Estimating Votes With New
 Amendment a Reality

M0O matter what snags the equal AN suffrage amendment may en- counter between now and November, it will be duly ratified and 26,833, ,566 women voters will be entitled to cast the ballot.
 Political statisticians will be busy figuring out forecast of the next popular vote. Not all women will exercise the privilege of casting the ballot, just as only a portion of the male population of voting age are found at the polls.
 In 1916 the total vote was 1S,502,- 6s5. In 1912 it was 15,036,5 ,533. The effect of women exercising the vot- ing privilege will be stimulating to the body polite. But just what per centage of the women will vote in 1920 will be largely guesswork. Four years hence when the women are used to going to the polls, a larger turnout will be expected. At any rate, the statisticians will find the game of forecasting presidential elections all the more interesting as the years pass by.
 As the situation stands today, as sum;ng that the Tennessee vote in the lower house of the legislature will be cleared up, it looks markedly bright for Cox and Roosevelt.

ISLE OF BEAUTY. FARE THEE WELL

By Thomas Haynes Boyly. Shades of ev'ning close not OCT us, Leave our lonely bark a while; Morn. alas. will not restore us
 Yondsr dim and distant isle. Still my fancy can discover
 Sunny spots where friends may
 dwell; Darker shadows round us hover
 Isle of Beauty, fare thee well. 'Tis the hour when happy faces
 Smile around the taper's light: Who will fill our vacant placesf
 Who will sing our songs tonight? Through the mists that float above us. Fainty sounds the vesper bell. Like avcice from those who love us. Breathing fondly, fare thee we'll, When the waves are round me break
 ing.
 As l pace the deck alone, And my eye is vainly seeking Some green leaf to rest upsn; When on that dear land I ponder.
 Where my old companions dwell. Abssnce makes the heart grow fonder- Isls of Beauty. fare thee wslll

 Wrangel is a soldier who gives his at- tention primarily to military problems He has built up well disciplined force and he encourages the civilian popula- ton in the area which he occupies to govern themselves as far as possible. The four Cossacll republics are to control their own domestic affairs. wrangel is to have charge of foreign relations and military operations.
 The new anti-bolshevik leader has shown his quality :r holding the Crimea and gradually reviving the fighting spirit of the south Russians, broken by Deni- Zines fiasco. He can easily be aided by the French, since the water route to Se- bastopol is open. Wrangel is apparently not imperialist in sentiment or an in- tractable ail-Russian, as Denikine and Kolchak were. He aims at giving Rus sia a moderate, popular government, na- tionalistic in chars cter, ready to reas- sume international responsibilities and to discharge Russian obligations to the rest of the world

 Decatur is getting to be favorite filibuster resort and when Tennessee gets into scrappy mood the popu- lar Alabama city is the mecca of our sister state.
 In this particular case it is hoped the filibuster will soon come to peaceful end that the nineteenth amendment will be duly proclaimed by the President of the United States.

regulated in Scotland than in England. By the Forbes Mackenzie act the sa- looms in Scotland had to close at l D. m while those in England could keep open till 1 o'clock in the morning. The country further enjoyed the right of local option, by which the inhabitants of any given district could vote their territory dry.
 But the Scots are ard-headed race and do little without due and mature reflection. They are also credited with excellent business instincts. A cynical Englishman once' defined a Scotsman ."as a man who keeps the Sabbath and anything else he can lay his hands on.H Though the definition is calumny it Is certain that the inha bitants of north Britain wilk think twice before they deliberately kill an industry that brings in hundreds of millions of dol. lars. The Aptisaloon League is cred ited with the intention of undertaking a crusade to put Britain dry but II has a long row to hoe before it car kill the manufacture of ''uisgabaigh" north of the Tw eed.

A Distinct Advantage

"The Safety First meet held Satur- day accomplish distinct purpose and will result in great amount of good,' said Bob Kyle. The members of the teams and the spectators alike were brought to realize that proficiency in the art of first aid was a distinct ad- vantage that will result in the saving Of life and the alleyiaion of pain.
 This message, given to the men in talks, will go home with them to their families and become a fixed principle that will work to the lessening of &C., cidents in mines and the loss of life from those accidents that do occur It was estimated by one of the doctors that at least Paper cent of the cases of disability and death from mine ac- cidents could be avoided if competent help could have been given the suf- ferer at once"

A. to the wooren Goods

Despite persistent rumors which in the main are largely political the prices of woolen goods. particularly mems clothing, will not be reduced this fall said Ryan Mullane. "Informa : ton from reliable sources are to the effect that prices in the fall will have an upward tendency rather than de- cline.
 However, that is In the future. In this connection desire to say that today mems woolen goods can be pur- chased in Birmingham at less than the retail merchant will be able to pur- chase them for in the fall. This is not an extravagant statement. but one that can be fully substantiated. The moral is buy now"

Hearing Rich Fruit

The seventy-fiv e-million dollar" cam paign of the Southern Baptists is already bearing rich fruit" said Dr. L. L. Glawt- ney, editor of the Alabama Baptist. flor on August F nearly fifty missionary workers were sent out by the foreign mis- sion board of the Southern Baptist Con- vention, with headquarters at Richmond, Va, on the Canadian steamer Empress or Japan, sailing from Vancouver.
 While we are interested in them all, naturally we hold little closer to those from Alabama, Isaac T. Thomas. Green Vile; Mrs. Annie Gary Thomas, Conner, and Miss Mary Louise Bomar, Marion. The party which sailed constitutes the largest missionary pilgrimage ever sent cut by single denomination. it IS said, all coming from the ten southern and southwestern states included in southern convention territory. Among them, in addition to the evangelists are doctors, nurses, teachers, women workers and one scientific farmer. going to their posts in Japan, China and Africa
 Too Much Rain
 T find that rains are general all over the state,'' says J. L. Shropshire, trav- cling salesman. The crops are being damaged by the continued downpour. Cot ton Is perhaps suffering the most. The rain and absence of sunshine is just the right weather for the boil weevil to thrive. The cotton stalks look thrifty in most instances, but the squares and bolls are falling off
 Corn in high places looks thrifty. Corn as rule can stand more rain than cot ton or other crops. But I saw several fields of late bottom corn where the water had been standing several inches deep for week Unless it clears up this week late corn will be almost ruined. Hay and feedstuffs seem to be thriving in spite of the rain. l have noticed that the lands are being badly washed by the hard rains. Nothing is more destructive to the fertility of the soil, especially on lilly or rolling farms
