Baldwin Pushing Ahead-Baldwin county, not satisfied with the progress that she is making in raising satsumas, is now demand ing better roads. It's dollars to doughnuts that she gets them. Our friend, Bob Vail, has been broadcasting to the world the virtue of his satsumas, and now we expect him to begin telling people about what wonderful roads they have down that way. Fact of the matter is, Bob thinks that everything Baldwin has is better than; what other com munities have, and while he can put it all over on us on satsumas, we, can beat the life out of him raising cotton up here in Madison.

 Unfair To Democratic Party-The Age Herald has recently operated on the Mont gomerF Advertiser about the Advertisers con- sistentpolicy here of late in deliberately try ing to connect certain prominent Democrats with the Teapot affair. The Age Herald says that when the Advertiser tries to connect such men as Franklin K. Lane, Lindly NJ. Garrison and W. c. McAdoo with the oil scandal, it is reflecting on Sthe cabinet of President Wilson, and hence on the Demo cratic party. We have always maintained that attacks of Democratic newspapers on men like McAdoo were unfair and unealled for. If the Democratic party had anything to do with the affair it will be brought out in due intercollegiate Sun. ia Warning To Young PeOple.--Most of the young people would get dizzy if they went the rounds that high society is teaching now adays.

 1 Year Of Legislative Inactivity. y.-One year from today a new national administration will be ushered into office. Meanwhile, the eGmpaign, the primaries and the general cleo. tion are ahead. The country can hope for lit- tie in the way of legislative relief during this period. The sole aim and object of the men in Washington seem to be to play politics. There will be many gestures and much loud conversation, but as for results, few of them will come until after the new administration is in office and we get back to 'normality."s Today March 4, reminds us that we face a year of legislative inactivity.

 On Starting Weekly Paper.-The Jackson vile Argus is rather new venture in the field of Journalism, and its editor has decided that man who starts a weekly paper at this time belongs to the long-eared, raucus- voiced denizen of the barn yard, which pro- vokes the Lafayette Sun to say that the Argus man should not G$lassify the entire craft with himself-or similar words.-Gun- tersville Democrat.
 A Plea for Feedstuffs2SThe Daily Times whose editor came fromythe farm, has never been able to get away from the fact that we farmers should first feed ourselves before doing anything else, and along with it. see to the raising of sufficient hay, corn, oats and other feedstuffs for our livestock. Until such a program is enacted just so long will that portion of our farmers who fail to do it be under the yoke of the landlord, the mortgage holder and other forms of indebtedness.- Huntsville Times.
 What It Might Lead To.--We note that the jury commissioners of Montgomery county are making round or the country beats smelling out, possible jurymen. Don't want to give that too much publicity, because some patriot. when the next legislature meets, will want to have new department located on Goat Hill with jobs for many of the faithful as state jurymen finding ommission.-Opelika News
