During the whole of June the mag nificent evening star, Venus, runs rap 1 idly eastward, climbing higher in the heavens and growing ever brighter each night So rapid is it's eastward Cancer and well into the Sickle all most reaching the bright star Regulus. It has not yet reached the crescent phase, but will be seen in small telescope to be very little more than half full; i. does not become an exact half circle until July 5. It Is now so directly approaching the earth that 1t is growing noticeably larger. During tbe month it's diameter will increase sone-third in size and by autumn the planet will appear nearly four times as large as at present. It will then, however only be visible as a very mar row crescent.
 The brilliant Jupiter is now almost ex- shining out little to the right of the Balances and to the left of Spica. It is now moving slowly westward into Vir- go, but on July ? Its westward motion
 will cease, and it will then begin to move eastward again. On the night of
 June the moon will be seen to pass be- low and quite near to the planet, the center of the moon passing exactly south of the center of Jupiter at six minutes past midnight (Eastern Standard Time). | Even when nearest, the two bodies will seem to us to be separated by a dis l itance one and one-half times as great

Stevenson Fails of Election Though Heartily
 IndOrsed

Centre, May 27.-(special.)-Th county school board met here today to recom- mend to the state board teachers for the County High school for the next school year. Many patrons of the school and citizens of the community appeared be- fore the board and with earnestness and vigor advocated the reelection of Prof. l.. M. Stevenson, who has so successfully conducted the school since its first open ing and although no voice was raised against him he was rejected by a majority of the board and R. L. Marchman of DadeviIle was elected in his place.
 There is so much refret over the action oi the board that there will be an appeal made for a re-hearing before the state board. The following young ladies were elected first, second and third assistants in the order named: Miss Lurline Nc Laurine of Union Springs. Miss Lucille w Bradford and Miss Eunice DeJernett oi this place.

great cloud of stars of which our sun is a part, and that it Is therefore difficult for us to form right conception of the true distribution in space of the multI- tude of suns around us. F or example, the brilliant Dog Star, Sirius, and five of the stars in the Great Bear form one little family and are all drifting through space together. Similarly, there are about one hundred stars which are drift ing along with our own sun at a speed of about eleven miles a second. In the Bull a similar flock of 39 stars has been found, and very recently seven, widely separated stars, of which Antares is one, have been shown to be moving through space to- gether.
 It is a most interesting fact that in many cases stars which are in a similar condition are found associated together. The most extreme examples Of this are the densely packed clusters, a large pro. portion of whose stars are variable, And 1t is most remarkable that the var fables of a given cluster are similar to each other. Thus each variable may

The very last of the winter constella- tons has now nearly left the evening sky. This is the group called the Twins, whose two bright stars. Castor and Pol lux, shine out very near the ground in the west but which each evening sink little lower and before the month has passed will withdraw from the evening heavens, not to reaper until next November Meanwhile, in the east, there has appeared the wonderful summer branch of the Milky Way lying along whose golden stream are the beautiful Cassiopoea, the Northern Cross and the Eagle. As the weeks go by this will rise ever higher, but not until next Septem- Der will it span the evening heavens with an arch exactly overhead.
 The bright stars in the south are now the bluish Spica. or Ear of Wheat, in the very long, faint group of the Virgin,

swarm-and yet they are so infi- nitely far apart from one another that collisions betN cen them can almost never occur. It is estimated that the average distance between any two stars is at least 10 light years. It used to be said that each star Is moving quite independently of every other star, but we now know that this is not strictly true. In certain regions of the uni verse which are of utterly inconceiv- able extent, but which yet are as nothing when compared with the en- tire. visible universe itself, great clouds of material must once have been drift ing along as a whole and the stars into which this material at least de- veloped are now drifting together. The study of the true structure and motions of our universe will doubtless occupy the minds of astronomers for many centuries to come.

