Yesserday's S Popular
 Vote the Largest

MMANY newspapers have been say GV0 ing that this years popular vote in the presidential election would be the largest cast in many years. 2 be the largest cast in many years. returns are tabulated, but it can be assumed that the grand total will show it to have been by far the larg- est ever cast. This, as a matter of course.
 The population of the United States increases steadily and while the popu- lar vote has not always increased in each ouadrennium over the next pre- ceding four years-for example, in 1904 it was less than in 1900-it usual ly gains.
 In 1912 the popular vote was 15 ,O36,- 542 as against 13,961, ,5s6 in 19OO-a gain of 1,072,976. The average in- crease had been about 260,00O, and yesterday the women of Illinois voted for the first time in a presidential contest, and as there were 600,000 or more of them the total popular vote went doubtless well over the 16,OOO,- 900 mark.
 Equal suffrage is spreading and in 1920 a 17,0OO,0OO vote may be ex- pected.

Prison Life Not so Bad

T return to Birmingham with many
 of my ideas concerning the supposed in- human treatment of convicts at the coal mine operated by the state completely changed,' remarked Dr. F. c. Bandy, after an absence of 10 dayss from the city, spent in prison practice at Belle
 Ellen, Bibb county.
 "The men are not overtasked, they are well fed, and no unnecessary punish
 ment is inflicted. Some of the men per-
 form double the labor called for by
 the rules under which the mine operates,
 and they are paid weekly for all extra
 work. The convicts are apparently as
 well contented as the free labor at the industrial plants in the mineral district.
 No labor is performed on Sundays, and the songs and laughter make tender foot feel that over the prison gate the
 inscription of Dante, Leave all hope be-
 hind ye who enter here,' does not apply. ''The prisoners are in charge of Warden
 C. H. Frazier and a number of guards.
 They are all pleasant fellows. l did not
 see mean nor a cruel face in the tot.
 The warden, Captain Davis, has the rare combination of executive ability, cour- tesy and humanitarian ideas, with a strong sense of justice, which in my opin-
 ion, makes him an ideal man to have charge of prisoners.

Left Library for City

Mrs. A. O. Lane widow of the tate Commissioner Lane, has presented the Birmingham library with a set Of books comprising 1000 volumes" said Carl Milan. chief librarian. 'The books ars all standard works on numerous sub jects of interest They were presented in the name of the late Judge A. O. Lane who died a little more than a year ago.
 Mrs. Lanes gift is one that will be highly appreciated by the people of Bir. mingham. Judge Lane was the type oi man who always looked forward to do- ing all he could for humanity. The books he left for the people of Birmingham will be fitting monument to his in terest in the city,

Election Passes Quietly

John Bethea, chairman of the Jefferson county democratic executive committee, stated last night that the election had passed off very quietly for one of such importance.
 There was no trouble anticipated, said Chairman Bethea "and none was had. The voters all Hooked to the polls early and registered their convictions without comment other than to state that they favored the various constitutional amendments. Most of the voters, it ap- peared to the election officers, were vot- ing either straight democratic or repub- lcan tickets. There were but few split ballots"

Buxh Likes Potato Pie

1T am heartily in accord with the cam paign The Age-Herald is putting on for a Sweet Potato Day." said President Nor ris Bush of the Chamber of Commerce. And 1 can personally recommend the Alabama sweet potato to anybody who might doubt it's merits. I have always had weakness for sweet potato pie. and when Sweet Potato Day comes around I'm going to eat at least one whole potato pie. Ordinarily, I don't eat more than a half. but I should like to honor the occasion. I have heard much talk among the men of Birmingham in regard to Sweet Potato Day, and on all sides I hear it heartily indorsed'

Cigars Going Up

Higher prices for cigars are inevit- able" said w. M. Mayes. manager of the c. c. Snider Cigar and Tobacco com- pany. Manufacturers simply must get more money for their goods. Retailers cannot afford to stand the increases and with the high cost of labor and decrease n tobacco production, there is nothing left for the manufacturer to do but ad- vance the price.
 Although operating expenses all raw materials have fuctuate.l both manu- facturers and retailers havs been loath tc disturb the equanimty of the smoker. There have been many occasions Then the cigar manufactures has found his yearly balance on the wrong side of th- ledger. The people have drifted into the habit of paying a nickel for cigar, and it will be hard thing to break away from. The 5-cent cigar will still be sold, but the siX-for-a-quarter Will have to be eliminated If the wholesale price goes higher, the 6-cent cigar will be the only alternative.
 Like all other advances. the cause may be laid to the war. While the con- SulilptlOH III lilG war iS iiCl 6'csteSi there has increased virtually every ele- ment entering into the making of cigars Labor has become scarce. due to iii- creased activity in other industries. and the price of labor has thus been made exceptionally high. The wooden cases in which American-grown tobacco is packed the cheese cloth under which certain kinds of tobacco is grown, fertilizer and other necessities to the trade have ad vance"

CHAPTER |
Hepsey Burke

The noisy, loose jointed train pulled
out of the station, leaving behind 1t q
solitary young man, enveloped in
smoke and cinders. In the middle Of
the platform stood q little building
with a curbed roof, pointed at both
ends like Noah's Ark; and the visi-
tor felt that II he could only manage
to lift up one side of the roof he would
find the animals two by two" togeth-
er with the cylindrical Noah and the
rest of his family. There was no one
In sight but the station master, who
called out from the ticket office:
did you want to go to the village?
The bus won't be down till the next
train: but maybe you can ride up on
the ice wagon"
Thanks" the stranger replied. 81

Twenty minutes or so, if Sam don't

West, and wait for a lot o. women
that forgot their handbags and have
to get out and go back after 'em."
The new arrival was good to look at
"a handsome, well built fellow of
about twenty-five, dressed in gray
suit which was non-commital as to
his profession, with q clean shaven
face which bore the unmistakable
stamp of good breeding and unlimited
good nature. He tilted his suit case
on end and sat down on it; then he
filled his briar pipe, crossed his legs,
and looked about to take stock Of the
situation. He gazed about curiously;
but there was nothing of any special
interest in sight, except, painfully con.

The stranger found himself wondering
where a sufficient number of bottles
could be found to complete such an
elaborate pattern. The only other
marked feature of the landscape il

of scarlet geraniums, staring Lefiantly
and seeming fairly to sizzle IN the hot

about him at the general air of dilap
