sE1 HAT Jemison and Company,
 Inc, building on the corner
 of Twenty-first street and Third avenue is a credit to Birming- ham.
 It is the most artistic piece of busi- ness architecture not only in Bir- minghan but in the south. It is worthy of Venice or Vienna.
 What a beautiful block could be made along Twenty-first stret and Third avenue up to Twenty second street of proportionate buildings ot equally good architectural design; Especially. along Twenty-first street the buildings are old and ramshack- led and would not be credit to any city.
 Birmingham is growing and its ar chitecture should take the Jemison city one of architectural merit as well as business push

Morbid Curiosity

One of the largest crowds I ever ga attend hanging was that one gathered at the courthouse Friday when two negroes were hanged in the Jefferson county jail yard said K. W. Ling.
 People seem to be more interested in murder trials and hangings now than formerly, and whenever a mur der case is being tried in the crim- inal court 1t is practically impossible to get into the courtroom. It seems to me that this is new thing, for I can remember when scarcely any one but lawyers and a few middle aged men would attend court cases. Times have certainly changed"

 Since Great Britain has made such generous concessions, would it not be the better part of wisdom for DeValera and his associates to &C., cept what has been offered, and trust time to smooth out other diff ficulties, rather than to invite dis aster by refusing?, There can be only one result if Ireland decides to fight again and that will be sub jugation. If she should adopt that course she will no longer have the sympathy of the world in her strug- gle, since public sentiment every where supports the British govern ment.

WOULD DEPARTURE TOBACCO,

VOoAD ASA1fNh OAAhI AOn<ASSCf From the Salt Lake Tribune.
 -sThe officials of the National Anti Tobacco league, whose headquarters are at Washington. are reported to be highly elated at the progress of tho success of a plan suggested by an Indian chief, than whom. according to all tradition. there should be no more able expert on the subject of tobacco and all it's works. but who. strange to say. is irrevocably op- posed to the burning of the weed the white man uses.
 Two Guns White Calf, chief of the Blackfeet tribe of Glacier National Park reservation. in Montana, is re- ported to have presented the league a concrete idea which "the league of- ficiais believe will mark their great ext stride in the nation wide move ment to rid civilization of the objec- tionable smoke that is discourteous- ly waited from millions of pipes, cigars and. cigarettes
 The chief told the leaguers that the heap stinkum smell" of stale to- bacco clouds can be neutralized and sweetened by mixing the pleasant odors of kinnikinic with tobacco. After while, Two Guns White Calf thinks, the white man would come to like this herb concoction so we'll that i he would discard tobacco and become addicted to smoking kinnikinic straight
 Two Guns White Calf crates clo- qpently in his native tongue. He never knew what being gassed was like until he made his trip to Wash ington in the interest of tribal af- fairs. The smell of the fumes oi the white mans tobacco made him sick.

 ALABAMA's FIRST CAPITAL From the Cul1man Tribune.
 Preparations are being made for holding a centennial celebration on September 14 on the spot of ground at Cahaha, on the Alabama river, where 100 years ago was held the first session of the Alabama legisla- ture in the first capital of the state. Cahaba having been selected as the location for the erection of Ala bama's first state capitol building Cahaba at that time was noted and attractive little town, but in 1926 the river flooded the town and the state capital was moved to Tusca- loosa. Today the historic acreage where stood the town of Cahaba is big plantation with one white fam fly, living there. Clifton Kirkpatrick, owner of the plantation.

TRAPPING ELEPHANTS

Temple Manning, in the Cleveland
 Plain Dealer.
 In Travancore, India, the natives have an interesting method of captur- Ing wild elephants--they trap them in pits dug in the ground.
 These pits are seldom moro than nine feet deep. because elephants able to climb out of nine-feot pit are too old to be easily trained and, conse- quently, are not wanted. The pits are filled three-auarters full of brush wood to break the elephants fall. and the mass of branches and leaves laid upon the top to conceal the pits is sufficiently strong to permit any an imal but tho elephant to cross safely It was once my good fortune to be in the vicinity of one of these pits when an elephant was caught, and my excited guide quickly led me where the hunting party was releas- ing 1t. He was . comparatively small beast. trying to scramble out of the pit, with his small, rcd eyes glaring at us and his waving trunk throwing dust all around. trumpetinE with fear and rage. But he soon discovered how futile 1t was to attempt escape, and accepted the water one of the mahouts turned down his trunk, squirting 1t down his throat and over his huge body. And then tho hunters set about gettins the elephant out of the pit and into cage. One of the mahouts got small line under the swaying neck. after in numerable failures. and a heavy cable was attached and dragged under, then thrown over the neck and drawn tight, and the other end was tied to a tree. It was then easy to get nooses over the elephants hind legs, | and the animal was ready to be re- leased from the pit.

Respect of Law

T am certainly in accord with a statement of pr. c. B. Glenn, as quoted in Sundays Age Herald. that reverence for law and authority should be taught in tho public schools" said Jim C. Smith, assistant district attorney. There can be no doubt there is too much disregard for law at present.
 "Ths trouble is people are decid- ing for themselves that laws are not good, and are not respecting those that do not please them Children should be taught to respect laws even if they do not like them. am convinced that this is practically the only way the prohibition laws will ever be properly enforccd.'

 DIsHEARTENED CONF11DERATEs From the New York Herald.
 One of the survivors of the Civil war, a man who fought in gray, dis pirited because there Is to be no reunion ot Confederate veterans this year, says;
 'It begins to look as If they were tiring of us old fellows and want to shelve us."
 Last year Savannah invited the defenders of the stars and Bars, but could entertain them only on dates unsuitable to the veterans. They went to Houston, Tex. In 1922 they will meet in Savannah. according to present plans. No city has invited the old soldiers this year, but this may be explained in any of several ways without questioning tho affec- ton of tho southerners of 1921 for the men WHO Iou6hS uhuSi i>co dhu his generals.
 It costs from s5o.oco up to enter tain the veterans, and these are hard times Convention seeking has been put on a thoroughly msrcenary basis in most cities. Merchants are told that if they subscribe to tho ex- penses of the meeting they will get a profitable trade from the visitors. Thus dates are filled up by enter prising chambers of commerce and boards of trade directed by profes- sional, salarisd boosters who have to make showing for their pay. Senti- ment cuts no figure with them. and the towns which seek conventions are pretty completely in their grip Sometimes they miss things of real importance when they isnore spir- itual values. <
 Perhaps the Confederates will make up their minds next year that they were lucky not to meet in 1921. Rail- road fares and hotel rates may be down by the time they go to Savan- nah. Meanwhile they have the great reunion at Gettysburg in 1913 to look back upon. It marked the end of 8 chapter. but it did not mean, unless they have sadly changed. that south ern men and women have lost inter. est in the fightery for the lost cause
