 Underw00ds Political Plans- Senator Un-
 derwood is saying that no one has been au-
 thorized to state that he would not be q
 candidate to succeed himself as United States
 senator, and intimates that he has no inten-
 tion of voluntarily retiring from public life. 1 He must be counting on the next legislature
 taking his case in hand, for the senator can
 hardly make it any other way. But we be- Ilieve che legislature is now ashamed of what l it endeayored to do for Mir. Underwood in the
 late presidential preferential primary. If 1t
 isn't. it ought to be.-Greensboro Watch

 1 Value of Alabama Lands. 1.-The Geotgia commissioner of agriculture pAts it neatly
 when he says our country combines the best | of profits with the best of homes. We may have bad laws. but we can change them we may have some poor land, but it responds Ereadily to good and intelligent treatment. We read of the northern and western farms worth $200 per acre, with the snow and bliz- zards thrown in. and we know that we can match every advantage they have and offer homes among the best people in the world. As soon as they really know this they will | be grabbing our land-Blockton Enterprise.
 Ietitlse Boys Lead the way.--If the farm lers of Pfckens county will turn a boy and flew acres of land over to County Agent Row, lit won't De long till the boy will be showing the old man something he has sanot learned by years of tOn and experienceAhow to make profit on farm products. The club work among tho boys of the county will do more | to develop this county than, anything that can be done. It may take time and money to do it, but it will pay a hundred fold in the end. The county commissioners are to be con- graduated on keeping up this great work, and the coming generation wi1 rise up to call them blessed-Pickens County Herald.

 How Andalusia Spruces Hp.--n you hear a rattle of moving machine near your res idence do not sniff the air for the aroma of new mown hay, nor fancy yourself back on the old plantation in some distant state in hay-making time. For the chances are what you hear is the mower now being operated by Dr. Kearley who is taking orders from the ladies of the Civics Club who are making a last ditch fight against weeds on the streets and vacant lots in Andalusia. These ladies are helping the appearance of the city, and if you are not a tight wad you should dig down in your pocket and get ont few iron men and send them to Mrs. W. F. Simmons who is receiving the money with which to finance this clean-up campaign for Anda- lusia.-Andalusia Star. W
 Barring Visitors on Eurlay.-We have no criticism to make of the Management at the dam that is debarring ocaIsightseers on Sun, days. It is merely carrying to its logical con clusion the very thing that our people inau- gurated. If it doesn't suit us, it serves us right. But for the tourist visitor we would plead for more consideration. He has no Responsibility for the local situation. He comes here with no knowledge of the i'm passe. In many instances he doubtless comes just for the day and finds himself deprived of the pleasure he anticipated, when he fs in no manner at fault. We submit that this in- discriminate punishment in a retaiiatory measure on the home folks is m injustice that ought not to be permitted. The men in charge at the dam, being @my officers, fully realize the injustice of cakrying the war to the non-combatant and ssould not indulge in the ignoble practice. Strike back at the enemy all you like and we will offer no crit icism, but don't include the innocent travelling public in the objectiyes of your campaign Florence News.
