 Marion County News: The people of Birmingham are resoluting on the non- enforcement of the law in that city. We have plenty of good laws, but in too many cases they are not enforced to any alarming extent
 Pell City Progress: A Birmingham minister offers $10 for every drink sold him in that city so great is his faith in prohibition prohibiting. We did not know ministers wanted whisky so badly or had the wealth to pay that price for it.
 Ashland Standard: Birmingham and Montgomery are to have state fairs this fall both of which are advertised in The Standard. The people of Clay should not have been satisfied without a display at both places, but since they are to have none, let as many as can attend one or both of these exhibits and see what we have missed
 Chattanooga Star: A Birmingham hu- morist is credited with the statement that no longer do the falling leaves mark the arrival of autumn-it's the sweetly stirring sense of mothballs that permeates the sacred portals of the house of wor- ship that rings the knell of departed summer. That's a joke. Whoever heard of a Birminghammer attending church often enough to know the differences be- tween mothballs and violets?

it is good for the interests of any state to have two strong political parties. It will not be until the negroes take more interest in politics that North Carolina will approach the doubtful stage. We have any number of intelligent educated negroes in the professions and industries of the state, but they do not take the trouble to qualify themselves for voting, for the reason that they have no standing in either party and are never considered in the conventions or political gatherings. It is my firm belief that Bryan will be elected. He is not the same Bryan of 1896, If he has made a mistake in any of his utterances in this campaign have been unable to discover it, and unless there is marked change of sentiment among the people between now and Nos vember, I am confident that the demo~ cratic national ticket will be elected
 MT. Sherman In Vaudeville. From the Record-Herald.
 MT. James S. Sherman. candidate for Vice President, said in an address which he delievered in this city: 'I speak for little Willie as well as myself"
 The reference was to MT. Taft, who is at the head of MT. Sherman's ticket, and If MT. Sherman thought that it was amus- ing he was mistaken.
 Such pleasantries are offensive when they come from the buffoons of the cana paign. They are grossly improper in 8 candidate for Vice President, who should never sacrifice the dignity that is de- manded of him in a painful effort to be funny"

Lafollette's Brother. for Bryan.

From the Chicago RecordHerald.
 The democratic national committee is making capital of the attitude of William T. Lafollette, brother of Senator Robert M. Lafollette of Wisconsin,, and the pub licity bureau yesterday was jubilant when it learned that MT. Lafollette had de- clared in favor of Bryan for President. The following interview from the sen ator's brother was made public:
 Bob is simply supporting MT. Taft for the sake of party regularity in much the same way that MT. Bryan supported Parker four years ago. His heart. how ever, is with Bryan and the principles for which he stands. Bob ought to be a democrat. know the felings of the men who are the supporters of my brother in Wisconsin, and know they are going to vote for the great commoner."
 That shows which way the wind is blowing" said Josephus Daniels, director of the democratic publicity bureau. In this sentiment he was supported by Charles Bryan, brother of the democratic nominee, who arrived in Chicago yester- day. Brother Charles is aiding in the management of MT. Bryans campaign tour and he met William Lafollette while Bryan was touring Wisconsin last week.

New York battle-ground.

New York battle-ground.
 From the New York Herald.
 Developments of the last few days have shown conclusively that both the repub- lican and democratic campaign managers regard New York state as the real pattie- ground of the presidential fight, and nave shown also that within week or " days one of the most enthusiastic ana nict,resoue canvasses ever made in the east will be in full swing in every one or the 61 counties.
 Moved by optimistic claims made by the democrats and by reports of democratic activity in the remotest sections of the Empire state. Frank H. Hitchcock, re- publican national chairman, yesterday sent for Timothy L. Woodruff, republican state chairman; Herbert Parsons, presl- dent of the republican county committee and William L. Ward, national commit teeman from New York and one or the most astute politicians in the country ana for an hour went over with them the situation in the state.
 The three leaders told him of the re- ports that had been made by their lieu tenants in all sections of the state ana outlined the plans they have mapped out for the October campaign. It is under stood that Mr. Hitchcock impressed upon them the urgency of getting into full ac- ton at once and making vigorous can yass up to the day of election.
 He has said he has no doubt New fork will give it's electoral vote to MT. Tart. but he has added that he believes the re- publican organization should leave no stone unturned to get out every repub- lican vote.
 None of the men at the conference would discuss what took place, except to say the New York state situation was taken up and was found to be "very good"
 While this was going on William J. Con- ners, at democratic state headquarters, in the Hoffman house, was appointing the executive committee to have charge of the campaign in the state and making predictions of sweeping victory.
 Francis Burton Harrison was named as chairman of the new committee. He was sent for by MT. Corners late in the after noon and was told he had been selected.
 q am very glad to get into the fight" Representative Harrison said to group of newspaper men after he had accepted the chairmanship. because it is going to be a winning fight. I have been up state recently, and I want to say the strength of MT. Bryan is very much underesti- mated Likewise Is the strength of Mir. Chanler underestimated. This is to be a democratic year and nothing can stop it. I shall be here every day from now on, and as soon as the committee is or ganized we shall carry our campaign into avery nook and corner of the state"
