 "Of all the quarantines have run into, give me Alabama's for order and civility," said C. N. Avery, Montgom- cry manager of a life insurance com pany yesterday. on his return from an extended trip East and West.
 Mir. Avery has encountered quaran- tine measures in nearly every State that has adopted them on account of yellow fever and after all he believes the home system is the most convenient to the travelling public and the most effective Not that he went of early in August to make a special study of quaran tines If the majority of. travelling men are canvassed on this Question there will be few found who care to be students of the quarantines. Yet they experi- ence a great variety of restrictions dur ing their interstate travels.
 "Over in Arkansas" continued Mir. Avery. martial law seems to almost reign on account of the fever in Lou islana and Mississippi. The militia has the protection of the State in hand. As soon as you strike one of the towns or villages. young men, sometimes boys under age, board the train in uniform with either pistol or sword suspended about their girdles. tell you 1t looks warlike. and reminds an invader that the next time his health certificate had better be fixed up right to the dotting of the Is and t's or trouble will be making sure.

MIR. ROGERS MAY RUN
hN INTERESTING RUMOR FROM WEST ALABAMA.
sumter County Senator is Regarded as l a Possible Candidate Next Year for Associate Railroad mmaisslOner.

An interesting political rumor com Ing out of West Alabama has State Senator John A. Rodgers of Sumter County as a candidate for membership On the Railroad Commission. The ru- nor does not bear the authority of a personal statement from Mir. Rodgers, but it is fortified by the assertion that many of his friends In some of the West Alabama counties are voluntarily at work in his interest.
 The statement that Mir. Rodgers will be a candidate for Railroad Commis- doner has considerable political value. Tn the first place the Sumter County Senator is one of the politically infiuen- tial men of his section and in the sec- ond place he was the floor manager of the bill In the last Senate which made the Railroad Commission elective. His activity for that bill and his attacks on the present system of freight rates in Alabama have givens grounds to the belief that he may possibly be candi- date on the Conner platform.
 His West Alabama friends are say ing that while Mir Rodgers is heart and soul a rate reformer, as his records show, he is not an impulsive extremist. If his campaign is made. they say it will be made for reform In rate con- ditions in the State, and that he may take a middle ground between the
 
 and the hot reformers who are almost ready for confiscation or Government ownership.
 In the general attention that is be- ing given the probable campaign for Governor. but little interest has gone to the campaign for members of the Railroad Commission. The selection of two members of the Commission may. however develop into the feature of the general campaign next year.
 If MT Rodgers should see it to an- nounce as a candidate for one of the places, that announcement would gall vanize interest in the Railroad Com mission fight For MT. Rodgers stands among the more prominent of the young men of the State. He has a wide circle of personal friends. he is a ready de- batter, an aggressive fighter and likes the hard knocks of a political cam paign. He is looked upon as one of those men who could take ample care of himself In rough and ready stump ing campaign.

 The effect of the disease Ia to render the victim absolutely unit for work The disease gradually wastes away the tissues, during which time the afflicted becomes a public charge.

 The Louisville and Nashville Road Is very much interested in diversified farming and is doing all 1t can 10 assist and enc Jurage the farmers along It's line to diversity their crops and get out of the old rut and produce some- thing that will bring in money at other seasons than the fall months To this end they are endeavoring to interest the farmers and truck growers in grow ing the famous Roekaford cantaloupes, which have been so profltably grown at and around Lawrenceburg, Tenn. There the farmers have been very sue cessful, and the melons have brought a much better price than those grown in any other part of the country. ana SO profitable has this crop been that several car loads were shipped from there this year. and the farmers are preparing for a much larger crop next season. The demand cannot be sup- piled. and to this end the road sent an expert in this line. Mir. John Lister, here the past week to look over the lands and make such investigate as will enable him to say to the farmers that they can successfully grow this valuable money maker. An acre of melons we'll handled will be- more prof. itable than a half dozen acres of cotton and brings in money just the time the farmers needs it most.
 Let the farmers take notice of this enterprise. for once 1t Is started and proves successful, 1t will lead to other things.
 MT. Lister talked a while last satur- day to a large crowd of our farmers on the culture and profit of cantaloupes, and he will speak again next Saturday at the Court House to our people. and we should be glad to have large au- dience out to greet him.

 one night last week as Warren Fletcher, a Rogersville darkey, was riding by a graveyard he saw a man lying on a stump, and as he drew near to the figure it arose and proceeded to ioin Warren in his ride. and with a blood freezing yell the negro gave rein to his steed, which he did not check until he reached a negro church fur- tber on the road about two miles, where he fell in the door almost unconscious and breathless. When he recovered somewhat he related the circumstance, saving he did not know where the gob- lin went The negroes of that neigh borhood will not go near the burying ground low. ana ana the the preacher when rsnIiad.

For many years past the Govern
ment of New Zealand has maintained
provision depots at various places in
the small and dangerous groups of ISL
ands in it's portion of the Pacific, with
the result that many lives have been
saved In the Auckland islands,
where the French bark Anjou recently
met her fate, depots of this description
have been established at Port Ross,
Norman Inlet and at Carnley Harbor
and finger posts at outlying points
show the positi of these depots For
the use of shipwrecked people there
are boats at the northwest end Of
Adams Island at Camp Cove, at Rose
and Enderby islands, and also in Ere
bus Cove. Twice a year the Govern
ment steamer Hinemoa visits all these
places to ascertain whether there are
any castaways from wrecked vessels
and also to renew the stores and to
effect repairs to the provision stations.
1t was while on this half-yearly cruise
that tle Hnemoa rescued the ship
wrecked crew Of the Anjou and con-
veyed them back to New Zealand after
they had been castaways on the island
for 81 days.

all that it had any legitimate reason to
expect in the County election. 1t did
not however defeat Quinn, Booth or
Lane. They would have been defeated
anyhow. The opposition to them
among the Republican rank and file
was voiced before the Civic Federation
entered the arena. Above all it is un-
