The Goose was Crippled

Some months ago the Saline
Citizen had an item about David
Vawter, the son of w. F. Vawter,
OF Salt Springs, having killed a
wild goose with a stone. The
item was copied and is just getting
into full swing now over the state
in the various weeklies. John
Vawter, his brother when asked
about it, said the article was cor
rect in part. His brother ran
across a wild goose which had been
shot in the head and could fly but
a short distance at a time. BY
sneaking up to it he succeeded in
knocking it down with a rock and
carried it. home in triumph. What
surprises us is that the goose hasn't
grown into a big flock by this
time.

But all. of your imagination is not vast enough
to paint a California as wonderful as the real.
Its hills are lovelier than those of the Mediter-

ever beheld; its flowers are more brilliant; its
skies softer-its air is sweeter than that of the
Maritime Alps. Take the all year round

MT. Stalllns'S Campaign Fund Statement

The Age-Herald finds nothing to criti- else but much to commend in Chairman Stallings' prediction statement of the source of the state democratic campaign fund. The entire fund was but $99oo. and MT. Stallings shows approximately how it was expended, and he shows definitely where it came from.
 ] The statement is a precedent that should be followed hereafter. Before every state election a similar statement should be published. It should be sworn to just as Chairman Stallings statement has been this year It not only serves an useful purpose this year but it stands as precedent for the future, and it will be well, indeed, if every chairman of a democratic state campaign hereafter will observe the precedent. The people should insist upon a retention of the plan that Messrs. Stallings and Altman have thoughtfully and periodically begun.

fish coal and supply stations at both ends of the canal He says coal and supplies will be sold by the United States to vessels at a fair profit.
 The coal problem is at the bottom of MT. Tafts visit to Panama and the vari- ous rumors that have been started in connection with annexation. The coal concessions along the border of the ca nal zone present the broader question in an acute form, and MT. Taft goes, no doubt, to Panama to consider both the coaling problem and annexation. The two problems are. really one. Thus far no details concerning the coal conces- sions along the border of the canal zone have been published. but it is safe to say that the West Virginia operators are on the spot and that the concessions on the border of the canal zone are in their interest. The coal concessions at the isthmus remain. however. a good deal of a mystery.

 England's court of former rulers and fallen aristocrats Is giving the glad hand to King Manuel of Portugal. the exile. Louis Philippe, Due d'Orleans living picture of Henry of Navarro ranking remainder of the Bourbons grasping the last straws of royal dig nifty, lives in a somber country home where to his court some of the old noble families of France send their sons who call him Philippe VIII.

Then there is Empress Eugenie al Chislekurst No husband, no son, no throne-nothing but the memory of great days.

Party Harmony and a Full Vote

With bright democratic prospects else where, 'ft would" said John B. Knox recently "be nothing short of a calamity if Alabama should fall down in her vote, or If we should lose Tennessee alto- gether" Either would be damaging, and both would be heralded from one end of the country to the other as an indi- cation that the solid south is getting ready to leave the democratic party. The republicans would gain new cour- age from loss of even 5000 votes in Alabama
 Let there then be no stay-at-homes to- day. The weather is good throughout the state and a full vote should be polled.
 In this county all differences among democrats should be forgotten and full round vote cast for Emmet O'Neal, than whom the party never had a more stead fast standard bearer. He should be elect ed by the large full vote of the party.
 In this county every voter should turn out to honor Oscar W. Underwood. who as chairman of the ways and means committee in the next Congress will reflect honor on the district and the state. He stood strong and true through out the days of weakness in the party in the House. and the district should send him back indorsed by a full vote when victory draws near in Washington.
 The entire ticket consists of good men, and no democrat and no good citizen should neglect his plain public duty to- day-his duty to his state. his neighbor- hood and his neighbors

GREAT LONDON STORE

From the London Express.
 A palatial shop is to be built in Lon. don, of which the Express has the fol lowing account from one of the man. agers. He went to America to inspect department stores and says: |.
 I discovered my model in Chicago There I visited the premises of Marshall Field & Go. The new Whiteley's will cover four acres The architecture is to be of the Grecian-Corinthian style, with large central dome.
 Tn all there will be five floors, each having a circular corridor. From the top corridor the customers look down a well and can see everything that takes place on the ground floor.
 Italian gardens are to be laid out on portion of the roof-one acre in extent. Here flowers of every description will be grown, shady trees will setter customers from the sun and tea will be served in the summer on a grass lawn nearly 100 feet above the street below.
 "The playground, which will be devoted to children, is to be on the top floor No intruders will be allowed We shall have several nurses in charge and every form of amusement will be provided for the children while their parents are shopping.
 There is to be miniature sea beach, with real sand and shells, and spades and buckets will also be provided, so that the little ones will have all the pleasures that could be found in day at Margate.
 ''The necessity for such an institution will be appreciated when 1t is stated that women often come up from the country and spend the whole day in the stores"

