 One of the most pleasant features of perusals of our brother editors edi- torial effusions.
 A Good Chance Was Thrown Away. Brewton News.
 All that talk about leap year pro posals Is bosh-at least insofar as 1t concerns us. Not a single one has come our way yet;
 Reform of the Queer Kind. Jacksonville Record.
 Pay men big salaries. to make laws so strenuous that 1t takes S5V,VOO appropriation to try to enforce them. This is reform for you-yes, plenty, we hope.
 Agony Soon Over. DadsvilIe Spot Cash.
 The agony of the candidates will all be over within about five weeks. Along toward the home stretch things will get lively and all the runners" will be heard from. Sound Philosophy. opelika Post. It has been well said that one will not be happy when rich if he does not therefore we should study to be hap py in our work. in our difficulties and even in our defeat. A Remarkable Negro.

 Emphatic Advice. Monroeville Journal.
 Governor Conner expresses his will: | ingness to call another extra session Of the Legislature if 1t appears necessary | in order to secure the enforcement Of the States laws. Don't do it, Gov bad enough alone.

Jasper News. 1 if every man in Alabama who voted for prohibition and every one who says l he is opposed to carrying concealed | weapons would totally abstain from the use of liuuor and from loading himself with firearms. 1t would do more toward suppressing the blind tiger and bank rupting the gunshops than all the courts of the State. Last Extra Session e Warning. Marion County News.

But the tax payers foot the bills. First time in history. no doubt, where law was enacted and a special appropriation of funds from the State treasury made at the samo time to enforce that law. 
 Too Big n Job. Elba Clipper.
 Congressman Tom Hefiin is a very active young man, an industrious Con- l gressman; he's been after the bucket shops and the street cars in Congress and now his chivalry has gotten hin into the courts. We can not help ad- miring Hefiin. and respecting his chi l valry yet we think possibly it's toe big a task to attempt to clean up | Washington, and that he had best have | saved chivalrous impulses for use | where they'd be more appreciated and less expensive.
 The Song of the Willows.
