It has been said that wise man changesh his views, but a fool never. Whether or not this be. true, 1t is certain that those who "know it all" are very unfortunate because their own ignorance keeps them from finding out that there is more to learn. We should count every day lost that does not teach us something and every year that re- cords no new information has been a failure both for us and our fel- bowman with whom we come in contact.

The Clarksville Herad says there is likely to be some difficulty in securing sufficient packages to handle the peach crop of Johnson county. It is estimated that the county will have at least 100000 bushels of Elbertas, besides about 10000 bushels of other varieties. This means over 1000 car loads of peaches, and the railroad will have to get a hustle on to handle crop of such magnitude.

By MYRTLE ALLIES

A systematic and well regulated cam paign for the promulgation of the doc trines of equal suffrage will be con- ducted during the entire week of the state fair; but on the day especially set apart as woman suffrage day the propa- ganda will be energetically carried on all over the grounds, in the suffrage booth and on the grandstand. The com mittee having in charge this department of suffrage work has mapped out every detail; speakers are being secured, sub jects have been chosen for their discus sion and literature is coming in daily for distribution
 Mir. Clement R. Wood has been appoint ed master of ceremonies for equal suf- frage day. The executive committee of the club including Mrs. Solon Jacobs, president; Miss Ethel Armes, first vice president Mrs. w. L. Murdoch, second vice president; Mrs w. N. Wood, third vice president; Mrs. J. D. Frazier, record ing secretary Miss Helen Benners, cor responding secretary, and Mrs. Jack Bow- ron, treasurer. will be in charge of the booth in the woman's building, where it is expected will be the gathering place for all who wish to discuss the suffrage problems or to. be enrolled either as menu bers of the local league or 10 give an expression of sympathy with the cause.
 Besides the men who have agreed to address the people on the various phases of suffrage presently to be mentioned several women will speak. Among those who have promised their services as speakers are MT. George Huddleston, MT Clement R. Wood, Dr. Abercromble, Dr. Samuel Ullman, MT. Fred R. DeWolfe, the Hon. McIane Hilton and Dr. R. M Cum ningham have been invited, but have not yet been heard from. Unless pressure of other duties interferes it is confidently ex- pected that they will speak
 The topics chosen for the speakers dis cussion includes some of the most convinc ing arguments in behalf of equal rights. The full list embodes the following O) Why Alabama Needs Equal Suffrage. % Historical Survey; Political Reasons for Equal Suffrage. (3) Suffrage and Edu- cation. (D Suffrage and the Laborer. 60 Suffrage and the Farm. @ Womans Vote and Clean Politics. C9 Womans Vote and Clean. 60 Equal Suffrage and Economic Necessity. d0) Woman in So- cial Service. dD Suffrage and the Home. O2) Suffrage and Child Labor ~
 The first speaker will be heard at 1:30, addressing the people in the Srandstand from platform. This will later be moved about from place to place on the mid way and the lecturers talking each for 15 minutes will be heard from quarters all over the grounds.
 From this it may be seen that the suf- fragists of Birmingham are people of great determination; and that there are fine executive forces at work to make their day at the State Fair day that will count.
