 Beware of Dark Horses.
 Although the contest has but three weeks more to run after the present week. 1t will not be surprising if some dark horse" comes into the race at the eleventh hour and wins the auto mobile. In fact it is rumored that at least one dark horse Is being groonied by his friends for this very purpose If some one should come in with fifty yearly subscriptions to The Daily and Sunday Advertiser tomorrow. for in- stance. he would have enough votes to jump into the lead at once according to the present state of the score. It would not be surprising If some dark horse' candidate did that very thing. Before 1t is done. it would behoove those already in the race to hurry to get fifty of their friends to subscribe for one year each and secure i5o.o0O votes.

Railroad Commission Has Many Cases
 Pending Hearing.
 The docket of the Alabama Railroad Commission continues to fill up for the next regular meeting on March 2. the chief application of yesterday being one from the coal bunker men of Mo- bile with reference to the time limit of unloading from trains running into the Gulf City.
 The bunker people have asked for an extension of time within which to Anload tn cir coal from the railroad cars for transfer to the steamers. to avoid the piling up of demurrage. It is claimed that the present time limit Is too exacting.
 It is very probable that the mem bers of the commission will determine upon a journey down the Alabama and the Tombigbee rivers in about two weeks for the purpose of inspecting the steamboat lines and traffic. This will be for the purpose of getting at the reasonableness of certain increases in the tariffs of boat owners on the two rivers. application for which was flled at the last meeting of the com mission.

WRITING MORE INSURANCE IN 1908

 Charles 4. Peabody, President ot the Mutual Life Insurance Company, in commenting yesterday upon the companys business for. 1907 and the rropspects for the coming year, said<
 The new Insurance whitten 50 far this year greatly exceeds that of the corresponding period of 1907, and the ratio of increase Is advancing every week. This Is owing to several causes, chief among them being the Increase in the agency force which the corn pany has built up. The cash and loan values of the company's policies have also been largely increased.
 Not the least of the changes con. tributing to the return of confidence Is the improvement of the annual div idends of the company, In 1907 the Mutual Life paid out for dividends the sum of S4,321.4 1.493.34. while Ss.3ll.- oO2.o2 had been appropriated for the purpose in 1908. The increase on this item in the case of the Mutual Iife Is due, among other causes. to a material advance in the dividend scale, to a larger number of maturing twenty year distribution policies. etc.
 Tn respect to the dividends paid in 1907. 1t is noteworthy that the sum of s2.s22.42s.se4 or more than s5 per cent was applied to the purchase of paid up insurance. Indicating the confidence of policyhoiderE in the company. To the same effect may be mentioned the circumstance that one-fourth of the new insurance written in 1907 was ap- piled for by existing policyholders.
 The new premiums resolved last year amounted to se.3e2. 2.3S0.s2, and the renewal premiums to ss0,27e,S19.bY, making the total premium income s56,- ss,2002o. The commissions to agents on renewal premiums were S9s2, ,2S5.- 2e. This item amounts to lesa than per cent. of the total renewal prem iums collected" Adv.

Soften through autumn, till the SHOWS

Their many paths the valley through!

duel one day, according to Il writer in

spirit of contradiction, and had the char
acteristics of a fighter. Once when tray
cling in Lombardy he was in a railway
compartment with an army officer who
did not recognize him. Conversation
turned upon the latest literary produc-
lions. They spoke of poem by the
author of "Odes Barbares,' which had
just appeared.

with enthusiasm, lis n superb genius!

Right Way for Roads to Run.

1t has now been discovered that if we
want to be happy and healthy we must
live in reads which run from north. to
those who live in roads which run from
east to west are invariably found to be
depressed and dropping like flowers
which are not doing well. This is fact
which we can each put to the test by
noticing whether those of our friends
who live between these two points of
the compass are less CHEEKY than those
who live between north and south.
Without doubt there is something in the
theory. which amounts to this, that the
roads running north to south get all the
morning sunshine and best light. and in
the morning human beings, like plants,
require these, or their tempers, health

Despite developments in aerial and
cable communication there is still room
for mysteries, especially on the Pacific
ocean and the South sea. The steamer
Aeon, which left San Francisco for Aus
tralia on the 9th of July, has just been
heard from, after the friends of her pas
sengers and crew had almost abandoned
hope that she would ever again steam
into port. United States cruisers were
sent in search of her without result. 1t
is now learned from Victoria that the
passengers of the Aeon, whose fate is
left in doubt by the brief dispatch, are
safe on Christmas island, large low
atoll in the Pacific which is visited oc-
casionally by guano ships. When the
wireless method of telegraphing is still
further developed for communication be.
tween ship and shore there will be no
opportunity for such wearing suspense
as has been experienced by the friends
of those on board the Aeon.

Those who have been filed with alarm
ms to the future supply of coal, by asser-
tons on the part of so-called authori-
ties that increasing use and waste are
rapidly exhausting the supply, ought to
find comfort in a statement in the Tech
nical World magazine by the geologist
of the Crows Nest Pass Company, a
Canadian coal corporation, that some
thing like 22,000,000,000 tons of coal are
stored away in an area overlapping the
Rocky mountains and embracing 230
square miles, and that still further to
the eastward, in the western part of the
province of Assiniboia, there is fully as
much more, making the aggregate of
these two deposits 1860 100000 tons.
While these tremendous deposits are be-
ing worked, the coal prospector is con-
tinually scratching the earth in search
of more, which win be found periodically
in the course of time, for the alienation
of future days.
