Local Beet Growers Organize.

In response to the call issued, more
than fifty beet growers met at the Carl
ton hotel Saturday afternoon and per-
fected local organization of branch of
Rock County Beet Growers Association.
M. A. Head of Albion was made chair
man and D. P. Devine secretary and
treasurer. A general discussion was
taken regarding the reforms asked for
in receiving and weighing of the crop.
A committee to draft constitution and
bylaws was appointed consisting of E..
F. McGinnity, [. l.. Wentworth and
Thos. Pierce. Thos. Pierce was also Sc
lected delegate and Frank Hebel alter
nate to attend conference of represent
atives of the different branches held in
GAINESVILLE Monday to formulate the de-
mands of the growers. It was agreed
not to sign any contracts for the coming
season until report from this confer
ence had been made, and an adjourn
ment was made for one week to meet at
the same place to listen to the report of
the delegate. More money per ton for
the beets and weighing and taring sta
tons at delivery points are the principal
reforms which the growers talk.
WHAT THE BEET GROWERS WANT.
The organization which is being eff
fected in the beet growing district for
the purpose of insisting upon certain re-
forms has begun to crystalline into vari-
Gus changes demanded in future con-
tracts which are about as follows:
Beet seed was to be furnished by the
sugar company
Beets should be S4.75 per ton.
Beets averaging below IA per cent. to
be 81 80 per ton and 25 cents per ton to
be added at every per cent. of beets
testing over IA per cent. after Nov. LIST
and so cents afrer Nov. Is.
Beets to be paid for the 10Th of the
month after being delivered.
That Prof. Henry of the University
appoint man to test the beets.
That the beet growers have the right
to use the laboratory to test their own
beets or do their own testing.
That the beets shall be cut just below
lowest top.
That in case of fire or anything hap
pening to the company, the company
shall have the option of paying $40 per
acre for beets under proper cultivation,
the farmer to keep the beets instead of
S. an acre which the farmers got before.
That the beets shall be delivered at the
station and paid for at the station.
That the beets should be weighed and
tared at the station instead of at the
factory.
How many of these concessions they
will be able to secure remains to be seen,
but growers are determined not to sign
new contracts until the matter is set
tied
The sugar plant at Chippewa Falls
closed it's first seasons run on Jan. 4th.
1t was in operation 60 days and paid out
$4,000 for wages and $4,000 for beets.
This is 100000 added to the circulating
medium of our new Wisconsin.

 The population of the Horse Creek dis trict is something like 5000, and just now is one of the busiest mining camps in the state.
 Material is being put down and the foundation laid for new bank building on the main street. The building will be of modern architecture, two stories high and built of brick and stone. It will be 45xG0 feet and will be completed in about sixty days. The bank is to be organized at once and will be ready for business as soon as the building is ready.

The Age-Herald Messenger Boy" the new passenger train on the Frisco, which will run between Birmingham and Winfield, will greet the enterpris ing people of western Alabama on it's initial trip this morning. The expense of this local service is guaranteed by The Age-Herald.
 The Frisco traverses one of the finest agricultural and mining sections of the state, and the morning accom- modation, carrying The Age-Herald will prove of inestimable benefit to the people, who are quickly alive to every movement having for its object the material improvement and moral elevation of the masses. This new
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-04-16

train will surely supply great need, and every commercial interest on the route will derive direct benefit.
 A staff correspondent of The Age Herald visited some of the leading towns on the Frisco between Birming- ham and Winfield last week and writes Interestingly of his trip. The core spondent found Jasper a strong and growing center of a fruitful agrioul- tural section. That thriving city, as everyone knows, constitutes one of the most important communities in Ala bama. It's people are noted for their enterprise, and no more wide-awake or progressive merchants are in eyi-

WONDERFUL DEVELOPMENT
Strong Financial Institutions and Di- versified Commerce-Mayo Cram ford Patron Saint of Peo-
 pie Who Do Things.

Jasper, April 15.-(Special)-One judges a town or community by what its people are doing and have done.
 Ancient Rome and Greece were great because their people did great things. When their people ceased to do things these countries went into decay
 Fertility of soil does not always make a country great or prosperous. Power full cities are built upon gravel and black jack ridges by people who do things, while fertile valleys grow up to bram- bles where incidence prevails
 Jasper, the capital of the empire of Walker, is a town made up of people of action, people who do things, and there- fore find a prominent place on the map of the state You hear from Jasper be- cause it has within it's bounds men who are constantly doing things. It has not been many years since Walker county was synonymous with everything but progress and prosperity. Most of the territory was wild and considered worth less. Today it is one of the richest ana most progressive counties in the state, and Jasper is it's metropolis.
 Jasper's Mayor.
 J. H. Cranford, that patron saint of people who do things, is mayor of Jas per, and is closely identified with al- most every public institution in the town. He is president of the Bank of Jasper, the Commercial club and one of the chief promoters of the Jasper Water and Electric Light company.
 This progressive little city is situated forty-one miles west of Birmingham, on the Frisco railway, and where this road is crossed by the Northern of Alabama. Among those persons who have never visited Jasper there is a general idea that it is a mining town. This is not true. While it draws considerable busi- ness from the surrounding mineral prop six miles, and Jasper is free from the unpleasant conditions generally found in the mining camp. It is high, healthful and pleasant. The people are permanent citizens, owning their own homes, and the town has no floating population. The people of Jasper are social, progressive and highly intelligent. The negro popu- lation is very small.
 Walker is rapidly developing into one of the finest agricultural counties in the state and great portion of Jasper prosperity is due to the thrift of it's farmers. Jasper receives about 5000 bales of cotton per annum. The lumber bust ness is also one of great importance, there being vast tracts of fine timber lands in the county and Winston adjoin-

dence anywhere than those of Jasper.
 Carbon Hill, another town sketched by The Age-Herald's correspondent, is increasing in population every year. It is great mining town and furnishes striking object lesson in Alabama's s wonderful mineral development. Cor dova, Horse Creek and Adamsville were also visited, and at every point between Birmingham and Winfield the signs of industry and prosperity were marked
 The whistle of The Age-Herald's s Messenger Boy" will be heard every day in the year, and it goes without saying that 1t will be well patronized by passengers, going and coming.

TOWNSVILLE IS A
 PICTURESQUE TOWN
HAS TWO PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND A THRIVING POPULATION OF 1900 PEoPLE-Is A GOOD MIN ING CAMP.

Adamsville, April 15.-(Special)-Ad- amsville, thirteen miles from Bir-
 Adamsville thirteen miles from Bi,r- mingham, on the Frisco railway has just experienced very interesting mu- nicipal campaign, which resulted in a "dog-fall" between the present mayor, J. A. Turner. and W. B. shedd, the post master.
 There were 30 votes cast and each Of these gentlemen received 15 of them. The race is to be run over next Mon day. The candidates for council on the ticket with MT. Shedd were all elected in the first election. They were as fol- lows: J. J. Ray, w. M. Adams, J. H.. Burton Thomas Leslie, D. M. Black and Edward Hudson.
 Adamsville has a population of about 120O, and is one of the best mining camps in Jefferson county when the mines are in full operation.
 There are two public schools in the place with nearly 100 pupils each. One is the town public school and the other is a district school. Professor J. E. Johnson is principal of the town school and Pro- fesaor George Cofeld is principal of the district school
 J. w. Crumley conducts a livery stable in the place, Mir Maxwell the hotel and J. H. Guthrie has an extensive lumber, brick and coal business.
 Adamsville is high, dry and healthful, and resting on it's hundred hills, is one of the most picturesque mining villages in the district.
