 The registrars of the county are fin ses- sion today and tomorrow so that all who may be entitled to vote in the coming primary and who have not yet registered may have an opportunity to do so. The candidates have worked hard the past few days and a good Monday will prop ably bring out a heavy vote.
 A large audience was out last night to hear the address of Emmet O'Neul, and were well entertained. The O'Neal club of Alabama City attended in a body and helped to fill the house. MT. O'Neal made one of his characteristic speeches and was roundly applauded by those who were in sympathy with his views.
 Despite the adverse reports that have been made regarding the damage. to the fruit crop by the recent cold snap, the chances in this section are pretty good for at least an average crop of peaches, and apples were not hurt at all The first reports from the orchards were to the effect that the crtp had been com pletely destroyed. but after careful ex- animation the owners are now all of the opinion that the real damage is very slight C. w Ewing, who has some 20 GOO trees on Sand mountain, and who was sure that he had suffered a total loss of the crop. now feels assured that he will have all the fruit on his trees that can be matured to advantage. The big peach orchard of Captain Elliott near the city, containing about 100000 trees is in fine condition, and the fruit shows up wonderfully well for this season of the year. So far as the freeze is concerned the captain will have all the peaches he could hope for under the most favorable circumstances. The other growers in this vicinity are all of the same opinion and it seems assured that the orchards of this district will turn out a full yield, and at present the promise Is of crop of exceptionally high quality.

The More the Better.

A shy young man had been calling on
the ''sweetest girl in the world" for
many moons, but being bashful his
suit progressed slowly Finally she de-
cided it was up to her to start some
thing, so the next time he called she
pointed to the rose in the buttonhole OF
his coat and said:
"I'll give you kiss for that rose.
A crimson flush spread over his coun-
tenance, but the exchange was made
after some hesitation on his part. Then
he grabbed his hat and started to leave
the room.
"Why, where are you going?" she
aksed in surprise.
"To the-er florist for more roses" he
called back from the front door.

Prospective Industry

In an experiment to see whether the
famous pipe calabash, which has
proved almost as profitable as diamonds
to its growers in South Africa, will
thrive in Alameda county, E. M. Ritter
has planted quarter OF an acre OF his
ranch with the seed, which he obtained
from the department of agriculture.
The plant produces small gourds, from
which pipes are made that sell as high
as Sl2 apiece These gourd pipes are
the lightest made for their size, are
naturally graceful in shape and color
like meerschaum. They are pronounced
by experts to be delightful smokers.
Until two years ago the Beers OF South
Africa had a. monopoly in raising the
plant
The foothills Of Ell Dorado county
should be tested in The production Of
the pipe calabssh, and we hope some
reader of this paper will give 1t a
trial. Ell Dorado Republican.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inaamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube Is i'm
famed you have u rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth

The Forlorn Hope.

Richard lie Galienne was talking
about his quarrel with William Watson
over the latter's poem. "The Woman
With the Serpent's Tongue. This
quarrel, it will be remembered, at one
time threatened to bring the two poets
to blows.
"My quarrel withsWatson, said Mr..
lie Gallienne, concerns the crulety OF
his verses. They are as cruel as the
remarks of old Herkimer.
"To Herkimer. an elderly widower, a
lady who had rejected him said:
''But don't talk of forlorn hope, "
Mr. Herkimer, because have refused
you. There must be other girls in
mind who could make you happy"
"There were, snapped Herkimer-
and asked them. You we're the for

Oldest Piece of Iron.

What is claimed to be the oldest
piece Of iron in the world is on exhi-
bition at the University OF Pennsylvania
as the result of the "Third Eckley B.
Coke Jr. Expedition to Nubia." The
story Of the finding Of this ancient relic,
as well as host Of articles OF immense
archaeological value, is told by DR..
David Randall Mac-Iver, curator of the
Egyptian section Of the archaeological
museum of the university. The iron
is in the form of a spearhead. This
and other relics were found in excava-
tions made in the ancient town OF
Behen, about 80 miles south OF Anibeh.
The iron spearhead was found in a
grave Of the Twelfth dynasty, Of the date
of which scientists are not sure.
Some place it as early as 280O B. c.,
but others at 1000 B. C.

COnstdbles May
Hold Their Jobs.

On account of an omission in the
new primary law providing for the
election of township constableS, grave
doubt has arisen in the minds OF some
lawyers as to whether constables will be
elected this year or not. The consensus
of opinion among the legal fraternity is
that incumbents will hold on to their
officers until the next Legislature
remedies the defects in the present
election law, so far as it relates to the
election OF, township constables.
Be this as it may, however, incum-
bent constables who want to hold their
jobs are taking no chances, but are
going right into the fight with as much
vim as though their reelection were
necessary. For fear that the supreme
court might unravel the skein to their
undoing before election day, self-pro-
lection compels constables to get into
the fight in order to be on the safe side.

