LUCK JUST BEFORE DEATH

l From the Chicago Post. Gamblers superstitions are as numerous and as i'll founded the misbeliefs of any other division. still, to keep them active. one of them comes true every now and then.
 An old one is to the effect that the gambler becomes lucky just before he is going to die.
 Josh Bigeow knew all the games-on the fair grounds the tracks and with the various eontrvances rigged up for mis- ceilaneous entertainment and mischief. He was also supreme at cards, and especial ly al casino. This game has a kind of a Dorcas society ring to it, but it is deep and it's hidden intricacies can be re- vealed by a couple of splendid memo ries
 Six months before the passing of Josh 1 Bigelow he sat in for game at $1 a corner. He won F games in row and from no mean foe. This seemed to be hunch and he played cassino every day for q week, hardly losing game.
 Then he slapped his cards down and said; Boys. I'm going to die.'
 They tried to laugh him out of it, but he was fatalistic. No" said he, q shall cash before long, but in the meantime I'm going to 1 try to roll up a little coin for my chil- l dren. I'll play cassino until l croak, | because that Is the fall of the cards.' l When Bgelow's estate was proved it was found to be all money in the bank l $370S in casino currency. | A committee from the fraternity called on the window to discuss the funeral ar rangements, and two were deputized to
 make them final. They suggested as a
 monument a broken column surmounted | by cross.
 Put two of them there" said the relct
 of Bigelow, I've often heard Josh speak
 about that sort of thing"

The Roads In Bad Condition

''The heavy rains and continued bad weather. covering many weeks, has had very disastrous effect upon the roads and upon some of the so-called good roads of the state and in Jefferson county particularly" said Percy Clark.
 T note that Montgomery county, after an expenditure of much over half mil lion dollars. is in mud on some of the chert roads. They are almost impossible. This emphasizes my proposition that the only good -in-all-weather road, with all kinds of traffic, is the brick paved center, say 12 feet wide with nine feet of chert on each side. This road will last and the cost of its up-keep will be comparatively small. Of course this plan is too costly except for the main highways. In the long run it pays to build for permanency; railroad builders have come to recognize this, as note the well balasted tracks and reinforced concrete for small bridges and cuverts.
 There are critics here in this county who blame the board of revenue for the present condition of the roads. Not so the board is no more to blame for it than those who travel them, and not as much so as those users of the narrow tres on loaded wagons. The board has pursled the same plan as that in use all over the state. That these roads will not stand the severe test of unusual rainfalls and pro longed freezes is proven. What Is needed is to change the plan of building to meet these conditions In so far as Is possible to do so.
 'aI would like to call attention to the policy of the national government sending out theorists to talk to the people on how to build good roads, many of the eX- perts being impractical. Also many Of the so-caled demonstrations of road building are pieces of folly as far as prac- tical road building is concerned"

More Production Per Acre

"The Boys Corn clubs" is move ment that is spreading over the en- tire country. For the first time such clubs are being organized in Ohio, and prizes are hung up, and the champion boy grower is assured of a trip to Washington.
 New land is becoming scarce in Ohio and in states of similar age and settlement, and there can, therefore, be little or no advancement unless the production per acre can be increased. This nations food supply really de- bends upon the principle. involved in the Boys Corn clubs. Comfort and for tune from the soil can come in no other way Every county that takes steps to organize Boys Corn clubs IS laying the foundation for an increased production all around per acre. This is the only road to success. Farming in Ohio is by no means slovenly, and vet it is acknowledged that the culti- vated acre has never been made to produce its maximum. Ohio is waking up to the need of a change.
 What shall we say of Alabama, where the cultivated acre produces, as rule its minimum? There are lO,- COG, ,000 acres in this state under eui- tivation, or rather will be when the weather becomes favorable. The pro duction of these acres could easily be doubled and then doubled again, and then the production per acre would not equal Ohios. Cotton is, of course, eX- cepted. because Ohio cannot grow cot ion

GEORGIA LEADS IN LYNCHINGS

From the Albany (Ga) Herald.
 Georgia leads in many things of which all true Georgians may well be proud, but there is nothing to boast of in the fact that our state led all the other states of the union last year in lynch ings. Last year appears to have been all unusually bad year for lynchings in Georgia, and we are credited with more than twice as many lynchings as were pulled off in any other state during the year.
 The Outlook, the publication made fam ous by pr. Lyman Abbott and Theodore Roosevelt, has published an article on lyr.ehing in which the record of lyhchngs in the different states is given, and in this record Georgia is credited with Fl, while Kentucky, the next highest in the list. shows up only eight.
 The lynching statistics as given by the Outlook are as follows:
 During the past year lynchngs have occurred in IS states, as follows: Ala bame ,, Arkansas 1, Florida :, Georgia 2l, Kentucky S. Louisiana 1, Missouri ?, Mis- sissippi }, Oklahoma 6, Tennessee ,, West Virginia 5, Texas 3, ohio l. Pennsylvania l, Idaho 1, South Carolina 1, Maryland l.
 Some things might be said in seeming extenuation of Georgia's unenviable po- sition in the record of lynchings for last year. but there Is nothing thatscan be said to alter the real significance of the facts. Lynchinss is open defiance of the law. and cannot be defended in any civ ilized community.

