 Guy Rencher of Kemper county was the speaker with the prophetic eye.

BiIbo N ill be elected governor of the state of Mis- sissippi, and that Earl Brewer will de- feat John Sharp Williams for the Unital States Senate.
 In this connection 1t is worth while to note that Senator John Hebron, one of the most ardent Vardaman men and most liberal Vardaman packers in the state, Is said to be a candidate for Congress in this, the Eighth district, now repre- scented by Will Collier of Vicksburg

mer Terrace and Helena station is prog ressing rapidly and will be completed in the near future. The residents of that district were somewhat impatient a. cou- pie of weeks ago for the job to be fin ished, and held one or two meetings to effect that end. but no definite action was taken. Since that time the work has gone steadily forward with the result that in a couple of weeks the finishing touches will be added.
 The work in question is modern in every way, furnishing an improvement for the steel city that any city might be proud of. The work began more than a year ago and the contract called for the completion in June. The streets have been badly torn up during that time but the excellent condition they are in now serves to make the people feel that any inconvenience caused in the past by the work has been offset by the improve ment for the town.

ALL BIRMINGHAM DAY b|G SUCCESS Great Crowd Attends Big Picnic at East Lake
 Park

The much anticipated day of pleasure the outing that has been the talk of Birmingham for several weeks-was East Lake park. and the management, in the midst of rgratulations. de- clared 22,O0O people were. on the grounds during the day and night.
 It was a picnic that will be long remembered by pleasure-lovng Bir- mingham, and those who journeyed out to the park were well repaid by an outing of real comfortable enjoyment.
 The events scheduled were pulled off, and all were a huge success The baby show was magnificent affair and filled with entries, composed of little darlings, all dressed in silks and rib bons. their faces adorned with dimple1 smiles. The first prize given in class A was awarded to Mary Gnatt darl- ing tot who could barely lisp the Thank you, sir" but her blue eyes flashed the appreciation for being se- lected as the most beautiful of the 100 children in line. In class G the prize was awarded to Lucien Walker, and 1t can be truthfully said that the boy was a sturdy, handsome child.
 The prize in class C was awarded to little Bernard Spiro, who was another happy selection. All the children were pretty indeed and the judges were not envied for the job they had.
 Immediately after the baby show the egg hunt took place. Such a scrambling, scurrying mass of humanity, all ca ager to secure the little cartoons which rep resented the eggs. No hiding place was overlooked by the tots and soon each child had an armful. extracting the numbers. and in a twnkling the man ager's office was besieged by the army of juveniles, all anxious to be the first to secure the prizes.
 Other events were celebrated durin g the day. Swimming contests, running, sack and potato races were run, for which valuable awards were given.
 Manager Murphy was the happiest man in Birmingham Yesterday His smile broadened as each car lined mp in front of the gate loaded to the guards with pleasure seeking human ity. The smile enveloped his entire countenance when, at night, the big play lot was inadequate to hold the number of people present. He made many promises, and each was carefully carried out. What he said he would do he did, and should the tireless amuse- ment worker ever vouchsafe to give an- other holiday even better crowds are assured.

LETTERS TO ERITOR
Anaesthetic Simpson
,e Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 l My attention has only now been di
 rected to a letter signed o. D. Street,
 of Guntersville, this state, and dated July 27 last. How I came to overlook | it is a puzzle; but if Street will per init me to do so this tardily, l wish to | thank him for his very interesting
 memorandum concerning the sugical
 use of the anaesthetic, sulphuric ether, | by southern practitioner.
 l Referring to my article entitled, An
 aesthetic Simpson," Mr. Street com plains that I do not fall far short of crediting the first use of this drug to
 Ia European and really claims it for New Englander Had I been discussing
 the actual history of anaesthetics l
 should have acknowledged that "sul-
 phuric ether" is misnomer; that the value of ether has been known since
 the thirteenth century; that 1t was used l for the relief of spasmodic affections
 of respiration" as early as 1795 by Dr.
 Pearson; that Farady in 1918 knew that
 ether vapor could produce insensibility
 that Drs. Codwin dS22), Mitch all | QS32), Jackson QS33). Wood and Bache l GSSD, all proved the fact practically
 Had l desired to go into all these de- | tails should have found it necessary | to add that Dr. Crawford w. Long ac- tually removed tumor in 1872 while the patient was anaesthetized by ether
 yapor, and should have lamented thai pr. Long did not at once publish his l discovety, or rather his practical re-
 suits, and so was not properly cred | ited as he so honorably deserved l Hence it happened that general knowi-
 edge of the use of ether did emanate l from Boston, not even from a doctors but from a dentists office, and the op- | eratiOn which actually arrested the at tention of the scientific world was. as | stated, In my article, performed in Mas | sachusetts general hospital in Boston, 1 October 16 1S46, a date misprinted I 1886 in that article. If Jefferson Ga l in 1S42 had been as well known Tn | the European world as Boston Was, no doubt ore Longs epochal discovery would have been made known to his honor without the dispute to which Mir. Street refers. But If MT. Street will read my words once more he will find | that I was tracing anaesthetics in cases of obstetrics, not attempting what lie calls "the history of sulphuric ether as q general anaesthetic in surgical op- l crations." It is pleasant to find MT.
 Street careful for the scientific credit of the profession in these southern states but the last desire in the world | for me is to write a word which dis torts the truth in the interest of any section, nation or man. I was not writ l ing an encyclopedic article. am not a l physician. do not try to carry needless dates in my memory use my reference books when 1 think there is good cause, and am profoundly grateful 10 any man who will give me useful facts. Greatly lregrettng both misprints and delay, respectfully, GEORGE EAVES. Birmingham, August 9, 1911.
