A Vacation Trip

From the Literary Digest.
Let us suppose a railway to have
been built between the earth and Cen
taurus, said the lecturer. By a con-
sideration Of this railways workings
we can get some idea Of the enormous
distance that intervenes between the
constellation Centaurus and us--that
being the nearest" to our solar sys-
tenn.
Suppose that I should decide to- take
a trip on this new aerial line to the
nearest fixed star. I ask the ticket
agent what the fare is and he an
swers:
1.-THE fare is very low, sir. 1t is only
a cent each hundred miles"
"And what, at that rate, will the
through ticket one way cost?' 1 ask
'It will cost just $2,75O. 900, oO0." he
answers.
+ pay for my ticket and board the
train. We set off at a Tremendous rate.
How fast" I ask the brak eman, "are
we going?"
sixty miles an hour. sir" says he,
"and it's a through train. There are
no stops"
we'll soon be there, then, won't
we?" I resume.

brakeman.

TUSCALOOSANS ARE
WORKING ACTIVELY
FOR AMENDMENT
West Alabama Fair Opens
With Good Attendance.
Democrats Contribute
to Campaign

Tuscaloosa, October 24.-(Special.)
An active campaign is being waged in
Tuscaloosa county in behalf of the
educational tax amendment to the con-
stitution. Last week is meetings were
held in different parts of the county
and many prominent men, including
DIR. George H. Denny, Edgar Clarkson,
Judge w. w. Brandon and others adj
dressed the meetings. 1t has been said
for sometime that this county would
be sure to go against the amendment,
but during the last week the amend
ment forces have made considerable
gains and thorough campaign Is
still being waged. Hon. Perry Hughes,
superintendent of education of Tusca-
losoa county, states that in his opin-
lon the county will now go in favor
of the amendment.
The West Alabama fair opened its
gates at 10 o'clock this morning. Re-
CARELESS of the fact that Tuscaloosa
is in the flooded district of last sum
mer's heavy rains, large crowds are
in attendance and the attractions are
better than ever before. The horse
races are especially good and many
free attractions are offered.
The finance committee of the demo-
cratic party in Tuscaloosa county has
raised about $3.50 by popular subscrip
tons for the campaign fund and are
hoping to double this amount during
the week. The railroad employees of
the city have subscribed about $50.
Judge William w. Brandon is in
great demand as a speaker during the
democratic campaign. This week he is
in st. Clair county making several
speeches and Friday he and Hon. Ed
gar Clarkson of Tuscaloosa will go to
PicSens county to speak in behalf of
the democratic nominees there. 1t is
said that some of the Hobson forces
are threatening to support the repub-
lican nominee in Pickens, hence the
call for Tuscaloosa orators.
Chancellor A. H. Benners of Biz
mingham is holding his last term
of chancery court in Tuscaloosa coun-
ty this week, as on the first of jan
uary his court is abolished and added
to the duties of Judge Henry 3. Fos-
ter, the circuit judge nominee.
