Velvet Chaff wheat, that prolific
producer, after being tossed about by
the grain exchanges has this year
been raised as No. 1 Northern At
the time it was first developed it was
not thought to have sufficiently good
milling qualities to entitle it to high
rank. The Minnesota Board of grain
appeals has been making steady tests
of its qualities and have found constant
improvement. Last year it was
raised to No. 2 Northern. The new
ruling went into effect August 7.

Supt. McKinnon, of the Great
Northern, dropped into Morris cou-
pie of weeks ago. and expressed the
willingness of his company to do
their share in certain public work in
which both the railroad company and
the city is interested. He left orders
with the section men to raise the
level of the crossings across the track
to the same grade as the track, and
this week the section crew did this,
and every one who has occasion to
travel across the tracks is thankful
for the change. The superintendent
also made arrangements to supply the
tile necessary to drain out the road
north of the transfer. which has been
kept continually wet by the seepage
from the railroad tank. This action
of the superintendent on behalf of
the railroad company is commendable
as well as being in accordance. with
good business policy. 81 "a t 6 * *

From the Atlanta Constitution. In a letter to Ernest Camp, editor of the Walton lGa) Tribune, Oscar Under wood says "As a loyal democrat my first wish is for our party's success
 The sentiment is entirely typical of the man. Belief in 1t is indicated by every deed in a long period of service in pub lie life. It is further clinched by the details of the splendid leadership that has won him a reputation as the most sue cessfuR party general since the Civil war
 Above all, his desire for party success is shown by his tariff revision attitude to- ward iron and steel, the dominant in- dustres of his home section.
 He might have pleaded protection of the business upon which so many of his constituents depend for a livelihood ana the size of their dividends and either sidetracked iron and steel, or given the schedules the least possible pruning com patible with a showing.
 If either of these temptations occurred to him-whch is doubtful-he swept them aside as subsidiary to party duty. The | first schedules the ways and means com mittee, of which he is chairman, took up were those relating to iron and steel. And when the Underwood iron and steel revision bill was reported to and passed by the House it carried reductions aver | ing 50 per cent.
 l That same high conception of duty nas kept him at Washington making air tight the programme of his party, when he might have accepted scores of invitations to speak in every part of the country in advocacy of his candidacy for the | presidency.
 l Qualities such as these are what lead the independent and impartial New York | Herald to virtually concede New York tu l Underwood He is the one candidate
 who, in his lifetime creed, his practices and personality, expresses every doctrine
 upon which the democracy hopes to win the election. The only embargo raised
 against him is raised by his own people
 and it is the effete embargo of sectional
 ism. Only in the degree that the south repudiates the old superstition that the
 Civil war hars one of its own sons from
 the White House will it wipe out the
 threat of a legacy of political shame to it's children.

Belgian Blocks to Go

The Belgian blocks in First avenue are to be replaced by smoother ma terial. This is the beginning of a considerable reform, and the hope is freely expressed that it will go on un- til all Belgian blocks are banished to alleys or other out of the way places
 A committee of property holders in First avenue will confer with the commissioners in selecting the proper substitute. The era of noise and rough riding in the business district of the city will be ended when the Bel gian blocks are removed, and the de- cree has gone forth that those in First avenue are to be taken up.
 This city has a good record in the matter of pavements, and it should strive to maintain that reputation. The best paved city is always a de- sirable place to live and do business in, and Birmingham is a candidate for first place in that respect.

