IN THE DRAG NET

At the plant of the Alabama Marble
company near Sylacauga a few days ago
I saw a large crushing mill grinding re-
fuse scraps of white marble into small
particles and powder. The powder was
as fine as -four. The larger screenings
were in three sizes, ranging from half an
inch to about an eighth of an inch. An
official of the company explained to me
that the small nut product was used in
the manufacture of combination thing 1t
Is mixed with cement and given a face
polish. This makes a very handsome and
durable floor surface
And the dust?' I questioned.
why. that may be business secret"
smiled the official mysteriously, "but as
you are a newspaper man and I am sure
will keep the secret, I don't mind tell
ing you. That marble dust is used in the
manufacture of soda water. 1 am not
sure but the sugar and -four trusts may
also figure in the market"
Many people in Alabama will regret the
retirement of w. B. Oliver of Tuscaloosa
from the race for Congress in the Sixth
district. 4
The campaign between Captain Hobson,
w. B. Oliver and W. C. Davis promised
some of the exciting features OF old
time political contests. The main feature
was to have been a three-cornered debate
between the three candidates. The chal-
lenge was issued by Mr.. Davis of Jasper
and was accepted by Captain Hobson.
Friends of Mr.. Oliver were planning for
his participation in the fun, and Captain
Hobson had more than once expressed his
willingness.
All three men are good speakers and
the campaign would have been of I'M
usual interest The joint ebate will
probably be pulled off by Captain Hobson
and Mr.. Davis, but Mr.. oliver would have
added interest to it. Mr.. Oliver is not
only popular in the Sixth district but
has many friends in all parts of the state
who were watching the rising tide of po-
ltical events in the Sixth with keen In
terest.
The Alabama High Grade Brick COM
pany at Sylacauga, which, by the way, is
one of the biggest concerns of the kind
in the state. is doing some fancy agri-
cultural work that is attracting the at
tention of the entire community.
The company has 100 acres of fine clay
land adjoining the plant.
| The lying of all this land in idleness
waiting the inroads of the clay shovel
gave General Manager Van Dusen pain
| in the financial nodule of the brain, and
he cast about for some method of util-
| izing the lost energy.
He sowed the 100 acres to oats. The
| result this year is marvellous The crop
is nearing the harvest state now and the
yield will be far above the average for
the state. Some estimates go over 60
bushels to the acre. It will certainly not
be under 80. w. II.

JURES OLD NAN.

About 1888 o'clock last night the
Savoy hote, bus. driven by Ed Slath-
ers, while on its way from the depot
to the hotel, knocked down and ran
over an old man by the name Of GuyIne
and. according to the stories told by
Police Officer Eiklor and Harry Hutch
inson. who witnessed the affair. the
carriage was not stopped, although the
officer called to the driver. Guyme,
who is u well-known Frenchnan, is
over So years of age, and was starting
across the street near the corner Of
Higgins avenue and Pine street, when
the bus came along at a fast rate. Ac-
cording to Hutchinson, whose story is
corroborated by Officer Eiklor, the
wagon pole struck Guyme and knocked
him to the ground, the wheels passing
over his PROSTATE body. The old man
staggered to his feet and tottered to
the corner, where the eyewitnesses
spoke to him. At that place he fell
unconscious. While Hutchinson was
attempting to call Il doctor, the man
was taken to the Smith drug store
Two physicians arrived on the scene
but could not send the man to the hos
pital without authority. City Physician
Pease and DR.. ]. J. Flynn soon arrived
and the former gave an order to take
the man to st. Patrick's hospital. where
his injuries were examined by Dr.
Flynn. Although he was unconscious,
his injuries are said not to have proved
serious. However, he is badly bruised
and his condition may become worse.
The eyewitnesses to the accident de-
clare that the driver of the carriage
gave no warning to the old nan.

