get married or to better himself he did
not say. Anyway we feel it only just
ard right to tell the world that he is
leaving of his own accord and that he
gave the fullest satisfaction while in
our employ We are glad to give him
a reference of the highest character. He
is sober, honest, efficient, does not go
out nights very much, and is pnd of

Coal Situation and
An Amicable Solution

I1H'HE local coal situation is as
4 bright as could be desired.
The operators have always shown a
disposition to pay liberal wages, and
now in this exigency they have volun-
tarily increased the rate to miners Il
per cent and have at the same time
Iagreed not to make any increase in
the price of coal to the public.
This indicates that they are uphold
ing MIR. Garfield's ruling and are at
the same time affording the miners
here an opportunity to make an ap-
|preciably larger wage.
The labor agitator may continue to
keep up strife, but the better class
|of mine workers do not seek trouble.
They are satisfied with the present
arrangement, just as the operators
are satisfied.
Operators and miners alike are to
be heartily congratulated upon the
solution. And the operators are espe-
cially to be commended upon their
decision not to take advantage of the
situation by advancing the price to
the consumer.
The Birmingham district has come
through the coal strike peacefully. 1t
it greatly 10 it's credit and will be of
far-reaching benefit to it from an in
dustrial point of view. Birmingham's
future was never as bright as it is
today.

to invest.

Ultimate investigation of his business
Others, who hope to trade on the pub
lies gullibility,, will find the new law
a stumbling block, if it is strictly en-
forced. There is every reason to
believe that it will be enforced to
the letter.
The sale of liberty bonds made the
American people nation of invest
ors. 1t was a new experience for
millions of people who had never
iowned securities before. The lure of
investments promising much greater
returns has caused many of these
bonds to change hands, enriching I'M
scrupulous promoters and leaving
nothing to their dupes but scraps of
paper.
Alabama's ''blue sky law" will not
hamper any honest enterprise, but it
will protect the holders of liberty
bonds in this tate and put an end to
stock swindles.

Those thoughtless students little
dreamed when they seized Mr.. John

were helping to fasten prohibition

so, but they have assuredly made the
way easier for those who follow in

Nancy Langhorne of Virginia
Elected to British Commons

M7EW glamor has come to the
" beautiful Langhorne girls of
Virginia" in the election Of Lady AS
tor to the British House of Commons.
The former Nancy Langhorne waged
a picturesque and plucky campaign
which aroused the admiration not
only of Americans, but of the Brit
ish as we'll Her personal courage
and her brilliant wit appeal to the
Briton's sporting instinct ard while
there may have been some murmurs
against an American woman inTad-
ing the sanctity of the British Far
Lament, early prejudice seems to
have been swept away.
The fact that Lady Aston polled
fewer votes than her husband, for
merly a member of Parliament, who
succeeded to his fathers title when
Viscount Astor died recently, and au-
tomatically became member of the
House Of Lords, is no disparage nent
to her. Rather, her victory is re-
markable because of the fact that a
woman, and a naturalized citizen at
that, easily defeated the liberal and
labor candidates, both men.
In Amelica the "Langhornes of Vir-
ginia" have long typified beauty and
aristocracy. Mrs. Charles Dana Glib
son, wife of the famous artist and
sister of Lady Aston, was the original
Gibson Girl" Lady Aston has been
a social success in England, she and
the present Viscount Astor enjoying
popularity denied to the former Wis
count. No content with having cen
quered British prejudice in other ways
while doing philanthropic work on a
large scale, she entered politics and
will be the first woman to become an
active member Of the British Par
Lament.
Birmingham takes more than
passing interest in the career of Lady
Astor, for there are number Of peo-
pie here, former Virginians, and
Others, who have known her from
girlhood To them she is still Nancy
Langhorne or Nancy Astor, and