Panama's New Problem

President Taft will this week steam on route to Panama. To use his own words, he goes to Panama, where he will stay four or five days, to consider the fortifying of the canal, the question of the kind of government for the canal gone, the control of the coal stations ct and near the canal and the attitude between the United States and Panama in the future as well as at present
 The better opinion seems to be that the granting of coal concessions by Pan anna along the canal zone border has raised the question whether the whole of Panama should not be annexed We have. it is true, guaranteed the inde- .pendence of Panama. but the coal sup ply problem and other similar problems may raise the question of annexation even against the terms of the Hay, Bunau varilla treaty
 Minister Arosemena, who represents Panama at washington, says the Unites States will take over all the coal conces sions in the canal zone and will estab

Commodity Rates In the Southeast

Seven members out of nine of the inter that the rates adopted August 1, 1908, by 1O2 railroads in the south on meats, flour, grain, packing-house products and other time freight shall stand. In mak- ing this decision they expressed regret that Congress had not given them super vision of the stock and bond issues of the interstate railroads, and that it had not authorized any physical valuation of railroad property. Lacking these things, the commission held that the rates put into effect two years ago are needed in order that the railroads of the southeast may be brought up to the highest stand ard. This does not seem to be very logical but it is the basis of the deci- sion.
 Commissioners Lane and Clements dis scented from the decision of their asso-  ciates, alleging that nothing in the situa- ton justified an additional levy of 12 cents per capita on the people of the southeast.
 The rates have been in effect over two years, and the decision changes nothing, relating as it does to interstate shipments from Ohio and Mississippi river points; but the decision will be considered an indication that the commission will in February sustain the contention of the railroads for higher rates on a wide range of shipments, although the seven their decision is not to be construed in that way.
 Commissioner Clements lives at Rome, Ga. He is the only representative that the southeast has in the commission and he dissented altogether from the opinion of the majority of the commission. His dissenting opinion is not at hand, but the summary of it shows that he stood out strongly against an increase of rates in the southeast.

Alahama'S Coal DapoSitS

The mine that has been opened at Sanie contains a 1s-foot seam of coal without a flaw! When veins are worked of that thickness 1t must be plain even to wayfarer that the coal deposits of this district are practically inexhausti- ble. They lie nearer the sea than other coal seams, and far nearer the Panama canal with barge navigation to begin with 965 days in the year.
 A picture of the states greatness in the next ten years should present the mine at Sanie and a barge carrying it's coal on the bosom of the Warrior en route to tidewater, for the coal depos- it's and water transportation of the dis trict are to be the basis of the district S greatness in the years to come
 Let us in the Census Jubilee stump the world to show better seam of coal than that at Sanie, or a better and more economical route for mined coal to tide water than the Warrior in government hands will soon present

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Triumphant Democracy Once Nor,


 "The democratic party was in bat shape for many years subsequent to 1893 but it has got together once more and is not only going to be victorious this week but in 1912," said Edward B. Daffron, a manufacturer of Chicago.
 "The republican party is more unpopu- lar today than have ever known it, and have been a voter 30 years. I voted the republican ticket in 1880; voted for Gar field and Arthur. It was my first ballot. I voted for Grover Cleveland in 1884 and have voted the democratic ticket twice since then; am ready to vote it again now, and intend to do likewise in 1912.
 ,"The democratic party has perhaps never been so rich in presidential ma- terial as it is now. I cannot recall time since 1892 when the party had in 1t available statesmen like Harmon. Mar shall and Woodrow Wilson. It may be that Governor Harmon is too old to be considered for 1912, but he Is in strong health, I understand. He is certainly a stronger man physically than MT Til- den was in 1884, when he was reckoned with by the national democratic conven- tion, which met in Chicago. Governor Marshall of Indiana is a young, wiry man and would make a great President; but the best rounded democrat in thls country is Woodrow Wilson. And l would not be surprised if he, after all. was President Taft's successor in the White House."
