bacteriologist of Atlanta, has caused a resolution to be presented in the city council providing that 1t shall be un- lawful for any person owning stables, pens, stalls, to allow them to become filthy or unwholesome. Persons own ing cows, horses and mules shall be taxed $2 per head per year. Gar bage will be required to be kept in water-tight vessels, thus preventing flies. Manure shall be placed in bins or pits and covered until removed. Penalty for the violation of either one of these is to be not less than S1 or more than $100.
 Chief Jentzen says it is impossible to compel owners of horses and cows to remove manure. He went on to say that it would become the duty of the city in the near future for the sake of the city's health to remove all refuse
 Birmingham has a similar problem, and if a census of horses and cows within the city were taken 1t would appear prominent at once. The more animals the more flies, and the more flies the more typhoid fever and in- fantile bowel diseases. The fly prob lem is before every city in the land, and a solution of it necessarily in- wolves the methods of storing and handling the refuse of the stables.

Do We Eat Tco Much !?

] This is a question that invariably arises in the hot months in the year. It has not been satisfactorily answered and never will be because no two stomachs and no two organizations are alike. What one man can safely do the next man cannot. It is therefore impossible to answer the question at the head of this article and make the answer fit all.
 But it is within bounds and ascer- tained physiological facts to say that as rule we eat too much. Those who maintain health the more evenly and those who live the longer are not as rule overeaters. The man who generally enjoys the best health isthe man who leads an ascetic life, who eats little or no meat, and who is con tent with two meals a day. It Is the feaster, who as a rule is full of ills and whose days in this world are com paratiyely few.
 In hot weather the man who would avoid the irritating effects of high temperatures, including 'prickly heat" is the man who eats not more than one hearty meal a day. Two light meals and one hearty meal seem to be a pretty good rule when the aver age habit of eating is taken into con- sideration. In July and August fruits and vegetables certainly bring to one fewer discomforts than meats, pastry and other rich foods. Nature points the way when she produces in July and August an abundance of fruits and vegetables.
 Whether three light meals be pref erable in July and August to two ilgnt meals with a substantial dinner at the close of the day Is really an in- dividual question. It is one that habit will probably decide, and the sole thing that can be safely affirmed is that we as rule eat in hot weather too much.

Not a Dull Year

A presidential campaign year is pro verbally dull from business point of view, but there have been exceptions to the rule, and this year promises to be one of them. At any rate, general trade during the summer and fall will be. so much better than conditions d few months ago indicated would be the that the second half of 1908 will be relatively satisfactory Business Is bet ter now than 1t was in the campaign year of 1900, and infinitely better than in 1896.
 The crop reports are all that could be desired. The country has raised bumper crops. This fact, combined with the sound condition of business in general and the characteristic en- ergy of the leaders in the industrial and commercial world, accounts for the feeling of optimism that prevails
 
 and the evidences of returning pros perity that are seen on every hand People are less engrossed with poll tics than in past years. On the other hand, they are more interested than ever in seeing the enormous resources Of the country developed, and all hon est toilers, whether they be manual ol brain toilers, are eager to have par in this development
 The improvement in business will continue and there seems to be a wei defined notion that this year will b, the forerunner of period of prosper ity such as this country has never be fore known.

Features of the Coming Census

The Crumpacker census bill went over to the short session, when no doubt it will be passed. The demo- gogical prediction provisions in it will possibly be eliminated and it will come out of the two houses a reason ably satisfactory measure.
 It proposes several changes. Under 1t the census of 1910 would be taken in April instead of June. Many people leave their homes in June, whereas few do in April For this reason April is deemed the preferable month.
 The last census filled ten volumes, and by emitting all mortuary statistics and by condensing many other figures it is hoped to present the census of 1910 in six volumes and to put those volumes into the hands of the public speedily. The figures to be collected relate to population, agriculture, man.
 
 ufacture, mines and quarries.
 The Philippines will not be included in the census of 1910, but Alaska, Ha- waii, Guam, Samoa, the Canal Zone and Porto Rico will be, and the pros- pect is that these possessions, together with the mainland, will show g popula- ticn of 90,O00,o00 An army of 65,OoO enumerators is to be put in the field on April 15, 1910, and about 5000 clerks will be employed to tabulate the re- turns of @ile field force. The cost of the new census will probably exceed s13,oOO,0oo.

