Training Camp

Much interest is being taken in the proposed training camp to be held in Chattanooga in the spring said Capt J. T. Evans, land many business men have signified their intention of joining the encampment
 This, in my opinion, will prove of great benefit to the military organi zations of the district, for it will un- doubtedly arouse greater interest in military affairs.
 For several years the commanders of the local companies have had much difficulty in keeping their companies recruited up to full strength and there has been a deplorable lack of interest in the past of the citizens generally in the welfare of the National Guard.
 However, with the approaching en- campniert and a widespread interest in national preparedness, I look for big revival in military matters and that the National Guard will come to its own

Less Cotton and More Grain

As planting time approaches the farmers in Alabama are preparing for an increase in crop diversification.
 There was large gain in foodstuff production last year over any pre- vious year, and especially in corn pro duction. The diversification campaign of 1915 was great educational factor in Alabama's agricultural life. The boil weevil wrought havoc in the black belt last season, and if it had not been for the large corn and forage crops harvested and the live stock raised Alabama would be in extremely poor condition at the present time.
 In the infested counties the pest will be as prevalent next summer as it was last, and in the northern part of the state, where the weevil had not got much of start, it will be in wide evidence this year.
 The decreased acreage in cotton in 1915 was due to low prices. It was an economic policy that had it's effect. This year the acreage will be still further decreased, but not because of price. The reduction will be traceable to the boil weevil menace and the scarcity and high price of fertilizer.
 Cotton will probably be selling for IA or 15 cents during the coming spring, and IS or 20 cents before sum- mer. The farmer will be tempted, therefore, to plant more cotton, but for two reasons-lack of fertilizer and the weevil pest-he must desist. It will be so at least in several of the cotton states.
 The crop made in 1915 totaled less than 100000 bales. From today's indications it will not much more than reach the 1O,00O,000 mark
 Let the farmers go ahead and plant more corn and fatten more hogs, cat tie and poultry and they will not miss cotton Alabama produced 70,000,000 bushels of corn last year, as com pared with 54,000, ,0OO bushels in 1914, which was the best previous record. One hundred million bushels will not be too much to expect of Alabama this year, and the farmers will be in the humor for planning and planting for this increased volume. With a 1O0O, ,0O, ,000-bushel crop and other food crops in proportion, Alabama can get along well with 9OO,OO0 or 1,OOO,0O bales of cotton, instead of 1,600,000 or 1,700,0 ,0O0-bale crop.

 ZOLA'S HYMN TO LABOR

From Labor, by Emile Zola.
 Is not the universe an immense work shop in which no man can be idle, in which the very least of us are doing our part in mighty work, in which the machine goes on and turns out what it has made and is creating in cessantly, whether it be simple fermen- tations or things that are Of the utmost perfection? The fields ripe with har- vest have been at work; forests are at work when the trees put forth their foliage; oceans, as they roll their waves from one continent to another, work and worlds, borne by the rhythm of their gravitation through infinite space, are at work. There is not one being, not one thing in all the universe, that can be idle. Everything is impelled to work. is put to work. and is forced to do it's part in the work common to all. Whatever does not do it's work at once disappears, and is rejected as useless and superfluous. It must give place to what will work--to some worker who is indispensable.
 And how admirably can work regulate things; what order it creates wherever it reigns, It Is peace and joy, as well as health I am amazed when I see il despised, belittled, looked upon as a shame or as a punishment There is no such thing as happiness unless we place it in the united hap piness of perpetual united labor. And that is why I wish that someone would reach to the world religion of labor and sing hosannas to labor as a savior the only true source of health, peace and happiness

HELPING THE BLIND TO "sEE'

