HARRIMAN'S VISIT TO SAN
 ANTONIO IS RECALLED

ruin You don't seem to have an idea around here what a bad man I am." Here he pointed at some newspaper men in the car. among them the writer or tnis. Aou had better get those fellows over tnere to keen quiet about you coming here. My how you people are careless wltn your good names" All this was said with very serious mien There was roar or laush- ter and then one of the newspaper men thought it wise to ask some question,
 MT. Hartman" he asked, T under sta md that you contemplate accompany Ing Teddy Roosevelt to Africa on tnat big game hunt Is that true? It LOOKS a little unlikely to me but as practicai men" He got no further Here was cool cheek such as the railroad king hao never before encountered But the infer ence of the question had not been lost. with A broad smile MT. Hartman turned to the scribe. Well" he said, ito be per fectly frank with you, I'd like to have a. look at that country I am not fond enough of killing to undertake pig game hunt. But in ease I should go would like to reserve the privilege of choosing my own company Evidently Hartman and Roosevelt did not hitch yet.
 During his stay here MT. Harriman showed keen appreciation of the little things in life For hours he would play with little children or watch the red birds which from the first engaged his attention a great deal Red birds and railroads are now plotted from his mind. All who met him while here regret that this should be so.

Trade and under the auspices of the Alabama Good Roads association will be of exceptional interest and should be largely attended. The economic value of good roads is now understood and appreciated by all, while the rap idly growing demand for better high ways in the south shows practical re- suits of the campaign of education started few years ago.
 The Birmingham convention, com ing as it does while the state fair is at the height of it's attractiveness, will have representatives from nearly every county in the state And if the citizens of the district will let their friends in different sections of Ala bama know what a rousing affair this gathering is to be. we will have about the biggest crowd ever seen in Bir- mingham. Excellent programmes are being arranged and among the notable features will be speeches by several men of national fame.

School Children and President.

Birmingham should take aoVantage of a suggestion made by Chicagos en- tertainment of President Taft, said a member of the Chamber of Commerce. ''One of the principal features of Chi tcago's parade was 32 miles of school chil- dren, lined up along the streets and boulevards waving flags as the President went by Of course, we could hardly get 32 miles of school children in Birmins- ham but with the pupils from all the schools a fine showing could be made. It would be necessary for them to miss put a short time from their studies and as matter of fact believe that such asden- onstraton Is an important item in any child's education.
 'It is not every day that the children have an opportunity to see President or the United States and it makes vivid impression upon them, one which cannot but make them more patriotic and give them a more definite understanding of the duties every citizen owes to the flag and to the official representative of the na- tion I think the school children could be made a delightful feature of the Pres ident's visit in November"

The Best College Year

All the colleges in Alabama report large enrollments. The University is having a full matriculation and the Tech" at Auburn is making very high record. From present indica- tons the latter will go far above the 700 mark It's strong faculty, its fine buildings and its admirable equipment make it one of the greatest institu- ytions in the United States. As a gen. eral technological school it is un- equalled in the south.
 At Auburn a young man can be trained, and we'll trained, for almost any calling. If he is to be 2 farmer Le will be advanced in the study of agricultural chemistry and all the agri- cultural economies If he is to be an engineer, civil, mining, mechanical or electrical, he will have excellent advantages at Auburn. The institute has been broadening the scope of it's wor1 from yclr to year and its friends

HILLIkEN TO THE REAR.

From the Baltimore sun.
 Billiken. with his general lack of sar- torial quitting to withstand the arctic and frozen-face climates so common to explorers, has a new rival in the field.
 It isn't different way of spelling the same thing or coloring his face blue in stated of red, but it Is a little fir-ciad mite. called by the manufacturer the Lucky Eskimo Baby.
 It is the first of the flood of novelties to reach the street since the dual announce ment that the north pole has been dis covered
 Nothing is explained as to what is lucky about the Lucky Eskimo Baby, or why. It is just a grinning-faced little Tookish- hook, fur-clad; solemn brown face peer ing out of the hood, as though to view the controversy; a pasteboard target on the front proclaiming it's title, and string looped from its neck by which 1t can be hooked to the waistcoat button or lapel.
 You can call it Cook or Peary to suit your views. It's the latest novelty since Lincoln pennies

Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria

The Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary is now 79 years old. His long life has been a series of do- mestic sorrows and internal troubles. His only son committed suicide, and his successor is to be a nephew. The dual throne of the Hapsburgs has not been a bed of roses to Francis Joseph, but he is still in good health, and lie may live a decade longer. He is popular and always has been, and his empire Is, perhaps, stronger today than 1t has been in many year. Ter ritory lost to the new Germany and to Italy has, in part at least, been made good in Turkey, and the dual country is preparing to become naval power. The coast line on the Adriatic is not extensive, but that coast line is large enough to enable the govern ment to cherish naval ambitions
 The Bmperor-King Is in good health, and he bids fair to live decade, per- haps longer. The people are loyal to their aged ruler and there are few indeed of them who can recall the time when Francis Joseph began to rule the country. It was in 184s.

A HOT TIME IN ALABAMA.

From the Nashville Journal and Tribune.
 Alabama Is all stirred up over the proposition to place in the constitution of the state a clause prohibiting the man ufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors in the state. The state already has a law to that effect, but the majority of the legislature at a recent session voted to make 1t a part of the constitution, and now the people are called upon to ratify or reject what Is proposed as an amendment to the constitution. A spe- cal election is to be held to test the sense of the majority on this question.
 It is noted that public meetings are being held in various counties, some in the interest of the proposed amendment to the constitution, others against 1t, and the campaign promises to become one of no little bitterness. Governor Conner and many other men of influence favor the ratification of the amendment while many others of prominence and influence are against it. It is claimed, and with apparent basis of truth, that there are many who favored the prohi- bition of the liquor traffic in the state by statute, who are not in favor of placing a prohibition clause in the con- stitution of the state. Such as these say that prohibition is an experiment. and that the purpose of those who favor the adoption of the amendment is to tie the hands of the majority. if at any time the majority should want to repeal the existing statute.
 It seems to us that the friends of prohibition in Alabama have taken con- siderable risk in this new venture. They not only invite and incur the opposi- ton of those who favor the traffic, that comes as a matter of course but there are a large number of men in all states who believe constitution should be an instrument Of more general nature, its limitations fixed within narrow bounds leaving the people to enact such laws from time to time as they be- lieve demanded by the public. That class of men are for prohibition by statute but are not for 1t as part of the constitution. If they vote against the amendment and it should be rejected, the liquor men will count the class just referred to as being on their side and as their friends. This Is why we say tho prohibitionists are taking risk.

The Iron Market.

The pig iron market Is active and the price has a strong upward tendency Quo tations are s14 to s15-the latter figure being for next years delivery. Immediate delivery iron is bringing s14 to s14.5o. Mat thew Addy & Co.'S Cincinaati report re- ceived here yesterday says:
 Continued heavy buying and a demand that seems to have no limit make up the record of the week. It is evident that consumption Is growing with great rapdity4n fact our own observation leads us to believe that more iron is being melted today than is realized by even most of the very sanguine men in the trade Production at a tremendous rate was the first effect of the revival in busi- ness and for season it seemed as if so much iron was being made that the thing was going to be altogether oyerdone. But as time progressed these fears proved to be groundless and it will not be surpris- ing, if nothing occurs to check matters. to find that consumption has forged ahead so that presently iron will be in ehort supply A few months ago any intima- ton of such a state of affairs in the near future would have appeared utterly ridicu- lous, but now 1t seems quite probable.
 There is the greatest optimism among iron masters, though no one wants to see a runaway market, which would do much more damage than good. But that the whole market Is tending towards higher prices and wider demand is evil dent.
 "In northern iron the price for the early part of next year Is firmly established at s16.5O and southern Ohio furnace and Bir- mingham No ? Is between N4 and S15. depending on the views of the seller"

