Football Team Hard at Work for North
 Carolina Game Next Monday.

Auburn. Ala. November 11-(Specal.)- Tomorrow Auburn's football team VII play the Parks High 7sschool team at Lafayette, Ala. The game will be played on the school grounds of the Parks school, and, of course, it will not be much more than a practice game for Auburn.
 On Monday, however, Auburn plays prob ably the strongest team 1t will meet this season-the University of North Carolina. This team is an exceedingly strong one, and from all the prospects 1t will be a battle royal Reduced rates for the game have been given by all the roads running into Auburn and opelika, and a very large crowd is expected to be present. =
 IL Is almost needless to say that Auburn is working like mad to get in the best pos- sible condition for this game Besides the excellent instruction of Coach Heisman. Auburn now has a number of her star players of former years back, playing on the scrub and coaching the men in their individual positions Among them are Billy Williams and Harry" Smith, two of Auburn's old half backs who have bril- liant records behind them. Then there are Halcome and Wills, two players who in the past did splendid work at quarter back.

NEW RAILROAD LINE.
Florence and Gulf Line Project Again
 Assuming Form.

Florence, Novemoel 4-.-(special.) )-Mueh interest is now cente ing in the preoarations for beginning the erection of the Florence and Gulf railroad, which will connect this city with Mobile. Several years ago the state legislature authorized and paid for survey of the proposed line and appointed directors to work up the project The promoterse have not pushed the matter until within the past few months, when it was taken up and is now being pushed with considerable vigor.
 Hon. R. T. Simpson, Jr. who is the rep resentatiye of the road for Lauderdale and Colbert counties, was seen by The Age-Her- aid correspondent today and explained the scheme fully. A representative has been appointed in each county to work up n- terest and secure the rights of way through their respective districts, and this work is now going on very satisfactorily. The line will cross the Tennessee river at this place, and no trouble will be experienced in getting the necessary rights in this city. MT. Simpson is now engaged ill working Colbert county, and Is very sanguine of the ultimate building of the road. The survey taps the great coal fields at Tuscaloosa. runs through the long-leaf yellow pine re- zion and the fertile black lands of the southern part of the state and connects the Tennessee river with the Gulf of Mex ico, thus giving direct water route to Mexico, Central America and the West h. dies.
 It is also contemplated by the moneyed men behind the deal to make the line an air route from Mobile to Chicago within short time after it is completed as far as Florence. The plan is not a mere chimera calculated to create enthusiasm, but is en- tirely feasible and very probable of ac- complishment. The line will be of incal- culable benefit to Florence, which will nat urally be the great distributing point for the road, and will easily become one of the greatest southern trunk lines.

ADDRESS TO THE
 ALABAMA FARMERS
Commissioner Culver Delivers Wholesome Advice to Planters.
DIvERSlfICATIoN OF CROPS
The Low Price of Cotton Has Come to Stay for Some Time, and the All
 Cotton System of Planting
 Must be Abandoned

Montgomery, November 11.-(Special)- Hon. I. F. Culver, state commissioner of ag- riculture has issued the following address to the farmers of the state:
 'grhe time has come when 1t is an actual necessity for the farmers of Alabama to about face and change their mode of farm ing. Low price cotton for a time at least, is here to stay. Texas, Indian Territory and Oklahoma will in the near future gather from five to six million bales of cot ton. The older states, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama will have to abandon the all cotton systems and go at something else, for we cannot compete with the rich lands of the west and raise cotton at and cents per pound. Then what shall we do? Turn our atten- ton to the raising of stock and thereby the improving and building up of our worn out lands more stock means more manure and the improvement of our soils; we should not plant any land in cotton that will not make from one half to one and half bales per acre, enabling us to raise from fifteen to twenty-five bales to the blow. What kinds of stock should we raise? First. plenty of hogs for bountiful supply of meat. Second, mules and horses for our own use. Third and most important beef cattle. Now is the time, as nearly all of the Ascrubs have been shipped from the state to the west to be fattened and re- turned to us again as Kansas City beef, for us to go to work to improve our breeds of cattle by shipping thoroughbreds of the Red Poll, Poll Angus, Short Horn and other pure breeds, to cross on 1T best na- tlVes. With proper care and management we gan raise stock at two years old to to 1
 $26 to $40 per head. I know of one farmer, living near Livingston, who has purchased -PoIl to improve his stock for raising peer cattle that will at eighteen months old weigh 990 pounds.
 feWlth Bermuda grass for summer and Johnson grass for the winter, cotton seed meal and hulls for fattening, we can put tWo-year-old steers on the market that will pripg us from $25 to $40, then we can make some money, and at the same time build up our worn lands.
 TO begin this work we must cooperate by coming together and discussing the pest plan and mode of operation, as to the best breeds and how to import them Rv cooperation we can ship one carload of caves as an experiment. l think it better to purchase calves for several reasons: they are cheaper, and there will be risk In getting them acclimatd.
 'sDr. G. A. Curry our veterinarian at Auburn will cooperate with us by giving hrsANaluable aid and experience. I am of the opinion that we can interest the rail- roads so as to get the first carload free of freight charges.
 TO test the matter I will call meeting OF all parties inteersted in the improyement or the breeds of cattle to meet in Mont gomery at the capitol on the third day of December. An address will be made by Dr. Cary, of Auburn, and others on improve ment Of cattle breeding in the state.''
