"Noisy. Lee At Camp Pike


 If you have ever been to Selma for the past year or so and attended any Rotary function" said Dr. George w. Lang, you will be sure to have re- membered a happy hearted young preacher named Edward Powell Lee, but lovingly nicknamed Noisy Lee for he alw~ ys led in the fun and the sing ing.
 T was down there recently and missed his smiling face and the roar of his mighty voice. Upon inquiry I found that he is now located at Camp Pike, as director of music, and will have a wonderful opportunity for service among the 65,00o men located there, many of whom are Birmingham boys

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Merely n Suggestion

Why not let our good friends at Bes- semer who have been working for a Bessmer county so long, abandon the Bessemer county proposition, for we think too much of them to let little thing like county line divide us," said Dr. F. I. Tarrant, recently defeated for the legislature.
 Why not, instead, slice off the west ern end of Jefferson, tie southern end of Walker, the east side of Tuscaloosa and the north end of Bibb and Shelby and make new county at the head of the river navigation on the Warrior, which would be great accommodation to all of the people in that territory, as all of them have to go long way to reach their respective county sites? |,
 This can be done without much injury to any of these counties, and l would suggest to those who live outside of this proposed new county who want office, to move into the new county, fill the offices and grow up with the new county.

Livingston Normars Record

"The State Normal school at Lfvin8s- ton closed it's third quarter on the 14th," said Dr. c. W. Brock, the pres ident, who has made such success of it.
 "The attendance in spite of the war was 243, and class of P was grad
 uated. The prospects, are that the fourth quarter will break all attend ance records. Our school has always been largely attended by young women, and hence the war has not affected the number of scholars as much as has been the case in some of the other normals in the state.'

DIR. IRVING FISHER.

One of the most distinguished Oh
American political economists is DIR.
Irving Fisher, professor of political
economy at Yale, and the author Oh
numerous works on economic topics.
Prof. Ffsher-Who is ffty-one years
old today, having been born on FEB.
II, 1857, at Saugerties, N. Y.,-has
written much on the economic as
poets of the great war. To him the
most terrible calamity is not the cost
of war in human lives, not the ire
| mendous cost in money-"not hlled
graves, wrecked cathedral, or Quilted
treasure boXes''-but ''the empt1ed
| cradles of the coming generation" In
his opinion, sit is the quality and not
| the quantity of human life" that
| should be held precious and he sees
war wasting the young and vigorous
men who should be the fathers of the
next generation, while it spares the
| physically or mentally weak, the aged
| and the infirm, the insane and other
! detectives. 1t is the latter who must
now perpetuate the human race, and
the result will be, he fears, men and
! women less vigorous mentally and
physically, deficient morally, and
probably of much smaller stature.
Prof. Fisher does not believe that
peace will bring an immediate reduc-
ton in the high cost of living. He
also foresees a "boom period, which
may eliminate in a commercial crisis
in a few years after the close of the
war, as was true after the Crimear
war, the American Civil war and the
Franco-Prussian war" He believes
that a strong anti-war movement will
develop after the conclusion of the
struggle, declaring that German vic.
lations of neutral rights will surely
prove a powerful stimulus to safe.
guard those rights in the future" Ma.
tional bankruptcies and revolution:
he also considers among the probable
results of the war in some coun.
tries.
