 Favorable Crop Uattlook.-The crops of Pickens county are good considering the latt
 spring. Cotton is good, the weed is small, bu'
 is full We believe that we will have a bis cotton crop provided the farmer is able te combat the second crop of boil weevil.-Pick- ems County Herald.
 A Curb Market Nseded.-we would like to see a curb market established in Sylacau- ga; a place where the farmers can bring their produce, display it, and where the peo- pie. can secure fresh vegetables, syrups, honey meats, etc., daily.--Sylacauga Ad- vance. LhE Means Much to Futwe,-With the con. templated improvements At the Autauga County High School that institution will ac- commodate $50 pupils. Prattville cannot af- ford to let anything stand in the way of this improvement, as it means so much to the future of this section and the county Prattville Progress sa
 'Talked fin His SIeep."-Poe immortalized 'sThe Raven" simply because the only word the bird could say was "Evermore." But it is said that on the return trip from the Dem- in his sleep, although all he said was 'Twenty-four for Underwood" DeKalb County HeraM.
 The Opportunity at Hand.-There are still six weeks of summer and the real best build ing season hasn't yet begin for 1924. There is plenty of labor and materials are off in price just now. There is no use waiting for more favorable opportunity-that very kind of an opportunity is here right now.-Flor- ence Daily News.
 sTt Won't Happen, Brother. ."-Those who have been hanging around watching for the 'Exchange Club of Lafayette" to die had better take new lease on life, for said de- mise will never occur. No organization whose only purpose is to further the inter- ssts of this town and county can afford to die It won't happen. brotheF.-LaFayette Sun.
 !; The Evolution of Travel.-Perhaps ten years from now people will be putting aside their automobiles, as they recently did their buggies and horses, and will be taking to the atrplanes for speed, thrill and pleasant travel. That day doubtless is coming, but it has not yet arrived, and until the airplane be- comes more generally adopted, the automo- bile will continue to be the great American yehicle.-Anniston Star.
 War on CorruptiOn.-John W. Davis, the nominee, has been recognized as one of the ablest and most thoroughly capable men in the Democratic party, one whose character and integrity is unassailed. and one who can and will lead the party along the lines out lined in the great address of Pat Harrison. The family fight is all over and a united party will now wage war upon corruption and official incompetence.-Selma Times Journal.
 Good Roads fin Covington.-With work on another nine miles of hard-surfaced highway leading into Brewton soon to begin, this county will in the near future have approx imately thirty miles of good roads extending along q. direct route from northeast to south west The distance from the Covlngton coun- : ty line to the Baldwin line, along the com monly used route, Is about seventy miles and the completion of the new project will mean ,that nearly one-haH of this distance can be travelled on a continuous hard-surfaced road. --Brewton Standard.
 Profits to PrOducers.-Eggs and poultry are in great demand. It so happens that they are not available in large quantities at times when they are in the greatest demand. The consequence has been that private interests were able to purchase them when they were plentiful at low prices, hold them in cold storage as long as necessary and make them available to the consumers at times when prices were high. The farmers cooperative organization should be able to do as well as private interests, to hold the products in cold storage and put them on the market as the condition of trade warrants. If it is able to do so the profit, heretofore going to pri- vate interests, will go to the producers. The experiment up to this date is interesting Montgomery Journal.
