REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 It's safer to be crazy than to, thinl, everybody else is.
 It takes lots of people a lifetime to make up their mind to speak the truth.
 A man can feel so blue over losing a bank note that it won't worry him bit to lose his reputation.
 As soon as a man finds he can never make anything come out the way be wants 1t he becomes an optimist so as not to feel too bad about it.

Let them now redouble their efforts, and as far as possible make every road in the county perfect between now and next summer.
 < * Birmingham is to be congratulated upon the fact that it's citizens with realty and d degree of cash have finally become im- bued with the idea that more hotels and apartment houses are necessary for this ccmrnunity. I am glad to know that two handsome hotels are to be erected in the very near future, and that fully three apartment house, one of which shall he equal to any in this country. are to be builded as soon as proper plans can be prepared
 All this means an era of prosperity for Birmingham, regardless of the fact that this is presidential year.
 The people of Birmingham have no fear of any mistake in national politics. They are going ahead to build up.

Everyboay Talking About underwoo

"Although politicians and the leading New York papers were seriously discuss. ing Underwood as presidential quantity six months ago. he had not attracted the attention of some of the periodicals rn- til recently" said a club man.
 Every paper and every magazine is now paying great deal of attention to the Alabama stateman. He is not sim- ply discussed as one of the leading dem ocrats, but. as a statesman WFio is quite likely to receive the deinocratc noniina- ton for the presidency, In talking with men who spend a good deal of time in New York, I infer that Woodrow Wilson and oscar Underwood are more discussed than any men whose names will be pre- scented to the national democratic con- vention in June. Whether Underwood is ever President or not, it is a big eom- pliment to Alabama to have him the most widely known and the most favor ably known man in the south.''

because of its geographical situation
its strategic Importance could not
be exaggerated. Spoken of repeat
edly by President Taft as the most
convenient port to Panama" within
ready reach of the West Indian
countries, and as safe base of sup
plies, there is no question as to the
Importance of Charleston from ev-

Really the most important lesson
of the demonstration at Charleston
next month will be the proof it will

ment in providing for the improve
ment of that harbor, upon which
something like $40. 100000 has been
expended. and the establishment
there CT one or the greatest anu
most modern of our navy yards. We
should think that the mobilization at
Charleston of fleet of thirteen of
the heaviest ships of war in the
world would silence for all time the
envious comments and downright
misrepresentation of those who for
any reason hold their self-interest
and their prejudices against the de-
velopment of the great port.-New
