poet was considered by some genius' approaching whom the ordinary individ- ual must walk softly and speak in hushed tones: by others, he was believed to be mildly insane and passed by with meaning tap on the forehead. Today the real poet is very apt to do his best work as a "side line"-malxing his daily bread by other means, such as the school teaching Markham, the broGer, E. c. steo- man, and other versifers in commercial activity.

Cotton Goods Should Be Advanced

Not few of the mills in the Caro- linas are refusing to close down at the summons of the American Textile association. They have orders on hand and probably their warehouses are well filled with new crop cotton.
 One thing is plain-the remedy at the mills must be found in better prices for goods, not in lower prices for raw cotton. When the crop is con- fessedly two million bales short the price will certainly remain at or above IA cents. No spinner need expect to buy this seasons cotton at lower prices than those of the present time. Fourteen-cent cotton has, in other words, come to stay. It may be re- lieved after a while by 15-cent cot ton, but not by lower priced cotton this side of next August or September.
 The spinners should confine their at tention to the price of goods. They should make all goods upon a 14-cent basis and await the demands of a naked world A sharp advance Is al- ways resisted, but it is not wise to resist an advance based on con- fessed shortage in the crop of the cotton year.

HNrSeS Gnlna Out of Town

The horse is now confronted by the bicycle, the automobile, the aeroplane, the motor truck and the gasoline en- zine in various forms on the farm. Some day the horse cannot withstand this great and increasing array of foes.
 Certain it is that auto taxieabs are driving out of the larger cities hacks, hansoms and omnibusses. and they are beginning to invade the lesser cities. Today carriage builders are feeling the impending change. Those carriage builders who have found a market for products in urban and su- burban quarters are beginning to feel insecure. Orders are decreasing and forced sales result in small receipts. Some hansoms were recently sold in New York at SIT apiece.
 AS things are going in the cities a sanitary plea will soon be raised that for health's sake horse stables should be forbidden. The march of the auto mobile and the auto truck will soon render such a plea feasible and piaus- ible, and then the home of the horse will be in the country. No one hV- ing will see the day when the horse loses his usefulness in the country. Horse stables in cities are a source of disease, because they breed nies, and flies are the great distributors or disease germs. All in all the disuse of the horse in cities seems to be com ing. but in the country the lover or horses will be free to enjoy his favor ite animal, and it is much too soon to predict the disappearance of the horse on the roads and In the fields of the open country districts.

RULES OF THE AIR.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 A committee Is engaged in formulating rules for the aerial speedway. Its work has not been made public, but the mem bers do not deny that the following es- sential regulations will be adopted:
 Aviators to turn to the right when this can be done without turning turtle; other wise. to duck.
 No balloonist without plenty of sand shall make an ascension.
 Wind not permitted to blow while avia- tors are aloft. or aviators to blow after they have come down.

 Birds alighting on gas bags to be ruled off as foul.
 No aviator to engage in a church steeple chase
 Machines taking fire while in flight shall drop in a damp spot.
 Cows and farmers to be dragged at an chor ropes at their own risks only.
 Wireless messages intercepted by ac- cident to be regarded as confidential.
 DiScussion as to lnerlls ol uiiierehl makes of machines forbidden at less altitude than thousand feet.
 People who shoot at balloons, biplanes. monopianes, or just aeroplanes, to be put on a blacklist, and their names pub lished.
 The mischance of being caught in a storm and struck by lightning not to be held as refiecting upon the skill of the aviator.

FROM WIsHlNG-LANp.

By Robert Louis Stevenson. Dear lady. tapping at your door
 Some little verses stand, And beg on this suspicious day
 To come and kiss your hand. Their syllables all counted right. 3as Their rhymes each in its place, Like birthday children, at the door
 They wait to see your face. Rise, lady, rise and let them in;
 Fresh from the fairy shore. They bring you the things you wish to
 have,
 Each in it's pinafore. For they have been to Wishing Land This morning in the dew, And all your dearest wishes bring All granted-home to you. What these may be. they would not tell And could not if they would; They take the packets sealed to you As trusty servants should. But there was one that looked like love, And one that smelt like health And one that had jingling sound I fancy it might be wealth. An, well, they are but wishes still;
 But lady, dear. for you I know that all you wish is kinc,
 1 pray 1t all come true.

