 The warm weather during Christmas week she found quite oppressive and as she said she felt Hike she was in rab- bit stew" Miss Keller is very fond of walking and on these long summer days takes long walks with her mother and Miss Curren or with her sisters young companions. in whose society she delights. She is frequently seen on the streets of Florence, generally walking rapidly and with as much confidence as though she saw. A favorite amusement with her is solitaire, which she plays with a deck or cards she has merked with raised letters.
 Miss Keller will return to Rentham in April to attend the wedding of Miss Sul- livan, after which sne will take up her work as before. But meanwhile she will take a complete rest and enjoy herself as other girls do.

BIRMINGHAM WINS
 ATLANTA LOSES
F Biz Lot Of Silks Have Been
 Acquired bu
LOVEMAN. JOSEPH & LOEB
The Strong Rivalry in Which the Bir- mingham Store So Far Is
 the Only One to Be
 Successful.

Just after the Christmas season-or rather before the real spring selling be- gins, silk manufacturers throughout. the country take their entire winter lines of silks and sell them to some large re- tail house. They likewise take sample lines of new silks and so-caled hand woven silks, the latter hand-woven for the sake qf accuracy and artisticness.
 As rule, very few of these silks ever find their way south, for the large houses of New York and Chicago have not only the necessary capital, but the ability to sell the silks after they buy them.
 While a number of houses in the south are sufficiently strong financially to ac- quire big lots of these silks-they are not able to buy them because they lack an outlet
 Frequently there will be 40,0O0 to 75.000 yards offered one purchaser. Manufact- urers will not sell them to southern stores in small quantities, because the big east ern stores are ready to take the entire lc ts on account of the prices being so cheap.
 The last year or so two or three of the stores of the south Have undertaken to acquire some of these silks, put the only store so far to be really successful has been Loveman. Joseph x Loeb
 Being the largest store in the south and having the largest business, outlet is provided for the purchase, and so each January and April d special sale of these silks is made.
 The sale next week has touch of personal interest. in that the special lots hlch will be offered by them came very near going to Atlanta, but no store in Atlanta could take the en- tire lot although one or two, 1t seems, offered to take a part of them, even to the extent of being willing to pay 15 to 20 per cent more.
 The rivally to get hold of these silks may be understood when 1t is known that they generally sell for about 30 to 60 per cent on the dollar. The store that enjoys big enough trade to handle them and is wise enough to sell them the same way, that Is 50 cents or 30 cents on the regular retail price. not only stim- ulates big business for the dull months, but makes a fair profit; the newer Idea of merchandising being the possibility Of selling at reduced prices and still make a profit, which is only possible in acquir- ing enormous quantities.

MR, POOLE URGES
 B|G ATTENDANCE Wants Large Number to Go to
 New Orleans FAVORS HOLDING COTTON Thinks Plan Should Be Devised for Taking Million Bales Off the
 Market and for Reducing
 Acreage Next Year.
FAVORS HOLDING COTTON

Montgomery, January 7.-(Special.)- Commissioner of Agriculture R. R. Poole is very much stirred up over the ques- tion of the low values of cotton and is planning and thinking along every line possible to bring about a betterment of conditions. He isurging large attendance upon the meeting of cotton men called for January 24, 25 and 26. at New Orleans, and will try to have the Association of Cotton States Commissioners of Agricul- ture meet there at l.4e same time.
 MT. Poole believes that the only hope t. meet the situation is to hold 1000, 900 bales of cotton off the market and reduce the acreage of next year at least 25 per cent. Everything that can be done to induce large attendance in all the coun- ties at the meetings called by MT. Poole for next Tuesday, the 10th, will be. and all the farmers will be asked to lay off tfat day and get together upon a prop osition to reduce the acreage and hold at least a million bales. To this end MT. Poole issued today the following circular letter:
 Sends Out Letter.
 To the Farmers of Alabama: You have been requested to meet at your country towns on Tuesday, January 10, for the purpose of discussing the cotton situation, as we find it today. Contrary to all expec- tations the 1904 crop has reached the enormous amount of l2,000,000 bales. ac- cording to the government report. The size of the crop has given speculators an opportunity to force the price down ft ;- hoIr f1,n aat,,a of production. Can we afford to produce cotton at loss. and are we going to al- low our property confiscated without a serious and determined protest? The spinners are yet to be supplied; if our people will not force their holdings on the market, the demand will bring the price up in a reasonable length of time
 l hope that you will discuss plans for holding your surplus. taking the mer- chants and bankers into your councils. When you have done this call neighbor- .. hood meetings for the purpose of formu- lating some plan whereby we can decrease our acreage this year. We need and must have the cooperation of all farmers in this reduction of acreage, or it will be fruitless. Public sentiment should be aroused to this important feature, and the man who refuses to decrease his acrea ge should be considered as an enemy to his neighbor and his country.
 Making a binding reduction of your acreage of at least 9 per cent. When the government makes its first report in May, giving the decrease in acreage, you will find that the price will advance, provided. of course, that our people have not forced the surplus of 100000 bales on the mar ket Put this surplus out of sight, where it cannot be sold, and do not be induced to part with it until you can receive a its production.
 l want to urge you to send strong delegation to the National Cotton con vention which meets in New Orleans on