Summing up the situation as 1t
stands, it shapes itself this WISE WaN
Incorporation holds out the promise
of sewer for Main street, the grading
OF Main street by a systematic effort,
which has been entirely lacking so far
For these Improvements the property
holders on that street will have pay to
by assessments levied according to
frontage owned. In other words, they
have these things BY paying for them
under Incorporation. They can have
them on the same proposition without
incorporation. Again, incorporation
holds out the promise of public burial
ground under official supervision and
we are willing to admit this is urgent
ly needed.
On the other hand incorporation
along the present lines holds out the
prospect Of new set of officials TO
maintain. And the entire revenue Of
the city will be consumed, outside OF
keeping up such utilities as we now
enjoy, in paying the salaries of the
official establishment and the incl
dental expenses thereunto belonging.

Of Such Things
Dreams Are Made.

Perhaps the best instance OF the in
credibly great amount of material that
may be crowded in a dream OF brief
duration is afforded by the authenticated
case of the man and the vase. The
circumstances were as follows:
The man sat before his fire drowsily
musing. A draught blowing across the
room set large photograph on the
mantle above the fireplace to swaying.
A slender vase stood in front of the
photograph, and the man remembered
wondering, in a mood of whimsical in
difference, whether the picture could
blow forward and send the vase to the
floor.
Finally sudden gust of wind did
topple the photograph, and it struck the
vase. The man remembered having been
curiously relieved in his somnolent state
that at last 1.-THE old thing was going to
fall and be done with it. "
Presently, however. he was in the
midst of complicated business trans
action in mining center couple of
thousand miles away. All the details of
a new and attractive scheme were COM
ing from lips, and.a board Of directors
was listening with grave attention. The
scheme prospered. The mining center
grew to be large city. The man
moved his family west. Bits of the de-
tails of his journey thither came to
mind and even circumstances connected
with the construction of fine house he
had erected were brought vividly before
him.
Finally crash woke him. The vase
had struck the floor He had dreamed
an unlived life covering years, and all
in the time it took the vase, which he
had seen topping before he fell asleep,
to fall 5 feet and break.

Petition for

In the case of Fred Martin on habeas
corpus, recently decided by the supreme
court. The attorneys for the mine owners
filed petition for a rehearing. This is
the case brought to test the eight hour
law as applied to miners, and in which
the court sustained the constitutionality
of the law The case was heard in
banc, and the decision was clear and
specific, covering every point in the
case, with no dissenting opinion, and
when the petition for rehearing was
reached the court very promptly denied
the same. This will no doubt settle the
controversy for while at least. Prop.

The Cap Rock mines, near Silver

reality some day soon.
Oil is reported to having been
struck in we'll which l.. A. Davidson

Six hundred and seventy-nine tons
of ore were milled during one week
at Earnestine mines, Mollogon, fifty
five sacks of high grade concentrates
were produced and 6,926 Troy ounces
Of gold and silver bullion were smelt-
ed. The 11th level west is yielding
some of the richest ore yet discovered
III the district, showing free gold and
native silver in quantity.
Messrs. Fleming and Carr continue
to get the rich silver ore from their
recent strike in the Black Hawk min
ing district on the Chicago claim.
Col. Fleming has some more samples
taken from the rich vein which seem
TO carry even more silver than the
first samples taken. A number of the
pieces of ore when broken in two
nang together by heavy wires of ma
tive silver The ore will run fully
$1,000 to the ton.
At no period in its history has the
Mollogoh district received such intel
lisent and extended development as
ut present. The discovery of new ore
zoles and the proving of known
bodies at greater depths is of weekly
occurrence and it would now seem
that production will be doubled the

Modelling for Children
making Things" in Clay Give Pupils Idea OF
Artistic Beauty and Form.

There are seuptors who make specially of
portrait busts and statuettes OF children and re-
Gently a movement has been started to make
plastic art in the form of small models and fgur-
ines distributed among the public schools, me-
dunn for teaching art.-tic ideals in young
pupils.
Strangely enough. the idea of giving the chill
dred a lump of clay and setting them to making
something themselves seems never to nave oc-
Cured except to few Of school teachers. In
many schools the kindergarten sand box is about
the nearest approach to it, but in some of the
public schools in great cities modelling in clay Is
taught In the primary grades.
Modelling the concrete expression of the sense
of FORM is the beginning of all art.
'The vital Law lying at the root of all that
have ever tried teach" says Ruskin. is the de-
pendence OF all noble design in any kind, on the
sculpture or painting of organic FORM
The appreciation of form Mr. Schneider ar
CUES can never be SO well taught when the
pupil has bit of clay in his hands and that 1t Is
natural is well proved by the desire of every
chilu to mold something out of mud, if no clay Is
to be had The children at the seashore try
their best to build something" though the sand
slips away. So they wet it, and do the best they
can Give any normal child some clay and see
how easily 1t learns to model familiar objects
and how eagerly it amuses itself with this artistic
play 1t is along the pathway of clay that
child can be most easily instructed, being taught
to see exactly and to reproduce more and more
skifully as it gains skill by practice. 1t is ed
ucation of eye and hand at the time. The
Joy of creation is aroused and stimulated and the
powers of production given full play.
If left to its own free will the child is apt to
attempt the complex rather than the simple and
therefore a certain amount of suggestion and
guidance is necessary. To this end entire
series of models have been set as a that
will help to lay the foundation for later artistic
education
