PASSING OF COUNTRY DOCTOR

From the New YORK Woriu
While all authorities admit that there
are too many doctors in America today
and that the medical schools are turning
them out In far greater numbers than
will be needed for generations to come,
the closing of the smaller medical col
leges, as planned by the Carnegie feunda-
ton. will have a serious effect upon the
country at large. And for this reason:
The crossroads doctor is already pass
ing.
The heads of the big medical colleges
receive letters almost every day from
small country towns saying that the
village doctor is dead and that there is
a good opening for a young physician.
The graduates of the big medical schools
who have spent seven or eight years In
fitting themselves for their life work are
unwilling to settle down in small COM
munities. They want to begin their prac-
tice in the cities where there is an op
portunity to make a good income. Be-
sides, most of them have specialized along
certain lines. They do not want to en-
gage in general practice, especially in
a small town, where even with the hard
est work 1t is impossible to make more
than $4,000 or $4,000 a year. Accordingly,
the country towns are supplied today
by the smaller medical colleges, which
students can enter direct fiom high
school, The students in these colleges
are usually without much money and
they return to their country districts to
practice. So when many of these smaller
medical schools are wiped out of exis-
tence-as they will be within compare
lively short time-the country will be
confronted with new probiem-the prob
lem of the village doctor.

1T has been said that negroes do not
feel the same as white people, said w.
p Gum, secretary Of the Besseiner board
of trade, yesterday afternoon, 'but in
many instances this is untrue. The
mother love in the negro is as strong as
in the white person. A very pathetic in
stance came to my notice a few days ago.
Two or three weeks ago a negro
woman was sitting In a chair while a
physician sewed up wound In her head.
Close by were four small children asleep
on the floor. The two eldest awoke and
told how their mother had been hurt. To-
day there went wagon with box, and
in the box the bodies of two of these
same children, who had been killed by
lightning, while the mother followed with
the two younger ones In the face of this
woman's silent grief how many will say
that the negro mother did not feel the
same pangS that any mother would have
under the same circumstances"

MEMORIES.

MEMORIES.
20 blossoming lanes that wind and
wind"
Between the hills green wooded
slopes,
Where days are sweet and nights are
kind
And hearts oerbrim with youthful
hopes!
The songs we sing when the world is
new
Seem strangely sad in after years,
And phantoms pale still crowd the view,
Dimly discerned through a mist of
tears.
20 blossoming lanes that wind and
wind
To far-sped feet you call in vain;
These ways for aye we've left behind,
Well never tread those paths again.
But memories troop-fantastic train.-
Up from the wales of long ago;
And the gray old man is child again,
Though his ancient poll be as white
as snow!

Abroad Dame Scandal flies; her sooty
wings
Reeking with hate and envy, brush the
skies
And render the aetherial blue of heaven
A fit abode for ghouls, instead of angels.
She passes on. The sacredness of love
On earth, the sacredness of death--not all
That mortals hold invilate are to her
Worthy of pity or regard. She mocks
The purity of purest thought; and still
Weak mortals worship at her shrine.
They kneel
Evn on the lowly spot which marks the
grave
OF some poor hapless human who in death
Sought refuge from her tongue, and raise
to her
Prayers as tokens of their lasting hon.

Old and Appreciative Subscriber

Mr.. N P. Clark of Union Grove,
Marshall county, a subscriber to The
Age Herald's weekly edition, is one of
that large class of intelligent and in
dustrious farmers who keep in touch
with the outside world by reading
newspapers, and Mr.. Clark not only
reads but in honest phrase he expresses
his appreciation of the press. In let
ter to the circulation manager of The
Age Herald Mr.. Clark writes:

subscriber to your paper in any rural

WHEN TT RAINS.

Gray are all the skies above,
Dreary beats the rain;
Here and there a childish face
'Gainst window-pane.
Up and down the wind goes,
Signing fitfully,
Here and there drowned rose,
Haunt of honey-bee.
Gray are all the skies above,
All the cutters moan,
Mingling with the rain-drops'
Doleful montone.
Wonder where is Mister Sun?
Guess he's gone away;
Never see his smiling face

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
A Great Exposition

The Ohio Valley exposition, to be held
in Cincinnati from August 20 to Septem-
Der "a, will be of especial interest to the
south. In fact, one Of its chief objects Is
to exploit the resources of the south. Gin.
cinnati is essentially an exposition city.
1t has been pioneer in educative exhibits
and it has perhaps had greater number
of industrial and agricultural shows than
any other city in this country. COM
missioner General f. B. Davidson gives
this interesting information.
We are covering 10 states with our ex-
ploitation matter. the tone and quality
of which has never been excelled by any
exposition. These 10 states comprise the
Ohio river valley and the south, having
population of Il, 100000 people.
The last exposition here, in 1906, had an
attendance of 226.000. and we are conf
dent that the attendance at this exposi-
ton will reach 100000 owing to the fact
that President Taft has promised to be
with us one entire week, ex-President
Roosevelt has given us every reason to
expect that he will open this exposition;
while Thomas A. Edison has promised to
honor us with his presence on Edison
Day If possible. In addition to the fore
going the railroads. running into and
through the south have combined for
the purpose of creating a comprehensive,
collective exhibit of all the southern re-
sources, and have taken and paid for
2i,o00 square feet of floor space for that
purpose.
IT believe the fact will be conceded that
a new day has dawned in the Ohio val
ley and the south. The march of progress
from east to west has left-fanked; the
tide of capital and labor is flowing toward
the southlands Trade lines are being
pushed throughout these sections with
zeal which means intensified commercial
ism and consequent results. The Ohio
Valley exposition is the south's opportun-
ity.
THE Ohio Valley exposition will cover
about 10 acres of ground space, compris-
ing eight distinctive exhibit halls, which
will contain the following installations
Government exhibits, southern resource
exhibits, liberal arts machinery, trans
portation, agriculture and agricultural im-
PIGMENTS, electricity and electrical ap-
planes and municipal exhibits and pure
foods, thereby establishing the industrial
scope of this exposition.
Free floor space and free return freight
privileges, with the cost of equipment and
maintenance at the minimum, assures Sc
lective exhibits
Maj f. Y. Anderson is representing the
exposition in Alabama. With the assist
ance of Fred Sloss he is securing a COM
prehensive exhibit Of the resources of this
district.
