 newed his fight, and the Senate, in- pressed with the justice of his conten- tion that the road bill should be con

 port the Bankhead good roads bi,. as substitute for the Shackelfo. T &1 The former provides for the appropriation in four successive years of $32, 100000 to be extended as government aid to the sev-

 And we played politics for all it was worth. For instance. we declined to seat the Attalia delegation. It seems that mailed the check for it's dues too late. It was a very pretty question, one entire ly worthy of the nice solution of schol- arly women. The Attalla delegation, it is understood would have supported Mrs. Hundley. At any r&te, the delegation was denied a seat by the anti-Hundley votes.
 And we finished it up in splendid style. When Mrs Hundley was defeated, she congratulated the victor in conven- done it better. And the successful can didate received her honor handsomely. Nothing was said of the furious strug- gle which previously had ragged, nothing of the reports with which the conven- tion had seethed. There was. on the con trary, an apparent love feast, and that which ranked in the heart was not given expression of mouth.

SOME LIVELY POLITICS

Political conditions in Alabama are so interesting just at the present time that I cannot long remain beyond the border of the state. We women are en- tertaining in our sphere, and then there IS the dear city commission. The com missioners are wrangling with blue law problems, an entertaining subject And Dr. Dickinson and Dr. Eaves. renowned men of the gospel are biting each others ear through the columns of The Age-Herald. And in the state at large the prohibitionists are trying to parcel out offices as usual, and Mir Carnley is saying unkind things of the so-called bosses who gave MT. Merritt their fath- erly blessing.
 f-1t is all too interesting for words. Of course, we have no time for the solu- tioI of problems of merit. An hour is too precious to be devoted to effort for permanent and progressive accomplish ment. We are 'tangoing,' to speak. "

Cork bricks which have been sub

The bricks are placed in half-inch
