The Elephants Feet,

Accustomed to the dry climate of the
Indies, the elephants imported to tenn.
perate and rainy countries are subject
to many diseases of the flesh and skin
to which the veterinary surgeons of
national and municipal geological gar.
dens are compelled eto give the closest
watch. The smallest scratch on the
sole OF an elephants foot is apt to be.
come serious unless Immediately treat

ing through a wilderness, grows in
captivity as rapidly as the finger nails
Of a human being. The veterinary sur.
Igeon trims these nails or horned sub
stances with a chisel and mallet.

Life Of the Railway Man

Tralnmen are the class Of workers
most subject to long, irregular hours of
duty, and there is nothing so likely to
make man unneryed and unfit for
dangerous work as this The strain of
long hours and the restlessness of irreg-
ularity soon find out the strongest and
most robust of men. Little wonder,
then, that we find them with prema-
turely gray heads. Railroad Review.

A father and son involved them
selves by marriage in a curiously tan
gled relationship. The son chose an
elderly widow, and the father married
her daughter. A child was born to
each couple. The difficult question at
once arose. What relationship was one
child to the other?

Indefinitely Postponed

Various opponents of MT. Bryan have been proclaiming a conference in New York which was touted to become the means of defeating the great Nebras- kan under the two-thirds rule. This man and that man were to attend 1t, and it was to have been held today in New York.
 It has been indefinitely postponed, and despite all deliyerances to the con trary it k plain it is never to be as- sembled. It will never be held because of the fact that non-attendance would bring to light the meagre opposition to MT. Bryan's nomination.
 The dispersion of the New York clique may in all prudence be regarded as the downfall of all organized oppo- sition to the nomination of the peoples leader who has never faltered In vic tory or in defeat, and who stands to- day more strongly entrenched in the hearts of the people than ever before.
 Birmingham democracy rejoices in the fact that the so-called old-lin6 dem- ocrats of New York surrendered just as the coming standard-bearer of united and harmonious democracy was approaching this city. It will gladden. his Alabama friends who will gather here today, and it will fill all who be- iieve in the rule of the many by the many with that enthusiasm which presages victory.

TELEPHONE MEN MEET.
Representatives of Independent Com
 panies Hold Conference.

Chicago, January 22-Practically ev- cry state in the union and several Ca nadian provinces were represented at the opening session in Chicago today of the convention of the International Independent Telephone association. More than HOO delegates and members were present, besides a large number of manufacturers and dealers.
 The question of having telephones de- clared to be common carriers, advo- cated by certain telephone interests, but opposed by the independent companies, Is to come up for discussion. Another matter that will claim attention is a proposed assessment of two mills on each "operating unit' or lamp" which would amount to an income for the companies, 1t is said, of s60,000 a year.
 President Theodore Cary, of Macon. Ga, in his annual address, said that the independent companies were able to give service at lower rates for the reason that the system being owned locally. it was to the interest of every body to see that heavy expenses were not entailed.

RAIN OF BULLETS
 ENDS TWO LIVES

New York, January 22.-Sweeping into the crowded restaurant which takes up the eighth floor of Macy's department store, and into the gentlemen's cafe. today tall, stylishly dressed woman bent for a moment over the shoulder of diner, whispered something in his ear and then, drawing a revolver from her huff, emptied the contents of the five chambers into his body. As the victim, Frank Brady, a newspaper advertising solicitor, slipped lifeless to the floor, the woman flung the weapon from her, and taking a second revolver from her huff shot herself first in the head and then twice in the breast. She died half an hour later.
 note found in the womans purse proved her to be Mrs. Mary Roberts Clark manicurist, the widow of police officer and step-mother of 6-year-old son. Raymond Brady was 30 years old and the sole support of a helpless aged mother, for whom he had made a home.
 The shooting was the continuation of a series of violent quarrels, and, accord ing to the womans intimates, in fulfill ment of threat to murder Brady in 4 public place.
 The suicide, who was about 30 years of age was Mary Mclean when she married John Roberts. When the latter died a year ago she assumed the name of Clark and supported herself and child first as the wardrobe woman at an up town theatre and then as a manicurist. She was of prepossessing appearance and had marked business ability. While she was in prosperous circumstances and before the death of her husband Brady had lodgings at her home, and she de- clared that she helped him to the success which he subsequently, attained. A few months ago he left her home and made a home for his mother, whom he brought from New Jersey. Recently Mrs. Clark thought that Brady was avoiding her, and when he called at her home occa- sionally they .quarreed. Today Mrs. Clark went to her bank, made a cash deposit, wrote note identifying herself and re- ferring the reader to her attorney, and armed with three revolvers went to the store where she knew that Brady usually lunched.
 She made her way hastily to a small smoking room for gentlemen, just off the main dining hall. The blg room was filled with women who were lunching after the mornings shopping, and amid the buzz of converse tion her agitated manner attracted the attention only Of the waitresses.
 In a moment she stood behind Brady's chair and spoke to him. Before he had time to reply she had showed revolver in his face and commenced firing. The head, the neck, the shoulder, the breast and the abdomen were successively pierced by bullets and Brady lay dead at her feet. Giving one glance to the half dozen men nearby who were momentarily stunned by the pitiess murder Mrs. Clark whipped another weapon from her furs and put 8 bullet near her right ear and two others in her breast.
 consternation and there was a rush for the elevators. Employees of the place quickly closed the doors, shutting off a view of the smoking room and treasured the women patrons, few of whom realized what had occurred. The police broke the news to Bradys aged mother and the Gerry society took charge of the dead woman's body

