With these words r. l.. Gilmore,

The story told by the Greek is that
a dispute arose when Gilmore wanted
to get some whiskey from one of the
bootlegging joints in that vicinity.

THE CHAUTAUQUA MOVEMENT

From the Phlladelpnla Record.
 It was born in Ohio.
 There was camp meeting origin.
 Rev. pr. John H. Vincent inspired it.
 He was of the Methodist Episcopal faith
 He was aided by Lewis Miller, also of Akron.
 Both were very active Sunday school workers.
 A summer resort for Sunday school workers was evolved.
 They felt the need of a vacation place for both work and recreation
 Mir. Miller suggested the utilization of the Methodistic camp meeting idea.
 Presently this Sunday school camp meeting at Fair Point developed many de- partments.
 Lectures were soon being delivered on various subjects, scientific and other wise
 It grew to be a sort of summer uni- versity, really an advanced school of spe- cialists.
 In the early days there was an an nual convocation of two weeks; now it is matter of two months.
 In late years chautauqua assemblies many of them rivaling the parent assem- bly in size and the scope of their work have been established in every section of the country.
 The first week in August will be de- voted to the celebration of the fortiett anniversary of this interesting educa- tional, modern movement.

The Merchants Convention

The second annual meeting of the Alabama Merchants association to be held in Birmingham August 26-27 promises to be largely attended. The wholesale committee of the Chamber of Commerce is receiving information from every part of the state to the effect that plany of the merchants will be accompanied by their wives and that the visitors will remain sev- eral days beyond the convention limit. The Chamber of Commerce is mailing 10000 invitations, but the crowd can not be large enough to overtax Bir- minghams hospitality or the capacity of the programme committee.
 The first meeting of the Merchants association was held last year and it was highly successful, but it was only an experimental affair after all. The very fact, however, that the conven- ton gave so much pleasure to both host and visitors caused the local committee to extend the scope of it, and no effort will be spared to have every mercantile concern in the state represented at this years sessions. The fine crops which have been 
 produced in Alabama this year make prosperous conditions in the small towns. The merchants have probably never known such thrift as they have enjoyed during the last two or three years, and every merchant should be in good humor now, in view of the large volume of money that will soon be in circulation.
 In October the State Fair draws the record breaking crowd of the year The fair grows better and better, anc everybody in Alabama will try this year to get here. October is distinctly the shopping season for our out-of
 town friends. In the meantime Bir,
 mingham will have on it's gala dres.
 on August 26-27, and for many of the
 visitors it will be the preliminary fal
 season for shopping; but the main ob ject which the business men here have
 in mind is to entertain the merchants and their wives and daughters. Hos
 pitality will be the one~great note.

move, after hostilities have ceased, "all mines that can be located" In the case of anchored mines, their loca- tion must be given by the power lay ing them, and each of the belligerents promises to remove all anchored mines in its own waters as soon as possible after peace has been declared.
 The question of mines was deemed momentous one when these regula- tions were passed and it is still of the most vital importance, but nation in the thick of strife is apt to forget or disregard agreements drawn up un- der peaceful auspices. Mines are a tremendous factor in modern warfare and many neutral ships may suffer from these deadly contrivances before the struggle in Europe is ended.

Regarding Cotton Crop

"The most serious proposition that is confronting the south today is the dis position of the cotton crop,' said T. J. Laine of south Alabama.
 sThe closing of the European markets on account of the war has already de- pressed values. The government has taken up the question of storing three to four million bales to be held for next year and will possibly arrive at solution of the problem. But, suppose the war should continue until next spring and much of this years, crop still on hand, it is going to be serious question and the cotton growers may hesitate to plant cotton unless the governmentn agrees to take it again in storage.
 This is where the government will have to exercise great caution for in storing cotton it will have to practically fix the price, and if the government agrees to finance next years crop it may mean an over-producNon, for with fixed price guaranteed by the govern ment every planter in the south might with security devote his entire acreage to the raising of cotton. This would embarrass the south and lay a precedent that might be hurtful in the future. How ever, the matter is in the hands of a special committee of Congress and I be- lieve that the committee will evolve a plan that will take care of this year S crop and safeguard an oversupply in 1Q15 v

The Menace of Mines

The danger to neutral shipping that Ties in submarine mines has already been shown in European waters, where mine laying has been done on an extensive scale since the declara- tion of war. Although the use of mines in naval warfare has been sanctioned by the powers, subject to certain re- strictions which were placed on their employment by The Hague conference of 1907, in the hurry and excitement of actual warfare, such as exists in Europe today, these regulations arc apt to prove a dead letter.
 The convention passed regulations which forbid the laying of "unan- chored automatic contact mines except when they are so constructed as to be- come harmless one hour at most after the person who laid them ceases to control them" The convention also 6rohibits the use of unanchored con- tact mines (which do not become harmless as soon as they have broker loose from their moorings," or tor pcdoes (which do not become harmless , zhen they have missed their mark. , kEach of the powers taking part 1T

