with the spirit of conquest never have had their equal in the history of Ala bama.
 The new and final vote schedule. which went into effect Monday morn ing and continues through the remain ing days of the campaign was hailed by all candidates with great acclaim. Full ly half hundred telephone calls yes- terday served to convey the information that candidates felt sure this final vote scale would prove for them a means of victory.
 Callers during the day announced similar convictions. All incoming mails brought further reports that the candidates in the outside districts would make the most of the last splen- did opportunity to pluck magnificent automobiles as their reward.
 THE SUPREME OPPORTUNITY
 The new vote schedule is the supreme opportunity to attain success. It all lows many thousands of votes on each and every new subscription that is turned in from now until the closing hour. New second payments also re- ceive the benefit of the increased vote scale.
 One candidate stated yesterday that she was making thorough canvass of every subscriber she previously had secured, ana thus Tar her second pay ments have averaged better than 50 per cent of the subscribers.
 Many of the contestants who appar- ently had no chance if they be judged by their present vote standing. promise to spring such big surprises at the end as will send the too confident ones down to defeat Over-confidence is the biggest handicap under which a candi- date could labor. This unwelcome at tribute causes more regrets and disap- pointments than anything else in a campaign of this sort.

This, in three words, is the reason.
 This is why, all over America, Fati. mas are the choice of shrewd, knowing smokers.
 Fatimas are not a straight Turkish cigarette. Most men find straight Turk ish too heavy.
 The famous Fatima Turkish blend contains jusf enough Turkish just enough to taste right and just enough to leave man feeling right, even when Lc smokes moro than usual
 This also is why Fatimas today are out-selling all of tho fancy, expensive. straight Turkish cigarettes even at places such as Palm Beach and French Lick, and at America's smartess hotels and clubs.

No luxury encom- passes the delights of a motor car. and these particular cars that will be driven free on August ? stand out in omni- parent splendor.
 There isn't the slightest doubt but what candidates appreciate the value of the prizes they are striving for. It is indicated by the relentless energy they are putting into their gathering of subscriptions. And as the race mar rows down to the last few days, effort is being redoubled; friends are being called upon to lend support
 Persistent reports that there are lia- ble to be several dark horses in the race are given color by the fact that several candidates who weren't partic- ularly active during the earlier days of the campaign are beginning to show considerable speed, what these candi- dates are liable to develop is uncer- tain. Several cases exist where friends have taken up the battle in behalf of their favorites with the result that votes are literally piling up.
 This uncertainty, of course, is put ting others on guard, and it is safe to say that the race will be a hotly contested one.
 The winning margins are apt to be small. Indeed, it may happen that only one or two subscriptions would be suf- tlcient to turn defeat into victory.
 Candidates are urged to check up their vote standing as it appears in the paper in order to make sure that their credit at the last count is correct. No changes or corrections will be made after Thursday as by that time every candidate will have ample time to look after their interests in the matter If mistake exists after that, it will be the candidates own fault
 And in the meantime, win an auto mobile by way of that vote schedule.

THE DIMENSIONS OF HEAVEN
(Ocala Banner.)

When the editor of this paper frs
entered a printing office-now sixty
years ago-among the first pieces he
remembers putting into type was the
following article.
1t is still going the rounds, which
proves that good thing is never
lost.
It makes clear the truth that there
is ample room in heaven for the tril
lions Of the earth.
The article will bear republication
in the twenty-first chapter of Rev
elation, sixteenth verse, we read:
"And he measured the city with {
reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The
length and the breadth, and the
height of it are equal"
Accepting these figures as author
itative, mathematician, 1t Is to b.
hoped not irreverently, has figured
out the room space in heaven as fol
lows:
Twelve thousand furlongs is
100000 feet, which being cubed
gives 96,793,OSS, 900, 100000 cubic
feet. Half of this we will reserve fol
the throne and court of heaven, ant
half of the balance for streets. This
leaves 1922, 900, 100000, cubic
feet. Divide this by 4,096 the cubica
feet In room sixteen feet square
and there will be 30,321 ,843, 900 ,00t
rooms.
1--WE will now suppose the world al
ways did and always will contain 300
100000 inhabitants, and that a gener
alton lasts for thirty.three and hal
years, making in all 1910, 100000 ev
cry century. and that the world will
endure 1900 years, or 1000 centur
les, making in all 2,7OO, 900, oOO, 900 ,OOt
inhabitants.
Then suppose there were total O
297 ,000, 000, 100000 persons, thert
would still be more than one hun
dred rooms sixteen feet square fo
each person"