The Sayings of Mrs. Solomon
BY MAUD MARIE

Consider the Modern Diogenes, oh, my daughterl For he goeth about, crying, Where shall I find an honest woman! Lo! they are all nature fakers And there is not one among them that doth not lie about her age and powder her nose, neither pull in her corsets nor wear a shoe too small for her. Nay, there is not one that neither fiattereth, nor getteth mixed in her arguments, nor scenteth her handkerchiefs, nor coloreth her conversation, nor paddeth her thoughts, nor masketh her feelings. Behold, every woman is White Lien'
 Yet say unto thee, 10 if he should see an honest woman, then would he turn and flee. Yea, he would make quick steps for the utter most parts of the drawing-room that she might not descend upon him.
 For what man preferreth damsel with q straight figure and straight hair and a straightforward manner unto bundle of Gurls and curves that argueth in circles and walketh with twist and acteth in round about way! Behold, every man praseth the square maiden, but he chaseth the 'rococo. 7"
 Verify verily, it is natural for woman to be artificial, but it is foolish for her to be natural. For what man can endure the hon est truth from any woman!
 Lo! to know that damsel is clever fright eneth him-and to know that she is a fool boreth him.
 To know that she is proper maketh him lose his interest-and to know that she isn t mak- eth him lose his respect.
 To know that she desireth to be kissed maketh him run way-and to know that she doth not desire to De kissed maketh him run the other way
 Verify, verily, when a man knoweth all abont woman then doth he cease to want to know her. Lo! an honest woman cannot get past man, neither over him nor beyond him; but nature faker can get all the way 'rc'md him. Selah!

THE STRAW HAT

Addressing the Providence Journal, man signing himself 'The Last Straw writes. un- der date of September IL, as follows:
 'l understand that tomorrow is the day
 on which the bell rings to call in all straw
 hats. If that is so, 1 hereby respectfully
 dissent and protest Others may do as they
 please, but l shall wear my good old straw
 hat as long as l wish. Suppose tomorrow
 should be as hot and muggy as today;
 would sensible men trot out Derby hats be-
 cause some unknown dictator of fashions
 directed them to do so! My straw hat is
 just beginning to seem like an old friend. |
 like it better than the best felt hat that ever
 was made It is cool, comfortable. and
 light Who wants to wear heavy felt at
 this time of the year? l propose the or
 ganization of the Straw Hat brigade, to be
 joined by every one who dissents from the
 foolish dictum of the so-called bell '
 Our observation is that few people paid any adjWsters of the straw hat season who fixed September l5 as the arbitrary finish of the same, and we are more than half way glad of it A straw hat is, in the philosophy of sensible men, thing designed primarily for comfort and health rather than for style or beauty Lev bipeds of male persuasion wear their straw hats because such hats are cool and grati- flying to the senses fat-headed bipeds- some thing quite different from the level-headed spe- cles-wear them in imitation of certain ques- tionaby exalted members of their tribe only. The man with something worth while in his head keeps his straw hat on the outside of it just SO long as he chooses; tle man with nothing worth while in his head wears his straw hat according to rule, and dofs and dons it at exact stated in tervals, indicated by the ring of bell or some thing of that sort
 We fully understand and thoroughly appre- ciate the feelings of this Providence man, and we applaud his bold defiance of the hatheads Men are not the poor slaves to fashion that women are-thank heaven for that They yield to it's decrees to an extent of course but not to an extent that involves the sacrifice of all bodily comforts and pleasures. Those men who grow to love their straw hats as the summer runs along do not hesitate to stick to them, if they choose, even unto the days of the sere and yellow leaf Some men have been known, here and there, to lay aside these cher shed friends from one good old summer time to the next good old summer time, and eke, though rarely, perhaps, to the next after that
 So mote it be! We rejoice that independent souls bob up here and wonder to claim their straw hat rights, and, claiming, dare maintain them! 'Reformers" may we'll interest them selves along other lines than regulating the be lign activities of the straw hat. The straw hat comes as early in the springtime as it chooses, and it stays put until it gets ready to go into winter quarters voluntarily.