From the Chicago Post.
 Selenum is a nonmetallic chemical ele- ment, discovered nearly 100 years ago by Rerzelius, and possessing among other qualities that of a peculiar sensitivity to light It is a conductor of electricity and it's conductivity is increased by light rays.
 This peculiarity has made it the impor-
 tant factor in device that performs the miracle of making light audible, so that the blind can hear what they cannot see.
 Dr. F. C. Brown of the University of Iowa is the inventor of the instrument, which consists of lens placed at one end of an oblong box, the box containing selenium crystals so disposed that the rays of light concentrated by the lens falls upon them. An electric current IS passed through the selenium, the conduc-
 tive power of which varies according to the intensity of the light. By means of
 the current musical tones are produced corresponding to it's variations occasioned by the changing conductivity of the se- lenium.
 When the box is passed over a printed
 page, so lfldI the lens IS f6ldteQ to lue
 type impression, each letter produces it's
 own tone, and these varying tones are communicated to the blind reader through telephone transmitters. By actual experi- ment it has been demonstrated that blind persons after few trials can readily distinguish the different letters, and some
 are able to spell out whole words. It is believed that the average student could learn to read with facility in two months time.
 The device is yet in the early stages of development. Doubtless, it will be sim plified and perfected. Its inventor sees great possibilities in it's application. There appears to be no reason why, if it can be used for the audible transmission of the printed word, it should not be used for the ear-vision of pictures or even of land scape.
 l The world will welcome any invention l that makes happier the lot of the blind. 1 Never was there so many for whom the world has become a darkened room as now. The war has multiplied tremendous
 ly the sightless. If through his phonopti- con, Dr. Brown can give back to them some little of what they have lost he will have achieved more than any general who ! has captured a city.

Sentimental, But Not Mawl1ish

'It is said of Horace Annesley VachelFs new comedy, The Chief in which John Drew will claim attention at the Jefferson theatre on Wednes- day evening" said Brown Parks, that 1t is interesting, human. wholesome and thoroughly entertaining
 Granting this, and knowing Mir. Drew as all theatregoers surely must, it is not hard to understand the favor with which the comedy has met since it's original presentation in New York The story unfolded is a sentimental one, but it is not mawkishly senti- mental. It is the love affair of a widower and the woman he should have married in the first place and would have had not bit of idle gossip separated them Both have the sense that comes with years and by peculiar circumstances the gossipy woman who separated them in their youth comes dangerously close to doing so again. The comedy is cumulative in it's strength, is witty and bright and gives one an exceedingly sympathetic thrill in its closing scene. MT. Drew's role is one that fits him, if one may use that time-honored phrase, like the proverbial glove"

A Detroit Yisitnr

Birmingham is remarkably beau tiful and progressive city," said w. F.. Pollosky of Detroit, who is visiting his brother-in-law, Marc Link.
 "The business houses and office buildings compare favorably with sim liar structures in much larger cities
 than Birmingham and the residence streets are notably beautiful.
 Detroit is going forward at great rate. Last year the building permits totaled $S3,0O0,000. Real estate has
 been especially active in one or two outlying sections where it was rumored Henry Ford would build his big plant to manufacture tractors for agricul- tural use. The site has not been of ficially given out, however.
 'This tractor will in a measure revo- lutionize the business of farming. I understand the regulation Ford en- zine will be used, the frame will be light and the price around $200. l have seen this tractor in operation on MT. Ford's farm and it appears to be en- tirely practicable. It draws a gang Of blows and does the work as we'll as a horse drawn plow-cuts corners and goes up steep hills and around stumps.
 I understand about 1000 have been placed in use principally in Canada
 and the northwest. When the big plant is built the output will be enormous and tlr price is so low that it will be in reach of the small farmer.
 'I understand that MT. Ford intends to make the manufacture of his trac- tor an even larger industry than his autCmobile buSinesS'.

A DRY CONJUNCTION

disjunctive and exclusive? To import the old familiar juice from another state, a Washingtonian-the name was conse- crated to temperance 75 years ago-must get permit from his county auditor. At a meeting of the prosecuting attorneys of the state the majority held that the permit cannot include both intoxicating liquor and beer.
 But how about have in his possession? Suppose man has two quarts of whisky in his house? Must he drain tho bottles to the last drop before he can have any beer in his house? If he has 24 pints of beer, is ne obliged to swig every one of them before he brings the sterner stuff into his cellar? The state attorney gen. eral maintains that the crucial ''or'' must be taken to mean ''also," ''and." Other wise the law means the absurdity if any thing be absurd in liquor legislation. that a person may not have both beer and liquor in his house at the same time, and that if he does his castle may be raided by the very zealous officers of the law. The attorney generals opinion was over ruled by a two-thirds majority of the prosecuting attorneys. The courts will nave to interpret the law a product of the initiative and petition which bristles with litigious doubts and antiquities.
 Behold how great a fire a little con- Junction kindlethi

Savannah, a distance of 25O miles. The building of the gap between An niston and Columbus would shorten the distance approximately S25 miles,"
 Anniston is coming rapidly to the front as an industrial center. It is one of the most substantial cities in the south and few communities are growing faster.
 Let the upbuilders of Birmingham and Anniston cooperate in an effort to induce the Seaboard to take up this extension matter and practical results might be expected at an early day.