RICH YOUNG "TIGHTWADS."

From a New York Letter.
 New York's young men of wealth have recently been accused of belonging to the genus tightwad. It is charged that they spend no money, that they wear inexpen- sive clothes, and that they would rather perish than treat a friend The explana- tion, according to one who professes to be In the swim Is that it is the fashion to assume to be poverty-stricken just now. You see," said he, "the little CO., terie of young men who are the real leaders of the younger set, by reason of birth breeding, attainments and accomp- lishments, are, as matter of fact poor men. They have slender incomes, for the most part, and are forced to wear incon- spicuous clothes and pare their daily ex- penditures down to the minimum. They are the favorites with the women who run society for they deserve to be. The other young men, the new-rich, the spec ulators, the brokers, the thousands and one youngsters who have some claim in social recognition, mainly beca use of their money, know that they are merely hang ers-on. They realize that the sons of the old Dutch have the social call, and that any attempt to outdo them by mere money spending would be a fatal error. So they take leaf out of the leaders books, and don't spend any more than tho moneyless ones do.''

Attractinq Much Attention.

"Few articles on Birmingham have been so extensively copied in the press Of the country as that recently written by Jo- seph G. Butler, Jr., of Youngstown, ohio' one of the best known and most success ful ironmasters in the United States, said a member of the Commercial club
 MT. Butler accompanied President Co., rev and other high officials of the United states Steel Corporation, and by his keen perception and his genial manner im- pressed every one who met him. He had visited the district in the early days or Birmingham's history. He saw a bright future for mineral Alabama then, but on his recent visit he found this city even larger and handsomer than he had ex- pected.
 His article of appreciation of the dis trict is one of the strongest ever written. He says he regards the property or the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad com pany as second In importance only to that of the Carnegie Steel company as SUD- sidiary concern of the Steel Corporation. .This property,' he says, has been taken out of the speculative class and will grad ually be put upon a solid earning basis and placed in the investment class by the neopIe now in charge, who have the nec- essary capital and necessary practical as we'll as business talent

Peary Going North Aeain

over twenty years ago Robert E Peary began to hunt for the north nole ln its secluded lair and eternal ice. and he is still pursuing it. The object af his untiring pursuit is but a geograpb. 1cai point that the nautical instrument alone can locate, but a geographical point can be hunted down as we'll AS big game in Africa.
 MT. Peary has again secured from large givers enough money to re-emin his stout ship, the Roosevelt. and he IS about to sail away to his aeeus toned winter quarters on the north side of Grant Land, where he will stay unul summer comes again, when he Will make another dash" towards. il not to, the pole. Each additioha dash" covers additional ground. SC that if MT. Peary lives long enough and money continues to come in fo re-equipment, the north pole will b. cornered and compelled to confess that its isolation is ended. MT. Pear, has sufficient money on hand and a his winter quarters he will proceed t. collect dogs and Esquimaux for an other effort to touch and even to stan on the northern end of the earth axis.
 It does not appear that any goo would be accomplished by pushing O to the north pole, but Mir.

TRAVELS IN AIR-TIGHT CASE.
Woman Who Fears Draughts Is Trans
 ported In a Box.