Concerninu Railroads

Tennessee has 3575 miles of rail- road This is a reasonable amount or railroad track, but it is not evenly dis tributed. for there are 14 counties in that state that never hear a railroad whistle. It is not surprising that there are no railroads in the mountain coun- ties of Tennessee, but it does surprise one to read that there are rich agri- cultural counties in middle Tennessee without railroad facilities, counties like Cannon and DeKalb.
 Alabama has 1853 miles of railroad track. and she has but one county that Is not connected with the general rail road system of the country. That county Is Choctaw, but even in Choc- Jaw locomotive whistle is often heard on lumber roads, and some day some of these lumber roads will be extended to Meridian or to some other station on the line of an established system, and then the 67 counties of Alabama will each and all be equipped with transportation facilities.
 After the Atlanta, Birmingham Aand Atlantic, and the Illinois Central, and the Mobile and Ohio railroads are f1n- ished to this city this year, the rail road mileage of Alabama will be req sonably complete, although lines from St. Andrews bay to Opelika, and line from Mobile to Florence along the westerly boundary of the state are greatly needed, and will no doubt in time be built.

 In New OreIans.


 New Orleans, January 22.-(Snecia1A The United States circuit court ot on peals for the Fifth circuit handed down the following opinions yester- day:
 No. 1742. Alabama National bank of Birmingham vs. ". NJ. Smith. trustee from the Northern district of Alabama The Judgment of the district court is affirmed.

 No. l69s Eric P. Swenson ct al. vs. John W. Cunningham
 No. 1856. National Bank of Commerce vs Mason Williams, trustee
 No. 170S. Central Coal and Coke com pany vs. Doc W. Sutton.
 NO. lf42 was a suit brought in the United States district court at Annfston by William M. Smith, as trustee of the Anniston Rolling Mill company, a bank rupt, against the Alabama National bank of Birmin gham. The case was tried before jury and verdict was rendered in favor of the plaintiff for the sum of $21,790.66 on the sth of March, 1907. The action was brought to recover money which it Is claimed was paid or transferred by the bank rupt to the defendant within four months before the filing of the petition in bankruptcy under circumstances constituting a preference. Hon. Harry T. Toulmin presided during the trial of the case, which was contested vigor- ously by both sides. Among the wit nesses who testified upon the hearing were Senator Joseph F. Johnston, w. L. Sims, president of the Anniston Rolling Mill company; J. B. Cobbs, president of the Alabama National bank; J. H. Warden of Richmond, Va, secretary of the Anniston Rolling Mill company, and W. M Smith,, trustee. The Anniston Rolling Mill company owed at the time of its suspension about $40,0 900, and on February 2S, 1903, it failed to meet It's weekly payroll. The company was not operated after this, and on March 10, 1903, at a meeting of creditors, com mittee was appointed consisting of w. w. Stringfellow, Morris Adler, ". M. Smith, w. L. Sims and c. A. Stillman, all of whom were creditors except w. l.. Sims, who was president of the com pany. The assets were turned. over to the committee to be disposed of to the best advantage, and the rolling mill was sold and J. H. Harden was ap- pointed agent to sell the raw material, etc. The property was sold to the Vel Ter Rolling Mill and Forge company on April 27 for $20,963.

