Against Pretenses.

Away with all those vain pretenses
Of making ourselves happy within our
selves. Of feasting on our own
thoughts, of being satisfied with the
consciousness of well doing, and Of de-
spising all assistance and all supplies
from external objects. This is the
voice of pride. not of nature Hume.

 We heard some marvellous things by those whom we engaged in conver- sation and who engaged us in con- versation. After Glass got comfortably fixed on his shoulder blades with his feet up in the air against post, he would talk to everything and every body. By reason of which he acquired same marvellous information And mis- information. Spang has truly DOT trayed one of these scenes of infor- nation gathering on a country store Glass struck up a hearty speaking ac- uuaintance with a thin, malarial gen. tleman in a homespun shirt, who told him of his remarkable feat of walk ing fifty-five miles In few hours. E On that particularly hot morning we had with difficulty covered thirteen miles. We knew that according to the army standards. fifteen miles was a dav's march. Sad experience had taught us that twenty-five or twenty seven miles a day was a great big task for any grown man. And hot and al- most exhausted by the pull over the weary roads, a groan of rese1tment went up when we were told that ff- ty-five miles was an easy walk, for a good man when he had the nerve That

 And, of course, we came through

 those lands by the acre have increased
 vastly in recent years. In other years.
 when the lumbermen has finished their
 cutting and all the yellow pine timber
 was gone. one could buy them for al-
 most any price. But hundreds of white farmers have come in and proved by their own labor that these cut-over lands. once so contemptuously regarded, can, with care and intelligence be made fertile and productive. We passed scores of such farms. and many or them were as fresh, as weli-kept ana as inviting as any in the State.
 The question of utilizing these miles of unoccupied lands--of bringing in farmers who will take up the stunps and who will grow corn and cotton where wiregrass now grows. Is the great economical problem before the people of the pine belt, and he who has a plan to bring such men will be as sured in advance of cooperation and encouragement.
 It was our pleasure to note that John wallaces bird law was having It's effect. In other years, had a knowl- edge and familiarity with the Ala bama woods, but never before saw so

Atmore an Example of Rapid Growth. THE WAYFARERS
 AT A BANQUET One Special Act of The
 Courtesy. n Abides .. . Peaceful Memory in the Minds of All the walkers of the Party-The Long Walks
 Through "Cut overs

At the Diocesan Council, held a few days ago in Birmingham, the dele gates, in general. were astonished to learn that South Alabama was growing much more rapidly than North Ala bama The North Alabama delegates were incredulous; to their way of thinking. this could not possibly be true.
 But the census figures were there the comparative figures of the census of 1890 and the census of 1900, showed indisputably that South Alabama's per- centege of growth was much larger than that of North Alabama. These figures were confirmed by the census of estimates made by the National Government of Alabama cities in 1905. These figures, for instance, showed that Montgomery, Mobile and Selma had developed more rapidly than Bir- mingham--and this in the face of all the large talk from the mineral dis trict.
 This fact throws a glint of light on one of results of our observation tours afoot through Alabama. A primary purpose of this arduous. yet delightful, Journey was to study the country, the people aand their ways of living. Not for me was 1t a new study. but for the other members of the walking party 1t was.
 So we can take Atmore and present 1t as an object lesson of the growth of South Alabama towns and cities. Att more belongs in a class of such cities south of Montgomery as Dothan, En- terprise. Andalusia and Florala. In the beginning the milling industry was the one big thing for that section. But following the mill men there came the small, but industrious farmer. who was ever 8 prosperity bringer. So when the timber industry had moved on from Atmore the men who had made their pile in 1t set about to establish a more permanent form of prosperity. They encouraged immigration--they did all they could to get new men to come in and establish farms on the "cut over 1ands," of which there are so many thousand acres throughout south Alabama.
 Atrnore an Example.
 Atmore a few years ago was only a little railroad station where a lumber mill had once been. Now it is a place Of hustle and enterprise. with block after block of modern business stores. handsome homes and one of the finest hotels in the State.
 It did not take us long to discover that the average business man of At more was actuated by a finer public spirit than you would find in the mar in business in the city. There is more of the town pride and less of the pock-

 An Unwritten Story.
 There is one unwritten Incident of this trip. in which Glass and I figured that we are keeping for the present. If Is a railroad story, In which rail- road men figure and which railroad men would enjoy. And as all the rail- road men were so hearty and kind to us on the way. they are entitled to the story. But there are certain reasons or state and of policy that restrain us until some future day. It Is deli- cate matter. Still, if the railroad boys get impatient about 1t they can ask Teddy Bear and 'Desperado," who know the story quite as well as we do, 6elng pernapS tn6 iiost hcyOh oAAu f.. teresting incident of the trip we will undoubtedly put 1t into print one or these days.
 We were were indebted to the sym pathy of Alderman S. H. Saul for a kindly effort to relieve the general soreness of the party, and of which we have not yet made acknowledge ment. Iearing of the tired and strain ed muscles the fevered and bifstered feet, he shipped us to Brewton from his horse establishment two bottles of iiniment, but when we looked at the label For Man and Beast" we were nervous about using it on our tender pedal extremeties. But 1t speaks well for his charity that he sent all the way to Brewton to relieve the general distress of the walking party.
 The walking trip with all its pleas ures and with it's hardships has pass ed into the realm of things that were . But with us there yet remains and there will continue to remain the pleasing and satisfying memories Of an outing which was as delightful as 1t was novel. And sol we leave 1t with that, mingled sense of pleasure and melancholy that witnesses the van ishing of an earthly joy.
 Were we pleased with the trip? Why we are already planning the same sort of an outing for next year.

Ilnterest in Meeting.

Politicians, throughout the country are taking considerabIe interest in the meeting of the Dallas County Dem- ocratic Executive Committee, which will be held here next Saturday, and itiis expected that every member of the committee will be present.
 The meeting will be for the purpose of acting upon the question of the nomination of candidates for member of the Court of County Revenues by districts or by the county as whole.
 Since the call for this meeting was issued. about three weeks ago, the question has been discussed at length in every part of tho county, and the voters appear to be equally divided There is also considerable speculation as to what the outcome of the ques- tion will be at the committee meeting, and 1t is thought that no matter which way the subject Is decided that the decision will be close one.
 The campaign for the county officers in Dallas, and which will be decided in primaries to be held next spring, grows more vigorous with the passing Of each day, It is thought that the county committee will name an early date for the holding of the primaries. and that they will be held during next March.

Selma, May 22.--(speciaL)-For the last time a district Sunday School con vention will be held in Dallas county on Sunday when the Northern Dis trict of the Dallas County Sunday School Convention will convene In Pfantersville Sunday morning.
 This-s will be according to the. rui- fngs of the president of the Alabama State Sunday School Association and the Dallas county association will be one sf the first counties in the State to accept the ruling.
 During the last convention of the State Sunday School Association the president stated to the meeting that the holjing of district conventions on Sunday interferred with both Sunday School work and church work; that If a day could not be spared during the week for the district meetings 1t would probably be best for such meetings not to be held.
 las county are In sympathy with this idea and 1t has been adopted The last Sunday convention which will be held at P1antersvilIe Sunday will be largely attended.
 The annual session of the Dallas County Sunday School Convention will convene in the Alabama Street Pres pyterian church here about the mid- de of July. The indications are that the convention will be the largest at tended in the history of the organiza- ton and number of important prop ositfons which will prove beneficial to the Sunday School workers will be brought up during the convention.
 During the first part of June there Will be two district conventions. The southern District will hold its meet Ing at Pleasant Hill on June and this meeting will be largely attended by the Sunday School workers in the southern. part os the county.
