LEGISLATION FOR PROFIT

1t is amazing and amusing that
in this nation of intelligent and
well-read people there should be a
moments discussion as to the
cause of the high cost of living
The cause is self-evident. 1t may
be seen at first glance by sane
observer. To state 1t in three
words, it is legislation for profit
passing laws to make business
pay larger dividends.
For twenty-five years business
has haunted the corridors of the
capitol at Washington, and of the
capitols of the various states, seek
ing legislation which would in
crease its profits. The govern
ment has been turned into ma.
chine for helping business men
get rich. Laws do not create
value, they only transfer it. Every
dollar which las been put into one
mans pocket by Legislation has
been taken out of some other
mans pocket. Every dollar that
has been added to the profits Of
any business has reduced the pro.
fits of some other business; every
dollar by which legislation has en-
riched one man has made some
other man poorer. Every privil-
eye in price-raising given to one,
adds to the cost Of living of all
others; and all the tariffs, financial
legislation, railroad legislation,
and most Of the other legislation
Of the last quarter Of a century
has simply dealt out privileges in
price-raising.
How can the cost Of living help
being high under these conditions
Why need the government inter.
fere in business at all? Why come
between man and man, taking from
one and giving to another? Who
can find the least justification for
the passing Of laws to help any
man or class Of men to increase
their profits when TO do 80 must
inevitably raise the cost of living
for all the rest OF us?-Life.

D. A. R. INVITED TO ATTEND GOOD ROADS CONVENTION

The Daughters of the American Revo- lution will very probably be represented at the National Good Roads congress on May 23 to 26, according to MT. J. A. Roun- tree, the secretary of the organization. Mr. Rountree, in behalf of this body, has mailed to Mrs. Rhett Goode of Mobile. the state regent of the D. A. R.'s, let ter explaining the nature of the confer ence and extending an invitation to ner and to other delegates. The daughters are much interested this year in restor- ing a number of historical highways throughout Alabama and the United States, so their attendance will be very appropriate
 The letter mailed by MT. Rountree to Mrs. Goode on April is as follows:
 "The fourth National Good Roads con- gress will meet in Birmingham on May g to 2e, 1911. This congress will be com posed of delegates from every state in the union. Invitations have been extend- ed to many different bodies and among that number Is to the women's organiza- tions. I am instructed by the executive committee to extend an invitation to you and to request you tp appoint 12 delegates

do?' Nancy inquired with the curiosity of scandal monger.
 Poor Jack" What did he do?' echoed Peggy.
 "Yes. what did he do?' demanded Nancy.
 Made himself so miserable over the situation that he nearly dled" was the reply. with all his diplomacy and cum ring, he has never been able to adjust matters and the result is that the two people in the world whom he loves bet ter than any other, and who love him best, hate each other with hatred as im- plaeable as ever their love could be-"
 Isn't it strange that people can't be like the agebraic axion-- things that are equal to the same thing, are equal to each other Why can't people who love the same person love each other?" Nan cy asked reflectively.
 "Yes," replied Peggy. You know what the French say that the friends of my friends are my friends But that doesn't hold good when the principle roles are played by a mans wife and her mother in-law."
 "The real tragedy of the situation is" Peggy concluded, her story, that if any very terrible thing were to happen to JaclI-lil1e dying-those two women would be drawn closer together than any other two people in the whole, wide world. Isn't it a pity that while the poor man IS living they can't throw few bouquets at him and make him happy, instead of saving all the flowers for him until he is iead?"

PRAYED FOR WOMAN
 WHOM SHE KILLED

Fort Worth, Tex, April 6.-Testify- ing again that she had set aside an hour each day to pray that Mrs. Bin- ford, the saleswoman whom she after ward killed, might become a better woman, Mrs. T. M. Brooks concluded the presentation of evidence for the de- fense in her trial today on the charge of murdering Mrs. Binford.
 She said she had prayed for Mrs Bin = ford for years. She testified that she locked her husbands pistol in a closet for fear she would commit suicide with 1t.
 This was the pistol she used to shoot Mrs. Binford.
 The killing occurred in January, Mrs. Brooks going to the store where Mrs. Binford worked. Mrs Brooks claimed that Mrs. Binford had alienated her husbands affections.

brothers. She, of course, had been used to being spoiled and petted. Mrs. Lar son was up in the air when she found that her only boy was to be married But she acted very nicely under the circum- stances, and all went merry until the bride and groom returned from their honey moon trip. Jacks mother (being a widow) had to live with them, and the two women confronted situation that was fearful. Each was jealous, even to the most casual look that Jack gave either of them. Poor thing. He'd come home in the eevning and find both of them on the front porch waiting for him. They'd be rocking and talking as merri- ly as you please, but in each heart ranked a terrible thought-whch one he'd kiss first. Now, Jack being just a plain everyday, ordinary man, couldn't by any sort of miracle kiss both of them first"

SUMTER STOCK FARM IS
 BOUND TO BE A SUCCESS
By WALTER HARPER.

