 If scientific forecast is reliable. the earth and Mars will become better &C., quainted with each other this month than ever before. Fifteen years ago, when they were in the same relative position to each other as at present. recognition. Now this end of the line proposes to make up for that lost op-

Charropin of the St. Both of these experts are already a' Flagstaht, with other astronomical sa. wants. on watch for the first signal from the approaching planet.
 It i,t wii nehooye Pr0f prod nia Lowell on atmosphere of Mars. lie has always insisted that he saw the vapor from Mount Whitney, Cal. Although Fath- sides with Prof Lowell by declaring that he always believed that Mars was subject to fog. Scientists from the other states, however. expect to be shown, and will believe only what they see. Flagstaff has been chosen tor the view because conditions of the atmosphere t;lere are propitious. Inquiry will go much further than to determine whether or not Mars has meisL atmosphere. Having had that opinion for a long time. Father Char ropin has deduced from 1t that such an atmosphere must serve some prac, tical purpose, and he can conceive 0t no better use for 1t than to sustain life. While he has not predicted that signs of life may actually be seen at this observation, he expects that mucf of scientific value will be revealed bearing on this hypothesis.
 ] Prof, Whitney. another of he oh. servers. takes no stock in the mois- ture theory, but says the absence ot moist air Argues nothing against the claim that life exists on Mars. He doesn't see why people there, as well as here. may not thrive on hot air in l which moisture is not at all a con. stltuent. Prof Campbell of the IAck 1 Observatory holds that If there is riu moisture the question of life on the | planet becomes one for biologists rather than for astronomers.
 having disposed or these matters oi technical controversy, the savants will proceed to look for human interest features In Mars. They figure thAi the Martians will be as much con. l cerned with us as we are with then and that they will avail themselves of all the scientific appliances they have to study us.

 Concluding a further discussion of the fiippant way certain people and pa pers have of meeting the contentious of certain other people and neWspapsrs by the cry of the weakling, "whisk ey organ" railroad organ" and the like The Albany Herald says:
 '"rhe thing against which The Herald raised Its protest is' the habit into which some of the Pharisaical. over righteous brethren of the press have of hurling the opprobrious term 'whis- key organ or railroad organ at their moral and intellectual superiors every time they get cornered or squelched in a discussion of their own choosing or on their own initiative.
 "As we said before. The Herald has no grievance of its own in this connec- tion, for If the term 'whiskey organ or railroad organ either has been direct, ly applied to this paper 1t has escaped our notice or has been forgotteu. But we have seen 1t applied to other news papers in the State which, in our opln- ion, were grievously sIandered by 1t.
 This Is In rejoinder to fair discus sion of this subject by The Mouitrlt Observer. who defines the term "or- gan" as not being always onensive which is true to a certain extent,
 But the class that The Herald had IT mind in particular, we doubt not were

BUT FEW MILLS.

The Albany (Ga.) Herald aliudes. in a recent article to the scarcity of srist mills in that section. It says:
 In reading about pellasra and the probable cause of the disease--eating sesad %sd s.rs fs0p Sesn ussS %SuSs iss fact that grist miiis are few ana far between In this neck of the woods. And this means that not only the peo- Gent cen ' of the farmer. of bousheFty County have to buy their corn meal from merchants who handle the prod It also means that our people never know whether the meal they get IS fresh or whether 1t has been ground from mouldy corn.
 The Herald goes on to say that It knows of but one milf in Dougherty County. where farmer can have his corn ground into meal and thus know what he is getting. It states. further. that there has not been but one grist mill in recent years nearer than six miles of Albany. and that has stopped running. no doubt from lack of patron age.
 What The Herald says of Dougherty County is true of many sections of Alabama. Where in former days there were to be found gristmills on almost every stream, there are now none to be seen. and all because so many farm- CTS devote all their land to cotton and buy their meal from the merchants. This may be a good way to farm and live, but we have our doubts.
 Possibly all this scare about peliagra may help to bring about better condi- ditions. It Is not by any means set tied that corn products have anything to do with the disease. but 1t is not settled that they do not, and plainly the safe and prudent thing to do Is for the farmers to raise all the corn they need and have 1t ground into good meal Then there would again be heard the music of the vater.miil as 1t ground clean, dry corn into heaithful meal. and the farmers would feel themselves no longer dependent on the meal-barrels of distant seo- tions. Up in the hill country of Ala- bama. where cotton is not looked on as the sum of all earthly good. there are yet to be found mills of the old style. but they are rare in the cotton belt. There Is no need for mills when there is nothing to be ground, but the farmers can bring the mills and the sound and wholesome meal back # they will. We are old fashioned enough to insist that it would be e good thing all around

THE TEMPLE AND THE MONEY
 CHANGERS.


