Improvement of Roads

With the inauguration of new road system in Jefferson the year 1908 should mark an era in the improve ment of our highways. The work of betterment once under way, there must be no recession on the part of the county authorities.
 Every county in the state should be traversed by good roads, and Jefferson, the largest and most populous, should have the model highways. With roads properly made it costs comparatively little to maintain them. And with the right kind of supervision macadam roads can be kept in prime condition in winter as well as summer. Jeffer- son county is financially able to have the best and the people have made up their minds that only the best must be the rule.
 If road building is pushed during the spring and summer real estate values in all the nearby towns and in Birmingham itself will be enhanced and farm values in this section will reach higher levels. No public ex- penditures bring such quick or such substantial results as those for paving a city and those for cherting or mac adamizing the roads of a county. Now that all our citizens understand and appreciate this proposition, Jefferson must lose no time in redeeming itself.

CALLING IN SPAIN.

From the New York American.
 Calling in Spain bhstles with ceremony When 8 first visit is paid, the hostess says at parting: Your honor has taken pos session of your house, for all have is yours.''
 If anything during the call is admired, the remark follows at once: Tt is at your disposal
 . The answer to which must be: ''I hope my hostess will enjoy it for many years"
 When means allow of it. a woman has her box at the theatre. In thIs the scene between the acts often resembles an "at home" while at the end of the play visit ing is carried on for an hour or more while the audience is nominally awaiting it's carriages.
 A hardship in Spanish woman's life is the long periods of mourning into which she is plunged for even quite distant relatives. For cousin, seen perhaps but once, and who has died 100 miles away black is worn for a year, during which time all visiting is stopped, the piano Is locked, and no one looks out of the window.

Little Rocks Abnormality

The home of President Kavanaugh and the scene of Manager Finn's sum- mer labors is a pleasant, popular city, and everybody hopes it will grow to metropolitan proportions. But every body does not desire to see 1t stay Tn the Southern league. It is night ride or a days ride from the Missis- sippi river. The Father of Waters bounds the league on the west, the Blue Ridge on the east, and Birming- ham is. if not its prophet, its hub.
 There is nothing in the world the matter with Little Rock excxept it's location. which it cannot help. It would doubtless have preferred loca- ton on the big river. It is located we'll up the Arkansas river, and every mile travelled by any one of the seven other teams west of the Mississippi is a tax imposed on account of Little Rocks unfortunate location. Little Rock has, however, a legal right to impose the mileage tax, but it is de- batable question whether it has a moral right to do it after it receives fair offer for it's franchise. Chatta- nooga is rapidly becoming full of sportive individuals and wet goods, and there seems to be no reason why the two towns cannot dicker.
 If Chattanooga had the Little Rock franchise the Southern league would become at once model of compact ness and light travel in class A. The change impends, and if need be the other teams should aid the booming town of Chattanooga to get back to tie league it assisted in organizing.

HARpY,s POETIC. DRAMA.

From the New York Times.
 The extraordinary poetic drama which is occupying MT. Thomass Hardy-"The Dynasts"-goes on toward completion. The third part is announced by the Messrs. Macmillan. The two first parts of this vast undertaking failed to obtain the at tention they undoubtedly deserve. MT. Hardy is writing a work laid out on scale which surpasses any literary pro- duction of the mind of mana survey of the Napoleonc drama as this would have been viewed by intelligences su- perior to man. The action. as 1t goes on on earth, is viewed from above by the Time-Spirit the Chorus of the Years, the Spirits of Pity, of Hate. the Recording Angel, etc., and view not alone of hu- man affairs, but. of cosmic processes, is spread before the shuddering apprehension of the reader. In this work MT. Hardy appears as pantheistic fatalist, to whom the universe is a sort of colossal semi conscious brain, dimly striving to ends determined in twilight of intelligence. It is curious that this work-curious, in- deed, that such scene as that of the battle of Austerlitz-has not been recog- nized as among the most powerful pro- ductions of the modern mind.

To Key West and Havana

Trains are now moving from Miami to Knights Key, a scanty island 10S miles furth0 south and west. No one wants to stay at Knights Key, and boats carry passengers speedily to Key West, AT miles further on.
 MT. Flagler began the work of ex- tending the Florida East Coast rail- road to Key West in 1905, and tl0 work between Knights Key and Key , West is well under way, and the entire line will be finished before the close of another year. The road will cross AZ islands and islets, and it will have waterway intervals that aggregate six miles.
 When it is completed Pullman cars will be put on floats and the passenger willsbe landed in Havana in ten hours, the distance being 90 miles, A swift steamer could cross the strait in five or six hours.

Government Coal Lands

The department of the interior with drew from sale or entry about 70,000.- GOO acres of public lands. It did this in order to ascertain what were coal lands and what were not. Already it has ascertained that 5,16S,522 acres are coal-bearing.
 These acres are withheld from en- try or sale, and Secretary Garfield pro poses that these coal lands be leased. Under the leasing method the govern ment would retain control of them, and there is a growing feeling that the waste in our coal and timber resources needs to be checked.
 The conservation of our remaining timber and fuel supplies is a question that deeply concerns future genera tions, and it is believed that Congress will sustain the secretary of the in terior and the President in their ef- forts to promote it. The coal lands in the far west are at any rate tied up, and none of them will be disposed of until the question of leasing is de- termined.
