Department What lay behind the
 charges that were flying thick and
 fast only those on the inside know. Certain it is that General Wood pore
 his disappointment with good grace, acted the part of man and a patriot and now may entertain hopes of the presidency.
 Democrats admire General Wood also, but they have no intention on that account of yielding the field be- fore a battle is fought and permit ting a republican nominee to win not if they can prevent any such dis aster. But in the remote and painful contingency of a republican being the next President of the United States, a thought that no dyed-in-the-wool democrat would entertain for a mo- ment, they might reconcile themselves more easily to a man of General Woods caliber than a professional politician. 4

T * E Flirting With the Death That Lurks In a Bottle

NhW GOD alcohol is causing many w deaths in America. Every day newspapers record tragedies of this character, and all the victims are by no means the riff-raff. of so- ciety.
 To the ignorant there is no differ ence between wood alcohol and grain alcohol, yet one is a deadly poison. certain to produce blindness or death, while the other is the basis of geau- inc whisky. Opinions differ as to its deleterious effects. Prohibition orators have called it likewise a poison, but even in their widest flights of oratory they have not ven- tured to say that it's effects are so swiftly lethal as those produced by wood alcohol.
 Any man, or woman either, who
  buys liquor from an itinerant boot logger is running the risk of illness or death The bootlegger himself may not know what he is selling, or he may palm off any connection for the profit there is in it. The most aston ishing mixtures have been made and sold to persons in quest of something with ''kick" in it, and the wonder IS that fatalities have not been more numerous.
 If not already here, the time is coming when the bootlegger and the blind tiger operator should adopt a skull and crossbones as the symbol of their profession.

Pecan a Profitable
 Product of Alabama

i TN Alabama's crop diversification
 ~ the pecanis coming we'll to the front.
 It Is valuable product. It pays we'll
 and is easily marketed.
 | One of the most important ad- dresses delivered at recent session of the Alabama Horticultural society
 was that of William P. Bullard of ] Albany, Ga, president of the National
 Pecan exchange, who called attention
 to the importance of the cooperative
 system. The supply company last year did business of s5, ITS, ,ooo, in- cluding lemons, grape fruits and nuts. Mir. Bullard dwelt particularly upon
 the cooperative marketing associa- tion, because he stated that without the establishment of cooperative Imetho"s in the marketing of pe,ans. at the present rate of planting and production, the pecan industry would be overgrown in few years, and con- Isternation result among the growers. one million trees are being planted every year and about 100, 1000 come into bearing annually. While at the present time the domestic demand ex- |ceeds the supply, yet eventually for eign fields will have to be opened.
 The National Pecan exchange is equipped to cure, grade, pack and sell nuts for pecan growers all over the south. The curing house is kept at the temperature of about 100 to no

 iner.
 SM USINESS is booming In tho the lS0 aters. Even with the price of G tickets sky high. seats at the performance of your choice are hard to get--harder than ever because of the unpopularity of scalpers So many plays are clamoring for attention that theatres in all the larger cities are playing a sort of dramatic checkers, moving the pieces on and off almost re- gardless of their drawing power, for nearly anything will draw to capacity for while at least.
 The figures published for Up In Ma bePs Room are illuminating-near s1S,o00 a week regularly for a show that not even the producers would claim was in any way remarkable.
 What is the reason? Largely, of course, the fact that everybody is spending money as never before. Stem ographers wear silk from top to toe, and buy fur coats at $35o, on the in stallment plan
 Fifty alumni of the University of Chicago subscribe s30,0o at a dinner toward the endowment not of the uni- versty. but of their alumni association, so that in two or three years they may be organized to subscribe two or three million.
 The Greek proprietors of fruit stands ride to their places of business in auto bomiles.

Wood Presidential Boom
 Is Getting Under Way

00 EN. LEONARD WOODS in- SS dorsement for the presidential nomination by the republican state convention of South Dakota is nat urally, hailed as a favorable omen by his supporters throughout the coun- try. General Wood won the indorse- ment quite handily over Gov. Frank o. Lowden of Illinois, whose name was also before the convention. Mr. McAdoo was favored by the demo- crats, who were in session at the same time, provided Mir. Wilson is unable to run for third term.
 General Wood at present appears to be by long odds the strongest can didate for the presidency among re- publican aspirants. There can be no doubt that he would be the most pop- ular candidate. General Woods pro- motion by President Roosevelt over the heads of many other army of- ficers created some bitterness against him in army circles, but time has long since vindicated Roosevelt's judgment, and during the recent war General Wood did work of jncal- culable value for his country in whip ping raw troops into shape to play a g3orious part on the battlefields of Francs.
 This task was performed quietly and conscientiously, although General Wood desired overseas service above all things, according to the popular belief, and his friends were loud in their protests against the alleged in- justice shown one of the nations foremost military leaders by the War

