VIRTUE

BY George Herbert d59S-1633).
Sweet day, so cool, SO calm, so bright,
The bridal of the earth and sky
The dew shall weep thy fall tonight;
For thou must die.
Sweet rose, whose hue angry and brave,
Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye;
Thy root is ever in its grave,
And thou must die.
Sweet spring, full OF sweet days ano
roses
A box where sweets compacted lie;
My music shows ye have your closes,
And al must die
Only a sweet and virtuous soul
Like seasoned TIMBER, never gives;
But, though the whole world turn to coal
Then chiefly lies.

The Iron Market

THE local iron market is somewhat
stronger than it was last week, said
Horace Hammand of the Hammond Byrd
company.
Quotations have been unchanged for
several weeks. After the large buying
movement of last year there was natural

An Opflmistic Proeressive

'I have been voter since 1892, but

V. Totten of Chicago.

Tick Eradication in Sumter


1t is difficult to see how the cattle
of Alabama can be rendered tick proof
if a county in the rich central black
belt refuses to become part of the
movement. Sumter county does, it is
true, lie on the Mississippi line, but
it is surrounded by Pickens, Hale,
Greene and Marengo, in the states
most productive section.
In such a county it is possible to
carry local option in tick eradication
too far. Were Sumter as isolated as
Baldwin county is the case would be
different. Situated as Sumter is it has
no moral right to adopt policy that
nullifies different policy in the sur
rounding counties. If Pickens, Hale,
Greene and Marengo desire tick Grad
ication Sumter lacks the moral right
of veto. Sumter should, in other
words, keep step with the surround
ing counties and with the general
ambition of the state to become a cat
tie grazing and producing section of
the country. This ambition cannot be
gratified while the tick remains in the
state. Tick eradication is feasible and
possible, and it certainly is desirable.
1t would greatly increase Alabama's s
agricultural wealth and possibilities.
and the good people of Sumter should
take broad view of the subject.

THE ARTISTIC LIE.

There is pleasure in the wet, wet clay
When the artists hand is potting it.
There is pleasure in the wet wet lay,
When the poets pad is blotting it,
There is pleasure in the shine of your pic
ture on the line
At the Royal Academy.
But the pleasure felt in these is as chalk
to Cheddar cheese
When it comes to well made. lie,
To a quiet unwrecaable lie,
To a most impeecable liel
To a water-tight, fireproof, angle-iron,
sunk-hinge, time lock, steel-faced lie!
Not private hanson lie,
But a pair-and-brougham lie;
Not little place at roorfng, but a coun-
try house with shooting
And a ring-fence, deer park lie.
-Rudyard Kipling.
