SPEND A MONTH HERE.

Messrs. John w. Coombs and Ed
S. Plank, members of the Philadelphia
American League baseball club, who
Sunday defeated the Chicago Cubs for
their fourth victory, thereby winning
the championship of the world, will
spend the month of December as the
guests of their friend, Mr.. Lyman
Pearlstone. Mr.. Pearlstone is an hon.
orary member of the Athletics, and
spends his summer vacation touring
the large cities each season with them
as their guest, and Messrs. Coombs
and Plank are coming south to visit
the Pearlstone home, and to enjoy a
month of fine climate, and duck and
bird shooting.
To John w. Coombs is due the
credit of winning the worlds cham
pionship for the Philadelphia team,
he having pitched three games and
winning all of them. He is also the
leading pitcher of the American
League, having won thirty out of
thirty-nine games this season. He
also holds the worlds record for
pitching fifty-three consecutive in
nings without a score. He is native
of Maine, being graduate of Colby's
College of Waterville, Me-, and he is
a highly educated young man. His
family is one of the most prominent
in the state of Maine, and he himself
is a large property owner in his
native state. He will be remembered
as having visited Mr.. Pearlstone in

Crop Prospects and Business

Hot winds west of the Missouri river did damage to the corn crop to the extent of 22O, 0O0 bushels, but the official esti- mate of the agricultural department at Washington still calls for crop of 2,94o.- o0o, GOO bushels, or 100000 more bushels than the bumper crop of 1906 yielded. The weather since August 1 has been favor able, rain having fallen in the dry dis tricts. A crop of about three billion dol lars may reasonably be expected, all though the risks of early frost sare yet to be encountered. The crop is well ad- vanced, and it will probably reach ma- turity before killing frosts appear next month in the great surplus northwestern states.
 The prospects for a great corn crop in addition to other normal crops acts as a stimulant in general business and finan- cial sentiment. Liquidation has probably run its course in the securities markets, and healthy reaction and readjustment will set in if no disaster occurs to the maturing crops. The markets will turn on the corn and cotton crops that are hastening to maturity this month A three-billion corn crop and a cotton crop exceeding twelve million bales are pos sible, even probable, and general trade will become active as soon as these crops become assured.

 r TETON Sinclair, that bright young
 man of vivid imagination who pie
 O tured the meat-packing establish ments of Chicago as "The Jungle,' and made quite a fortune out of 1t, has evi- dently been feeling his oats. Quite secure in his own fame he is now engaged in the lachrymose joy of pitying those less fortunate. He has come forth with a proposal that some millionaires endow for three years, at an estimated cost of s25,o0O, a system of pensions for prom ising youths who produce either poetry or fiction or prose writing of an in spirational character, and that in each class there shall be one prize of 5000, and two of $500, to be paid annually for five years.
 On the face of it. the proposition Is wider than anything that MT. Sinclair gut forth in ''The Jungle" In the first place, who on earth would be able to select the three youths most deserving of this beneficient charity? In the sec ond place, what lazy literateur would be improved by being endowed for a term of five years? And in the third
 ,lace, what young man of genius wor- thy of being so endowed would be so incompetent as to be unable to earn

PRIVILEGE OF HIS RANK

From the August Lippincott's.
 In the early days of the Philippine in surrection, Captain HIS company had been for some time garrisoning a small town in Mindanao where the social life consisted mainly of evading the festive bolo knife wielded by the little brown brother. Therefore, he seized upon the occasion of his birthday to vary the mo- notony by brewing punch, and invited his two lieutenants to assist in its con sumption. At late hourt the party broke up, and after some maneuvering Captain M. piloted his junior subaltern to his room, where he found the first lieu tenant peacefully sleeping on the floor beneath his bunk. Shaking him violently he reused him at last, and said
 "Get up into your bed"
 The senior subaltern shook his head looked very grave, and answered, indig- nantly:
 NO. sir, No sir! You let the shecond ltenant take upper berth. I'm a first rtenant and l get lower one" and ht peacefully turned his face to the wal again.

