A Challenge To Shelby County. "A Walker county man claims to havo found talking
 snake. It said Hello" It is up to Shelby
 county to beat it-Blocton Enterprise l There's A Reason.-The presidents recom- mendation regarding the sugar tariff, both trials of Colonel Forbes, the Nal Daugherty case and the Sinclair oil suit have all been postponed until after November 4. There's q reasdn Mobile Register.
 l Alabama Should Have Exhibit.-Alabama should have an exhibit at the Southern Expo sition in New York. We are not ashamed of Alabama and should not keep from others the facts about this state.-Montgomery Journal.
 w. Underwood was buried in effigy by the Jefferson. county K. K. K., fast week. The friends of the senator are glad that it was just make-believe funeral.-C Centreville Press.
 Marketing Cotton Slowly-The farmers
 throughout the statesare marketing their cot ton slowly this year, with the belief that the price will advance. They are right and there is no use in placing the entire crop on the Ilar-
 ket and thus depress the price of the staple.- I 4f from time to time the remark that it is d
 hard thing to bring crowds to Sheffield and Tuscumbia, but every time it iS tried with sincere effort and the trip is worth while, for either business or pleasure, and 1t is given publicity we notice that generally there is lrather good crowd on hand.-TuscumbiA
 Times.
 I Not Really Impartial.-The people don't hwant an impartial commission to have charge tof Muscle Shoals. They want commission |that will be partial to the public welfare, says 1.-the Birmingham Age Herald. No. Those irn-; ] partial things are so much like the commit tees that used to be appointed at old-fashioned Democratic conventions to go out and report | the Constitution, bylaws, and name the candi- dates !-Talladega Home. f :. Would Make Motoring Dangerous.-0ne of the strongest arguments against letting down Ethe prohibition bars even in very small way, is that motoring would be made more dangerous and therefore the lives of many
 people would be endangered. The open saloon
 now would be impossible. No one who drives
 car would consent to have the menace of
 the saloon destroy the safsty of the highways,
 as it inevitably would dog Motoring is suffi-
 ciently dangerous now, with many careless
 and reckless drivers and speeders, butit would be infinitely more dangerous if every tenth ldriver was drunk, and open saloons would
 mean probably that high percentage.-Hunts- vile Times.
 "The Journalistic Twins."-The Birming- ham News and the Montgomery Advertiser, .l Alabama's justly famous "gold dust twins" have been strangely quiet since "our Oscar" tlturned deaf ear to his prohibition friends land became famous the country over as political performer with trained ring master who knew how to say Alabama A. but nothing else. But they air their conyic- ltions in, the news stories at every opportunity. On last Thursday, the klansmen held a eel lebration in Birmingham and burned the esti- mable Oscar in effigy. The News, in com
 menting on the episode said ''they do not for get that MT. Underwood was elected by 24ss I000." We rise to inquire twenty-four thou sand what?-Jasper Mountain Eagle. ssc <
