 The demand for duck for export con- tinues steady and shipments are large. There has been a good business done on percale and prints. Many lines of stand- ard bleached muslins are up Ac yard or at value. Wide sneetings are par ticularly scarce for quick delivery at first hands.
 There Is a more active retail movement in wash fabrics and white goods. The export trade Is expanding steadily and some shipments of importance were az ranged for to be made to China of goods held for months awaiting shipping in- structions or encouragement of finan- cial matters. There has been a steady picking up of ginghams of various kinds and dark lines are being withdrawn from sale because of insufficient dye stuhs. Denims are off the market in several instances and colored duck is not easy to get in quantities.

ErsSine Seay is the name of the sur prise party. How many of you guessed 1t? As you will observe, he has a quiet, determined face and looks like a boy who is used to carrying things to successful conclusion He is a born leader. if I am any judge. He is 15 years old and carries The Age-Herald to residents of Highland avenue, from Twentieth street around to Milner and Crescent
 Erskine has about the most crooked route on The Age-H erald. No, I don't mean the subscribers. l mean the route, or the streets which the route covers Highland avenue owes much of its beauty to the many turns in it's makeup. Erskine is fortunate in that he has no mud. to encounter while carrying The AgeHerald The streets here are good. However, he has to tear himself away from the alluring arms of Morpheus in the early morning hours, which Is just apout as much hard work as one could reasonably ex- peet of a fellow.
 Erskine has not been with The Age Herald as long as some of the "old heads.' but he has made a reputation for thoroughness since taking a route. He rarely misses delivering even one paper and Is as steady as the sun in July. t'fhe sun isn't at all steady these days) It is his intention to become a surgeon when he attains his major fty. I believe he will l believe he will be as good as the best and will make present-day prominents work hard to retain their laurels. It is noble pre- fession and requires earnest applica- tion and years of the hardest kind of study.

He has garden in which is grown nec- essary table delicacies for summer use He has chickens and finds pleasure in caring for them. He Is a baseball fan and plays the game He also plays football and basketball.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Of all the interesting things that you have given your readers, l do not believe there has ever been anything to exceed the write-ups of your carrier force.
 Each morning that Is the first thing look for The article about Madison Gay was just about the sprightliest thing l have perused in a long time. The truth of the business is that I find the news boy articles in a class with Hugh Rob- erts' Early Glimpses of the Legislature. Studying the embryo man Is as interest ing to me as the finished man, and the great value of the series you are running now lies in it's effect on the boys that read The Age-Herald. My boys read these articles with absorbing interest. and one of them declares that when he gets a little older he Is going to get him job carrying papers, learn newspaper work and, when he gets to be a man. write good stuff like MT.

The legislative recess committee on judiciary, while sitting in Anniston, asked every witness who appeared before it, re- sarding his attitude towards equal suf- fra ge."
 This was statement yesterday of J. H. Edmondson, well known business man of Anniston, who was visiting Br- mingham.
 It Is evident he continued, that the committee is endeavorlng to ascertain the extent scope of the equal suffrage senti- ment.
 Another thing that interested me in connection with the work of the judiciary committee was that it's witnesses on jul dicial matters we~ all lawyers. Of course. on legal points, lawyers are better qualified than others to give evsaence. However. they are often biased and ex- press themselves in favor of courts or districts or divisions as each appeals to him from a standpoint of convenience. For instance, I heard Talladega lawyer declare that from a selfish standpoint, he would be willing for the state to con- duct five courts in Talladega. whereas from a conscientious standpoint, he thought that one was enough
 J. A. Wade, state commissioner of agri- culture, passed through Birmingham yes- terday en route to Memphis. There he will meet Mrs. Wade, who, on account of i'll health, has been spending some months in Texas.

 "Diversification is bearing fine fruit in Alabama, and I believe that the time is soon coming when the farmers of this state will raise enough food to feed them selves and the citizens of cities of the state. Then will have come a great day for Alabama
 W. S. Keller of Montgomery, state high way engineer, passed through Birming ham yesterday en route to Tuscaloosa. While here he urged a representative of The Age-Herald to agitate plan for a good roads scouting trip to Chattanooga.
 "The Age-Herald," he said, ''by all means should promote this trip, for The Age-Herald has been so successful in creating good roads sentiment in the past that another victory would be easy.
 We are busy building good roads in Alabama. By summer, the Birmingham to Montgomery highway will have been completed. and about the same time a highway to Decatur out of Birmingham will have been completed provided it be- comes possible for us to make use of the Louisville and Nashville's abandoned right of way. A little push will result, in my opinion, in highway leading from