Tn company with Editor l.. R. Hill of county, visited one of the most interest," ing stock farms in middle Alabama. It Is situated about two miles of Geiger and is one of the best situated farms for the business I have seen in the state.
 It is known as the Preston stock farm and is backed by a number of the large planters and business men of this section. F. A. Gilbert is manager.
 Though bad luck of peculiar persistence has followed the fortunes of this enter prise since it was launched about three years ago, the manager or promoters are not in the least discouraged and are determined to make a success of the in- dustry.
 Shortly after the enterprise was well started some of the finest Berkshire hogs on the farm became exposed to cholera at enc of the fairs to which they were car ried for exhibition. Before the herd could be inoculated with serum the majority of them died.
 Last winter, just as the farm was about to recover from this first calamity, the large barn with all the hay, corn and other feedstuff that had been grown on the farm for winter feeding was destroyed by fire. This was most discouraging but it did not daunt the courageous men who are determined to build up one of the finest and best choice breed stock farms fin the state.
 Manager Gilbert is building a handsome residence for himself and family on the farm. It was about complete when saw it a few weeks ago. and is credit to the community.
 < On the farm I saw fine grade Shortnorn cattle, Southdown sheep, Berkshire hogs and many of the best strains of chickens. The Berkshire pigs are as fine and sleek as moles. The aristocracy of blood fairiy shines through their glossy coats.
 7. The man who appreciates quality cannot but admire every bird and animal on this farm.
 The sheep are of special interest. "rhe farmers of Alabama do not appreciate the value of raising sheep" said Manager Gilbert. ''It takes but little trouble and expense to raise them, and then there Is always ready market for spring lambs at fancy prices. This climate and all other conditions are we'll adapted to them and the industry should receive more attention than is now given 1t. It Is easier to raise fine bred sheep as 1t Is with any other animals, than it is to raise inferior animals. When farmer Buys stock of any kind he should buy the very best. It always pays and pays well in the long run"

Isn't it queer," asked Peggy the other day, "the way the average mother feels about her son getting married? That no girl on the face of the earth would be good enough for him?"
 'I hadn't made any special observation on the subject" replied Nancy.
 My son is my son until he gets a wife," quoted Peggy gaily. But a daughter is a daughter all her life, even after she marries."
 'I am not so sure about that" returned Nancy. 'The daughter-in-law of daugh- ters-ln-law, to my mind, was Ruth. What would have become of Naomi if it hadn't t been for her? What if Ruth had depart ed from following after her?'
 That's subject for the preachers to sermonize about" replied Peggy" in one
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-04-07

of their firstly, secondly, thirdly ant fourthly sermons" '-,t.ts-
 My own humble opinion is,' said Nan cy, That she was an angel"
 But, in turn" replied Peggy, 'Naom played the good mother to Ruth until the end. She'd never have landed Boaz if she hadn't needed her mother-in-law's suggestions"
 And that story goes to prove" replied Nancy, that 1t pays for women to stick together. To help each other. No man can ever help woman as another woman can. I think the friendship be- tween these two women is one of the most beautiful idyls in the Bible. It's prettier than any love story Have ever read.'
 Well, I'm not so sure, after all though" suggested Peggy, ''that Naomi didn't consider it gross selfishness for her son to marry-to leave her for wife
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-04-07

But maybe she came to appreciate Ruth after she got into the fanily-when she came to know her. Not before. And don't you think if more modern daugh- ters-in-law would set about to win the affection of their mothers-in-law, that there'd be more happy homes?'
 Yes" l guess you are right" replied Nancy, dubiously.
 There's Polly Prim, for instance" Peggy went on "who married that nice Jack Larson. I wish you could their home life. Jack was an only son and''--
 'Ye godsr' exclaimed Nancy. Ut re- quired nerve to marry him.
 "Of course, like all only sons, he was the idol of his mothers heart" Peggy re- lated. Polly was the only girl in a large family of boys-I believe there were six

every heavy rain, can maintain good l firm road through his plantation Through a little cooperation of all the farmers along a leading thoroughfare a l good public road may be maintained to the market town.
 | The necessary implement for this eco-
 homie but effective work is the 'split-log drag" Any man with ordinary me- chanical ability can make it. You sim | ply split a log and connect the two | halves by crossbeams about two feet apart. They should stand on edge and at | a slight angle. Two mules dragging this I implement over the roads after rain l rounds them up, makes thorough drainage l possible and renders the surface firm and

 dragged" roads leading out of Livingston a few days ago. They are a revelation. They are round, smooth and as firm as | the best macadamized roads of Jefferson