Salisbury CN. CD Cor. New York World.
 Inclosed in a nearly air-tight wooden case. which has glass front, Mrs. Will liam Tryon arrived here in baggage car at & a. m. today from her home, Fitch burg, Mass Mrs. Tryon, middle aged and wealthy, has suffered long from ner- vous troubles and bronchitis. She be- lieyes exposure to the air aggravates her ills, and has come south to warmer climate.
 Mrs. Tryon's husband and nurse came with her. She arrived wrapped in blank cts and comforts, the precipitation was streaming from her, but she stood the trip well and seemed quite cheerful.
 Her travelling case, which was built after her designs, somewhat resembles d roomy burial casket It is comfortably upholstered, and contains clock to mark times flight and books to beguile the time. The case containing Mrs. Tryon, of course. was carried by several husky porters from the baggage car and placed in the center of the stations waiting room, right side up, with care," por- ter said Naturally, Mrs. Tryon attract ed much attention, but only wondering remarks were cast at her little glass house.
 Still, in her truly private compartment, Mrs. Tryon was put on a wagon, which hauled her around the city while her hus- band, who is president of the German Plaster company sought accommoda- tions at many boarding houses. The landladies seemed to think that Mrs. Try ons presence would not add to the gay ety of the other boarders, and several re- fused to admit her.
 Mrs. Tryon will rent cottage and en- gage a housekeeper most probably. Just as little air will be admitted to her bed room as to her travelling case. She has lived year in a room to which she has refused to admit any fresh air for fear she would die. She has complained of the cold even when she was covered with blankets and the open temperature was 80 degrees.

THE GIRL LEFT BEHIND ME.

The danes of France are fond and free, And Flemish lips are willing, And soft the maids of Italy,
 And Spanish eyes are thrilling, Still, though I bask beneath their smile, Their charms fail to bind me, And my heart falls back to Erin's Isle, To the girl I left behind me. For she's as fair as Shannon's side. And purer than its water; But she refused to be my bride. Though many year I sought her; Yet, since to France I sail'd away, Her letters oft remind me, That promis'd never\to gainsay The girl I left behind me. She says, My own dear love. coma

 My friends are rich and many. Or else, abroad with you I'd roam, A soldier stout as any; If you'll not come nor let me go, I'll think you have resigned me-" My heart nigh broke when l answered
 NO"
 To the girl I left behind me. For never shall my true love brave life of war and toiling.. And never as a skulking slave
 I'll tread my native soil on; But were free or to be freed, The battles close would find me To Ireland bound, nor message need From the girl left behind me

Uncle Remus' Death.

"The death of Joel Chandler Harris Uncle Remus) is the second of the three stars of southern humor who reached their zenith and delighted the youths of the present generation" said local newspaper man yesterday.
 'In my youth Bill Arp. Uncle Remus and Betsy Hamilton were the three star humorists appearing in the southern press in my estimation. Bill Nye was also a favorite, but I cannot count him as a southern man, though he lived in North Carolina part of the time. He was born at Shirley, Me.
 Uncle Remus,' Bill Arp and Betsy Hamilton each represented distinct type of humor and were idolized in every corner of the south, not only by the young people but grown-ups as we'll Betsy Hamilton is still living and occasionally appears on the benefit lecture platform. Bill Arp" Maj. Charles Smith, died at his home at Cartersville, Ga., several years ago.
 Harris was the greatest success of the three, far out-classing all others, even to the extent of winning worldwide rep utation in literature, but the three to- gether have been entertainers to the youth of the present generation"

Truck Growing In Alabama.

''The general tendency of the farmers in all sections of Alabama to engage in the production of fruits and vegetables for market purposes on a larger scale is encouraging and promises well for the future" said business man yesterday.
 Truck growing has interested the farmers in some sections of South and Middle Alabama for some time, but not until recently has this interest spread to North Alabama with but one or two ex- captions, where Germans have been inter ested as at Cullman for instance.
 Many acres of strawberries are being planted in Morgan county, near Hartselle Elberta peaches and tomatoes are also being successfully grown in this section Peaches are also coming to be an fm- portant crop in Etowah, DeKalb and other northeastern counties. The farmers in Madison county are planting many acres in cantaloupes and cabbages. Mar shall county Is engaging extensively In as we'll as fruits.
 Vegetables and fruits will become in few years one of the most prolific sources of revenue in the state and every effort along this line should be encouraged. We have an excellent home market at Bir- mingham and other industrial centers for everything that can be raised to eat in the state. and there is hardly any danger of oyerproduction."

