claims, Of the cats affections for
what should have been her own
brood, biddy hen kidnapped three kit

interest Of the chicks.
Here is the way Louis says it hap

Prosperous Southern Cities.

"The south has been increasing In pop ulation and wealth ever since I can re- member,' said J. c. Amory of Philadel- phia.
 'I made trip through the south in 1885 and visited all the important cities, New Orleans being my objective point. My second trip was 10 years later, and this is my third. I am only passing through Birmingham now, but I have business which will bring me to Ala bama next fall. and then I expect to spend a week or more in this city.
 ''I have given some attention to south ern statistics. and in a general way have kept, in touch with the south. Well, there is no question about the fact that the south has developed more wonder fully since 1900 than in any two decades previous to that time. It can be seen at a glance that Birmingham Is large, handsomely built and busy city. I spent a day in Norfolk and two days in Rich mond recently and was greatly impressed with those two cities. Richmond is a big city now, and Is very elegant and very prosperous.

Alabama Building Material

Senator Frank S. White did a good thing when he took steps to have the government building at Mobile erected of Alabama marble instead of northern stone." said a prominent citizen. Had 1t not been for the senator's alertness and prompt action 1t would have been too late for the architect to have changed his plan so far as exterior material was concerned. Had the build ing at Mobile been erected of any mar ble or stone not of Alabama quarry, one of this states boasted resources would have gotten something of black eye, so to speak, Alabama marble Is used on a large scale in Chicago. New York and other northern cities. The demand for 1t increases every year, and 1t would have been considered strange indeed had Uncle Sam gone outside for marble for a Mobile edifice.
 "Cullman county free stone is to be used In the Sacred Heart hospital to be built at Pensacola. It makes beau- tiful effect as shown on the exterior of the elegant Catholic church at Gull man"

From the Wall Street Journal
 While it has been said that figures do ret lit, but liars may figure" it has generally been conceded that the camera always tells the truth. However, it has ren aimed for the plaintiff in a damage suit against western public utility cor poration to make the allegation that the cancera can be made to lie.
 The plaintiff in the suit had been thrown from a street car and her left arm trcken and rendered useless. When the case came to trial the company put in evidence photograph showing the plain tiff holding her left arm above her head, supporting a pole on which were a num- Der of chickens. The photographs had been taken by claim agent of the com- ptDy who had represented himself as a chicken fancier.
 The plaintiffs attorney at once put in the claim that the photographs had been reversed and the plaintiff, Instead of holding her left arm above her head as shown in the picture, was in reality hold ing up her right arm, the negative having been reversed so as to show false posi- ticn in the photograph. The jury evidently believed the story of manipulation of the photograph. for it found in favor of the plaintiff. The question now is being dis cussed among attorneys if the exhibition of false photographs can be held as per jury.

The Park Concerts

A large crowd assembled in Capitol park last night on the occasion of the second concert of the summer. MemoIi was a little late in beginning the pro- gramme on account of some trouble with the lights. The musicians had to make out with a comparatively dim light. It is hoped that in future the city fathers will see that everything is in readiness when 1t is time for the band to play. There was no light in the park outside of the bandstand and the peanut stand.
 "Memolis concerts In Capitol park are proving as popular this summ CT as they did last said an old citizen. "There was a great crowd Sunday aft ernoon, and there will be large crowds during the week at night when the band plays-Tuesday and Friday. The Music Study club, under whose auspices the concerts are given, appeals for sub- scriptions. I hope there will be many voluntary contributions. If the fund becomes considerably larger the num- Der of concerts now scheduled will be increased"

Victory for Birmingham District

The interstate commerce commls- sion's decision in the Birmingham pig iron rate case to the effect that eX- istinq rates from this district to Louisville, St. Louis, Chicago and Bostofl by rail and water were unreal sonable, will be of large benefit to the furnace companies.
 In 1907 when iron was selling for as much as $16 a ton the railroads ad- yanced the freight rate to Ohio rlVer points. Iron makers could we'll stand She advance at that time, but the un- derstanding was that when iron was selling below $16 the rate should come down. The price of iron began to drop soon after the new rate went into ef- feet, but the railroads found that they could not reduce the freight charge without authority from the commits sion. A case was made up in behalf of the iron companies, and it has been pending for several years.
 The Unreasonable" rate has. con- tributed in measure to the unsatis- factory condition of the Birmingham B iron market during the last year or two. The decision of the interstate commerce commission should have a stimulating effect on the local market. IA good deal of iron has been sold since the first of June, but the price lhas been very low. It has not much more than met the cost of production. But under the new freight rate Bir- lningham iron will find it's way into new fields and the price will move up- ward.
 The decision of the interstate com merce commission will not only mean a large saving to focal iron makers, but when the market is active and the furnaces are making money every business interest in Birmingham is immediately benefited

