Will Address Road Meeting

Mayor D. w. Robins goes to
Memphis today to address the
good roads meeting to be held at
the Chisca Motel, where dele
gates from the sections through
which the Jefferson Davis High
way and the Bankhead Highway
traverse. Gov. Bilbo was invited
to make this address, but owing
to his inability to be present he
requested Mr.. Robins to appear
for him. Mr.. Robins is more ia
miliar with the road business now
under construction in the state,
and will be able to give the del
egates much valuable informa-
ton in the way of road co~nstruc.
ton. Mr.. Robins is not as gifted
a speaker, and can't make as
good a speech, as the governor,
but we are tempted to throw out
the suggestion that he would
make as pcoj, if not a better,
governor than Theodore. We
are not throwing any chunks at
the governor, but Sir. Robins is
a business man and Gov. Bi!bo,
as everybody knows, Is not.

 I find that after Greece had declined d barbarous Macedonian made himself the owner of all Egypt, and in order to surround himself with the most spec tacular form of OStcntatiun of which his vain mind could conceive he set to collecting not only uil the rare and precious objects and books and nanu- scripts there were in the world, but he capped 1t all by making q collection or the living men of the world who had any reputation anywhere for knowing and thinking. Taking them from their homes where they had some relation Go the daily necessities ot human be- ings and had really been of some use, he shut them up for life in one of his palaces at Alexandria, which the folks there were iu tue habit of calling the hencOop of tue mU,eS.' and out of sheer desperation. since they could do nothing better tO aIu'..c themselves, they counted the w,rG5 .H the books which real mu had written and pre- pared tables of thr forms and cndings which the uraYS uf words employed.
