 "Bibb county is situated in the central part of Alabama. having an area of $50 square miles. The surface of much of 1t broken. Nearly all the drainage is tribu- tary to the Cahaba river, which has a southwesterly course through the cen ter of the county. The lower half of the stream flows through valley from two to three miles wide. The tributary streams in the southern half of the county have more or less bottom land, but in the northern part, as well as the river itself, have very little alluvium.
 Physiographically the northeastern part is the extreme southern end of the Appalachian mountain system, the re- mainder of the county being essentially a part of the coastal plain.
 '"The settlement of this county began about 100 years ago The majority of the early immigrants came from the Carolinas and from Tennessee. The pres ent population of the southern and west orn parts is almost entirely rural, con- sisting for the most part of American born citizens. In the northeastern part there are comparatively few farmers Many of the residents in this section are foreigners or of foreign descent, and are employed in the coal mines
 .Blocton. the business center of the mining industry, is the largest town. Centreville, located at the head of the Cahaba valley. is the county seat.
 Transportation facilities are good. The Mobile and Ohio railroad crosses the southern part of the county. the South ern railway the eastern, and the Louis vile and Nashville and the Alabama Great Southern roads serve the northern part of the area.

 The newspaper office is his natural field. As editor of the Walker County News he is still in the harness and in that capaci- ty he is making himself felt over the en- tire state.
 Many of his Birmingham friends won- dcred why few years ago he retired from the activities of the larger city and narooned himself in q smaller town It appeared to his friends that he was talk ing a backward step, getting himself out of touch with the great forward move- nent of the district.
 He has answered his solicitous friends and those who know him best in the most practical way. He is by no means iso- lated and Is still the potent factor in the states development that he has ever been. If there Is any difference he is more powerful

H. K. Milner of Washington county was in Birmingham yesterday. He IS on his way home from the Alabama Good Roads convention, which was held in Montgomery the first of this week. MT. Milner is a member of the executive committee of the association, and is one of the leading good roads advocates m the state
 MT. Milner said. 'I see in this morn iDg's Age-TIerald that MT. John B. Knox of Anniston, candidate for United States senator attacks Senator John H. Bank head for the speech he made before tha convention of Montgomery. Mir Knox declares that Senator Bankhead was in- vited to the convention for the purpose of making an address on federal aid in the building of roads,
 T feel that the public and MT. Knox ought to be set right on this matter Senator Bankhead was not invited to the Montgomery conference, and was only called upon during the meeting in hls official capacity as a member or the ex- ecutive committee. Senator Bankhead was one of the original organizers of the Alabama Good Roads association, and has been member of the executive con'- mittee since the organization. I will add that he has always been one of the most active members of the association. He attended the convention as mem Der of the executive committee and was called on to make a speech during the meeting, which was mosA natural thing to do, owing to his position and connec- ton with the work of the association
 Mir Miner is well known in Birmins- ham, having spent many of his best years in the city ana district. He has recently aGopted Washington county as his home and is doing a great work in the develop ment of that most fertile section.
 He is conducting most practical sys- tenn of agricultural demonstration with the object of inducing high class Of im- migration to that section for the purpose of growing vegetables, fruits and other products of like character
 TalAing along this line, MT. Milner said; "Washington county is one of the most fertile and promising in the state agri- culturally. The pine timber and turpen- tine interests have about cleared the lands and laid them open to cultivation. They are very fertile and specially adapt ed to truck growing.
 We are trying to secure high class
 immigration of practical farmers, who will develop the country and improve the lands.

has. in a measure, secured those ee- ments of simplicity that make declining years comfortable and serene. He knows his neighbors and his neighbors know him. There is perhaps more of that pleasing neighborly communication in Jasper than Is found in buster center.
 And then he is monarch of all he sur veys" His Individuality has broad play. His thought and influence is not swal- lowed up and confused by a community of editorial power. When he talks the people know who is talking and give due respect to his personality.
 There is another feature of this new life which our friend MT. Evans Is enjoying. He is able to sustain close heart-to- heart fellowship with his constituents. l was in his office not long ago and found some difficulty in approaching his des.f for the abundance of potatoes cabbage, apples and other like evidences of sub stantial admiration that had been brought in by his devoted subscribers from the surrounding country
 Living Well, this is living some.

In truth it is well known that the
old line Republican leaders were OPP
posed to entering upon tariff revision
at ALL They resented the public de-
mand which necessitated an utterance
upon the question in the platform in
1908, and purposely made the tariff
plank tumble of words capable of any
sort of construction which political ex-
igency might dictate. Then after the
election it seemed as if they tried to
make the public sorry they ever thought
OF asking for a revision by giving them
increase instead of decrease and laugh
ing at or abusing those who complained
Now, almost before the echo Of the
platitudes and pledges Of 1908 has died
out, they come, and, through titular
leader, who, according to his own state
ment, regards party solidarity as Of
more importance than fulfllment Of
campaign promises, ask for further
trust To what purpose, pray? Only
to be deceived again?
The time has come when the Re-
publican party has to pay in advance
on the tariff question 1t has too often
construed the contract wrong, when
asked to pay after the election. Mr..
Taft lost his opportunity when he re-
fused to veto the Payne bill, and the
party lost its opportunity to pay in adj
vance at the tariff session Of 1909, and
the later regular session just closed. A
Democratic House will do its part to-
ward fulfilling some Of the sacred
pledges for downward revision made by
the Republican party, and in addition
will do some other things which that
party did not promise.

LITTLE KOREA.
Hermit Nation Becomes Posses
sion of Jap Empire.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The divine
right OF kings was never more pic
turesquely and dramatically exempli-
fled than in the news at the State De-
partment to-day.
His divine right majesty, the en-
peror of Korea makes present of a
whole empire and many millions Of
people to the emperor Of Japan, who
says substantially:
| take this empire for your good, "
and the trick has been turned
The interest of the United States con
sists in seeing that Uncle Sans trade
will not be affected by the deal. Ja-
pans justification, as given out by the
State department, is substantially that
Korea could not govern itself and pro-
tect foreigners; that reforms were abso-
lutely essential in Korea, and therefore
Japan shall undertake the entire gov
ernment and management of Korea.
Japan has formulated the rules for
the Government of Korea when an
nexed and promises to Foreigners in
Korea the same rights and immunities
as in Japan proper. "
The export and import duties and
tonnage dues are to remain the same.
The powers will have existing coast traf-
fc rights
The free trade port of Mashampo is
closed, but a new treaty port, Shinwiiu,
will be opened
The text of the annexation treaty is
also made public by the State Depart
ment After the recitation of the gift
and its acceptance the emperor of Japan
graciously continues to the emperor and
ex-emperor, crown prince of Korea and
many others dignity and honor ap-
propriate to their respective ranks, "
with plenty Of money to compensate
them for what they have lost Koreans
who distinguish themselves in their an
nexed conditions will be granted peer
ages and large money fees.
