 Good Roads Reduce Jealouses.--Good roads are serving to break down the petty spirit of jealousy that has formerly existed between towns and sections. Generally, the closer we get to our neighbors the more we realize that they have the same ideals and ambitions as we ourselves cultivate.-DeKalb County Her aid.
 Will Visitors Recognize It?--They are go- ing to forbid the use of court square as a parking place for cotton wagons. Wonder what Montgomery will look like with this old custom gone? Will visitors recognize the town without the hundreds of wagons lined up near the fountainf Afraid not.-Greenyille Advocate
 The Value of Pay ay-RolIs.-Andalusia should have at least four times as much money in- vested in manufacturing enterprises as she has in all other lines of business. Manufac- turing concerns provide payrolls and pay rolls sustain, the stores, the garages, the pie ture shows and the print shops and also the banks. Every community is made to feel the impetus in a business way that a good pay roll gives.-Andalusia Star.
 Plea for Co.operation.-If our people will 
 attractive, Prattville will have a great fu- ture. Hundreds of people of Montgomery will wish to build home around here, and thou sands will visit here. We can reach our goal of town of 5000 to 10000 population only by making the town and park attractive in appearance and by having improved schools. -Prattville Progress.
 A Ho4-Weather Yaxn.--Up in Greenville one farmer claims that it has been so hot an egg which was laid ina sawdust pile matched out without the aid of hen. We're willing to believe almost anything about the recent heat wave, but in this instance we're inclined to think that the heat affected the farmer reporting the occurrence more than it did any stray egg left lying in sawdust pile.-- Brewton Standard.
 Practical Lesson for ! lrm Boys----A num- Der of farm boys in Bibo county should at tend "terracing schools" schools that protect land from waste and washing away. This is badly needed in this county, and number of farms are going to waste and abandon ment for the reason that the land is not ter raced and protected. Most any school boy can learn to terrace land, a2d the coul make their schooling by learning and terracing the lands of the farmers in their respective eoun- ties.-Centreville Press.
 Can't Compete With Autos.--Street cars operated on tracks cannot compete with au- tomobiles. Speed and economy always re- ceive first consideration. The street car ean- not take a person to bis destination as fast as the automobile, neither can it be operated as economically. Street cars require heavy investment. The automobile carries com paratively small investment. Street car com ,nnfAo nrICkn nav kap aAa w,AS L. AA AA- assessment against automobiles is small. The day of the street car is in the past, and there will come time when it will disappear from all streets-Montgomery Journal.
 Fighting the Mosquitoes.-The cutting of the weeds on Andalusias vacant lots have done great deal toward improving the ap- pearance of the city and more toward keep ing away the mosquitoes. Andalusia has had fewer mosquitoes this season than in any summer since the town was organized. The cooperation of the public with the city and county health officers has had much to do with this improvement. Summer in Andalu- sia Is more pleasant than in any Southern town that we know of because we always have here strong breeze in the evening, Id when there are no mosquitoes we always reel like we are at a real summer resort--Annis- ton Star.
 Criminals Pay at Last-Men who violate the law must eventually pay for the experi- ence.- They may hire experienced lawyers and delay justice for awhile, but in the end they must pay the penalty. They may have a large number of friends and sympathizers who help them to create public sentiment in their behalf, but in the long run the law-abid- ing element wins. These facts have been dem onstrated by the members of the Mobile whis- ky ring. They fought their cases with every means at hand and even went so far as to try to besmirch the characters of the officers who prosecuted them. They declared they were being framed" and they spent a lot of money to escape the clutches of the law, but for the past few weeks they have been going into court and pleading guilty by ones, twos and threes.--Gadsden Times
