TAKING LIFE EASY.
Alabamians Said to be Exceptionally
Good Rosters.

There Is no getting around the admis-

to deny that Alabamians take life easy;
that they live up to their name.
BY nature they are good rcsters-when
there is nothing more worth while to
be. Possibly their cue was taken from
their own mighty, slow moving rivers,
the enormous sum of whose latent power
was barely suspected before the growth
of industrial needs made demands of
such proportions as could be met by few
rivers on the continent, demands that
the Goosa, the Tallapoosa. the Tombig-
bee, the Warrior and the Tennessee
Rivers are fitted to meet to the full ex-
tent of all probable acquisitions. The
magnitude Of their reserve power will
become apparent in proportion to the

demand. When its limit has been

in hurrying so long as haste does not

of the Allegheny foothills. That theil
love of ease was encouraged by the gen
