that Col. Blythe will cooperate With
the city in the matter of having a
dress parade in the city shortly af-
ter their arrival.
1t is expected that great many
people from various parts Of the State
will be here during the stay of the
troops, and they Will assist in the
general program Of entertainment.
The adjutant generals office was
asked this morning if the designa-
ton of the cavalry officer to assist
Capt. Graham in the mastering out OF
the troops foreshadowed the early re-
turn of the Charleston Light Dragons
The reply was in substance that, so
far as is known, the assignment OF
Capt Cox to assist in the disarmament
of the First regiment had no con-
nection with any probability of nea:
return of the Dragons, and tia:
there had BEEN no official int.mation
as to when the cavalry troops, or any
of the other troops from this State on
the border, might get back home.
In connection with the general mill
tary situation, it is a matter of gen.
eral satisfaction in official circles here
that the Anderson situation has passed
off without any trouble of any conss-
quence. Only one company is no"
left at Anderson. the others having
already left for their respective homes.
Second Lieutenant James T. Moore.

in Columbia He is now on detached
duty, and is on his way to Charleston,
where he will sail on December 2. on

The adjutant general has just re-
turned from a successful hunt in his
old home section, around Green Pond
and other points in the lower part
of the State. Among the game which
he brought back were a. portion OF
two deer which were killed The ad-
jutant general is very fine shot,

If the government armor plate plant
is located in the south, am convinced
that 1T will go to Gadsden," said Col
r. A. Mitchell of the Etowah county
metropolis, who was at the Tutwiler
last night. 1--WE have gone after this
S11,000,0O0 plant in real earnest and
have just forwarded to Secretary Dan
iels and the members of the naval
board a bona fide offer Of 1000 acres
of land as the site for the plant. This
offer has been underwritten by re-
sponsible parties and there can be no
doubt about us making good if the
plant can be secured.
"Gadsden will give this land almost
anywhere the government wants it and
will have fine river frontage. This
offer means the same as 100000 in cash.
We have tried this plan of offering
a bonus to get plants and we are con-
WINGED that it is the best paying in
vestment any city could make. We
gave the Gulf States Steel some years
ago s15O,000 to locate their steel plant
there and it has paid US many times
over already. In addition, we have Just
secured another million dollar plant
from the same company because we
had the first one in our city"

There has never been such healthy

the grandfather of DR.. Charles c.

one of the foremost jurists in Alabama

an indelible imprint upon the jurispru-
dence of this state
The portrait is to be hung in the
library of the supreme court at Mont
gomery and will be given a place OF
honor among the list of noted jurists
which Alabama has produced. Miss

ALABAMA MULES IN EUROPE

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
The Age-Herald says 10000 mules and
horses have been shipped from Birming-
ham to Europe for service in the war.
Birmingham has received over $1,000, OOO
from this traffic. 1t is estimated that
upwards of 1000 mules and horses have
gene from this country to Europe. over
$lot, 600 900 have been involved in the
sales of these animals.
The mule that goes to the war will live
about two weeks on an average.
In 1915 there were about 25,500,0 900 mules
and horses in this country; there were
less than 100000 mules. For several
years mules and horses have been ex-
per sive. They have been SO costly in
fact that even in times of peace 1t was
&C nsidered sound economics to raise mule
colts and horses for sale.
It's mighty poor mule that brings
less than $500 on the market. And it
doesn't cost much to raise a few colts
Prices in future will be very high.
Can't you find room for the advent of
a colt or two a. year on your farm?

