WILL JONES' JAUNT
 A JOYFUL JOURNEY
Saw Many Friends and Many Inter- esting Things in the E1fete East.

Will w. Jones, assistant cashier of company. yesterday morning returned to the city. after an absence of sev- eral weeks. He had not anticipated returning to Phoenix on the hottest day of the year, but was of the opin- ion after he had been here a few hours that such was his misfortune. The heat however, was not any worse than some of the eli 4aate he had encounter ed in his vacation journeyings. Rain and rainy weather he found more dis agreeable than heat and he was in lots of it in the east. During his travels he met with several who formerly made Phoenix their home and in each il stance he said they were prosper ing.
 MT. Jones visited at Indianapolis with the family of Garret Ryan, and later at his former home at Marietta OhiO after which he went further east and was in New York and Washing ton for a considerable time. While iu Washington. MT. Jones met MT. C. C Randolph, formerly owner of The Re publican. MT Randolph very kindly showed him the sights of the capital city and otherwise entertained him, making his visit to Washington one Of the most pleasant stops of his whole trip. Everywhere he met new people he was interrOgated regarding Arizo- na and Phoenix. While people gener- rally are not familiar with this sec ton. they show a very good sign and that is that they are in an inquiriug mood. Whenever opportunity present ed itself, Mir. Jones did not fail to fur nish the desired information.
 Everywhere he travelled he saw evidences of prosperity, the most marked being that of the agricultural sNetion of the central states. Kansas
 As harvesting a crop. the equal of which had not been grown before in the Sunflower state. This. MT. Jones explained, should ~ot be misinterpre- ted. There have been greater crops grown before in Kansas. but this year

they are able to harvest a greater crop and haul it to market. The railroads had anticipated a big crop and had guarded against a car famine.
 The last ten days prior to his start west, MT. Jones spent in the Allegheny mountains at a summer resort He found such trip most interesting, and the Atlantic mountain range a de- lightful place for rest. It was this he was in search of for the pleasures of travel had caused him to neglect his rest, the primary object of his leaving Arizona. MT. Jones has enjoy ed the best of health during his jour ueY.

LIST OF DEMOCRATS
DELEGATES TO CONVENTION FROM
 MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
Tsventy-fOur Names are Filed with Chairman of Committee aud the
 Entries Have
 Closed.

The last day for filing declarations of candidacy for delegates to the State Democratic Convention. to be held fin Montgomery September 10, having ex- pIred yesterday, Chairman A H. Ar rington of the Montgomery County Committee gave out the list of eandi- dates filed with him, whose names will be printed on the ballot to be used In the primary election of August 27.
 The list of men who qualified as can didates to serve on the Montgomery delegation is as follows: B. P. Crum, Bibb Graves, s. H. Dent, Jr., w. W. Hill. IP. H. Stern, Ray Rushton. Leopold Strauss. Naham J. Greil, Eugene Baber. w. A. Gayle, John c. Crommelin, A. H. Arlington, F. M Jones, s. J, Pettus, George 6hackelford. Jesse B. Walter. E. M Benbow, J. Nj. Townsend. l. D. Collier, W. R. Waller. s. J. Guy. Hugh Belser, John c. Carter. A. J. Taylor.
 It will be observed that there are only twenty-four candidates and as Montgomery IS entitled to twenty-four election of these delegates will be a mere matter of form. There will be no contests for the places.
 The State Convention will probably meet in the big Montgomery Audito- rum. It will be the largest body of Democrats ever gathered in Alabama by reason of the fact that the represen- tation of nearly every county in the State has been increased because of in- creased population.
 The chief duty of the convention will be to nominate a Chief Justice and Justices of the Supreme Court. 1t will also elect a State Democratic Commit tee and adopt a Democratic platform.
 According to custom, 1t Is probable that one of the two members of the incoming State Committee to represent the Second Congressional District will be chosen from Montgomery County.

WANTS A FRANCHISE
SELMA IS HUNGRY FOR ORGANIZE
 ED HALL.
Lean Bailey fs Authorized by Capital ists to Look Into Prospects for Entering the Cotton States
 Leawue,
Advertiser Bureau.

Advertiser Bureau.
 Selma, August IF.
 It seems rather early to think of base ball for next summer. but. never theless, there are a few In Selma who are giving this matter thought now
 1t Is being given serious thought too. and 1t is very likely that 1t may result in Selma having a st-eIass base ball club next summer and franchise in a league, presumably the Cotton States League What the out come of this movement which has been started by a few will be. time alone can tell.
 It Is almost certain that next sum- mer the Cotton States League will have eight clubs in it. Selma wants one of the franchises in that league and with this end in view the matter Is being agitated. This city could have had a franchise In that league this summer but no one wanted to take hold of the matter and finance the undertaking.
 Since the organization of the inde- pendent team here a few weeks ago 1t has been demonstrated that there are still in Selma many hundred lovers of the national game. While the games of the club here are being patronized fairly we'll there is the longing for organized ball which cannot be over COmGQ Dy the DAAl tnat IS pidNcu bY AIt amateur or semi professional club. Ir Is in answer to this desire that a de- termined effort will be made to secure franchise in the Cotton States League.
 Another drawback to the attendance at Riverside Park Is the question of getting to the grounds. The walk hot stretch of sand in the sun is very tiresome and keeps many from att tending the games. It is understood here now that if Selma has a base ball club next summer that different grounds will be used. Col. F. F.. Abbott of the Selma street and su- burban railway, has signified his will lingness 10 build grounds and ix them up properly on the car line.
 The grounds will be opposite Elkdale Park and in the big field where the l soldiers of the two encampments here | this summer held their drills Such grounds would give the patrons of the sport no trouble in getting out to see the games and with a little work and the expenditure of a hundred or SO dollars this field can be made one of the finest base ball parks in the State. The matter of securing the franchise in the Cotton States League has al- ready been given a good imJeus. Two citizens have already told Lem Bailey, the manager of the Independent club, to take up this matter. Each one of them have told him that he could put them down for $50 of the necessary sum for the organization and securing of club In that league. Bailey thinks that the franchise can probably be secured and many other lovers of the game here will be willing to put in various amounts for the organiza- tion of company to run club in that league.