dramatists are playing psychnfoE- p1unging on characterization instead ok plot What happens is made of no in,,- portance; to whom it happens is every thing.
 Take a play now very popular hero. Its original title-under which. how ever. it could never find production- was 'The Soul of Girl" It's plot re- veals the success of maiden so beau- tiful and innocent that every man who sees her wishes to protect her; even that wickedest and most designing of men, the play producer, Just when he has her in his power, relents and sends her away unharmed; and in the end she marries the rich young man for whom Providence destines all such charmers This is a dream that even the alarm clock of Laura Jean Libby shattered years ago. As a plot it is nothing short of astounding.
 But-every minor character is amus- ing and skillfully drawn. Not one scene fails, in conception or prgsshta- tion. They are theoretically, not vital- ly. significant; but they are signifi- cant. And the audiences respond to them with delight
 Events have dulled us The terrible happenings of the war, the extraor- dinary happenings of daily life. have followed in such a succession of tre- mendous shocks that the imagination finds any fictional event dull by coun- parison. It takes refuge from events in personalities. And the playwrights. subcon sciously recognizing this truth. are giving us what we want.
 We had the story play and tho prob. lem play. Now we have the oddity play. It is hard on the star; for the cast in general counts much more than any individual But who knows7 It may develop many future stars, for 1t fs giving opportunity to a host of players unknown.

"WHITE SLAVES OF AMERICA
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 A CORRESPONDENT asks: If
 A\ 4oO,00o men must go to Jail or S dig coal against their will. isn't it time for some of our statesmen to write a volume on The White Slaves of America ?"
 Of course, the hypothesis is absurd. Every man-jack of the alleged 400, 900 is free to stop work if he pleases with out agreement or conspiracy with any body else. Only conspiring to lessen coal production and freeze the country out is contempt of court
 Nevertheless the question suggests some interesting contrasts Bobden's volume was directed against real op- pression. It struck at the employment of young children in the coal mines, the harnessng them to coal cars, the impossibly long hours, the demoraliz- ing conditions of their slavery. It was a powerful book. In sense it may be said to have stirred England as the United States was stirred by Uncle Toms Cabin" It hastened the reform of the evils 1t criticised
 There was no piano in any miners house in all Great Britain. There was no union of miners. The coal barons were the bread lords, and paid what they chose to pay. The employment of children and women meant the -de- struction of the home; 1t was a crime against the rising generation Nobody talked then of six-hour day Fourteen was the common limit Cob den's title was Justified. and got addi- tional ironical force from the exist ence of negro slavery in the United States, strongly attacked by some of the men who owned coal mines.
 We are glad no young children are forced to work in our mines We are glad that miners have a much shorter day We are not unwilling to concede that unions have had large part in producing the change. But today in America the essential slavery is that imposed upon the consumer, the ulti- mate consumer of coal: the essential tyranny is the calss tyranny of the miners unions.

From the large number of hunting licenses that are being issued from the office of the probate court" stated j.. w. Morrow. there must be an abun dance of game in Jefferson county, for season. The number we have issued this year is greatly in excess of several of the previous years.
 Up until a short while ago marriage licenses were the greatest business that we handled from the three win dows of the office of the court, but recently they have faded from view and the most frequent query that we Near from the other side of the window Aow is. Can I take out hunting license?

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
BirminEhnm set. EnnmpIe

When S. C. Holland, an Atlanta trav- cling man, blew into Birmingham the other day he ran his chirography across the register of one of Birmingham leading hospices and beat it for the dining room As he fell upon a menu this typed notice on the back stared l-him in the face:
 To the Public: Help prevent disease. The law requires that all vessels. dishes and utensils used in connection with the dispensing and serving of foods and drinks shah be cleaned and sterilzed after each use thereof Patrons will render valuable assistance in making this regulation effective by demanding strict compliance on the part of the manage ment of drinking and eating places, and will render valuable service to the pub lie by notifying the department of health. city of Birmingham, of any violation"
 MT. Noland later discovered that this inscription upon the menu was done vol untarily. not compulsorify by the hotel management
 When Mir. Noland returned to his home burg. he penned this note. addressed to the Health Department City of At lsnta":
 T inclose you herewith menu of the Tutwiler hotel, Birmingham. On the back of said menu you will note that the city law requires that all dishes, uten. sils, etc, be sterilized.
 Unless I am mistaken. Atlanta is sad ly lacking in such sanitary measures, and I'm simply calling this to your atten- tion to show you what our progressive neighbor is doing"
 A carbon copy of the letter yesterday reached Dr. J D, Bowling at the city hall.
 Moral: Even the busy, clustering Wonder City of the South" learns new ideas and gleans thoughts of more mod ern progress through contact with the daily life and commercial environment of Greater Birmingham
