legislature In sympathy with him. Who ever Is elected this time will, likewise, find 1t rather difficult sailing without a legislature in harmony with him.
 Yet in some sections of the state it Is already apparent that legislators will be chosen out of harmony with the guber- material candidate who may carry the county represented A striking instance of this fact is presented in the case of Morgan county which has gone for Hoke Smith in the last two elections, and which Is likely to go for him this year, though the Brown men are claiming 1t. Nevertheless, the Hoke Smith element has accepted a Brown man as represen- tative from Morgan, and he will be elect ed without opposition. He is Hon. F. s. Burney, who, when he announced his candidacy, stated he was for Brown, and such is said to be his strength in the county that the "other school of poli- tics" decided not to put out candi- date against him.
 Appeal has been made, regardless of politics, for legislature which shall be in accord with the views of the new gov ernor, whoever he may be. but they are not going to fight 1t out in Morgan, and a similar situation prevails in many other counties with only one candidate in the race. On the other hand-here and there tight lines are drawn, and the legisla- tive races are being fought out with no other issue than that of Smith vs. Brown.

The privilege of borrowing from ones friends and neighbors has Tn so many instances become such an abused privilege that one Is not sur prised to find, in many instances, the crudest methods resorted to In regard to defending the right of ownership of a fayorite c nd valuable oook' nat or dress, or, perhaps, the last egg or nound of buttc., writes a contemporary. Borrowing is especially. 1t seems a characteristic of women; It may De bo.ause they, most of them, can't so f,l1v realize the intrinsic value of an article. or again it may be for the reason that when caught in an em- barrassing situation that lnevitaol method of relieving it is first present. ed to the womar's mind. Il will Just borrow it." But that men are some times addicted to the habit has been illustrated in many cases.
 Decidedly apropos is the story told in recent Lippincott's of two men who had each a touch of the borrow ing habit.
 "A writer of miscellaneous matter, so the story goes, pelns JuSe 'heh engaged on an article on pessimistic literature, learned that one authority he wished to consult-Edward von Hartmann-was to be found in the library of a lawyer of the place. Ac- cordingly. the writer repaired to the lawyers house and asked the loan or the volume.
 You are entirely welcome to It," said the owner, but you mustn't take if from my library. I'm sorry. but I've lost SO many books through leno- ing them that year ago l registered solemn VOW never to let another vol unoe leave my house."
 The writer thanked the lawyer put of course. he did not avail himseit or Inc nrivilege extended him.
 Some time later the lawyer came to +be writer and asked to borrow his lawn mower.
 .I am delighted to lend you my lawn mower" said the writer, though if is my rule never to permit It to leave my lawn. There, however, you may use it to your hearts content"

ABOUT MRS. ALDRIcH,s PLAYING

Tn lengthy critisism of a song re- cital in Evanston, Ill.,, by Walter Allen Stults, assisted by Mrs. Truman Aldrich. Jr., the Chicago Music News of July 29 says among other things:
 All MT. Stults numbers were done with fine sense of the dramatic values in volved-his differentiation of the various moods was clear cut and convincing and his success with his audience was one to be proud of. MT. Stults' accompanist was Mrs. Truman Aldrich, Jr., from Bir- mingham. Ala. and in this choice he was most fortunate. for rarely indeed is bet ter work heard
 Mrs Aldrich is powerful pianist and has a vitality which is amazing-she therefore. in brilliant passages is superb and in the more dramatic moments, es- pecially such harshly strenuous ones as occur in the Homer piece she is effec- tive in a way beyond all precedent.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-08-11

Not that she Is all strenuosity. however for as matter of fact she has exquisite sense of cantabile and daintiness which she uses with lovely effect-for instance,
 nothing could be clearer or more scholar ly, for that matter than her simple
 playing of the Boat Song" and also of
 "In the Time of Roses (RefchardO,
 which MT. Stults used as an encore.
 For solo group Mrs. Aldrich played the Gluck- Brahms "Gavotte," the E major
 ..Noyelette" of Schumann and 'Le Papil- lion" of Lavallee. using for encore one of the greater of the Mcdowell "Eetudes.''
 "Of the "Gavotte'' nothing but praise
 could possibly be written. This quaint old style seems to suit this pianist to a nicety, and not only were the various voices clearly designated, and the tonal quality velvety pure. but the cantabile or the middle movement was simply liquid sweetness-a very triumph of pianism, when the instrument is taken into con- | sidefHtion The Lavallee bagatelle was | tossed off with much gaiety and reas- onable clarity, considering that 1t was at the close of group played in hall where the temperature must certainly
 have been several degrees above the 100 mark Mrs. Aldrch made one of the most
 pronounced successes remembered in
 months; she certainly is stage figure of much charm and considerable distinc- ton musically, and she will be heard again with keen pleasure.

MEXICAN BANKER
 IS STILL IN JAIL

Mexico City, August 10.-An order of the criminal court has amounted to practically the first proceedings against George E. Ham, president of the United States Banking company, which failed several months ago, was handed down today, when Judge Miriamon ruled that certain securities belonging to Lomas Crump, president of the defunct Fed eral Banking company which had been deposited with the first-named insttu- tion, be restored to Crump.
 Upon the failure of the United States Banking company, the securities were not found among its assets and inves- tigation showed that they had been re- hypothecated with the Bank of Mon treal. The failure of the Federal bank was attributed in part to the inability of Crump to realize on these securi- ties
 The decision of the court in this case is taken by attorneys here to forecast a decision in the case of Ham that the crime, sabuse of confidence, on which charge he is awaiting trial. was com mitted.
 Ham is being held without ball pend ing a final report on the affairs of the United States Banking company.

How Legislature Stands

How the next legislature will stand Is at present very much of a conundrum. While Joe Brown was elected in 1908, his hands were tied as the result of the election at the same time of Hoke Smith legislature. Though, as he has stated, Governor Brown does not believe in the executive dictating to the legisla- tive branch, 1t stands to reason that more of his recommendations would undoubt- edly have gone through if he had had .
