ters of the situation, but if they persist in planting all their lands in cotton, and raise more than the needs of the world, they may expect whatever the bear spec ulators say it is worth"
 The letter of Commissioner Poole fol- lows:
 Letter to Farmers.
 To the Farmers of Alabama:
 As the time is drawing near for the planting of the crop of 1906, I wish to urge upon you the necessity of planting sufficient crops for home consumption. There is being shipped into the state every year, immense quantities of corn and meat, which is a reflection upon our entire state and if this policy Is pur- sued, disaster Is sure to follow. 1 wish to urge upon you the necessity of planting a sufficient acreage in corn, oats, alfalfa, peanuts, peas, sorghum sugar cane and potatoes for home consumption. With an ample supply of these products on hand the farmer is comparatively inde- pendent 1t matters not what his cotton crop may be; if on the other hand he has to purchase these supplies, his cotton crop will be absorbed in payment of same.
 Labor is gradually growing scarcer every year. and no land that will make less than one-half bale of cotton is profit dDlG lO WOIhB lily duN1ce IS to the Tar mers of the state to abandon the poor lands and confine their energies to their best acres. Professor Duggar has said, that one-third of the lands being work ed in Alabama were unprofitable and were robber lands, robbing the other two thirds of their profits" These abandoned acres can be turned to good account by turning the land to pasture, sowing in grasses of various kinds and other forage crops.
 Don't Neglect Other Crops.
 I want to urge upon you the necessity of not planting all of your lands in cotton and neglecting the crops above mentioned. crop of cotton over 11,OO0, 900 bales means less than 10 cents per pound a crop under 100000 bales means 10 cents and above. The movement inaugurated at New Orleans by the Southern Cotton associa- tion in my opinion. is a very wise one, it's objects and purposes is to teach the far mer to make his farm self-sustaining and more intelligent marketing for his cot ton, in my opinion, this is a very wise measure, and I hope that every farmer in Alabama will join his local cotton association and give it his hearty and cordial support, In my opinion there is no cause for the recent decline in cot ton; the crop will be in the neighbor- hood of 100000 bales. and is worth 121h cents; so do not sell your cotton on de- elining market The farmers of the south, if they but act intelligently and in con cert, are the masters of the situation but If they persist in planting all of their lands in cotton, and raise more than the needs of the world they may ex- pect whatever the bear speculator says 1t Is worth. The farmer is menaced from two sides. the bear spectators of Wall street, and the boil weevil from the west but If he will raise him home supplies with full corn cribs and smoke houses he is practically independent and Is mas ter of the situation. Very respectfully

Selma. February 6-(Speeial 1.-TWO negroes, Bud Brown and Andy Shivers, were arraigned in the city court today charged with highway robbery A few weeks ago a negro by the name of Joe Sloan came to Selma from Florida. In I,eonard's saloon he flashed a roll of bills and Brown and Shivers let their greedy eyes fall upon it. When the negro left the place they followed him and upon reaching a dark street one of them felled him with a broken buggy shaft and then both relieved him of his wealth
 In an hour or two the Florida negro managed to crawl to police headquarters and officers were at once put upon the trail of the negroes. Brown and Shivers were arrested and in Mayors court bound over to the grand jury. This morning when their cases came up in the city court they entered a plea of guilty and receiv- ed sentences of two years for Brown and eighteen months for Shivers.

operation in the election Of the boards
of trustees into whose hands the man

turned. The object is to prevent the
election of the so-cal1ed administration

the men who have brought about the
present conditions and instead to elect
the National policyholders' ticket for
the New York Life and the United
Committees ticket for the Mutual

are best fitted to safeguard the policy

the directors Of the two companies were
elected by vote Of less than one-fifth
of 1 per cent of the policyholders5 The

An organized campaign will soon be
launched by the commercial organiza-
tions of North and Northeast Mime
apolis for cross-town car line that
will connect these two ends of the
city by means of line across the Mis-
sissipri river. Already work is quiet
ly under way and much has been done
in the way of preparation.
It is contended that these two sec
tions are now separated so they can
not work together. It is further main
tanned that with cross-town line both
sections will receive substantial boost.
and great benefit to the entire city re-
suit. So. ..g.53
The exact route will be decided in
conference, but at present a line across
the river" at Plymouth or Twentieth
avenues N is favored. It is proposed
to extend across Northeast Minneapo-
lis on Broadway or Thirteenth avenue
NE to Central avenue, or to connect
with the line that will be built to the
Armour plant. With this important
industry established North Minneapo-
lis and the closer Northeast district
will demand better connections that a
share Of the benefits accruing may be
| received. =.
| 3 Bridges Are There.
At present the only car lines on both
sides the river parallel it, There are
bridges at Plymouth, Twentieth ave-
| nue. N and Thirty second avenue N,
but there are no lines on them. Points
on opposite side of the river that are
both on car lines and are less than
half a mile apart, cannot be reached
without travelling from two to FIVE
miles, down one side Of the river,
across the Central avenue bridge, and
back up the other side, or walking.
A line across Plymouth avenue, it is
argued, would be great. convenience
at present and save much time. Every
North Side line is reached at Plym-
outh and Washington, and by continu-
ing the line thru Northeast Minneapo-
lis on Broadway, all Northeast lines
| can be intersected9s The long trip thru
the center Of the city would be obvi-
ated, and congestion in the center Of
the city avoided. The same line .ex-
tended could be made part of the
I Armour plant line, and valuable dis
tributor of traffic to and from that
point. 40. :.@.J ~. )" %<

better route, and it. is suggested also
that the Plymouth line might run
north to Thirteenth avenue NE after
crossing the bridge and then extended
east to intersecting lines. *..= .
