Build a New One

In few large and progressive cities
is the Jail situated in the same block
as the courthouse. 1t is not in the
central part of the city but in some
outlying section, and that is the way
it should be in Birmingham.
The present county Jail is kept in
as good condition as possible, but it is
antiquated from sanitary point of
view and there should be new Jail
with the best modern plumbing. The
county authorities could sell the Jail
property on Twenty-first street and
Fourth avenue at price sufficiently
high, no doubt, to pay for site and
the erection of suitable building out
side the business district.
For long time Birmingham had
city Jail adjoining the city hall. 1t was
menace to health and scandal gen.
orally. Today the city has an up-to-
date modern Jail out in suburban
section.
The time will come when Jeffer-
son county will be required to build a
new Jail. Why not start to work on it
now? Central city property would
certainly enhance in value the very
day that the board of revenue an
nounced plans for the new work.
Every now and then someone sug-
gests adding one or two stories to the
old jail. But this, it is safe to say,
will never be seriously considered. A
new Jail outside the city proper would
be approved by public sentiment and
no other scheme should meet with ap-
proval.

THE LESTER
Arthur Guiterman.

By Arthur Guiterman
The planets are bells on his motley
He fees at the stars in their state,
He banters the suns burning hotly--
The Jester whose nickpame is Fate
The lanterns that kindle their rays with
The COMETS are food for his mirth;
But. oh, how he laughs as he plays with
His mad little bauble, the EARTH
He looks on the atonies crowding
The face of our pitiful ball;
His form in the nebulae shrouding.
He chuckles, unnoted of all.
The valorous puppets that chatter
Superbly of Little and Great.
flip of his finger would shatter
The dreams of these Masters Of Fate"
He laughs at their strivings and RACES
And tosses the murmurant sphere
To bowl through the zodiac stages
That measure the groove Ola year.
He laughs as he trips up the maddest
Who scramble for power and place,
But laughs with the bravest and gladdesr.
Fate's comrades, who laugh In his face:
who laugh as they probe in the tester
or folles and hatred and lies,
Who laugh in the face of the Jester
Who tenderly. laughs from the skies,
Who laughs at themselves and theD
troubles
Whatever the beaker they quaff
Who. laughing at Vanity's bubbles.
Forget not to love as they laugh;
Who laugh In the teeth OF disaster
FsYet hope through the darkness ito find
A road past the stars to Master
Of Fate in the yast9ess behind.

The South's Prosperity

The south's cotton crop this year
will bring more than any previous
crop ever grown. One billion dollars
is about what the crop will bring to
the south. Some estimates place it at
more than those figures.
Alabama raises about one-tenth of
the entire southern crop; and corn,
potatoes and minor crops added to cot
ton will bring to this state this year,
according to conservative estimates,
nearly 5000, 100000. The best of it is
that the crops are moving early and
money required for marketing the
crops is already beginning to find it's

The Latin-American Field

Those were excellent and practical
speeches delivered before large au-
dience in the Chamber of Commerce
auditorium Tuesday night-the first
by Managing Director Clarence ].
Owens of the Southern Commercial
congress, and the other by Director
General John Barrett of the Pan
American union.
Now that the Panama canal is near
ing completion enterprising, business
men are turning their minds to the
rev trade that will be developed with
the countries south of us. The canal
will open enormous possibilities, but
as Mr.. Barrett pointed out in his elo-
quent and animating address, this new
trade can only be obtained by intel
ligent, persistent effort.
The Southern Commercial congress
will hold its meeting this year at Mo
bile, October 27-29. President Wood
row Wilson will attend. The chief ex-
ecutive of this country is busy man
all the year round, but he will be par
ticularly pressed by official duties
during the month of October; yet he
has arranged to take three or four
days off for the Commercial con-
gress at Mobile. Director Barrett, aft
er presenting statistics last night
touching the enormous resources and
trade of Latin-America, said:
Before 1 close l urge upon you most
earnestly First, to participate in the
Southern Commercial congress by send
ing a large delegation to that great
gathering at Mobile in the latter part
of Octobers Second, to send a worthy
delegation to the Panama canal on the
excursion following that congress,
planned by DR.. Clarence j. Owens, the
able managing director thereof who
has spoken to you tonight so eloquently
and forcibly. Third, to make sure that
one or two or more of your thoroughly
qualified and responsible men take the
trip also being organized by the South
ern Commercial congress around South
America, going down the west coast
and returning by the east coast.
Through such representatives you will
be able to tell the South Americans
about Birmingham and Alabama, its re-
sources and it's potentialities. In turn
they will come back to you and tell
you what Peru, Chile, Argentina and
Brazil and other countries of South
America have in store for Birmingham
and Alabama, and unless 1 am greatly
mistaken you will rise up and, when
you greet these returning delegates,
call Director Owens and my humble self
blessed for urging, you to this parti-
cipation in the Pan-American excursion
The Birmingham Chamber of Com
merce will send large delegation to
Mobile, and it may be taken for
granted that one or more prominent
business men will join the official ex-
cursion to Panama and around South
America.

