BUY ROOFING LIKE LIFE
INSURANCE.

When you buy life insurance you
don't care a rap what the policy is
worth when you buy it. You want
to know what it will be worth in
the future. It's the same with roof
ing. 1t doesn't matter what it looks
like when you buy It. The only
matter you are interested in is how
well, and how long it will wear on
your roof.
One incontestable, absolute fact
you know when you buy RUBERorD
RooFTNG, manufactured by The
Standard Paint Co. of New York
it stands up under summer and win
ter weather conditions better than
any other roofing made, and it lasts
longer. The proof of roofing is in
its wear. The proof of RUBERoID
ROOFING Udlue lies in the fact that
roofs which mere rooted SOith Il nine
teen gears ago are still in perfect
condition.
Asphalt is not weather-proof.
The oil which is present in its COM
position dries out and leaves pores
open to rotting moisture. Tin and
iron are not as lasting as they were
of old, cost more than RUBERoID,
need paint, and skilled labor to lay
and repair. The same conditions
apply to shingles, with the further
danger from fire. Tar roofs are
hard to lay. Tar melts and smells
in summer, and when their oil evap-
crates tar roofngs rot.
Other ready roofngs are surfaced
with sand, quartz, mica, and even
road dust. These materials are use
less except to give increased weight,
which helps to deceive you when
buying, but have no value for wear.
RUBERoID RooFING resists heat
and cold and is absolutely water
proof.
Another advantage of RUBER-
Old ROOFING is that it is also
made in permanent

Operators for Rise Are COlSpiratOrS

James A. Patten and his associates
price of contract cotton, and the gov
eminent has caused them to be in
dicted. A New York grand jury did it.
no doubt, gladly, for the indicted are
either western or southern men.
The New York grand jury had not
a word to say about the New York con-
spiracy of last January to depress the
price of cotton, no little of which was
still in the hands of southern farmers.
The line should not be drawn against
western and southern men who desire
to see the price of cotton marked up.
and in favor of Wall street men and
see the price marked down. Fair play
is sadly needed in this business.
Mr.. wickersham is standing nobly
streeters, but what the country needs
most of all is a measure that will
separate, if possible, the crop from
conspirators for a fall. These conspira
tors live, as a rule, in or near Wall
street, and they are in touch with the
New England mills. The government
has decided, however, to punish the
price of the staple. This is not fair
play to fifteen producing states. It
simply goes to show that Wall street
and the New England spinners are big
ger than the farmers of fifteen states.
for the latter are ignored. and so is
fair play in the governmental effort
against the manipulators of cotton.
The country really needs the Scott
anti-futures bill, a bill that Oscar I'm
derwood is doing his best to turn into
law. The hope is that a special rule
will enable the true friends of cotton
growers to push the bill through Con-
gress before the present session is ad-
journed without day.

DiSpenSarieS In Mining Towns

In Jasper and in five mining towns
in Walker county six dispensaries were
conducted three years. The net profits
of the first year are not given by The
Age-Herald's special correspondent, but
in the last two yeafs of their opera-
ton the six dispensaries earned in net
profits s13S.O91l Forty per cent of this
sum was turned over to the public
schools, which became crowded with
pupils who were taught eight or nine
months in the year. There were no
fees of any kind, no popular subscrip-
ton. The schools were free to all
children of school age.
The change to a prohibition that does
not prohibit is indeed a serious one in
the towns of Walker county. Excessive
drinking and inadequate schools have
become features of the six erstwhile
ulSpensdry LOW s VI w oAhci SouitS'
and the people are not In love with the
situation as it stands before them. The
dispensaries in Carbon Hill and Dora
were highly profitable, and they led to
no more drinking than those mining
towns now witness daily without rev.
enue in return.
1t is not strange, therefore, that the
agricultural and mining county of
Walker inclines to a system that does
not increase the evils of drinking, al
though 1t does increase the revenues of
both town and county. AS a practical
proposition the dispensary has vindi-
Gated itself in mining towns and in a
county full of good farmers.
The dispensary is favored by those
who desire better roads and more
schools, and no one is willing to admit
that an honest man cannot be found
in any community to conduct the sale
of LIQUORS made and shipped with the
license of the general government and
interstate commerce.

