 Working for Good .Roads.--Organizatio ot the Madison County Good Roads Associn. ton, and through its functioning, we expee, to see much good come, ,-both as to trunk line and lateral roads. We must keep on keeping on until we get a good road over every foot of public sround.-- Huntsville Times.
 Going Right Ahoad.-Talladega doesn't have to wait on booms and temporary spasms. She just goes on paving streets and getting new gas and water. She just presses gently on the accelerator all the time; and plays politics and baseball after the crops are laid by-Tanadega 4Daily Home. 3s -As<= ,-
 Getting Closer Together.-The good roads leading to and from Cullman from the Twin Cities are getting better every day. The two : capitals of two great counties are getting closer and closer together every day, and ii is to be hoped that the people will continue ' to grow closer and closer together as the years pass-Albany- Decatur Daily. No Finer Bunch.-There is no finer bunch of fellows on. earth than the members of the Alabama Press Association and they never fail to make q good impression upon the peo- pie wherever they go. Over in Florence both the newspaper men and the people of Flor enee were delighted with the meeting of last week.-Huntsville Star. es
 The Hen to the Rescue.--It took approx. imately one-sixth of the cotton crop pro. duced in Blount county last year to pay fs- the gasoline consumed, in the county, and another one-sixth, of it to pay for the ns~ cars bought and the [ repair bills. What. would we do if the old hen did not help us scratch for living ?-oneonta Southern Democrat. ss
 Education Stops Lymching.--In the South greater consideration is being shown the va rious clements that make the citizenship. Bet ter facilities for the education of the ne. grocs are being provided. These facilities are far below the needs, but as time goes by they will be increased. Education will do more to remove the curse of lynching than all the anti-lynch laws that could be writ Montgomery Journal. -.
 Citizens CO-opcratiofl Needed-To keep up the work that is started by the health au- thorities should be the aim of all citizens. Therein lies the real solution to the trouble that the mosquitoes and other insects bring If the fight against them is continued at all times by the people of this district along the lines laid out by the authorities, there would be little or no danger from that source, -Gadsden Times-News.
 Fine Opportunities -Offored.-This place offers exceptional opportunity for industries that are able to finance themselves. There is prospect of improved navigation facilities on Tennessee river, but it is now sufficient : to move freight, except when the water is very low Industries are locating at inland towns all around us, and it must not be tho fault of location, but because sufficient urg. ency is lacking on our part. We are all too we'll satisfied -Guntersyille Democrat.
 Trying Out Crushed LimestOne.-The Ten nessee Coal & Iron Company and the Nc : Donough Ore & Mining Company will give. q carload of crushed limestone to each eoun. ty in the state, one car to the county. This limestone will be sent free of charge to tbe county agricultural agent for distribution % , those who want it. The railroads will trans ,, port it free to the counties. There is much land in Butler that needs the lime, and if it is used as an experiment and found to be all that is expected of 1t there will be more used in the future.-Greenville Advocate.
 Drawing From Many States.-An observ- ing Florence autoist last Sunday in driving around the Tri-Citics counted license tags or cars representing twenty-one other states be- sides Alabama. Of course the nearby statess Tennessee and Mississippi, predominated tI the number of cars seen, and many from other Southern states were seen, but it was q noticeable fact that many far-away states were represented. It H'euld be safe to say that practically all of these were drawn here by the magic name of Muscle Shoals, the peOplc coming hundreds of miles to see the great proiect The visit of these tourists means much more than their casual passing and the small benefit to the communities that comes during their brief stay. It is sur prising how many of them return here later to become citizens.-Florence Times.