North Birmingham Schools.

''Never in the history of North Birming- ham have the public schools been in as good condition as now" said man in- terested in education. Few schools in the district have made as rapid progress as these. Only a few years ago the school was taught in one small building by two teachers. Today there stands in this thriving suburb two large, well equipped brick building and two frame buildings Twenty-two competent white teachers and one negro teacher are employed and near 800 pupils have been enrolled. Prof Dixson Berry is principal and Mrs. H. A. McKinnon is vice principal.
 Mrs. McKinnon will address the pat rons Thursday afternoon on the subject of School Improvement She has with in the last few years visited the schools in most of the large cities in the United States and Canada and will tell the ladies few of the improvements needed to make the school second to none in the state. Much interest is already mani fested in the Improvement association and in a few weeks it hopes to be one of the most useful in the Birmingham district. North Birmingham is to be con- graduated on its school system"

Next Tuesday'S Elections

New York city fills so large a space in the public eye that som> people are led to think the election N next Tuesday is to be confined to that town, whereas 1t will extend to about dozen states. Some of the dozen will elact Legislatures or minor state offi- cers or both. while several will elect governors. The states that elect gov ernors are Massachusetts, Rhode leland South Carolina and Virginia.
 There are republican insurgents In hoth Massachusetts and Rhode Island and the democrats are entertaining hopes of success in both states. hhooe Island has of late acquired the habit of rebuking it's Brayton-Aldrich ma chine by electing democratic goyer- nors. and it may do so next fues- day.
 The contest in Virginia Is interest ing The democratic nominee is Judge Monn who is A statewide prohibition ist. The republican nominee, MT. Kent, is an advocate of local option. The disturbing effect of the liquor problem in the state campaign remains to De measured, but the chances are that Tudge Mann. the regular democratic nominee will be the next governor of Virginia. MT. Taft is helping the renublicans of Virginia all he can, hut the more he helps them the more eurelv will the democrats rally to the party candidate.
 In Maryland a comptroller IS to De chosen. and constitutional amend ment interded to disfranchise many negroes will be voted on. If the amendment be ratified fully four-ffths Inf fine negro vote of the state will be eliminated and this would render Marylan1 as surely democratic as Ala lama or even Texas.
 The New York city election fills, however, a large place, and the first inquiries next Tuesday night will re- late to the triangular contest in which Judge Gaynor is the democratic can didate, MT. Hearst the civic alliance candidate, and MT. Barnard the repub- lican candidate, for mayor. Judge Gay nor's election by a plurality is gener. ally conceded by competent observers in the big city.

Brooks LaWreDCe'S Passes

The superintendent of the Anti Saloon league rides up and down this state at the expense of the railroads. He certainly does not do this as a person "exclusively engaged" to use the words of the criminal code of 1907, 'in charitable and eleemosynary work" for he is engaged in cam paign and political campaigns are not onducted-exclusively conducted-as charitable and eleemosynary enter prises. If that were the case passes would also have been sent to Chair man Lee Long, who manages the oth- CT side of the campaign, and MT. Long has not seen a pass in so long a time he would not recognize one, at least at first sight.
 MT. Lawrence is singled out no doubt because he is "a minister of religion" !" for the criminal code permits railroads to give passes to ministers of re- ligion." True, an intrastate pass should logically be given to an intrastate min ister of religion, but in the case under consideration an intrastate pass has been given to an interstate minister of Toledo, Ohio, who has no pastorate  anywhere. The ministers of religion in Alabama get reduced rates, but no passes.
 The railroads go outside of their cus- tom in the case of Mir. Lawrence. They give him a pass as a minister of re- ligion when they give no minister who has a flock in Alabama one, so far as the knowledge of The Age-Herald extends. They are simply casting an

