DAY WILL BE QUIET
LABOR WILL CELEBRATE WITH
OUT DENOMINATION.


The United States pauses today out
of reverence to the man who tolls. for
1t is Labor Day. Montgomery Is not
wanting in reverence to labor, but the
custom of observing September in
this city has subsidized somewhat, and
there will be but little celebration here
today.
There will be no parades Of the va
rious unions, as heretofore, though hol-
idays will be granted most Of the la
boring men. Together with the respite
granted the laborers, the bank clerks
get an off day, as all banks close In
observance of the legal holiday.
Baseball will reign supreme, with a
double header at Capitol Heights and
with work-relieved men to enjoy the

made to have the plant for the manu-
facture of these machines located here.

New York several days ago and II is
expected to reach Selma tomorrow.
Upon his arrival Mr. Lispenard will
take the machine to the plantation of
Mr.. Sam Huston near Selma. put 1t
up and make the final tests in his

HOW AUTHORS WROTE.
Pope Thought Best When in Bed
Victor Hugo Wrote Standing.

Alexander Pope, who was the lit
erary pontiff of his time, thought
best when in bed. Whenever a
thought came to him he would jot it
down on a scrap of paper. His SER
want often found bedclothes and floor
covered with white bits containing
aphorisms which have now become
hackneyed quotations.
Victor Hugo wrote lies Miser-
ables" standing up, an attitude which
Hawthorne also assumed when he
wrote many of his romances.
One leg thrown over the arm OF
chair or sitting on the arm of his
secretary's chair were Napoleon's IA
vorite positions while debating to
Bourrienne, a position which he vari-
ed now and then by patting that
scribe on the head or pulling his
ears.
Sir Walter Scott could while reclin-
ing on a lounge dictate to two aman-
uenses, who frequently had to stop
writing, so funny the dictated pas
sages seemed to them.
Balzac, in monks robe, frequent
ly wrote from midnight till noon,
taking draughts of strong coffee,
when drowsiness attacked him, and
thus shortening his life by many
years, no doubt.
William Morris made one OF his
famous translations from the Greek
while riding on the steam cars. Walt
Whitman and Horace Traubel, origin
al in all things, were most origin
al in the position they took while
thinking. They were wont, so MIR.
Traubel says, to climb upon a pile

backs. In that way each found out

cavating a cellar in rocky sol.
Another objection to rocky soil Is
that water will not soak through rock
ard so runs down it. Some of this
water would be almost certain to seep
Through the cellar walls, making the
cellar damp, OR it might undermine the
foundations.
Again rock often contains springs.
If spring were opened during blast
ing it would mean either that the wa
ter would have to flow through the
cellar or be dehected-a costly opera
ton. A house built upon a rock also
vibrates during thunder storms.
Clay is perhaps more to be avoid
ed than rock, says the Circle. Clay COL
lects water and spreads under pres
sure. 1t expands in wet or frosty
weather and contracts in summer.
Frozen clay clings to brick or stone
and often causes dislocation of cellar
walls and piers.
Also it is impervious to water. Thus
an underground layer of clay will pre-
vent the proper drainage of rain wa
ter and it is extremely costly to eX-
cavate. Undesirable for building pur-
poses also are made land, sand and
silt. Made land is not always stable.
Gravel is the ideal soil for build
ing purposes 1t is porous and drains
perfectly. At the same time it is SUI
ficiently stable to support foundations.
A gravelly elevation is the ideal build
ing site.
Depressions or levels between rocks
are likely to retain water, even though
the depression is slight and the eleva'
tons distant. The ground water thus
retained stands at level. Small
gravelly elevations form islands, as 1t
were, in a subterranean lake, and up
on them houses may be built with per-
feet safety. The cellar floor will be
above the ground water level and no
rain water will drain into the cellar.
