Forest Fires

Great and very destructive
forest fires are raging in the
Northwest. Vast reaches of inn
portant and very valuable timber
land have already been burned
over. Much valuable property
has gone up in flames, many lives
lost and still the progress of the
fires in the main are unchecked.
Towns and cities are menaced,
bands of fire-fighters are surroun
ed and in danger of destruction.
The number of those who have
lost their lives cannot be estima-
ted, but it is feared that it will
be large. Many of the fires are
believed to be Of ineendiary or
lgin, and the troops have been
called out to help hunt down the
m%iscreants who r guilty.

The Corn

The prospects for this years
corn crop are improving every
day. Many fields will grow a big
yield. There are some fields,
especially those planted very
early, in which the corn had adj
yanced too far to profit much by
the rain. But most fields will
bear a far bigger yield than the
most sangium expectations of
their owners dared hope for.

FIRST NEW BALE
 FOR MERIDIAN

Meridian, Miss, August 1S-(Special.) ) This morning the first new bale of cotton for the season of 1el0-11 reached Meridian and was auctioned off before the board of trade th1s after noon. The bale weighed 42S pounds, and was bought by Threefoot Bros. & Co.,, after spirited bidding, for IS cents per pound. The new cotton was raised by J. N. Mason, who resides near Shu- buta, and was shipped by the s. Il. Floyd Mercantile company of Shubuta to Threefoot Bros. & Co.,, of this city. Capt. John Ferrall acted as the auc- tioneer and started the ball rolling at IT cents. The bidding was between Newburger & Levy, Threefoot Bros, E. H. & E. l.. Carter and McCants Cotton company finally being sold to the high est bidder, Threefoot Bros. & Co.,, for IS cents.

In the state of Washington the schools,
 in 1908. were kept 169 days; in California, 1S1; in Montana, ITO; in Illinois, III; M1chl- gan, 169; Wisconsin, 16S Iowa, 170. In the Philippine islands the public schools are kept 200 days during the year. It is a sad commentary on the people of Alabama that their children have S7 days less schooling every year than the children of the Philippine islands. In New Zea-
 land the children have 157 days, and in Porto Rico they have 165 days, 52 more than the children of Alabama.
 Is it Square deal" to ask the chill dren of Alabama, who have only 113.3 days schooling every year, to equal in in- telligence and enterprise the children of Minnesota, who get 145 days, the children of Nebraska who get 173 days. with more books and better books, more desks and better desks, more houses and better houses, to say nothing of the children of the more progressive states where they have greater opportunities~than are pro- vided in the aforementioned states? The plain facts are too humiliating for com ment by way of comparison with the op- portunities in our fnsuar possessions. But speaking of Porto Rico. an incident of recent occurrence is deserving attention at this point.

Henry Bramlette Gray of Birmingham, lieutenant governor of Alabama and pres ident of the Peoples Savings Bank and Trust company, was the first society edi- tor of the south.
 He introduced this very important oe- partment in daily newspapers while an employe of the Atlanta Capitol, little more than 25 years ago. After few months service as society and dramatic editor of the Capitol he transferred his services to the Atlanta Constitution. He carried his society and dramatic depart ments with him to the other paper.
 The society department so far as the south is concerned, is entirely due to the genius of the present lieutenant governor of Alabama. The Capitol was new and struggling paper in Atlanta and to get it introduced into the homes of the people MT Gray. one of the youngest employees, hit upon the idea of devoting one depart ment to the social doings of the women of the town. The venture was popular from the beginning and has spread to ev- cry self-respecting paper in the country.
 Mir Gray to this day has kindly feel ing for the society department and 1t is said never fails to read every line on the society page of every paper that comes to his office.
 MT. Gray was born on his fathers farm near Calhoun. Ga., February 8, 1867. This was a Friday, but the discouraging fact which would have planted irreparabe despair in the heart of a less hardy youth, had no effect on the future of Henry Gray.
 The principal products of Calhoun coun- ty, Ga. are wheat and peaches. The peach industry Is comparatively new, the people having discovered that the vicini- ty was adapted to thr curtue after MT Gray's birth.
 When Henry was ten years of age the family moved to Atlanta, where he en- tered the. city public schools. He went from the public schools into the newspa- per office of the Capitol and the Constitu- ton, where he completed his education He was with the Capitol only a few months when he went with the other pa per. He was r years of age when he went to work.
 His early ambition was to becomes a To- comotive engineer.
 August 1, 1887, MT. Gray came to Bir. mingham as assistant business manager of the Herald. w. D. Jelks was business manager of the Herald at the time. MT Gray helped in getting out the first copy of that paper. He remained with tho Herald until some time after the consli dation became The Age-Herald.
 In 1892 he retired from active newspa per work and engaged in the banking business, which by the way is mos remarkable turn for a newspaper mans career to take.
 Mr. Gray has always taken live in terest in politics, which may be taken fol granted when it is known that he is g native of Georgia. But MT. Gray declares

that he is not in politics so much for the loaves and fishes as for the sport.
 Tt is the only sport in the world that I am particularly interested in," said MT Gray yesterday. But I can saX that l have never been beaten in the game have never been defeated for any office that I went in to win. I have at times been persuaded by friends or my better judgment not to play a certain game, but if I accepted hand in the deal I all ways won.
 Tt is one of the greatest sports in the world"
 MT. Gray has served as alderman of Birmingham has been a member of the Board of Education, and was county treasurer for four years. He Is vestryman and treasurer for St. Mary -on-th High lands.
 Four years ago he was elected lieuten- ant governor of Alabama. He was prom inentl ymentioned at one time for gov ernor In the coming election, but for some reason best known to himself he passed the deal.
 He will serve as governor during the absence of Governor Conner for a period of one month in September and will prob ably be satisfied with this taste of public distinction as the first man of the state. Mir Gray is a good friend, liberal in his views and progressive in business.