SmOkelsSS Burning of Coal

The Tinted States geological sur vev has a station in Pittsburg' anu tbis station claims to have found a workable solution of the smoke hui' sance. It's plant in that city is operac i,, absolutely without smoke, in spite of the fact that it is using coal coh- sidered refuse by the trade and cost ing only SS cents ton delivered at +ba station. The secret of the success lies in perfect combustion before the oosas strike the chilling surface or tho boiler and this perfect combustion depends upon the use of mechanical stokers.
 As nerfect combustion would reduce coal bills from to 10 per cent, the nlan has an economic as well as sanitary side. The aesthetic loss h. x,o,ved fin A smoke-laden atmosphere went unheeded, but if the geolog1cal survey can convince manufacturers that money can be saved ln periec' combustion, there is hope that better methods will be adopted.
 As soon as the plans of the geolog- ical survey are worked out they will no doubt be published, and then an effort will be made to put an end to the deleterious effects of smoke es- pecially in large cities.

BETSY ROSS,

From the Kansas City Times.
 Betsy Ross was born in Philadelphia. January l, 1752. She was the daughter of Samuel and Rebacca Griscom. Skillful with the needle, she was fond of em- broidery and other artistic and delicate work, and after her marriage. in 177S. to John Ross, a young upholsterer, she also became an upholsterer. The young couple conducted their upholstery business in Philadelphia until January 177s. when John Ross died from an injury, suffered while guarding military stores, and the young widow continued the business alone. When Congress appointed a committee authorized to design a suitable flag for the nation," in June 1776. the committee accompanied by George Washington. called upon her in her shop at 239 Arch street, and engaged her to make a flag from a pencil drawing made by Wash ington. The drawing represented the out lines of g flag of IS stripes, with a field dotted with 13 stars. The stars had six points, as Washington wished to avoid making a design for flag that would be an exact copy of his coat of arms. Upon Mrs. Ross suggestion, however, the star was changed to a five-point one, and the sample flag made by her was accepted by the committee and adopted by Congress, June IA, TIT. Afterwa I'd she received a contract to make all the government flags, and held 1t many years her daughter, Mrs. Clarissa Wilson, con- tinuinfi the business until 1857. Mrs. Ross was afterward married to Captain Ash burn, and for the third time to John Claypole. She died in Philadelphia, Jan uary 30, 1888.

President a Sportsman.

"The President who will visit Birming ham next week." said local baseball fan, '.is one of the truest sports in the country, and should assist in breaking Birmingham's hoodoo while here. He is one of the biggest and the jolliest of baseball fans in the country. He has the reputation of always pulling for the winning team and Is also football en- thusiast, a golf fanatic and several other brands which go to make up a sports man.
 While young he was not so corpu- lent and at the Woodward high school in Cincinnati made a good record on the football squad. At Yale he was bumped and hazed and bullied by the coach, and went all the rounds of the college man.
 While here he may wear one of the little gold footballs on his coat, which honor is only granted to the members of the teams, the coach, and the honor ary coach, which office he holds at Yale."

ABDUL A BUILDER.

From the Kansas City Star.
 Abdul Hamid, like all his predecessors. has had a mania for building The Eu- ropean visiting Turkey for the first time is astounded at the number of white gleaming palaces which line either side of the Bosphorus. And in every city of the empire there is kiosk set apart for the Sultan, which he never visited, all of them palatial abodes, filled with choice furniture. rare marbles. mirrors and lusters from Venice, mosaics from Florence and Rome, with deep-hued car- pets, soft and velvety as fur. These mag nihcent residences are nominally guarded by major-domos who live there with their families in comfortable drowsiness and ease and with only one object in life, that of maintaining their places.