Passing of George Fred Williams

In view of the extraordinary out bursts of George Fred Williams, American minister to Greece, against the governing powers of Albania, President Wilson could do nothing less than ask for his immediate resigna- tion. We are accustomed to startling performances by our diplomats" abroad, but when they so far forget themselves as to become officious and meddlesome in matters which do not in the least concern them it is time that they should be removed.
 The attack on the ruler of Albania sand his government made by MT. Will liams is one of the most amazing blunders in the annals of diplomacy. That any man thought capable of holding a position as responsible as that of minister to Greece should re- veal such poor judgment is surprising. 1t. proves him lacking in the first quail ity demanded of diplomat. No man in public life can afford to make ill., timed remarks about anybody or any, thing, and still less is he in position to air his opinions indiscriminately when he is member of our diplomatic corps.
 MT. Williams reflections on Albania may have been deserved, but he was certainly not called upon to embar- rass this government by giving them the widest publicity. He seems to be troubled with the American propensity for "butting in" A man of that sort is not going to be very useful in up- holding the dignity and conservatism of the United States abroad.

ooTToN-HoME AND ABROAD

From the Atlanta Constitution.
 The man who thinks the southern half of the United States is to hold forever and unchalleneged monopoly of cotton production for the world, will do well to read the following extract from the Brooklyn Eagle:
 ''The civil war prophecy of India as q real rival of the United. States in cotton pI oduction is approa ching realization. h. da's last crop is over 6,0o0,0O0 bales. Our own production is about 13,500, GOO bales. We have now no monopoly on the cloth ing of the tropics, no monopoly on the raw material for the Manchester mills
 A few weeks ago the Constitution quoted facts and figures from the American Re- view of Reviews, collated by Richard Spill lane, and going to show that already the south is seriously menaced so far as civ ilizston's cotton supply is concerned. The Eagle has simply gotten hold of part of that article. Taken as a whole, Mir Spill lane showed that the south was at pres tnt producing less than 50 per cent of the worlds supply He viewed the great est menace as coming flom China. In that country the natives were devoting the fields outlawed to the opium poppy to the cultivation of cotton and making headway at it.
 India and China are only two of the countries that contribute to the gross sup ply of cotton and collectively threaten the dominion of the southern states. Egypt yields large crop, Russia is a prom ing competitor, and even in South Amer ica the industry is gradually assuming commercial proportions.
 The south can, in spite of this rivalry, still retain it's hold if it eliminates waste in growing and marketing; practices econ omy in production, in obedience to the Doctrine hammered home consistently by the southern agricultural colleges: diver sifies energetically, to the end of lessen- ing the present drain on the proceeds of cotton and develops it's cotton spinning industries at home.
 In other words, Providence has placed in the hands of the south a natural su- premacy in this regal fiber. But ordi- nary business sense must be used in its conservation. If, that rule is accepted the south's cotton priority is safe. If 1t is neglected, the penalty of regaining pri- ority will be a heavy one.

predict the day will come when the United States will get its death rate down to that of New Zealand, which now ranges around 10 per 1000 And they say that all that is needed is public co-opera- tion.
 The reduction of the death rate from 19.6 to 139 per 1000 has meant the saving of lives at the rate of more than half our population fin 50 years. It has meant the saving of lives enough in 10 years to pop uate the two greatest cities of the eoun- try.
 It has, furthermore, added to the life span of the average American more than seven and a half years. The total life activities of 25.0OO, 600 people have been saved to humanity by this life lengthen- ing process. Think of all that the Amer lean people did in the first half century of the national existencel And yet the sum of the years of their lives does not equal the years that have been added to the lives of the present population through the progress of medical science
