Roosevelt and Taft

There seems to be prevailing opinion in this part of the country in that Roose- welt will poll a larger popular vote than Taft, but 1t is a safe bet that it will be the other way" said an old repubi can. Roosevelt has been drawing large crowds, but we have seen in the past that the big crowd at public rally does not always mean big vote for the can didate who draws the crowd.
 President Taft will get the great bulk of the republicans, but this element will number less then one-fourth of the nort maj party strength. Few of the demo- crats will vote for Roosevelt.
 Wilson will. in my opinion, receive a larger vote than Bryan ever did, and in the pivotal states he will, believe. draw enough independent republicans to give him a majority in the electoral college. .

Washington, D. C.. is the most beauti. ful city in the United States" said l.. A. stubblefield. proprietor of the Florence hotel.
 "I took three weeks vacation and spent it in the nations capital. where formerly lived. Washington was a beautiful city when I first remember. but it is improving all the while and is now as beautiful as any one could dream. The government appropriates large sums for beautifying the city and all the money is expended judiciously. In. no city on this continent can the visitor see so much without cost that delights and educates as will be seen in Washington

Mineral Property in Demand

'I read with interest an editorial in The Age-Herald the other day in which was pointed out the enhanced value of mineral properties in Alabama," said a prominent man who has been success full in the industrial field here.
 Tt stands to reason that with the rapidly increasing consumption of the output of coal mines and iron and steel furnaces that the raw material would be of more commercial value than 1t was Is or 20 years ago. While the greater part of choice mineral property in this state is owned by going con- cerns there Is yet some good property on the market and few small tracts of very high class property. Fortunes have been made by buying coal and ore lands at small figures anud selling them at a fine profit few years later.
 Eight or nine years ago a friend of mine paid about s5oO00 for some coal acreage in the Birmingham district and sold it a year on two afterwards for something like s300,000. Speculative investors are now looking into ore and coal lands in Alabama with a view of buying them and forgetting about them; believing that in 10 years the selling price will be four or five times what they are quoted at today

joyed recounting to the younger gen.
Iteration many interesting tales of the

in 1924, had taken him to the polls and
allowed him to drop in his ballot for
the noted statesman. He also remem-
bered seeing Halley's comet in 1886, and
told how the people were terrified at
ats appearance.
