rest in Indianapolis on Thursday OF
this week. Some of the antics of the
colonel would make the remnant turn
in its grave before the campaign is
over, no doubt. 1t missed great op-

MAYOR "BIG BILL" THOMPSON
Nl of Chicago, who is credited
with having restored the sombrero to
favor in Cook county, Illinois, was
recently criticized by City Treasurer
Charles H. Sergel for alleged neglect
of duty. The re-

mayor appeared at his office at the
early hour of 10 o'clock in the morn
ing, something he had not achieved in
months before. Until 2:15 p. m. it was
reported about the city hall that May
or "Bill" was hard at work. However,
when he went out to lunch he didn't
come back. Presumably the strain of
working four hours and Is minutes
was too much for him, although he is
rather large and husky person.
While in his office the mayor found
time to remark of his plain-spoken
critic, "Well, Sergel is all right, !
guess, if you can understand him, but
sometimes he is hard to understand"
Naturally, the idea of an office
holder who draws fat salary taking
off his coat and working like an ordi-
nary day laborer is incomprehensible
to Mr.. Thompson. 1t isn't done by
mayors who affect the silk hat and
the address of welcome. To be sure
captain of industry may have to
slave in his office from 8 o'clock In
the morning-or at least-untll late
lin the afternoon, but he's working fol
himself, not the people.
The honorable mayors of America
would feel that they had compromised
their dignity if they attempted any
thing of the sort.

~ ROVE PARK INN, Asheville, N.
y c., July 29.-(Special.)- This town
of Asheville has been practically
cut off from the world for two weeks
today. Only one of the four railroad
lines reaching to the outer world is yet
in operation and that Is one of the little
junk mountain lines of the Southern go

with Louisville and Nashville flimsy
line formerly known as the Marietta and
North Georgia. One can get out this
way if one is willing to be slashed about
for a couple of days like one formerly
rode on the old dummies about Birming-

Prospects for Good Crops

II have been over quite a large part
of Alabama since the recent heavy
rains said Ben Hill Walker, a trav-
cling salesman, land despite the rains
there will be good crop in most of
the sections. Aside from bottom land,
cotton and corn are looking we'll, and
where the water did not stand over the
land there is good, healthy look about
the weed.
"Of course there is quite bit of
grass in all upland fields, caused from
lack of suitable weather to work in,
but the stuff got a good start of it and
will mature before the grass has had
time to choke 1t down.
Il have talked to a number of farm
ers in the boil weevil section and they
think that the rains have served them
In epod stead by destroying many of
the pests, before they had time to de-
vastate the fields"

HOTEL LOBBIES
VIII Poultry and Eggs be Higher.

Inc recent long rainy spell in Ala
oama and the south has played havoc
with poultry of all ages" said John c..
Moses. MY wife has about 400 White
heghorn pullets, ranging from four to
six months in age. But, believe me, she
has worked to keep out disease and
other trouble during this bad spell.
she is strong on preparedness, and
doses her chickens several times each
week, thus preventing contagious dis
eases from getting foothold in her
flock. During all the recent rains she
did not lose bird, owing, probably, to
a very effective remedy and preven-
tive she keeps on hand.
| reports from all sections show
many focks dying from roup, sore
head, cholera, gapes, diarrhoea and
limberneck. All these diseases are more
or less contagious. Cholera is caused
from filthy conditions; roup is a severe
cold sorehead is a much debated dis
ease, but my theory is that it origi-
mates from damp and dirty quarters
and carried by mosquitoes; gapes is a
small red worm in the windpipe and
the remedy must be dropped directly
into the organ; 1imebrneck Is caused
by the fowl eating putrid flesh, not
maggots, as some think. All these dis
eases must be watched and the proper
preventatives put into the feed and
drinking water.
| 1T may be that eggs and poultry
will advance considerably by fall, as
all fowls who have become diseased
will produce inferior Matching eggs
later. This will shorten the market for
broilers and flyers. Many thousands
were drowned recently.
| when our 400 White Leghorn pull
let's begin to sing and cackle, ham and
will be in order. And how much better
they taste than the half-addled fruit
we get at the stores. 1 don't see why
more small poultry farms are not fos-
tered. At least seven eighths of the
eggs and poultry used in Birmingham
are shipped in. But don't ever get the
idea into your head that you can let
the hens do all the work; they need
adjusting every day."

No Kick on Camps

Despite reports to the contrary, 1
think the consensus of opinion among
the men at Camp Vandiver is that con-
ditions there are entirely satisfactory"
said Sergeant Lester NJ Cullen of Com
pany K, Fourth regiment, who is in
Birmingham on short furlough.
"The food served to the boys in
camp is excellent, and there is a super
abundance of it. OF course, we do not
sleep in a hotel, but the fellows all
knew what to expect in the way of
bedding when they enlisted. The mos
quitoes are not more troublesome at
Camp Vandiver than they are here in
Birmingham and 1 think the complaints
on that score are small, indeed.
"In Company K we have a cook that
can't be beat by any other cook in
camp. The boys of Company K have no
fault to find with camp life, but we
would, of course, much prefer to be on
the way to the border"

Lamar Democrat: Birmingham has
levied a street tax on all citizens of that
city. Our prediction is that the city tax
collector will have a full man-size job
collecting it, if the citizens of that city
are as hard to pull taxes from as are the
inhabitants of the average small town.

A BORN MUSICIAN.

Fine musicians, like poets. are.
born.
Native talent can be cultivated
but never inoculated by the best
of teachers.
This is proven by the record
Mary Louise Wallace, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. T, L. Wallace, whose
18th birthday was in last Septem-
Der. She is a piano pupil of Mrs.
Pierre Camblos. who continues to
study at the Atlanta Conservatory
of music. The foremost instructor
in piano playing in this institution
requested all students who had be-
ginners on the piano to bring them
to his studio as soon as they could
play piece. Mary Wallace had
learned a little waltz, Dance With
Me- after taking lessons only five
weeks. In the sixth week Mrs.
Camblos took her to this professor
to show him what she had learned.
He was amazed at her playing. AS
a memory test he played brief melo-
dies three times in succession, ask
ing the pupils to render them af-
ter this by ear
Mary was the youngest one who
could do this.
Her teacher is delighted with
the progress she has made and says
she will be a thorough musician be-
cause she has the patience and in
dustry necessary to accomplish this
She inherits her love of music ami
her ability to play so well from her
mother wno is most accomplished