Chiua's New Government

The patriotism of Dr. Sun In giving place to Yuan Shi Kai seems to be working excellently. The new Presl- dent acknowledges the supreme power of the national assembly sitting at Ranking. He is to serve as provision al President until the national assem- bly selects a regular President, and he is to obey in all matters the na- tional assembly. He has small chance indeed to become a dittator or man on horseback.
 The installation of Yuan has paci- fled all his followers who were quite numerous in Picking, and it has has tened the payment of the first install ment of loan from an international syndicate of bankers. This syndicate includes men from the United States, Great Britain, France and Germany, and Japan and Russia may participate in the loan. The first installment has enabled China to pay her soldiers, and thus frequent cause of rebellion is removed. The existence of this syndi- cate is pretty good evidence that har mony exists among the powers, and that none of them will attempt to rob China of any of her territory.
 Altogether the new republic is get ting a good start. Conditions are now favorable and all the difficult ob- stacles seem to have been overcome. A world of details will follow, but so long as the President and the na- tional assembly pull together one aft CT another of the internal problems can be adjusted.
 A new system of taxation is to be adopted, and an effort will be made to eliminate provincial graft. It is report ed that Henry Georges single tax plan is to be adopted.

Accommodating Railroad

T have seen many accommodatlnS actS by public service corporations said travelling man, but l think the Chatta- nooea Southern railroad, which runs from Gadsden to Chattanooga, leads the others A bit. A local Film Service Supply com pany used to send package of films 10 Chattanooga every day, so that 1t might get ahead of it's bitter rival in Memphis.
 ',The messenger would leave Birmng- ham daily at a little after o'clock and would arrive in Gadsden about 20 over the Louisville and Nashville road The films could not be shipped before o'clock on release day The Chattanooga South ern train previously left at II o'clock, but the Film Supply company corresponded with the road, which was then in the hands of receivers, and requested that the president hold the train 20 minutes 50 that the messenger might catch the tram and get into Chattanooga about o'clock with the films.
 '"rhe president agreed to do so, and the messenger would catch the train every day. Although he was sometimes 20 min utes late the train would wait. The edre from Chattanooga to Gadsden was just a little over s3 5o, and that certainly in- pressed me as being accommodating

DEWEY FOR UNDERWOOD

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 Admiral George Dewey of Vermont an nounces that Underwood is his choice for President. If Vermont Democrat can accept an Alabamian for the presi- dency why can't Virginia. Georgia, Florida. Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee and the Carolinas accept him?
 If Underwood, by the force of his genius, has so impressed his personality upon the American people as to jump from the ranks of the privates in Con eress to the House leadership. and chal- lenge the admiration of the nation. within a few short years if there is nothing against his integrity, and the qualit, of his intellect is not questioned. why should we hesitate to present him as Q candidate for the presidency?

BEAITlFUL BALTIMORE

Day Allen Wiley, in Norman E. Mack $
 National Monthly.
 The honorable history of Baltimore is brought to mind by the many figures of it's great men carved in stone or moulded in bronze. Cecilius Calvert-Lord Balti- more. the colonial justice and ruler stands in front of the magnificent new courthouse. Squares in the business sec tons also have their historic mementoes, while on the-avenue of Mount Royal as stated, stand notable works of the sculp- tor in groups and single figures, depict ing heroes of the war of 1872 and of the Confederate and Union heroes of the civil war.
 But Baltimore Is not merely attractive to the eye. It has a cheerful atmosphere. It's people are refined, cultivated. hospita- be Home life is it's greatest incentive, and nowhere in America is the home more thought of. This is why the visitor is impressed with the elaborate architecture of the finer houses, richly decorated door yards and gardens. Thanks to the ci- mate in spring, summer and autumn, flowers bloom in profusion, and a tour through the beautiful suburbs shows for al decorations in the many forms that the expert landscape gardener conceives. Roland Park, a suburb city, in size, coy ering hundreds of acres, with it's pie turesque homes set off by natural designs in tree, bush and flower, is one of the show places of this city.

and while we keep those laws we
 should put no bars in the canal.
 The people on the Pacific coast say the transcontinental railroads are pre- pairing to control the steamship busi- ness through the canal, and no bene- it's will come through the opening of the canal except possibly to those who can load tramp steamer. Congress- man Humphrey of Washington says the House committee on merchant ma- rine will within 30 days report free ship bill,' and the railroads will then buy lot of cheap ships to be used in traffic between the two seas. Agree ments will keep rates up. The rail- roads and the foreign steamship lines will work together. The entire Pa cific coast is convinced the canal will bring no benefits to the workaday con- sumer, the average man without pull or an overfull pocket

LABoUCHERE's AMERICAN BLUFF

Among the many anecdotes of Labou- cheres eccentricity now being related is one told by Labby himself to J. Henry Harper, author of the just published book "The House of Harper Some German officials on the frontier were needlessly discourteous in examining La bouchees luggage throwing it all over the platform. Labby insisted that the official should repack for him, with what result may be imagined. Then asking for the telegraph office, the Englsnman wrote out the following message: Prince Bismarck Berlin-I am detained on the frontier by the overbearing treatment of custom house official and cannot dine with you onight.-Labouchere." Profuse apologies were soon forthcoming. his lug gage was quickly gathered together, and u special train was ordered, as he had missed the regular one. When Labouchere was asked If he arrived in time for the dinner. he observed "I had no intention of dining with Bismarck. in fact, 1 had not the pleasure of acquaintance. It was what you Americans call a gigantic bluff.'"
