THE COPELAND BOOM

One account Of the partial
eclipse which has struck the Nc
Adoo boom, the name of Senator
Copeland of New York is being
brought forward as the next big
White Hope of the socalled Pro-
gressives in the Democratic Par
ty. Just what progressive
measures" Senator Copeland has
ever espoused or pushed along TO
fruition is not disclosed by those
who are sponsoring his cause as
the "most available progressive
in the Democratic Party"
An inventory of Copeland's
past associations and affiliations
reveals that he was at one time a
shouting Republican and under
went conversion to Democracy
only after he was transplanted
from Michigan to New YORK.
Among his other varied connec-
tions and accomplishments he is
described as treasurer of the Ma
tional Board of Control of the
Epworth League, a member of
the Friendly Sons of st. Patrick,
member of the Knights Templar,
the Mystic Shrine, the Stationary
Engineers, the Knights of the
Maccabees and a truculent agent
of William Randolph Hearst in all
of his walks and ways.-Selma

MAY DEVELOP BIG
OYSTER INDUSTRY

ATLANTA, March 1.-THE oys-
ter industry in Georgia may soon
be developed on a large scale.
State Game Warden Paul Twitty
is investigating the matter with a
view of interesting investors to en-
ter the field on the coast of this
state. AS a result, Georgia may be
eventually one of the most impor-
tant centers and markets in the
country for the sale of oysters.
1t is claimed that the oyster from
the coast of Georgia is just as good
as any raised in any section of the
nation, but for some reason, the IN
dustry has been allowed to go un-
developed and through this lethargy
thousands upon thousands of dollars
have been lost.

Barnum Quit Drinking

Barnum, the circus man, IN
his old age made a speech in
which he gave this description
of the popularity of liquor when
he was boy, along about 1920:
Everybody had barrels of
cider in their cellars and drank
cider spirits called 'gumption.
Professors of religion and the
clergy all drank liquor. They
drank it in all the hat and comb
shops, the farmers had it at hay
and harvest times. Every sort
of excuse was made for being
treated. A new journeynan
must give a pint or quart of
rum to pay his footing. IF a
man had a new coat he must
sponge it by treating. Even
at funerals the clergy, mourners
and friends drank liquor. At
public vendues the auctioneer
held a bottle of liquor in his
hand and when bidding Jagged
he would cry, "A dram to the
next bidder. The bid would be
raised cent. and the bidder
would take his boldly and be
the envy of most of the others. .
Raised in this atmosphere ol
universal drinking. Barnum
drank more or less until he was
81. Then he signed the pledge,
went to his cellar and emptied
his bottles upon the ground. ac.

r. Werner. Thereafter Barnum
was a temperance worker, un-
til he died So years later. Nu-
merous times he took the plat
form to lecture

GEORGIA INSPIRES ALABAMA

Commenting on the increasing
interest in raising poultry and
dairy stock in Georgia of late,
the Admission Star says: Sup
pose we get busy in Alabama ana
show Georgia a thing or two
about poultry raising and dairy
farming. All that is needed is
for Alabama people to give a lit
tie thought to better cows, better
dairying methods, better chickens
and better care of chickens, ana
the result soon would be seen in
the larger production" This is
excellent advice, which some parts
of the state and some branches of
agriculture are already observing.
There cannot be too much of it.
The value of improving the
source of supply is time and again
demonstrated by experience,
whether it be in the livestock in
dustry, poultry raising, horticul-
ture, general farming or some
agricultural speciality. RAISING
the standards IN the agricultural
industry is good business. 1t is
gratifying to note the increasing
number of producers who are
coming to realize the Importance
of quality and of yield per acre
at the minimum cost. In farming,
as in every other industry. a dol
lar saved is a dollar earned.
Farming is Alabama's most i'm
portant industry, yet it has by
no means begun to approach its
limits of development and expan-
sion. 1t is our most permanent
resource, and comprises the most
prolific socrce of future wealth
and prosperity. Birmingham

Pathetic stories come from Ger

collapse of the value of the mark.

Steadily man conquers the ele-
