 One Serious Drawback here in proud, rich Alabama we have wey of doing things to suit ourselves. This happy condition is largely due to the fact that if necessary, we could build wall aroundv, he state and live on and on forever.-Huntsvilie Times. Yes, but we wouldn't have any ba- nanas.-Mobile Register
 Should Make Things Hum.---Dpwn at the state capital they are predicting the most prosperous year that Alabama has had in several decades, with all crops good and the promise of an excellent cotton crop at a good price. The Tennessee Valley is not behind the rest of the state in agricultural condi- tions, and the fall and winter season should make things hum in this section.-Fldrence Times.
 Sanctioning Double Taxation.-Supposina some one proposed double taxation for ma jority of people in order that minority might go tax free. Such a proposal today would cause unqualified condemnation; yet our lawmakers by refusing to- change our old laws so as, to prohibit the further issu- ance of tax exempt bonds are sanctioning the double taxation method for the masses in order that tax-exemption may be enjoyed by the few.-Andalusia Star.
 For County Manager, Too-Since the "city manager plan" has been demonstrated to be a real success, where real managers have been found to take the burden of ad- ministration, the question arises as to. the possibility of adopting the plan for the con- duet of county affairs as well. County man. agement is as much in need 6f reform as that of the cities and the manager plan offers the simplest solution of the problem presented.-- Muscle Shoals Sunday Newe
 Often Become Radicals.-The voters who do not vote have no right to complain about what happens after the election, says an ex- change. Very true, and the fellow who does vote and does rail about what happens, helps to keep the world on an even keel, although he may not be permitted to have his way. The non-voter is non-cabatant in civic af- fairs, and often degenerates into a radical and menace to the government.-Selma TimesJournal
 Fine Tomatoes on Market-The really fine variety of tomatoes are just coming into the Dothan market. Some of them are home grown, and some of them from other sec- tions, but those in the market now are per feet tomatoes, ripened evenly and are of good : flavor. Few people know the art of grow ing good tomatoes, although many people feel that they can grow them. 1t takes special care to grow them, but they should be prof ftable, in a small way, even in this section, for the most of the tomatoes eaten here are grown elsewhere, like the Irish potato.-Do- than Eagle.
 Plea for Adequate Depot.-vFor the life of us we can't see where the Southern Railways erection of monster office buifling in Bir- mingham is going to improve the miserable passenger depot situation in Greater Hunts ville It's been some time since Vice Presi dent Munson, of Cincinnati, was down here in his private car-the troubled waters were smoothed over bit then, or why not say, "soft-soaped" and now-we are ready for President Harrison to come down from Washington and start the ball rolling. We are going to have that new modern depot Why not now?-Huntsville Times. The, Farmers RalIying.-The manner in which he farmer throughout this community are rallying behind the "cow movement" is fine. Prosperity is coming on a pace, for there is no community in which dairying is any sort of an organized activity whether it is not prosperous. And remember that all who go into the dairying business prosper in proportion to their just desserts. Good COWS are the first requisite; then cheap, home grown feed Proper care and attention of the herd and other items must be watched. But here's hoping the promise now being written on Bay Minettes horizon, will pan out it is tied up with the COW, the hen and the sow.-Baldwin Times $