Progress in Road Building

Good road days-neXt Friday and Saturday-will not only increase the mileage of improved highways in Ala hama, but the enthusiasm aroused will be of far-reaching benefit. These good road days have become an insti- tuition, and the success of this instltu- tion will accentuate the economic value of the good road movement in every county.
 County road bonds are in eager de- mand Several counties have sold large bond issues this summer; but there are yet many counties which have done comparatively little in road building. There is not a county in the state whose bonds would not sell for par. No expenditure a county makes brings such ready returns as the money used for making high class roads. Farm land values have en- hanced steadily during the last ten years. The progress of agriculture accounts in measure for this en- hancement; but it will be seen that in counties that have done most in the way of road making the increased value of farm acreage is much greater
  than in counties with little or no hard roadway.
 If the able bodied men throughout the state turn out with pick and shovel this week in numbers as great as can reasonably be expected mighty i'm petus will be given the good roads movement.

Peabody College for Teachers

The George Peabody College for
 Teachers at Nashville has published an
 announcement' in pamphlet form of it's first college year, 1914-15. On the inside of the front cover is this state ment "The trained teacher is surely displacing the untrained teacher in the south"
 This college for teachers is the di- rect outgrowth of the entire education al policy of the trustees of the Pea body education fund.- and is the lineal
 successor of Peabody Normal college, founded in 1875.
 George Peabody made his memorable gift to the cause of southern education in 1867. The first trustees which he selected in his letter making the dona- ton included Robert c. Winthrop of Massachusetts, Hamilton Fish of New York, Bishop Charles P McIlvaine of Ohio, Gen. U. S. Grant, Admiral D. G. Farragut. w. c. Rives of Virginia and William M. Evans of New York. The late J. L. M Curry was for many years the general agent for the Peabody fund. The pamphlet published by the George Peabody College for Teachers covers nearly 40 pages and gives full information regarding the scope of the work.

Preparations for Great Battles

irePdrdtlOnS Tor treat battles
 Only little time has elapsed since the nations of Europe became engaged in war, but there has been much play of shot and shell, and many lives have been sacrificed. Big fights, however, are yet to come.
 Observers of international condi- tions are saying that this war had to be; that no matter what episode or incident precipitated it, causes were at work that would have brought on general clash before the end of the present year. Onlookers have had many angle points and there has been disagreement as to the manner in which details would be developed, but there has been a consensus of opinion touching the matter of preparedness.
 It was conceded that Germany was the best prepared nation in the world for war; that Russia, France and England were well prepared-b better prepared than they had even been be- fore. In view of this general prepar- edness, amateur forecasters thought that only a day or two would pass from the time war was declared for decisive battles to be fought; but the anchoring of mines and the laying of battle plans are still going on, and it may be many weeks before epoch making fights occur.
 The international public has got used to waiting. Those who thought war would soon be ended now see that it cannot be hurried and that no mediation will avail until Germany has had a chance to show it's skill in modern warfare and disrl~- its full prowess on the field of carnage.
 Plans are being pushed for mighty battles on land and mighty battles on sea. The armaments of Europe are to be thoroughly tested, and terrible will be the loss of life as result of the testing.
 Every day war bulletins contain in- teresting rumors; but the world is less and less inclined to become excited un- til authentic news of momentous achievement is announced The game of war was always dreadful and this most stupendous of wars will appall humanity beyond measure; but the hope is that before all Europe is blown to pieces President Wilson's tender of good offices will be ac- cepted.

The New ColleCe Year

Indications point to increased en- follment in the colleges of Alabama this fall as compared with the at tendance of last year, which was large As a very considerable percentage of the student body in every college is made up of boys from the farm it follows that agricultural prosperity means increased enrolment, especial ly in those technological institutions where agricultural chemistry has a prominent place in the curriculum. Auburn's enrolment for the new scholastic year will probably reach the 1900 mark.
 The University of Alabama is now splendidly organized for achievement in academic work and in its special schools as well. It grows in popu- larity. Last years student body was much larger than that of the year be- fore, and it is safe to assume that there will be still further increase in 1914-15. And all the colleges will doubtless be able to report substantial gains in attendance.

PROFESSIONAL MEN

From the New York Evening Post
 Governor Tener's classification of base ball players as neither miners, hod-car- riers, nor ditch-diggers. but professional men, is flattering to lawyers, doctors and clergymen, but will hardly be accepted by the players themselves as giving them sufficiently high rating. Professional men include politicians, editors and col lege professors. A Chautauqua lecturer is a professional man. so, we suppose is an inventor or a consulting engineer mere Shakespearean actor would rank himself in the same large class. Sc would novelist, an advertising agent or violin player. To put along with these miscellaneous specimens of human ity a man who can pitch ball in suct way that nobody can hit 1t, or whc can catch ball no matter what its speed or direction. and get paid hand somely for doing 1t, is to ignore funda- mental differences. That so great ar expert as the Pennsylvania governor should have been guilty of the error is astounding. Probably all that he meant was to differentiate ball players from tennis golf or bridge devotees. but he should have come out with the whole truth, regardless of whom it hurt. Base ball playing ia neither an occupation noi 'A profession; 1t is a career.