G. C. Earnest in Walker County News. The people of Walker county are to be congratulated if they can secure the adoption of a dspensary systenp similar to the one in vogue a few years ago. I am safe from successful con- tradiction in saying that the dispensary system as operated from January 1, 1905 to January 1. 1908, is unques- tionably the best solution in Walker county. It is best from every point of view, moral or financial, and it is to be hoped that the next administration will make a return to such system possible.
 I was located in a certain rural school district during the dispensary regime where they had a first grade teacher eight months in the year with salary of $10O per month. I have no figures at hand now, but am safe in say ing that the same district has not half that sum to expend for a teacher this year.
 The need of education Is too obvious to any moderately observant individual as to merit a defence from me All thoughtful people must recognize the ne- cesity. Yet there are certain moralsts, occupying eminently influential positions, who are piously >oblvious to the possibil- ity of certain practical methods. Then, of course, the politician. with an axe to grind, we will have with us always But, in the end, the people-not the politician, moralist religionist, for these are mere leaders who are kept busy stay
 ing in front-succeed; and of course, they always have their own necessities nearer to heart than any one else.
 The last election shows conclusively that statutory prohibition was not the choice of the people of Alabama; and their nomination of a local option can didate for governor plainly demonstrates their willingness to dispose of the liquor traffic in a manner most propitious to the general welfare of the immediate To- cality. After all, the whiskey question to a great degree, like a great many other public issues. is a local proposition, sub ject to a local idiosyncrasy. So, in order to place the responsibility recumbent upon any regulation of the issue, why not locaize the authority to regulate?
 As to the moral side of the issue, will say that I was in the county before the operation of the dispensary system, dur ing the operation and afterward, and I am positively sure there were fewer brawls caused from drunkenness during the operation of the dispensaries than either before or afterward The different municipal records of such incidents throughout the county will bear me out, am sure.
 Then as whiskey will continue to be shipped into the state and as people will continue to drink it, why not adopt form of regulation that will be more productive of revenue for the rural schools which are so badly in need of such support?

SUICIDES OF CHILDREN
Twenty-nine Youngsters Ended Lives
 in Last Census Year
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
 Following suicides of two young people in our state institutions. the Medical and Surgical Journal points out that child suicides are by no means uncommon. The census of 1900 showed that more of these crimes against self are committed between the ages of 40 and A than at any other period; yet between the ages of : and IA there were 20 suicides in the cen sus year, and between the ages of 15 and 19 the surprising number of 246. In Prus- sia 1152 children took their lives between 1880 and 1903. 'In about 10 per cent of the cases no cause could be found,' and
 n very many instances the causes seemed trivial. Doubtless they did not so appear to the unfortunates. since all that we can learn of these youths warrants the con clusion that half of them were in some respect abnormal-indeed, of 2S4 cases studied by Tulenburg, 29 had pronounced insanity and 5l showed a feebleness of mental constitution. When one has named these significant facts, however one must follow, as the Journal does with the larger truth that "our knowledge of the child's mind is eminently incom- plete." In the interest of justice, as well as charity, we must realize that the life of the child is not necessarily Elysian; that rather childhood is period of in- tense feelings and repressions and often of black misapprehensions and emotions The conditions underlying the painful oc- currences which the newspapers some times have to chronicle are as well worth study, therefore, as any psychopathic problem that could be named.

New Railroad to Selma

"The proposed railroad from Selma through the Cahaba valley coal and
 mineral fields to Birmingham said R. E. L. Neil, editor of the Selma
 Times, who passed through Birming-
 ham last night en route home after the democratic conference at Blount Springs, means more to the Magic City than the average citizen realizes. It
 means giving to Birmingham all the year round navigation to the four quarters of the globe. It means con meeting the vast mineral deposits and multitudinous manufactures of Jones
 valley with the Alabama river at Selma, where an outlet can be had the en- tire year round to tidewater.
 The city council of Selma Monday
 night last granted a franchise over certain streets and also wharfage facil tiles overlooking the Alabama river
 that insures the building of the road
 This road will mean the duplicating upon the banks of the Alabama river
 many steel and ironmakings plants
 owned and conducted in Birmingham
 now that will find necessary the doub I linS OI Lne CdpdClly Ol tHclT SnltT-
 prises. It means giving Birmingham
 railroad through 0 virgin territory
 with every advantage enjoyed by Selma
 and more, owing to the shorter haul.
 It means to Selma the metamorph oss
 of a purely agricultural community into
 a manufacturing center with the
 matchless cotton and corn and alfalfa and hay as never failing support It means within 10 years that Selma
 will be the second city of the state,
 Montgomery and Mobile not excepted. This may sound boastful; it may sound optimistic. but with the trend of all advancement being the utilization of the natural water courses of the coun- try and with Selma cradled by nature and nurtured and reared for a glorious destiny with its natural advantages geographically 1t appeals to me as but a feeble prophecy of the great future In store for the Central City of Ala bama-Selma, the City Beautiful, the City Bountiful. the City of Brilliant
 Prospects"
