The New and Old Geology.

In it's early history geology present
ed two schoois-one insisting on a doc
trine of "catastrophes," the other on
a doctrine of uniformity" The for
mer regarded the changes which have
manifestly taken place in u planet
as having occurred at epoehs abruptly.
while the other school, reposing on
the great principle of the invariability
of the laws of nature, insisted that af-
fairs had always gone on in the same
way as they do now. 1t is hardly
necessary to say thai the latter theory
has driven the old theory of catastro-
phe completely from the feld.-New

FIGHTING LIFE'S BATTLE.
OF Things That Must Be Done Tackle
the Hardest First.

the Hardest First.
| know a very successful man who
early in life resolved that no matter
how hard anything might be or how
seemingly impossible for him to do he
would do it if the doing would prove
of value to him, says Orison SWEET
Marden in Success Magazine. He
made this the test and would never
allow his moods or feelings to stand
in the way of his judgment. He
forced himself in the habit of prompt
ly doing everything. no matter how
disagreeable. if it would further his
advancement.
People who consult their moods,
their preferences or their ease never
make a great success in life. 1t is the
man who gets a firm grip on himself
and forces himself to do the thing that
will ultimately be best for him who
succeeds. The man who goes through
life picking out the flowers and avoid
ing the thcrnS in his occupation, al
ways doing the easy thing first and
delaying or putting off altogether II
possible the hard thing, does not de
velop the strength that would enable
him to do hard things when necessity
forces them upon him.
1t is pitilble to see young men LII
zones remaining far below the place
where their ability ought to have car
ri~d them just because they dislike t.
DO disagreeabIe things until compelle'
to. The best way always is to tackl
the hardest things first.

Capt ]. V. Allen, secretary of the Ala

office yesterday after being in Montgom-
cry several days in the interest of the new
mine laws which are to be acted upon
this week.
He said yesterday that he realized with
intense regret that there was opposition
against the bill, and especially so because
the association had endeavored to draft
a new set of laws to protect the work.
men more than ever
Those passages which are objected to
are in most instances in the laws now,
and have been worked under for 10 years
by the miners of Alabama" said Captain
Allen. THE new features of the bill are
drafted from laws held by industrial ex-
perts to be profoundly sound and progress
sive. ! have no desire to discuss the bill
Unfortunately as I think too much has
already been said about it. However, I
have no hesitation in saying that the en-
actrnent will pass, and that It will be
| among the most sensible laws passed by
the lawmakers.
1T is essentially one for the protection
of men and owners. and one that demon
strates the betterment of conditions that
are continually going on here
While We believe this law to be the best
that could be enacted there may be some
reasonable objections to some passages
which may eventually be amended How
ever, those complained of In the past
are now laws and have been in force and

VETERANS WANT
PENSION EXAMINER
CAMP HARDEE SENDS COMMITTEE
TO THE CAPITAL TO WORK FOR
THE BILL TO PROVIDE THE NEW
STATE OFFICE

At the meeting of Camp Hardee yes
terday the following committee was ap-
pointed to go to Montgomery with res
olution offered by Camp Catesby last No
vember whereby the legislature will be
asked to pass bill providing for the ap-
pointment of a state pension examiner:
Dr. B. E. MCGEE, chairman; A. C. Oxford
and T. A. Hamilton.
The resolution comes of belief that
the interest of the deceased comrades
and widows of comrades would be better
conserved by the appointment of a pen
sion examiner, whose duties 1t should be
to canvass the state and make close and
rigid examination al to the former status
and standing of the pensioner. 1t Is
averred that the pension fund OF Alabams
for disabled Confederate veterans is be-
ing materially reduced by pensions which
are allowed to persons who are not en-
titled to receive such.
The srnembers of Camp Hardee held their
regular monthly meeting yesterday aft

Commerce, and there was a large number
