 Filling Up With Industries-H Sylacauga
 advances next year as she has this many of our vacant places will be covered with more industries and business houses The building of residences the past year is beginning to give relief to the long cramped living conditions.- Sylacauga News. TT 'a , Source of IrritatiOn.-Among other things 1t irritates us for brawny persons with brows moistened by labor to pause in our
 doorway and jovial infer that we don't work
 Even if we didn't work we should be con-
 mended instead of censured for getting by with it.-Dothan Eagle.
 He Can't Stop Dog ogFights.-Governor Brandon has ordered the fighting of dogs to stop. They are going to fight, Governor, just as long as there are dogs in the world, and as long as boy can say "sic him." It can't be did, Governor, and we are with the boys
 that say, 'sic him."-Centreville Press. A Tax On Information.-The postmaster
 general proposes increase of postage rates to a point that will make it impossible for people in the smaller towns to subscribe to the city dailies The question lis not so much one affecting the publication of newspapers as affecting the reading public, and as prevent ing the dissemination of information.-Mobile Register.
 Stands Low In Education.-Roger Babson, American statistician of national and inter- national repute, says: Alabama is rich in resources, possessing more natural advantage than any state in the union." This is great tribute by the great man. Yet, the fact is we find ourselves last in education anl sadly lacking in taking advantage of our splendid ortunities.-LaFayette Sun.
 Willing For Ford To Have it.-Frankly, we know nothing of it, but we are willing to ad- init that we would have no objection at all to Henry Ford becoming the owner and oper- atOr of the power companies in the southeast. There is a report in some circles that Mr. Ford has or expects to acquire majority con trol of the Alabama Power Company. We confess such move would Suit us.-Hunts- vile Times. 3
 A Discouraging Record.-Birminghaf which city already stands near the top of the list of those in which automobile accidents occur frequently, established a new record during the day and night Tuesday, when nineteen persons were injured in various ac-' cidents. One need not spend more than day around the Magic City to understand the reason why so many accidents occur there.-- Florence Times. Y t't Depicting American PeOple.-The Stone Mountain memorial will depict the hardness, the determination of the American people. History does not record greater persistence than that of the armies of the Confectionery, which fought through four years and against Overwhelming odds. The memorial is not in- tended to rekndle the hatreds of those years If such were the purpose, the citizens of the south would be the first to protest.-Mont- gomery Journal.
 WOman's Place In the WorId.-Woman's chief place in the world still is to act the necessary role of mother and housewife. She is, after all, the great home-maker of the world and of all time, and though many wom- en may take mems places and may find pleas ure and profit in business, in trades or in the professions, the greater number may be expected to stay in the homes and be the best loved members of the family around whom all home activities cling. Even in this woman is showing her capacity for doing many things well and the, one chief work of women better than any man could ever hope to do it.-An-
 nston Star.
 Interest Counts Heavily.-How interest counts. The state of Alabama will save ap- proximately $22,000 through the purchase of $600,000 worth of highway bonds of Series and c from the original buyer. This amount would have been expended had the bonds re- mained outstanding until maturity. The bonds, which have just been delivered, were bought last spring at 9SA, the present market price money from the sinking fund, which is re- quired by law to be set aside each year, Talladega Daily Home. 4 -<<-
