that colds are not dangerous. Not only pneu.

MARKED ACTIVITY
IS SELF-EVIDENT

Columbus. Ca. November 9.-(Spe-
cial.) THE Georgia and Alabama In
dustrial Index will say tomorrow in its
regular weekly issue:
with all records for pig iron pro-
duction in the state of Alabama broken
by the October output, it can be real
lied that not only have normal condi-
lions returned in mining circles but the
entrance into another period of marked
activity and prosperity, perhaps greater
than ever before experienced, Is self
evident. Along with the creation of
new highwate mark in pig iron pro-
ductfon comes the announcement that
the wages of coal miners are to be in
creased, and this Is a very healthy
sign. An interesting incident in con-
nection with what might be termed the
regeneration of the great Alabama
mineral district is the plan to build
a model industrial city for employees

road company, a few miles out from

were formed at Birmingham, Ala, to
manufacture moving picture films, one
with 100000 and the other with $4,000
capital stock Many deals in city real
estate and farm lands are reported the
consideration being as high as $75 an
acre in the sale of some particularly
choice and well located plantations.

TRAINING CIRCUS MEN
FOR THEIR PERFORMANCES

When a circus leaves winter quarters
and starts the season on the road there
is a vast amount of rehearsing to do and
arranging before the many features,
specialties and spectacles are woven into
effective ensembles. Although the per-
formers and trainers have been busy dur
ing the winter in working up new acts, it
is necessary to so arrange all these on
the programme SO that each act and num-
Der will get all the prominence possible
and yet avoid an anti-climax 1t is not
an infrequent experience OF circus people
to find that good stunt does not get
a single hand"
The circus manager, II he be successful,
Is not only q keen student of human ma
ture, but he<must be artist and com
mander as well. And 1t Is at rehearsal
that all his qualities most effectively
displayed. There are more than 1000 per-
sons employed with the Barnum and Bal
ley Greatest Show on Earth, over a third
of these being performers and the greater
portion of them making their first appear
ences in America. The performers are
curious lot, being marked by the strong
est feeling of caste. Americans and Eng
lish are in the minority among them, un-
less 1t be among the riders, since the laws
OF the United States and England forbid
the use of children under certain age,
thus dspriving the artists of the appren-
ticeship system in vogue on the continent,
for circus performers are made almost
from the cradle.
So it is that In Europe children are
trained for the life almost as soon as
they can walk and while very young APP
pear as professionals. The Germans excel
in feats of strength, the French In aerial
performances, the Spaniards In hish-wire
stunts and the Americans and English in
equestrianism. Most of the great aero
battle acts come from Germany, where the
activity of the turn-vereins accounts for
much of this excellence in tumbling.
While fitting from town to town during
its annual hikes rehearsals with the cir
Gus are of almost daily occurrence upon
the part of the individual artists and
groups. Harry Mooney, who trained the
musical elephants. huge pachyderms, who
actually play in time and tune upon big,
brass horns, was from November until
i March at work upon the act before he
felt that the brutes were ready for pub
lie appearance. and scarcely a day goes
by but what he is privately working
with them outside of their performances
in the big top" Court Tietze worked
with 20 different horses before he found
in Jupiter, the balloon horse, the qualities
necessary to mould the marvellous act
given by this intelligent stallion, who
ascends to the top of the tent and de-
sends amid the discharge of bombs and
shower of fireworks without so much as
ruffling a hair. Almost any morning
after parade is over many of the per-
formers take possession Of the rings to
get the kinks out of their systems and
most Of them. the really successful ones,
are continually trying to solve some
thing new to add to their bag of tricks.
Barnum and Bailey will give two per-
formances In Birmingham Friday

Governor Conner was elected on a
local option platform. According to his
statement, he was led by a carpet
Dagger, like a bull with a ring in his
nose, in a triumphant procession, by
progression, against his will: first to
statewide prohibition; next to the
amendment. If ambition did not lead.
then he has come as "a sober aploguer,"
whose fury has been cooled But it Is
too late to save the amendment
II Conner, Lawrence and Weakley
could have had their way no one ex-
cept church members in good standing
would be allowed November 30 to vote
on the amendment. They are caught in
their own springs, and the amendment
is doomed to defeatl
Governor Conner was elected by many
men voting for him who were opposed
to rohibition-Governor Cunning 9Th am
made campaign on strict prohibition.
The majority of the voters preferred
TO regulate the railroads to regulating
mems appetltes. And yet when the
jury commissioners were selected only
two qualifications were considered.
First prohibitionist; second a Conner
man. There will be an even-up No
vember 30
Many honest prohibitionists are sup
porting the amendment-very many
sincere prob ibitionists are opposing It,
Well may they say to the amenders,
Give us men who live what they
teach, and we will have more faith in
what they teach" And many an old
bottle drinker will not then wear a
white ribbon! No matter. the amend
ment is defeated anyway!

sink" and the governor jumped over
board. but the old balloon of the
amenders is falling, falling!
