At daybreak, June 30, President Harding will see the scenic won ders of Yellowstone Park.
 At that time, only three presi- dents will have visited that great national institution. Strange enough, the visits will have been exactly twenty years apart.
 President Arthur was at Yellow stone Park in 1883, and President Roosevelt in 1903.
 Perhaps it will be impossible for the president to play golf, but he will have ample opportu- nifty to fish, The party will ar rive at Gardiner, the northern en- trance, and proceed to the Nam moth Hot Springs Terraces. Lunch will be served at Old Faith full Inn in the upper geyser basin. Rangers have promised, the presi- den that Old Faithful will give hourly performances, and have ex- pressed belief that Giant Gayser, which sends it's water 250 feet into the air for an hour, will be in full eruption.
 In the trout streams nearby, the president will be permitted to try his luck for one hour.
 Postmaster General New has To- cated a grafter in Mexico. A sup plemental fraud order against J. M. Luna & Co. has just been is sued. This firm specialized in buying American newspapers os- tensibly to sell them to be used as wrapping paper. Letters were sent to publishers throughout the United States entering subscrip- tions to fifty copies daily and seventy-five Sunday with a promise of payment by check for S100 to be drawn upon the Royal Bank of Canada upon receipt of the first consignment.
 The scheme was similar, accord ing to Postmaster General New, to that operated last year by Ra- fael Gonzales, who was eventually denied the use of the mails.

Great for Shipping


 The opinion handed down by the state supreme court that Alabama may issue ten million dollars worth of bonds for the improve ment of the port at Mobile means that the state can proceed with one of the biggest Improvements it has ever undertaken. The proj- ect should now be carried to com- pletion as rapidly as possible in order that the state may begin as quickly as possible to profit by the fine facilities that are to be provided for shipping. It is the plan of the state harbor commis- sion to map out it's program as rapidly as possible, according to members of the commission. The members of the commission have expressed enthusiasm over the bright prospects for the future of the port and the whole state should feel the same way about it. The selection of an engineer to have charge of the work is one of the big things to be done by the commission. The right man means great deal to the rapidity and success with which the work is conducted.

Of Benefit to All

The action of the supreme court of Alabama in declaring valid the law under which the voters of the state authorized an issuance of $1O.00O,000 to improve Alabama's only seaport, in the way of pro- viding better harbor facilities, will be of benefit to the entire state, as it means that work may be started at once on the project to place Alabama's port on parity with the best in the country and to claim trade that is now being lost by reason of poor facilities. Anniston is particularly interested in the development of the harbor plant at Mobile. as this cityis be- coming greater factor in the ex- port trade of the state every year. Thousands of tons of pipe and cotton goods from this city pass through Mobile every year on the way to the Pacific coast and to Central American, South Amer ican, Mexican and Oriental points, as well as to Cuba and the Phil lippines. There has been general rejoicing that the supreme court acted favorably on the port meas- ure.

in Alabama, but in nearly every part of the South, for the encouragement and upbuilding of more friendly rela- tions and larger cooperative effort between the races. Any policy or ac- tion by the government which would tend to interfere with these move ments would be unwise and harmful. Intelligent negroes who feel a deep interest in the development of their race realize this, and understand that no supposed temporary political ad- vantage to the Republican party in other sections that might result from such action as is proposed would com- pensate for the benefits sacrificed thereby.

AN UNWISE PROPOSAL

It appears that there is likelihood of discontent at Tuskegee if the ad- ministration should appoint negro of ficials and physicians at the hospital for disabled negro war veterans at that place. When inducements were offered the government to To- cate this institution at Tuskegee, it was understood by the citizens there that white officials and physicians would be in charge. Reports came later that negroes would be appointed. These reports were followed by vigo- rous protests to the government from a committee headed by Governor Brandon that went to Washington and unwise, in that it would create race friction and cause more or less serious trouble. It is understood that this has been recognized by the thoughtful negroes of Tuskegee Institute who be- leve that such move by the govern ment as is reported to be under con- temptation would be injurious to the institute and it's work by interfering with the friendly, cooperative spirit existing between the races in that section.
 The probability of negro officials and physicians at this hospital has caused dissatisfaction among the whites not only of Tuske- gee, but throughout the state and the South. Such action by the govern ment would be unfortunate in it's in- fluence upon the friendly spirit exist ing between the races in the South, and would be of disadvantage to the negro without affecting the white race. Various constructive agencies and influences are at work, not only

Two Big State Assets Florence Heraldl


 Hon. Clyde Hendrix, retiring president of the Alabama Bank CTS association, in his address be- fore their convention referred to Muscle Shoals and the Port of Mobile as Alabama's two greatest assets, stating that they would mean more to the state than the minds of men can grasp. Men of vision will agree with Mir. Hen drix. They have already visual ized in part the potentialities of these assets. And yet. in many parts of the state. excepting the Tennessee Valley, men prominent in affairs appear totally uncon- cerned while a great corporation. bearing the name of the state within whose confines are these assets, is doing everything that hired brains. and plenty of money, can do to throttle the development of one of these assets. No wonder the people of the Tennessee Val ley, who are familiar with the facts in the case. are highly indig- nant.

On Trading nt Home

 Visualize, if you can, Evergreen legitimate trade territory, vast, rich and prosperous section, which, if properly cultivated and developed, would make Evergreen a city of 5000 population or more in few years. There's no req son why Evergreen should not be the trade center for this territory. There is large population through the country districts and surrounding villages who make a practice of driving to some trad ing center and buying large quan- titles of merchandise. There's certain amount of money in this community going to be spent each year. We are entitled to have it spent here in Evergreen, but it will require concerted ef- forts and cooperation.

 "Ain't doin' nothin' much" Ed informed him.
 The questioner was silent for a minute, as though considering this information deeply.
 What you waitin' for?" he asked later.
 "Ain't waitin' for nothin'. Jim" Ed replied. Just waitin', that's all"