 Seeing Venus in the Daytime

Seelng venus In the Daytlme Our evening star is now so very bright that it can readily be seen with
 the naked eye in full daylight, or even
 exactly at noon, and this observation will be still more easily possible all | through the summer until the planet attains It's greatest brightness on Au- gust 10. It is necessity, however, to
 know exactly in what part of the bright sky the planet will be found, and for
 this purpose it's true direction from the
 observer must be found by the sun or by a star.
 On June the planet is exactly as
 high in the sky as the sun, and 1t fol- lows it by three hours and eight min utes. That Is, if we look at the sun at
 any hour during this day, and then
 wait for three hours and eight minutes,
 the planet at the expiration of this time will be seen at exactly the same place
 in the sky that the sun occupied at first. If, therefore, at any time dur ing the day the reader will go out of doors and place himself in such a po- sition that the disc of the sun Is at
 the corner of some distant roof, or at the extreme top of a telegraph pole or other object Cor which Observation he will require a smoked. or dark glass),
 and if three hours and eight minutes later he will again place himself in ex-
 actly the same position, he will see the planet shining out at the roof corner or
 other place where the sun was before On June 1 the planet follows the sun by three hours and four minutes, and it is two degrees north of the sun, so that it must be looked for at a dis tance above the first position of the
 sun equal to four times the distance
 across the sun's disc. On June 12 Venus follows the sun three hours and 10 minutes, and 1t Is then two degrees south of the sun. From these figures the reader can readily find the planet at any time during the first two weeks of the month. When observing 1t the di- rect light of the sun must be screened | from the eyes, especially if the sun is l high in the sky at the time.

as the distance across the moons disc. But if we could walk southward, over the earth we would see our nearby sat- elite apparently rising higher and high CT in the sky, and we would be able to look continually farther under it's lower edge, until, when he had reached lati- tude of 22 degrees below the equator, we would see Its upper edge just graze the planet. Observers between this latitude and the south pole may see the most in- teresting sight of an occulation of Jupiter by the moon. Though we are too far north to witness this, yet the figure formed by the two bright bodies so near together in the sky will be most beautiful and striking. In similar manner our moon passes the brilliant Venus on June 29, but as the nearest approach then oc- CUTS at seven minutes past noon, it can- not well be seen by observers in this hemisphere.
 Mercury reaches It's greatest distance west of the sun on June l, and may be seen for a few days before and after this time shining out near the ground in

flash out with four or five times its or dinary light at regular intervals of a few hours, although they do not all brighten at the same time nor are their periods exactly equal But the very great similarity in their variation makes 1t nearly certain that the separate suns of each wonderfully great aggregation are very similar to each other.
 Surrounding us in every dir ection there is the wonderful universe of hun dreds of millions of suns, of which our own sun is small and inconspicu- ous member. All of these suns are drifting through space with high ve- locities in every direction--like bees in

 Oj[ ITS STREETS Commercial Travellers Ad- jOurn After Electing
 Grand Counselor

Anniston, May 27.-(Special.) )-The city council has taken up the matter of oiling the principal streets of the city in dead earnest and has passed resolutions to the effect that the work will be done at once and the property owners will have to stand the expense. The reasons given for this procedure are that the crude oil will not only keep down the dust but that the oil will destroy disease germs that are car ried in the dust.
 The action of the council In taking up the project actively is in line with the suggestion recently made by Col. w. H. McKleroy, who proposed that the property owners on the principal avenues of the city take up the ques- tion of oiling the streets and do the work as soon as possible.
 The resolution of the council pro- vides that certain sections of the prin- cipal streets and avenues shall be treat ed with oil and to this end the city engineer is instructed to prepare full de- tails, specifications and estimates of the work With cost of same to be filed with the city clerk
 June 23 is the date set by the coun- ell for public hearing of any com plaints or objections by property own CTS to the proposed plans.
 The United Commercial Travellers fin- ished up the business of their convention this morning and adjourned. The follow ing officers were elected for the ensuing year: George M. Plaisance of Birming- ham, grand counselor; Joseph Stevens of Anniston, junior counselor Tom Boone, Jr., of Mobile, grand secretary; A. Jax Davis of Birmingham, grand treasurer; J. R. Oglesby of Montgomery, grand conductor, Dr. E. B. Wright of Florence, grand page; W. L. Wall of Huntsville, grand sentinel; executive committee for two years: J. c. Griffin of Mobile, C. M Woodruff of Anniston; delegates to su- preme council W. w. Jenks of Mobile George M. Plaisance of Birmingham al ternates: J. c. Jones of Huntsville, c. M Tardy of Birmingham.
 Selma has extended an invitation to the travelling men to hold the 1912 convention in that citys and the executive committee will no doubt select that city.