T visit Cullman frequently but l was never so impressed with Cullman's need of better highways than I was last week. said a Birmingham man.
 'erhe road most frequented is that be- tween the city of Culman and St. Der hard abbey-about mile and three quar- ters. The road was miry all the way and in some spots it was well nigh impossible. met farmers hauling cotton to town and could not imagine how any citizen of Cullman county could vote against q bond issue for the making of good roads. A two horse team can draw only a very light load through mire, and as a matter of course, the wear and tear on teams is quite a serious matter. A well macad- amized road is not only luxury, but it is matter of practical economy.
 "Cullman county is inhabited by indus trious farmers. It is one of the most prosperous counties in the state, but 1t could be twice as prosperous as it is, and land values would be much higher than they are. if it had good roads. Two million dollars spent on road building during the next two years would have the effect of increasing property values at least 50 per cent. A bond issue propo- sitiop in Cullman was voted down some time ago. Surely the next time the question is voted on the good roads cause will win

HE DIDN'T GET ruu sr.r

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
 A Cleveland man had occasion last week to take a long trip of Chicago street car As usual, he found himself in a crowd and was forced to hang on a strap Not being a well man he kept a sharp lookout for chance to sit down.
 Presently two women who had beer. sit ting together arose-and the C1evelander prepared to slip into the seat. There was woman standing beside him. He politely motioned to her to take one of the seats and was about to drop into the other when large man caught him by the shoulder, drew him back, hoarsely whis- pered in his ear, "'Tain't safe-Im her keeper-she's crazy as a loon." and took the seat himself.
 And the poor Clevelander had to swing on the strap until he reached his destina- tion
 He told friend of this adventure and the friend asked him what he thought of the Chicago mans statement

A Init for Underwood

The democratic state convention, whose chief business it was to elect an Underwood delegation to the Balti- more convention, met in Montgomery yesterday and accomplished it's work. Forty y-eight delegates will cast Ala bama's twenty-four votes for Oscar w. Underwood until the democratic standard bearer shall have been chosen.
 No aspirant for the nomination will have a more determined or a more en- thusiastic support than will be given Alabama's distinguished statesman by these Alabama delegates. The dele gation has no second choice and it will go to Baltimore confident that Underwood will head the democratic ticket.
 The unanamity of yesterdays con- vention in support of Oscar Under woods cause can but have a most salutary effect upon the southern states that are yet to select national delegates.
 The resolutions adopted by the con- vention ring true. They embody Jeff fersonian principles and at the same time are progressive enough to meet all modern conditions.
 Clashes that occurred in Montgom- cry were such as often happen in large political bodies, and now that the state convention is thing of the past, all turbulent scenes will be soon forgot. The Alabama democracy was never more united than it is today on national issues and harmony will continue throughout this great presi- dential year.

A REASON FOR HASTE

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Where's an old story about an 1rishman who was painting a fence, and who worked fast so that he might get the job finished before the paint gave out. Our grandfathers laughed at that joke, before our grandfathers bought razors.

PAYS s2ooo FOR LIVE TOOTH

From the Chicago Tribune.
 A sound tooth from another mans jaw yesterday was transplated to the jaw of pr. James II. Ostrander, U wealthy Chi cago optician, who lives at 1030 South Seely street, Washington Heights The doctor paid 5000 for the tooth, and it is expected to live and do good service for him.
 The operation was performed by Dr. Robert Good of Chicago, before the Mich igan State Dental association in Detroit. Owing to the rarity of such an operation the patient was taken to Detroit, where several hundred dentists might profit from the work.
 pr. Good said the tooth was one he had taken from patient about year ago, but it had been kept in good order
 Before her husbands s return Mrs. Os- trander was informed the doctor had paid 5000 for a new tooth. She expressed sur prise.
 q guess it was worth the price if James bought it. though," she said.

