 Good tillage usually produces fair crop on ordinarily poor soil, but plant food is essential to profitable yield.
 Every bushel of corn, oats, wheat and rye, and every pound of hay consumed in Alabama should be raised by the farmers of Alabama. Each of these products can be raised in this State to better profit to the farmers than six and seven-cent cotton will give. The scarcity and present high prices now beirg paid for corn, oats and hay should be sufficient to induce every farmer in the State to raise an abundant crop of other provenders, this year, to not only furnish an ample supply for home con- sumption, but have surplus for sale or to be utilized In feeding to stock. There can be no danger in any farmer having an over supply Of any farm pro- duct Everything raised on the farm now commands good price, or can be used to a profit in feeding to live stock.
 
 Farmers are waking up. There never was so much inquiry after knowledge; there has never been so many farmers studying the problems of agriculture, as now. The business depression that still continues-the low prices at which all farm products are sold and the large increase in the price of almost every article they. buy, is enough to make every tiller of the soil put on his deep brown studying cap."
 Careful, scientific investigations give Southernraised corn higher feeding value than Northern corn. The total feeding value of fourteen crops raised in the South under the American Agri- culturalis. competition, was placed at $72

Grand SIagd

The open betting in the grand stand
at South Side Park. .once suppressed, has
broken cut again, and it has become a
nuisance. There are almost as many
women at the Athletics games as men,
and betting openly is not the thing at a
ball game.
Very often fights are caused over the
exchanges of money, and they make
things still more disagreeable. At the
game yesterday two men had some
trouble over a bet. and one man had TO
take a diamond ring from another man
before he could get his money, (which he
had fairly won.
Manager Frysinger suppressed this
kind Of work in the early part of the
season. but it has broken out again.

EVENING JOURNAL HAD THE NEWS
Had ExdIulive Wire From Philadelphia
and Issned Extras

The Every Evening yesterday printed
such remarkable story regarding Its re-
port of the baseball game between the
Wilmington A. A. and Brandywine n
Philadelphia on Monday that The Even
ms journal feels it necessary TO set it
straight IN several points.
Every Evening makes the statement
that it had the exclusive use Of special
wire and two reporters on the ground 70
report the baseball game between th
Wilmington A. A. and Brundywine in
Philadelphia on Monday. That no other
paper had similar arrangements and that
the Every Evening buuetined the plays
and runs from ten TO fifteen minutes be-
fore the Information was in the Offices OF
the other papers AS n matter of fact.
the Evening journal had an exclusive wire
from the BAH grounds TO Wilmington ana
sent two men 90 report the game. These
two men, with au operator at their side
SAT within Few fect and ln fun view of
the Every Evening reporters In the press
box III the l1Ncly Evening report of the
game was In Wilmington before that OF
the Evening journal, II was because the
Every Evening operator was swifter than
the Evening journal operator. But that
is "a debatable question.
The Evening journal not only had spe-
cial wire service, but IL had extras on the
street within fifteen minutes after the
close OF the game and from fifteen 10
twenty minutes ahead OF the Every
Evening and hundreds of people We're
first informed as TO the result OF the
game by the Evening journal extras.
About fifty neWsboys were I'm waiting foi
the extras and as soon as the press turn
ed them ont the boys scattered with
them in an directions ana8 papers wore
bought with marvellous fapidity. When
the special trains pulled IN at the Della
ware avenue b. g. o. depot boys with
big bundles OF the papers boarded them
ana by the time Market street was reach
ed, the boys had sold about 900 copies
and hurried TO the Office for another sup
ply. There We're more copies OF the
Evening journal sold than of any othel
paper because the people of Wilmington
knew that il prints the news. The prog.
ress of the game was buletned by in.
nings and each play was commented on
by the crowds which watched the bulletin

Pirates in the Gulf Stream.

