con- tinues to probe the question of high prices in Birmingham of things to eat and is making out pretty strong case against the wholesale and retail dealers of that city According to the Herald's pub lished figures of prices in Buffalo it is
 quite apparent that prices in this city
 are also decidedly up in the air and need to be pulled down to where a working man can enjoy the best of food and still
 be able to lay away something for rainy day. Right now when things are quiet is the best time to make every dealer in necessities accept a reasonable 1 profit.
 l New Orleans World: In one school in l Paris 546 girls are learning to play the | mandolin, and no one objects, because l a mandolin is neither strident nor stren- | uous-Birmingham Age-Herald. | A pretty girl playing a pretty air on a I mandolin in the full of the moon in the
 balmy atmosphere of this climate Is suffi- | ciently strenuous for any man who can l not devote all of his time to writing lays I and sonnets of a vernal character. But 1 there is both a distinction and difference 1 between one little, sweet little girl play | ing on the mandolin in the dreamy moon- | shine of a spring night and 546 sweet l little girls playing on 546 sweet little | mandolins It strikes us that 546 would l be a triie strident, not to say strenuous I
