What the State Papers
 Are Saying and Doing

AIe Sdyfng ana Doins
 Peaches and Cream. Gadsden Journal.
 There yin be peaches and cream mand the cream-the peaches will come easy.
 Could If they Would. Russellville Times. Ns should make thousands of dollars out of stock raising.
 He's a Fun Grown Peach.
 MT. Turnipseed. of Bullock. is the peach king of Alabama. and not tur' nip raiser.
 Misguided Creatures. Talladega Mountain Home.
 It is stated a home is to be built in Atlanta for bachelors. Poor. mis. guided creatures. they should be told a woman in it.
 Ne Property Sold for Taxes. Lafayette s.un.
 Barrow. informs us that not single property owner in the county failed to pay the 1907 tax: hence we have no delinquent tax sale.
 
 Churches and Schools. Moulton Advertiser.
 Moulton has at last walked up from its Rip Van Wikle sleep, and Is now Clothes. It is certain that we are to have two new churches, and we hardly think there is any doubt but that we will be called upon to build two school houses.
 No Election Method Reform. Gadsden Journal.
 We fear Teddy Is going to let the present Congress get away from him purity, in politics. The President is riotousI for reform in everything but election methods.
 Life Not, So Dark and Dreary.
 Business Is still off in many sections of the country, but baseball is warming up, and the fans are decidedly of the opinion that life is not as dark and dreary as 1t is sometimes pictured
 Indiana Pie.
 Anniston Star.
 An Indiana man who ate seven pies died a few minutes after completing the job. If he had confined his CT forts to political pie. like most of his fellow citizens of Indiana are doing he might have been living yet.
 Daft on Blackberries. Union Springs Herald.
 week ago the blackberry bushes in Bullock looked as if thy had caught ter. How beautiful they were! but the promise was far more beautiful than the bleached blossoms. We're daft on the blackberry.
 A Splendid Meeting. Sylacauga Advance.
 The fact that nearly one thousand teachers and educators attended the State Educational Association in Mont gomery demonstrates that the people of Alabama are awakening along edu- cational lines and that Alabama will not remain so near the bottom in the scale of illiteracy.
 A Sure Sign of . Coarse Man. Prattville Progress.
 another that betrays a mans coarse ness, it is to give utterance to blood curdling paths on the street, regard less of who may be in hearing. Yet there are men who seem to be unable to carry on a conversation for five minutes without thus exposing their lack of refinement. -
 Was Unexpected.
 Tn spite of MT. Bryan's dictum, that every Democrat has the right to think TOT n1mSGlL, ne was SOIneWildJ. uiSdp- pointed that the Michigan executive committee did its own thinking and re- fused to endorse his candidacy. He is said to have asked: Who are the men who voted in the committee against the resolution of endorsement?" How to Get Permanent Roads. Gadsden Times News.
 Other plans may be tried as they have been in other counties, but the fact remains that the only permanent roads in North Alabama today have been built by means of the issue of county bonds. Thus the question stands at present and 1t looks now like a question of vote for road bonds or vote out the rural mail service + + Don't Rob the Candidates. Guntersville Democrat.
 We agree with The Prattville Pro- gress and other papers who oppose holding up" a man because he hap pens to be candidate. It Is taking | an advantage of his position to ask for loans. handouts and bonuses, at a time when 1t requires every dollar he can muster to meet necessary and unavoidable expenses. Don't rob the candidates.
 Making Converts. | Selma Journal.
 We do not agree with Captain Hob son in his ideas about greater navy making converts rapidly. It would not be surprising if he should get the majority of the people on his side heard many thoughtful men admit that his speeches and presentations l of facts had converted them to com 1 plete agreement with his conclusions.
 ShOud Be Missionaries for Good. | Birmingham Ledger. Every teacher sb ould be a mission ary for good. He should teach the pupils that good schools. good roads, | good government. are essentials. He should not teach that nothing else fear the schools might not get enough money. That is too narrow for Ala | bama. A teacher that narrow Is hard | ly fit to lead the minds of Alabama s youth.
 Old Time Taste and Architecture. l Huntsville Tribune. All strangers are impressed with tn e scenic beauty of Huntsville. particular | ly at this time of the year. No mod | our old fashioned gardens. or architect l add anything to the classic propor- tions of the old homes. A few of | these still remain as reminders to the our ancestors paid to the beautifying | of the home, and making it the center | of attraction for young, as we'll as old.
 Satisfied With the Price. | Athens Democrat. The editor of this paper has a fellow | feeling for those worthy gentlemen | who will be compelled to put up"- in order to have their names placed on den farewell to a fifty dollar note in | order to have his name placed on tn e
