By FRANK V. EVANS

Double Springs, July 3.-(Special. )-If Double Springs. could speak for itself this is about what Double Springs would say:
 My recollectionp.of my existence was many years ago, when from my limpid waters wild deer slipped and quenched their thirst. Near by me was heard the gobble of wild turkeys and many a night the howl of wolves and the bark of foxes haunted me in my innocent re- pose. The first dawn of civilization came when whitesSin hunters came to me for refreshment and pitched theirscamp near by me, and christened me Double Springs; for be it known there are two of me here.
 For years I calmly remained here undisturbed by the woodsman's ax, or the noise of the builders saw and ham, mer, or even the music of the soil blow, or the crack of the horsemans whip. I simply dwelt in calm retreat nestled here among these hills and valleys inspired by nature to be contented and happy. E From the hilltops above me as far as the human eye can reach one beholds vista as charming, grand and gorge ous as Alpine heights and breathed an atmosphere as refreshing. invigorating and life-giving as that afforded by the heights of western Carolina
 Ponce de Leon never found us two in his wanderings and we have never claimed to possess the unasumed qualities of Ponce de Leon's finds. However, an od-timer once said in our hearing that our waters had been ScandaliZed by one of the finest phrenologists In the world and he had pronounced us o. K.
 Some years ago-about a quarter of century perhaps-the surveyors found by measurement that we springs occupied of Winston county, and the people oi the county, thirsting for our waters and eager for a central point at which to hold court, to try folks. to jail folks and to hang folks. voted to abandon the old county site of Houston and come here to do business of that kind and so they built a courthouse and jail here of stone taken from the sides of the hills around us, just as the rib was. taken from the side of Adam, and we have had trouble ever since. People began to flock to Double Springs. The aX and the blow, the saw and the hammer and the trowel got busy and first thing we springs knew there was village built up here which now boasts a population of 3OO and not a negro in the bunch. We have no corporation line, because this is one county site in Alabama that does not claim to be a city, no, not even town but a real village-like those of olden time when Goldsmith wrote the Village Blacksmith In this respect we thank the good Lord that We are not as other hamlets which, because they possess courthouse and jail, dub themselves 'cities.'"

There has been a wonderful revolu- tion in Winston county the past few years In a drive of 20 miles from Haleyvile this writer came through succession of farms rich in cultivation. Corn and cotton is vigorous. The Nttle houses of the people looked clean and COSY Orchards and flower gardens pre-
 scented indications of enlightenment and refinement. Horses and mules are fat and sleeck, and white men-all white men-were at work in the fields. I am told that these are not tenants, but land owners and that they are practically out of debt and prosperous. Most of these fields are new ground, much of it in it's second and third year, which shows progress and development. The hills and valleys are rich in soil, and this climate all that could be desired
 in the way of salubrity The lands are well watered and the woods still heavi- ly timbered. Immigration has not rushed into Winston from far off places of late years, but the baby crop Is prolific and even triplets some times arrive to join the forces of home in- dustry and development in this county.

Wicked Usvrpatien.

The most conspicuous and wick
ed usurpation il the world is the
the Roman Catholic Church It's
system is tyranny out and out.
In place of representing the Lord
Jesus Christ. the Pope usurps His
place. The deliversnces of Coun-
ellis and proclamations of Popes
constitute by it the rule of faith
and practice. It is not the scrip
lures. but the Interpretation Of
the Scriptures by Pope and coun-
oil that obligstes men. By rea-
son of this fact that church ruled
in the Middle Ages with unpsral'
leled depotism. And it is the
same depotism today. How any
man can think for a moment that
Rome can be reformed is strange
to u. That church can be over
thrown, but it can never be re-
formed. Thsre are some good
people in that church, Is there
a Q in other organ izations. But
the system is most certainly wick
cd. Wherever it has domino
ton it has proved itself to b
blighting. A low standard o.
morality aud ignorance among
the people follow always in it,
wake.-Presbyterian Standard.