London Chronicle.
Captain Luigi Montani, of the steamship
Sardegna, which mas just arrived at Ma
pies from the United States with a large
number of e.ngrants on board, recOunts
an extraordinary story of adventure.
Shortly after entering the Gulf Stream,
near the Mexican Gulf. a suspicious look
ing 0rigantine loye in sight from which
piercing cries wers heard proceeding.
Captain MOntani Immediately gave orders
for pursuit, and under a threat of sink
ing the vessel, brought her to a halt. He
then armed his crew. boarded the strange
craft, and began to search the vessel.
1t proved to be pirate ship. twenty
five pirates, who sou yht to stink away in
small boats were surrounded by an over
whelming force and captured. They were
all Caribbean negroes or creoles. Two
beautiful girls were discovered bound to
the timbers of the ship, with their mouths
gagged. and on being freed they had a
heart-rending story OF brutality to tell.
The brigantine had been seized by these
pirates, who wounded the original crew
and the captain, whose guests the girls
were, and threw them overheard. The
pirates thereupon steered the vessel,
which had large cargo Of she goats. to-
ward the Antilles. Captain Nontani ends
by saying that ne transferred the pirates
to the Sardegna. kept them In irons and
made for Boston. where he delivered them
over to the American authorities.

B. F. ELMORE RETIRES
RESIGNED AS SOLICITOR OF
FIRST JUDICIAL CIRCUIT.
Demopolis Lawyer Quits Exacting
Duties Of Office to Attend to
Private Business-Several
Applicants for Place.

The resignation OF Hon. u. F. Elmore
OF Demopolis, as Solicitor of the First
Judicial Circuit, vas received yesterday
by Governor Jelks.
In his communication to the Governor
Mr.. Elmore did not assign a reason for
resigning The resignation was clothed
in few words. 1t Is known, however. that
Mr.. Elmore retired because the duties
Of his office necessitated long and repeat
ed absences from his home.
The resignation was by no means a
surprise as it was understood that Mr..
Elmore contemplated laying down the
rather exacting duties of his office. 1t
was announced two months ago by some
OF the friends of Solicitor Gilmore that
he had resigned. This announcement,
however. proved to be premature.
At that time some four or five promi-
nent lawyers of the First Judicial Cir
cult made formal application for the va
cancy which they thought existed. Gov
ernor Jelks had not received Mr.. Elmores
resignation and the applications were not
considered. Prominent. among those who
lled applications was Hon. ]. II. Bare
field of Monroe County member of the
Constitutional Convention of last year.
Two applications were filed yesterday
for the vacancy. w. G. McCorvey, one
OF the applicants appeared in person to
submit his claims to the Governor. Mr..
McCorvey is a prominent lawyer Of Mon
roe County. An application was also filed
by w. C. Harrison of Demopolis. 1t Is
expected that a number Of other lawyers
will try for the desirable position.
Ben F. Elmore the retiring Solicitor,
Is one of the best known public men in
Alabama. He is a strong factor in po-
Iitical circles not only in South Alabama

He has an extremely large personal ac-
ouaintance. He was a leading member

Is among the best in the State.

REUNION OF BAPTISTS
FIVE CONGREGATIONS TO MEET
AT AUDITORIUM.
The Members Of Montgomery
Churches VIII Assemble on
November Z to Fraternize
and Become More Useful

The Baptists OF Montgomery are plan
ming a reunion of that denomination,
which is to take place on November at
the Auditorium.
Only a very short while ago there was
but one Baptist Church in the city. Now
there are i've and the power and infiu-
ence of that organization in the Chris
tan religion is not fully realized by many
persons particularly those who have not
observed how rapidly that church has
increased in members in the past few
years. 1t is now the leading religious
organization in Alabama in point of
numbers and in Montgomery 1t stands at
the head
The object of the meeting is for "ac-
quaintance, fraternity and unity" and a
strong plea is made for the members of
the Baptist Churches in the city for
once to get together and having once
gotten together to IMPROVE the occasion
and stay together. 1t is announced that
there will be no admission fee, no col
lection and no refreshments" 1t is also
stated that President r. G. Patrick and
Mrs. r. G.. Patrick of the Judson Insti-
tute at Marion, President Montague and
Mrs. Montague of Howard College. East
Lake; Editor Frank W. Barnett and
Mrs. Barnett of The Alabama Baptist and
Secretary Crumpton of the Home Board
of Missions will be present and it will be
an occasion long to be remembered by
every Baptist in the city.
Every Baptist in Montgomery. old and
young, rich and poor. strong and lame,
well and sick. is expected to be pres
emit" SO reads the announcement.
DIR. c. A. Stakely, pastor of the First
Baptist Church, preached powerful SER
mon Sunday along the lines OF each de-
nomination preserving it's doctrines and
each individual having salt in our
selves" He urged Baptists to stand by
their church and their religion and to be-
come The salt of the earth" if they
would but stand up to their church and
maintain it's doctrines.

