 When Schneider had his mechanicians trundle his biplane out of the hangar into the infield a curious crowd assembled around him, for he had already become a marked man from his narrow escape on Friday, when he came down on the race track and sustained Injuries to his machine as well as to himself.

Legislation Deemed Necessary


 Should the call for the extra session be issued, several items would be in- cluded. The first. of course, would be the necessity of framing laws strong enough to prevent the Louisville and Nashville railroad from increasing It's freight and passenger rates to higher figure than those charged by competing railroads The revenue bill would again be laid on the dissecting table, and sec ton s6F. that which applies the fran chise tax of per cent levied against COT porations to the license tax demanded by municipalities. would probably be stricken.
 w. O. Mulkey of Geneva and other members of the legislature are couplain- ing that the system of taxation in Ala bama Is unjust in that real estate in some counties Is not taxed as highly as real estate in other counties. This matter would also bo included in thf. call. MT. Mulkey. who was leader in the last ses- sion, declares that real estate in Baldwin should be taxed as highly as real estatae in Jefferson. Should ths change be made. the entire system would be revolutions l ized.
 The depleted condition of the treasury would probably be remedied by annull- ! ing a portion of the appropriations made by the legislature in the session of 1911. l Since the recent convention held in Montgomery, judging from public opinion. | the primary system of nominating cam ddates for office will endure for many | years to come.
 | On account of the expense of primaries, there was recently displayed a tendency on the part of democrats to return to | the old convention system. The arsL- mont then was that the convention would permit a poor man to run for office; and that in primaries as well as conventions the politicians held the whip hand. When the state committee met in Birmingham some months ago some of the leaders of that body declared openly in favor of a return to the convention plan. | But opinion has veered. In the conven- ton of last week the situation was con- ,roled by a small coterie of less than half dozen politicians and the developments were mapped according to the personal desires of those men.
 | For that reason it is generally agreed | that the primaries will be retained for many years, at any rate, and that in the future even the innocent conventions, such as when held two years ago, and
 last week, will be eliminated.

SESSION MAY BECOME NECESSARY Some of the Signs Which
 Point That Way RATE ISSUE Is FACTOR Revenue Bill, Including the Franchise Tax, Would Be Placed on Grid
 iron-Change in Taxa
 ton Methods
RATE ISSUE IS FACTOR

Recent developments make it appear certain that there will be an extraor- dipary session of the legislature in tho late summer or early autumn and that there will be no more conventions of Alabama democrats
 Practically the sole obstacle which could prevent the calling together of tho lawmakers would be the ruling of the supreme court of the United States In favor of the state of Alabama in the rate cases. Were that lewiston to prove contrary to the decision of Judge Thomas G. Jones, the depleted treasury. the al- legged necessity of making changes in the revenue bill. and the alleged inequalities in the system of taxation in vogue might not be considered of sufficient importance to warrant an extraordinary session of the legislature.
 Governor O'Neal has repeatedly assert ed that if he can possibly avoid it there will be no extraordinary session during his administration. With the resolution of the democrats passed in the recent convention staring him in the face, how ever, there is hardly doubt but that the extraordinary session will be called unless the rate cases are won by the state before the supreme court of the ua ton.

A bridge at Ferry Pass will mean that the roads
from the north end of the county will be built to Milton
and from thence to the bridge and the great bulk trade
which would otherwise be taken Atmore will be left
at Milton.
People from the north end of Santa Rosa who want
to to Pensacola will be served we'll, better by

The Man and
His Calling.

A handsome marble shaft has been
raised to the memory of prominent
Englishman. bearing this inscription:
Here Lies a Great Grocer" 1t is
probably the best that could be said
of him. 1t is something. But it Is
not enough.
The man had disappeared in his
calling. A mans vocation often swal-
lows him, completely overwhelms him
and there is nothing left of him fol-
any purpose outside his occupation.
It is a contemplate estimate of q
vocation to regard it as merely a
means Of getting a living. The mar
who is not greater than his calling
who does not overtop his vocation. 50
that the manhood runs over on al
sides, is sadly deficient as a man.
a man should be greater than the
business he builds up, greater thar
any speech he makes or book ht
writes. than any house he builds Oh
any sermon-he breaches.
