COLLEGE, FRIENDSHIPS

The friendships that are formed in col
iege. by an association Of four years at
time of life when our natures are NAL
leable, when our characters are being
formed, when we are not old enough to
have had our selfishness indurated. when
we respond more quickly to the emo
tons, when our ideals of friendship and
our actual friendships are more nearly
the same, are more enduring than
friendships formed thereafter. They are
friendships that bear the tooth of time
and the rust of absence. They are
friendships that can be taken up upon a
moment after an interval Of twenty years
and seem as fresh and as fragrant as the
flower e the friendship when it first
hlIdded.

ut seems to be settled that Governor
Mann of Virginia will appoint ex-Gov.
Claude Swanson United States senator to
John w. Daniel" said a member of Bir-
mingham's Virginia colony, who keeps
up with politics in the Old Dominion.
Swanson, although still a compare
lively young man, has had long political
experience. He served in Congress sew
eral terms and is shrewd politician. He
is personally popular, too, and once in
the Senate he is likely to stay there
for some time.
THE term which Senator Daniel was
serving at the time of his death ex-
pires March 3, 1911. The Virginia legsla-
ture is a biennial body. Its next meet
ing will be in January 1912; but when
1t does convene it will have to elect two
United States senators, for Senator Mar
tins term will expire March 8, 1918. The
nominations for the Senate will be made
In a primary during the summer of 1911.
Then look out for spirited contests. Mar
tin is the leader of the democratic ma
chine in Virginia, and, of course, he will
be a candidate. Ex-Gov. A. ]. Montague,
an anti Martin man, is almost sure to run
against him. Harry st. George Tucker,
who came very near beating Mann In
the last gubernatorial race, will prob
ably be a candidate for the Senate. And
there are many other ambitious demo-
Gratis who are thinking of running AL
together. next year promises to become
memorable In Virginia politics.

Regarding the Census

have run all the way from 10000 to 10000
but such estimates are no more than
guesses," said a local statistician.
Census tips are worth nothing. Just as
soon as the census bureau tabulates the
returns of the enumerators the result
will be made public. l think Birmingham
people, as a rule, will be satisfied II
the census shows a population of 12o,-
600. I will be most agreeably surprised
If we reach 125.000. Atlanta is claiming
ISL .00O-from inside information. But that
enterprising city will do well to appear
In the census list with $4,000"

CUBA GOOD PLACE
FOR BASEBALL
Hank O'Day Says the Island

New York, Jan. I9SCuba has i'm

should take a regular big league
team" over TO the island and show the
Cubans what severe baseball Is like.
OF course, it could not happen until
after the season is finished in the
United States. It is quite true that two
teams of ball players from the United
States enered Cuba this winter and
played with the natives. One of them
was team of very good players. and
so was the other, for that matter; but
they didn't walk a chalk mark with
such rightly as they might have done
mad they been under stricter discipline
1t would seem to be the idea of
ODay that regularly organized team
should cross over TO the island from
the United States, a team intact and
frosh from baseball championship in
the United States. and under rules sim
liar 10 those which exist at home. Also
mat they should play baseball in Cuba
for all they are worth.
1t may be observed that they might
pave 10 play for all they were worth
according 10 the players who have most
recently been in Cuba, they are begin
ming TO play bali on that side of the
strait with such skill and intelligence
mat our young men can't afford to lin

Its only q question of time before
we snail have an international cham

our national game. With the japanese
on one side, and the Cubans on the
other, we shall have 70 reckon with ath-
letes who take to baseball with some
thing or the real American avidity.
