CALHOUN FARMERS
 FALLING INTO LINE
LARGEST AUDITORIUM IN ANNIS- TON WOULD NOT ACCoMMO- DATE THE NUMBER WHICH
 GATHERED TO DISCUSS COTTON

Anniston, January 10.-(Special )-The court house would not hold the farmers and those interested in the movement to come to an understanding regarding the disposal of cotton and planting of a new crop
 Capt. James Crook of Jacksonville was made chairman of the meeting and T. l.. Harvey, M. A. Smith and c. F. Doug lass, secretaries. The principal address was by the Hon. Ross Blackmon. The keynote of his address was less cotton. better prices and systematic organization to get these results. He said the spin ner need the cotton to meet the demand for the finished product and that the demand will raise the price to where it ought to be if the farmers will hold to what they have.
 His plan for a reduction of acreage is for each farmer to bind himself by ob- ligation not to plant in 1905 more than 80 per cent of the acreage planted in cotton in 1904; that a copy of the obliga- tion be sent to Judge E. F. Crook, and that for each violation of this obligation a forfeit of $5 for each excessive acre be given over for county school purposes, none of said forfeitures to be used for districts 10 and 20. of Calhoun county.
 The obligation further provides that the farmer shall not sell more 50 per cent of his cotton In September and Oc- tober and not more than one-fourth in November. The following delegates were reelected to the New Orleans conven- tion: Ross Blackmon. w. l.. Jones, T. L. Harvey. G. w. Sichelberger, and the meeting agreed to abide by the vote of the national convention.

RUMOR ABROAD OF
 BIG MASS MEETING

Pratt City, January 1o.-(Special)-Ru- nor has 1t that mass meeting VIII pc called one night this week for the pur- pose of placing full ticket in the held during the coming city campaign. So Tar Mayor Hudnall is the only announced candidate in the race for Mayor, and this movement, if it materializes, will inject some ginger" in what bids fair to be one of the dullest city campaigns in the history of Pratt City.

Lacy has made an official declaration on this point. Both of the proposed candidates are very popular in Pratt City and should they enter the race it would probably make matters lively politically in this city for the next few weeks.
 Tomorrow or next day Chairman Aird of the city democratic executive commit tee will appoint a registrar the commit tee having provided that the registration books should be opened on January IS and remain open for ten days.

ALPINE GUIDES.


The Alpine guide frequently risks
his health, strength, even his life for
persons who may have been them
selves the cause Of the peril encoun-
tered. The qualities Of a first-class
guide, says the author Of Adventures
on the Roof Of the World" include not
only skill In climbing, but the ability
to form sound conclusions in moments
Of danger. A certain climber tells an
anecdOte which bears on the tmpor-
lance Of the guides powers Of judg-
ment
A member Of the Alpine Club was
ascending a peak in company with an
Oberland guide. Part of their course
lay over a snow field which sank grad
ualy on one side, sharply ended by a
precipice on the other. The two were
walking along not far from the edge
Of this precipice when the English
man, thinking that an easier path
might be made by going still nearer
the edge, diverged a little from his
companions track. To his surprise,
the guide Immediately caught hold of
him and pulled him back with more
vigor than ceremony, well-nIgh throw
ing him down in the operation. Wrath
full, and not disinclined to return the
compliment, the Dnglishman remon-
Strated. The guides only answer was
to point to small crack, apparently
like scores Of other cracks In the neve,
which ran for some distance parallel
to the edge of the precipice.
The traveller was not satisfied, but
he was too wise man to argue while
desired summit was still some dis
lance above him. On the descent,
when the scene Of the mornings Incl
dent was reached, the guide pointed
to the crack, which had grown percep-
hbly wider.
~This marks" he said, 1.-The place
where the true snow field ends. 1 feel
certain that the ice from here to the
edge Is nothing but an unsupported
cornice hanging over the tremendous
precipice below. It might possibly
have borne your weight, though don't
think 1t would" Thereupon he struck
the neve on the farther side OF the ice
sharply with his ak. A huge mass I'M
mediately broke away, and went roar
ing down the cliff.
The traveller was full OF amazement
and admiration, and thought how
there, ON an easy mountain and in
smiling weather, he had been very
near to making himself into an ava
lanche.

Hunters Ballet May Not Stop the

The disturbing element in hunting

always, to me at least, the feeling Of
uncertainty as to whether or not I
could stop the animal II wounded 1t

average OF once In three times.
Based on my experience, therefore,
I should place the elephant first and
the rhino third after the seladang,
which Is fully az formidable as the
Cape buffalo, and 10 miscalled the
bison all over India. Each Of these
animals is dangerous on different and
individual grounds; the elephant,

of the others, Is terrifying because of
his enormous gtrength, which stops at
no obstacle, and the extreme difficulty

some than standing ankle deep in
clinging mud in dense cover, with the
jungle crashing around you as though
the entire forest was toppling, as the
elephant you have wounded comes
smashing his way in your direction.
The seladang is dangerous partly be-
cause Of the thick jungle he seeks
when wounded, but more especially
because Of his tremendous vitality and
his usual, though not invariable, habit
Of awaiting the hunter on his tracks
and charging suddenly, swiftly and
vlciously. It requires close and hard
shooting to bring down one Of these
six-foot specimens Of oriental cattle.
The danger Of the tiger and of the
lion is in their lightning activity and
ferocious strength; but you have the
shoulder, in addition to the head shot,
If broadside; or, IL coming on, the
chest, all sure to stop If well placed.
The reason the rhino 10 so formidable
Is because Its vulnerable spots are so
hard to reach. Its brain is as small
in proportion as that Of the elephant,
and may be reached through the eye

He Got Right On.


It Is a thankless and sometimes diff
cult task to wake a sleeper in the
morning so effectively that he will get
up at once, yet it may be done, safely
and effectually, by any one who will
follow simple plan recently described
in the Rochester Herald.
A man put up for the night at the
leading hotel in a small town, and be-
fore retiring left instructions to be
called in time for an early train. In
the morning he was disturbed at an
early hour by laundering tattoo upon
his door.
"Well" he demanded, sleepily, and
not very pleasantly.
1--WE got an important message for
you," replied a youthful voice from the
corridor.
The man was up in an instant; he
opened the door and received from the
bell boy large envelope. He opened
it hastily. Inside, on a small slip of
paper, was written in large letters:
This is the time you wanted to get
up"

Coal Mine Has q Chapel.

One Of the most remarkable places
Of worship in the world is the Miners
chapel in Myndd Mingdd colliery,
Swansea, Wales, where for more than
fifty years the workers have each
morning assembled for worship.
This sanctuary is situated close to
the bottom of the shaft. The only
light is that obtained from a solitary
DaVy safety lamp hung over the pull
pit from the ceiling, and the oldest
miner in the colliery is generally cho-
sen to officiate.
1t is the custom in some other places
for coal miners to gather together at
meal times for prayer meetings and
the like. but it is said that this is the
only instance where a special apart,
ment is fitted out in q coal mine as O