local conditions entirely wanting, but all the road making material had to be hauled into the county from distant points. The public being once aroused the authorities spared no efforts in making up for lost time. The trans formation has been wonderful The roads were macadamized according to the most approved plans and they are kept in thorough repair. The original @st may have been large, but every foot of real estate in Jackson, the county seat has been greatly enhanced in value and so, too, has every acre of farm land within the borders of the county reached higher levels of value. The population of the county is in- creasing fast, and all this progress is due directly to good roads.
 If the investment in road building was profitable to Madison county, Ten nessee, such a thing would be even more profitable to our county of lief ferson. The most thickly populated part of Jefferson is to all intent and purposes semi-urban. It is dotted over with mining camps; and the rural sec tions of the county are divided into small farms. mostly truck farms, that need easy road connection with Bir- mingham Every road here, where road building material is close at hand and inexpensive, should be a good road. There is no possible excuse for the condition being otherwise. A new system is demanded The public has decreed that bad roads must be soon things of the past; and the present agitation will not cease until the work of improvement is well under way.

John MitcheII's Farewell

The official retirement of President John Mitchell from the organization of United Mine Workers was touching as we'll as important event. He retires because of i'll ehalth after a service of nine years and seven months, in which time he had in- creased the membership from 9731 in 1897, when he took charge of the or ganization, to membership of 263, ,726 in 1907, with an accumulated fund of $500, ,O0O.
 MT. Mitchell won the confidence of the operators without losing that of the miners. All respected his capacity, sincerity and downright honesty. He was fair and just to all interests, never losing sight, however, of the objects of, the organization of United Mine Workers.
 It will be difficult to fill his place, for men are not found everywhere who can steer labor organizations through numerous battles as discreetly as MT. Mtchell did in his nine years of serv- ice. In his annual report he bade the organized miners an official farewell. and little later in the day he drew tears to the eyes of many a hardy miner when he declined gift from

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Prosperity In Texas,

Beaumont Texas, is more prosperous and her future brighter than ever before" said Robert H. Rose, a Texas newspaper man. formerly editor of the Enterprise of that city. "The bottom of the down grade was reached in 1906 with the wind ing up of many wildcat oil companies and a general housekeeping, made neces- sary by the accumulation of a vast quan- tity of debris through years of wild spec ulation The Spndletop field still pro duces an average of 5000 barrels of oil daily and the product of all the South east Texas fields is piped to the refneries at Beaumont, Port Neches and Port Ar thur. Humble, Sour Lake. Saratoga and Dayton supply more than 2O,0o0 barrels per diem of fuel oil, most of which has heretofore been used by the refneries.
 Two great pipe lines to the Oklahoma fields will hereafter supply a large per centage of the lighter gravity oils for refining purposes, leaving the heavier Texas oils for use as fuel. The perma- hence of the oil industry is assured.
 Nearly half a million dollars worth of rice is grown in Jefferson county, Texas. alone each season and three large HllllS prepare the crops or much auJacent territory f1 market.
 Beaumont is headquarters for a dozen large lumber corporations, whose annual business Is of vast proportions. These sources of wealth mean solid prosperity and steady growth for many years. The dredging of a deep water canal to the gulf at Sabine Pass will make of Beau mont a port for oceangoing tonnage. Beaumonters, therefore. are sanguine and not without reason. The population today is reckoned at 27,O00 and vacant business or residence property is practically un- known.
 Texas generally has enjoyed remark able prosperity for the past five years in every line of commerce and agricul- ture. The only thing that is the mat ter with Texas is the peculiar legisla- tion of her alleged solons. The people are lost in amazement at the achieve ments In original lawmaking and sim ply say, What next?' Railroad building, so far as new projects are concerned, will amount to practically nothing until the railroad commission ceases from in-e spring such adverse and drastic meas ures against the railroad corporations; but Texas is too big, too prosperous and too resourceful for permanent injury from any cause whatever"

A County's Best Asset

Among the best evidences of a city's progressive character are well paved streets and good drainage. And what, the street is to the city the country road Is to the environs of the city and the outlying districts of the county. But there is this difference: In the city the public school system ranks first in importance, while in the coun- try the county road should come even ahead of the school. Without good roads public schools are lacking in attendance, if not in efficiency. Good tchools follow logically good highways Therefore, wherever one finds first class roads one finds also earnest, fruitful school work.
 Nothing so we'll advertises county as good road building. It is by far the hest asset county could have. Take as an example Madison county, Ten nessee. Not many years ago its roads were in wretched condition. Today its principal highways are like boule- yards and it's most remote roads are passable in winter as well as in sum- mer. And Madison county has accom- plished the change with great odds a~ainst it. Not only were favorable
