Virginia Stirred In

Tn Virginia there is naturally much interest in the statewide prohibition campaign which is now in progress in the Old Dominion said a member of Bir- mingham's Virginia colony
 'l was in Richmond recently and heard great deal of talk but l could not gather whether Virginia was going statewide or whether it would remain in the local option column. I am local optionist, although I am not in favor or saloons except in hotels and in the business districts of very large cities. It would be a great mistake if cities like Richmond and Norfolk were forced to become dry. I read one of MT. Hob- sons speeches the other day delivered in Richmond, and found it not at all convincing. He gave facts about the abuse of liquor, and said many things that were obvious. No one will deny the fact that liquor Is greatly abused. The question is how to regulate it. Since drinking in moderation is not a sin per SC, there will always be men who will indulge. Such being a fact the sys- tenn of high license and regulation in cities is best. The blind tiger has been proved to be a great evil. I have an idea that the voters of Virginia will give majority in favor of local op- tion."

Advertising for Upbuilding

As is known to many the railroad companies have spent vast sums of money in advertising the sections which they traverse and have achieved results of far-reaching good.
 In recent years the railroads of the south have done a great deal of ad- vertising for upbuilding purposes much more than the public generally has been aware of, perhaps. The railroads passing through Alabama have been making excellent records in the matter of exploiting this states rich resources. And this work is now telling.
 The Baltimore Manufacturers Rec ord in it's last number devotes two pages to the "Upbuilding of the Country by Railroad Advertising. The article gives evidence of charac- teristic painstaking, and is illuminat- ing and encouraging in high degree. In 1913 the Louisville and Nashville, with a mileage of 4819, expended $176,315 in upbuilding advertising. The Illinois Central expended $144,- 887; the Seaboard Air Line, $47,914, and the Southern Railway, $211 ,0O7, not including considerable sums expended by certain of it's controlled lines.
 The table presented by the Manu- lecturers Record makes a fine show ing indeed. It includes all the exten- sive railroads. The transportation companies as upbuilders will be more appreciated as time goes on. In the meantime let the people who have been disposed to knock" say a good word for the railroads now and then.

when they may thus be more readily counted
 While such work is by no means compulsory the government will well come any and all reliable assistants and all reports will be accorded due consideration by the agricultural de- pertinent.
 The breeding habits and number of annual progeny of most of the species are already well known by expert au- thorities, and by obtaining the num- Der of pairs of featherd singers the task of approximating the census will not be very difficult one and at the same time will be as correct as the nature of the undertaking re- quires.
 Here is a chance for all to assist. Your early matin vigils will soon re- suit in an interesting and important array of statistics.
 Help count the birds.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Toe yIucb Politics

believe that if President Wilson had been satisfied with getting through two or three important measures at this ses- slon' and had asked Congress to adjourn, bLsiness conditions would be much better tocay than they are," said W. W. Madon of Philadelphia
 T did not vote for MT. Wilson. but I had great respect for him, and was wish Ing him a successful administration The Underwood tariff bill and the banking and currency bill enacted into law were enough for any one session. President Wilson is making the mistake of trying to do too much. He will wear himself out am told that he now looks wan-and will defeat his own object in the end What this country needs is rest from politics
 With mammoth crops in sight we should have fair degree of prosperity this summer, but if the country were only rid of Washington politics we would have solid boom.

inconvenient To reach Marion from
 Uniontown, distance of 20 miles. one
 has to leave Uniontown at o'clock at night, spend the night at Marion Junc- tion or Selma, reaching Marion the fol- lowing morning at o'clock after travelling 70 miles and paying hotel bill, or reach Greensboro at 10 o'clock, making the dis tance 90 miles. From Centreville to Union town or Greensboro, via Marion, Is AZ miles, and to make either of these trips one must go via Selma and Maplesville, about 125 miles, or via Marion Junction, Marion, Greensboro, Akron and Tusca- loosa. a distance of about l50 miles, and consume not less than two days and two nights whatever route is taken.
 To couple up the five towns by taxivab lines a round trip can be made to either point, with Marion as the center, within few hours, or all five places can be reached in a round trip within less than a days time, allowing ample opportunity for the transaction of any minor business al all four points. A schedule could be arranged to make Marion the junction with radiating lines running to Selma, Greensboro, Centreville, Uniontown and even Faunsdale and Demopolis, by which complete business. or social round trip journey could be made in less than day to either point.
 Such an arrangement would put this section. which has been virtually isolated for years, in close touch with the outside world and make us virtually independent of the railroads Insofar as passenger travel is concerned.