Alabama's Forest Area

A bulletin of the federal depart ment of agriculture says that out of 5 32.s1S,560 acres in this state 20,000,' 900 are covered by forests. Once the forest area of the state was 29,54o,- 900 acres. Our wooded area has been reduced to 20,000.000 acres. which. in round proportions. is two-thirds ol the state.
 But it Is plain that We have not 10000, 900 acres covered with yalu- able virgin forests. We have, per haps, 5000, ,000 acres bearing mature uncut lumber. Then, perhaps, we have as many more acres partly cut or burned over which may, in time, present a merchantable crop of tim Der, leaving, perhaps, 100000 acres On which there is not sufficient growth to yield another crop of timber.
 The best information seems to be to the effect that there are 16,000,000 acres in this state that either are tim bered or that may, with reasonable care, become timbered. Excellent care of these acres would give us, in many years to come, as much wood as we could use or sell. But the trou- ble is no care Is taken of our tim Der crop. No one endeavors to pre- serve the young trees, and the result will be a timber famine within the lie time of many now living.
 These figures are only approximate But they are sufficiently accurate to convey an idea of the situation in this state. Two-thirds of the state is un cultivated, and if every young tree on that two-thirds were cared for the lumber supply of this state would last to the end of this century, and it would, as the years go on, become very valuable. New growth would have to replace the cutting in order to retain that long in the state an adequate supply of timber.

KITTEN WEARs JEWELS.

From the New York Times.
 London.-A little pink Persian kitten sat for its photograph Thursday in the studio of a we'll known animal photog- rapher wearing a gold crown on its head and a gold order around its neck. The pink Persian came from Windsor Castle and now belongs to Mrs. Anita Comfort Brooks, president of the Gotham club of New York, who is on visit to London. This crowned kitten enjoys perfumed bath every morning and one of sts favcv- ite pastimes Is to paw tho keys of . grand piano.
 1T was the first cat lover to think of giving a cat diamond earrings" said Mrs. Brooks Bangles and necklaces had be- come so very hackneyed. and I wanted my cat to be unlike any ono else'A so had the ears pierced and bought my cat a pair of flne diamond earrings"
 Mrs. Brooks always names her cats after celebrities President Roosevelt was the one who rejoiced in 5eweled ears. Governor Hughes, another pet wears pink corsets pink shoes and pink stockings. and Admiral was a fine figure in g navy blue coat, striped trousers and an ad- miraPs hat

IN HOIEL LOBBlES
A Record Breaker.

Next Thursday the Empire building will be ready for tenants, and when we raise the Stars and Stripes and the Elm pire pennant over the building world s record will have been broken" said Rob ert Jemison, Jr, yesterday afternoon Every prospective tenant has been no- tied that he could move in next Ihhrs- day. for every room, every corridor every wall. every piece of woodwork will be completed. the building will be clean and everything in. perfect running order. Never before has such a thing happened in Birmingham, and all of this is In spite of the fact that we were seriously delayed in the foundation work.
 We are just seven days sooner than we promised prospective tenants, and we demonstrated what could really be done in office construction. It was freely pre- dicted that we would never get the build- ing ready in time. Knockers were busy all the time.
 Not only have we finished on time put we have decidedly the handsomest, most modern and up-to-date office building Tn the south Exterior and interior are hn- ished perfectly, there being liberal dis play of beautiful Skyros marble, Italian marble, mahogany, terra cotta ana other beautiful building materials. The oullo- ing has the only flight of inclosed hre- proof stairs from roof to basement In the south: there will be white elevator boys and service in keeping with the building in every way, not to mention hot and cold water all the time
 ''The Empire is nearly filled With eeh- ants People who have watched the build ing recently have been anxious to secure office space and we are signing leases rapidly. We hope to open with every or 6ca rentad

WHAT TO CALL HIM.
v rom the New York Times.

From the New York Times
 Long as Commander Robert E. Peary has been in tbe public eye as persistent and successful explorer there still seems to be uncertainty on the part of many people as to the proper pronunciation of his name.
 Of course, the spelling decides nothing = 1t never does with English pames and not always with those of other nations. The commander himself is the very highest of all authorities, and. according to him, the first four letter in his name have the sound which the same four letters do at the end of the word appear" and not that which they have when they stand alone and mean . fruit.
 It is . bit shorter than 'Peer-y'' would be, but it isn't "Peary." "Pairy,' or Perry"
