Much Ado About Nothing.
Fourth Pan-American Conference

The fourth Pan-American conference
was assembled at Buenos Ayres last
Tuesday. 1t meets to consider matters
relating to all the Americas, including
Improved transportation by rail and wa
ter, better mail facilities, patents and
trademarks, quarantine and customs
regulations.
This country is represented at Buenos
Ayres by a strong delegation, and all
fear of a Latin combination against the
United States will no doubt be dssi-
pated by the wisdom and tact of our
delegation. The opposition of this coun-
try to Castro. zelaya and Madriz has
undoubtedly aroused some uneasiness in
the Latin republics, and some of them
are no doubt wondering what Secretary
Knox will do next. But Brazil and Ar
gentina do not share this tension and
uneasiness, and 1t is scarcely probable
that it will be seriously felt at Buenos
Ayres.
No doubt the United States delegation
will strive seduously to advance Pan
American interests and Pan-American
progress. The Latin republics are be-
calls for a Pan-American combination to
twenty-one republics south of the Can
adam border.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES


THE death of Capt. William c. Ward
will cause deep and sincere sorrow IN
Selma. where he was at one time one
of its foremost lawyers and purest cit
izens,' said Percy Clark.
Il feel a personal loss, for since l
was a boy up to a few days ago. J.
had learned to take counsel of him as
a man of wisdom, of ripe experience,
and loyalty in every Relationship in
life. Only last week when seated at
table in a refreshment place we had
planned that I should come with j
stenographer and with an interviewer
put into writing his reeoilections OF
the days of reconstruction in Selma.
Captain Ward marched with Cen
men the day of the Selma riot, when
the negroes dragged a white man
through the streets of Selma and left
him for dead though they failed to
kill him.
Captain Ward was one of the ablest
of the very ablest bar all in all, in
any community in Alabama. He was
in class with Brooks, Roy Lapsley,
Pettus Dawson Morgan, Wood. john
ston and Aleck White 1t was as a
chancery lawyer, when 1t required
student to know and interpret and APP
ply the laws, as distinguished from
the encyclopedia lawyer of today that
Captain Ward was rated highest and
as such was the peer of any man at
the bar in Ala bama.

of us who were boys in Dixie in 1865

and other great commanders are fast

One More State RatifeS Income Tax

After a long and exhaustive but wholly
unnecessary discussion the Georgia leg
islature has ratified the pending income
tax proposition. The vote in the Geor-
gia senate stood 90 yeas. 10 nays, and
in the lower house 1t was 125 yeas and
A. nays.
This makes eight states that have rati-
fed the Observation-Disclosures, South Car
DINA, Kentucky, Maryland, Illinois, Okla
homa, Mississippi and Georgia. 1t can not
be said that any state has rejected It,
for II is a live issue in all of the states
and it will no doubt be accepted by all
or nearly all. in the long run. The action
in Virginia and Louisiana, based or
special interests. will certainly be re-
versed by the first vote cast by the peo-
pie for members of the legislature. Nc
adverse vote is final, for subsequent af-
frmative vote is all that is needed. There
Is no time limit. Ratification ten years
hence will be good.
The ratification movement aims to Gre
ate sixteenth amendment of the con-
stitution, as follows. THE congress shall
have power to lay and collect taxes on
incomes, from whatever sources derived
without apportionment among the several
states and without regard 10 any CEN
sus or enumeration"

He has a flrst-class choir position as bari

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
syMpToMATJC

Do YOU get up in the morning out OF
sorts with all the world,
And disposed to wish you never had
been born?
Do you gaze upon the golden sun, the
flowers dew-impea rled,
With a feeling that is close akin to
scorn?
Does the sound of some one singing in
the boarding house next door
Fill your heart with thoughts of MUIR
der's bloody crime?
Do you hate the thought of working
Do you hate 1t more and more?
Is there nothing In this life that seems
sublime?
Do you cut yourself while shaving? Do
you seem much more bald-headed
Than you did. we'll say, day or two
ago?
Do you wrestle with your collar till your
tie is almost shredded
And jump up and down till dodgers
quake below?
Do you miss the car you wanted and
must wait for half an hour.
While the world is getting blacker,
blacker still?
If it thus befalls. my brother, I'm afraid
you're in the power
OF the hookworm and he's working
with a will.

From the New York Press.
Most men seem to think an excuse for
failure is as good as success.
The thing a woman can have faith in
Is something nobody can prove.
Money goes far enough when 1t is ahead
of you and you are trying to catch it.
No woman ever feels she Is dressed up
outside without plenty of ribbons in
side ~
Nothing seems meaner in a man than
for him to get the best of you instead of
letting you do it to him.

Reading More Than Ever

Il have been in the retail newspaper
business for several years connected
with this drug store but l have never
witnessed such fine trade in the reading
line. as has been enjoyed during the
past few days" said Roy c. Kay, of
Parker's drug store.
Yesterday sales were registered for all
figures up to 81 for papers time after
time throughout the day. 1t seemed to
me that the local papers were sold out
before the day started good and the
foreign papers for the visiting people
went like hot cakes.
The prize fight editions of the va
rious eastern papers which were delay
ed in reaching us sold off very rapidly.
1t was noticeable, too, in connection with
prize fight stories that the negroes
seemed to be almost the exclusive buy
ers. Not that we did not sell some
whites but the great majority went to
the negroes. The sales continued
throughout yesterday and today and our
stock was depleted, very soon after the
arrivals.
THE weekly papers, such as the Post,
and Life are also being bought better
than before have doubled our orders
for these two publications within the
reading more than ever now.'

The Biqaest Excursion,


The biggest railroad excursion In
the world probably is that of the EN-.
ployees Of Bass & Co., the English
brewers. Once a veal the firm treats
Its employees and their families to a
trip to the seashore. They were
taken this year from Burton-on-Trent
to Scarborough, on the east coast, a
distance Of 1874 miles, where they
spent the day. Twenty trains were
required to transport the 5000 men,
women and children from Burton to
Scarborough.
In addition to the days outing the
cost Of which was borne by the firm.
each employee received days wages.
These excursions were inaugurated Al
years ago, when two special trains
were sufa Gent to carry Bass 900 EN-.
ployees and their families to Liv.
erpool.
Another English firm, Lever & Co..
the soapmakers, give their employees
an annual excursion and sometimes
have taken their men as far from Liv.
erpool as Paris. The outing Is con.
fined to the employees alone. Their
families do not participate in 1t.

ONE THING you CAN'T Do

You can laugh when trouble hits you
You smile when clouds appear,
You can grin when worry "gits you,"
And when disappointment's near;
You can laugh when rain is falling,
II you are a cheerful soul,
But you cannot do much laughing
When the boat begins to roll.
You can bear up under sorrow,
You a calmly shoulder woe,
And perhaps no sign of anguish
VIII your visage ever show;
You may hide all sign Of Weakness.
Though your hopes are in the ditch;
But you canno hide your feelings
When the boat begins to pitch.
the cheer-up poets tell you
To preserve a cheerful face,
And to smile at all your troubles,
And to never show a trace
Of the petty griefs that fret you;
But you'll lose your s~elf-control,
And o will not smile, I'll bet you,
When the boat begins to roll.