The Stock Market

Henry Clews, in his Saturday review, says in part:
 The stock market continues to strug- ditions. In some quarters there is a dis position to attribute the present unsat- isfactory state of business and finance to imaginary or psychological condi- tions. Quite possibly there is exagger- ation in certain quarters for political effect This is a weakness of which both sides are often guilty. The facts are that business Is spotty, and more depressed in some sections and industries than in others.
 During the week there has, how ever, been disposition to take hope full views of the future. It is recognized that many of the unfavorable conditions have been largely discounted, and that the financial situation has been materi- ally strengthened by persistent liquida- tion The present contraction in certain lines of industry, it is felt, cannot con tinue indefinitely. Economy hsI in some cases been pushed to the starvation point. Our railroads must inevitably soon come into the market for rails, equipment and general replenishment. if only to keep their plant up to nec- essary standards and within the lines of sound and safe management Con- traction in the steel trade upon the present scale for any great length of time is impossible. In other lines of in- dustry supplies of merchandise are relatively light but retrenchment has not been so keen in every direction. There is plenty of money awaiting good investment, and not a few sound securities are selling at very attractive prices, considering the returns offered. There is continued marked preference for bonds over stocks. which is of course the result of prevailing distrust. Certainly enlightened public opinion the sober thinking masses are, not in accord with many of the present ex- treme policies assumed at Washington. Business requires time to adjust itself to new laws, the effects of which are yet to be seen We have had an overdose of inquisition and regulation Too much medicine is more likely to strangle than |cure."

BIRMINGHAM SURPRISES

From the New Decatur Advertiser
 It is customary among those who have dropped into Birmingham for a brief visit. and even for those who have remained there several days, to go away thinking of It as a second smutty Pittsburg or a dirty, foul-smelling city. To some extent this is true. Some kinds of business cannot be handled without smudge and grime. But let them take a drive in an automo- bile straight through the heart of the city and up the sides of the hills and ter races, and he will have a change of view, if not change of heart, over magnificent ly paved roads as the automobile (there are no horses or carriages available in these helghts) goes up and up into A sweeter, purer air. where cool breezes are always blowing. We pass from height to height. from cliff to cliff, from park to park and terrace to terrace, all covered with beautiful dwellings, splendid gardens and magnificent grounds. cultivated and planted to the last foot of their capa city. Here are the homes of Oscar Underwood and his father-in-law of MT. Harding, the newly appointed financial mogul of MT Jemison and family, of Rufus N. Rhodes of our own profession, each rivaling the other in comfort and splendor In a very remote degree it is like ascending from the smoke of the inferno to the realms of paradise. Go and make the trip. It will be an instructive experience for those who have not done so.

The seaboard,s Handsome Hook

The freight traffic department of the Seaboard Air Line has just issued a book of about 550 pages. setting forth in terestin gfacts about this popular rail- road There is de luxe edition.
 The Seaboard. like other progressive railroads is spending money for the pur- pose of upbuilding the south" said a member of the Chamber of Commerce. Its book just issued Is singularly beau tiful and attractive. Richmond. Norfolk, Atlanta, Montgomery, Florida points and other cities reached by the Seaboard are handsomely illustrated, but Dir- mingham makes a better showing than any of the others. On page 96 is found a picture, busy scenes in the Birming- nam district. On page 97 appears some Tine street scenes. The aggregation of skyscrapers on page 9S makes splendid impression. and the 25-story building of the Jefferson County Savings bank IS there in all its glory.
 This book is to be widely distributed and 1t is sure to bring good results"

Indiana Win a Cas.

"The other day l was much interested in reading decision handed down by my friend, Justice Pooley of the New York supreme court.' said Charles Sumner.
 It was a very remarkable case. Here is brief report of it:
 A treaty, dated 1797 sanctioned by the Senate and signed by the President. was used successfully by three Seneca Indians yesterday in the supreme court as a de- fense against the charge that they were illegally fishing In Eighteen-Mile creek waters.
 Arrests weer made by deputy game warden. The case came before Justice Pooley on habeas corpus proceedings. Chief Kennedy produced the book contain ing the treaty which gave the Indians perpetual premium rights to fish and hunt in the section of the county where they were taken in custody. Justice Pcoley held that the treaty superseded the state laws. and the Indians were re- leased "

