and wormwood 1t must be to most of them to not be able to mail and wire forecasts like unto those picked up easily in the past three national com tests.
 There is some queer reading in Eastern papers about now. It seems strange to peruse the columns of The Philadelphia Record for instance and ind accounts of negro meetings at which the speakers lambast Roosevelt and Taft and advise the .blacks to march up to the polls and vote straight for Bryan as a rebuke to the admin istration.
 Negro Bryan clubs are in evidence all through Pennsylvania and New Jersey and other Eastern States. No mistake about that. The Tribune. a negro newspaper of Philadelphia, Is strenuously urging the race to do everything possible to bring about the defeat of Taft. If they have money to spend to influence votes 1t would seem that the Republican campaign managers will be compelled to use a lot of it to keep the negroes from fly ing the track this time.
 Heretofore the party bosses had col- lars around the necks of the blacks. and the negro vote was absolutely safe.

may say that Mir. Roosevelt carried the State by 225,O00. but 1t must be remembered that that vote was four years ago. and that the last vote in Ohio showed the election of Governor Pattison. a Democrat. by 43.00O plu- rality, and the highest plurality given to any Republican candidate on the state ticket was only 4s,000.'
 The best political writer of The Washington Star gave for several weeks news of the campaign that was mighty biue reading for the oficeh old ing crowd here and elsewhere. It really made them sick.
 Gossip has 1t that the managers of The Star called down" the young man. He was quietly given the intimation that the matter he was sending the paper was too gloomy for a Republican sheet. and that 1t made the readers lose heart. Lately the tone is changed so as not to be as distress ing to the Federal ''papsuckers" who constitute the bulk of The stars read CTS. But all the same there Is enough of the truth as to real situation to fill the average Republican with alarm.

net increase in the physical valuations for the year ls0S-09 of $i6,SO4,5sI over the aggregate figures for the year Just closed.
 1t is known that the State Tax Commission will certify to the Auditor approximately $6,000,OOO addl.,onal physical assessment which VIII pc charged against the Jefferson county Collector. This would bring the net increase of the physical assessment of the State to approximately $22,S04,6s7. This. of course, contemplates the hVe missing counties being an offset.
 If. therefore the intangible valua- tions already fixed by the State Com mission are added to the estimated total physical valuations, a sum of approximately $492,655,547 would re- suit. On this amount the constitutional tax of 1-2 mills will be levied ana collected during the present year.
 In view of the fact that the intangi- bles showed a shortage of $1,s5s'SsT for this as compared with last year. this deducted from the net physical m crease seems to give the total increase of assessment on which the tax IS levied of $20,s44.700. This would in- sure the collection of but $lS4,SsV'oo in taxes for all purposes more than was collected during 1907-oS.
 The prediction of the State Commis- sion that although their intanglbles fell below last years level the pnys.- cal assessments would sh ow an increase has been verified.
 The Assessments by counties as the returns were made to the State Audi tor from sixty-two counties h one column and the gain or loss from the year previous, are shown in the 1ol- lowing table:

After having grounds properly grad ed and drained, walks may be laid our according to the fancy or the owner On large places winding or curvlng walks and driveways are the most beautiful. the irregularity of form be- ing restful to the eye and close un- imitation of nature. where. in the gen eral contour of the country, severe lines are never seen.
 The ground plan being finished, the next consideration. and by Tar the most important, Is the planting plan, which, to be well done, requlres noe only taste but the skill born of ex- perience. Tn the planting. the first thing to be placed fs the background. This is of the same importance 70 the man who puts a picture on the ground as 1t Is to the artist who paints a picture on canvass. If old or un- slightly objects are to be hid, place dark, heavy and tall growing plants arranged for effect, in front or the unattractive new. Following this screen of heavy plants and trees. place lighter shades of foliage and the del- Icately. low-growing and finely in- dentated foliage in front. Herbaceaus plants set in a careless, mixed style gives a good finish and brings the group down to the sod line.
 In selecting plants, the style of arr chitecture must be considered. Never 
 place a number of tall objects around a low house, nor set of low-grow- ing trees around a tall house or one with sharp gables or turrets.
 If walks are curved. always plant with the idea that the walks were made that way to avoid a bed or tree. or a clump of trees. Plant in groups, having all the clear lawn space pos sible, for nothing looks more out of place than to see a beautiful lawn cut up by an indiscriminate collection of trees and schrubs. If roses are desir- ed, give them beds by themselves. They are never successful when grown with other and grosser feeding plants. They require a sunny exposure, deeply stirred soil and ample drainage.
 Tn planting, always keep the lines of observation in mind, so as to create the impression that there Is some thing beyond" and the beauty of the garden will unfold, so to speak, as one passes.
 Never plant informal groups in a formal garden, unless it Is a back

ground, In which case your garden has the appearance of an adjunct to a branch of a wilderness or woodland, which Is a charming picture, If prop erly planted.
 Shrubs and low-growing evergreens should be planted close to the house to give 1t the effort of having been built in the general landscape. Noth- ing looks worse than an isolated house with nothing around 1t but a bare stretch of grass. It is like a picture without a frame.
 Beautiful grounds add materially to the financial value of property and is source of pride to the average busi- ness man. as it furnishes that feeling of happiness and relaxation from bus mess cares which nothing else can, and for this reason, alone. the compar- atively small cost of good landscaplng is one of the most judIclous invest ments that the wise home owner. can make.

OFF TO WASHINGTON
FREIGHT BUREAU PARTY GONE TO
 ARGUE CASE.
Consists of Manager H. s. Kealhofer and Counsel W. 4. Gunter and Horace StringfellOw--w. F. Vandiver In Wash
 fuRt0u

Accompanied by counsel. Horace Stringfellow and w. A. Gunter of | Montgomery. H. L. Kealhofer. man. ager of the Montgomery Freight Bu- reau, left Saturday evening for Wash | ington to attend the final hearing of the case by the Interstate Commerce Commission involving rates to Mont gomery, Mobile and Pensacola from the Ohio and Mississippi River cross ings. This hearing will be confined to the oral arguments in the case and it is likely that it will be concluded be- fore the end of the week.
 The commerce Commission will be- gin hearing arguments in this case Wednesday, october 21. This will be a summing up of the briefs and reply of the counsel. W. F. Vandiver, 6 prominent member of the Freight Bu- reau will be present at the hearing. He is now in, Washington.
 The argument all completed, and the case is submitted with all formal ity and detail for the final decision of the Commission. The first hearing of the case was in May last, hear ing involving oral and written testi- mony. Then followed briefs of both the railroads and the complainants and reply briefs in each instance. Liber- al time wasexended both sides for the preparation of briefs.
 The decision of the Interstate Com merce Commission in this case will be watched with interest. It has grown more interesting still since the hori- zontal increase of rates on food pro- ducts and grain from the river gate ways of the West to Alabama points and other States. It Is believed by Mir. KeaIhofer that this sweeping increase aggravated the complaint which he prepared. It certainly increased the rates to Montgomery and materially reduced the rates to Mobile. And it was of the alleged discrimination in favor of Mobile and Pensacola against Montgomery in freight charges from the Ohio and Mississippi River cross- ings that the Freight Bureau com plained of.
 The Freght Bureau Is fighting for at least an advance of rates to Mo- bile measured by that cost of trans. portation between New Orleans and Mobile, it being elaborately alleged Tn the complaint that the railroads m making rates to Mobile ignore, 1t Is said. even the water competition be- tween the cities.
 The Montgomery party will return in a few days and they expect decision before the end of the year.