great task before her by using the old Huntsville road as a basis, widening it where more width is needed, laying in it solid foundation and building it up according to modern methods This would give the state a splendid highway from the Tennessee river to perhaps Mobile Once we had a trunk highway it would be comparatively easy to build lateral roads.
 The building of a central trunk highway would be an object lesson that would be studied and initiated in every part of the state. A backbone highway would be the shortest and best way to establish a road building standard in this state.
 But whether this is to be done or not done, the good roads movement should be begun soon. In every county the Overton amendment should be dis. cussed A full discussion will lead to it's adoption, for it doesn't in itself ap- propriate a dollar of the convict money it simply permits each legislature in it's discretion to appropriate net convict earnings to road improve ments. When fully and fairly pre- sented it will command the votes of the people, and the committee in charge of the subject should get to work. The services of Senator Bank head, Congressman Underwood and State Senator Overton are certainly to be had for the asking. and no doubt other speakers can be secured, so that good roads meetings can be held in every county before the November election comes on.

ANOTHER DEAD ONE.
Wild West of Future Must Be Made
 To Order.

From the Columbia State.
 The wild west of the future will be made to order. The wild west of the present Is a manufactured article. Skilled showmen who wear patent leather shoes and high hats in win ter. exploiting Shakespeare and thu latest London plays, buy sombreros and red flannel shirts in April for a campaign under canvas. Cowboys leave their town haunts and Indians leave the vaudeville circuits and the govern ment reservations for the annual tour. The advance agent is mightier than the six sh ooter.
 The wild west is dead. Red Dog and Wolfville exist only in the books ,,f Alfred Henry Lewis and others of his ilk. Even the Yukon country is no longer wild. The Canadian northwest will have typewriters and pianos and telephones as soon as the Grand Trunk Pacific road gets it's line through to Port Simpson. The old days are dead.

 ''Uncle Remus is dead. The man with a child-heart lies cold and still. His dreams are over and the brain which was a mine of golden fancy, of the most exquisite humor and the tenderest sym pathy, will crumble away to dust. Yet, death must have few terrors for the man or the woman who turns from life's task secure in memory. After all, the most pathetic phase of our departure is the thought that we are so soon forgotten. But such fear could not have troubled Joel Chandler Harris. Uncle Remus" will not be forgotten. His fame will be perpetuated. A great love wraps him round a love that was born In the hearts of children to whom he brought delight, and in the hearts of men and women to whom he was an inspiration. The stories of Joel Chandler Harris will be handed down to future generations along with the immortal tales of Hans Christian An dersen. Georgia will be hallowed by his grave, as 1t was exalted by the rare sweetness and simplicity of his life and the imperishable work which he did.

Sir Charles LyeII In Alabama.

''I have read today with great interest an article in the South Atlantic Quar- terly for July, which should appeal to all Alabamians," said a man who keeps up with the magazines. "The article is a resume of the impressions of Sir Charles Lyell, the great British geologist, who visited Alabama in 1842 and published his impressions in a book which was widely read abroad at the time, but which is little known in this country.
 'The sketch is full of admiration for the people of the old south, but I was particularly struck with the language used by the famous scientist about this section of the state He spent some time in Tuscaloosa and with Professor Brum- ley made Ia number of geological incur sions into the surrounding country. Tell ing of one trip, Sir Charles says, We en- tered out B miles northeast of Tuscaloosa a region called Rookes valley, where rich beds of ironstone and limestone bid fair from their proximity to the coal to become one day source of great mineral wealth. In another place he says, Mrs. I.yell made many friends in Tuscaloosa, among them two ladies who were reading as pastime Goethe and Schiller in the original" E |.
