Great Body of Educators
 Attending Convention

NHE Alabama Educational Asso- clation, composed for the most part of the public school teachers. principals and the representatives of the college faculties, is receiving cordial welcome from the people of Birmingham today.
 It comes to Birmingham to enter tain the convention about every three of four years. It has grown to be a large body, and it takes good-sized city to attract and make the meetings worth while. And that is what Bir- mingham likes about the frequent se- lection of this as the convention city. The oftener that it comes Birming- hams turn to be host city, the better it will be pleased.
 This weeks programme will prove animating and helpful. And certain it is that every one will go home feel ing rested from the diversion and benefited from the papers read and the open discussions.
 Notwithstand the fact that our teachers are underpaid they are hard working and faithful. There are no better in the land.

The delivery of vegetables for the market has been retarded by the rain," said W. E. Wallace. Truck loads of vegetables have been stalled in the mud on the roads in this county, and washouts on the railroads have held up our vegetables and fruit shipments from all parts of the country.
 "As yet we have not felt the rain in any other way. but if it continues the gardeners produce will be greatly affected. Many gardeners come to me with tales of woe. One man said he has had to SCOUT the neighboring fields bucket and spade in hand to rescue his plants"

Old Stone House
 Without Romance or History

WIchOut Romance or History 10 ICHMOND, Virginia, has several IN buildings of historic value, but the old stone house on East Main street is not one of them, notwith- standing the fact that colored cabmen acting as unofficial guides have woven around it legend and history asserted to be true. The building is very plain in appearance; is only one story high, and contains only three rooms. It dates from the revolutionary period, but just when it was built or who built it is not recorded. George Washington never had headquarters there; never was in the house and the only visit he paid Richmond was on the invitation of the mayor and coun- cil It was of short duration, but long enough for programme of elaborate festivity to be carried out. The hotel in which Washington stopped was on the same street of the old tone house, and less than a block and half from it, but the in- 
 sigr ificant building that is now made so much of by the ignorant guides was, it is safe to say, too mean look ling to be even pointed out. Yet the souvenir books found at the news stands of the Virginia capital some of them gotten up in de luxe style are rich in engravings and photogra- vures, and all of them exhibit the stone house, with the words under heath "Washington's Headquarters.
 Many an innocent tourist has bought copies of the books and car ried them home and told of having sat in a chair once used by Wash ington. To "cap the climax" the As- sociated Press, whose Richmond cor respondent should be well informed, and not deceived by irresponsible chroniclers, sent out a story on Wednesday relating with excitement the exploits of yeggmen who broke into the old stone house and carried off many valuable relics. It was in the early eighties that an enterpris- ing real estate agent conceived the idea of capitalizing the Washington headquarters story that was begin ming to be accepted. It had been cheap tailor shop, but becoming va- cant, it was leased as a "show place." land negro boy put in charge to take tips for explaining the alleged facts" Up to the year 1900, the les see was "coining" money, and it may be so yet. But there are we'll equipped histriographers in Rich mond and in the interest of truth they should take hand. Innocent hoaxes and fabricated history of a. harmless nature may not be worth serious action on the part of research specialists, but the old stone house yarn should not be palmed off any longer by intelligent citizens of Richmond on the Jeems."

Bob Jones

When I was in Anniston a few days ago I ran into big Bob Jones re-. ylval," said J. L. Drennen. who has just returned from that city, "and the people of Anniston are as enthusiastic ever the celebrated evangelist as they were during his revival here.
 Bob Jones is sweeping the whole town before him and everybody is at tending his meetings. I saw MT. and Mrs. Loren Jones at the hotel, and also Bob Jones's wife and their handsome little boy. The whole of Anniston is interested in the revival and the evan gelist is holding one of his biggest and best meetings."

Delayed Pay

Rains have interfered with many things, but it is seldom that it rains hard enough to keep men from coming after their money, as was the case Wednesday" says L. T. Brooks.
 Many farmers are behind with the planting of their crops; that is an old cry; but to hear that it rained so hard that workmen couldn't come in and draw their money is something new, even in this state where rains are so frequent. However. the farmers will catch up, perhaps, with their lost work, and there is absolutely no doubt that the boys will catch up with their pay, so I am still an optimist."
