IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Alabama As robacco State.

Editor Charles II. Greer, the weli-khoWh newspaper man of Marion. who with the cooperation of Congressman unoer"ooo was largely instrumental in estaphsliiis tobacco culture in Perry county is niipis of the opinion that Alabama IS oes'ineo to become one of the largest .opaeeo growing states in the union. MT. dreer talks Interestingly ok the experiments that have been so successfully made' anu proves his assertions by facts ana hs ures.
 "A day or two ago." said MT. Greef' the tobacco growers in Perry county sold their this years crop, consisting ol ,0o0 pounds to Chicago hrm TOT i' cents per pound
 "The average yield per year Tor this years crops was from Soo 'o ooo pounds. The plant natures ninety days after it Is planted out, which makes remarkably short record for cultivation. Even if 1t would take 10 cents per pouha to raise and get the tobacco ready TOT the market, there would still be greater return on the acre than on any other crop.
 'I believe that we can, by the help or the small negro boys and girls, who are too young to work in the cotton helos' raise the tobacco for cents a pound
 This is the third year that tobacco culture has been tested in Perry county. The first two years the government sent experts to assist the farmers in raising the crops. As the experiment age mas now passed, 1t Is my opinion that the crops next year will be very large.
 "Of course the tobacco raised In thi5 state is all used as filler but, accordihs to the government reports the quality or the weed ranks second in the United States to Florida.
 Some time ago the Washington Post published a story which proves that the quality of the Alabama tobacco Is eduai- cd by none gentleman who was con sidered one of the best judges of cigars in the country was given an Alabama filler, and at the same time was told that tke cigar was imported from Havana and retailed for 50 cents in this country. The epicurean smoked the cigar and pro- nounced 1t as the best quality and tho finest favored
 Already the cotton planters In our county have sold their next years crops to the Chicago dealers, the trade being made through the government experts, who will inspect and classify the tobac- co. The farmers agree to sell the yield of given number of acres, and they may get from 15 to 20 cents pound for the product Preparations are being made to plant large crops next year.
 "One advantage the tobacco had over other crops Is that 1t can be made in ninety days After the plants are stripped, which is done in August, another crop can be planted on the land"

HE new movement begun to pay off the indebtedness of Vulcan ahou1d roo.;,,a tha ao-aparat tian

E(A AiA1 new HONtlhtAl bcShh to pay NY off the indebtedness of Vulcan
 should receive the cooperation and endorsement of Birmingham people. Here of late tendency to make sport of Vulcan has developed, but such levity Is III advised. Far be 1t from us to n- dulge in laugh at the expense of man when he is down, even though he be an Iron man. As matter of fact Vulcan has done great work for Birmingham. The value of the advertising given this dis trict by the statue is incalculable. A.. A. Seaver, a successful advertising manager of New York. stated that Vulcan has been worth more than a million dollars to Birmingham. The statue gave pub licity to a section that as since become widely known In this country and abroad. At the St. Louis fair it called attention to a city and district that were totally un- familiar to many people who paused to wonder at the colossus. When Vulcan was first projected papers in all parts of the United States devoted columns and pages to descriptions of Birmingham's great iron man. The statue was talked about and written about from the time 1t was con- ceiyed until 1t was brought back from St. Louis, to lie neglected on Red moun- tain. Now. the immense advertising brought by Vulcan came from an invest ment of only $25,000. It is estimated that s7o00 or ss000 more will be needed to clear Vulcan of debt and place him on his feet where he can be an honor to the town. The necessary sum should be forth coming without delay. Birmingham owes this tardy recognition to the Iron Man.

 The confession of MT. Pat Grove that he planned to kidnap John D. Rockefeller and hold him for a s200O GOO ransom is in- teresting. Had MT. Grove succeeded in his ambitious scheme there would have been mighty scurrying around to find the missing Standard Oil king, and the incident would have resulted in lasting renown for the kidnaper. While Dr. Glad den and other financial individuals might. be glad to see MT. Rockefeller kidnaped a little old s20oo,0O0 ransom would not worry him much.

AUTOMOBILING. Tooti Tooti Scoot! Scoot!
 Deadi

The Washington Times laughs because wife-beater in Norfolk county, Virginia. has been sentenced to kiss his wife twice a day. The Times fears that, inasmuch as the wife is short and the husband long, this oft repeated stopping will work 8 hardship but that Is not serious. The unfortunate wife-beater can tighten his labors by kissing some other woman be- tween whiles, as it 'twere. and thus prove the truth of the old saying that variety is the spice of life.

GREENWICH MANS
HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

Benjamin Lore had an experience
Sunday at Wildwood in which he
distinguished himself in very praise.
worthy manner.
I As.he was about to 90 into the surf,
cries of distress came from the end OF
the pier and he, with life guard.
started to the aid OF two life guards,
who were struggling in the waves.
When Lore and the life guard got out
a short distance, the'guard handed the
buoy to Lore and saidIs You are taller
than |, and I am getting the cramps. "
Lore took the rope and made for the
two men in the waves. One of them
was Daniel Briggs, son of Charles
Briggs, of Greenwich, who went down
to Wildwood about couple of weeks
ago as life guard.
He, with others, was diving from
the pavilion. The second time he
dived down he did not come up, and
the other man went in after him.
Then it was found that Briggs back
was broken.
Lore succeeded in getting out to the
two men, and men on shore pulled in
the rope. As theIrope was pulled in
with great rapidity, it cut and bruised
Lore's hand. One of the men had hold
around Lore's neck and Lore was sup
porting the other with his free hand.
AS they had got into shallow water
before Lore's grasp of the rope was
loosened, he succeeded alone in get
ting both men safely ashore.
The injured man was placed on a
cot, and carried to the train and sent
to the Cooper Hospital, Camden.
The report that reached here was
that the injured man died while on
the way to Camden.
Mr.. Briggs married a lady from
Pennsgrove and has one child. His
father is away in Mr.. Wetherill's
boat, down on the coast-of Maine, it
is supposed, and up to this morning
his folks were in ignorance of the
affair, as no word had been sent them.
