POOLE TALKS COTTON
HE ESTIMATES ALABAMA CROP AT
 1,IO0,0OO BALES.
C0mmlssiOner of Agriculture Advises Farmers Net to Sell for Less
 Than 10 Cents-G0es to Louisiana.

The cotton crop of Alabama for the present season will not exceed 1.10O,000 bales, according to q prediction made by Hon. R. R. Poole. Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries, who re- turned to Montgomery yesterday from his plantation in Marengo County.
 Mir. Poole basis his prediction on a careful review of the situation and re- ports that have come to him from several hundred correspondents of his department.
 If favorable weather continues" :" said MT. Poole the crop will be picked out within thirty days. Farmers make a mistake to sell their cotton. for less than 10 cents. Notwithstanding the rush to the market and the early open ing. of cotton, am of the opinion that a higher level of prices win be reach- ed. I believe middling cotton will be selling at 12 1-2 cents by February i.'
 Mr. Poole said that reports received by the Agricultural Department indi- cated that 97 l-2 per cent of the Ala bama crop had already opened and that 50 per cent of 1t had been picked
 The Southern Association of Agricul- tural Commissioners will meet in Baton Rouge, La, Oct. 12 and MT. Poole. as president of the Association will at- tend. He will leave Montgomery on the night of October 10.
 T estimate the total cotton crop for 1s04-05 at 10,bO0. 900 bales" said Mir. Poole and I feel sure that our Asso-. citation will not estimate 1t at over 10.- 75o.o 900 bales" a+

OF MRS. sCHRApER.

Miss Annie Kendrick Walker has in her department of The Birmingham Age-Heraid a most interesting inter view with Mrs. Marie B. Schrader of The Washington Post, who has spent the past two weeks in Montgomery the guest of Mrs. J. NJ. de Cottes. Miss Walker says the prominent interviewer consents to be interviewed, and con- tinues:
 Mrs. Marie B. schrader. the we'll known dramatic interviewer on The Washington Post, and whose name is as familiar to newspaper readers as are l those celebrities of whom she writes, is spending a few days in Birmingham en route from Montgomery to the na- tional capital. She Is the niece of the late United States Consul Robert A. Mosely of Birmingham, and is the guest of Mrs. Mosely.
 Mrs. Schrader, although she has Iiv- ed in Washington so many years, re- mains quite loyal to Alabama, her na- tive State, and has passed the summer with members of her family in the southern part of the State. The Mosely l family, distinguished both in South | Carolina and Alabama, is closely allied | to the early history of the State. and for this reason, as well as for other ties, Mrs. Schrader takes a keen inter- est in all that concerns Alabama. Mrs. Schrader, in her newspaper work, is possibly the best known of any Southern woman. For several years she has been the dramatic inter- | viewer on The Post, and her brilliant work has received many tributes from the prominent men and women in the theatrical world. Naturally she has a wealth of "reminiscences and constitutes in herself a ready symposium upon the charming people she has known.

 Civilization demands, beauty and hu- manity recognizes sentiment as an ele- nent thereof Tradition Is a mighty mower. No city, the home of human beings. can become great without certain deference to all three.

Cut bono7 He proposed to take it down. ship 1t to Chicago, set 1t up and charge a small fee for cn- trance, thereby realizing hundreds of thousands out of the investment. He recognized sentiment in the proposi- tion and shrewdly proposed to risk his money on it. The minister called Q meeting and presented the offer with out a comment. It was indignantly refused They would as soon have sold the tombstones in the churchyard that mark the graves of their fathers and mothers. This was proudly told me as I sat on the oaken bench oppo- sIte the minister of the parish. We shook hands over Cowpers table.
