LARGE PART ISLANDER.

From the Mobile Register.
 If the political parsons and their or gans continue to say that an opponent of the constitutional amendment is necessarily a saloonist or friend of saloonists, a whisky man and an un- desirable citizen, they will do the op- position side much good, for the reason that it is well known in each cone munity that there are many men op- posing the constitutional amendment who are above suspicion. Even the most prejudiced therefore, must recognize that the charge brought against oppo- nents of the amendment is in large part slander

In Chiffon County.

"The people of Jemison, as well as of Chiffon county, are very much interested in the proposed automobile road from Bir- mingham to Montgomery" said John Pat ton, Jr., leading merchant of Jemison, who was in Birmingham last night.
 "'rhe road would more than likely pass through Jemlson and we feel that it would act as a strong stimulus for the building of good roads in the county. The people of Chiffon county voted down proposed bond issue for the building of roads about two years ago, but it is believed that a majority of the citizens regret the result now It is felt sure that another election on the question would be successful
 Probate Judge l.. H. Reynolds is a strong good roads enthusiast and is do- ing all in his power to educate and in- terest the people in the matter and the county will probably do something along this line in the near future.
 While l oppose the adoption of the proposed prohibition constitutional amend ment I believe that right now the propo- sition would carry in Chiffon county. Chiffon is peculiarly situated. Unlike several of the other counties where the republicans are strong in politics Chi- ton republicans seem to favor the amend ment on account of the leadership of Judge Reynolds who is very popular in the county. This, with the following that the amendment has among certain dem- ocrats. may carry the measure in the county though the contest will be close.
 ''The better class of conservative peo- pie disapprove of the manner in which the preachers are attempting to lead in this fight and 1t Is believed that their activity will react rather than win votes in the contest"

SOME GOOD OLD MAxIMs.

SOME GOOD OLD MAXIMS Tn George Herberts poem entitled "The Church Porch" some good philos- ophy may be found by any one who cares to read Here are a few observations chosen at random: "A verse may fnde him who sermon

 fnde, He breaks up house; turns out of doores
 his minde." DO not grudge to pick out treasures

A DOUBTFUL THEME

Toll and trouble. toll and trouble,
 Sad Is the song we sing; Foil and trouble, toll and trouble,
 Still the seasons bEing. Every bloom must have a thorn. Tears for shedding night and morn, Poor man wishes he never were born.
 There's so much toll and trouble. Toll and trouble, toll and trouble,
 June time or December Toll and trouble, toll and trouble.
 Bliss we don't remember. Summer time 1t gets too hot, Winter freezes, like as not, Nothing ever seems to hit the spot,
 There's so much toll and trouble. Toll and trouble, toll and trouble,
 Blue or cloudy skies; Toll and trouble, toll and trouble
 And world of sighs Wonder If twill ever end, As adown life's road we wend? Pray, brothers, pray for the luck to mend,
 There's so much toll and troublel

CAPRI.

I've never been to Capri
 And maybe ne'er will go, But sometimes when I'm lost in dreams It seems to lure me so. The bluest sky Is up above,
 The bluest wave below And silver sails upon the sea
 Are glancing to and fro. The poets sing of Capri
 Full many a fervid song, And touch d harp of golden strings, The while they Tilt along. They tell of dark-eyed maidens there The fisher-folk among, Who'll let you know they love you so And never think 1t wrong. I've often read of Capri
 In novels people write, About the glory of the dawn,
 The sweetness of the night; About the languor of the days,
 Heart and soft delight: I'm sure Capri Is just the place
 To please a lazy wight!

ENVOYS OF SEVEN NATIONS GATHER
 AT CELEBRATION
tCoNr1NUED FROM PAGE I.


 cluding the notable dedication of Pali- sades park, the new insterstate preserve along the lower Hudson, the dedicati ton of an imposing monument to Henry Hud- son. in the upper part of New York city, and the afternoon reception to the naval visitors on Governors Island, went off without a hitch, marking the day as an important and significant one in the weeks festivities.
 The exercises at Palisades park cele- brated the saving of the picturesque cliffs near the city from the vandalism of the stone cutter and the turning over to the people of New York and New Jersey of strip of beautiful park, stretching for IA miles up the west bank of the river. Speeches by two governors proved a drawing card, which attracted many thousands of New Workers and Jerseymen to the spot.
 Gov. Hughes found the occasion fit one for urging upon the people of the two states the conservation of their riv- CTS and forests.
 q hope that this Is only the begin ning," he said, "of efforts which may Jointly be made by these two common wealths to safeguard the highlands and waters in which they are both deeply interested. The entire watershed of the Hudson should be conserved, to become the peoples countryside for common re- creation"
 Most Important Preserve.
 Gov Fort. speaking for New Jersey, de- clared that the 300 acres of this Palisade mark are destined to become the most important public preserve in the United States.
 "rhe work here Is only begun" he said "The unsurpassed beauty of this mark must be made easily accessible and A. txx.x~ Drko It taAD ical spots along it's 14-mile stretch must be marked by suitable inscriptions and monuments.'
 The cornerstone of the monument to Henry Hudson, on Spuyten Duyvfl hill, was laid later in the day in a drizzling rain The storm kept down the attend ance. but did not bother Gov. Hughes, who had come over rom Pahsades park in time to deliver an eulogy on the dis coverer of the Hudson The governor spoke standing bareheaded in the open, and declining all offers of umbrellas.
 The monument will be a towering marble shaft crowned with statue of Hudson. It's location is close to the spot where legend places the first landing of the discoverer on his trip up the river.T The memorial will Se made more impressive by stone ap- proach and bridge over Spuyten Duyvil creek.
 Preparations for the great historical parade, which will start early tomor- row afternoon, went on today unhin- dered by the raid.

REVERY.

Golden dreams of yesterday, Skies of blue and skies of gray; Smiles that shone with heavens gleam, Tears no bliss will e'er redeem; Faces loved, but gone before, Voices heard, yet heard no more All the land of Used-to-Be Brought back to us by Revery. Scent of blooms that withered lie, Scenes we scanned with youthful eye, Faded visions of the past Joys we hoped would always last; Sweet old songs we'd often sing, Vows when life was in its spring All the land of Used-to-Be Brought back to us by Revery.

HORATIUS FLACCUS.

High-brows are deeply interested in the announcement by Pro. Pasqui. cabled from Rome, that he has found the supposed site of that celebrated Sabine farm be- longing to Horatius Flaccus. While we who had to "dig out" our knowledge of Horace during school days no doubt missed most of his finer points, there s no denying the fact that Horatius Flac- GUS was a scholar and a gentleman. A poet of parts, a satirist without venom and a genial letter writer, his little two- acre farm is more widely known than a great many battle-fields, and 'tis better so. The site will be excavated soon, when it is to be hoped that some valu- able relics of Horace will be found.

 "I think the Fuller law, which is being drastically enforced, will kill the amend ment with many consistent prohibition ists who, while they drink in moderation, were desirous of putting the saloon out of business. This is fully accomplished, and no fair-mfnded man will say that much good followed. I am for temper apce-moderation.

 A poet in the Chicago Tribune sings of motoring in a happy vein. Hark to his muse.

And smile In her cute little way. He'd, say: Shall we go, dear, and take in the show, dear?" And she'd answer: No, dear, and say:
 Chorus Give me a spin in your motor, Bill! My goodness gracious. I can't keep still Buzz me along on the boulevard! Let 'er go, Willie, boy, good and hardi Throw 1t wide open-I'll hold on tight l don't care a fudge if my hairs a fright There's nothing that gives me such keen delight As spin in your motor, Bnl!
