 To the Farmers, Merchants. Bankers
 and Professional Men of Lee Coun-
 ty:
 The time to organize and take steps for the preservation of the interests of the people of the South is upon us. If we are to enjoy the fruits of our labors and reap the rewards that are justly ours, something must be done and done by the people of the South in an organized capacity.
 Throughout the cotton belt ruin, ab- solute, stares us in the face. The people are organizing in each of the cotton ginning States. The Commis- sioner of Agriculture in Alabama has called on the people of this State to assemble in their respective counties on 10th day of January, 1905, with the view to forming County organizations looking to the proper mode of dispos- ing of the cotton on hand and also for the further purpose of securing a ma- terial reduction in the acreage to be planted in cotton next year.
 In pursuance of this call by our ag- ricultural commissioners we, the un- dersigned farmers of Lee County. hereby urge every man in the Coun ty who has the interests of himself and of the people of the South at heart. and who can possibly do so, to assem- ble with us in the court house in Ope- lika, Ala. at II o'clock a. m. on Tues day the 10th day of January, 1905, for the purpose of forming County or- ganization.

LONDON, Sept, l6,-Advices from

much interest has been aroused there
by the Jews that an ancient dagger.

is at present in possession Of the
public trustee of that city. The wet.

Gus dance in public for the delight
of the pale face.
The remarkable barbaric ceremony
has never before been given in any
city in the southwest. Fire dances
have been given, but they give only a
faint idea of the welrdness and pic
tu|resqueness and horribleness OF the
labecha. The Indians, writhing and
twisting, and with noises which make
chills run down the spine, dance ar
ound a great burning pyramid Of logs
thirty feet high and beat each others
bare backs with flaming torches Of
bark.
Bear Face Is perhaps the most
prominent man in the Navajo nation,
He gets his name from thte fact that
during a fight to the death with an
imense cinnamon bear in the wilds
of the reservation the brute tore a
gaping hole in the Indians cheek,
which still remains. His peculiar
Disagreement ha saided not a little
in giving him his prestige among his
fellow Indians.
