PAID YOUR POLL TAX?
THE TIME LIMIT WILL EXPIRE ON
 FEBRUARY 1sT,
If the Dollar and Half is Not Paid Then the Voter Cannot Vote In
 Municipal Primary.
Have you paid your poll tax2

Have you paid your poll tax?
 Poll tax must,be paid by February l.. There are only couple of weeks left for the payment of poll taxes. And if the poll tax Is not paid the careless man will not be able to participate Ih the municipal campaign that Is coming on apace in Montgomery. It Is only a dollar and half, but If that dollar and a half is not paid the man who fails to pay 1t will have to stand aside and look on, no matter how hot Montgomery municipal political fight gets this spring.
 The constitution provides that the man who fails to pay his poll tax can not vote in any county. municipal, State or national election.
 There will be another registration of the voters of the city of Montgomery during the approaching municipal cam paign. Only those that are registered can take part in the election and those who have not paid their-pol taxes can not be registered for the municipal pri- mary in April at which the Mayor and the aldermen of the city of Montgom- cry are selected
 The payment of poll tax at the of flee of Tax Collector George w. Halls has increased in the past two or three weeks. Some of the local politicians have seen in this increase a lively awakening to the possibilities of the approaching city campaigh. It has been said that those voters who have hereto fore taken the most active interest in local politics and who have usually been on the winning side nave already at- tended to the important detail of pay- ing their poll tax

HABITS CHAIN.
Certain Habits UBcOnsciOusIy Formed
 and Hard to Break.

An ingenious philosopher estimates that the amount of will power neces- sary to break a lifelong habit would If it could be transformed. lift a weight of many tons.
 It sometimes requires higher de- gree of heroism to break the chains of a pernicious habit than to lead a for lorn hope in a bloody battle. A lady writes from an Indiana town:
 From my earliest childhood was q lover of coffee Before I was out of my teens I was a miserable .dyspeptic. suffering terribly at times with my stomach.
 q was convinced that it was coffee that was causing the trouble and yet l could not deny myself cup for break fast At the age of S6 l was in very poor health. My sister told me I was in danger of becoming a coffee drunk ard.
 But I never could give up drinking coffee for breakfast although 1t kept me constantly i'll, until l tried Postum. I learned to make 1t properly according to directions and now we can hardly do without Postum for breakfast, and care nothing at all for coffee.
 T am no longer troubled with dys- pepsia, do not have spells of suffering with my stomach that used to trouble me so when I drank coffee" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.

RAISING HAY AND STOCK
 IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY
Experts Say That Alfalfa and Johnson Grass Crops Equal Those of Any Part of the Coun- try--Modern Methods of Farming.

cry soil, one of these men with intelll- gence enough and industrious enough
 to raise big crops of cotton at a profit and courageous enough to cut loose from old traditions and make money through the growing of hay and the raising of sheep and cattle. Near neighbors of his are native Montgom- erians. F. s. Holt and w D. Peck, both of whom run model hay farms, and
 both of whom make money out of the raising and the selling of hay.
 The Kentucky Method.
 Just beyond the Vaughan farm is the i stock farm of Mrs. F. J. Hagan, late
 of Kentucky, who has within her barn
 yards thirty-three fine short horns
 with long pedigrees. and who are reg istered as the best of their breed mile away is the new country
 home of Dr. w. M. Brooks. He, too. is from Kentucky. And coming from
 Kentucky, he Is raising stock and grain. Dr. Brooks Is only a year in Alabama.
 Engaged in the same sort of agricul- tural endeavor is William Deitchmeyer. His place Is across the Central Railroad adjoining that of Hunter Vaughan He
 Is to engage in stock raising and in the growing of cotton. MT. Deitchmeyer only took possession of his present place the first of January. He pro-
 poses to raise both mules and horses.
 He also comes from Kentucky.
 4 Kansas Farmer.
 Kansas man has bought the old Farley place, on the Woodley Road, in this same neighborhood. He has built himself two-story home with round white posts on the veranda. This is Jesse Joness~a young man. who is
 farming on the Kansas plan and who
 has barn yard full of Percheron
 horses. strong and heavy wagons and shining harness. He, too, is raising grain and stock as we'll as some cotton. Hard by on the Woodley Road and closer to town is the fine farm of J. A.
 Barnes. Mir. Barnes is a great raiser
 of alfalfa and is an authority upon that fine forage.
 A circle with it's center in the proper place and with a radius of about a
 mile and half would touch each and
 every one of these grain stock farms.
 While special stress is being laid upon the growng of grain upon these, farms
 it is not to be forgotten that there is not one of these farms mentioned which do not support and feed hogs and cattle of the proudest birth. On old Cotton Farms.
 The new idea. the idea of this neigh borhood Is a thing of recent birth These farms are established on old cot ton plantations, on the rich and hardy prairie acres, acres upon which time hardly seems to make an impression. Hard by these hay and grain fields are prairie lands which this last year. with out hint of fertilizer produced a bale of cotton to the acre. The native Alabamians have been upon the farms thereabouts for several years, but the growing of hay is thing of recent history. That which most impresses However. is the influx of the new idea farmers who have come in and settled down in this one neighborhood.

BLA1R's LIFE INSURANCE.
Taking of Testimony is Continued New York.