 At the political meeting in the First Baptist Church in Birmingham Thurs day night, when Rev. Brooks Law renee. by witticisms and exhortations. raised $1oooo for a political campaign, 6 large sign hung over the pulpit. and that part of the church called Gods altar. Of this sign The Birmingham Age-HeraId makes this brief mention: The night session was held at the First Baptist Church. but at both churches sign was stretched across the pulpit. in red and white, bearing Fsotor sess for the Amend. ment Mailed to Any Address from Now to December 1. 1909. s1.25."
 Of such. the Gospel of St. John says:
 And Jesus went up to Jerusalem
 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves. and the changers of money sitting.
 And when he had made a scourge of small cords. He drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers' money. overthrow the tables.
 And said unto them that sold doves. Take these things hence. make not my Fathers house an house of mer- chandise."
 If the truth of this Gospel ever ap- handed down. 1t applied to the ''mer- chandise" which hung over the altar of the First Baptist Church,

Conner is fact than such usually are. So far as the feelings of the people are con cerned the whole of Alabama will constitute state of anarchy" if that means dissatisfaction with Comerism. He can hardly have a worse opinion of the cities named than they will have of him before all Is done.

That Is . slngular statement which

That Is a singular statement which Is attributed to Captain Bartlett of the Peary expedition. He did not go en- tirely to the Pole, evidently because Peary wanted to be able to boast on his return that he is the only white man who ever reached the pole, so the inference Is that Bartlett was pre- vented from going to the very spot itself. That would be about what we ght expect of Peary; but that it not the point we had in view. In Captain BartIstt's statement occurs this sen tence: My soundings near the pole showed a depth of two thousand fath- oms without bottom"
 That last Is what we are unable to understand From all we have read about 1t, and from all the calculations and speculation on the subject we have bean led to understand that the entire polar region is a vast and un- broken mass of Ice and snow. with neither land nor water to be seen. If that Is the condition up there. how was 1t possible to make soundings. either two thousand fathoms or any other depth2 We are hardly to suppose that the soundings were made through the solid ice. The obvious inference to be drawn from the expression near the pole" is that he was somewhere in the immediate vicinity of 1t. and if there is water there. why has no mention been made of 1t? If there Is no water. how could soundings be taken?

A GENUINE VIPER.

It takes a long while for some of the Yankee brethren to get over their hate and rancor in connection with the great war. Especially is their venom and intolerance most conspicu ous when they refer to President Da- wis. A specimen of this rancor is given by one P. c. oImstead, of Brad ford, Conn. who writes a most bitter letter to The New Haven Register. His cause of complaint was based on cer- tain honors that had been. or would be. paid to the memory or General Lee and MT. Davis. and the following ex- tract will show something of his feel ings:
 There has beep so much whitewash the line, will be drawn. Surely if New England erected Q statute to Benedict Arnold. # would be considered an in. not do half the harm to his country | that Davis, Lee 6 Co. accomplished, and If they are the only specimens that States, the Capitol can afford 10 wait for better results from future genera | tions.
 That is a fair specimen of the malice and venom that still controls some people up North. forty-four years af- ter the conflict ended. One might req sonably suppose that hate would have abated or vanished in all those years, but there are still a few who cling to the bitter memories of the past and refuse to be pacified. We might in all fairness say to him that when the New England of the present day-or of any day, for that matter. produces a higher type of patriotism. honor and manhood that Davis and Lee. it will be time enough for any of its citizens to rail at them. However. we will let The Register itself comment on the letter. It is a typical New England paper in almost every respect. but 1t has no pa- tience with the venom of such as olm- stead. and says:
 Yes. facts are facts. But 1t is possi- tain facts to be superseded by other facts which make 1t desirable to for get the former. The patriots of re-" seditionists and rebels. and always would have been if they had lost their fight. It is very narrow-ninded to call the change of sentiment which the light of a new century brings white wash" Our public schools would be | imperfect doers of their duty if they and generous estimate of those who stood for the lost cause than was held | by those whose minds were biased by tion whether the rebel flag" is to be more sacred than Old Glory, let the South answer, as it has done and is | doing daily. In no portion of our land today is its glory greater or its de- fense surer than where for time the Stars and Bars superseded 1t.
