THINGS EASILY TO BE DONE.

IlSSlSlSIs
There are some civic improvements
that it is possible to make without a
great expenditure of money-some,
without any Expenditure at all-and
without any excessive activity on the
part of the authorities. There are or
dinances forbidding persons to spit on
the sidewalks, and forbiddiug the
throwing of rubbish or waste paper
INTO the streets; commanding house
holders to sweep their sidewalks and
requiring wagons that carry loose ma
terial to be>so constructed that they
will not scatter cargo on the surface
of the paved streets. These and some
| other ordinances, if wen enforced.
would help make the city more slightly.
| We are to have a large gathering of
visitors here from other cities next
month-persons who are used to mod
ern city ways-and they will criticise
us if we are found neglecting the OBJ
viously easy duties, and allowing the
public to misuse the thoroughfares
Another easy thing to do, it seems
to us, and one that costs nothing extra
as it has to to be lone some time, soon
er or later, is the ordering that where
for any reason, they shall be repaired
and placed in condition at once. This
is duty much overlooked both by the
board and by the property owners.
Repairs are made at convenience, or
are not made at all. Here we have a
fine sidewalk, laid within the year,
and part of a continuous walk extend
ing many blocks. In the last winter it
was torn up in three places by a con-
tractor who was constructing on the
property faced by the sidewalk. Three
big gashes were cut into it. The con-
tractor finished his labors, cleaned off
the building. removed his scaffolding
and shed-this was all his private
affair. The sidewalk remains as he
left it, and three months or more have
gone by. The public's side of the af
fair is forgotten.
This is not the contractors fault
He had no contract to repair what he
broke; but it is the fault of the prop
erty owners and of the representa-
tives of the city. We cite the con-
tractors act as showing simply that
private interests are attended to
promptly; while public interests wait
Another work that must be done
some time, and therefore, will cost no
more now than in future, and should
be done now, because it has long cried
out for attention, is the repaving of
the streets of the first paving district.
What an exhibit of Mobile progress for
the visiting Knights of Columbus to
see! The Register remarked some
months ago the wretched state of the
formerly asphalted streets in that dis
trict and called on the board 70 start
the repairs, in anticipation of the CON-
ing of the visitors form all parts of
the United States. The Register is in.
formed that the work is delayed by the
lack of a repair plant. Cannot the |
plant be hurried up? The time is very
short Let US at least show the visi-
tors that we are at work, making re.
pairs. To leave those streets just as
they now are would be to advertise Mo

THINK THE SPECIES
MAY BE CHANGED
Man Who Has Achieved Such Mar
velous Results With Floral and Veg
etable Experimentation May Turn
Attention to Fleecy Staple.

Luther Burbank, the California Wiz
ard" will be asked by the present
Georgia legislature to include the cot
ton plant in his future experiments.
The request will be voiced in the
form of a resolution introduced by
Representative Alexander, of Fulton
already concurred in by both houses
and will be conveyed to the famous ex-
perimenter in the near future.
The results of Mr. Burbank's work
on the cotton plant will be watched
with the greatest interest all over the
South, where anything relating to the
fleecy staple is of the first economic
Importance.
Species May Be Changed
While the direction Mr.. Burbank's
experiments will take are, o fcourse,
highly problematical, it is expected
he will confine much of his attention
to the production of a longer and more
even fiber than that now generally
raised. Increased production may also
demand attention, but that is thought
to be rather more a feature of cult
walton, while the species may prove to
be capable of radical changes under
the touch of the wizarl.
The value of cotton depends largely
upon its length and eveness of fiber.
Thus, Egyptian cotton brings about
vice as much as the ordinary domes-
ic cotton, simply because the fiber is
onger AMI almost invariably regular.
The average length staple is about
me and one-sixteenth inch, and each
additional sixteenth of an inch added
makes the cotton appreciably more

amous "Floradora long staple" is east |

made It. Around the main picture
are views of churches, business build

old buildings remain, one of which
is the Episcopal church. The old
Methodist church still stands, but the
cupola is knocked off, and instead
of purifying souls and uplifting hui
manity, 1t is now used to cleanse
soiled clothes, being occupied by the

building is still working in a good

tween Ferry and Trade. That big
hole in the ground has been used
for many years for dumping
ground for everything under the sun.

well filled up, and with n top dress