What is 'Hobson's Choice?''
 Now-at the present time?
 Even his enemies will admit that the "hero of the Merrimac' Is one of the liv- est figures in American public life. He Is one of the best known men in the United States. It is very probable that more peo- pie have seen him than have looked into the face of Col. Theodore Roosevelt or William J. Bryan. He Is popular every where, though it is admitted that he has his enemies. What man has not?
 He has. three virtues that are unques- toned and that throw around him sav- ing grace that redeem many of the mis- takes that he may have made. He is morally clean, honest in his every pur- pose and he is clearly consistent
 These virtues may prevert him from every becoming President of the United States but they will secure and hold
 Here are some of his faults: He is ann bilious, he once allowed a number of worshiping women to kiss him in public and seemed to like it, he is sus- picious of the "yaller jacket of the far east, is a prohibitionist and wears his haid parted wide in the imddle.
 You cannot blame him for his ambition. He was born in Alabama. (And, by the way, that was fl years ago)
 Every masculine voter in America has explained the kissing picnic in his own mind to his entire satisfaction.
 His aversion to the yellow peril is per sonal hobby perhaps We all have them But Captain Hobson knows the Jap and the Chinese as well or better than any other American perhaps. He has dined with thme, played with them and worked with them. The average voter has not Many of his colleagues In Congress have not. Captain Hobson worked thousand Chinese coolies at one time in naval work in the South seas. He says the rice and opium eating "buggers'' can stand any they are quick to adopt civilization, tha they are alert to surprising degree and are fanatical fighters. | He declared to me over dish of friet chicken at the Musgrove house in Win field one night that when the yellow man wakes up, and he will wake up som' day, there will be trouble among the ma tions" Captain Hobson believes that. H. | is honest and sincere and since he know' more about the yellow man in minute than I know in my two-fifths of a cen tury am willing to concede his superior wisdom.
 | He is a prohibitionist. Well. yes, bu no one questions his sincerity. On ont occasion when Marion county water wal served him at a country hotel he exam ined the liquid suspiciously before ht
 would taste 1t. It showed its color 1T the cup" and he passed it to govern ment expert who was present for exam
 ination before he dared to sip it. Tha | is the kind of prohibitionist Captain Hob
 son is and then some more. Once in 2
 political debate in his district he wa. goaded to using bad word" The incl
 dent or evident slip went through thu press of the country like luscious F'iftl

 disgraceful act to this day.

 that his hair Is parted wide in the middle If he had any hair he would part 1t lik

Cool Comfortable Kitchen
 In Boiling Hot Weather
Gas Water Heater

Cleanliness is said to be next to godliness among the virtues and hot water IS a necessity as we'll as luxury i'll cleanliness
 We are selling now a gas water heater for $13 where a gas stove is already installed and $15 where there is no gas stove.
 This little heater will furnish un- limited water at boiling point for a very small cost, and 1t works day and night, always ready for service. It is more economical than building a fire in the stove to heat tank of Water-and 1t works long hours after the kitchen tank has gone to sleep, and many hours before the kitchen tank wakes up in the morning.