that the court was going to grant adjourn ments just to wait for a missing witness, the counsel was mistaAeh .4- t4.. I..4 J be impanel at once!
 Then the junior counsel, MT. Nicholas, proposed examining the panel of jurors, consisting only of eight members, but he was f1outed and overruled and finally routed altogether. Then the senior coun- sci, MT. Hay, proposed examining the jurors individually but before he could frame the opening question he was rough ly interrupted from the bench. Only cer- tain parts of the pamphlet had been re- cited in the indictment, and these were very mild reading. But, nevertheless, they were clearly within the provision of the sedition act and proof of the author ship was all that was needed to complete the case for the prosecutor. Chase pro- posed to establish this by the testimony of the printers and publishers of the book. These men could not be compelled to an- swer the questions Hay insisted, and it vas in vain that he protested against the injurious and illogical action. But again he was interrupted contradicted, baited and bulied until the whole court reared with infectious laughter.
 Wirt then began to address the jury and to endeavor to take advantage of the prejudice against the sedition law, but as soon he began to argue against the unconstitutionality of the act he was ab- rultly halted and silenced. He replied with repetition of the statement in an- other form. With howl of rage Chase ordered him to his seat and forbade the discussion of the act It was now the batter that was baited, and the judge was in a frenzy of rage. Wirt once more turned to the jury, and quoting the sedi- tion act, calmly proceeded to discuss the forbidden subject. Finally howled down by Chase the junior counsel took up the same line of argument until virtually sm othered with contradictions and inter- rupted from the bench. Then the senior, Hay, continued the attack, and when in- suited, fatly contradicted, and interrupted at every turn, brought the unseemly con test to a terse close by gathering up his pa pers.
 When the judge almost blind with rage saw what was happening, realizing that perhaps he had carried the matter too far, he addressed counsel with surprising def sured that you will not again be inter- rupted by me-
 After two hours verdict of guilty" was recorded. and the prisoner sentenced to nine months Imprisonment, a fine of s20O and required to find sureties for good behavior for the period of two ye@. ..

The Lesson of the Bee

"The secert of flying is the bee" said Thomas A. Edison in talk with Philadelphia newspaper man. "Yes- terday we stopped in glen and l saw bee one inch long, three-eights of an inch thick, with wings one quarter of an inch wide. The body of the bee weighs seven thousand times as much as the wings which propel it. When we can do this then we will be doing something. The secret of the air is that it is as rigid as steel for speed"
 How like the scientist who goes to nature for a striking example of mans incompetencel Could there be a more effective illustration of the aviator's poor attempt at flying than this lit tie lesson of the bee which easily propels through the air body weigh ing seven thousand times as much as its wings? How immeasurably su- > perior the bees mechanism is to the machinery man employs for his flights, which is apt to tumble him on his head the moment he loses con- trol of the steering gear, or is struck by gust of wind It must be remem- bered that the wonderful new stabili- ger for aeroplanes has not been uni versally adopted and air flights are still more or less dangerous, despite the foolhardy exploits of profession birdmen who risk their lives to thrill a crowd.
 If man could use the present type >-of wings, or some other kind of wings of equal area, and carry load weigh ing seven thousands times as much as his wings, without the slightest risk of coming to grief and with wonder full speed and precision, he would in- deed "be doing something"
 Not only the bee, but almost any creature with wings, except perhaps some barnyard fowls and few awk- ward birds, make mans attempt at flying seem ludicrous. The day of ab- solute safety in the air may be reached eventually, but something ap- pears to be radically wrong with most of the heavier-than-air machines at present used for flying. Maybe we haven't hit upon the right idea yet. Our air craft are good enough as far as they go, but they don't go far enough. Perhaps, after all, flying is not altogether mechanical, and since man is unable to grow wings, he must contrive in some other way to equal or at least approximate the perform ance of the bee

Help Count the Birds

If Uncle Sam had been alive during the days of the mythological heroes he would certainly have been another Hercules. That great man of the past was not only removed for his strength but also for his unfailing energy in attempting any difficult task that might be assigned to him and his dogged determination to succeed.
 Having essayed almost every inn aginable undertaking Uncle Sam now proposes to count the birds in the country, and invites all interested folks to lend hand in taking the cen sus.
 Two hundred and fifty special cor respondents of the department of az riculture have been assigned as pro- fessional census takers and they be- gan their work on May 13.
 To each of them has been appor- tioned district of operation in which he is to endeavor to ascertain how many pairs of birds of the different species breed within an area of from forty to sixty acres.
 They are to arise at daybreak and make their observations at an hour when the singing of the birds renders their presence easily detected and