 New York, Jan. 12.--The investiga- tion into the mode of life of the late James l.. Blair of St. Louis. as re- suit of the suit of the Mutual Life In- surance Company. to cancel policy of $2O0, 900 on his life. was resumed to- day before Judge F. L. Schofield, the master appointed by the court to take testimony.
 Dr. Simons. medical director of the company testified that he examined MT Blair after his application for a policy had been made in January, 1902. He said Blair told him that he wished to take out large policy both for the purpose of protection and as an invest ment. He gathered from Rair's re- marks that he was amply able to pay for such insurance. Another insurance company had refused to accept Blair as a risk, but subsequently, had Issued c policy to him.
 pr. Simons said that had he known Blair's social and financial position at the time he would not have accepted him. Continuing, Dr. Simons stated that no insurance company takes erlm- inals, for the risk is too great George E4 Tarbell a Vice President of the Equitable Life Assurance Com

By Will T. sheehan.

The Tennessee Valley is fair to look upon, whether it be that its hills and hollows are clothed in verdure or be- decked with the gayer dress of ripen- ing grain; a beautiful sight is the grain country of Tennessee. the pig barns on the undulating hills filled to overfowing with the rich harvest or the fertile acres, the spirited, slender limbed animals looking disdainfuily from the aristocratic barn yards in the pride of their long ancestry, and the blue grass meadows of Kentucky. whose beauty has been perpetuated iD song and story-a beautiful sight they are in spring or In summer.
 The most enthusiastic admirers of the rich and the beautiful grain coun- try are Montgomerians who whirl through its beauties in upholstered Pullmans or who count themselves for tunate if chance gives them an oppor- tunity of spending few days among the swaying grain. the pedigreed stock and the rural beauties which surround them. And we'll worthy of praise and admiration is 1t all.
 The Montgomerians whose commen- dation of it all has been so enthusias- tically expressed have no call for ex- plantation and apology. nor has their discernment left an opening for criti- cism.
 Montgomery Stock Raising.
 And yet in their own County, in the County of Montgomery, there is a grain country" a stock country" that is at once beautiful and inspir- ing, a stretch of country upon which the eye falls with the same delight as that with which it greets the rural graces of Tennessee and Kentucky. A grain country, a stock country in Ala bama--it is a new thought. Still with in a few miles of Montgomery, within sight of the Capitol, hundreds of acres are given to the growing of hay. both of alfalfa and of Johnson grass. of oats, of corn, and within sight of the Capitol there are barn yards full of cattle with a lineage as proud and a pedigree as long as that of Chi nese nobleman. There are barns filled to bursting with hay and graln- quick action, labor-saving machinery hard by while wind mills wnlrring in the breeze, fat and lazy hogs, impa- tient horses, high caste chickens. ducks and geese. It is almost a new country. .this old country In its new dress.
 It lies southeast of Montgomery along the Carter Hill and the Woodley Roads. two of the magnificent thor oughfares broad, hard and smooth which radiate from Alabama's capital through the rich agricultural paradise known as the prairies. It Is pierced. too, by the Montgomery and Eufaula division of the Central of Georgia Rail- road.
 Hunter Vaughan Place.
 Perhaps the richest thing in this grain section is the famous Hunter Vaughan place. where the single item of hay foots up to 1.500 tons a year, and where they blow the land with @ traction engineza and gang blows. Most of those who are growing grain and raising stock have come from Ken lucky or other distinctly grain coun- tries, but Mir. Vaughan is a native product born and reared on Montgom-

which makes hay a valuable crop. The ground Is only plowed once every three years. On all other years the ground Is let alone. The only trouble the hay farmer has is the cutting. the piline into stacks and the baling. But every three years the ground is broken up because the grass gets too thin if it is allowed to remain longer without attention.
 Last year a ton of .ay brought $12. The money returns from an acre in hay which produced a ton and a half was therefore about SIS. The outside cost of growing an acre of Johnson grass hay Is not large. It is figured out that for the cutting, baling and other attendant expenses an acre of hay costs s4.
 Use Modern Machinery.
 So important has the industry be- come around Montgomery that the hay growers have brought into use every class of quick labor-saving device Steam blows. harrows, reapers and binders are put into use. On the Hun ter Vaughan place the, ballng Is helped along by the twenty-horse traction engine which runs the hay press. witb the traction engine doing business as "a stationary engine and running the hay press ten tons of hay are put up in bales each day. In other words the hay press. when run by steam, bales between 400 and 500 bales daily The other hay presses when operated by mule power puts up about 75 bales a day.
 A hay crop is much less likely to fail than cotton crop. A dry summer is what the hay raiser most fears. Johnson grass needs heat and mois- ture, two agricultural factors that are largely in evidence in Montgomery County's summers.
 The local hay crop is sold to Mont gomery merchants, to merchants in other cities and direct to large con- sumers. Big wagons piled high with hay and pulled by four mules are com mon and usual sights on Montgomery's streets. They are these wagons. the Tconnecting links between the hay farms and the storehouses and the freight depots of Montgomery. The shipment of hay continues throughout all the months of the year. Several car loads of Montgomery raised hay have gone out since Christmas and several more will go out during the other winter months.

 Washington. Jan. 12.-Senator Me- Comas of Maryland discussed with the President today the matter of freight rate legislation. He said he was not thinking himself of offering meas ure dealing with the subject, but he believed that there was ample time for effective legislation at the present ses- sion~and that the necessity for an ex- traordinary session for the considera- ton of that legislation could be dis posed of by action now.
 Several members of Congress have told the President that sentiment for immediate action on the rate question is gaining ground and today the hope is expressed that an extraordinary ses- sion to deal with that subject may not be necessary.