Weak Points of the Titanic


 The Carpathia will soon arrive in New York and the story of the loss of the Titanic will be told, so far as the awful story can be told by eye witnesses.
 Naval officers at Washington sug- gest two causes of the disaster. The chief of the federal steamboat inspec- tors says the ship struck the sub merged end of berg, and she 'buckled up." Wedged in a mountain of ice all her compartments quickly filled.
 Other experts in Washington are more specific and less sweeping in their theories. These men say the weak point in the design of the ship was long central passage running from the fire rooms forward to the collision bulkhead The firemen went through this passage to a ladder to their quarters on the upper deck. When the collision occurred, say these theorists, the great rush of water pre- vented the closing of the door in the bulkhead leading to the firerooms, and all power to proceed was thus de- stroyed.
 These theories will soon be tested by the testimony of those who saw much of the manner in which the ship was filled with water and sent to the bottom.
 The life saving equipment of the Titanic will also be investigated. The Olympic, sister boat about as large, carries Is life boats and four rafts, capable all told of accommodating 1171 people. The Olympic can carry three times that number of people. The Titanic had 2180 people on board when she struck the ice, and if she had life boats ready to carry more than half of that number the world will be surprised.
 The Titanic was but S52 feet long, and the Imperator of the Holland American line, now building, is to be SS2 feet long; the Acquitania of the Cunard line is to be sS5 feet long, and an unnamed vessel of the North Ger man-Lloyd is to be 900 feet long. The Titanic was the largest ship afloat, ex- cept the Olympic, each registering 45,O00 gross tons.
 The doomed ship went down be- yond all doubt glorified by the hero- Iism of many men on board who went to their death because the ship was not sufficiently equipped with life boats. No liner goes out fully equip

Shifting Pig Iron Production

The Iron Trade Review presents the percentages of iron production in the various districts of the country. In 1905 Alabama turned out per cent of the country's product, and in 1911 this district contributed 7.2 per cent of the country's aggregate. In other words, Alabama has, despite Mesaba, held it's own. The only states that have done better are Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois. Neither New York nor Gary is making as much iron as Alabama is.
 The Review thinks the lake front will hereafter outrank Alleghany county, Pennsylvania. This will be done by counting together all lake furnaces from Chicago to Buffalo.
 The south, all told, makes just about 10 per cent of the country $ total pig iron production, and in the increased production the wonder is il has been able to do so well. The richer ores of the Lake Superior region have not been available here, but the time is fast coming when Cuban ores of equal value will be smelted in the south

Massachusetts by decisive majority MT. Taft will have not much more than the southern delegates and the delegates elected in New York's bogus primary, and there are no electoral votes for him in either the south CT in New York.
 Watch, therefore, the primary in Massachusetts, one week from next Tuesday, for it probably means the elimination from the pending cam paign of the man who has blocked tariff revision, but who up to two weeks ago seemed to have walk over for the republican nomination.
 But a Roosevelt sweep in Massa- chusetts will not mean the nomination of Roosevelt, the third-termer. He cannot stampede the convention while the steam roller is in working order, and the southern delegates would have to be won over in order to nominate the most audacious politician of the period. It cannot be done.
 A Roosevelt victory in Massa- chusetts on April 30 would simply point to compromise candidate, and his name might be Hughes.

The County. Greatest Need

MT. Robert Jemison.

"The general topic of discussion at the Chamber of Commerce gathering was civic betterment-developme call cula ted to make Birmingham attractive to residents and visitors.
 MT. Jennison stressed the value of good roads; the supreme value of beautiful boulevards. He said the county could better afford to spend money in making fine driveways than on any other ini- provemepts A system of beautiful boule- yards was, he said, even more import ant than the building of new court house. I agreed with him and I think all who heard him applauded his re- marks. We do need a new courthouse and that courthouse should be work of classical art, rather than a skyscraper. But, first of all. should come a system of parks and bouevards extending prac- tically all over Jefferson county.'

No Icebergs on the Southern Route

There is an inclination to condemn the wireless in the case of the Titanic disaster, but it is really too soon to say how much the wireless either on the Titanic or the Carpathia should be blamed.
 There is, however, one thing that is clear and certain, namely, the shorter route across the sea leads at this sea- son of the year to fields of floating ice, many of which are of great size and depth and weight. The southerly route to England is longer, but sure ly in the spring months it is prefera- ble to the route across the banks of New Foundland. A collision with a moving mountain of ice would bring trouble to any ship, and this danger can be avoided by using the southern route to transatlantic points.
 The lessons of this awful disaster remain to be worked out, but even a landsman with half an eye can see that the route that is beset by ice bergs is not the safer and better route in the spring months of the year.