Two Houses Buraed.

Late last night the fire department was called to the corner of Small and Washington Streets In the northern part of the city. Two cottages. which had been recently erected and which were occupied by negroes, were dis covered in a blaze. The run of the department to the blaze was long one and before they arrived at the scene of the fire, both of the cottages were almost completely destroyed.
 How the blaze originated is not known. Both of the cottages and the furniture 1 nthem were destroyed. The loss Is placed at about $l.50O. which is thought to epartly covered by in- suranoe.

College Preparation of Farmers Fol
 Their Work.


 The question is often raised whether or not the agricultural college ,s meeting the needs the farming class es. It Is pointed out In answering the question that many of the college men are filling either government or State positions and not in the actual prac-
 tice of farming. This has been true
 from the agricultural colleges have been few and the demand strong in educational and experimental insti- tutions for college trained men. Care the fact that many agricultural col Iege graduates are still claimed by such institutions. but that a large number college training are actually farming for Themselves and giving good ac- count of their education. Whether engaged in experimental work, agrt- cultural education or actual farm prac- tice. the value of tho college training Is showing forth and should be con- sidered a credit to the institution siv- 1t may be of interest to know what becomes of the graduates from few of our leading colleges where tue four year of long course IS givevn. The Iowa Agricultural College claims that ninety-lave per cent of its graduates
 take up some line of agricultural work. This. of course includes those managing farms. as well as those who fa~Yn for themselves. Dean Curtiss says that the demand for strong uSen always exceeds the supply. Perdue U iversity Indiana. gives figures showing that eighty-nine per cent of the graduate students are engag- ed in work for which they were pre- pared by their college training. Six ty-nine per cent. are actually prac- ticing agriculturs. The Ohio AgricuI- turai College shows that 7s.s per cent, of the graduates are in agricultural work and 64.6 per cent are farmers. Nearly all of the Illinois Colleges are In agricultural work, with the usual number taking up college and station
 work. That those who return to the Narm regard their college training a direct benefit Is shown by the fact that offers of positions. with salaries ot S60 per month do not prove attrac- tive, and that some who have been farming for a short time refused salary of tl,eOo per year from an agri- cultural college. also. the majority of graduates are following agricultural '. ork. In Minnesota the case is sim liar. Those graduating from the four year course in agriculture are with
 very few, exceptions either engaged as teachers or experinenters or actually farnninR for themselves

Beginning tomorrow afternoon at Riverside Park, the second series of games between the Selma and Thomas vile club will be started. Both of these clubs have been strengthened considerably since they played togeth- CT last and will play a much better game.
 During the latter part of the week the Selma club will probably for the first time meet the Demopolis club on the local diamond. While arrange ments for the latter games have not been concluded. it Is thought that the Demopolis club will come to Selma.

 From the foregoing figures, it is eyi- dent that the colleges and schools of agrfculture are somewhere near full
 nlains the purpose for which they
 mind, however. that the colleges men tioned are situated W. re the axricul-
 tural environment ia strong and the demand for trained agricuiturists fs I greater than in other portions of our
 country. There are undoubtedly some colleges where the tendency is still
 away from rather than toward the
 ticai agriculture Is given, and where
 the manual labor necessary to manage
 farm. even under scientific direc-
 ton, IS looked upon with shrug of The glory of our Western agrtcul-
 turai colleges has been in the pride they have taken in the practical side or education. The idea that education could come through a study of animal | development, cattle feeding, growing and improving grain, etc. is a crea- | tion Of the Western agricultural col- iege. Offfcered as they are by men | who have in many instances grown up | In the environment of the farm, i,n- | bued with the spirit of work. and be- l neviag that farming is the noblest of | professions is it cause of wonder ment that they enthuse their pupfiss | with desire for still better aRrfcui- ture afnd turn then toward the farm |? When graduates of the colleges of ag- | rtcufture will point with pride at a well-managed farm and say as did an | Ohio graduate recently: That is a better place for me and my family than any city office or business" sure- ly our colleges are not far astray.

The content ment of our farmers. the Improvement in farms and farm homes. and the gen | eral prosperity which has attended all I agricultural pursuits since their es- l tablishment emphasize the wisdom of their work.