SHlElRlDAN'S RIDE

BY Thomas Buchanan Read.
Up from the south at break OF day,
Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay,
The affrighted air with a shudder bore,
Like a herald in haste to the chieftain'
door.
The terrible grumble, and rumble, and
roar,
Telling the battle was on once more,
And Sheridan 20 miles away
And wider still those pillows of war
Thundered along the horizons bar;
And louder yet into Winchester rolled
The roar of that red sea uncontrolled;
Making the blood of the listener cold,
AS he thought Of the stake in that fiery
fray
And Sheridan 20 miles away.
But there is a road from winchester
town,
A good broad highway leading down;
And there, through the flush OF the
morning light, -
A steed as black as the steeds of night
Was seen to pass, as with eagle flight,
AS if he knew the terrible need;
He stretched away with his utmost
speed
Hills rose and fell; but his heart was
gay,
With Sheridan 10 miles away.
still sprang from those swift hoofs,
laundering SOUTH
The dust, like smoke from the cannon's
mouth,
Or the trail of comet, sweeping faster
and faster.-
Foreboding to traitors the doom Of dis
sstel.
The heart of the steed and the heart of
the raster
We're beating like prisoners assaulting
their walls,
I,oratient to be where the battlefield
calls;
Every nerve of the charger was strained
to full play.

LUKE M,LuKE SAYS

You don't have to rush straight ahead
and FOLLOW your nose to get anywhere
The tumble bug, who pushes his load

the grasshopper,, who jumps as far as
he can and then looks around to find
where he has landed.

1t doesn't take married woman long
to discover that her husband is the only
man in the world who doesn't understand
her.
A girl can be so modest in private that
she will undress in the dark. But that
doesn't prevent her from displaying her
knees and her wishbone when she is out
in public.
once upon time man went into
barber shop and got shave. And when
the barber was through shaving the man.
the barber rubbed the witch hazel on the
mans upper lip and chin and neck and
didn't put 1T all in the mans eyes and
on his forehead. All fairy tales begin
with Once upon a time.
A wise man imagines that he knows
something about men, And fool i'm
agines that he knows something about
women.
If woman gets married before she is
30 years old she will always throw up
to her husband the fact that she was
robbed of her girlhood.
A girl gets SO tired of passing her even
ings alone that she gets married and
continues to pass her evenings alone
The successful man is the one who gets
up from his Knees and starts in to an

And girl will marry a man because
she feels sorry Tor him and then pas the
rest of her time feeling sorry for herself.

A SERMON IN A SENTENCE

From the Youngstown Telegram.
There died a short time ago a woman
who never occupied, or aspired to &C.
cupy, a conspicuous position in the world
but who was beloved by all who knew
her The secret of her charm lay in her
charity-not the charity of almsgiving,
although she was always openhanded
to those in need-but the broader chart
ty that consists in leniency toward the
frailties of others. When gossip, even
gossip not unduly harsh, assailed man or
woman she invariably met it with the
one response:
'Well now, maybe if you knew all about
the case you'd find the poor man Cor
woman) wasn't so much to blame after
ALL"
What an insight into a Christian char
acter that remark conveys. And what a
lesson in Christian charity it teaches. 1t
is the Ten Commandments in single
sentence. Philosopher or theologian never
uttered a more beautiful thought for
mankind to ponder over. Epigram ma
ker never directed more perfect shaft.
What different world it would be if
everyone judged the worlds people that
way.

There seems to be no limit to the
being employed by the moving picture
industry to produce pictures of unusual
attractiveness," said w. C. Patterson,
travelling representative for the Mutual
Film corporation, with headquarters in
Atlanta, who is in the city for few
days.
"The Mutual Film corporation has
recently released film called Pur-
ity.' The theme of this picture is based
on ancient mythology and deals with
a subject that teaches a wonderful
lesson. More than half million dollars
was spent on this one production which
took several months to produce. Miss
Audrey Munson. declared the most
perfect specimen of womanhood in the
world, is cast in the leading role. She
posed for most of the sculpture on ex-

ago Her work in Purity is conceded
to be par excellence.
THE movie public Of today Is al
ways looking for the unusual. The
tawdry, slipshod, ordinary film does
not appeal any more. In the olden days
this was all right, but now it takes
merit to induce people to spend their
money on the picture shows"