WILD HORSES OF CHINCoTEAGuE

In her article on the Island of Chinco-
league. off the eastern coast of vir-
ginia, in Harpers for October Maude
Radford Warren tells of the little wild
horses which have made the island fam
Gus.
When the outside world hears of Chinco-
teagues it is usually on account of the
half wild horses that roam over the
stretches of the island and of Assoteague;
larger than Shetland ponies, who plunge
boldly into the salt water when they
want to swim to some little toothsome
islet of marsh grass. These animals are
supposed to have been cast away on Chin
colleague from some wrecked vessel in
the eighteenth century or perhaps the
seventeenth century, and, in the course
of time, to have degenerated in size.
They came to a good haven, for there
are five different kinds of natural grass
to feed them, and for drink little pools of
slightly brackish water in the sands. Some
of the cIeverest ones make little reservoirs
for themselves by digging with their
hoofs
They belong to a few of the islanders,
who own from one to IS each. Once "a
year in July the horses are rounded ur
in Assoteague and in Chincoteague and
are driven down into the town, where they
are penned and the colts are branded.
Then some OF them are sold to men from
the mainland, who will give as much as
500 to s125 for a stylish horse When
the horses are fed with oats and their
rough coats are properly curried, they
present a very attractive appearance.
They are very strong and long lived; one
old inhabitant boasts of a mare, most
prolific of colts, which lived to be 40
years old and worked almost to the end.

AUTO FASHIONS FOR 1914
H.. ". slauson. in I.eslie.s.

II. ". Slauson, in Leslie's.
! Now. is the time Of the year when many
of the motor car manufacturers begin to
announce their forthcoming "styles''-and
lit is an announcement looked forward
to as eagerly by the automobile owning
and buying public as are any of the de-
scriptions of spring or fall fashions by
womankind But it has been generally
believed that automobile fashions have
become standardized, and that forthcom-
ing models would not exhibit any marked
changes in design, construction or equip
ment. While the modern car has become
standardized. it seems that there is all
ways room for changes and refinement
and the 1914 models show more of these
than ever before. The sloping motor hood
that made it's appearance in a few iso-
lated instances last year, gives evidence
of being generally adopted by many or
the leading manufacturers.
What constitutes the most surprising
trend in design, however is the number of
manufacturers who have announced elec-'
trio gear shifts for 1914. While such cars
VIII be far in the minority, the fact that
number of the well known makers have
Instituted this radical change, shows that
the time of surprises in the automobile
field has not yet passed
There are also a number of two speed
rear axles to be found in the new models,
forward speeds that can thus be obtained
will make the 1914 car more flexible in
and the two direct drives and six or eight
control than ever before.
Quiet as is the running of the modern
motor car. the leading designers have
been striving to obtain absolute and per-
manent silence. With this end in view.
one of the best known of the high priced
cars is to be equipped with a new type
of rear axle. bevel drive. known as the
worm bevel," because of the curved
shape of the teeth. In common with the
Two preceding seasons, 1914 will find an

Some manufacturers who marketed only
''Four's" last year have added six"
to their 1914 line while others who pro-
duced both types in 1913 have concen-
trated their efforts on the Six 1t is
evident that 1914 will mark Improvement
in every phrase of motor car design and
construction.

Time for Paying Taxes

Now is the time to begin paying

taxes until the last hour of the year, so
that we are hard pressed and all day

many of those who put off visit to this
office until the last are the representa-
,tiyes of corporations, who could easily
save themselves the trouble of waiting by
paying now. OF course, there are many
taxpayers who are forced, by financial
reasons, to postpone giving the state the
tribute they must pay sooner or later All
taxes become delinquent after. January /
and a penalty is attached which must be
paid.
Poll taxes are due and payable from
now until February /; after that period
those subject to the tax must wait until
October /, 1914, before they may properly
qualify And the tax is cumulative, so
that if neglected now, both years must
be paid in the next tax receiving period.