CARS MUST RUN SLOW
spEEp rs TO BE REDUCED NsSAR
CITY CHURCHES.
Ordinance Passed Provides They
Shall Not Go Faster Than Three
Miles an Hour-Also APP
plies to Courts.

The City Council at its meeting last
night adopted a resolution forbiddinS
street ears from running faster tnan
three miles an hour within 100 yards OF
a church while services are being held
or within 100 yards of a court house
while court is in session.
The ordinance was presented TO the
Council at its meeting two weeks ago
by Alderman Ray Rushton. The atten-
ton Of the Council was called 10 the
ANNOYANCE suffered by ministers and con-
greeattons of several of the DOWNTOWN
churches because of the noise made by
ra pidly running street cars during church
services, by several petitions. The petit
lions from members of the congregations
and ministers asked that some remedial
LEGISLATION be enacted by the City Coun-
ell.
The recent protest by the Judges OF
the City Court and prominent lawyers
as to the laying Of tracks Of the Mont
gomery Traction Company near the
Court House at the corner of Lawrence
and Adams Streets, also had influence
upon the introduction of the ordinance.
The ordinance declares that 1t shall be
unlawful for any firm or corporation to
run or operate any street car within loo
yards of a church during services or loo
yards of a Court House while court Ia
in session at a greater rate OF speed
than three miles an hour.
The ordinance invests the sheriff and
his deputies with the powers of police
men to enforce the ordinance.
When the ordinance came up last night
for it's final passage 1t was adopted with
out a dissenting vote.

THE SOLDIERS HONE

S~&>S@~&r>
IMPROVEMENTS.
A party Of friends went with Colonel
and Mrs. ]. M. Faikner to their home
near Mountain Creek on Sunday. and a
visit to the Old Soldiers Home was the
feature Of the day.
The party received q warm welcome
from the seventeen Old soldiers who have
found a happy home there.
The rapidity with which the work pro-
crosses at the Home IL quite astonishing.
Blk new buildings in addition to those al
ready conpiete. are well on the way. The
main building. the memorial building, Is
up far enough to give q flne idea Of what
its beauty when finished. will be- The
affect Of the logs and the field stone Is
splendid. but hard to describe.
The 500 logs Of which this house is to
be built, will be fine monuments to the
memory Of the soldiers whose names
they will bear, and whose deeds will be
recorded In the book within.
1t was q happy thought of Colonel Faik-
ners to thus make this main building q
memorial hail.
1t was a delight to the friends Of Colo
mol and Mrs Falkner to stroll over the
immense grounds and learn of the plans
for this Home, the proposed system of
water works. electric lights. graveled
drivewav6. etc.
OF one very attractive cottage that is
nearly complete the following story is
told:
Two Committees were vieing with each
other In selling tickets to the Bob Tay-
Tor lecture. The one selling most tickets
was to have the privilege of naming this
cottage.
Both worked hard, and when the final
count came there was q difference as to
which had sold the most tickets. They
commended a little. each being determined
to get the cottage to bear the name Of
their choice.
when matters began to get a little Sc
rious 1t leaked out that both were fight
ing for the same name. That OF ColoneI
Fail1ner's wife-Lizzy Cameron.
Then all was peace, and cottage Lizzy
Cameron is well on the way to compile
ton; named for the woman whom the
old soldiers have learned to love SO.
