 q have treated within year women whose weekly bill for champagne alone was s1O0 and who filled up the intervals between their draughts of wine With highballs and cocktails. One woman drank A quart of champagne every morn ing and when ready to go out her cus- tom was to order her maid to bring her another quart Then before leaving the house to enter her carriage she would empty the bottle to steady her nerves
 School misses and college girls Tn great numbers are among the throng of women drinkers A case was pointed out recent ly of a luncheon given here in New fork at which "A debutantes drank 36 bottles of champagne, and 15 of them smoked seven dozen cigarettes.
 "As everyone knows, the punch bowl figures largely in the growth of the drink habit among women of New York. It is found at all functions, and many girl has got her first taste of liquor by 0 dip into it. The punch bowl. however is not to be blamed entirely. Many wom- en dip into it and may do it many times without acquiring the drink habit but many get their start there. It does give them the taste of liquor and then, with many of them, the taste for liquor.

RAILROAD MAN DEAD.

 Atlantic Passes Away.

Atlanta, January 11.-(Special.) )-Wil1ie J. Swain, auditor for the Atlanta Bir- mingham and Atlantic railroad, died sud- denly and unexpectedly after a short ill., ness with grip at the Presbyterian hos pital yesterday afternoon. Mir Swain be- came ill Thursday one week ago. He is survived by his wife, mother and three brothers of Norwood, Ga, and one brother connected with the Atlanta, Birming- ham and Atlantic road. MT Swain had been connected with the road since its inception in 1896 and was regarded as one of the best posted railroad men in the south. Two years ago he married Miss Pauline Sessions of Waycross, Ga. Funeral services will probably be held Sunday at Norwood.

Surprised at Early Date.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I have observed statement in several of our dalies that the Confederate Vet erans' reunion would be held on June 9, 10 and II next From whence this state ment emanated, 1 am not aware. l was present at the meeting of the joint com mittee of Mayor and aldermen, the Board of Trade, the Commercial club and Camp Hardee In that meeting the time of hold ing the Confederate Veterans reunion was discussed and q lafer date than that above was agreed upon, and for good rea- sons assigned, the date was withheld from publication. It was necessary to confer with proper authorities and recommend the date agreed upo and according to my recollection l wa requested to do this at the proper time. ] am sure there must be some mistake Somewhere. The early days of June, in my opinion, would be in- appropriate. The farmers of the south ern states constitute, by far the largest

too many explosions with dust, and as we all well know that the way coal is burned out of the solid with powder and dynamite, that this is the cause of so much dust, but as to the dust l do not believe in sprinkling water on top of the dust. I say take the dust away, then sprinkle; this can be done and it will avoid a dust explosion; that is If the road and the return air course be cleaned and sprinkled once every week, and by all means a shot firer should be in every mine which has dust and gas Then if an explosion should happen there would not be so many lives lost.
 Mine managers, state inspectors, legis- lators and engineers deplore the losses of life resulting from these accidents, but all are waiting for others to provide remedy when the probable causes of an explosion are discussed. Mining men seem to think it necessary to drop their voices to a whisper for fear some one will find out something to involve the company or per haps show a weakness in the state min ing law.
 If the general public were to realize how little is known concerning the nature of gas and dust explosions, it is most likely that a general demand would be made for some action to clear up the con- fusion of ideas now prevailing. If all mining men who have practicable experi~ ence concerning mine explosions would make their opinions public, the discus sions that would follow would surely be of great benefit to the mining industry. I could say a great deal more on this, but I want to leave room for some of my mining friends to fill. Let us hear from some one soon. JAMES KELSO.

Would Hold Good Cotton.

To the Editor of The Age-Herafd:
 My estimate, 11,2Oooo bales, for the cot ton crop was published November 10. I am now confident the crop is less than Il 100000 bales. The total cotton crop Of the world is estimated at more than 4.5O0 O0O bales less than last years crop. The ginners' report proves that the good crops have been produced where labor is plentiful, and this shows that the crop has been picked and ginned fast. A large per cent of the last 100000 bales ginned is low grade, and farmers will not hold low grade cotton. If you are holding good cotton, be sure you hold it for the next 20 days. J. NJ MASON.

LETTERS TO THE -DITOR.
More About Mine Explosions.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 The month of December 1907, should cause every mine man to stop and think. The loss of life in mine explosions is something horrible to think of, and l think the time has come when something should be done. We all we'll know that the majority of our coal mines in Ala bama are dangerous. and always will be- but to suppress factsiis doing an in- justice to everyone concerned-the oper- ators miners and widows and orphans because whenever an explosion occurs and it reaches the ears of some shyster lawyer he gets in hurry to secure case for damages, and the poor widow or injured one shoulders the damages and the lawyer pockets the fee. The duty of the state through it's legislature is to look well to the protection of its citizens, and the time has come for the legislature to devise some means for minimizing the danger and for the care of the widows and orphans who are left behind know of no better plan than to tax each operator in the state of Alabama, say 1ac per ton on every ton of coal they ship annually, ana pTONlut TOT q cOtiithitee u uN pdS ments to the widows and orphans. I think such plan as this If the explosions were proven to be the operators fault, would not be so hard on one operator, as each operator would be helping the other to meet these disasters, for these accidents have been and will continue to be dust and gas explosions where we have good mine managers in charge of the work;
 but there are many men in charge that should not be, because they have never worked with gas, and they simply do not know anything about it, yet because they hold a first-class certificate, which they should not hold. they are placed in charge
 and hold in stIieir care the lives of hun dreds of men.
 No man should hold frst-class certifi- cate without he has had actual practical experience in working in gaseous mines We have mines in this state which are very far advanced under ground, and who | can tell to the old, abandoned work | ings? There may be a large body of | gas in these old workings that no one
 knows anything about. There might come | very large fall at any time and force | this gas out so as to catch from d man l lamp. and then another awful mine dis | aster. and there may not be one left to | tell the tale, yet some will say it was dust and some gas. We certainly have

 ican.
 To fill a long felt want John Dope will in a few days place on the market the first of his duckturks. a new breed of fowl especially designed for families that cannot agree as to the Christmas din ner.
 MT Dope has found that in So families out of 100 some members favor turkey and others incline toward duck. So many disputes have arisen that in the interest of domestic tranquility he spent two years originating a cross between the duck and the turkey.
 This product of mans ingenuity takes on the characteristics of both. It has webbed feet and a white breast, drum stick legs and duck wings. It can swim, and it can roost in trees
 Mir. Dope is so well pleased with his success that he is planning to improve the hybrid with the goose and the suck ling pig so that ultimately he will have the ideal Christmas dish, to which no per son can find fault. He says he will not try to give the whole thing a roost-beet flavor, since there are limits to his capa- bilitieS

King Edwards Private Car.

Lyceumite and Talent.
 A London paper tells of the royal train built for King Edward by the London and Northwestern Railway company. While some continental sovereigns have had railway coaches built for them at the expense of the state or of their own privy purse, the ro.'al trains provided by the London and Northwestern and two or three of ,e other English com panies have been constructed at the com panies' own expense. They then remain the railways property, the members of the royal family paying their fares like ordinary passengers, with merely the usual charge for q special train. The most elaborate precautions are taken to insure the safety of the King s train, a pilot engine running 15 minutes in ad- vance throughout the entire journey. The train itself contains a saloon de signed for His Majesty, with a smoking room, a day saloon. bed room and dressing room, all equipped with hand some furniture.