Cold Water Came By Wireless
named

The wireless took the snap and ginger
out of the Roosevelt reception in New
York when the colonel waited over the
briny deep the statement that he would
spend two months at Oyster Bay, pen in
hand, and that he would have nothing
whatever to say in the immediate fu-
ture about politics. and that all inter-
views are repudiated in advance.
Those who expected the ex-President
to get into the game, especially in New
York state. will be greved, disappointed
and chop-fallen. The idea that he will
utter no word about the Aldrich tariff,
no word about the Pinchot- Ballinger in
cident, no word about the railroad rate
law, or insurgency, or the next House Of
Representatives, or the next governor of
his state, seems Incredible, but so 1t Is

Passenger business Good

John D. Carter, southern freight and
passenger agent for the Santa Fe rail-
road, was in Birmingham last night. Mr.
Carter was here for the purpose of map
ping out an itinerary for several persons
who intend to visit San Francisco or
wherever the big prize fight is to take
place.
Passenger business is very good, in
Decd said Mr.. Carter. but the same
cannot be said of freight business. The
general impression from every part of the
country seems to be that freight business
is very much lighter than this time last
year. We believe, in respect to Birming-
ham, that furnace inactivities of last
month caused some chartage here.
However, the shortage is general and
no one seems to be able to find correct
solution. We expect rapid recovery In
general lines within the next 80 days"
Mr.. Carter returned to Atlantas. last
night.

PHOroGRApHING A PANTHER

From the July Wide World Magazine.
A panther Is not easily killed, and
will often revive with very unpleasant
results as on a certain occasion in the
Deccan. He appeared to be quite dead,
and one of the spectators rushed up
with a camera on a stand to obtain q
picture Of the supreme moment He
got his photograph and. strange to say,
it survived what followed but no sooner
had he taken it than the panther re-
vived. tore himself loose, and went for
the photographer. Somehow the man
escaped, but the camera was sent flying,
and, disconnected by his encounter with
1t. the panther turned and made for the
nearest tree, up which he went as quick
ly as a monkey. Now the tree was
crowded with interested spectators, and
for three or four strenuous seconds Gum
TIL the panther was shoD we enjoyed a
spectacle of natives dropping to earth
with loud thuds like ripe p|ums from
jungle plum tree as the panther ap-
preached them.

Senator Delivers Remarkable Speech

to multiply private wealth."
No matter how much President Taft
declares the Aldrich tariff the best ever

CUSTER

From the New York Sun.
The statue of Gen. George A. Custer
unveiled yesterday at Monroe, Mich, rep
resents him refining up his horse on the
brow of hill, while accommodating dur
ing the Civil war, the target of the
enemys line, which from admiration of
his gallantry withheld its fire. There
was not a more soldierly and attractive
figure on either side in the great war.
From West Point Custer went straight
to the battlefield, and as major general
OF volunteers at % he could say in a
farewell order to the Third division:
During the past six months, though in
most instances confronted by superior
numbers, you have captured from the
enemy in open battle Ill pieces OF artil.

Regarding sentiment

"The old Irondale furnace. the first
built in this district, has long been in
ruins" said a prominent citizen, but
these ruins should remain as landmark.
Unless. however, steps are taken at once
to preserve the ruins it will be too late.
Contractors who recently bought the
ruins are clearing them away in order
to get the large stones for construction
purposes. Some Of our public spirited cti-
zens might look Into the matter and see
IL a sufficient fund could not be raised
with which to purchase the ruins. 1t
would not cost much. Miss Ethel Armes
in her valuable book tells the story OF
the Irondale furnace and presents cut OF
the present ruins.
Sentiment may not appeal to the aver
age man in this high pressure CONNER
cial age, but some of us have this senti-
ment and think it should be fostered
I'll gladly contribute to a fund to save
the ruins of our first furnace"

long run the insurgents will find that
their true home is in the democratic

DAY is DYING

BY George Eliot, 1.-The Spanish Gypsy"
Day is dying! Float, o song.
Down the westward river,
Requiem chanting to the day.
Day, the mighty Giver.
Pierced by shafts of Time he bleeds,
Melted rubies sending
Through the river and the sky,
Earth and heaven blending;
All the long-drawn earthly banks
Up to cloud-land lifting;
Slow between them drifts the swan.
'Twixt two heavens drifting.
Wings half OPEN like flower
Inly deeper flushing,
Neck and breast as virgins pure
Virgin proudly blushing.
Day is dying! Float, o swan,
Down the ruby river;
Follow, song in requiem
To the mighty Giver.
