A DESERTED VILLAGE
There's Next to Nothing Doing at Sara
 toga Now.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
 "Godsmiths deserted village hasn't anything on Saratoga" remarked Joseph Walser of Jersey City at the Raleigh.
 If there is one dead place in the United States 1t is Saratoga, and it's demise oc- cured in day. With the close of the racing season at the famous summer re sort the visitors fled from the springs like rats fram a ship. I do not believe, however, that the glories of Saratoga have gone forever, as some writers for newspapers prophecy. There will be rac- ing there next year and for several years tc come. The residents of Saratoga want racing; they live on it, and must have
 1t, and when a community wants any thing 1t generally gets 1t.
 While I was there one of the residents advanced an idea about government that appealed to me. It was to the effect that in matters such as racing cities ought to have the privilege of local option, just as many cities have in the matter~of the sale of liquor Now. why should thriv- Ing village such as Saratoga has been be completely ruined because the peo- pie of other parts of New York state have the privilege of legislating for it? I don't believe a law such as that passed by the New York legislature, which, If enforced literally, would mean an end of racing in Saratoga, as in every other part of New York state, will hold in the courts. and l expect to see the glories of Saratoga revived next year.
 And speaking of the glories of Sara toga, I must admit that many of them have departed. Time was when every thing was wide open there. The season was one continuous round of gayety Ev- erybody was on frolic, and everybody spent money This year, and, indeed, for several seasons, Saratoga hae been lack ing in the luster that characterized 1t decade ago. The clubs which used to en- certain hundreds of guests, who dallied with the fickle wheel and where hum al eds of thousands Of dollars were won and lost In night, long ago closed their doors. Canfield's, which was probably the most magnificent clubhouse in this coun- try, has not been open for three years. Garfield has gone to Mexico, where. l understand, he has engaged in business. HIS oiu pldce III odideoso e'iAl presents e beautiful aspect, with its Venetian gar dens, which are well kept, despite the fact that the clubhouse is going 10 de- cay. The men interested in racing do not want the old days, with their gambling, but they do believe that the sport of' kings should be permitted to live, ana ii Dick Wilson, president of the Sara toga association, can keep racing alive, he's going to do il"

Cities Compared

"I have visited many cities in the south and west recently and Birmingham shows more signs of progress than any of them," said Edward R. Fuller of Chicago.
 q had not seen this city since the early spring of 190S The effects of the panic of 1907 were then plainly visible. But today Birmingham not only look0 ohand- somer and buster than it ever did before, but it gives promise of being the largest city in the south in the not far distant future. The Improvements in both the business district and the residence sec tions within the past two years have been simply marvellous.
 Atlanta may have larger population than Birmingham in the census of 1910 but it is safe to say that if a census were taken in 1910 Birmingham would be considerably ahead of the Georgia me tropolis. And I do not mean to dis parage Atlanta in any way. It is a great city and will continue to push ahead But Birmingham as a manufacturing cen
 ter has so many advantages over an, other southern city that its growth is sure to be phenomenal

Rellinper On Roadr

W. G. Bellinger and Mrs. Bellinger of Gadsden arrived in Birmingham yester- day morning, and are stopping at the Morris hotel. Mir. Bellinger has been elected mayor of Gadsden and will as- sume his office october 8. They came to Birmingham in their automobile by the way of St. Clair Springs. where they spent part of two days.
 There Is a strip of road between Whit ney and springville, in St. Clair county, that Is badly in need of repair.' said Mr. Bellinger. "The Automobile club of Gadsdon has taken the matter up and will try to provide means of improving this road. Our plan is to make individual con- trlbutiors to be turned over to the com- missloners of St. Clair county, who will carry on the work.
 Tt is also our intention to ask the au- tomoDihsts of Birmingham to help in the matter, as they are all interested. With this strip of road, about seven or eight miles, completed we would have a good road from Birmingham to Gadsden.
 We found some very bad road in Bir- mingham after we passed Gate City this morning. The roads in the county are very good, but they are not so good in- side the city. There may be better streets than the one we found through the south ern part of Avondale, but this is the only route with which I am familiar.
 By the way, it seems to me that Blr- mingham should get busy and secure some of the southern automobile headquarters that I understand are being located in Att lanta. Birmingham is more central than Atlanta, and it is my opinion that some of these big concerns would open their southern quarters here if the people would go after them"

THE SICILIAN BREAKFAST

Sicily Letter to the Los Angeles Her
 aid.
 The Sicilian breakfast consists of strong, bitter coffee, drowned in bowl of goats milk. The goats are driven into town at about o'clock in the morning to be milked in front of or inside the homes. in the presence of the purchaser. This makes water ing impossible. Each goatherd has from six to a dozen goats under his charge Both he and his goats know the route. They come to a house and stop. Some one within indicates how much milk is wanted. The milkman has different measures, ranging in size from thim ble to a quart. A quart of milk costs 10 cents

Sold First Mineral Rights

T have the honor of having sold the first mineral rights on land in Franklin county" said w. T. Wilson of Russell vile, who was in Birmingham yesterday
 This was more than 9 years ago. It happens that the land on which I sold the right has never yet been developed for the reason that when the railroad was built through that section it passed some dis tance from my place, and this led to the development of other ore beds.
 There are valuable ore deposits in Franklin county, and they are being rap idly developed"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 A good way to SC man often when you are hard up is for him to be bill collector.
 Nothing gives a man such big appe- tite as for the doctor to warn him against overeating.
 A man can look at his own photograph in the family album longer than at all the others.
 Being a farmer wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for what they do to him in the funny papers.
 What convinces a man his wife appre- ciates him Is for him to sleep two hours after dinner in an armchair and have her say he just dozed of for minute.

A Rale Of Cotton

"J. H. Arnold & Co.,, of Birmin gham who, on Tuesday, bought the first bale of 1910 cotton sold in Gadsden at 22h cents a pound, not only paid a fancy price but with the bonus made up by the merchants of Gadsden, the pro- ceeds amounted to $165 for the bale, said a business man.
 "This is said to have been the largest price so far paid for one bale in the state of Alabama"

ORCHARDS BY THE SEA

From "Poems," by Meredith Nicholson. These groups of rugged apple-trees, Grim outposts of the fruitful land,
 Defying winds and seas. The waves that beat the rocks below
 For long have shaken branch and root Yet the gnarled boughs again will show Their meagre field of fruit. And inland apples, softly kissed
 On quiet boughs by dew and rain, Unfiavored by the salt-sea mist
 Untaught by the seas pain But tamely live, and never share
 Those secrets of the elder seas Once held inviolate by the fair :
 Fruits of Hesperides.

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
THE HILLS.

THE HILLS. What pathos fills The breeding hills When leaves are sere and brown, When summer flies And somber skies
 A dreary landscape crownl How sad they seem, As in a dream
 Of beauty long since fled; Or grouped around Some grave profound. AS mourners round the dead!

SEPTEMBER.

SEPTEMBER. Autumn comes with pensve brow, Dreamer of the year; Freezes fraught with gentle sighs Steal across the mere. Russet tints and hues of gold Stain the circling hills; Down the vale where summer flies Bodeful sadness thrills. Soon a mist shall wreathe the wold, Softly fall the leaves, While, as OCT her glory dmmed, Aged Nature grieves. Soon shall storms beat on the roof, Voleying with rain,- Wailful winds through naked boughs Drearily complain.
